> Ultimately I believe Tim Cook is a good human who really does want what he says and leave the world in a better place than what they found it.

What does a 'good human' mean in your context?

I'm not sure if the people that make Apple products would be convinced (suicide nets, plant explosions, high cancer and infertility rates) or the people mining minerals for chips. The conditions of all of these people are directly within Mr. Cook's influence.

Of course, it's possible to argue over a La Croix that the real social good is making lots of new iPhones every year, which give more important people more important power.

And you can make similar arguments about his vast international tax avoidance, keeping money from healthcare, education, housing, etc.

Does "good person" simply mean "their self-interest appears to be aligned with my own, and I assume yours"?

> IMO he really believes we all have a fundamental right to privacy and that they're doing everything in their powers to ensure their customers get it.

Everything in his powers? Then why a 50% margin? Why is his only lobbying interest in Washington lowering his tax bill?

I agree with the majority of posters on this thread, that privacy is a highly marketable feature, especially to older wealthy Americans. Cook is in the business of collecting the premium placed on privacy.

He is doing everything in his power to collect that premium.

If he was doing everything in his powers to further privacy, he could use Apple's considerable cash and lobbying muscle to push for legislation.

But, products wouldn't be aspirational if people in general could have them!
How do I get started in this?

I've always been fascinated, but it's not clear -- I believe there's some kind of license required (to be a good citizen), but I've never been sure how to go about getting that.

No, hiring a contractor is OK. When you know who you hire, that this is a real person, and he does not outsource to Indians, and he's not a hidden company.

How can anyone be denying global warming at this point in the game? It was 90* today in San Francisco. We're killing the earth and meanwhile everyone is distracted arguing about why we have to have blind jingoism and mandatory standing for the national anthem during football games.

The whole thing makes me so completely depressed. I am glad I don't have kids or else I would be too stressed out to function worrying about their lack of futures due to massive climate change.
Agreed. iCloud's antics keep forcing me to seriously consider android.

Their refusal to give you FS or cache access is similarly infuriating; I stopped using my old 16GB purely because I couldn't selectively control what was stored on the phone and iCloud photos was too dumb to control its cache. I would have gigabytes of old photos downloaded to my phone until it was so full that apps would regularly crash! I had to regularly toggle iCloud photo storage and basically just wait until my iPhone had locally cached enough of my library that it was full and broken again... And, of couree because Apple thinks their software "just works" or whatever, I couldn't just hit a "clear cache" button or manually rm files from the cache (still a hack, but one that takes all of two seconds).

At the moment, I'm keeping myself somewhat satisfied by just using adobe creative cloud for photos I care about, but it's not an ideal solution. And I'm annoyed that Apple basically forced me to buy a new phone a year or two earlier than I wanted to by crippling my old one with broken software.
If a bunch of unpopular technologies "need" to be deployed by a particular bureaucracy at a key transit point, it makes sense to dump them into a single project and not comment about them. "National security" maybe claimed simultaneously for both legitimate and ostensible reasons.

Is TLA+ pseudocode? It doesn't actually do anything, right? Your example with updating servers, it will never actually update the servers, right? After you try it out in TLA+, you still have to write the real code in some other language, like Bash.

If so, then isn't there still a risk of bugs in your Bash program, from typos, leaving out something from the TLA+ plan, or otherwise miscopying it?

If so, TLA+ does less than I thought. But I can see how it might be useful to work out a complex algorithm and scan it for holes.

And there were a number of other societies that didn't do anything like that because they didn't need to move around as much. Especially the ones in Africa, the Middle East, and the other places that were in very fertile locations. Like many of these pop-anthropology and evolutionary psych people, they seem to ignore how useful people in their 50s-60s can be to small groups, especially for things like child care.

Other dangers and just the toll of harsher environments did much more to lower the life expectancy than ritualized murder of old people.

It has the side effect of making privacy something that's just for rich people of course.

You could argue that if Apple really cared about privacy, they'd use their consider lobbying clout to propose some legislation to protect all Americans. Or even open source / publish more of their work to make it more available.
I never hear of anyone even attempting to live like a stone age person would. Nobody who romanticizes it ever seems to try it. Even people who love backpacking and camping bring along a whole pile of stuff made possible by civilization to make themselves more comfortable.

Heck, how many can make a fire without matches? Who'd give up boots? How about that parka? and that lightweight tent? canteen? cotton underwear? pots and pans? jeans? steel knife? trail mix? rain gear? toilet paper? the backpack frame and straps?

