In my opinion, yes, we do want 400 SSO providers – providing the same, standardized mechanism to sign in. Maybe something along the lines of ID4me [1].

In the long run, there will probably be government-provided digital identities for everyone.

But right now, Apple is probably one of very few institutions that are both willing and able to provide a SSO system with great usability, privacy and market penetration.

You’re depending on every single email provider and client to support it.

GDPR is not a great example. A lot of American companies didn’t even bother and just blocked everyone with an EU IP address.
> any application is supposedly running in its own sandbox,

But that fails for developers (which is more or less synonymous with "CLI users"). Development is all about data and fine grained tools, not apps.

You check out a file with git, then edit it with vim, and build it with gcc, which pulls in headers generated with a python script, itself having been configured with, I dunno, cmake gadgetry. Where do you draw the boundaries here?

I mean, you can draw a big circle around all your development activities. Products have been invented that do that. They're called "IDE's", and are sort of the metaphorical opposite of the command line tools we're discussing, and not really a solution to the people choosing to use this environment.

Alternatively, you can view the whole development system as a sandbox. Do your work in a separate VM or docker instance, for example. Some people actually do that (in particular folks with windows desktops who need linux tooling will recognize this), and while it's not generally considered a security technique, it certainly could be.
That event was orchestrated by corrupt DEA agents, and the entire conversation may have been fabricated. Ross was barred from bringing any of this evidence to his defense. The case should have been thrown out of court, IMO, due to corruption on the part of the prosecution. Two DEA agents went to prison over their handling of this case.
Before I go completely grey here, I'll clarify as a decades long user of vim/neovim: no software should be so near and dear to your heart that you get complacent about the risks it poses, most especially security risks.

Heartbreak at this announcement means you were assuming it wasn't a vector for security weaknesses.
The government doesn't have the right to privacy. If you work for the government, people should have the right to know your name and what choices you made in an official capacity. France is practicing the opposite of transparency.
No, it's just that we have seen this dance plenty of times before. None of it is ever original. It's all cribbed from the same tired script: "phlogiston" this, "ether" that. Ultimately it always leads to, "but how can you know, really know?"

The intent is always the same, too: Not to evoke subtle insights, or to open up new vistas of thought; but to gather in the pigeons who crave really knowing, and fatten them up on deception.

Concealing subtext doesn't mean there's no subtext.

BS presented well is still BS.

There is far more to know than science has ever even looked at. Not because it's not interesting, useful, or earthshaking, but just because science is hard, and we've been at it for less than 1000 years.

There is plenty that science's best efforts had wrong and improved upon, and plenty that's still wrong. Not because we're blinkered and pigheaded (although everyone is) but because it takes time, and we don't each have much, while jokers like this, congratulating themselves on their cleverness despite never having had a single original idea, waste it.

Do I sound disgusted? Yes, I said I have seen this before.
First, I don’t have an answer, but I’m commenting because I was reminded of a recent experience I had.

Last week, I turned down a job offer, and it was largely influenced by the information the hiring agency, which the company went through, required me to provide. They wanted all kinds of information about me, and it was clear it was almost entirely unrelated to the company offering me the job. They simply wanted to add me to their line of products, whether I wanted them to advertise me or not. If I didn’t provide the information, I didn’t get processed.

Needless to say, I’m happily looking for employment elsewhere. I firmly believe this is both wrong, and a practice which should be illegal. If it isn’t already?
Got it, thank you. This type of constructive knowledge sharing is a big part of what makes HN a great community.

And now I wonder what of earth's quirks (?) are driven or influenced by our position relative to the other planets, as well as our moon.

Furthermore, is a planet's ability to sustain life also a function of other planets in that solar system? Perhaps, at that level, the earth's system (if you will) is more unique than we realize?

I don't think that's necessarily true. It's just that items designed for the elderly are designed by young people who think this is what elderly people need. My mom uses quite a few items that are supposed to be designed for the elderly. Only a few really work whereas others simply don't work.

