Yep. Apple moved their keys to be stored locally on state-owned servers, meaning that Apple has given the Chinese government access to Chinese user data. Apple even updated their TOS for it.

Generally trade schools offer a 2 year program in which you take classes and work as an an understudy for alternating periods. e.g. 6 weeks classes, 6 weeks of work. In my state, starting hourly is around $18-20 with increases until you 'graduate' then you work as an apprentice and move up the ranks.

The wages both in school and after are contingent on the trade and state.

2 years is pretty standard, but you get paid while you learn instead of paying for education.

Hmm. Well. I understand where you are coming from, but I don't think it is that 100% that simple. Sometimes a project is 99.99% regex free, but a regex does the exact right thing.

For example, say you're working on a project where homomorphic confusion between characters would be a security concern so the charset is restricted but in certain contexts, say, Japanese is expected. A simple:

japanese = '([\p{Hiragana}\p{Katakana}]+)'

Is all you really need. Concat it with the rest of the strings for the regex and everyone can understand it.

What if all the satellites are off by the same amount?

According to the link posted higher up in the thread, in early 2016 they were all off by 13 microseconds for 12 hours, with no apparent consequences for anything ordinary people use GPS for such as location finding.

To triangulate, I think you need to know (1) where the satellites are, and (2) how far you are from each satellite. I think either absolute distance or relative distance works.

Getting both of these depends on knowing the time. That time comes from the satellites. Let's say they are all off by 1 us. Your time is derived from satellite time. That would mean the time you use to look up/calculate their positions will be off by 1 us from the correct time so you would get the wrong position for the satellites.

A quick Googling says the satellites orbital speed is 14000 km/hr, so using a time off by 1 us to look up/calculate satellite position would give you a position that is about 4 mm off.

The procedure for deriving the time from the satellites would get some extra error from this, but that should be limited to about the time it takes like to travel 4 mm, so we can ignore that. As a result your distance measurements between you and satellites would be off by about 4 mm or less.

The key here is that when all the satellites have the same error, the time you derive has the same error, so your distance calculations should still work, and so you only get an error of about how far satellites move in an interval equal to the time error.

In summary, if all the satellites are off by 1 us, your triangulation seems like it would be about 4 mm more uncertain.

If only one satellite is off, it is going to depend on how the time algorithm works. If the algorithm is such that it ends up with a time much closer to the times of the correct satellites than to the off satellite, then if it calculates the distance from the triangulated position to the expected positions of the satellites, and compares that to the measured distance, it should find that one is off by something on the order of the distance light travels in 1 us, and the others are all pretty close to where they should be. It should then be able to figure out that it has one unreliable satellite it, drop it, and then get the right location.

I have no idea if they actually take those kinds of precautions, though.

The case that would really screw it up would be if several satellites are off, but by different amounts. With enough observation it should be possible in many cases to even straighten that out, but it might be too complicated or too time consuming to be practical. (This is assuming that the error is that the satellites are simply set to the wrong time, but that wrong time is ticking at the right rate).
In the same way every company today wouldn't be able to run without MIT-licensed software, with absolutely zero guarantee of giving anything back, the spirit is that you don't care what others do or not do, all you care about is that content is open by default.

And speaking of that, you can definitely use the same workflow automation to extract anything from Apple's own websites.
yes, that fits better, I could not think of anything suitable :D
The ad model is fundamentally broken, because all roads there eventually lead to tracking and online garbage. Monocultures are bad, so I don't think people should only use Chrome-based browsers. Google once tried to do ads without going down the wrong path, but that clearly hasn't worked out.

I think that Firefox Quantum is a better alternative.

You are probably right. I realize my previous post sounded pessimistic but I was only trying to state my ignorance :)
Innovative features don’t matter if the basic ones I need aren’t present. If Firefox introduced the innovation of tabs[1] but couldn’t render pages, tabs would have been useless.

I wasn’t proposing that implementing AppleScript will shoot up Firefox’s market share, just that until they do, I (and others that care deeply about automation) won’t even look in its general direction as a serious contender to being the main browser.

I think the fundamental is the description of software as an idea.

