I've not tried them all, in fact I've only driven a Tesla on autopilot for a few 100 miles.

However with 1 billion miles driven on autopilot and (IMO) relatively few problems it seems like it must be pretty good. I hear about accidents involving uber, waymo, and similar just about as often as Tesla, despite Tesla shipping 5000 cars a week or more. Granted only a faction of those are likely to have the $5,000 enhanced autopilot, still radically more miles driven than anyone else.

...I'd have hoped that people such as Stroud that worked for US intelligence would have a stronger moral compass than what the article describes.

It seems like you are saying it is moral to work for a U.S. intelligence agency but not for a foreign government that targets human rights activists. U.S. intelligence agencies have targeted human rights activists for decades. U.S. intelligence agencies have engaged in torture, illegal kidnappings, drug trafficking, and a host of other immoral acts. If a person is comfortable working for an American intelligence agency and you are comfortable with people who do then I don't see how this situation is any worse. I'm surprised she had any moral compunction that an American citizen was involved.
The legal team would have reviewed the TOS but they probably weren’t looped in when some PM got the idea to use the certificate for this purpose.

In my own experience people often avoid consulting legal when they think they can get away with it (or don’t realize they need to), although I’m sure it varies a LOT based on company culture.

"Drop" is a term of art from the demolition industry. The U.S. Army does a lot of non-combat demolition work, the Corps of Engineers in particular, and the language carries over quite naturally.

In this case, "destroy the building" is less accurate than "drop". Their goal was complete demolition, to prevent the building from being occupied by more fighters. The intended audience of this article will understand the language clearly.
Well put.

It is an interesting salvo in what I've started thinking of as the "data war." All three companies have a huge asset in data collection capability, and preventing the others from exploiting it is only the first skirmish among them.

It will be interesting to see if Google offers to pay additional monies to Apple in order to "restore" this pipeline, and whether or not Apple will agree. In one sense, Apple already gives up a data feed by sending search queries to Google.
Why should they not have the right to enforce the terms of their own service? They own it, the operate it. It's theirs to do with as they wish.

Your comment might make sense of Apple were some sort of government entity, but it isn't; it was completely Facebook and Google's decision to abide by Apple's terms and conditions, something that will have been pored over by legal team upon legal team. This is not something Facebook or Google will have entered into lightly, and yet they explicitly chose to break the terms and conditions.

If I run a restaurant and one of the house rules is that you're not allowed to harass my staff and make the dining experience unpleasant for other customers, and you do that, of course I'm well within my rights to throw you out.
In fact, one could reasonably say Apple actively tries not to obtain too large of a market percentage to avoid laws affecting monopolies.
That was probably on purpose: the scrutiny for a Facebook enterprise account with maybe dozens of internal apps will be much lower than for a weird account which has only one or two apps but a lot of installs.

Easier to hide the rule-breaking app in a swarm of legitimate ones.

> Apple’s move to block Google’s developer certificate comes just a day after Google disabled its Screenwise Meter app following press coverage

So Apple got to know it's terms are being violated after the press attention? Did they already know/is there a way they can detect this is happening? If not, then there could certainly be smaller players who have been routinely abusing this contract? I am trying to understand if Apple knew of this beforehand and are trying to avoid a PR disaster, or were caught off guard(which is scarier imo).
Child labor?
This seems pretty hard to enforce. What if instead the fee per domain just increased by a dollar per year? The first few dozen years shouldn't be too onerous for those who aren't squatting on a mountain of domains and if your domain is 50+ years old maybe you've found a way to monetize it.
Java doesn't even have a proprietary nature (anymore). It is licensed under the GNU GPL.
Something like 90%+ of the profit from smartphones goes to Apple — if that’s not the upper hand then I don’t know what is. Apple makes profit. Google has a legion of devices with incentives to keep insecure so they can monitor and harvest the data to both serve and sell ads.
There are terms and conditions that apply to the enterprise cert which are different than those of the standard developer cert. Some of the conditions are relaxed (e.g. wrt the lack of oversight on what you are pushing to your enterprise users) but your enterprise only gets one cert that covers all apps you distribute with these relaxed terms and conditions. If one of your developers pisses in the pool by using the cert to distribute an app outside of the enterprise, particularly an app that violates app store policies and therefore could only be distributed via the enterprise cert, then your cert gets yanked.

