> the court decision states. “PCKompaniet has never removed the coverup of the Apple logo on the screens that have been imported and has no interest in doing so. PCKompaniet does not pretend or market itself as Apple authorized and does not give any indication that the repair comes with an Apple warranty.”

You are incorrect. The Apple logos were covered up and the court findings state that they were never uncovered. I didn't see anywhere in this article where they say the owner was making claims about using genuine Apple parts.

But I do agree, it seems the right to repair stuff is not great. Repair whatever you want but don't force Apple to help you.

Thanks for your input, I think you're right – it's deliberate, but seems like a pretty wasteful use of DNS TXT to me. Every SPF lookup is dragging that much bigger record with it too and it serves no real purpose for anyone other than the administrators of the example.com zone. It seems like a strange thing to put in this zone particularly because it's used in so many examples.

Please provide documentation for this. The only one I know if where they detected degrading batteries that would cause sudden shutdowns, and (without telling people) throttled the CPU to prevent the sudden spike of power draw that was causing the shutdowns.

There are a lot of assumptions in this statement.

1. You assume those people are proficient in English.

2. You assume those people can operate a smartphone or a computer, let alone go search for news.

3. You assume they will immediately discard scammy stories as fake. True story: yesterday, a relative of mine sent me a story about keeping her Facebook's account free by sending a certain SMS to 10 other people in her contact book. It took me 5 minutes to explain to her this was obviously a scam, and yet she wasn't totally convinced, because by her words "a lot of her friends sent her the same SMS".

4. You assume people have financial knowledge about investment or basic understanding of risk and return. Remember, in Vietnam there's no concept of 401k or IRA, and most people never invest before.

5. You assume people have college degree. In fact, many victims didn't finish high school or even middle school. Despite all the news, a large population of Vietnam still lacks college education.
My Dell laptop constantly used to tell me I was using a non-Dell battery (falsely). So I think there are probably quite a few instances of electronics having ways of detecting aftermarket parts, and there might well be automotive examples. I suspect printers that detect authentic ink cartridges exist. Wouldn't bet that it hasn't been done in the automotive realm.

> This is the model many rich country healthcare runs on, and provides measurably better outcomes for less expenditure than the US.

well I'm living in Germany and I agree with that it is cheaper, but "better outcomes"? I do not think so.

I mean in Germany treating Diabetes means taking Insulin for a life long. However newer studies, actually found out that a treatment where the patient should be dieting and starts to do more sport can actually reduce the needed insulin dose or patients can even completely dismiss insulin or are cured from it completely in rare cases.
(not a lot of doctors would actually help the patient or even tell them that this would be beneficial to them, hell not even the public health care sector cares)

However the thing is if you can sell Insulin for a life long to somebody who will probably die earlier you make a profit. On multiple fronts. Treating it means that once the person is cured, he will probably live longer, will have less problems and will probably cost the overall system less (but that's not something that should happen).

So basically in "richer" countries the system is equal to the US, it's just more hidden. care system and government are systems that benefit from each other if patients take treatments over a long time and probably have a reduced life-time. i.e. treatment > healing, at least from a business perspective.
Living Room: Making RC Programmable
> The crackdown is part of broader and long-running attempts by Silicon Valley technology companies to track and limit what information their employees share publicly

The contrast between the aggressive privacy of companies (and government) and the non-existent privacy of individuals is shocking. Apple claims to have people arrested for violating its privacy; practically, I have no power - they can take almost whatever they want and do whatever they want with it, and there's nothing I can do.

In fact, the complete lack of privacy by individuals may the means by which companies find who released the information.

Finally, these moves are counter to an open society. In an open society, it's the powerful people and public institutions who need to be transparent - they are the threats to democracy and liberty - not the everyday private citizens.
I think you are misrepresenting dpkonofa's position. I believe his position is that Apple shouldn't be forced to assist with your repairs by producing manuals and parts. That isn't the same as "why don't they just become Apple authorized repair shops?"
I recommend reading his pieces on transactional state machines that is linked in the article. I believe that a lot of it is adopted at stripe currently.
There is a pretty significant difference between the expectations of a GameBoy screen, in which your focusing your fovea on the screen, and a visual projection in AR. The biggest issue with narrow FOV in this case is AR strives to make items appear as if they are in the real world. The moment you slightly turn your head and item is clipped by the projected FOV, yet you can still see the real world where the AR item "was", breaks the immersive illusion.

With VR, even a narrow FOV doesn't have this problem: As you rotate your head and a virtual item moves out of the FOV, it's simply clipped into blackness... no visual dissonance as you have with AR item vs. real world it lives within.

Edit to address the article: I think the fixed IPD is the real deal-breaker here. People have greatly varied IPDs. Some VR HMDs, such as the Oculus Rift, have a physical IPD adjustent. I don't see why the ML headset couldn't have this feature in the consumer version as well, though.

"Badly written laws in reaction to Cambridge Analytica could end up solidifying Facebook's dominance, as only a company with their resources could comply."

Without examples, it is difficult to understand what the author is trying to communicate with this statement. Is it too vague?

Hypothetically, if a user was provided with a software program that allowed her computers to form separate and distinct peer-to-peer "social networks" with small groups of family, friends or colleagues without any assistance from a third party website such as Facebook, would the "badly written laws" affect this type of competition?

