Hey -- my smart and humbled colleague Matthias wrote a blog post about Apple's recently announced "Sign In With Apple" and whether or not it's a game changer for online privacy. We'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
And let's not forget this

Not really. There must be a small(big?) subset of people who don't want to setup git,nextcloud,dropbox etc. to get encryption/sync working. As a hacker it might offend your sensibilities of "one thing well" but not everyone is a hacker :-)
Provide options to let users add/remove from their whitelist. At least that's what I want to see.
I wish there were more modifiers. One for navigation, one for wm control, one for app control, one for input manipulation...
Not all contracts are valid.
I disagree. MacOS is hugely popular in academia. A significant amount of researchers use MacBooks as it allows them to have the best of both worlds by having a machine that runs MS Office for preparing proposals and dealing with Admin as well as a UNIX system that lets them ssh into whatever workstation or cluster they’re running jobs on. Sure Windows is catching up in this regard but MacOS has had the advantage of being a much nicer experience.

Getting your products into Universities is a great way to maintain market share. This is true for software like Matlab and even for banks where most students will keep banking with the same bank for decades.
I've got a freestyle edge and an ergodox and they're both nice. The freestyle has a great option for tenting and a palm rest (had to 3d print one for the ergodox) and takes practically no adjustment. The ortholinear keys and thumb clusters are great on the ergodox, but it takes some serious customisation and practice to get used to, particularly for programming.
It makes a lot of sense to me, who struggled to work with a group consist of mostly Computer Vision scientists. The pushback to use anything heavier than pure python + s3 is amazing. Spark is still considered too heavy for us and people need to do in memory analysis and friction free experiments with convoluted dependencies. Most of the time it’s not their pipeline that goes to production but rather their trained model. They need to do most steps on their laptop and easy lift it to cloud. No engineers want to do that lift job trust me.

Netflix has Metaflow for this which seems a more fully-fledged product. But it’s not open sourced.
Cars also have the huge advantage of killing 40,000 every year in the USA. Yeah, go cars.
Haroopad http://pad.haroopress.com also does this.
IT is true that Americans have made their own propaganda version of WWII. The D-Day is seen as a decisive heroic operation while the retreat of Dunkirk is seen as almost comical because it only involved a similar amount of French casualties, who were losing anyway (in order to help the allies retreat to UK to continue the fight but nevermind that).

HOWEVER, while it is true that people who lived during WWII knew USSR was winning and would prevail, even without USA's help, there was also a widespread, majority in almost every European countries, to hope US forces would come before USSR's. Germans who deserted or surrendered, when they had a choice, overwhelmingly did so to the western allies.

We knew that USSR would come to occupy while US was not interested in territorial gains. Yes, US occupation was not without propaganda and political compromises, but compare the date of the first free elections in France or in Ukraine, you will see that these opinions were founded.

One could argue that the D-Day was a decisive operation for the Cold War, less so for WWII. Without US involvement, USSR would have "freed" all of Europe by 1947, but the rest of the century would have been far more different.
This is true, I forgot to mention that above, and I do not understand why you are being downvoted for this. We have a small daughter and are planning a 300 km trip next month. Long-distance trains here have special apartments for families with small children, but even with that option we decided to use car sharing.
I would consider it fraud to call something “tracking protection” when they explicitly whitelist the worst possible scum.

There are some people like that everywhere. People who will never walk or cycle or catch PT.
Don’t shells usually fix this? I know that Fish at least includes a little Unicode “return” arrow when it appends a newline.
Its not very helpful in a specific way. Little business aphorisms. Same dude with a poor argument against UBI from literally an entrepeneural perspective
One attack vector of the disease is transmission through tick bites. Ticks then bite boars. Swine fever also takes enough time to begin acting that a herd can become infected without there being any signs till it is too late to mitigate. Swine fever can also be transmitted by feed but it isn’t clear to me how that works. Sometimes pigs are fed to pigs but I don’t see how that would lead to a supply feed infection.
Or a cheap Anycast DNS provider with domain mapping like DNSMadeEasy.
I have observed the same (abstracting the essentials) in some of young children's drawings. They seem to be adept in identifying the essential elements from the details.
No, Quiver doesn't use Electron and is Mac only. Inkdrop is cross-platform.
Sure, the underground is an experience in itself. And walking around a foreign city can be very confusing for a lot of people.
The best thing to do with a split spacebar is to put things like shift there so you never have to reach again.

