The problem is one of probabilities - even the most basic script-kiddie scanners is set up to find your telnet server. Right now there are hundreds, if not thousands, of machines scanning the entire IPv4 space over and over for exactly this kind of silly configuration. If you do something like this it will eventually be found and used.

I'll admit, I used to be the first to update to their latest betas, now I'm terrified to even install the public releases.

They have to do better than this. Having a Twitter user report one of the biggest bugs this decade? That's really weak. Releasing an update that undoes that? Pure amateur hour by the guys we really trust with privacy. Separately, lately they've treated me ridiculously bad (and it's _never_ been like this) at the Apple Store on a failed logic board for my 7 Plus to no fault of my own (saying I was 41 days out of warranty, sorry), so I called Apple Care and they promptly took care of it for me, but should I really have had to jump through all those hoops? Really soured me.

I'm also on 3-month long thread with an iTunes Adviser (hi Grant) trying to convert some damn gift cards from iTunes to Apple Store. The easiest request ever. Now he's just no longer picking up his phone, voicemail, or responding to emails. Can't tell you the frustration involved in this (my dad had accidentally selected Apple iTunes instead of Apple Store when redeeming his Wells Fargo rewards)

Having said all that, I'm still support these guys - why, I don't know anymore. That'll be changing soon, for sure.
Make it a #1 priority, QA test the shit out of it, release a proper fix, apologize and move on.

I woke up to this gem today. For me, Headspace was the culprit. Deleting it allowed me to start the update process. Hopefully that fixes all cases.

The Golden Age of Apple has ended, and looking back, it was truly a Golden Age of personal computing in terms of quality and usability. I moved to a Windows laptop last week; it's o.k. Not terrible. But I'd say MS elevated themselves and Apple stepped back and they've met in the middle to offer us only mediocrity. /rant

I think people are missing the point being made by RyanZAG, in that you are not really fixing the problem of -->childbirth<-- by having mass immigration. Imagine if these new immigrants then a few generations down start also not having a high birthrate, and the problem continuous... It's not about the damn bears...
> I can't even touch the housing market in an area inconvenient to my work without literally hundreds of thousands of dollars in liquidity.

You and the parent agree. guywaffle's comment talks about people who make much less than you and are in the exact same situation. Absolutely true that a high income doesn't make spending 50% of it on housing any better. And someone who makes a smaller amount doesn't even have that option. You're both screwed, just in different degrees.

You're implying that only conservative, Christian, Eurocentric values can be considered legitimate "American culture", and that immigrants from other cultures failing to adopt those views and conform to those principles are corrupting that culture. This despite, and perhaps in spite of, the changing demographics of the country over time.

I would argue, rather, that American culture isn't under attack. It's merely changing with the beliefs and ideals of newer generations, both native and immigrant. That's perfectly normal, as culture isn't and shouldn't be static, nor should it serve to maintain the status quo of power for any particular race, religion or political ideology.

Throwing more people at a software problem isn't a viable solution to meet a deadline.

Obviously there is benefit to adding more people, it's just that that benefit takes time to offset the cost of onboarding.

Communication does place an upper limit on the number of people who can work on a specific project, and later the total number of projects that can interact.

Something exploratory like what what the GP was suggesting doesn't require huge teams or a lot of interaction between teams, at least until the problems are identified and need to actually be resolved.

RE: converting iTunes gift cards to Apple store cards.

I’ve never heard of anyone being able to do this, iTunes gift cards can very easily be obtained for +20% off of face value and the same cannot be said for Apple store cards.
No it's not. Some parts of a phone book search resemble a binary search, but choosing your pivot and processing the last few pages do not. I've never seen someone not do a linear scan at some point.

But all that's irrelevant to my point. Asking for a bog-standard solution to an industry-standard question is in no way a demonstration of someone's originality. You don't ask it to prove that they aren't doing "mimicry" you ask it to prove that they can, and thus are capable of learning the basic tools of their trade from others.
"The win here is that they achieved this while being very underprivileged."

Do we know that?

I have some experience in this area, I don't live in a "privileged" country, and I find there is at least some truth to the adage "Aid, is poor people in rich countries, giving to rich people in poor countries".

Good for them they've achieved this, whether they were privileged, assisted (because they were underprivileged?), untouchables from broken families, or whatever, or not, but let's not jump to conclusions about the actual backstory.

I don't need the latest version. Offline maps and Wikipedia, contacts, calendars, music and notes that sync over USB are enough for me.

Facebook and LINE are ok, although LINE keeps threatening to discontinue support. Frankly though, it's their loss - when WhatsApp stopped working then I didn't notice, I just use Facebook instead. Skype and iMessage also exist, although I don't use them much. What am I missing on a newer phone?
Tractors. When my wife's grandfather was born in the early 20th century a family farm in north central Iowa was limited to about 160 acres or a 1/4 section. So each section could have four family farms and a Township with ~50% agricultural utilization might have 300 farm families in the township and some people living in town. That's about a 1000 people.

Today a family farm there is about 1200 acres. That's 1/7 the rural density. The economic catchment for the town no longer has enough customers to support the businesses it once did...and that all happened before Amazon and UPS and Walmart thirty miles away and Costco up in Minneapolis and cars got faster and safer and roads got better.

Dave, I'm losing my mind. $600 worth of iTunes Music gift cards, and my dad doesn't have an iTunes account.

It was the most honest mistake ever, but we're paying the price for it. Sent them all the documentation involved (including everything from WF). It's just converting money from one card to another, they _can_ do it, but they don't want to.
I'm very sympathetic to that line of argument, I'm no fan of capitalism, but choosing the default settings for something like Slack (whether you are selling it in order to make a profit or not) appears to me to be a tradeoff between making it immediately useful, and obvious to non-nerds why it is useful, and being less attention-grabbing when your team gets a bit more unwieldy. I've no doubt there's more they could do and more care they could take, but Slack do publicise the customisations you can make.

