Support trick: Automatically receive the IP addresses of remote computers (2012)
It's not Apple's oversight of the app store that is the problem Warren is targeting, it is the participation. Apple can either take 30% from Spotify or have iTunes, not both. Similar argument for Amazon and Amazon Basics.

The article does raise an interesting point though about not thinking of these companies as "tech"; the Amazon argument can be applied to any private label I guess, hence the point about unintended consequences.

It is an interesting concept though, almost like the logical extension of the net neutrality argument. DirecTV, HBO and ATT merging would be something that directly runs foul of this. You either get to provide the platform (be an ISP) or be a content producer, not both.
This seems like another case where the alternate of "...or simply use the DeBroglie Bohm interpretation and most of the mysticism of this goes away."

I'm not remotely an expert in this, but non-locality always seems like the "simpliest" explanation. Like two boat floating on a lake, things you do in your boat that create waves can affect me in my boat even though our boats never touch.

The world around us has a similar lake surface which explains all of this without giving up objective reality.

Every QM article I read, I try to repicture using DeBroglie Bohm and it always gives an easier to grasp, although less sensational explanation.

It surprises me it's never presented.
Ha! At the risk of sounding self-promotional, I have been motivated to do it back in 2011. Started a company to do just that. Never took VC. I think it was ahead of its time, but there was A LOT to build. Now it’s more needed than ever.

We’re going to see more and more defensive content come out and it’s only going to help Warren. Strategically she’s positioned herself well, she could easily be the most publicized democratic candidate because of this topic alone.

Unfortunately, as other sibling commenters here have pointed out, this "process" has been how web standards have been done for some time. We've been collectively done with the pretense that the Web is anything other than what Google dictates since ~2004.
To take this analogy further, it is interesting that by say 1976, we seem to have already realized that what you need to make voice devices actually useful is a screen and a GUI.
These times are, indeed, wonderful.

From 1970 to today, air travel has increased tenfold, while fatalities have deccreased by the same factor of 10.

Combined, your risk of dying on any given flight is only 1% of what it was in the hay day of stick-and-rudder pilot bros.

I don't understand the end-to-end encryption claim.

1. Bob uploads a file, but specifies no password.

2. ???

3. Sue downloads the file.

Best case, Bob's browser encrypts it (with javascript?) before uploading. Either Mozilla provides a key, or Bob sends the key he used. When Sue's browser downloads it, Mozilla sends the key and her browser decrypts it client side.

In either case, Mozilla has the password for decryption. This makes a mild barrier to mass scanning content that's uploaded, so at least that's something... but that's little more than a promise I have to trust.

Am I missing something? Where is the "end-to-end" encryption? End-to-end means I don't have to trust you (as much). Please don't turn this into a meaningless buzzword...

EDIT: I did misunderstand something. Please see timvisee's comment below.
Yup, that was a major barrier for us. Worth noting that they charge this much even if you want to use a Let's Encrypt cert [0].

For vendors, the situation looks different - and Amazon certainly does abuse their position towards vendors often enough, e.g. with the AmazonBasics program where they take bestselling stuff, produce it at Amazon scales and then outprice the "competition".

I bought the odroid-go, and found it a fun "console". Out of the box it emulates a few systems, and I found a ZX Spectrum emulator too.

Debian had a much more rigorous packaging policy than Red Hat/Fedora Core early on (the same policy that slows down development and annoys developers today, as you can see in the various recent HN threads) and way more packages in the main repos.

Using RH easily led you into an "rpm hell" of packages from various third-party repos that conflicted: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependency_hell#Platform-speci...

Now they're both comparable. Yum/dnf are ok, the rpm repos are big. And apt actually has "apt", the tool, that consolidates those separate tools you mention. Before it had aptitude (since at least 2006 or so, I'd say) but it wasn't used much, but now apt is installed by default and you can use it. No more "apt-get", "apt-cache", etc.

So today, nothing makes one of them substantially better, IMO.
Does Files actually allow transfer with desktops or laptops? It sounds like it only transfers between Android devices.

The fact that they let you bring your own laptop is a good sign. In big french corp, they give you very slow laptop on which they installed a windows with a lot of security so that you can't install work-related programs like docker or sometime even intellij. The french big corp work station is a nightmare and a reason not to work for them by itself.

If you can bring your own laptop, at least you can choose one which can do the job. Big improvement compared to big corp laptop.

Your assumption is that The cause was the plane, but neither Ethiopian nor Lion Air have great safety records in the first place. Parent’s point is that the FAA is likely to be more aware of whether the cause in the first crash was due to the plane, pilot error, weather, or any number of other factors.

[edit] Apparently I’m incorrect about their safety records - my bad, the one time I trusted a friend and didn’t look into it myself, haha. I still maintain that it isn’t clear yet that it was the plane’s design, but I retract my comments on the safety record. Carry on and please quit the downvoting heh. :)

Lots of ethical questions about this that are just never answered. Is it okay to funnel capital into another country that is vastly different from the US in terms of politics, market, etc.?

“We’ll fund a lot of people doing a lot of things that sound really dumb, and most of the time they will be. And some of the time, it will seem like a bad idea and be jaw-droppingly brilliant. The very best startup ideas are at the intersection of the Venn diagram of, ‘sounds like a bad idea,’ ‘is in fact a good idea.'”

