So now it comes out that Apple is working to “quickly reinstate Google’s enterprise certificates” but won’t work with Facebook?

By now it should be fairly obvious that Apple hates Facebook for a very good reason- Facebook is Apple’s single biggest threat. I’m completely convinced this has nothing to do with privacy or protecting users, it just makes for a convenient excuse.

If people slowly start replacing iMessage with WhatsApp or messenger, that creates a bridge to leave iOS for Android since Apple’s software is one of the main features of the phone. If you become less reliant on the software the hardware suddenly becomes a commodity.

This whole episode is giving me pause about staying in the iOS ecosystem. Beyond that I think some antitrust litigation is going to hit Apple soon.
How so? They allowed the license to expire?
Yes - but I'm not subscribing to 10 news papers. I try to reference CNN, NBC, ABC, MSNBC, Fox News, NPR, Bloomberg, Guardian, NY Post, NY Times. I will even read some of the alt-left and alt-right stuff as well.

I find there are some journalists I'd like to block and never read their trash again from each paper and some I would like to go back to over and over again. (Chris Wallace is a good one)

The fact that I can't get consistency from any one of the above is frustrating and I'm not paying 10 bucks a month per newspaper, the most I'll do is turn my ad blocker off.

I want to give journalists my money, but I don't want to give a newspaper with a single agenda my money.

Don't worry. Manuals are not supposed to be read like a textbook/tutorial. Not most of them anyway.

I know a guy who read through half a thick book on Python without writing a line of code. He said it all made sense until a point, where he began to hate the language. Well, it was a terrible book for a beginner, but the point is, reading about the stuff is not enough and you will only get repelled.

Choose one tech that you like. Investigate how real use works, mostly by trying to build real things, even if only for study purposes. If you get lost or the learning material gets repulsive/boring, move on. You need to have a good time. Seek existing useful examples by other people in real famous software not textbooks. Emulate them / reuse parts for your projects / invent, imagine new uses. You get deep by enjoying and "pushing the envelope" on what you can build. Not by reading per se. That is a parallel activity that can help, but is not enough.

Many books/manuals are good for getting straight idea on which version of the tech supports the feature you need, and what is the version-specific syntax and limitations. But this is the kind of information that gets useful only after you already have a very good working knowledge of the thing and need to deal with real world ugliness of different versions/obscure features/corner cases at work.
I would steer away from being rude to the average cashier, and instead complain to their corporate overlords.

As someone who worked in retail, it was equally uncomfortable for me to ask as it was for the customer to answer.

> Newspaper I paid for reported falsely

> they charged the parents

So the newspaper just reported the fact that they had been charged?

> From that day I learned of fake news.

You learned to label things you don’t agree with as fake news.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's more the case GoDaddy snatches them all up and people don't bother to leave.
Copyright can constrain use (although the actual extent varies a lot between jurisdictions). Most licenses (which are basically a way to manage copyrights) don't make use that, but some do (like a license that Apple uses for their SDKs, which disallows running it on non-Apple hardware).

BTW. I ignore that and even many large, respectable companies ignore that, but it's there ;)
I sortof agree with your oppinion. This reminds me of the early days of photoshop. I remember the art photoshop art around then,packed with tons of filters and distortions,etc. Nowadays AI takes credit for it
In fact, “futurism” is contributing nothing either.
It's trustworthy and their domain management tools, particularly for dealing with large numbers of domains, is on point. I've transferred to other registrars before, and am moving some of my less critical domains to Cloudflare for the cost savings currently[1]. But my main domains will remain with GoDaddy for the foreseeable future.

Oh, and they have 24/7 phone support, that at least, last time I had to call, was US-based. I don't truly trust anyone who doesn't have good phone support. Ticket systems are great and all for low priority requests, but it's too easy for a place with only a ticket system to handle you in a low priority way.

[1]The transfer process is straightforward and the price can't be beat, but their domain management features are still incredibly immature. You can't have name servers set that aren't Cloudflare's, every time you go to domain registration, it wants you to transfer ALL of your domains. And bulk management of domains on Cloudflare is nonexistent: You can't even find the expiration/renewal dates of your domains on Cloudflare without visiting the page for each one individually. It's actually easier to find the expiration dates for all your domains that are not on Cloudflare (on the Domain Registration page). I do like it but they have work to do.
I worked at GoDaddy for a while. They have been around a really long time, so I'm not surprised there are so many registered there. They also advertised a lot more than any other registrar. Honestly, having worked there, they are not a bad registrar, they're just more focused on small businesses than on techies.
How Locast differs from Aereo:

1. They place an antenna in the same market as the subscribers, and don't stream content from one market to a viewer in a different market

2. They're nonprofit, which I guess changes the rules on this type of activity?

I hope he does get sued, and wins. This seems to be analogous to time-shifting your content using a VCR (now DVR), except it's space-shifting your antenna instead.
Most of EU already uses Whatsapp. If NA jumps ship for Whatsapp/FB messenger Apple's gonna be in trouble.
A friend of mine suggested

"What is your staff turnover like?"