I don't think most elderly don't want to be reminded that they are old. They will happily use stuff that actually works for them.

One approach gives the right answer. The other approach is more computationally tractable. Computers are pretty powerful now, so we can afford the correct answer much more often than we used to.

As for what is more natural… I've seen a (frequentist) introduction to statistics, and it simply did not make sense. Nothing was justified, you just had to learn the stuff by rote and apply it in situations that look like they could use one tool or another.

Probability theory on the other hand is pretty obvious. The axioms required to derive it are ridiculously few and ridiculously intuitive. From there you get the sum and product rules, and all the rest. Always made perfect sense to me.

I'm really excited about this release - sampling has been necessary to support some of our largest customers for many years, but has a bunch of issues, as Vijay points out in this post.

I love the fact that moving sampling to query time lets us beat the tradeoff - we get something like 90% of the speedup of ingestion time sampling with none of the downsides, and the only incremental cost is storage which is cheap. It's a big win.
This looks really nice. I like it you’re supporting Flutter!

If you’d expect that of Seattle, try looking at domestic broadband options in Silicon Valley.

For huge swathes you can have lovely ancient old ADSL on your copper phone line or Comcast via cable. Oh and all Comcast plans in the Bay Area, regardless of what the marketing says, have a 1 TB bandwidth cap and charge for overages up to 200 dollars on top of your monthly bill, unless you pay them an additional 50 bucks a month to get the _actually_ unlimited option on all of the plans offered. As you can imagine, many of us living here routinely blow through a terabyte of bandwidth - just one cloud connected security camera can eat a third of it easily.

That’s literally it for most people.
Personally I don't user mountains of binary CLI software from random people I've never heard of and don't particularly want to deal with a sandbox. Furthermore, if I really really wanted one I know how to set one up.

Usually I check over things like make files and am immediately concerned if I'm told to run a "build.sh" (especially as root.)

On android the security is kind of an illusion anyway, it's pretty common for apps to either find ways to escape it or trick the user into granting permissions that the apps abuse. The worst offenders are often preinstalled by the hardware vendor anyway and since you don't usually control the OS are impossible to remove.
I don't know exactly but the previous generation model had the hardware interlock that would have prevented this problem so it is possible.

From Wikipedia:

"One, when the operator incorrectly selected X-ray mode before quickly changing to electron mode, which allowed the electron beam to be set for X-ray mode without the X-ray target being in place. A second fault allowed the electron beam to activate during field-light mode, during which no beam scanner was active or target was in place.

Previous models had hardware interlocks to prevent such faults, but the Therac-25 had removed them, depending instead on software checks for safety."
You'd think people would be up in arms about that. Restricting a 'building' to 1 provider seems ridiculous to me.

Doesn't seem reasonable to compare how you feel about open sourcing personal projects to open source software that a company builds and relies on for revenue. Open source is amazing because it allows all of us to share knowledge and build things better than any of us could build individually, and I LOVE that. When a goliath like AWS comes along as abuses OSS to make money off of someone else's work without contributing back (either with money or code) they're not operating in the spirit of open source and they're potentially making it more difficult to successfully run that company (which IS contributing software to our community). That's not cool.

Profit is revenue minus expenses. Supporting more versions of iOS essentually means greater expenses. So the decision to drop support of older iOS versions is basically the questions of whether or not the additional expense of supporting it is greater than the additional revenue those users generate. For a company like Facebook, the revenue is much greater than expense, while for a smaller company, it's probably smaller.

Open source is great, open everything is great. But if 99.9% of companies can't make any money on open source because someone big swoops in ... then open source isn't of much use to anyone. It'll drive everyone who tries, out of business or into forced acquisition by said big player. Then people will give up on OSS for anything but hobbies and software they don't care about... and the world as a whole loses out.

So... :+1:
Looks like the article did not address heart issues, only 'stiffening of the arteries.'

Yea, why not a URL right to the raw image? That technology existed for decades. Image search site results are the same thing: I just want the raw image URL! How could that be so hard?
Yeah, but the "queue-of-queues" is a more traditional structure familiar to people with lock-free algorithms.

