That does appear to be the case, however attempt to commit a crime is a crime. If prosecutions under that theory are not happening now, they're one "get tough on drugs" prosecutor away from happening.
The issue isn't typing them. The issue is that many "Security Questions" are secretly "Phone Passwords" because customer service representatives can see them in plaintext and will ask you them if you ever have reason to call them over the phone. Making sure that they are pronounceable (mostly) English words avoids some of the potential awkwardness of reading them out of your password manager over the phone, even if they are intentional random gibberish. It also partly avoids the social engineering trap of "it's just random garbage" because at least if it looks like words a customer service rep may still ask for them anyway rather than not bother to one-at-a-time review a series of random characters.
I don't know why this would get downvoted. Seems reasonable, whether it's Snopes or anyone.

Similar to Apple claiming "it just works", you better make sure it works. Or Google proclaiming "don't be evil". Etc.
No loss for Facebook.

I've had vigorous discussions about Snopes with friends. I'm mostly conservative, I feel Snopes has a liberal bias. My liberal friends feel otherwise.

After much back-and-forth, what we found is this:
- Snopes seems to be careful about printing only true things
- But Snopes controls the narrative and decides which issues to fact-check. They seem to publish a lot more material that validates left-leaning opinions than right-leaning ones

At the time of last checking, Snopes had a single political fact-checker, she was a staunch Democrat.

You claimed: "existing lawyers have already commented on this to no end and disputed endlessly the idea that anyone in this arena would be considered a contractor"

But now there are... none? So you hallucinated their comments?

And you can't identify any way the panelists don't meet the multiple 'contractor' definitions I've provided?

And you've apparently forgotten that the Apple terms explicitly allow the enterprise's contractors, as part of the definition of "Permitted Users".

I've stated elsewhere that the apps may have violated another aspect of the Enterprise Terms, about the use of the "Network Extension Framework". And further that even if the use was OK by the current terms, Apple has the power to change them.

And both Apple and Google would rather this go away, so Google isn't going to go-to-the-legal-mat with their best arguments unless this platform cold war gets a lot hotter. (In particular, some of the best anti-competition arguments that could be made about Apple's behavior are arguments Google wouldn't want made against its own behaviors elsewhere.)

So no, Google's admission of error is strategic kiss-and-make-nice rather than dispositive on the terms, and especially doesn't hinge on your insistence that these contracted workers aren't 'contractors'.

And finally, the "legal blog" URL you've provided (<https://legalforgood.com/grantswhatsthedifferencebetweenaven...) identifies "vendors" as... a kind of contractor! I quote:

"A Vendor, in contrast, is just a contractor who provides goods and/`or services to the recipient so the recipient can accomplish the project’s purposes. Selected terms and conditions might be passed through to the vendor."

It's an inappropriate reference, anyway, since it's specifically talking about the lingo of federal grants, not more general agreements. But if you're imagining lawyers-in-the-conversation who aren't here, and supplying links that explicitly refute your claim of a bright-line vendor/contractor distinction, I think we're done. Good day, sir!
Oddly enough, the major reason I don't trust their investigative reporting was one of the articles that made them a 2018 Pulitzer finalist: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18947852 It was pretty much a conspiracy theory about Russian mind control chemicals disguised as a long-form article about the British police ignoring the supposed assassination of a scientist by the Russians.

It wasn't extra capacity so much as making some of the internal tools publicly available, and it took off.

I believe SQS was the first publicly available service. EC2 was obviously the tipping point and that was a couple of years later.
It’s like the BBC in the UK - half the population think it’s left biased and the other half think it’s right biased.
Bad things can happen to it, but at least nobody futzes with it all the time. Most of e.g. Google's major outages (Cloud and Borg) are configuration error or human error. I run my own systems very conservatively. I use conservative technology choices, my kernels are years behind bleeding edge (although I do install security updates, of course), and I don't try to fix or "improve" what's not broken because my paycheck does not depend on that. And in the unlikely event something does get fucked up, I can fix it within less than an hour and I'm the only one affected. It's also extremely unlikely to have any kind of "global" outage.

Don't get me wrong, I use cloud (GCP, if you must know) too, and if my business grew massively, I'd probably use it more. But frankly I'm more satisfied with my own "on prem" solution. Single rack which basically pays for itself every 3 months or so in cloud costs, what's not to like?
It's presumably intended as way to reclaim space now taken up by effectively-random garbage rather than a security measure.
Ever upwards abstraction my friend. Seriously, I thought Kubernetes would be it, but now all my coworkers are trying to get me to use Istio, which at first glance seems to be ... a managed containerization for different Kubernetes managed containers?

Turtles all the way down I guess, which now I’ll have to spend all weekend on researching unfortunately.
Exactly, it's a garbage website anyway.
"GNUmake is required, but you are running FreeBSD".

Not saying it's not available there, not all platforms have all software available right away or up to date.