It is very important to understand, because it helps explains that the essence/idea part of software writing will never be automated and that any repetitive part in software must be automated to make progress.

This is why the concept of software sweat shops/and some bad flavors of pair coding/agile development are stupid, it's all built around systematizing what should have been expressed in higher-order software anyways. They're only effective at still making money for the shop while the market hasn't caught up.

I have no idea where you're going with this, but getting the spec right is very different from actually finding a proof for it. I never said actually finding the proof was always easy. But I will say this for sure: getting the spec right and finding a proof for it are jointly much easier than writing a nontrivial bug-free program without a theorem prover. The success or lack of success of waterfall is not relevant here, as that has very little to do with formal verification; additionally, the success of most software methodologies is not measured solely on whether the end product was correct.
Hell, it's not even clear that prior to a bunch of bloggers calling them out on it that they were going to seek the input of an IRB.
No, it's still AP, it's just CAP consistency is very specific thing and you can't generalize it into "giving up consistency". AP systems don't give up consistency, they just don't explicitly wait for it.

First question I would ask is what kind of business is it, and whether fundraising is necessary. Many times, the answer it is not if you have technical proficiency and/or can gain it on your own, and what your timelines and visions are. Pick 2 of 3 - build it cheap, build it good, or build it expensive. I don't know which ones this "revolutionary idea" falls under, most ideas are worthless anyways including all the shitty ones I have had. Its all pure execution.

I would seek out your local startup / tech incubator and tech meetups in your area as a starting point. Both for building a personal network of people you can rely on. I have lots of fantastic developers I talk to in my city's dev channel, some being among the best in the industry as well. I say hello to the owner of my city's biggest tech incubator, the mayor is a good friend of mine too from nonprofit work I've done. I had a nonexisting network about a few months ago, but show your face enough times people will remember who you are.

You can build a prototype without any technical proficiency. There's lots of off the shelf tools you can just throw wordpress/airtable/zapier/kickstarter etc at it, and see how far you get.

At last! Apple's old APFS docs always had this mysterious note about Fast Directory Sizing:

"You cannot enable Fast Directory Sizing on directories containing files or other directories directly; you must instead first create a new directory, enable fast directory sizing on it, and then move the contents of the existing directory to the new directory."

but there was never any documentation on how to do this, and no Apple engineer would say. The most common internet theory seemed to be that this feature was purely automatic, and all mentions (like this) in the docs were just incredibly misleading.

Now it seems we have an answer, in this flag: "INODE_MAINTAIN_DIR_STATS: The inode tracks the size of all of its children."
Honestly at this point I wonder how much there is between what US agents can do with a FISA warrant and what Chinese agents can do with their surveillance - if there is a difference it’ll be pretty small I imagine.

I’m not trying to justify Dragonfly but just pointing out that tech companies are being pushed into more censorship and tracking by governments all over the world.
Censorship is a government action. When people and private companies do it, it's called filtering. There's a world of difference between an individual or company having control over data vs. a government. People and companies with heavy influence can mess things up a quite a bit, sure, but they can't arrest, imprison, sentence or put anyone to death.
Having .bind inside a JSX prop also creates a new anonymous function on each render.

To avoid it, you can do (sorry for bad formatting):

class Thing extends React.Component {
handleClick = (thingId) => {
this.setState(/*stuff*/);
}
render() {
return <div>{things.map(thing => <Thing onClick=
{this.handleClick} />)}</div>
}
}

You can also bind handleClick inside the constructor without the arrow.

constructor(...args) {
super(...args);
this.handleClick = this._handleClick.bind(this);
}
_handleClick(thing) {
// stuff
}

Depends on the eye.

I just happen to have some objects from my early childhood, and late teens. I now keep them just for an aging reference.

Until about age 20, I could focus right up to roughly an inch away from my eyes. However, at moderate distances, comparable to some phone viewing, there are features on those objects I know well and could resolve then which take a lens now.

Used to judge quality of LCD displays by the ratio of pixel to space between with naked eye into my early 30s.

Hard to do today. And for me specifically, because of those references, I know about how much harder, or if impossible without a lens.