This particular quote from Altman just reminds me of PG's essay on why smart people have bad ideas: http://www.paulgraham.com/bronze.html

> “American Airlines extends our condolences to the families and friends of those on board Ethiopian Airlines flight 302. At this time there are no facts on the cause of the accident other than news reports,”

American Airlines' statement feels a little disingenuous considering it is ignoring the context of the Ethiopian Airlines crash. The Lion Air crash has significantly more than just "news reports" including the FAA Emergency Airworthiness Directive (2018-23-51) and a Continued Airworthiness Directive (2019-03-11), and a preliminary report.

AA's "full confidence" in the aircraft seems to contradict even the FAA which has already requested that Boeing make changes to the aircraft.
https://boeing.mediaroom.com/news-releases-statements?item=1...

> For the past several months and in the aftermath of Lion Air Flight 610, Boeing has been developing a flight control software enhancement for the 737 MAX, designed to make an already safe aircraft even safer. This includes updates to the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) flight control law, pilot displays, operation manuals and crew training. The enhanced flight control law incorporates angle of attack (AOA) inputs, limits stabilizer trim commands in response to an erroneous angle of attack reading, and provides a limit to the stabilizer command in order to retain elevator authority.

That they're pushing a software patch for this would seem to indicate there's something in the actual plane worth fixing.
I disagree completely.

People who choose chrome because of a view UX enhancements, or choose Google because Gmail syncs better than iCal/idav, or decide to use Google search over duckduckgo because of blah, is the reason why Giant Corporations rule the planet.

Why not support the underdog that actually cares about your privacy and liberties, rather than choosing an option that feeds the beast and sends us down a path to a dystopian future complete with global surveillance?
The client encrypts the file that is uploaded, along with some metadata. The key is appended to the share URL provided by the URL, in the fragment/hash, and is never sent to the remote server. Only people having the URL including the secret will be able to download and decrypt your shared file. See https://github.com/mozilla/send/blob/master/docs/encryption....

When each instance costs over a hundred lives, you can't afford to wait to establish the pattern for sure. Better to be cautious. The vast majority of planes flying these routes aren't yet the 737 MAX.

But this should be up to the user. I mean if your 1 million BTC account is protected through a phone number, someone might want to still do it that way.

Most users don't even have Bitcoin but normal bank account which are oftentimes protected by different second factors. It would be nice if they would provide different options. For me it would suck if someone hacked my E-Mail but I could reclaim it quickly and the damage would be very limited.
I had always been into technology and computers and had a few friends who were programmers, my mentor was a programmer, my dad was a programmer as well.

In high school I didn't always get along with the old man so I hadn't wanted to be a programmer honestly. But one time I had to do some VB with MS Excel for class and found it to be a lot of fun! I knew that it was kind of 'fake' boring programming compared to the stuff programmers do on the day to day, so I decided to learn real programming and now here I am almost 10 years later.

I think that you'll need to find a way to incorporate programming into some other domain that they fancy rather than trying to just introduce them to programming for the sake of it.
Not just in the UK. I would wager he's a household name in many houses the entire world over. His contribution to making physics accessible to everyone is... I fail to locate a word of sufficient magnitude to describe just how important and what an inspiration he was.

Mounting MTP is transparent to the user on non-apple OSes as well. You can drag and drop files as you could when it was when mounting the VFAT block device. Its only on MacOS that this isn't handled gracefully.

So yeah, apple is only mobile you cant do this on at all, and apple is only desktop OS you cant access other phones that permit it on (without installing some 3rd party tool).

As an aside, I write this as an apple user (iphone, ipad, watch, macbook pro), and Im feeling quite infuriated thinking back on this.
I wonder if they'll try to get compensation (or if they can). Must be having a terrible impact on their business.

The nation also passes muster with the EU’s European Aviation Safety Agency regulations.

Boeing is an American company. I'm not saying it is a factor but...
The issue is that Boeing added a software layer to make the plane behave like the old 737, so pilots would be able to fly it without any extra training or additional certifications.

If it turns out that the pilots actually need some training to reliably fly the 737 MAX, there could be some nasty consequences for Boeing.
I'd say the opposite. Probably 99% of people in this thread has never sent a fax.
> An Alexa device can operate on its own.

Only if you conveniently ignore the AWS services it uses.
That seems like the weakest part of the argument — Walmart, Kroger, Walgreens, Costco, and every other major retailer has a similar program.

All use sales data to determine what sells best and copy it. I did this for a decade, designing store brand medical devices for all the major retailers.

There are plenty of legitimate critiques of Amazon. The "private label" one is by far the weakest.
They purposely minimized the differences so it wouldn't require a new type certification, which saves airlines money and thus makes the plane a more appealing proposition.

It does seem to be partly operator error, and that operator error is Boeing's fault because they did things in a way that maximized the chance of it occurring.
The eternal problem of uploading and sharing massive files seems to always have new solutions.

That is the Italian test, but when I try to open a new account I get shown the exact price shown to me in the 'test': €15.99 in Firefox that is (but this will be random for anyone giving this a go).
It seems vulnerable to an active MitM - if the attacker is in a position to serve malicious JS that exfiltrates the data from window.location.hash.

I think the scheme is fairly robust against passive interception though.

The problem is that Alexa is just a consumer voice command line. UI discoverability is impossible, and everything that you can do is just a utility that does something else. There are no native apps because everything that it can do is just an IO to something else. If they actually get conversational, this will change, but until then, it’s just a command line with no man page.