That's why a lot of ergonomic designs have thumb clusters to better make use of an underutilized finger.
How much has Unix changed?
The “online brain”: how the Internet may be changing our cognition
I get the sentiment against Electron, there are horribly bloated applications out there which are a direct consequence of how (badly) Electron was built and designed.

However, this particular application appears to work exactly as intended and uses all of 150MB of RAM and 0.1% CPU on my (admittedly quite beefy) laptop. Maybe, just maybe, this is actually a pretty well-built application? I understand if someone won't use this program because it doesn't scratch their particular itch. But, not using something solely because of the techniques used to build it, seems a bit elitist to me.
I found the attached volume storage in their cloud VMs fast enough and the servers with 2 attached SSDs plentiful fast.
Although the video depicts tiny one-room apartments, the second market for this is people who'd like some extra space without the cost and inconvenience of extending their house or moving house.

i.e. if you're willing to pay $2000 to get space for a home office or exercise space, that'll get you a pretty fancy folding bed - but it's a fraction of the cost of an extra bedroom.
Yes, the Artic convoys, protected by the Royal Navy, delivered enough equipment to completely equip an army, and at horrible cost in ships and me. These routes had the largest number of ship losses in the war.
But then why add \s? It seems you quite literally meant what you wrote :)

> My tire pressure light has been on for at least three months now.

Maybe worth getting that checked?
Well, as I have mentioned above, I don't blame them. It makes a huge difference if it takes you 80 minutes on average to the nearest supermarket via PT (because the bus only runs every 2 hours, and takes 20 minutes) or 10 minutes via car. I would definitely opt for a car in their situation.
PR fail? Everybody is talking about it.
Disappointed that the link is to wikipedia and not the actual RFC. I think there's more value in reading the RFC first, specially if you don't immediately realize that "avian carriers" really does refer to pigeons.
I wonder why they can't just close off the outer walls with rubber same as in regular tires.
Youth in Asia is progressive and modern, what it isn't is highly political. It is a subservient youth in Asia among both autocratic regimes like china as well as Democracies like India, Japan or Thailand. Youth isn't very politically vocal, on the contrary it is quite subservient in my view.
I was a little disappointed with the IA app. It works fairly well for the most part, but it seems to lag behind in features for the site

I wanted to download all of the Computer Chronicles. Both for viewing offline and to have my own "set" of files. I even re-encoded them to HEVC (from MPEG-2) and put them up here https://intelminer.com/torrents/TV%20SHOWS/Computer%20Chroni...

Getting them from the Archive through was an exercise in frustration. IA offers (and heavily recommends) using the torrent download option to ease on bandwidth cost

Unfortunately for what ever reason, there's no way to pull down the .torrent files using this method.

In the end I had to simply pull the MPEG-2 videos down one by one over the course of several months (due to speed limiting on IA's end)
I no longer consider google to be 'good at filtering' - it's over zealous - so it could be true that the huge spam problem has been reduced by a large percent, but that comes at a great cost.

To some the cost is less - to those who use email for business, I'd say there are significant loss possibilities. I have recently discovered this in several situations.

I think of it more like an a middle man in the ATM or a change making machine that is looking for counterfeit bills - sure it may be great to have it shred 90% of the counterfeits, and some people may never get several hundreds passed through - but if you did and the machine shredded the hundreds being sent to you often - I would not consider that good.
I'm sorry, what on earth is "indirect assistance" to someone refusing to eat?

What people seem to be conflating here is the idea of involuntary care and "euthanasia". It's true that sometimes courts will allow doctor's to force-feed patients through an IV. For various reasons (I'm no expert on Danish medical law) that didn't happen here. And that is a controversial area of medical ethics and worth discussing calmly and rationally.

But to freak out, shriek on social media and HN, and call this "euthanasia" is straight up ridiculous spin. And the ONLY reason this story even has legs is because of the facility. If this happened in a hospital it would be a routine tragedy and not a political flytrap for right wing moralists.

That's interesting and I basically agree with your opinion. You will be more comfortable to try it.

Even camping I like having a decent sleeping pad.

But there’s certainly nothing wrong with a futon you roll up (or a sofa bed or Murphy bed) if you’re short of space.