That is a different effect. Interstellar dust is extremely diffuse; it is just vacuum with the occasional chunk of matter absorbing some fraction of light. It can then reemit blackbody radiation, but that is different than what happens in continuous media, like glass or water.

> Android actually gives you control over security and privacy by telling you what your app API's get access to.

Simply mentioning a laundry list of the myriad things an app will be permitted to do is NOT giving me control over security and privacy.

That's not control, that's bullshit.

Apple got permissions right long before Android did: no third party apps have intrinsic permission to use the microphone, address book, location etc until the OS asks me on behalf of that app. And I can always say no if I want.
- The middle class should get a tax cut.

- Tax code loopholes used by the rich to pay nothing should be simplified / removed.

- Decamillionaires and up should pay more than zero, i.e., Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) isn't working except to snare the upper-middle class.

- Corporate income taxes are far too low, and need to return to 1950's levels.

Unfortunately, doing any of this requires difficult-but-worthy fundamental changes first: campaign finance reforms, lobbyist reforms and basically a purge of corrupt politicians in DC.
The thing is, glaciers move, so it is quite normal for them to calve, unlike an ice shelf. Global warming might cause glaciers to move faster by various influences and the thinning of the glaciers and the ice fields that feed them can be a real concern, but big calving from glaciers is not. Here is a gif[1] in the same twitter feed showing this iceberg calved off at almost the same location as the last one; meaning the glacier is not shrinking like many in Greenland are.

There's nothing to argue against. The article only mentions SV in its first sentence and obviously just as a made-up handwave. That's doesn't 'gratify intellectual curiosity' as the HN guidelines call for: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. What it gratifies is preconceived opinion, making it just the sort of article we don't want here. Whether the button-pusher happens to be SV or something else doesn't matter a bit.
The autocorrect/fuzzy search is a little too aggressive.

As an Emacs enthusiast I agree with that (GP's) statement. VScode is usable for everyone from the start yet is capable to grow just like vim and in most meaningful ways just like Emacs.

I have a feeling that this approachability is what will win in the end.

It won't win me over, but my investment in Emacs can be measured in over 50kb of elisp code :)

>Since when did marketing nudity become a praiseworthy thing? Or asking that is too politically incorrect these days?

Since forever.

The nude form is probably the most depicted thing in the history of human art, and artists have been paid to depict it since time immemorial.

Our museums, art galleries, and cinemas are filled to the brim with depicted nudes -- of every shape and size -- celebrating the human achievement of the creation of such art.

Think whatever of Hefner, but please understand that so-called 'marketing of nudity' and 'objectification of women' are entirely different concepts, and there are plenty of examples throughout human history of one without the other.
Consider photos. If I understand correctly, Apple is trying to do all the object/scene recognition stuff on the device itself, while Google requires you to upload your photos to the 'cloud' so they can analyze it there.
Even if you are not in the US, start with the US License! It has the best books and is convertible to many national licenses and it is cheap. Due to the American Volunteer Examiner system, exams can be and are held in many countries around the world. I, for example, passed my Extra Class exam last week in Germany. As soon as the FCC publishes it online, I will show it to the German authorities and get my German license without further exam.

Very very immature. E.g. the string library only knows about ascii, and does matching via tolower. Not usable for strings, only for memory.
It doesn't known about unicode, UTF-8, UTF-16 nor UTF-32. Matching must be done via foldcase (fc) not tolower,
There's a string splitter which only does ascii, so if it's UTF8 you get invalid strings, if it's wchar_t it's not usable.

The good things are: noexcept, no bloat, FixedArray as better alloca(), InlinedVector similar.

folly is much more advanced.
"Apple doesn’t gather your personal information to sell to advertisers or other organizations."

Apple is taking a direct jab at Amazon, Facebook and Google.

My friend who works at Facebook confirmed they actually buy shopping data from Amazon (and in fact many companies buy your credit card shopping history), and internally Facebook has a tool where you can search someone's name and see their shopping history according to the data collected from Amazon. Of course the tool is monitored and all searches are recorded. My friend only ran the search on himself, but he said it was a little shady that this tool exists.
> because they didn't need to move around as much.

Well, yeah, the comment applied to nomadic people.

Where I live, the coyote population comes and goes, in reverse phase with the population of rabbits and other small creatures. The coyotes hunt till the game gets scarce, then they move on. They don't have a choice. Neither did nomadic people.

> Other dangers and just the toll of harsher environments did much more to lower the life expectancy than ritualized murder of old people.