(In an ideal world of course we'd be using a chat system that has a great user experience, is based on open standards, _and_ is somehow easy to deploy... but within our current economic system that is clearly a tricky one.)
What "outdated design and hardware"?

The Macbook Pro is the best laptop out there as a power/battery life/build quality combo (having to spend for a "dongle" or new USB-C cables is not a technical concern for its technical capacity).

The iPhone X is top notch (pun intended) and has been praised in reviews all around the world. The AirPods have been described as mostly magical by their users (I'd add to that).

The Apple Watch is the best in its kind technologically, and has overtaken the #1 traditional watch maker in sales (and moves more units than competitive smart-watches). It's the only one that was deemed most accurate in its health measurements (heart, etc) from all smartwatches too in competitive tests.

The iPad continues to be the best tablet technology wise.

So?
Theoretically yes. But the utility simply is not there.
I think you have a very limited understanding of the state of software security in general if you think that is true.

Bugs far worse than this are discovered on a weekly basis. This one is just easy to exploit so it’s been hyped up by people who would normally ignore slightly more technical descriptions of much worse vulnerabilities.
The transition to APFS also went flawlessly, above and beyond anyone's expectations.

But 10.13.1 has been out for a while, the root issue only resurfaces if you upgrade from 10.13 -> 10.13.1 after the patch is automatically installed.
Security for what purpose? My iTunes account isn't tied to a bank account or credit card. My contact list isn't that valuable. I don't have anything worth stealing.

My security was compromised when I jailbroke my phone in order to install lots of tweaks (I've had the swipe up gesture as a home button, like the new iPhone X, for years). In that time, I've not missed the lack of security, and I have benefitted from the local offline backups that aren't encrypted.

This is the result of Apple trying to become a "fashionable products company" instead of a "premium products company".

Absolutely. Like what does "Pro" mean in Apple-speak right now? A workhorse for serious professionals who earn their living with their tools, or the luxury version of the regular consumer version? There's a TV ad in the UK that says the Macbook Pro would be perfect for a first-year undergrad... That's not who I'd imagine a real "Pro" product was aimed at.
It is also the case that marginal farmland can support a small subsistence farmer but be uneconomical for incorporation into large-scale agriculture. Such land will usually end up as woodland/scrub or grazing land over time.

This is something I'm introducing in my company. Teams sticking to dates for releases for no apparent reason other than it's the date scheduled makes zero sense.
Well, it is a highly political topic.

And I found no article yet, with technical details, about what they technically actual accomplished. The Reuters article is especially lacking any information, except stating that they succeded technically, but faced problems at the US border before and the latter they repeated many times, not just one quote.

So it looks a bit missleading and I would not call it journalism, if there is a agenda with it. And this seems to be the case here - directed against Trump and his Afghan ban etc.policy.

I mean sure, personally I despise that as well and I am highly against restricting people from going somewhere else, just because of their origin. And the girls are definitely courageous(their captains dad was killed by a suicide bombing this year) and maybe even did an outstanding job given their bad starting conditions ...
but I saw nothing convincing so far, like the article implys, that they build even remotely something like this:

"The team’s winning entry was a solar-powered robot that would help small farmers carry out tasks including seeding and cutting crops like wheat "

I read something about designing flyers, etc. for this product, which sounds more plausible - as designing an actual robot, even only with lego, who does remotely, what the quote says, is huge work and not doable with access to good education.
Which they don't have. So yes, I think they deserve praise for doing something while coming from where they are, but if news imply to me they did more, than they did(and possibly could do), for political reasons, even with good intentions, you could call it propaganda. And I think this is not helping.

As then also people like me, who have lot's of sympathy for disadvantaged people at tech - and beeing a girl from Afghanistan is probably as disadvantaged as you can get, get the impression, that they mainly won their price because of being who they are and not what they did.
And this is a shame, because maybe they are even technically very gifted and did outstanding. But now I mistrust the whole thing ... and possibly also the next thing I hear from high tech girls from Afghanistan ...

Bugs like this are discovered regularly. If you are “freaking out” about this it is solely because you have not been paying attention before.

17+ years later, and 10000 articles about how Macs aren't really immune to viruses (duh), OS X/macOS still doesn't have any virus outbreak that wasn't actually a trojan in fact, that at worst affected only like 1% of the user base or less.

Windows had actual viruses affect tons of people regularly.
Thanks for your insight. It really resonates with me.

I think you're very right about my marketing problem :)

On the surface, my website is kinda out there. I built it from the ground up using Rake and some gems as a static site generator. I think it's very cool, and I don't expect that many people will appreciate it, but I'm hoping that one day someone comes along and says "wow, that's pretty cool, wanna help us with this Ruby thing?")

In a deeper way, this whole discussion is very helpful... it's giving me a fresh perspective on how to frame conversations with future potential employers.

And actually the other day I had an epiphany about my marketing. Sure, I chose an odd path, but I've already done so much of the work! I just need to get my random little open source tools in decent, usable shape so that people who'd find them useful might actually get a chance to use them. I need to get my half done work finished and make tutorials about it and get myself out there.

This came after I got a call from a contracting company who told me they were bidding on an interesting job that might be a good fit for me... I was so excited that I stayed up all night and finished like three old random projects at the same time, just so I could put more stuff on my portfolio. It was a wakeup call, affirming that there actually just might be some cool work out there after all... so get your shit together!
Additionally, if this is indeed the case, randomization is irrelevant if you are actually connecting to their Wi-Fi.