I like a good futon and use one at home (on a platform bed).
I hardly think that sweating while walking in the sun in 30°+ weather is not being able to handle any kind of hardship. In fact, it is quite the opposite: My better half sweats very little and she very nearly had a heat stroke when we last visited The Living Desert in Palm Springs.

As it happens I commute by bicycle but that's by the by.
>>options to log into websites using your Facebook or Google or Twitter IDs are becoming more and more ubiquitous, making sign-in easy to set up, but exposing all your activity to the social media site you are signed into. What's a privacy-conscious Internet user to do?

This collection of fairytales is beautiful but, in general, I want to say that this website is full of gems. It's an example of how I'd like the web to be: accessible, full of knowledge, independent, with personality.
Can someone explain why some links appear on first HN page while the others end up laying unnoticed on second page?
Containers lose a lot of appeal once you leave the server, and Apple have explicitly abandoned the server market.

They do offer a set of "primitives" for virtualization, which can be hooked into by third-party solutions like
Docker if they want to do so.

It's generated so much extra exposure for WWDC and their other announcements. Although they aren't pronouncing it, I'm sure their marketing department disagree.
thats such an idiotic thing to say considering they offer dedicated servers with NVMe raid drives.
(I assume the massive downvotes are from the people that have never lived in the Midwest and/or have never lived anywhere other than 'downtown' in a major city, or ancient city that was built before locomotion, and are wholly unfamiliar with suburbs)

>I cannot think of any reason why you should own a car in a town with an average public transportation network and some form of car sharing.

Because you don't want to waste an hour or more every day standing around waiting on a train/bus? Would like to regularly visit friends and family on the other side of town? Would like to not have to plan your life around transportation schedules?

I could maybe see getting by in Europe, I've one friend in Germany that is quite happy taking the train a half mile or so from his apartment for most stuff but even he still owns a car for getting to work, doing groceries, going to his postal box, bringing home stuff for art, going to the woods etc.

I cannot fathom life without a car. I'd say my closest friend is 10 miles away, two I go to see fairly regularly are 50 miles away. If I want to go see a movie it's 3-20 miles depending on which theater I want to go to, work is about 10~ miles from my apartment with my two gyms between me and work that I'm at 4x a day each and at another a 5th day. All of the performing arts theaters around Indianapolis are downtown, on the east side or north of Indy in Carmel - all of which are a 20-40 minute drive for me probably 15-25 miles.

I can go to these places above in 5-60 minutes in my car, public transportation would require multiple transfers and probably 4-5 hours, with some of them running fairly infrequently, for some of them and a couple of them I simply could not get to with public transportation.

Without a car I'd also have no way to get to the meetinghouse of my Church, or to singles firesides at a meetinghouse on the other side of town.

Without a car in the spring and summer I'd show up to dates, or to hang out with friends, sweaty and smelly. It will be 86F with the humidity reaching a high of 87% today.

Without a car, I couldn't go shooting if I wanted... I can't get on a bus with long arms and a few bricks of ammunition and be like "hey, I know that isn't a stop up there, but can you drop me in front of that range... this stuff is heavy". I couldn't go hunting, I couldn't go fishing, I couldn't go mushroom hunting in the spring, I couldn't go hiking because buses don't go to the woods.
People are different. Some will sweat by doing nothing at certain temperatures. Just like there are people that are fine swimming in ice water and others... that are not.
If Apple really cared about the environment they'd make their devices more maintainable to dramatically reduce waste. But their current strategy to push against right to repair and having insane repair prices shows where their real priorities lie.
I too need a web client - what do you currently use?
I have to say I'm not I would call someone that creates something that doesn't work (and will never work) and inventor.

If I just jump from a building and throw a bottle on the way down, saying that the bottle will 'throw me back up because physics', and then I die (obviously), I'm not an inventor, I'm just an idiot.
Can you recommend some of the docs that you’re referring to?
Because running Spark to do anything that doesn’t actually require a whole cluster is like using earthmoving equipment to assemble a series of small ikea tables?

Digital vs. Physical Goods: Leveling the Valuation Playing Field
The Soviets lost between 20 and 27 million people in the war. It's a sort of understandable position for a country that lost 40 people per us casualty.

I know any press is good press, but come on. You can't just excuse any too-expensive product this way.
No harm at all, but it would get complex quickly if it's extended for every major campaign in every theatre in a five year war. Official invite and attendance or not - where not attending will be painted by one media as a snub, and not inviting painted by the other country's media as a snub...