This revocation only applies to the apps that are signed with the enterprise cert, so, for example, the Facebook app or Google Maps app in the app store are not affected.
Holding companies would break an approach like this very quickly - it's likely that the cost burden of this change would hit smaller companies much quicker than large ones.
>> Apple should not have the right to enforce those conditions to begin with

Apple is not a state-owned company. They can do whatever they like, and you can choose to support them by purchasing their stock and/or their products. You can choose not to support them by purchasing neither their stock or their products.

There are several federal and state laws that define what they "can not do", and this isn't one of them. Why should a business owner(s) "not have the right" to run their business any way they see fit, so long as they do not violate the law?

Your analogy to MS doesn't hold water - MS was told not to do something by a governing authority, and they did it anyway. The governing authority stepped in and enforced their rules - nothing out of the ordinary there.
I spent considerable time playing with Java and various usability extensions, but if I could go back I would have ditched Java much sooner. ML based languages really are an order of magnitude productivity boost.
For my family it is probably the best thing I have bought.

Wife and even mother-in-law can just say "Hey Siri Play Disney Radio" or whatever and it always just works and the baby can dance around to music.

If they are watching Netflix or Hulu or Disney Jr or HBO or etc they just just say "Hey Siri Volume Up" or "Hey Siri Pause" even if the Apple TV remote has made its way under the couch.

When we walk downstairs in the morning we can just whisper (so to not wake the baby) "hey siri turn the downstairs lights on" and it always just works.

"Hey Siri what's the temperate in [the baby's name]'s room?" "Hey Siri raise the temperate a couple degrees"

It would be a BIG deal to remove this from our life right now as we use it for so many things.
On point 3, one thing to note is that negotiation from a big corp angle is far different to negotiating as a small startup.

I had a co-founder who worked with a Fortune 50 oil giant. His negotiation style was to bully and pressure, which works great when you're huge, not if you're tiny.

It's not always the case, but an anti-pattern to be careful of.
>I don’t understand people who are acting offended that Apple is enforcing the clear terms of service it laid out.

I don't understand why they were so happy when this happened to Facebook but now they are offended because it happened to Google.

Oh wait, yes I do understand why. o:-)

The problem is that there is no way that curated can scale (at least, I don't see one). As the web has grown, curated becomes less and less possible.
This is a pretty poor argument. I can think of multiple reasons they should be able to immediately revoke a certificate (or an app)
1. It finds the certificate has been compromised
2. it finds a publisher introduced malware in an update to their app

If some app decides to include a crypto-miner, that burns up your battery, your sure going to want apple to yank that from all the phones, as quick as possible, not sit there an hope your pocket doesn't melt before you can figure out which app to uninstall.
> s at the very least it means that they have spent more money on an American business (IE, the univerity).

I am not sure why it matters. Good chance the university is a visa mill and setup specifically for f1 to h1b transition like the recent DHS sting revealed. Such businesses needlessly muddle edu-sector and destroy capital on things that solely exist to bypass government red tape. It adds to economic inefficiency of the society.

Also, that is not the reason USCIS has given. "They spent money on USA business" is the criteria than the law should explicitly state that and everyone can then compete. My wife arrived on H4 and lost to H1B lottery twice. In that time she converted to F1 and then got her OPT is a small college. The degree was worthless and we spent $25K on her education. That enabled her to win H1B lottery in her third attempt in master's cap. Technically beneft to US society was significantly more if she had got her H1B in first attempt.