Even then, upgrading CMake is the easiest thing ever: "pip install cmake". Or fetch it from the Github releases page quickly, it's always available as static binaries for all major platforms.
Spot on. You don't need to lie when you control which truths are allowed to be told.
So I in fact work on the maps team. There is absolutely no _personal_ incentive for me (or anyone on my team) to help Google collect more location data. I will not get a bonus for it, I will not get an increased perf rating for it, any benefit I would get from it (increased stock price, I guess?) is so completely abstracted away that it simply does not register.

There is an incentive to have increased usage of the features I'm in charge of, many of which are intrinsically tied to (or superior with) location access. I don't believe that's the same as incentivizing the collection of location data, because it's not our real goal - if Apple would provide it I would absolutely love to provide users with a 'one-shot' location feature (it's probably too clumsy but the idea is when the user hits e.g. the directions button, the OS pops up a permission box and if they agree then maps gets one and only one GPS fix and then the permission is back off).

True. But even the worst AWS offerings ahemEKSahem are still integrated across the product line. You can expect easy integration with other AWS services. And indeed what little it offers, it's integrated (AWS AutoScaling groups, NLBs, IAM, etc)

Azure's AKS is way better as a whole, but until recently, wasn't integrated with their own scalesets. How does that even happen?

To be fair to Azure, AKS is an example on how to rollout features. All the knobs are there (even more so than GKE, you can even set cluster ip ranges), it just works and no silly surprises. At least, I haven't found surprising behavior yet.

> The targeting algorithm is often wrong, they just don't seem to know it be willing to admit it.

It doesn't matter if their targeting algorithm is wrong. It just has to be 1) better than random and 2) not significantly worse than anyone else's.

In fact, even that isn't necessary. It just has to be perceived as those two things by those who are willing to give Google or Amazon money to try to improve their chances of selling you stuff.
I don’t disagree at all. Far too often, people wait too long to optimize away from a vendor’s offering. Their margin is your opex. Put that money back in your pocket.
Coming from someone without a CS degree. Learn that every problem you are solving is for a person in the end. Learn to communicate with people, learn to break down problems and explain them and focus on people.

If you can do this, even if you are only "good" as a developer you will surpass the vast majority of CS grads and make far more money in your career.

I fully admit plenty of devs are probably better at specific things than I am, but few bridge the gaps I do between business, marketing and development. That makes me odd, but also makes me valuable and useful to almost any business. I am also highly competent in architecture, design and can adapt quickly, so that has been helpful, but I have met many others like me as well, many without a CS degree.

For my part, I have also raised my kids to understand that being able to apply what you know and learn is more valuable than feeling you know everything or having some specific degree. In the end I prefer to think that education never ends and a degree is just a stamp at a given time, it doesn't necessarily make someone more valuable or more intelligent than another.
It's just a label describing a programmer who typically works on both front and backend.

Not all developers want to or can work on both sides.

Why was an essay written about this? seems pointless to me.
I'm a recent convert to 'Boglehead' investing. Among the principles Bogleheads follow, we don't like to pick individual stocks-- index funds are far safer.

> I don't want to have to input into an app, an hour ahead of time to get where I need to go.

Sure. Get around this by having preset schedules. Or infer it. These details matter, but you can point out similar issues for public transit as it exists today and for private car ownership as it exists today: both are commonly used, despite drawbacks.

> If "on demand mass transit via large multipeople vehicles (IE busses)" were feasible, then you'd already see companies like Uber doing it.

Not at all. Uber and Lyft are premised on having a large base of independent contractors to perform all the labor and provide all the capital. "Large multipeople vehicles" would require complicated integrations with different municipalities, or for Uber/Lyft to purchase their own fleet of buses. Neither aligns well with their current businesses.

> On demand point to point, where you don't have to wait a dozen stops to get where you want, is just strictly better than the alternatives in many many ways.

Sure. And shared rides is strictly better in one very important way: cost. I'm much less cost-sensitive than the average American, and I take Lyft Line far more often than a regular Lyft.

It's not about what's best, but best in certain situations. I value latency sometimes, and cost sometimes.
Classic car insurance is more expensive because they are more expensive to fix. Insurance for a piece of property is proportional to the risks of damage to or caused by the property, which shouldn't change much in a landscape with self driving cars in play

I think it’s inevitable. Cloud providers will continue to move up the stack so other firms can focus more resources on their unique and differentiated offerings. It just seems like in the future most companies shouldn’t have any notion of servers/containers etc, they will only focus on their core business logic. We’ll just keep going upupupupup.

So usually the EM is either "Technical" or "Non-Technical".

The Technical EM is more about design, architecture and progress, and sometimes helping the team to get code out the door.

The Non Technical EM is more about this. The technical EM would communicate through a PR, say instead of having 1-on-1's.

Edit: They said in the article they used to give coding problems to engineering manager candidates, and then in the onsite interview, they found their managing ability is so far off of what they were expecting.

