Surely a phone number is no more identifying than a credit card payment in the age of KYC.

And accepting a cryptocurrency would probably have little impact on all the lucrative scams that get spammed around Twitter.
The ToS of those providers prohibit the use of that except with explicit consent. I'm aware that the providers do little verification that consent was given, but I'm doubt that established companies such as facebook or twitter are going to risk a PR fiasco to get better anti-fraud numbers.

And how many billion will that cost... Let's consider we have over 300 million people in the USA, and even $1K/person on average (it will be more) is $300 Billion (with a B)... added to the Federal Budget... it will be at least 2-3X that not even accounting for abuse.
This is true. Congress leader, Indira Gandhi, suspended Indian democracy and assumed the titled of dictator for few years when she lost an election. She also jailed many people including many political leaders that are still active today. Her son engaged in forced sterilizations and another son brought in a bill to kill the press called "defamation bill".

We need to recognize that’s it’s not just the right that can go authoritarian, but the left too.

Authoritarianism isn’t a symptom of far-leaning political views but a failure in systems of checks and balances.

Xi Jinping is a perfect example of a current failure of system of checks and balances when he removed term limits.

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is another example of a failure of system of checks and balances.

Saddam Hussein was a failure of system of checks and balances too.
> I don't thing it is healthy to have big entities like this control fundamental services like payment processing... How long before activists start making this a new vector for deplatforming?

You're misunderstanding how card networks work a little bit here. This is a credit card, not a payment processing service. Two different sides of the network. "Deplatforming" refers to getting kicked off a given payment processor, which is an entity that gives a merchant access to a card network (in this case Mastercard).

Perhaps issuers like Goldman Sachs could start banning their customers from using their card at certain merchants. But this wouldn't come from Apple -- they've already said they've engineered themselves out of that kind of control.
Maybe Dan should've told a story instead of leaving HN room to bicker about his vague "solution" ;)

At that kind of task, the "main" CPU isn't that relevant: It's hopelessly underpowered to actually handle the traffic anyways, so the more important question for performance is what the data plane hardware can do without getting help from the CPU.

> That last part turned out to be wrong.

Well, it was true when the abstract machine described by a CPU datasheet was closer to the one actually running the code. But people decided it was better to run all the code through a real-time optimizing interpreter, and didn't check the interpreter for security.

We'll get secure machines back at some point. One or two manufacturers may die on the process.

The reason is that different points on the "spectrum of depression" may be entirely different diseases.

For a hypothetical example, it would be entirely possible that people who are sub-clinically depressed turn out to be more-often-than-not lacking in dopamine (due to e.g. Seasonal Affective Disorder), where their depression is secondary to things like fatigue and lack of focus brought about by this. These people would do better with exercise or vitamin D or light therapy or a dose of Wellbutrin... but SSRIs or meditation or behavioral-activation therapy or other "things that help people who are clinically depressed" wouldn't help at all.

"Clinical depression" isn't a disease (= a particular mechanism that causes symptoms.) It is, instead, a syndrome—a name for a cluster of symptoms that get studied because we have no good tests to isolate a particular etiology (cause) in each case. Different etiologies have different best treatments.

Since we can't isolate the etiologies well enough to name them, we can at least refer to "sub-clinical depression", "clinical depression", "treatment-resistant depression", etc. as separate syndromes, such that—hopefully!—each one more closely corresponds with a particular etiology, and thus we can develop a line of treatment best suited to each.
This is so patronizing that it crosses into the general territory of personal attack and trolling, even though you probably didn't mean it that way. Can you please not post like this to HN? If you'd review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html, we'd appreciate it.
I never claimed it uses some specific runtime (my specific wording was "that uses this" followed by the link to the CoreRT) as I saw it uses the ILCompiler which is, if I understand correctly, a part of CoreRT:

https://github.com/dotnet/corert/tree/master/src/ILCompiler

The rest was the quotes about how big the runtime has to be to be "minimally useful."

As the author wrote about "no runtime" example (see my other comment for the reference): "C# has value types and you can p/invoke into an unmanaged memory allocator, so you can do things with this, but you're so severily limited it's rather pointless." and about his efi example: "Similar restrictions to the no-runtime sample apply."
This is one of the benefits of C# that makes it approachable to beginners.

Just tinkering with a pair of those - the glove itself doesn't activate the XPS 15's touchpad unless my hand is in it. There doesn't appear to be any conduction between my hand and the contact point on the outside of the glove according to the resistance measurement function on a good handheld multimeter, so it's not clear to me how the gloves work. But, I have managed to get a piece of copper foil, kapton, and some wire to activate it. I guess the touchpad uses some kind of RF, which makes sense...

Will try to make a test jig that consistently triggers one of the irritating behaviours, but my touchpad R&D period (aka conference call) is wrapping up, so it'll be a while.

That's not procrastination, procrastination is when you avoid completing a task even though it doesn't benefit you to avoid completing it. For example, if a feature is supposed to ship in 3 weeks and you spend all 3 weeks "researching" libraries and on the last day you write some really bad code with no tests, that's procrastination. If you had just spent all 3 weeks writing the code and iterating on it using the tools you know you would have completed the task but you avoided completing the task for ____ psychological reason. A better name for procrastination is "task avoidance."

There's a more in-depth coverage of this in the book "Still Procrastinating" by Joseph R Ferrari (the top researcher on procrastination).
Apple is using Mastercard as the rails, Goldman as the issuer, and another company is the processor. Therefore, it isn't really doing any of the payment processing, but it is more similar to a Nordstrom's or Saks' card.

