Not sure if this is new in the ios world, but I discovered this 'feature' in Android years ago. Turns out Beacon Requests are very important to location services, especially where gps doesn't work (like in any indoor location).
No, not "as opposed to." This is a completely bogus line of argument, even if the "opposing" behavior is equally bad.
I think you're conflating the two. Take, for example, the word "election". If the word "election" can mean both an election, and a not-election – of the sort experienced in the USSR – then how do you describe the election you want to have? The word is meaningless, and thus it throws the very concept into doubt. This has nothing to do with Sapir-Whorf, which isn't really a strong proposition anyway. You have a concept, but when I use the word that describes the concept, I could be describing the concept or the not-concept.

As an older millennial, that feels more like a (beneficial) return to the past, where "On the Internet nobody knows you're a dog."

IMO the real issue isn't privacy controls per se, but the ability to keep disconnected identities. For example, I might not really care if a photo is visible to everybody, as long as it has no clues (location metadata, facial recognition, etc.) that allow someone to link it to my public persona.

Imzy tried that. It went quite poorly.

It's possible that with different moderation, notifications, blocking, and post mechanics this might have been less of a problem. But the site's design and architecture more or less perfectly amplified everything that could possibly go wrong with the concept.

It died in less than a year after going public. I'd anticipated it wouldn't go well, but that it failed that hard and fast surprised me.

This has bugged me too since upgrading to iOS 11. I understand the motivation for the change, but it was not necessary to make the UI misleading. It should very clearly indicate between "off" and "off-ish," and allow switching to a true off state, perhaps by long-pressing the icon to get additional options, like how several other control center panels work.
make sure you report it on the forum post with details like OS, screen resolution and theme, and it might get a quick fix - I've seen it happen before for other dev build bugs :)

The ssh man page is truly awful. I managed to read through it multiple times without finding the functionality I wanted, even devoting special attention to a section that turned out, later, to be purportedly "documenting" exactly that functionality.
This change would be absolutely fine to me if it were communicated to the user in any way whatsoever. The fact that I can upgrade and have no idea the behaviour unless I happen to read an EFF blogpost in the few hours it appears on HN isn't acceptable.

Note how they even use privacy as one of the main (at least, in my opinion) selling point for Apple devices[0] ("Every Apple product is designed from the ground up to protect that information.").

How are people so niave as to not understand that such a broad concept like "neutrality" can easily be abused? Legislation is slow to change and adapt as is, you want to give government further power to apply law to an industry which has already been captured? Never mind the quickness with which tech like the internet changes.

I feel like I'm the only sane person on HN. How are people so oblivious to the downsides of broad, sweeping regulation?
Awesome investigation!

I should have explained this better: the vault is not to keep the private key safe from home intruders, it’s to keep the key safe from loss and fire and anyone that might compromise my CA machine. It acts as an air gap of sorts.

Once in a blue moon when the intermediate cert expires, I pull out the QR code and scan it and convert it to a PEM on a burner laptop, VM, or phone. There I generate a new intermediate and securely delete the root PEM file and put the QR back in the vault. Then I copy the inermediate off the burner machine and go about my business.

> No.

Yes.

It's not just because people forget to turn Wi-Fi back on.

Radios are "off-ish" because they remain on for other Apple devices and services, but off for other uses.

What actually happens in iOS 11 when you toggle your quick settings to "off" is that the phone will disconnect from Wi-Fi networks and some devices, but remain on for Apple services.

Location Services is still enabled, Apple devices (like Apple Watch and Pencil) stay connected, and services such as Handoff and Instant Hotspot stay on.
> How can you both agree that a clear line doesn't exist, while in the same sentence saying "obviously wrong"?

Regarding moral relativism, I don't buy it, but that's not something we can argue about in an HN thread...

You are right that pure moral arguments don't change anything, but I don't think the reason is that people don't share morals, but rather have to do with people being extremely good at rationalizing away the immorality, or never questioning it in the first place. Of course, if you think ethics is a relative concept then this reply won't convince you but the argument that might convince you would not fit this format.
When writers and academics question the limits of language, it is invariably an exercise that grows from a desire to bring more light into the public sphere, to arrive at a shared reality that is more nuanced than it was yesterday.

Ask HN: Equity in exchange for clients
I founded a company 14 months ago in an industry where it is peculiarly difficult and time consuming to break through.

An established, relatively large business in the same industry has been monitoring my progress.