I don't have time to do a serious code review of everything... but immediately upon looking at that code, its already clearly written with better quality: with acquire/release fences being used in (seemingly) the correct spot (just as an example).

Like, the real issue I have here is the quality of the code that is being demonstrated in the blog post. A lock-free of queues-of-queues implementation makes sense in my brain. What's going on in the blog-post ultimately doesn't make sense.
Ask HN: What mental models you found useful in delivering impact as an engineer?
I hear people talking that it takes more than great programming skills for an engineer to be successful (particularly at fast moving tech companies). As an engineer, I have learned certain mindsets that have helped me do better in my work. For example: 1) an average to a problem well understood can potentially deliver bigger impact than a great solution to a problem poorly understood, 2) not all problems are worth solving and ability to prioritize them in terms of impact is a core skill, etc.

What mental models have you found useful in your career as an engineer? Or if you're not an engineer, what mental models you think engineers need to have to deliver bigger impact?
No. In that case, AWS built and released new Apache licensed, 100% open source extensions for Elasticache to make essential functionality like TLS encryption and authentication available to anyone. It did not fork Elasticsearch, it released a collection of software that works with the OSS core version of Elasticsearch.

Disclosure: I work at AWS on EC2, and sometimes provide my opinion on open source topics to other teams.
> They want to retain control over their customers; at the same time, force the developers into relying entirely on Apple as a middle man so that they can't cut Apple out of any transactions.

The cynical part of me sees this as an "Oh Shit!" reaction to businesses starting to circumvent the App Store.

If Apple can make everybody on a iPhone dependent upon their single-sign-on, they can threaten businesses with access to it later.
Now I'm not sure what your argument is. When the problem is "they refuse to issue Widevine licenses", it doesn't really matter that a browser as huge as Firefox managed to get one.

It wasn't "if you want to use Linux", it was "if you want to make a browser".

Also the Widevine authorized for Linux is only 720p on Netflix.
The MP3 was a cool solo I recorded that my friend wanted to bring to her singing coach, but it could have been anything. An MP3 from some random CD that's never been available on the itunes, or maybe just one she wasn't interested in buying even if it were available. What you choose to listen to on your devices isn't any of Apple's business.

Streaming isn't a solution for getting media on a device either. It's a nice convenience in a lot cases, but because you're dependent on someone else to make the content available, and someone else to carry it, streaming is always uncertain and you should never assume it'll be available to you even when it has been in the past. As much as I love streaming media, it can't beat having a DRM free local copy you can keep, copy, convert, etc.

The point though is that getting an MP3 on a popular cell phone at any point over the last 3 years shouldn't be complicated. It shouldn't involve logging into accounts, needing to install bloated and intrusive software (itunes installed a service to always run in the background and set itself to start every time the OS was started) or syncing entire musical libraries (and god knows what else) anywhere. It should have been a drag and drop operation, but the internet is full of horror stories about people losing their music collections, collections being merged with other people's libraries, and requests for itunes alternatives just so people can get media onto their expensive devices.

I'm sure if she only ever used an apple computer with apple's itunes software always running on it, and no one else but her ever used it, and she paid for every piece of media she ever put on her device by using the itunes store everything would have worked wonderfully, but any deviation from that very narrow 100% apple-everything set up turns even the simplest things (like putting an MP3 on a cell phone) into an ordeal with 100% unnecessary apple-imposed complications and roadblocks.

The fact that it would have actually been easier (and probably faster) for me to install and setup a web server to host the file so that she (if she had the right browser) could download it to her phone really shows how fucked up the entire process is.

It would take a decade to build a good desktop OS.

if they had raised money by telling a story that they didn't believe to the VC's to raise money from the VC's, then they would have been guilty of something by their own words: but they didn't, and their point in saying that was they did not do that. Instead, they pivoted...

The money they raised in the ICO has the SEC upset, but not for the reason your example refers to, but simply for lack of registration.