But that is not the point I am making. My central point is that USCIS policy clearly (I am not sure how much more clear it can get than that text) violates the law passed by Congress. USCIS at the very least need to provide credible evidence as to why this new system is better, why someone with US masters degree be automatically assumed to be higher skilled and based on what evidence and how it links to BAHA executive order whose pretext is being used for such changes. H1B visa is not meant for "high skilled" any ways. It is meant for specialized skill that is in short supply in USA. So there is a violation of far basic principles there too.

Any ways an injunction will prove my point.
Android isn't a "totally open platform". By default you can only install apps from the Play Store and Google exercices a fair amount of editorial control over apps.

Advanced degree, leading a highly visible project, generating significant sales or new business relationships, getting external recognition for your work and reflecting it back on your employer. All of which are strategies that are successfully employed by many professionals to get large increases in compensation.

Even more interesting is how to profit from these incentives as someone who doesn't work for the company. Many highly-visible startup acquisitions happen because a mid-level executive is trying to create highly-visible external accomplishments that justify them being raised up a compensation level.

It says Rob Dubbin coded the original version. That is false. I did a lot of it and Mindy helped with the front end. Rob did not code any of it. And I solved a lot of hard problems. The fact that he just gives me no credit and just says it crashed constantly is slander. It did have a problem I couldn't figure out for a long time with the chat process crashing the server. But it worked fairly well for them in production despite that issue. I solved the hard technical challenges and yet he discounted my work and threw me under the bus. Very unfair. I have no respect for those people.
At least with Google it doesn't look like they were hiding anything (e.g. the app is clearly from Google and not some random intermediary).
> the resources used for this sting are not that high.

How would you like to pay for it out of your own pocket then? Even if it cost no more than several ICE agents' time, it's still a much more significant waste than you're trying to portray. Let's try to keep this factual, OK?

The fact that you say "those guys" is telling. The focus should be on efficiency and effectiveness relative to ICE's mission, not on making sure that "we're hurting the right people" (as the unintentionally-honest meme goes).
You're right - it differs from company to company.

I think you'll enjoy the role if you are in a company where the PM drives the feature - the PM determines what features should be implemented, does the design (UI, logic, behavior, etc and then Dev does the technical design and codes it).

One way to measure your value is also your ability to solve customer's problems. By this I mean - you could have a feature/capabilities and then a customer has a unique situation; being able to figure out how to use your feature in a non-conventional manner or coming up with a work-around (not one that creates a loop hole) to solve the problem can feel rewarding. The challenge though is that it is sometimes difficult to quantify this when you are trying to move companies
Also interested in what you use to park your extra domains. I have a dozen or so domains of former/future ideas and would love to at least have them maintain themselves. :)
Facebook was paying 13 year olds to use the app, so that argument isn't really available to them unless they want some pretty significant civil penalties straight from the US Government. (I strongly doubt it'd fly either way, but "we hired underage contractors" really won't.)
For me, this is just another reason to be unhappy with the Apple distribution model. I work with IOT devices and we have enough trouble getting Apple to approve our app store releases. We need Enterprise Certs from time to time as a release valve for the inconsistent review policies that stop us from getting into the app store in a predictable manner.
The reason she was probably ok with working for US intelligence was precisely because she saw no immorality in doing terrible things to non-americans, or at the very least, she gradually absorbed that viewpoint over time.
> I can't comprehend how one would arrive at that reasoning.

definitely some mental gymnastics are required. the difference between owning and renting is largely inconsequential. i rarely watch the stuff i own, and since i can rent it for free from a library, i would never buy it. i just save myself a library trip the one time in 2 years that i want to watch it.

i guess i have little sympathy for ever-expanding media conglomerates, like Comcast-NBCUniversal, given how they've treated me as their loyal customer/prisoner for the past decade. i do pay for content from smaller studios, and as i said, most of the stuff i rip is older and i already own in crappier resolution on dvd.
It's not the only reasonable path, of course. There are heavily de-Googled versions of Android out there as well.

In this case I'm voting with my dollars and paying a premium for a device made by a company that is, at least overtly, pushing for a bare minimum level of support for their customers.

