I do get your point and agree but most users are uneducated and will most likely have problems with DuckDuckGo and be confused to what happened to their Google and why is it deleted. So I guess it’s another side to consider. That’s no excuse thou. Apple should at least ask the question in the onboarding.
Before you consider Apple as your next device provider, remember that they right now are completely shutting down third party repairs of their devices.

Also Apple's own "repair method" is to tell you that it's broken, without so much as opening the case and just replacing any component that seems to act up, costing you up to the device's original price in repair fees.
Or we could get asked

Do you want the google store(40$), the amazon store(x$), other free store(0$) ?
I've always found it hilarious that what we see today from the Agile industry can in no way have come from such vague statements. 99% of Agile is shit people who weren't part of the original group made up so they could sell and the 1% if Agile that's actually real isn't specific enough to mean anything more than "do stuff".

I know this is a little unrelated, but Apple makes me agree to giant EULAs and "terms of use" every time they update their damned iTunes store.

I wish that would go away and the Apple EULAs and agreements would get shorter instead of getting longer.
Cook is only making this statement because it's in Apple's business interest to cripple ad-based competitors by convincing policy makers to hobble them with regulation. He's not a neutral observer.
I'd rather not pay for it with my privacy though.
Also you can't just forget the point, that you will not find the same results on DuckDuckGo and Bing and others that you find on Google. That is my #1 problem with switching to another search engine. It doesn't show me the results that I need, especially for technical questions. Google does.
Try to read that back again. You are asking why if Apple is allowed to do this on their product, why is google not allowed to do this on everyone else’s product.

If google wants to make a phone that’s locked to an operating system with only their store they can do that, no issue. But that’s not what they are doing. They are distributing their operating system across the market and abusing that to force out any competing stores. That’s not ok.

If Ford decides to sell all their cars with Michelin tires that’s not an issue, however if Michelin decides that every company who uses their tires must also use their new expensive brand of windscreen wipers that’s a problem.
I’d like to see better sand boxing of the Photo album on iOS. Facebook, LinkedIn and others are known to raid your photos if they have access to it. Ideally you could limit their ability to read and write to just a specific photo album. Or limit write and read separately. At the moment your ability to enable and disable the permission is based on what permission the app requests and they show up together.

Cook isn't arguing that companies should not be allowed to have access to data. He's arguing that there should be laws in place to prevent misuse and abuses of that data.

There's nothing inherently wrong with agreeing to give a company access to your data. But it's absolutely wrong that once you've handed your data over, that company can do whatever it wants with it, with no restrictions, as if they own it.
I hear ya.

I'm definitely not saying that ideology is right, I'm just saying that I don't think that any side really has a good understanding of the impacts of either decision. I've been careful to not express my own opinion, but I'll share it now, probably to my own detriment.

I think that immigration doesn't have to be a polarized thing. The two major sides have done their best to turn this into a polarized issue and a false dichotomy. While I would certainly love to see people coming into the country through legal means, I also feel that our legal process is shit. The thing that I can't get through the heads of anyone that oppose "those brown people" is that yeah, statistically, we may get some criminals, but per capita, we have wayyyy more people trying to come here than are likely criminals. If this many people are trying to escape from their country, be it Syria or Mexico, we have to look at that and think about what it takes to drive someone to leave the place that they grew up.

The other thing that I've shared in the past that will likely get me shredded if the wrong person comes across this, is that I'm happy to not be in the majority race. I would rather be in a place where everyone has a seat at the table. As far as losing our national identity, I don't buy that either. The number one threat to our national identity right now is... wait for it... Americans. For years we were told that Muslims would come here and implement Sharia law. We are now seeing court enabled protections for those who feel their religious beliefs are violated by LGBT people such as myself. We are actively taking the steps to implement the Christian version of Sharia law.

Even at the end of these opinions, I still don't think I fully understand the right solution. I think this is a dangerous time for this country. History is on the side of us having another civil war or revolution. I hesitate to compare us to the French Revolution as so many do, so I'll draw out a larger comparison. What has happened in history when laws begin to favor wealth and the center of power? I don't mean everyday legislation, but the level of shit we are beginning to see here with extreme tax breaks and protections. It doesn't look good.

