Agreed. I was so stoked about that little phone until I realized it was only being sold as a "companion" device.

If they made a small phone like this with a fat battery (not because I'd use it a lot, but because hotspotting takes a fair bit of juice) I'd use it as my main phone.

Then carry something like a Microsoft Surface or convertible Chromebook in my bag, which you can easily whip out if you need to use Google maps or something that favours a bigger screen.

Seems like a no brainer when the traditional laptop category is going more portable with convertible form factors, and tablet are getting even better at productivity. But maybe I'm missing something :\
It sounds like all the beer they distribute is just promotion for their tasting room ;-)

What's needed is a carrier offering which allows you to have a small phone on an account in addition to a big one, at no extra charge. Both ring on the same number, and you can't have independent calls on both at the same time, and there's some limitation to prevent using both for major data at the same time.

Then you should be able to get a $49 feature phone as a spare, or for when you don't need a big phone.

(Yes, you can kludge this up using Google Voice, or Twilio, or running Asterisk on your home Linux server, but it needs to be easier than that.)
I've read through this subthread with objective concern.

A criticism that seems fair has been presented here in a benign, non-antagonizing manner, and I am very perplexed as to why all comments arguing in favor of that view have been anonymously downvoted wholesale without anything approaching sufficient substantive explanation.

This is not the kind of behavior that (the) HN (community) is respected for.

Let me sum up what I see here.

- Someone argues in favor of Docker, and are downvoted by enough people their comment turned grey. I think this means it's at -5 or -10 or something. So, no explanation, no comments; just downvotes.

- The one reply that goes into a bit detail comes from a traditionalist UNIX standpoint, and is a bit passive-aggressive. (This comment isn't grey.)

- The next reply frames the parent as "THAT HackerNews response to Dropbox", and highlights that the implied simplicity and sense of "only one obvious way to solve this problem" is in fact not implied and that significant wheel-reinvention must (and presumably has) be done "on the ground". Docker's simplicity is highlighted along with its insecurity. This comment is grey.

- The next reply further brushes-off the stated arguments by (passive-aggressively) noting that the project seems successful enough, and maybe that's because they actually have it figured out. (This comment isn't grey.)

- I read the next reply as a gentle reminder of the importance of remaining relevant going forward - and the fact that this doesn't necessarily mean ground-up reinvention. This comment is also grey.

What is going on here?!

A nontrivial number of comments in this thread, and the other OpenBSD threads I've seen, are basically all chanting about OpenBSD's perfection.

Good customer service, good social skills and forward thinking are some of the most fundamental aspects of commercial success. Does open source think it can get away with "no shirt, no shoes" just because it's free? :(
I remain surprised that such niches don't get filled. Apple is weird, but what percentage of the market does the 100th most popular Android phone capture?

If you're already thinking of yourself in terms of impostor syndrome, there's a very high probability that you are not an impostor.

Isn't all this achieved with a generic code signing certificate? What additional benefit does Apple's "notarization" offer, other than further fragmenting the market?
I am working on Blubyn - an AI powered travel agent helping users book flights and hotels quickly by personalizing results. Here is the link: http://onelink.to/blubyn (app only - available on both iOS and Android)

Being an avid traveler, it has always bothered me that travel experience has remained almost the same over the years. We scout 50 websites to figure out where to go and what to do, where results/posts are something written with a view of catering to everyone(and hence very little for my interests), then to book I have to look at 100 different variables (and repeat the process almost everytime), and not helped by 8-10 websites which all look and function the same way - showing the most results, and not being upfront about anything. It still takes me half an hour to book a flight or hotel - when I do the same set of checks and actions everytime.

Once the booking is done, now again begins the anxiety of scouting trip advisor and lonely planet and forums to get more knowledge about a place. Altogether its a very inefficient experience, to say the least. Comparing that to buying a product on Amazon, one click booking, personalization, one stop shop, a seamless experience, and its fares really bad.

We want to bring that Amazon experience to travel. We have just started, long way to go. Hoping to crack it.
But the overhead, as noted in the OP, is about 3% of the money transfer. That's low.

And making it expensive enough to turn down hobbyists or teenagers. I don’t think I agree with this approach.
True, but there need not be a convenience tradeoff. Make Apple the default signing authority, but make it configurable by the user. Normal users need not ever see it, but they retain an opt out if it ever becomes necessary.
You didn't need a Apple developer account to sign the app if you used a 3rd party(i.e digicert) certificate/signer.

It's for people who want to submit their app non-interactively (e.g. as part of a build process). Those people aren't going to use 2FA since the keys are under control of a robot.

