> Apple will never force apps to always be notarized...

Apple's website actually says that they will:

"Note that in an upcoming release of macOS, Gatekeeper will require Developer ID signed software to be notarized by Apple."
If the Bloomberg story is true 30 US companies were targeted by this hack, not just Apple or Amazon. Adding in the government agencies as well that’s a huge number of people who must know about this, at least in the hundreds and possibly over a thousand. In addition there must be thousands of these hacked boards all over the place, including discarded faulty and test units, to be found and checked by experts. There’s no way all of them could have been accounted for. Also if the US was hacked this way, what about other countries? There must be evidence all over the place.

For Apple to believe that they could get away with outright bare faced lying about this, they would have to be very confident none of those people across dozens of ogrganisations would either break ranks or mistakenly corroborate the story, and none of the copious physical evidence would ever be found.

The question is, do you believe that’s the sort of risk they are likely to take?
This talk is Yuri Gurevich's answer to Peter Shor's (famous for Shor's algorithm) comment [1] regarding a previous Gurevich work. In that previous work Dershovich and Gurevich prove the Church-Turing thesis formally, using an axiomatisation of what "algorithm" is, which captures the meaning assumed in Church and Turing times.

But Shor complains their axiomatisation does not include probabilistic algoriths, quantum algorithms.

In this talk Gurevich argues that in full generality of the term "algorithm" the thesis can not be true.

Source and roast your own beans, don't overroast the beans, charge a premium over Starbucks for not producing crap coffee from overroasted beans. Starbucks does some impressive work with the candy flavors it adds to distract from their coffee, but...

> there must be another party who stands willing to buy and sell the thing at that pegged rate.

Most stable coins claim there is. For example, Tether claims that they hold equal US dollars for Tethers issued. If true, they would be in a position to be able to buy or sell at the pegged rate and never run out of either dollars or Tethers (since they can be manufactured).
Thanks for the feedback :)

There has always been bogus science, since before there was science. The fact is we know there is a replication crisis. How to we know that? By applying the scientific method to try to replicate results.

The replication crisis is an example of science working the way it is supposed to. It’s scientists using the scientific method to call their colleagues to account. It’s just that it takes time.

There’s nothing wrong with the method itself. Make testable claims. Have other people test them. What the replication crisis tells us is we need to do this more, not that we need to do it less or not at all.
Indeed. Plus don't underestimate the psychological barrier that value can provide.
100$ are a sweet spot: it keeps everyone and their dog from signing up just because ("it's free, I might give it a go"), but at the same time it's not too much for a motivated developer who wants to dabble into programming for the Apple ecosystem of devices.

That's entirely the cultural bias of treating other humans as savage and primitive and not listening to a word they say.
Thank you for posting this. Sometimes it feels like those demanding results expect someone who can create a world overnight or spin gold out of air. It's easy to acknowledge that at some level all professional relationships are adversarial, but when talking to others, there is sometimes the incredulous sense that as co-workers you should make every effort to collaborate and speak as honestly as possible to maximise the quality of the product, but interpersonal politics of personal gain throw that idea down the toilet.

My point is that space travel would have been considered high fantasy aka impossible during previous eras of scientific reasoning.

And yet now we know that it is indeed possible, and are close to achieving it ourselves.

Almost nothing especially random video content on ads makes complex use of audio visual aids that would enhance comprehension.

Its simply the same stuff you would put in an article communicated at a fraction of the speed with less editing for brevity and prose because it's much harder to reorder video or reshoot instead of swapping a few words.

It is probably worthwhile primarily because it makes a stronger emotional connection which is to say its a more effective vehicle to deceive and manipulate you.

If you think videos are better for learning value obtained per minute I would be interested in reading the proof and can certainly keep an open mind but I'm not inclined to value an anecdote.
The ones we didn't burn and the ones we have bothered to actually treat as history rather than random flights of fantasy that humans went to great trouble to document.
A hardware hack like this is extremely easy to verify. If it is indeed true, just produce the hard evidence and be done with it. The fact that they have not been able to do so makes the story just unbelievable.

As for ordered cancellations, my only point was that having five nested blocks is ugly. That may seem to be no big deal, but the goal here is really to get people think in structured way. If the syntactic constructs get into there way (the identation gets my code beyond the right edge of the screen) they are likely to cut corners. E.g. use a single scope. Which could in turn cause problems during shutdown.

As for producer/consumer I think you want to close the producer first, consumer second, rather than do it in undefined order (in parallel). That way you can be sure that there are no unconsumed messages before you shut down.

If you started building in 1882 too, then at some point during that time you'd need to update your agreements with the city.
I think this is about what is required. To get the benefit of being signed (i.e opening without user interaction to get past Gatekeeper) will in the future require being notarised.

So you will still be able to ship an unsigned app, but you won't be able to ship a signed, un-notarised one.
They would cost practically the same as a larger phone but the perception would be that you're getting much less, so few people would buy one even if they say they want one now.
You cannot judge another society's approach to history based on how we treat it.

