What's the incentive for apps to offer it? Now they don't get user data.
I can already see devs implementing things such as `if email domain ends in privaterelay.appleid.com reject the email address and ask for a "real" one`, like what already exists for yopmail and others.
Literally in the same sentence you're referring to, in the very next clause, it states they can apply for housing benefits to take care of the rent.
> Assuming you work 40 hours a week (ha, as if anybody works 40 hours) that's about 3% of your working hours.

It kind of makes sense. That's 3% of your work that is often "bullshit time" that you have no control over and adds nothing to your ability to get your job done. Combine with other obligations and tight deadlines and it feels like a pointless chore.

True communication is not a matter of a daily meeting with rigid procedures attached.
Im going to respond in a limited way because I think this is leading to a big fruitless debate. But notions like limiting native ability to sell the land b/c quote "it would be gone in a generation" is paternalism and I would characterize it as racist perternalism because it assumes natives are not rational actors who can decide their fates. It assumes they need government to keep them from squandering their land. And its this kind of paternalism that has characterized the governments policy towards natives and has led to the current sad state of affairs.

Second its one or the other -either you are paternalistic and take responsibilty for the state of many Natives or you give them autonomy and they take responsibility for themselves. Wanting control because you think they cant responsibily manage their land and resourses but still blaming them for their shortcomings like tribal corruption is an inconsistent position you are taking.
I am trying to find the study, but iirc it was that in the US cars drive more carefully when they see a cyclist w/o a helmet, resulting in fewer collisions.

Doubtless in case of a collision you’d be better off with the helmet, but at a high enough speed it won’t matter anyway.

I used to play basketball with a personal injury lawyer who flat-out stated that the % of situations he’s seen where a helmet actually helped was very small.

I don’t wear one for many reasons; and I don’t judge anyone else’s decision.
Some sites now seem to check whether an address is valid from some database or heuristic, because a random email with a valid domain is still rejected.
This is just a microcosm of problems governments are going to face with shrinking populations.

Another, related problem, is the issue of maintaining state pensions and other entitlement programs.

Social Security in the USA, for example, has a negative ROI. For it to work the government has to take money from younger working people in order to pay for older retired people. As the population shrinks you have less and less young people being forced to support the larger number of retired people.

All these sorts of programs have the same problems. They were designed in a era were it was assumed that people died off as a higher rate and people were born at a faster rate. As those trends gradually reverse then all welfare/entitlement programs are becomingly increasingly insolvent.

....

This sort of stuff is why the Soviets had to institute travel restrictions and a sort of passport system in the USSR; you can't have effective long term government planing with a rapidly shifting population.
Absolutely agreed on financial institutions and common carrier services.
This is awesome news for developers ! They should have done this years ago.
That doesn't say much considering we've been living in an era of tons of corporate consolidation/no antitrust actions whatsoever.

Honestly, I think the vast majority of $1+ billion acquisitions should be rejected by default. I think in almost all such cases it involves one large incumbent buying out the competition = terrible for consumers.

If companies have $1+ billion to buy out other companies they should also have the money to create their own competitor to that company that is worth $1+ billion and they are trying to buy. And that would be much better for the consumer, too, as it would lead to more competition/faster rate of improvement for products.
Oh for sure, and if Safari (including iOS) gets support we'll be golden across the board [1] whereas U2F was until recently pretty much Chrome-only [2]. It just can't happen soon enough!

Can’t services just disallow/block this address?

Fun thing is, Apple themselves block name+addon@gmail.com addresses when using their dev console. You can bet that some companies will disallow Apple’s signature private passwords similarly if they can, in the name of ‘security’ or what have you.

Or am I being too cynical? Feel free to CMV.

EDIT: best response addressing this seems to be ‘The addresses are only generated from the "Sign In With Apple" workflow that a developer has to enable in the first place’
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of OT/IT Convergence
I don't get iPadOS - it's just macOS with every power user feature disabled.

But then again, I just don't get iPads...
I loved the concepts! Cannot wait to see the site with the SDKs and all.
Someone who is not apple should do this and charge for it. I'd pay $10 for something like that
An update on our efforts to protect minors and families
The difference is Apple is too big of a player to ignore.
> The practical effect is that they collude to fix prices

Any proof of collusion? Is Apple really working with AT&T to make you use more data? There's absolutely zero evidence of that.
But now they block "normal users", not nerds. And there are many of normal users.