My workplace is still using c++98 since upgrading compilers was too much work and a compatibility risk for our customers.

Why do we need to judge people at all? If it is simply to feel superior, you can just make stuff up. "Look at that person with/without an iPhone while I don't have/have one."
Meh. First, the articles cited all have the same familiar problems of statistical psychology studies - small sample size drawn from psychology students.

Also, unrelatedly, I find ancient stories in many cases better than modern ones because of modern literary fiction's obsession with recording the minutiae of every character's thoughts. As the article notes, in one short story David Foster Wallace takes 12 pages to record a boy walking to a pool and jumping in. I can see the case for representing characters' inner states, it's an important part of the story, but modern literary fiction takes it way too far.

Looks like a similar pattern and the author is the same as with this "Big Hack". But I don't see any hard evidence to say that Bloomberg is completely wrong, either. Just that NSA etc. have officially denied it (which you assume they would).

"why Facebook chose to share the wrong metrics"

Why did you choose to include that bug into your code?

Srsly, people don't choose to make mistakes (but sometimes they choose to do cover up).

Also, there is no such things as "Facebook". Facebook didn't choose, someone inside Facebook either make mistake, or deliberate decision. "Facebook" is not single entity with single agenda and plan, but complex company, with different people optimizing for different things (i.e. security/privacy and growth and ads). There is shared high-level vision, but not every decision is made at single place.

It's pretty much the same(notarized/approved). The only difference is that Apple may not "reject" the app before you publish it, but once it decides to "ban" it you can no longer sign it as they suspend your developer account. I can think of uTorrent as a possible victim of this "notarization" process. Apple can quickly put peer to peer file sharing apps on the "malicious/banned" list just like they did on Appstore.
Have any better metaphors?
I'd say: don't worry man, everyone feels "foreign" in a new company for the first few months, especially if it is a "culture shock".

Learning innovation in the digital age
I believe people are just applying whatever worked on TV blindly, but on the TV you are buying a part of the flow, while on the web you are buying an interruption to the flow which should discount its cost right out the door. And while there are many ways with which text ads can fit in a document layout, there is not many ways to lay out an ad in a video. I find the product placements that many youtubers do is more appealing, and a better way to promote a brand rather than "this ad will close in 20 seconds"
All the successful small artist spaces that I know are different in two ways:

- they are run by volunteers (no paid staff)

- they have some sort of arrangement where they don't have to pay rent at market rate

If you rent a space and hire someone to keep it open, you need a lot of money coming in...
GANs beyond generation: 7 alternative use cases
You can't actually "prevent the private key from being disclosed even if the user wants to export it" out of box on Windows [if you have an HSM this may be an option although it may also make the keys unsuitable for some purposes]. You can make it _annoying_ which is a stock in trade for Microsoft designs, but attackers don't care about it being annoying. The reason is that the CryptoAPI hands over the keys to an application for it to use (it does not function only as a proxy like say ssh-agent), and so application can export the keys. People even make ready-to-use apps to do this, because, as described above, the CryptoAPI behaviour is annoying.

You can require a password, but that's true for text files on a Linux system too. So why don't most people use a secret password to protect a file with a secret key inside it? Because it's yet more pointless busy work, again a stock in trade of Microsoft environments.

Also, because this is so very annoying you don't need physical access but only console access, which you can of course get remotely, as otherwise administrators of the mountains of Windows servers set up this way couldn't type in all the passwords needed over RDP every day. (If you're lucky they are using an encrypted RDP session to do this...)
I don't, considering the amount of resources needed to concieve, develop and market even the smallest peripheral at a company like Apple. Plus (although it might be less so nowadays due to their size) Apple still has a culture of saying "no" to a lot of things that "could" make sense.

Some chinese companies that tend to throw shit at the wall to see what sticks are better positioned to do that, but chances are that you'll get a subpar product you won't probably like using, let alone buy in the first place.

Last but not least, the existence of a niche of consumers is no direct indication that such niche will actually buy the product they think they want. This is why a lot of startups fail despite the fact their product should theoretically sell like hot cakes.
What exactly is this if it's not a review process? If you violate Apple's policies you are banned. Of course your app won't stay in queue for review but once Apple found they don't like your app you can no longer sign it and I'm pretty sure they can make gatekeeper stop the existing installs as well.
It is still a writing on the wall. It makes no sense to tighten the security on signed apps if it is not to prevent unsigned app from running at one point. Which is clearly the direction of travel (and what Microsoft also did with WinRT and Windows 10 S). I don't have to wait until the final destination to not like the direction.