Along with the note that the answer is less important than observing their reaction to being asked.
If it’s uncomfortable to ask then don’t take my response personally. I don’t do it to be rude, just found this to be the most effective way of making a statement without saying much more - which is more likely to make the cashier upset given my resting tone.
You haven't seen Apple's commercials? "what's a computer"? This is the ONLY experience they want everybody expect
What privacy would you be giving up? Amazon will know that you have light bulbs in your home?
I think that's an important point that you'd have to support a small group like, editor/journalist combo.

I imagine you could get a pay scale based on page views, and a model where if you don't use the subscription you get ads.

It'd be interesting to see built.

I was also thinking it'd be nice to see recommendations separated from the hosting. I guess there just aren't enough people interested in it.
My brother is a Joiner, and had laboriously educated me (usually by being shouted & screamed at) when I'm doing dumb things on his panel saw.

I asked him one day about saw stop and his comment was surprising.

1. Good workshop behaviour is always safe.

2. The blade is all but destroyed in stopping so quickly. (A small price to pay, really)

3. He cited places that used saw stops had the highest levels of work place accidents... Which increased after having them installed... I think he mentioned that yes, no fingers lost though.

So, i think this device is wonderful, but can have nearly equally dire consequences, because it seems to breed poor safety.
You'd only need rclone if you wanted to use OneDrive with restic, because restic doesn't have direct OneDrive support.

Several other cloud backup programs do have OneDrive support built in, including Arq, duplicity, duplicati, duplicacy, and GoodSync. There are probably others.
Very much non-news article in my opinion. I don't see anything new here in the image restyling processes or anything unique - it's just applying existing algos with a racial spin.
Seems like a rather grand claim to make without supporting evidence. The military have little incentive to be cost effective due to the sanctity of military budgets in the USA, and by construction they use very few local resources which is inefficient.

Maybe you are right about the second claim if you impose the rather arbitrary restriction of ”foreign military force”, but rather obviously the first responders are always the locals. If those happens to include US forces it is a reflection of the maximalist approach to foreign policy the USA follows rather than a feat of logistics.
I've used Acronis for about 10 years now. Got one set going to the cloud, one to the NAS, and once in a while a third to an external HDD I keep elsewhere.

It has saved me a few times. In particular it saved my ass when my brand new OCZ SSD died on me on day 2. Due to being full-disk backups, I was back up and running in 30 minutes on a spare HDD with no essential data loss.
I doubt Apple sees Facebook as any kind of threat. There is already a far more plausible messaging bridge from iOS to Android called Hangouts and it hasn't really been effective for that. People aren't staying with iPhone because they're trapped by imessage.
I've noticed how prevalent the "BuzzFeed News isn't BuzzFeed, it's totally different and actually does some decent journalism" meme has been in the past couple years, to the point where I caught myself explaining it to someone that way, with zero first-hand knowledge, just repeating the meme more or less verbatim.
A lot of this was used in Ramadi the year before.
>Going into effect in a year? Seems like a business opportunity.

GDPR was law two years before it came in to effect and everyone left it until the last ~month.
I worked in marketing early in my career, and this is actually a very common practice (not saying it makes it right, but it's definitely not just Amazon). Usually it's not done out of a desire to waste things or a hatred of the poor, but rather to protect against brand dilution and also to protect sales. If you could just wait until a product "expires" and then go get it for free somewhere, that would harm sales. Also, if a premium brand (say Apple) couldn't sell a certain product and so donated a bunch, then the Apple logo (which many people view as a status symbol) would be diluted. You also can't just store stuff in perpetuity as it takes time and money to do that. The only logical choice (as Mr. Spock would say) is to destroy the items.