I'm not sure if they could sustain such a policy.
> they can not be unilaterally changed without additional consideration

I think the ship around users accepting privacy policy changes through continued use of a free product has sailed. It shouldn't have. But I don't think this is the case with which to make that point.
yeah, and say goodbye to your app on app store and hundreds millions users.
I've had excellent phone support with Fi in the past, but that was when it was Project Fi.

This outage is a bit worrying though. I'm sitting here waiting for a very important call and now found out, by reading HN, that they may not be able to reach me.
What does PlanetScale use? Is it a totally new engine? FoundationDB is rock solid. The only thing that can come close is some projects based on RocksDB, like TiDB. It would be great to see some comparison.
As a long time long distance cyclist an awfully lot of these lanes, both protected and painted/"sharrow" are really frightening.

There is an anti-car/pro-bike lane group of researchers who want to push this style of road design super hard right now at all costs.

There are still major problems with their designs though, they are working from the assumption cyclists won't learn to follow the rules of the road.

Tell me how I'm supposed to safely take a left out of one of these protected bike lanes in any way that is safe and time/distance effective? They've stuck me in a "protected" lane on the far right side of the road and I can't signal and get over to the left side turn lane without jumping a curb or plowing through some grass. Or they expect me to take a left from the far right side of multiple lanes of traffic? At least an unprotected lane doesn't require mountain bike skills to exit.

Also how do they expect me to safely go straight through the intersection when they've locked me into a protected bike lane that is to the right of the "right hand turn lane" for the motor vehicles? If I was riding in the road I would signal left and move left into the "go straight" lane.

It seems they think all cyclists need to dismount and become pedestrians in the crosswalk at all intersections. That's the only way to use these bike lanes safely. That is hardly time efficient compared to learning how to ride in the lanes. And most places outside of the city core there are no crosswalks anyway.

This stuff is plainly obvious when you've rode 10s or 100s of times more miles than the researchers. If they put more effort into educational programs it'd go a long way since city riders tend to break every law they can constantly and pull incredibly bone headed moves.

All their work is dedicated towards reducing the chances you get hit from behind by a car, which is the irrational fear. The real danger is getting hit from the side or the front at intersections.
I do remember years of "the solar boom," when just having word solar in company name enough to secure an effectively unconditional $3m grant.
Agreed. I spend a lot of time working outdoors. Even in the shade in the summertime, I have a shell profile with larger fonts and a dark-on-light color scheme to make it easier.
Hey I am on the team at PlanetScale and you are 100% correct about that. One of the great decisions we made was that our SaaS is the OSS version of Vitess so even if we went away you would still be able to continue with Vitess. Also we are working on rolling out BYOK ( bring your own Kubernetes ) as a deploy option so the databases and Vitess components all reside in your Account not in ours.
Migrating Domains from Wikia.com to Fandom.com
Such a dev would likely just not implement "Sign in with Apple".

This is for the devs that specifically want the minimal-friction sign-in.
How long until sites start blocking the cloaked addresses? (although of course Apple can just churn those address patterns)
I just published a piece with Floydhub, it has been a great experience!

The difference here is that Apple can reject apps that do this from the App Store.
Thinking in Systems by Donella Meadows
> Also, under fascism, speech may be protected in government contexts, but if the government turns over large swaths to corporations, and the corporations aren't required to protect speech, that's not the government's problem.

Corporations aren't required to host all speech, or be subject to any kind of government control in what speech they host (short of taking down illegal content like copyright violations and cse). In fact, requiring someone or a company to host speech is a violation of the 1st Amendment, because it is compelled speech. If you run a forum, and you ban someone for views you don't like the government can't step in and say "no, you're required to host this content". And legally, there's essentially no difference between your hypothetical forum and Facebook.

The only exceptions to this are utilities. An electric company can't just decide to stop doing business with someone that they don't like, since most customers have one choice for utilities. Laying electric wire, plumbing, etc. almost always requires approval from the government to in some sense utilities companies are indirect arms of the government. There's arguments to be made that hosting providers and domain name providers should be moved into this category. This would mean that a website can't be kicked off the internet as was the case with the DailyStormer for a while. But it seems like an extremely far fetched argument that sites like Facebook should be considered utilities.
No, you're clearly correct. But Apple pushing this does give it a sense of legitimacy and blocking signups from this service might just cause less signups than actually forcing people to use their real address.

If Apple makes this extremely user friendly and quick to use than blocking it will cause a loss of signups.
>However now Reddit bans subreddits all the time.

