Last I checked, Android was largely written by the engineers in buildings 40-43, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA, USA. They're employees of Google, Inc, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Alphabet, Inc, which is a U.S. corporation registered in the State of Delaware.

When you access services provided by Google Ireland Limited, you are dealing with a different entity, which last I checked controls a whole lot of money and employs some finance people, customer support, and SREs. Google Ireland is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Google Inc, and contracts with the latter to provide services to Europeans using software owned by Google Inc. Google Ireland follows EU and Irish law. All of this is irrelevant to Huawei, whose contract is with Google Inc to license technology within Android. It is also irrelevant to the U.S. government, who likely gets all the intelligence on Europeans that they need through their Five Eyes partnership with GCHQ, and is far more concerned about potential Chinese, Russian, or Middle Eastern adversaries than they are about Europeans anyway.
I'm a big fan of the feature, was quite thrilled to see it, but aren't they the provider of the redirect? So there is privacy to anyone but Apple: they'll know (if they wish to) that you signed up on Some Site with a burner email in a way they might not have if you used a regular burner email service.

Personally, I'm fine with Apple having that kind of info as I generally trust them and also that my main concern is the same with your frustration of my email ending up in yet another leak seemingly frequently.
Isn't there a way to register your address with general delivery directives?
Note that RISCV vector extension also supports matrices, tensors, etc. So at least for GPGPU compute applications, it feels quite modern (e.g. Volta has tensor cores).

Also, Larrabee had fixed-width 512-bit wide vectors (it did not support SSE 128-bit wide or AVX 256-bit wide vectors). RISC-V has Cray vectors of dynamic length (e.g. need a 128-bit vector, no problem, need a 4096 bit one? no problem either).

I think the main issue for programming CPUs to solve GPU problems is that our programming models for CPUs don't expose the memory hierarchy, while the ones for GPUs do that in a much more finer grained way.

Is it SEO or search result presentation optimization? I've noticed a load of book/film titles on Amazon search results and had assumed that it was less about SEO than a bit more of a descriptive title so that I was more likely to click through and find out more about the book/film.
I actually prefer this than the re-delivery attempts. Look, if something was "wrong" the first time it's probably going to stay wrong the next n times they try. I would just rather it be in a fixed location that I can pick up any time than wait another week or so until they give up.
When trying out rust, I wrote a little langton's ant implementation[1] that runs in the terminal. It includes the extensions to multiple colors as described in the wikipedia article. Of particular interest is that I ran the simulation and looked through all results of combination of up to 6 colors and included a list of the archetypal ones in the README [2]. It would be interesting to explore ants with larger rotation cycles, but it isn't really scalable to look through the results with human eyeballs. Perhaps there is a computer vision clustering algorithm that can be used to classify them.

Houston, We Have a Problem: Trump Seems to Think the Moon Is Part of Mars?
Lately, one Amazon delivery person (works for Amazon) I have has been terrible. Usually, they are fine but this one guy calls me with every package delivery he has for our building saying he can't get in the building and there is no one at the front desk. There is always someone at the front desk. This isn't really Amazon's fault but I imagine they track delivery success rate and this person will be gone eventually. Again, the other Amazon delivery people are fine but one specifically is bad.

I don't think most people on HN even believe in intellectual property conceptually, much less view their activities through that lens.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but I believe Apple still absolutely has your real data as well as the ability to link it to all the anonymous throwaway addresses. They just chose not to give away that data for free to every app that is asking nicely.

I agree, this is some win for privacy against random rogue apps, but I don't see how Apple would secede anything.

Could you elaborate?
I do this myself, so I wonder if when humans are trying to minimize impact when communicating bad news, we pick language intended to diminish.

Why say "LESS THAN 1.3 percent" instead of just saying something like "1.28 percent?" You're already giving decimal-level precision. Why does "less than 1.3 percent" sound better for news like this than "over 1 percent?"
A big part of the problem is probably that the people that could force a change, the ones in power, view Google as an income stream for themselves, and since they have already accumulated a lot of personal wealth aren't particularly concerned with it slowly running out.

Phone maker Xiaomi's Miui version of Android has a feature much like this called Second Space where you can create a clean copy of the OS and only import what data you choose from your primary account. Call and SMS history is shared but not contacts, but SMS being insecure an App like telegram used in first/primary space would be more secure anyway.

I haven't really used the feature yet but thought it was a really cool idea. https://www.pcsteps.com/18454-second-android-user-account-xi...
What the US needs is a regulatory framework like GDPR that incentivizes this sort of behavior. Private data should be considered a liability, not an asset. Taking less and keeping it private+secure should be the default -- not the exception that needs calling out.

Kudos as usual to Mozilla for going out of their way to promote these principles.
Yep, this is a strong signal from Apple.