Should we assume that the only competition for Facebook could come from another website that resembles it, both in size and architecture? Will users ever grow tired of the limitations and negative side effects of the centralised, web-based, third party-managed "social network" styled after Facebook?

Are the privacy issues that Facebook must contend with due, at least in part, to the architecture of their "network", viz. aggregating millions of small social groups together in a single website where they can be more easily targeted by advertisers.

What if, instead of millions of small social groups managed by one website company (Facebook), these groups were each independently managed by the members themselves, having no centralised path for advertisers nor "bad actors" to reach them.

It's not simply the size of the display device, it's the optics of getting the image to your eye, at a distance (virtual or real) you can focus on and clear throughout the whole FOV. A few hours strugglng with Zemax will convince you it's a Hard Problem.
The current/near future of augmented reality is mainly about preparing for the future of AR, and the future of AR is full-FOV devices that you wear all the time to seamlessly integrate data with the world around you.

As it is, a tiny FOV drastically changes the experience and the possibilities of the equipment. It could also mask issues that are only apparent at higher FOVs (like lagging overlays causing motion sickness). They've managed to make one of the smaller and sleeker AR devices, which will be important for mass adoption, but based on the current state of the tech it's probably putting the cart before the horse.

At this point I'd rather work on a tethered and bulky system with a massive FOV like Leap Motion's Project North Star, as it more closely matches the capabilities (but not form factor) of what we should expect from the first mass market AR devices.

Wall Street is all about money, pursuit of money as a form of power, manipulation of money as an intellectual game abstracted away from its effects on the real world - or so goes the image of "Wall Street" as it exists in terms of having a bias against working there, or in businesses which have a similar mindset.

Personally, it sounds unbearable, since money is just about the most boring topic I can imagine, done to death for centuries already; I'd rather watch paint dry.

When the topic of "great" developers comes up, I always challenge anyone to define precisely, in quantifiable terms, what a "great developer" is exactly.

How do you know someone is a "great developer" if you can't, in tangible terms, say exactly what a "great developer" is?

This is even more of an issue when recruiting because recruiting is an assessment process to determine if someone meets some requirement. But just like software testing, if you can't quantify the requirement, then you can't quantify a test to determine if someone meets that requirement, and therefore the interview/assessment process is simply voodoo recruiting.

Voodoo recruiting is when you have the appearance of scientific process in recruiting. - a process, - a set of questions that appear good, - a coding test that seems technical enough that it must be telling you something meaningful about the candidate, - the opinions of many people on the candidate. But in fact all of this is voodoo because you still can't directly define the requirement and thus you never known if you ever found what you are looking for, which is not actually known.

The final decision in recruiting a "great developer", as always, comes down to some subjective opinion based on a range of criteria that can't be proven to have had any meaning in the first place.

Employers can already request that potential employees hand in a certificate from the authorities that they have no relevant convictions in Germany. (Führungszeugnis) All convictions past a statutory limit are not listed. There’s an extended version for especially sensitive positions (working with children, security sensitive positions,...) that lists convictions that are no longer part of the normal official limit.

That’s truly enough for employers.
Yeah I can't find anything either, good fact-checking. Hopefully just a misspelled name.

> If felons were truly forgiven, they would have their right to vote restored.

This is a very US-centric attitude and very undemocratic in my view.

In Germany, for example, people in jail are generally allowed to vote. They could even set up a voting booth inside the jail if there were demand. However, there usually isn't and inmates vote by mail.

In the last 25 years, only 80 people, who were found guilty of treason, have lost the right to vote.

However, people whose sentence is at least a year in jail are excluded from running for office for 5 years.

> Society has never perceived jail time as truly resetting the scarlet letter back to zero.

Some jobs here require a so-called "certificate of conduct" which you can get from the police and which lists criminal convictions. The entries in this certificate expire after a certain number of years, depending on the the crime. The maximum time a conviction can be in the record is 10 years after it has been served. Afterwards, it's deleted. (It is not deleted from police records but from what a company could find out in a background check by going through official channels.)

No no no. No more.
No more isms.

Here's the problem with web design: Nobody actually designs anything. They mindlessly copy the look of things, without giving thought to how things actually work. Examples:

1. Apple made the first iOS have references to real world items (the dropdown menus looked like rolling dials.) Makes sense because touch mobile interfaces were new, and the references gave users a clue how to interact with them. The takeaway for hack designers was to cover everything in fake wood and leather textures.

2. Some designers rightly avoided this trend, and made designs with less references to physical textures. Hack designers declared this the "flat design" trend, and proceeded to strip as much depth from their designs as possible. Now buttons were just squares, with no indication whether they could be pressed or not. There were no borders to break up featureless blobs of content. Icons were redesigned to be as minimal and abstract as possible, to the point where you couldn't tell what the icon was supposed to be.

3. Google created their own design guidelines (material design) that tried to keep the flat look while adding back some much needed affordance by way of slight shadows and animations. Hack designers mistook material design for a new trend, and made their own copy cat interfaces. A style intended to give one company a visual identity, in the hands of poor designers, made every company have the same identity.

The same thing keeps happening. It will happen to web brutalism (whatever that is.)

It won't change until web designers and the people who hire them start seeing the role of designers differently.