Today I receive a phone call with an offer: 40% equity of your company in exchange of clients — no money (save a nominal value to ensure compliance).

My immediate reaction is “no” — they are asking me to give out almost half of my company for no money, and essentially become a manager of a now-subsidiary of their business, with all the hassle and none of the benefits that an employee of that business would receive if he or she were a manager. I fee they are approaching me at my weakest because they know I’m desperate to break through.

On the other hand, it could mean guaranteed business and possibility of growth, albeit losing much of my autonomy and decision making: working hard for someone else’s dream.

Have you had a similar situation? What are your thoughts?
It IS communicated.

If you just pull up control center and tap the button is says “Disconnected from ‘WiFiNetwork’”.

If you expand the panel with 3D Touch or a long press under the WiFi icon it either says WiFiName or Not Connected.

On the other hand the cellular radio says Off if you toggle it.

This isn’t completely hidden. The information is there. And I agree with the other posters that this is a far better setting considering how many people have run up ridiculous cellular bills because of bad Wi-Fi and forgetting about the setting.

At this point I’m not sure there’s a need for normal users to actually turn off Wi-Fi. The only real case would be something like airplane mode which already has its own setting.
Are you equating "spy with experience on the topic making a statement in connection with a leaked document" with "fuckheads on the internet masturbate about how smart they are, spew out nonesense"?

There isn't equal weight behind those two kinda of "people saying things". One of those actually is news worthy and should be investigated.

And you're stupid of you think there isn't a difference. Your entire post is like those kids in math class who apply random formulas without a plan -- you're repeating things you've seen that sounded smart without actually thinking and creating a meaningful point.
Only if you hacked into the service provider’s network. But if you are a third party, you’ll likely MITM through one of the roaming protocols or directly on the handset, either of which might give some indication.

I can say I would not want to live in a society that "accommodates" the needs of rapists, murderers, child molesters as well as the various petty criminals.

Thanks for sharing all of these tools! Do you happen to know if any of these can write metadata to mp4 or mov files that will be recognized by Mac/iOS Photos?

I've been trying to write location, camera, date, etc. to encoded videos, but Photos won't recognize anything except files straight off an iPhone. The closest thing I've found is that ffmpeg can write Quicktime tags and the structure looks identical to me when I view it in exiftool, but Photos still doesn't respect it, so I assume there's some minute difference that breaks Photos' parsing.
How is this not a more popular story on HN? This seems like huge news to me.
I have spent time messing with developing Android on Android devices(not so much Chromebooks) and despite the fact that there are several ways you could go about doing this from my experience the only option is to boot into a proper Linux distribution. I mostly messed with running developing Android Apps on Android itself and basically the Linux emulators that run inside of Android never work consistently for me. Even with root the Java APIs are not fully ported last time I tried to develop an Android application on an Android device.
See my other post in this thread, it is communicated.

It’s definitely settle. But it is there.
Soups seem to be pretty common in the winter. One time I had a hot corn soup from a vending machine somewhere out in the mountains.

> It is in an attempt to resolve the real loss of money experienced by everyday users who turn off WiFi when it’s flakey and then forget to turn it back on, costing them cash on their cellular data plan

Is there a source for this, or is this your opinion?
> I wonder what particular cultural elements make vending machines seem so successful in Japan, but not as much in the US

Mostly a lack of, for a better term, conformity. There is very little crime in Japan and people trust each other way more.

In the US, those vending machines would get vandalized and probably stripped of their metal in under a week. Even if there was a market demand for them, the cost to service those machines would be astronomical.
> It is in an attempt to resolve the real loss of money experienced by everyday users who turn off WiFi when it’s flakey and then forget to turn it back on, costing them cash on their cellular data plan.

Is the solution here not simply to turn off mobile data when you don’t want to use it, if you’re on such a restrictive mobile plan?

The fact is, the behaviour changed in a way that wasn’t made clear at all. That WiFi will reconnect by itself after being off for a period is a security and privacy issue, and is a frustrating change.

Hiding things behind 3D Touch is not very intuitive or user friendly. What was once a toggle - on or off - is now a three state option where one of the stares can only be accessed from the settings app.
If that counts as communicating changes, it seems a bit Hitchhiker's to me. No user should be expected to notice and figure out the changed behavior for something they do that takes half a second, based on that 'communication'.