Yet no one would think it odd or unusual if a Russian veteran or someone with a relative involved chose to go personally for whatever reason. I'm sure they'd be most welcome and hopefully treated with as much respect as any campaign vet or other attendee. I would think it odd if our PM was invited to say commemoration of the Battle of Kursk, despite that being of huge significance. I'd expect a good few Russian veterans or relatives might think it odd too.

Commemorations are for the veterans and relatives of those that took part, and to honour the participants. Which tends to make it expected to have official presence for the nationalities that took part in each campaign, the former commanders, and the descendants of those who took part, or who lost a parent or grandparent. For many attending it's a deeply personal act. I'm uncomfortable, to say the least, with commemoration as national or political PR.
i didn't really find it compelling until the point in the video when they change the direction

Neither is wiby.me

Both don't cover average use cases.
I don’t understand why they announced the stand during the keynote at all. It’s not something to be proud of and it isn’t cutting-edge technology. They could have just put it for sale quietly and the outrage would have been far less.
Do you sleep in the same spot every night? I'm chuckling at the idea of you getting tired and just picking a random bit of floor within your house to lie down.
You’re cherry picking various stereotypes from different time periods and not including the bad stereotypes men had in the 20th century as well: the oafish dad, the wannabe player, the nerd, dumb jock...

None of this says much about people’s place in the world, more that 20th century sitcoms went for easy laughs.

The reality is that being a mother has always been seen as a powerful important role (because it is). It wasn’t until the late 20th century that diminished often at the hands of feminists.

You seem focused on the idea that telling a man to be like a woman is an insult but for as long as I’ve been alive people have been telling men to get in touch with their sensitive side, do more duties around the house...

I don’t think you’re accurately describing the big picture, just one slice of one piece of mainstream, late 20th century culture.

9 Influential Mobile App Development Trends That Rule In 2019
You don’t need something robotic but I expect folding beds (especially outside the most expensive cities) see a lot of use in guest bedrooms and similar. A traditional bed sort of locks a room into a guest bedroom function even if it’s rarely used as such. Better to have a sofa bed of some sort and use it for whatever purpose most of the time.

I remember reading about this man but did not know he passed. This joke altered his and many people around him forever. Comedy with absolutely devastating consequences.

All history is distorted. We can only learn from surviving sources (written by winners, with political agenda or simply subjectively) interpreted in whatever is the most desired way to have it interpreted at the time. A lot of evidence has been systematically destroyed.

Obviously, I'm exaggerating but there's truth in it and it takes a lot of individual studying (of not just history) to get some vague idea of what could really be going on.

For WW2, my history teacher believed that events should be considered a history only after 100 yeas have passed. Everything less will be a political narrative.
Excatly. I never heard hate. Only laughts. "apple is doing a stupid apple thing"

It's actually good PR: everybody talk about it, but they also they it's a good quality monitor, just that apple is over pricing an accessory, which is a cheap way of making the luxury brand perceptuon stronger... Huge com win for very little effet.

Yes, I have, but didn't deal with this issue.

I don't think this advice of "if you haven't done it you can't criticize or ask questions about it" is very good. It would bar me from commenting on and criticizing Michael Bay movies, so no thank you.

I know this isn't exactly what you're talking about but I've found it invaluable: https://github.com/atomantic/dotfiles

It's a script that installs all kinds of useful stuff and sets some - in my opinion - nice options. I just recently started a new job and I had a brand new Macbook Pro up and running (as in: ready to start working) in less than 30 minutes.

A good tip is to fork it and modify it to your liking. At a new computer you can then just pull down your version and install away.

The only default that's missing is Sublime Text.
Overlord was decided and committed to at the Trident conference in the US, 6 or 9 months before Tehran. That is when the postponement to 44 was decided. Due mainly to lack of supplies.
Meanwhile The 'Western' allies were also fighting across the East Asian and Pacific theatres, and had opened the Italian front in Europe the year before.

It's absolutely true Russian participation in the European war was decisive, but Europe wasn't even the only war going on. There's a good argument there was another war active on the other side of the world simultaneously in which Russian participation was minimal.

Anyway the whole premise of the criticism is facile and self-serving. Russian war achievements are entirely worthy of their own celebration and remembrance in their own right. They should not more overshadow the achievements in Normandy than those commemorations should cast a shadow over the African campaign, or the invasion of Italy and the contribution of soldiers who fought on those fronts.