The presumption of rapidly shifting history in orally transmitted culture is being debunked by this and other works. The shame is that if people would just for a second stop coming from places of assumption like the one you have written, we wouldn't need to wait for research to prove it is worth listening to before trying to learn from it.
I understand your point of view, but from a market standpoint you're a niche of a niche of a niche.

I feel you, because I have the same feeling about many mass produced products. I find that the real problem with phone and electronics is that their nature prevents the development of "artisanal" alternatives, which, market-wise, are the only option that can takle the need of a small pool of users like in your case.
I find myself wondering what other things you consider 'disproven pieces of "common sense"'.
It all depends on your definition of judgment. Of course we all judge, that's how we choose to be with the people who do us good and are pleasant to associate with, and avoid others who are not. (And basically navigate life in a way that is safe and healthy). But it is not a value judgment, just about making good decisions.

But putting people in a hierarchy where some people are better or worse than others (in particular in respect to one self) is IMO rooted in insecurity, it makes us feel good to put ourself in the same box as people we admire and above those we loathe.

Personally I love being with people who are not judgmental (by putting value on people, and yes they exist). And funny thing is that it is contagious, I feel much less like being judgmental when being around those people. The opposite is also true, the easiest people to judge are those who just judged someone, in particular if they judged me.
0. What you're experiencing is "The Big Secret" that no one seems to want to talk about and is completely normal.

1. Your coworkers have clear thoughts not because they're better than you but because they have built months or years of context, situational awareness, and pattern-matching around a particular project, process, or initiative. This precaching of resources allows for faster processing time which you perceive as increased mental clarity.

2. You're scared to ask questions because you think doing so will lead to getting "found out." In my experience, the exact opposite is true. Not only that but most people in meetings do not synthesize everything and yet stay silent. Leave the mental frame of "I don't understand and they'll judge me for it" and adopt one of "I want to make sure I understand this clearly so that we can best move forward as a team" - in fact even preface your questions with the latter. People will respect you for it.

3. People find proactive communication difficult because they assume the nature of the relationship is going to be somehow adversarial in nature, especially when reaching out to people/teams to ask them add more work to their plate. This is the wrong mental frame. When reaching out to people as part of your work, adopt a collaborative mindset of "we're in this together and to work together with Team X we need to merge our realities." All subsequent communication should then focus on both sides articulating the particulars of their individual realities, making a shared one, and establishing a roadmap to work together moving forward.

4. Everything that's happening to you is a form of irradiation that will result in hypergrowth of you as a person and an engineer - if you let it. There's a great book by Carol Dweck about growth mindsets vs fixed mindsets. A fixed mindset perceived your skills and abilities as immutable. A growth mindset recognizes that your skills and abilities are capable of optimization and accepts new input to make it so. Input that induces growth is necessarily painful - if you accept this you will realize that in time YOU will be the grizzled veteran engineer confidently able to articulate thoughts on a complex project and rally the necessary people to execute on it - because you've seen the underlying patterns a million times.

Work on the above over time and you will join a select club of people who no longer have to pretend to be high performers but actually are.
I guess this is the core of why there's no permit.

Typically a permit stipulates that a building should be finished within a certain time. It can probably be prolonged, but I think the project was in hiatus for a long time. Or a couple of times actually.
They didn't measure materialism, and very poorly measured generosity.

They had some of the participants journal what they were grateful for, they paid all the participants, and they suggested that participants make a supposedly anonymous donation of cash to an unknown cause.

Keeping the money is supposedly materialism. No, it is not. Spending the money on frivolous status symbols might be materialism, but that wasn't measured. Keeping the money long-term, or spending it on something of importance, is financially responsible. Giving the money to an unknown cause (might even be an offensive cause) is foolhardy.
Phones started to get too small in the 2000s. I can't remember which phones in particular but some definitely had buttons too small for most people's hands.
I don't see any reason why the Trump administration and the intelligence community would ever want Apple to deny the reports. On the contrary, I think they would love it if Apple/Amazon came out and said that they were hacked so it can give further justification to the trade war and further paint China as a sinister threat to US security.
That works for "us" HN geeks. The consumer market is all about convenience, and the monent the custoners have to go through some hoops a new company will pop up that will do it as a service which they then trust for doing it properly. And while I'm all for decentralizing power, I'd rather have 1 accountable company or a couple of them handle this compared to a bunch of small independent ones consodering they are less auditable and more open to skewing the system. Maybe something like the W3 consortium but we know how that turned out...

I switched to a Note 8 from a Nexus 6P for the stylus.

I probably use it once a month. The input latency and the small size (compared to a notepad) prevents it from replacing the spiral notebook I carry.

I would take this supposed "leak" with a big grain on salt.