Nitpick: seceding = leaving a group, ceding = giving up something.
I always think of this story from from Walt Boomer [0].

Backstory: It's right before Gulf War I (1990).

Paraphrased from Gen. Boomer: "General Schwarzkopf asked me 'Boomer, can you get everyone we need to this location by X date?' and I responded 'Yes sir! 100%'.

Immediately after I said that, I thought to myself 'I have ABSOLUTELY no idea how to make that happen.' But we figured it out and that's what happened"

I always think of this because if one of the most experienced and highly trained members of the US armed forces can have that moment of "How the hell am I supposed to do this??", it's ok for the rest of us to have it.

In fact, maybe it's just part of the human condition that we hear that voice no matter how many times we succeed.

That story has gotten me through several tough times and hopefully it can do the same for you.

My personal experiences with FedEx in Switzerland:

very positive: a laptop from Lenovo from China + replacement keyboard from US + CD from Japan (because of some VAT-war I cannot buy anymore mp3s from amazon.com) during the last 6 months have all been delivered extremely fast and in perfect conditions.

I love FedEx' feature to be able to tell them in advance not to deliver the package at home (I work so I'm never around when they would come by) but at some shops nearby my home or nearby where I work or to just hold it back. The last time I used UPS it did not have these features (might have improved now).
It seems like it could be really good for users, but the fact that it's _required_ for any apps that use other 3rd-party sign-in options and that it's _required_ to be listed first among those options leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I can't even imagine what would happen if Google did the same thing with Google Sign In and the Play store.

The JVM is a heavy runtime, though lighter than Chromium. On second thought, apart from the slow startup, I don't really have experience with JVM desktop-side.

'I do however see a problem with non-engineers (taking your line of arguing) trying to obtain leading roles over creative processes in the field of engineering. It simply doesn't work. Or at least not efficiently."

This is the bias I am talking about. You guys are sitting at a near 0% in terms of creating new and interesting IP--and this is throughout the entire industry--I can count the good titles post-orange box era with one hand.

Technology evolved: engineers realized they need visual people now, but for everything else were like: nah, we're good.

Spoiler: you're not.

No new titles, the titles that get through are disposable flavors of the month, at best.

The amount of creativity engineers have shown is about equal to creatives skill in OOP. If a gulf engineers don't even know how to cross.

If we could quantify the difference, it would be like asking a non tech person to do your netcode. We are talking about a lifetime a shaping here, you can't backload the skills any easier than I can backload the skills to build an engine.
My take: Amazon was twisting Fedex's arm on Express to limit shipping costs related to Prime. Fedex had enough.

Chaotic behavior is by definition deterministic. What it isn't is predictable in a certain well-defined sense.
It also gives Apple far more control over the ecosystem. By not providing 3rd parties access to email, Apple makes themselves not only the controllers of the physical devices and also over the full identity of their users. My viewpoint is one of decentralization, and I don't see this move as being a long term beneficial one.

It's not a stretch of an imagination that Apple might cut a developer out of the app store for some abstract-defined violation of terms (as they do now) and now ALSO cut that developer from the identity/contact with their users. In total, this is almost the ultimate kill switch to push companies to adhere to their policies or risk a total shutout. This scenario might be considered overblown, if it wasn't that Apple already exercises pushy monopoly(esk) control on their ecosystem. The new identity system expands that control to now outside the Apple hardware ecosystem, possibly affecting platforms like Android.

I'm ranting here a little, but I think we should be cautious of accepting privacy as the sole reason Apple wants to enforce all app authentication to use.
How about the equivalent of billboard rental space for being shown in search and related listings?

Apple built an app store, it built a reputation for its app store, and now its featuring your app.

And then there is engineering costs for the toolkits, compilers, libraries that are being used to create the binaries they publish. And not a stagnant toolkit, but the expectation that the toolkits evolve. So Engineering as a Service rent fees.
>It shows Apple actively seceding an opportunity for exchanging marketing data in favour of user privacy.

Apple isn't ceding anything here. They still have your email address, they have the record of your activity on the site you're accessing. They are withholding your email address from the site you're accessing, which is good for your privacy. But you make it sound like they've sacrificed something in doing that.

If google had done this, everybody would be up in arms about how google was further overreaching in their goal to gain complete control of the internet and are preventing poor little mom and pop websites from being able to meet their marketing goals.

> potential to fuel a very expensive, possibly even existential, crisis for your company.

In terms of security breaches, this maybe SHOULD be true, but isn't.

In terms of bad feature development, it's a little melodramatic. I'm not saying you can't misinterpret something so bad it causes something catastrophic, just that it's more likely to be a couple percent drop in some subset of traffic for some cohort. Not the worst thing.