My point here is I believe many younger people will appreciate 720p plus on modern phone displays. I know I would have.
I don't live in Seattle, I feel reasonably well treated. I do hate that they are spending so much public money on the baseball stadium, but that's not making me feel that terrible. I used to live in unincorporated king county - did you know that there are tons of places that have septic tanks, even well settled neighborhoods have them, because they didn't extend the county sewer lines that far.

On your second article, I'm not sure what your point is about the tribes vs Washington state.
For false additional security. More than that, it makes the password effectively useless, considering how easy is to peep when user is entering it, especially when it happened at random so the probability the user happened to be at some public place at that time is high.

If you don't like yourself, and you assume that others would be rational in not liking you as well, it is very easy to project those feelings onto them.

I would also rather be alone than have pretend relationships. But make sure you really know what is happening. Because projecting your self hate is a much more common problem than being surrounded by actors.

In fact if you already know that you dislike your self, it is almost certainly what is going on.

One thing that this list of prescriptions would probably contain if this were written today is: write tests. This lets you make a lot of classes of change without actually having to hold the whole thing in your head. You can make an educated guess as to what needs to change, write a test for it, and confirm that you made the right change. More importantly, if the tests you wrote months ago are complete enough, you can be confident that your recent changes didn't fuck up anything up that you didn't intend.

> You can't generalize this to all Americans, as it largely seems to be localized to the Baby Boomer generation, who were responsible for roughly 2/3rds of automobile sales in 2011.

You mean the largest and wealthiest demographic bought the most cars during one of the worst economic recessions where a significant portion of the younger generation had to move back with their parents just to survive?

> There's an Autoweek article[1] that tries to spin this positively, but it basically says that Millennials and Gen-Z are responsible for just 30% of vehicle sales in 2017.

They aren't "spinning" anything. They are just offering data and expectations. As the economy improves and as the younger generation get on better financial footing and as they get older, they'll buy more cars. What's so shocking about that? Even you acknowledge that they went from a 20% market share in 2011 ( a major recession era ) to 30% today. And as millenials get wealthier and as gen-z gets older, common sense and data says that trend will increase.

> Essentially, people ages 18-35 are purchasing less than a third of the vehicles, despite being at a position in their lives where a demand should be at its highest.

How is 18-35 at the age where demand is the highest? You think kids in college need cars?

> Complicating matters, it looks like the market research pointing to millennials essentially purchasing them merely out of pragmatic necessity, to drive to work or cart families around because there are no other options:

As opposed to buying them to hang on your wall as decoration?

> As boomers die off, their economic and political power will wane and we're going to see some pretty dramatic changes to urban and suburban landscapes.

In some matters sure. But certainly not when it comes to cars and most definitely not in the suburban landscape. Even in urban landscapes, like NYC metro area with great public transportation, people still love cars. Come check out the yearly auto show at javits center.
Yeah, but you can be vigilant and still get screwed.

There's a major problem with this. Actions are what decide the values of an individual or a company. Nearly all horrible actions throughout history were certainly rationalized by at least one actor as reasonable and just, if not outright good. I've no doubt that your rationalization is likely similar to the rationalizations that the numerous US companies (IBM, Coke, Ford, Bayer, GM, Chase, etc) used when deciding to aid and support the Nazis.

Of course in hindsight you judge these companies not by their rationalizations, but by their actions. And this is how it should be. Rationalizations or Machiavellianism are ironically myopic. The means (or rationalizations) do not justify the ends. The ends are rarely predictable and often are far different than what we may ever expect. By contrast we live, each and every day, through the direct consequences of the means. Many people find China's actions morally dubious, and Google is now directly engaging in behavior that will, at the minimum, enhance the ability of Chinese authorities to track and 'handle' individuals who run afoul of state interests. These actions are what inform you of Google's values.

When Microsoft was deemed "evil" under Balmer, Google acted like it was a "cool startup which didn't do evil" and used that positive PR to grow as they were seen more "ethical" than the competition. That's why they are held to higher standards today.

Microsoft for instance never claimed they had any sort of moral compass other than the morals of making money.