Consider a real scenario that recurs annually. Big game, let's say the Super Bowl. One side will win. At the end of the game on the way out of the stadium, there will be a lot of t-shirts for sale that declare "Team X Super Bowl LIII Champions!" Those shirts weren't printed on the spot, which means there are also a number of shirts with the losing team proclaimed as winner. Those obviously can't be sold. Back in the day they would be donated to third world areas, but then some of those shirts started finding their way onto eBay and sports collector sites, causing massive problems between the various entities involved in the manufacturing, sale, and licensing. As a result they now just trash the unsalable shirts.

I'm not saying it's right, in fact I find it disgusting. I grew up in a family that reused cereal boxes and almost any other container, particular glass. Although I'm not that diligent anymore I still have that instinctive desire.

However, there is a lot more to this practice than this (one-sided) article presents.
Already starting to deal with this where I work. It’s gonna be interesting...
> The difference in our argument is that I think it's important for good people to be involved in their government in order to support these western ideals and work to do the right thing.

In principle maybe, but not under the what's being played out in the US. Given you have these principles I should put more faith in you and hope that you don't murder me when it's convenient? An intelligence agency is not the government and vice-versa. It only reflects the people's mandate in just its core function, intelligence among other things.
Yup. However, at least you don't really need a Mac for that, as there are external tools to resign and install ipa files.
Thank you for your comment, moshiasri!

We didn't really give much thought towards the mission / vision of the app. We got the idea while attending an entrepreneurship event and saw it as an opportunity to start working on new projects on a weekly basis so we could train ourselves to create prototypes a lot faster.
Firebase Realtime was basically a Mysql instance which Google ended up with when they bought the Firebase ecosystem. Not scaleable at all. You see hints about this in some places when they talk about using it in production. I am sure some Google engineer went nuts when he saw what they have to support now.

Firestore is a complete engineered Google solution based on the Google Datastore but with added features from recent years (spanner, cloud functions). This is very obvious if you compare the limits between Datastore and Firestore.

IMHO they are not really comparable.
Probably something like this:

XX% of Google employees are non-technical

XX% of Google employees don't use Mac as their laptop platform

XX% of Google employees have a locked-down Mac that isn't allowed to run XCode or locally-compiled binaries because their job role isn't in Engineering
Especially when websites use secret questions as a means to reset second factor..
As a small team's CTO doing both product management and engineering, I'd say product management is the more difficult role. Might be because I'm not as experienced, but despite having a natural aptitude for it and even after having gone through training and spent a lot of time doing it, I find the job damn hard. You're the broker for a lot of unstructured information and have to fend off all kinds of disruptive influences to land even close to where you're trying to go. I have immense respect for product leaders at innovative organizations.
It's the difference between punching up and punching down.
All is fair in love and war?

Things are obviously getting a bit ridiculous. Part of me thinks that something awful is going to have to happen before society stops these companies from pursuing everything they feel they need to.

Hopefully it won't be too late when that realisation becomes crystal clear to the majority.
That's just iPhones having good security and sandboxing. None of that goes away if Apple allows people to use enterprise certs to distribute software.
I think Flash itself could export SVG. Illustrator got that ability, too. Can't remember how much animation/interaction there was, though.
I don’t object to them doing it, but I do object to the fact that they have the ability to do it.

IMO, it is very, very wrong that Apple is judge, jury, and executioner in this case.

Also, in today’s world, this potentially could be disastrous, not only for the company affected, but also for the world at large, for example if Google depends on internal apps for informing employees about emergencies such as “hacking like activity on our servers or even “data center on fire”.
Seconding this. Get their kit with the dongle and dipole antennas for VHF and UHF, plus optionally an antenna for HF. Just plug it in, make your antennas the right length for the spectrum you want to explore, and fire up SDR# or CubicSDR to see what signals are present.

My point is that you're missing the point. This debate isn't about whether lidar works or not. Whether lidars are capable of capturing images is not the question we're trying to answer. The question is whether applying lidar to self-driving technology is worth the tradeoffs. Your last paragraph is a point about software not hardware. You're suggesting by using lidar, you give software more information than just using camera, which causes software to be faster. This is a valid point. But you cannot say, using lidar in a self-driving car is a good idea because it successfully captured the image even though software failed to process that image to make the correct decision. Well, if lidar doesn't help software (and it does) it'd just be useless crap. If Uber engineers don't know how to process lidar data, they really shouldn't put lidar in their cars... It's not about hardware or software, it's about the system as a whole.
They keep promoting Algolia. Actually once of the firebase engineer mentioned why to build search when already Algolia solves it. I was like, wow.
No, they still needed to revoke the cert because the app was still hanging out on users' devices. The only way to ensure that those apps are dead, from Apple's perspective, is to revoke the cert
I am in very similar boat, years of experience as back-end dev but struggling with "simple" css for layout.