> The default shouldn't be collecting and warehousing everything, the default should be, "when in doubt, throw it out."

We have a lot of things where I work that I wish we were collecting now, not because we could use it now, but because we could use it later. And you can't go back in time and get it (usually).

Throwing data away is easy.

I wish I could have the foresight, the prescience to only store what I know I'll need.
Yeah, well... I think we can agree that it's more open source than other Phone Operating Systems. And that's besides the more important point here, which is that Huawei's developers reportedly write insecure looking spaghetti code.
As a recipient, I like them - as a pedestrian and cyclist I don't, their drivers are horrible drivers, driving too close to cyclists, cutting off pedestrians on sidewalks, etc.I assume it's because they are under a lot of time pressure to make deliveries.

> Personally, I'm fine with Apple having that kind of info as I generally trust them

...up until Apple decides to change their leadership, or their business model, or the mobile market implodes and they start looking for new revenue streams, or their relationship with the US government changes, or ...

I get that as a practical matter we are forced to trust somebody somewhere eventually, but at best we should be saying that "Apple doesn't seem motivated to abuse this information for now."
Apple will soon have an install base of a billion.

One of my complaints is sending what I consider very obvious "I'm not interested" signals - like putting in earbuds - still doesn't stop them. There's something that stops me from just saying "I'm not interested"; for one thing it labels what they're doing as hitting on me and they might argue back with me ("Hey, I'm just giving you a compliment!") and/or get upset. It's usually easier to just nod, mumble, and act much more interested in my phone than them and hope they get the hint.

What do you mean about the dating world being dangerous?

I'm a lesbian anyway, but I think regardless of gender or identity it's tough because people (including myself) are very emotionally guarded. Whether you have trouble finding dates or not, every relationship is at arms length, every plan can be dropped when a better one comes along, you "don't want to catch feelings", etc. Nobody wants to firmly commit to a time for lunch, let alone a relationship (even without monogamy).

That kind of sucks, but in terms of it being dangerous, it usually only feels physically so if you get involved with men. Emotionally though, it does feel dangerous... it sort of feels like a race to the bottom where whoever cares the least wins. I kind of miss really caring about the people I date; but they usually don't care about me, and if I do care about them, often as not that scares them off.

It's certainly a weird dating world these days.

The Metaverse is going to grow gameplay if it doesn't have it already. One of the things about video gaming that few people understand is that it's almost fundamental to computing itself because it's one of the obvious things you can do with a computer. So if you build a computer, somebody somewhere will build a game for it. As Alan Kay said: "Spacewar blossoms spontaneously wherever a computer is attached to a bit-mapped display."
People are very enthusiastic about this but this is actually not going to gain a lot of traction because

- it's more difficult to implement than FB sign in and websites don't get any of the benefits

- it works with apple devices, and it will be a nightmare to use in other devices, esp. if the user uses the private email

- Apple would control and route the emails of the user and the app! This is a big privacy hole imho.

- Apple drops users or apps without second thoughts from their ecosystem, and the web is not used to this (and is not going to change)

- Maintaining new sign options is already a hassle, adding a new one that will only be accessible to a relatively small user base, with a number of hoops makes it seem less worth it.

On the plus side though, you do know that users coming from apple sign in are probably richer and better monetizable.
Total nitpick but Nix is indeed Turing complete since it contains the untyped lambda calculus; you can write arbitrary recursive functions.
My younger brother is a professional musician, and last year he bought a boutique trombone case handmade by one guy in a cabin in Wisconsin, after over a year on the waiting list. Fedex got to his apartment building in Manhattan, realized they didn't have a code to get in, and left it on the sidewalk. My brother was waiting at home all day for this package, saw them drop it off, ran down, and it was gone when he got outside. Fedex wouldn't do anything about it, no refund, nothing. And if he had done a chargeback on the manufacturer, who wasn't really at fault, he wouldn't have been able to buy from him ever again.

So I wouldn't choose Fedex for anything valuable.
These days my rule of thumb is to not try to rewrite or generalize until I or my team has tried to do more or less the same thing three times. Before that, you just don't have a good feel for what is generalizable/edge case or what is invariant/variable in the problem space.

I've definitely run into this phenomenon of independently landing on the same design twice because of the same edge cases. At some point back in 2005 or so, I was working on a collision detection component for a physics engine. This was 1-2 years before the Box2D engine, so there was a significant lack of any open source options, so I was rolling my own stuff that was quite similar to Box2D (but Box2D was written much better).

One year later, I came back, looked at the code, thought "this is unreadable!" refactored it, and sure enough, stuff was falling through floors. I went back to my old code, found several comments discussing edge cases having to do with discrete time step problems, and concluded that my old code was in fact the right approach, it just didn't put comments about edge cases high enough in the call stack.