> Even on windows my experience is that signed-non-windows-store apps can get flagged as malicious upon download

But I’m Windows, any approved CA can issue a certificate, not just a Microsoft.

Apple’s new regime is not only restricted to Apple being the only CA, but that Apple is the only one who can sign the apps.

That’s immensely restrictive.

I've trouble wrapping my head around that.

IMO Alice seems rude and even manipulative, first asking a question, then lecturing the person who answees the question in a perfectly valid way.

The normal thing to do in such a case (where I grew up and where I live now) would be to accept the answer as it 1. Answers the question at hand. 2. Is a perfect non-offensive interpretation of the intent of the question.

In particular, the comment by Ron Maimon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_quotient#Current_... has a few relevant things. In "References" see [5], for example.
I've noticed a pattern: the people that look "on point" are often clueless, and the ones that look muddled are often heading in the right direction. It has taken twenty years, and several careers, for me to work this out though.

Try to find someone you can talk to, and work with, that doesn't make you feel stupid. You seem to be focusing too much on the "I": it makes a huge difference the relationships you form. Huge.

This could be difficult for you, but here's another idea: be vulnerable. Let people know what's going on with you, that you're afraid and need a leg-up. Being vulnerable in this way is actually a sign of great strength. Your post here on HN is already a step in this direction.

Hello Dick, oh so you found a mirror, great! I doubt self-reflection is something a troll like you is capable of though, given that your ability to parse simple English without self-projecting your own - pretty limited and frankly a bit stupid - thoughts into other people's content. That's some narcissism component that you have here.

EDIT: I knew it, you narcissist use alt accounts for voting manipulation. LOL, I won't even report you, sick little child (no sane person would go through such trouble for literally nothing). I knew it was only you all along, and this comment was a provocation test - nobody else is reading this any more at this point. The only way to get such a quick within-minutes reaction to this comment is if you cheat (and use a notification service, which was already likely in your case so I counted on it). Got you!

Identity Diversification: The Case for a Well-Balanced Sense of Self
I believe the Bloomberg story because of their report that the malicious chip was originally found on hardware owned by Elemental, which at the time was a small startup company that had government clients.

The hardware was found when Elemental was acquired by AWS and they did a more thorough hardware security review. Elemental would have been a good target because of their government clients but was/is not large enough to be noteworthy otherwise. This is where I trust the Bloomberg story. Saying, "Amazon, FB, Apple got hacked" is one thing. Including a then-200 person startup company in the mix is another. To me it serves as evidence that the hack was real.
Or the hack is so bad that Apple has no idea what was compromised...
Nitpick: Secure boot is about the firmware protecting the machine at boot time against unauthorized OSes or OS-modifications, establishing trust in the boot-media.

App-signing is about protecting the user within an already booted OS, trusted or not.

These are very different concepts.
> it's not too much for a motivated developer

This is pretty subjective.
I think this niche doesn't get filled because of the gap between what you want and what you buy. The gap between what you (ought to) want and that which makes a good first impression on you.

I have, use and like a small android phone called "unihertz jelly pro", small enough to fit in any pocket and good for my use. After a while with that phone, using a phablet one evening was an absolute eureka moment. I was looking for some sort of product, and on the phablet all the photos looked good. Inviting. Desirable. The whole phablet was fun in a way the small phone wasn't.

After that experience, I can understand that people reach for the big phones in the shop, even if some of them may really want something different in the long term.

And I can understand why retailers stock the phones they do. The phone where instagram looks good is the phone with the right first impression, and one has to optimise for getting the goods out the door.

(http://rant.gulbrandsen.priv.no/unihertz has blah about how I tweaked the phone, if anyone cares.)

Speaking of tricky conversions, the Finnish translation of The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a heroic cultural treasure.

"Ravenous bugblatter beast of Traal", a word soup that in English is mix of gaggy and absurd, has been transformed into "traalilainen sontiaismolottaja". It's a rarity, a joke that ends up better after translation.

Apologies for anyone not fluent in Finnish to appreciate the work.
Could it have been that the author's business/community structure could have affected its outcome? I found having a more horizontal do-ocracy, membership-driven community model. I'm convinced that was essential to helping persist a few orgs that I've participated in cofounding. This CCC document [1] really drove that philosophy home for a few of us up here in Vancouver, BC. Highly recommend the read!

That being said there is a lot of toxicity I've seen coming from other spaces. Noisebridge on Mission St. is the first to come to mind. That being said it's still around and kicking!