It certainly doesn't hurt that they're nice phones too, though.
Can someone explain how Facebook or Google hiring testers willing to expose 100% of their personal usage via an opt-in, paid program impacts consumers? Why should we 'applaud' Apple for this? Isn't it perfectly reasonable for companies like Google and Facebook to run deep user testing?

Google and Facebook signed contracts and then broke the terms. That’s what makes it different.
Thank you for a link to a readable version of the agreement!

It looks to me like "Permitted Users" includes "contractors" like those in a compensated research panel, and thus the Facebook/Google uses are plausibly enabled under the program.
Hi, I’ve enjoyed using Firestore so far, but one aspect I find very limiting is the fact that you are limited to one Firestore database per Google Cloud project. Are there any plans to change this? Allowing multiple Firestore databases would make setting up staging and testing environments much easier.

> Workstations need to be totally user-controlled, but phones don't

And why this extreme generalization, exactly? Don't you suppose you could have privacy, security, and perhaps even simplicity and ease-of-use with a totally free and open phone that grants control to the user? You really don't explain how "a totally open platform" is mutually exclusive, nor how your own personal needs require the inverse of freedom. Further, the distinction between computer and mobile device are irrelevant given so many people depend on the later as their main computing device. They should be offered the same degree of control as someone with a computer has.

Ultimately, you cannot have privacy and security in a closed-source restricted platform, even if it's backed by good intentions. You're at the mercy of a few companies and as soon as they abandon the device, or make a mistake, you're exposed. And as a consumer, you're forced to buy into their ecosystem instead of having the choice to provide your own solutions. This is already true for the hardware, such as the black-box baseband required to connect to cellular networks.
This is great and super informational, thanks for sharing!

Basics like this should be part of every introductory CS course.
I use the elements of programming from SICP[1] as a litmus test for this kind of frameworks.

The main issue with these annotation hacks is that they fail in the area of “means of combination” and “means of abstraction”.

For example if you have:
@X
@Y
class Something{}

You cannot tell if X & Y can be combined (or how it’s combined), or you cannot easily create an abstraction Z with X and Y (you may be able to do that but it requires framework support and usually is painfully impractical)

It seems to be a small issue compared to the added value, but to me is not.
As the code base grows the maintenance and debugging issues grow too... in the end probably is better to use Kotlin or Scala.

Ah yep, I meant alloys that are reasonable to use for rail, including cost restrictions.

If you can, I'd suggest spending a little more on either an RTL-SDR with a built-in upconverter (~$30 on AliExpress) or an SDRplay RSP1A ($120 from Ham Radio Outlet). An upconverter allows the RTL-SDR to operate in the crucial bands below 30MHz; the SDRplay RSP1A has vastly better performance and will pick up all sorts of signals that an RTL-SDR won't. The RTL-SDR is a really cool and very cheap introduction to radio, but I think you might outgrow it fairly quickly if you're technically-minded and have a serious interest in radio.

I'd also suggest seriously considering getting an amateur radio license. It isn't difficult or expensive in most countries, you'll learn a lot about radio in the process and you'll gain the right to transmit on a wide range of frequencies. The /r/amateurradio wiki is a useful starting point.

It's harsh because it's true. There's no reason to teach love one's coding. In fact, there's no reason to teach them anything that does not resonate with them naturally.
There is really nothing to ride out. I think it's rather refreshing that Apple followed the rules they set forth even when it was large companies breaking them. I would have more issue if Apple shutdown the lone developer, and then did nothing when FB/Google did the exact same thing.

With the above said, we can certainly discuss if Apple should use/have this ability at all. But, IMO it is a different discussion.
I absolutely disagree, but I think it is reasonable for domain authorities of various gTLDs to incorporate company names into domain name rights a bit more - if your company is FooBar and foobar.com is taken you may get some legal advantage in any efforts to secure it, this could just shift the domain name squatting issue to a company name squatting issue though. And, I'm also making the assumption that we're fine with pushing personal pages and other domain uses off on a different gTLD.