So they're making a shift from a Technical Managers to Non Technical Managers.
I think what you said about choosing what to fact check is true, however, it is also true that spreading propaganda/intentional false information is a massive problem on the right, and a much smaller problem on the left. It exists and is an issue, but there is a massive industry on the right that willfully spreads false information and it encompasses almost every conservative media outlet. All of the big political commentators on the right do it constantly all the way up to the president who tells nonstop lies.
I think app stores are a great discovery tool for PWA. Searching for PWA in a centralize marketplace will most likely be one the tipping points of PWA, and putting amd emphasis on the "app" point.

If their goal is to be the same as native apps, putting them together makes them even closer to that objective
One of the reasons Dashiell Hammett's hard-boiled fiction is so good is that he actually worked for the Pinkertons as an operative before getting into writing.
Once you cite a website that is called angrywhitemen you lose almost all credibility. Everyone should learn to code. That has been the narrative pushed by the media, nothing wrong with throwing it back in their face. Some people getting some unpleasant messages on Twitter doesn’t diminish the humour from this situation. And I’d hardly call anyone that used to work at Huffington Post or Buzzfeed a journalist, given the amount of drivel and clickbate they spew out.

I do admit I see the BBC as left-leaning.

I just finished reading a BBC article on Jussie Smollett, the actor in the news this week. The BBC article gave no hint the issue under discussion is anything less than accepted fact as Smollett presents it. A review of police findings (especially video reviews) suggests there is much to be investigated.

I can't see how the BBC justifies this.

I don't see how that transfers. Paying fees to Apple also might not apply with Fandango, as it delivers a service fulfilled physically and not digitally. I would suspect the ad bombing in the Fandango app is due to razor thin margins in the movie tickets purchasing business.
When I was interested in “survival” type topics back in the 80’s, there were a few magazines devoted to the topic, and I remember an ad for a large collection/library of useful basic information (how to make soap, butcher an animal, etc.) all placed on microfilm cards and came with a simple mechanical magnifier/reader. No power or fancy tech required.
> If you have history on the server turned on, then there's only one set of data, you don't need to overwrite the local data with anything.

This is a bad assumption and why you would ruin a product like google maps if given the opportunity.

Google already had this problem for years with Contacts. I had local contacts on my phone, and contacts stored in my google account. It was a complete clusterfuck of duplicates, stale data, etc. Years later after I had this problem, Google added a fairly complicated power-user tool that let you reconcile this data. And then years after that, the tool became not-a-power-user tool and wasn't bad.

But we're still talking years of issues, for data that is probably a hell of a lot less complicated than what maps stores.

edit: And that said, I still have issues every now and then with that contact reconciler tool, it doesn't always do the right thing.
wow you're app is really nice! superfast too

> But now there are... none? So you hallucinated their comments?

I linked one on the open web. I've linked others in my past comments...

> And you've apparently forgotten that the Apple terms explicitly allow the enterprise's contractors, as part of the definition of "Permitted Users".

It actually doesn't. The constraint is employees or persons who are obligated to protect the internal use application from unauthorized use. Screenwise Meter has no NDA or other substantive clause (from what I can google) binding its users to protect it from unauthorized use per the definition of Permitted Users apple put down on paper. Should be noted that this is also one of the general distinctions between most vendors v. most contractors producing work for hire.

---

Google admitted to a mistake you're still saying they didn't make, in contradiction to "go-to-the-legal-mat with their best arguments unless this platform cold war gets a lot hotter." They just went on the record saying what they were doing was wrong. Which gives them a mighty hard time in the public arena trying to repeat it.

> I think we're done. Good day, sir!

So you're right, we're quite done. I still wouldn't have taken the position you took up with your name attached to it on the open internet, but you do you.
> My Mac got a kernel panic yesterday. My response is not to swear off Apple products forever.

Yet your response is to downvote everything you disagree with?

Not swearing off Apple products forever is your personal choice. Personally I agree with that. But I know plenty of people who DO choose to swear off Apple products when something doesn't work. That's also their choice, and I don't have a problem with that.

Let's cut the bullshit.

Facebook never really had a real interest in removing fake news from their site. Being a repository for fake news drives a lot of traffic. Eliminating fake news would cost money in both the costs for finding and removing it and the lost revenue from traffic.
You're making it out to be irrelevant, but the context here is why it might be given 'disproportionate' (through an American lens) coverage on the website of the British Broadcasting Company.
Couple things. Pinkerton's president Jack Zahran says what next, a game where Coke poisons people- well in fact, Coca-Cola has a pretty awful past and present of hiring "the pinkertons" of south america to murder and "disappear" labor organizers. That's something Coke lives with.

The pinkertons do have an awful history and its something they have to live with- they also have a pretty awful present, if you've ever worked with their international physical site auditors. I have and they were hired by an employer for my direction, and were awful. I put aside the historical context I knew of the company because in fact I was hiring a totally different company in the 2010's.. and reached the same conclusion. Thuggish, awful translation, basically came off as a hired gun, when they were supposed to be craftspeople of gentle mutually agreed site security audits.