what helped me is understanding flexbox and realizing you can use negative margins.
I think Java is just 99% of JVM languages while other ones together take whopping 1% share of JVM languages.
Wow. Yeah, that sounds awful. You're absolutely right that pursuing 100% coverage in integration tests is bad too, perhaps even worse. I just haven't seen that in my own direct experience. Having too few requirements around integration tests seems like a far more common problem than having too many.
Agree to disagree. Messenger and WhatsApp are more advanced and combine the social dynamic to chats. They’ve also made a lot of headway in competing with FaceTime. Which apps would Apple have a distinct advantage of it loses iMessage and FaceTime?

Edit: to elaborate I don’t mean a direct bridge to android, rather a substitute for iMessage that’s available on iOS and Android which makes switching relatively painless.
Does everyone downvote all medical speculation in the numerous health threads on this site?

No.

It's fine for people to speculate about medical ideas, legal ideas, etc. Especially on a forum like this where there is no pretense that people are offering genuine legal advice.

Setting aside potential flaws in your thesis, theoretically the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) can be circumvented by making the state the real party in interest but permitting a victim to sue and recover on behalf of the state. Because the state wouldn't be a party to any contract (and also because it's a state), the FAA wouldn't apply.

California does this for labor violations through it's Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA): https://www.dir.ca.gov/Private-Attorneys-General-Act/Private...

Glancing at the Wikipedia page for CCPA, it's possible that the CCPA is structured similarly--"Companies ... can be ordered in civil class action lawsuits ... subject to an option of the California Attorney General's Office to prosecute the company instead of allowing civil suits to be brought against it."

That said, I don't think California's PAGA has ever been tested vis-a-vis the FAA in the Supreme Court because it was only recently that they decided to strictly apply the FAA to employment contracts.
Company-on-company support is an entirely different thing from customer support. These are developers with direct lines to one another. Google isn't filing a support ticket at an Apple Store.

I should of narrowed my statement to VGA under DOS. You had to either manually poll 3dAh, or best case scenario politely ask VESA (SetDisplayStart) to page flip during vsync for you, but even that wasnt always working (for example Quake had a manual switch and treated it as something experimental). Interrupt was a remnant from CGA/EGA standard support, crapshoot on VGA cards.

Yea but the $25mil portion of the clause is the only one I see an excuse for, if you're saying that -all- businesses generating X revenue or higher need to comply with a regulation then it's good to make sure X is high enough that businesses in unrelated fields will be able to afford the cost of compliance without going bankrupt.

The other two categories specifically target companies that really should comply with this law - I assume the $25mil clause is there to make sure large companies can't loop hole themselves out of this somehow (offload PII responsibility onto a subsidiary or a "third party" that is incorporated in Bermuda by the owner of the company)
Duh, RTFM. The donor gave his seed anon and you agreed to it. What do you want now...if a person wants to come out publicly a donor #AGF2145, that's their prerogative, not yours.
I 100% agree with you. I should be able to run any code on my device (after I flip a bit and it gets wiped). The first thing I've done with every Nexus or Pixel purpose is to wipe and root it.

But that's not what this is about. Apple has been enforcing these rules for years. F.lux tried to get around the App Store by reaching users how to sideload via Xcode. Apple killed it.

The big players should be subject to the same rules. If they want to run their own code, they can't just flagrantly ignore Apple's TOS.

I'm also onboard with the Nielsen metaphor but not for kids. And both were scummy in targeting kids (though FB was definitely worse judging from marketing materials).
What if Apple bought Duckduckgo?

I researched it and most sites seem to agree on the fact that at least 4% of websites are sex-related, seems a lot more realistic to me.

I think the study is classifying normal sex-related websites as "Content" and porn filled parkings domains as "Porn".
For the benefit of others, it's also worth pointing out that the author isn't talking about "integration tests" but "integrated tests" (as he defines it).

Integration tests = testing individual software modules as a group/combination.

Integrated tests = instead of testing one behavior at a time, multiple behaviors are tested simultaneously. (or in the author's words: "any test whose result (pass or fail) depends on the correctness of the implementation of more than one piece of non-trivial behavior.")

Integration tests are very important.
Curious - what do you use? any suggestions of good serverless NoSQL? with the built in auth and extras Google/Firebase offer? What about relational? I've used Back4App, but with it being small and FB having killed Parse, it wasn't right.