Of course - not many people lived to be old. Neither scenario entices me to give up civilization for the life of a nomadic tribesman.

But what are you, the nomadic tribesman, going to do with the old man who can't walk when you've got to follow the caribou herd or die of starvation?

Downvote me all you like, but civilization gives us the luxury of choice, ethics, morality, etc. And so I choose civilization, because I don't want to be forced to leave the old people behind.

Of course I can explain it. First, it assumes that learning to do dentistry work requires something extraordinary but the only thing it requires is the resources (time and money) to go to school.

Not everyone who gets through school gets high marks, and of those that get high marks not all of them are necessarily inclined to be good with the tools they use.

I've known of some pretty awful dentists who tended to do as much damage to their patients as they did repairs. I have no reason to believe they'd be any better at making burgers or anything else they attempted to do.

And it takes arrogance to believe that a degree makes you superior to those who don't have one. The truth is it takes longer to become proficient in some skilled labor trades than it does to become a dentist, and it take more actual skills to do the work.

I've never met a dentist who could tear down a small block Chevy engine and rebuild it. Not one. I've never even met one that could change the oil on one, but I've known kids who learned how before they were 12 years old.

Finally, some of the most brilliant people in history, some of the greatest engineers, designers, and inventors, are people who spent very little time in school and none at all in any kind of higher education.

If you think everyone who's making your burgers is less intelligent, less capable, less creative, than yourself you are an arrogant fool.

> And I'm annoyed that Apple basically forced me to buy a new phone a year or two earlier than I wanted to by crippling my old one with broken software

Isn't that basically their business model?
Did already everyone forgot the case where Apple insisted on the truth that they don't track you and a few weeks later one found a hidden file on the phone with the tracking info since it was bought? Apple told us that it was a mistake and removed every evidence with the next ios update.
The only real privacy one can get is by not using apple, Android, Google, Facebook and so on. The others have to judge the tradeoff of having a powerful device vs. leaked privacy and being the product, not the customer.
The other issue is that many of the "boom" prices are based on the spot market price, but the majority of these commodities are actually negotiated through long term contracts that have a steadier income, but much fewer highs and lows. Which is why a multi-year drop can be especially hard for producers, since that's the price that often gets locked in for several seasons.
This is certainly an interesting marketing angle and something that will differentiate Apple from competition. Moreover google guys cannot make this claim as their entire model is based on selling user data. I hope this brings privacy concerns into the consciousness of larger public. I also don't know if the commitment of Apple is beyond just marketing, will it be able to make the same claim in China? Maybe currently this is just a western thing.

Shazam has always been a pretty amazing product, especially when you consider that it was first released nearly 20 years ago. It has also been fairly poorly understood, so I am glad that people are taking the time to revisit and review the technology behind it.

Users are stupid. iOS clearly asks you to allow the Camera app to access location, explaining it’s to tag photos.
I've been running into a similar issue with the HandOff stuff (or whatever it's called). I'll have a chrome tab open on one computer, do the task-switching thing on the other computer which should open the same tab there. Instead I might get a tab I had open earlier, sometimes well over a minute earlier.

Obviously the best solution would be to make the syncing of this seamless, but I'd happily go for a system-wide sync button...
> I just hope the demand gets high enough that other companies start catering to it as well.

Well, it's kind of the business Google is in though — selling your "privacy".

> I guess with wireless charging you can now do so.

Guess that settles that debate then, glad we can put that to rest going forward. (...I realise this sounds weirdly sarcastic?, but it's actually not)
That's exactly the point.

Supporting privacy where it leads to more revenue, and disregarding it completely where it doesn't lead to more money is purely a business decision.

This is simply an example of Google actually providing you with a service in exchange for the information you give them. If your iPhone photos include the same information but they don't give you a (admittedly mediocre, I've never saved one) album which uses that data in exchange, you're not maintaining any more "privacy." You're just not being made aware of how little privacy you have when syncing to a cloud-based service.
Sure, I just didn't want to go as deep as different slicings of spacetime and comparing position-dependent dynamical quantities on a slice of scri+ with quantities on a spacelike slice that you expect to always appear in the same form somewhere in every successor slice.

On that last point, the latter (ADM) always stays the same, doesn't it? In early spacelike slices when the binary system is radiating basically nothing, the quantities you will find in the GWs in later slices are just clustered around the black holes.

Mass in General Relativity will give anyone a headache; I was trying to side-step that without being caught shuffling gravitational radiation off to the source side using pseudotensors. :-)