Can you name some subreddits whose ban you object to?
While websites do blacklist temporary email providers like Mailinator, I think Apple has more power here; blocking the domain can be pegged as more of an anti-privacy move than blocking Mailinator, which is more anti-spam.
I sat in a ride a few weeks ago with a monitor in front of me hanging on the backseat, that I had no way to turn off, playing ads the whole time.

I guess this is ride sharing's path to being profitable, more intrusive advertising. Or pay a premium to get an ad-free ride.

If this is the future of ride sharing, looks like owning a car isn't going out of style anytime soon.

I don't like this, but it seems being advertised to at every possible moment is the price we pay for our societies' current modern development
Yes. Back when Google+ oauth launched, "sharing user identity info" was the carrot that incentivized developers to build the integration. Otherwise, devs preferred Facebook so they could get user info.
There's a certain parallel to "a solution in search of a problem".

I haven't thought of a witty way to phrase the problem; "a utopia in search of a social movement", maybe?

It's really fun to design your new utopian community: the principles, the laws, the layout of the streets in the city (or the ships, in this case). But this is precisely backwards. You aren't playing SimCity, or SimSeastead. You can't just build (or make blueprints for) your ideal city, then summon a hoard of obedient minion-citizens to build it and inhabit it and behave in the way you have dictated.

The social movement has to come first: you need a large group of people, with similar aims and goals, working together, making decisions and plans a group. Then maybe you build a city. Or a commune. Or a co-op. Or who knows; the group may end up with other needs that you didn't anticipate.

Hypothetically you could build your community around your utopian vision, but why should they flock to you? All you've got is an idea. I've got some ideas, and so has every other person who might hypothetically be interested in joining your community. Why should I join you on your seastead instead of you joining me in my mountain enclave, or my seastead in a different ocean, or exactly like your seastead started out, except it's my seastead, I make the decisions?

Start by building a community, a movement. Or stick to writing fiction and playing the Sims.
The Allies, more specifically the U.K. and the US, and the Soviets through their pervasive spying. I changed the original.
I'd like to have something similar for actual physical mailing addresses, perhaps UPS or Fedex could offer this.
> It's different. Nobody will prescribe anti-psychotic medication to a religious person

I feel you are missing the point(s) I made. I am not referring to someone with a Messiah complex; and I dated someone who was suicidal (for almost a year) and interacted with some people in her therapy group--schizophrenics, people with mania and so on. So I'm not a "virgin".

I just wanted to point out the blatant hipocrosy that some, not all, of the experts in this arena. I think my points do stand on their own merit--despite the fact that I'm low on sleep due to a 16 hour work related grind yesterday, and I could have been a bit more precise with my original post.
Schrödinger's cat could be saved, say scientists
And as a poster above says, he'd sign up for this for "revenue certainty".

Would you rather make $10,000-$20,000, or make $17,000? For some, they'd take the sure $17K over the possibility of making less and losing money after cost of goods sold are taken into account.
I concur; Digital Minimalism is his weakest book, and Deep Work is his best. On the other hand, I think Digital Minimalism is also his most immediately useful and applicable work, and is probably a necessary precondition for engaging in deep work properly.

I did have a slip and started using Facebook again recently, but a two day bout of people I think of as allies being profoundly and loudly wrong on the Internet got me right back off it. Once you recognize the patterns, it's almost self-reinforcing to stay away.
"Protected" usually means thatbthere is a physical barrier, not just painted lines.

I went back to the article and realized I lazily skimmed after the beginning. Delhi and other areas are much more oppressively humid. Mumbai is stifling even when it's "only" 35C. Most of Rajastan is pretty comfortable even well into the 40s though.
Presumably such services won't implement Sign In With Apple in the first place. People will accept it because they want the sheer quantity of users Apple provides.

The useful thing about Apple is that they can force people to do things they don't particularly want to do, like accept anonymous e-mail addresses or stop using Flash. (unfortunately this is also the bad thing about Apple)
Would the blog have 32 thousand readers though?
Companies could absolutely disallow / block it.

However they most likely won't for the same reason that people who are upset about Apple's 30% App Store cut still develop apps for iOS: they have their customers spend far more on average than other phone / OS users.
I wonder how many poorly designed database schemas this will break that used email as a primary key/id.

What is forcing the sites that I'd want to use a fake email address with to use this? It wouldn't be in their interest to. They will just stick with their current SSO setup of Google/Facebook/whatever and never touch this, if they have SSO at all. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the idea, I just don't know if it will be useful and successful.