You cited a magazine article. Just look at the recommendations that nutrition organizations give, WHO, etc, people that are experts in the field. If you think it's bs then there's not much I can do about that

My 2c to your response: there is some variation among individuals, I think it's intentionally exaggerated. Milk isn't a health product, but it's nutritious and useful for those that don't have much appetite to eat. Agree about fish oil unless you're deficient in omega 3. The amount of calories you can eat plays a huge preventative role in having any deficiencies. Most people have some kind of deficiency. Most people don't, or can't due to age or health issue, exercise so much that their metabolic rate is high enough (1.5-2x higher) to see those gains, which is why nutrition advice matters. If you ignore everything about nutrition, you can get the most benefit by avoiding added sugar and oils. It goes a very very long way
This was also my assumption, and the assumption of a lot of people I've seen. I don't think it's well explained.
It's Ads or Paywalls, but it's not Paywalls or Bypass, you can choose both. Since micropayments are not here yet, and most of us can't afford subscriptions to every single site, an approach is to just choose a few you can afford, and bypass the paywalls of the rest.

I know this is unacceptable to those who have a moral opposition to accessing content without accepting the rules, but to those who are just concerned about funding journalism, this approach is essentially equivalent to not bypassing paywalls.

Also, there's a problem with paywalls, which is the enhanced tracking (by subscribing, you're giving them an excellent profile to attach to their analytics). Some people might therefore prefer to use a Bypasser even if they are subscribed.
Does Apple really compete with Facebook and ad platforms? Does Apple even really compete with Google? Isn’t the Android competition mostly not Google, e.g. Samsung?
Stephen Hawking’s Final Paper: How to Escape from a Black Hole
You misunderstand what the internet connection is for.
Right now most machine learning models run on server farms and your voice snppet is sent to the server, where the model processes it. They then send the interpretation back

"Local model" means the voice snippet is processed on your device. Never beamed off to a server farm.

The interpretation might be:

Action: internetSearch
QueryString: movie times for "Avengers" [near me || {userPreferences.movieTheater}]
UseLocation: true

Which then kicks off whatever process Siri has for handling internet search actions
As far as I understand this, correct me if this is wrong, this means the content of your messages is encrypted. There is still important data to fetch about who you talk to, how much and when.

Blocking ads being about privacy always seemed like hypocrisy and extensions like these only prove it.

Of course, the ads revenue model for the Internet only happened because people basically want free labor, being unwilling to pay for the content they consume, screw the publishers the world will survive.

Show HN: CommentBox.io – a responsible alternative to Disqus
How does this work? Do they reuse login credentials or something like that?
Hi Everyone! I'm the maker of CommentBox.io. Many of us who have built blogs in the past have at least considered Disqus or Facebook Comments as their commenting system. Their ubiquity is unquestioned, and the free price can't be beat. But we're giving up trillions of data-points about us in return, strengthening their data-mining, ad-serving machines.

What if providing a great hosted commenting platform was the only goal, and didn't come with strings attached? I built CommentBox.io because I wanted to give users an alternative, and I hope you like it!
The cops would revolt as their revenue would disappear or the voters would revolt as taxes would have to be raised to make up for lost ticket revenue.

I mean, it's just my view, I don't speak for anyone else, much less "this site". I personally don't think it's realistic to require these companies to totally stay out of the Chinese market, that's just not going to happen.

I vouched for it. This is clearly tech related, interesting and speaks to an issue of our time - the move to/from the cloud. The headline isn't entirely wrong ... there were two outages on Prime Day and the move off Oracle DB was the cause of one of them, but it could also be clarified. It's a minor issue.

I suspect it may just get flagged again because it paints Oracle in a good light. Apparently that is now unspeakable wrongthink and anything that implies Oracle might not be 100% suck needs to be hidden, lest the idea spread.
How is Google abusing the data collected in your context? You gave your consent when you setup your android device, right? You want Google voice or Siri? They surely benefit from all your data.
I do understand the direction of travel here (and notwithstanding the idea that most geo-engineering and other "solutions" seem to carry James Bond Villan levels of unintended consequences) what I feel is missing is tackling the elephant in the room.

The article says it clearly "It's a collective action problem the world has been unable to solve"

Well, can we place a call out for investment in innovative solutions to collective action.

Can we fix democracy - both where it lives but could do better and where it does not live at all?