I think Apple is hoping that the Apple card will get more users to adopt Apple Pay at the point of sale vs. dominate payment processing. Apple collects a small merchant loyalty fee when someone uses Apple Pay at the point of sale, even in cases where the card being used is Amex or Chase. My guess is the overall adoption of Apple Pay is a bigger win for Apple than the card itself. I am not sure there is much cause of concern here yet as people like their CC points, perks, and rewards? It doesn't seem like Apple has leverage here unless everyone stops carrying credit cards?
> If you’ve ever felt the buzz of your phone against your thigh only to realize the sensation was entirely in your head

I get what they're trying to say, but the much more plausible explanation for "phantom phone vibrations" is actual phone vibrations. There are all kinds of things, electromechanical and software, interactive and non-interactive, that cause phones to vibrate. My current phone vibrates if you look at the fingerprint unlock sensor the wrong way. An old phone of mine would vibrate and wake up the screen randomly without any visible notifications and behaved strangely for weeks after exposure to a small bit of rain. My current phone regularly flashes transient notifications (I think maybe from a Motorola app?) that are gone faster than I can read what they are. The point is that, on average, software and hardware are both basically shit and do things that they're not supposed to do all the time.

The other component is that once they have the phone number, they can do anything with it they want, unless you leave the network. E.g. facebook once did the same, they required phone numbers "for two factor authentication". They promised to not use the numbers for anything else. A few years later they started sending SMS spam to users about what their friends did on facebook, and now facebook users can enter the number and the associated accounts show up... even though the number was supposed to be only for two factor auth. Your only choice as individual user is to leave the platform.

Pumping the lymphatic channels, mostly. Because humans don't have https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymph_hearts, so we don't just naturally do that; we actually need to move around in order for our lymphatic system to maintain the pressure required for flow.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28342944

"Toxins" (metabolic waste and immune-system antibodies, mostly) cause tissue inflammation. Your body responds to systemic increases in inflammation by becoming depressed. Cleaning the wastes out of your body, in a way that decreases inflammation, will act to decrease depression.

Interesting—and true and well-studied—corollary: things that just suppress the inflammatory response to bodily toxins, are also antidepressant. NSAIDs (e.g. ibuprofen) are anti-depressant.

I would argue that we have definitely scratched the tip, though there’s a lot more iceberg to go.

To anyone interested in this, I would highly recommend picking up a copy of “Principles of Neural Design”. It’s a look at how and why brains operate the way they do, from thermodynamic and information theory axioms up. A lot of the biology went a good bit over my head, but the authors do a great job of developing a set of hardware-agnostic principles that all brains follow.
This is neat! I might actually be using this soon.

The broader point is that collection of phone number isn't intrinsically a bad thing, it's rather the usage and trust level that matters. Judging by the parameters and caveats in your question, you have a similar perspective.
Perhaps Twitter is following Facebook which has been deceptive harvesting phone numbers under the guise of "security" for years now.

You know, just like all of those vaccine studies that show efficacy and safety are only ever conducted by BIGPHARMA.

> Turns out that phone numbers, whilst also subject to flux, have better long-term congruence to identity

Exactly why using verified phone numbers endangers a user's data. A phone number is much closer to a their true identity than an email address, exposing disparate system data to be cross-referenced by breaches and malicious actors.

For this very reason it's illegal in Australia to use a person's government uuid (Tax File Number) as a username.

I'm sure the unwashed masses don't care right now, but the recent kerfuffle over Facebook's sneaky 2FA switcheroo and other privacy sins shows that they might care after enough scandals.
Looping back in from my other answer - looking at this, I think you probably know what you want to do, but are still trying to hedge a bet each way. I absolutely empathize - I have been in this exact headspace quite recently.

To answer some specifics, from my perspective

> I'd love it if a more experienced manager could chime in here and speak to whether or not that really can be enough to power one through the endless meetings, excel reports and politics given time.

Yes, of course. Some find meaning and purpose in that and enjoy it. However, I think you do not, not truly. And this is probably why you are keeping a leg in the tech side - especially based on your paragraphs around this one.

My suggestion is talk - out loud - to someone about this and resolve what you actually want to do with yourself. And then make a decision. Because being stuck between these two things will tear you up far more than making a potentially "non-optimal" decision (whatever that actually means).

As to me - I chose option 3, working for myself as a consultant. I realised that while I love the people aspect, I have some distaste for various aspect of traditionally corporate life. Now I can just swan in, talk game at high and low levels and leave when I need to. Works for me. Might not work for you. This is an intensely personal junction you are at and only you can know the correct answer.
It seems to be TikTok should be castigated for the first two mistakes (allowing children on their platform, and implementing the birth date dialog poorly.) However their response to that second error seems sane to me. If they're going to reactivate accounts closed for being too young, shouldn't they make an attempt to verify the age of the person reopening the account? I doubt the FTC would be amused if TikTok started permitting 12 year olds to reopen their accounts with no form of attempted verification.

Also I'm not quite sure I buy the argument that the birth date dialog was bugged. Defaulting it to the current date is dumb, but was it really non-functional for some users? Really? Or did some users just click past it unthinking, annoyed that they were being asked something without bothering to stop and look at what they were being asked? The later seems more likely to me. These users would doubtlessly be annoyed, but what really can be done about that scenario? Those users should take it as a learning experience and be thankful TikTok is a thoroughly frivolous platform so they lost nothing of worth this time.

"it's not that weird that managers make more than employees" -- this is something that I really never understood, where it is expected that everyone under a manager makes less than them. At least considering what each role brings to the company's bottom line. After all, it really wouldn't be weird if a manager who makes, say 150 K a year brought in a consultant at $200 bucks an hour. Or purchased a machine that amortizes out to a couple million a year. Whereas if they have permanent employees that are developing product that is the lifeblood of the company, then the manager has to make more than any of their direct reports even if all they are doing is human resource type tasks.