I also loved the article. However, I thought that he was too hard on Trump, in his dissection of that interview. I'm certainly no Trump supporter. And yet, his comments about the missiles in Syria struck me as honestly reflective. Trump does bullshit a lot, and it's easy to make fun of him. But that's arguably more honest than typical Presidential rhetoric.
Yes, when I lived in Germany I heard "Leiter" a lot when I expected "Führer". To me it sounds like it should mean "conductor".

Can real German speakers tell me if "Leiter" was always a very common word for this usage or merely a not-unreasonable word that won out post-war because it happens to be a bit like the English word? (In fact I suspect they are cognate, maybe that's why electrical conductors are sometimes called "leads").
First they offer to buy it.

If you aren’t insane you sell it.

If you think you can beat the big three you probably deserve to be crushed.
It's a mathematical reality, in the context of opportunity. Pretending it's some assertion of future-proofed knowledge is silly.
In other words, the WiFi actually has 3 states: Off, Idle/disassociated/disconnected, and Connected/Associated. Most people have experienced all 3 states, but it seems Apple is under the impression that users are too stupid to know the difference between them...

The Wi-Fi will turn back full-on if you drive or walk to a new location. And both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth will turn back on at 5:00 AM. This is not clearly explained to users, nor left to them to choose, which makes security-aware users vulnerable as well.

Why 5:00 AM, and why only WiFi when location changes (and how far must the location change? That is not mentioned even on the Apple support page)? This set of conditions reminds me of the decisions taken by aircraft automation systems --- read how the Boeing autothrottle works, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autothrottle#Usage

Of course, the majority of iOS users have nowhere near that ability to memorise how this "automatic wireless control" works, so Apple doesn't bother to make the explanation prominent; which brings me to the next point: Apple products aren't designed for you. They're designed for the user Apple wants, and by not giving any choices to change the behaviour, Apple is gradually "creating an average user" by forcing them into compliance and causing the rest to a different platform.

To continue the analogy, Apple's design has all the complexity of aircraft automation, and works well for the ideal use case, but none of the transparency and predictability, nor the ability to turn it all off and "fly manually" when it fails.

Also, the original item on HN about this, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15297387 , was rather ironically accompanied by this one submitted around roughly the same time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15299165

The security aspect is not just a theoretical one.
This kind of abuse is pretty quintessentially capitalistic. It is exploiting the weak for no reason but to make money - no ideology underpins it but the bottom line. You might find a similar story in China now that it is economically capitalist, but the horror of North Korea is of an entirely different character.

Yes, and arguably to every revolution.

Some were good, some were bad, and some were epically bad.
I hate this. I have a ton of wifi hotspots setup in the city, some of them require authentication, some of them don't. I leave work, mount my phone on my bike, "turn off" WiFi and cycle before realizing that nothing (like maps) is updating because I connected to a wifi point that needs authentication, or a point that is now far away because I already cycled by.

While cycling, I reach to my phone and switch it "off" again just to be again connected to some other access point at the next crossing.

I really hope for a setting in the next version so that off means off again.
As far as I know, there's never been a post-war effort to ban the word "Führer", nor did the Nazis try to remove the ordinary meaning. Heck, calling Hitler "The Leader" was in no way an abuse of language. And yet the word has become uncommon because of a kind of shared embaressment.

Now I think tacon is wrong to think that "news" will go a similar way, but if it can happen to simple and basic words like "leader", then it's a reasonable thing to speculate about.
I just spent a couple of minutes trying to 3D touch to properly disable wifi, then googling how to do this with 3d touch and came up empty.

Either it doesn't work that way, or it's well hidden and appears not great in terms of UX.

Overall, I agree with you though. I'm personally not clear on the utility of turning off just wifi or just bluetooth. I assume (hope) airplane mode turns everything off. But in any other scenario you're still leaking location and other information.
It is interesting to see how this is now suddenly perceived as an issue with iOS 11, while Android already introduced the same behavior with 4.3 in 2013.

The "off" setting these days only indicates that the device will not associate with any WiFi network, but it keeps the radio on for location services.

Without commenting whether this is actually bad for security, articles on the matter should point out that Android phones are doing the same to raise awareness.

Edit: iOS enables WiFi on switching location, but re-enabling WiFi based on known locations is only a new feature of Android 8 Oreo. So for most Android users WiFi will at least not be turned back on automatically yet.
In theory, sure, but I've never seen a competently written -h page.