I don't accept that "Social Media" already does this. We need more

In short - Let's have investment and innovation in the democracy and freedom space (as well as) in the carbon sequestration space.

Ask HN: How would you host this?
I need to host an application and I'm looking for the cheapest option that considers the following...

* The front-end is written with React
* The back-end is written in Node + Express
* The database is MongoDB
* We don't need much storage. 512 MB should be fine for a while
* We need daily database backups
* The site will have around 30 users and will be less than 1 concurrent request per second
* We will require SSL (HTTPS)
* We can't use the free limits for our AWS account
* I'm the only one who supports this app and I want something reliable and easy to set up and maintain

How would you host this app?
Please take the time an read the article, hazz99.

Well done everyone. Never let the actual content of an article get in the way of some good old Apple bashing.

At the time of writing, I can only find one top level comment (by 'dvfjsdhgfv') that's making any attempt to discuss or expand upon the content of Cook's comments.

This is one of the most important issues facing mankind, and the ball is very much in our court. We all get plenty of opportunities to criticise our favourite tech companies and their practices, but if every single mention of them becomes an invitation to shoehorn in our gripes and complaints then this entire endeavour is just a massive waste of time.
My problem with Blendle is that you're essentially paying for them to get a full profile of every article your read. At least Google Analytics and such can be blocked, making it more difficult to connect your profile across the sites of different publications. With Blendle, that's impossible.

I know it's adding complexity and most people don't care, but I wish they used a system of crypto vouchers (not like cryptocurrencies, more like Mozilla Persona, which allowed identity providers - in this case, Blendle - to vouch for the user without knowing to whom they were vouching).

I believe you, but I find it impossible to understand that point of view..

And still might, depending on if the economy tanks or if I get brain damage from being hit by a car or something.

Cheap energy is the enabler for several of the solutions proposed among the comments.

More data is not always better, it can be for sure, you need to have the analytical capabilities to turn it into useful information. Otherwise it's just hoarding.

“Our own information — from the everyday to the deeply personal — is being weaponized against us with military efficiency,” warned Cook. “These scraps of data, each one harmless enough on its own, are carefully assembled, synthesized, traded and sold.

If personal data has value, and companies are making billions or even trillions of dollars from it, shouldn't these firms be paying the source (us) to use it? Real cash, as opposed to discounts or in-kind exchanges?

> electrical signals weaken more as they flow along human dendrites, resulting in a higher degree of electrical compartmentalization, meaning that small sections of dendrites can behave independently from the rest of the neuron

Reading this, I just realized that all this time I was using the wrong computing analogy to understand the brain: neurons are not the transistors of the brain, dendrites are!
IMHO its because they are quite accurately measuring the value of investing the time.

What is the likely damage? - if your photos etc. are backed up then most people (as in most of 7 billion) can get new system up and running in probably less than 100th of the time it would take them to even begin to understand how to secure their system / accounts.

Secondly what are the chances of your security efforts actually making a difference? very very very low i would have thought.. you are either a low value target or you need to be an absolute expert to do anything about it.

Its a bit like locking your front door or car.. we like to kid ourselves that it is what is making a difference whereas what is really important is that most people are actually not evil and don't mean you any harm. in reality both can be broken into in seconds with the most rudimentary of tools.

Hacks seem to be in the categories of:
-Mass data collection to find nudes etc. (you need to have something to hide to make this an issue)
-Mass data collection to sell your data (this is being done anyway legally in broad daylight by google et al)
-You have something of value (you need to hire a security team to have any real hope of defending this)

If any form of mass hack really became an issue it would be an issue for millions to billions of people, so in all likelihood it would be a world changing event for everyone if there was an issue (regardless of if they were specifically the victim or not). not to mention how much of your data will be leaked through other peoples insecurity anyways.

I think more of the issue is actually the developers and the people selling software being so desperate to make money or show off they have pushed the world forward so fast that for most (all?) people being up to date with technology and secure is an either or situation never a both.

Also the generally public don't believe how little major services have thought about the security implications of what they do.. the erodes their motivation in two ways: if the zuck himself cannot get security right how can I and there is no way that these companies would suggest i do something or offer a service that was inherently insecure.

so a lot of random thoughts there.. but overall i would say: it takes time and those in tech need to take it more seriously first.