AOL sold WinAmp to acompany called Radionomy (back in 2014). For some reason the latter is now aggressively marketing and hyping the "revival" of WinAmp, dropping the llama ass references and otherwise milking the legacy of what stopped being a truly notable player at 2.95 release 15 years ago.
Rewind to the start of the paragraph: "Let \mathbf{x} be a random vector with N dimensions."

You're assumed to already know what a "random vector with N dimensions" is. It's very resonable then to also assume you know what expectations and covariances of random vectors are, and some of their basic properties, such as linearity of expectations and quadratic forms of covariance matrices, since all of these are typically taught in the same course.

You still need some understanding of gpus, but at least you can write your code in Julia rather than CUDA or OpenCL.

Hmm, you’re right. I always figured the non-minimum limits were per term. This Geico policy document I’m reading specifically states it’s per incident.

Ask HN: Trello as a lite CRM for early sales?
Hi all, I'm a software entrepreneur. Type12 is my third SaaS business (one got shut down, one got acquired), and I've always struggled using Trello as a lite CRM to track the first leads and sales (between 0 and 10k MRR).

I'm curious, what are you using to track leads and send cold emails?

I thought that for those that start using Trello to organize leads, would be extremely useful (or at least to me) also being able to send cold emails directly from the Trello sales board.

I just thought I'd productize this into a Trello powers-up: https://umbrello.xyz/

Is anyone here interested in this?

I wanted to chime in and say that I really liked your advice and the way you presented it. It's actionable, comforting, and not at all didactic. :)
Journalistic freedom in the US has allowed American journalists and news organisations to publish a lot of untruths. The hurdle to prosecute for slander and libel is much much higher in the US than many other European countries. We can debate its pros and cons but that's the way it is currently and Michael Bloomberg would not be affected in the slightest even if it turns out the story is all toss.

This is especially so in the current "China threat" political climate in the US. China is essentially a boogieman in the US right now and attacking it has proven to be a great generator of votes for politicians.

Overwhelming is good. One or two points. I’ll DM you on Twitter with a list of RSS feeds that are no longer responsive (I think one has switched to feed burner).

Speaking from experience (lived in Alaska for over 20 years), I would suggest investing in an elliptical. A lot of people make the mistake of slacking on their cardio because lifting gets them to where they want to be physically. IMO you shouldn’t view cardio as exercise for your body, but as relief for your mind. Keep lifting and eating right, but make sure you get in some vigorous cardio (sweat and make yourself run out of breath). I would suggest doing your cardio in the morning before you start your day. When you get to the point where you’re feeling good about yourself, invest in some nice clothes and go show off a little! The attention might help distract you.
Actually, the implication that charging a price makes it more likely you'll buy once the pilot is over is spot on. There's swaths of research, both theoretical and empirical, that supports this. Think sunk costs, change of mindset in the user's mind because they're now a customer rather than some random end-user (it's easier to sell to an existing client, even if the initial sale is symbolic), etc.

Adding a price only makes it less likely that some leads don't move forward with a pilot. Specifically, self-entitled businesses that expect to get the moon for free; organizations that are price sensitive enough that working with them will end up earning you very little or worse; and users without a budget or influence on those who have one. You'll of course lose some potentially good clients along the way as well. A free tier can make good sense sometimes. Most of the other times, more than a few execs will go: "Yes, please! Let's price our less profitable clients out of existence."
This is because the Sagrada Familia is still way from being finished.

It was supposed to be an atonement temple relying on donations of sinners for progress but unfortunately there were not enough sinners in the Barcelona area or these were tight with their money.

Once the huge dome is finished, I’m sure it will play in the same league as ND in Paris.
How do you honestly believe that?
Market is not a feel. Companies with multi-billion dollar revenues invest gazillions into researching the market. They can't afford to come up with a product based on "honestly believing". Then they apply resources to tackle a potential need. As much as I would like that my feelings could overlap with the markets, I'm aware that I'm a niche, and I don't think that judging market choices through the lens of what I'd like can lead to anything but a skewed personal view of a market problem.

The SE was far from a failure not because of the size, but because for the first time it let people into the iPhone realm at a much lower price (without being just an old phone with a lower price). It had the "new" tag on it, although it was basically a product that Apple could generate by mixing up a couple of production lines with much lower assembly costs. By any measurement, the iPhone SE is an old and technically lacking phone with a superior and hyper-sticky software ecosystem. It was also the workhorse of carriers who could sell expensive plans with a lower device subsidization fee.

Apple's marketing is best in class when it comes to framing the complexity of market tactics and vendor-carrier relationships within a simple and clear narrative. The underlying mechanism are still as intricated as they can be.
You could virtualize it and use it as your main. I have not noticed any issues compared to a bare metal install, at least on High Sierra.

Your biggest hurdle is lack of collaboration, as pointed out in your own words.

I’m a semi-freelancer. I have a long term contract with a company , and it’s my first big contract.

As long as you keep learning and are making a positive impact , you’re doing fine. Pretty soon you’ll find yourself too busy to care!
