Yes, it's very common to only allow corporate laptops provisioned with a standard image, certificates etc. If you need to remote in then you must have a corporate laptop.

From a security standpoint it is risky and amateurish to allow VPN from an unknown device under someone else's management.

These are unimportant details, the issue is with Apple modifying people's computers silently and the users themselves having no knowledge or any say about it.

Replace this instance with something that you disagree about (imagine Apple removing VPN software from Chinese customers due to demands from China or "fixing" existing VPN software with backdoors that enable Chinese authorities to wiretap Chinese people) and see what the issue is here.

(if that example would happen or not is irrelevant, i'm making it to help you see the issue in a context i think you'd disagree with Apple about, i'm not making it for you to argue if that would happen or not)

Surprised that no one has mentioned the problem with actual death. Anyone can take dead person's account and there's nothing a dead person can do. You could argue that if the dead person hasn't passed them on to an heir that it's better to put the coins back into circulation. But giving it to the first-comer seems strange and likely to go to someone already with large resources.

Here's what I don't get: What is being exchanged of value here?

In all but one case in this analysis, the only thing that is worth something is the click. A click not leading to a credit card transaction.

Take the case of the 5G ad. If you convince a user to click on that and then on one of the ads on the google results, someone gets $10. Nothing of value unless the user also has interest in the super specialized networking equipment being sold, something that seems extraordinarily unlikely.

This is a form of fraud isn't it? You're just putting a few million page views in the mix and calling it legitimate behavior when someone accidentally clicks once in a while.

> You can do as much testing as you want

With what Dark is promising, I believe testing would be easier. Deploy to a test environment in 50ms. Then run a suite of tests, then deploy to production in 50ms.

There could be some complementary tech that figures out what tests need to be run based on what you change to get the time down.
> I would like Apple to use more of their resources to figure out how to do conflict-free consumer electronics.

I would like that as well, but I understand how that's difficult for them to do, too: making public that you're working on that, is also making public the deficiencies you have in that area currently - something many consumers are not aware of, and of which they may think it applies only to you.

That's why initiatives like Fairphone's are good. That said, I've followed their blog [1] for a while, and occasionally they've been part of initiatives of which other phone manufacturers have been part as well (I recall something about Nokia and Congo). I think they just don't publicise that for the reasons I outlined above.

But you're assuming 4k word privacy policies are bad behaviour.

No currency "has value". For dollars, it's the US government.

Bitcoin has value for three main reasons: 1) it can be used to buy stuff online, and can be anonymized; 2) it's not controlled by governments; and 3) it's a popular speculative asset.

The first two aren't about novelty. Sure, if something else comes along that does those things better, people will shift. But none of the existing alternatives has managed that yet.

The third does have a huge novelty component. And personally, I wish that all the bloody speculators would just piss off. But whatever, I can live with them. And free money is cool too.
Hmm...I would say that cat.meow() has higher cohesion and lower coupling than meow(cat). Which is exactly what you want.

So, queue jumping is a moral act as long as the people you’re jumping in front of are bad people? Even if so, they’re most of the population and making someone angry is rarely a good tactic to convince them to help you.

It’s possible to disagree with everything someone stands for and still treat them with civility. Many people on both sides of this debate that are concerned primarily with their own convenience, and this should be a rational policy discussion instead of a holy war.
> the EU has higher tariffs

The estimated trade weighted average of tariffs by the US after the tariff announcements in 2017 was 2.2%. I couldn't find any more recent number. [1]

For the EU this appears to be around 1.8% (2017). [2]

It is true that the EU used to have higher tariffs though, but I don't think this is still true with the new, recent tariffs by the US.

You can find the old number of 1.7% by the US in the second link I provided.

In any case those numbers are still low. The US was at 2.3% and the EU at 3% in 2015. [3]

That depends a lot on how you define "good journalism".

Journalism is ultimately writing about what you see and investigating it to get the facts. Most stories are broken by just one journalist, big ones sometimes multiple. Journalists don't earn very much either. This isn't an expensive endeavour compared to many things even quite small companies routinely do, like build and run a TV advertising campaign.

Moreover a lot of hard-hitting journalism appears to run on a shoestring. Look at Project Veritas. It's breaking a series of scoops about the internal behaviour of Valley firms, and it seems to basically be one or two people plus some cameras and a website.

I think it is fantastic that this kind of innovation is happening. I get sick of waiting for stuff at work, some kind of build or CI thing. npm i, docker build or whatever else. I hope the language experience is good, and it's a reasonable language (static typing!).

It sounds like taking the Go idea of quick builds to the next level.
The idea of giving credit to original creativity, citing sources properly, etc, can be very difficult.

I have had lots of ideas that were derivative of other people's work. Maybe almost all of my ideas. Coming up with anything truly unique is super hard!

I have written a lot in my career, but most of it is for clients and courts. Much of it is quite original in a sense, because the facts of any two circumstances are never quite the same. However, my legal writing is almost certainly never going to be used by anyone else to make money or take credit that I might otherwise think should be mine. But I have made money by doing all of this writing.

On the other hand, I used to be a professional editor and sometimes writer. Some of that work could much more easily be used by someone else either to make money or to be passed off as their original ideas etc. That's where I would start to feel bothered if I weren't given credit or compensated for that work.

But the actual work of coming up with ideas, writing them down, and giving them to someone else to read is not really very different between those two (or three if you count writing and editing as different) jobs! So why would I feel differently? Why do I want credit for one, but not the other?
Like the concept, but I'm on Windows so I'll try out some of the alternatives mentioned in these comments.

Lol at 'American wine is better'. It sure feels nice to pay $17 for a much-touted fancy bottle that turns out to be meh at best when in the States. Meanwhile you could just pick anything at random for like 3€ in any French or Italian grocery store and still get something decent. I probably didn't try everything the land of the free has to offer but this offside remark really makes me wonder what is considered good there.

AFAIK the case against Boeing is still open. Arguably Airbus is getting direct subsidies (WTO ruling) while Boeing seems to get pampered by overpriced defense contracts which has the same result more or less (no WTO ruling yet). Conclusion is nobody is innocent, just guilty in different ways.

My partner came up with a joke many years ago which I have actually heard repeated in more recent years.

It's not a good joke, but I still laugh whenever I hear it.

"what does a dyslexic zombie say?"
Oh I've seen this plenty of times when it comes to the possible idea of one being influenced by a brand to the point of carrying their logo/promoting them for free.

Like those who do it are shills, easily influenced, sheeps, etc - and the ones who don't are completely immune to any branding/advertising/marketing, because of reasons (usually there's a sense of superiority bound to it).

Funny enough, this is just an illusion to them, because it doesn't matter what they think, they're still influenced by brands, by the simple fact that every single product/service is branded and signals something to someone, even if the signaling is "I don't buy into corporate brands". Because that's how humans work, with symbols and signals.

To make matters worst, it's when you think you're immune to such thing that you're most vulnerable. It's like you're a sitting duck.

The sooner you embrace we're influenced everyday, the sooner you'll be more aware of it and prepared for it.
At least in Germany, the Maker Faires still seem to be doing fine. They are done by Maker Media GmbH, which is part of Heise Publishing Group (they do the c't and iX magazines). They don't publish numbers on how specifically Maker Media is doing, but at least the Maker Faires seem to be doing OK since they pretty much have record visitor numbers every year and are expanding (the one I go to in Hannover will expand from 2 to 3 halls this year).

I guess the trick is to find the sweet spot in the exhibitors. You need to have plenty of "real Makers", otherwise the Faire loses its spirit, but you also need commercial exhibitors from which you can get "real" money. I remember from last year in Hannover, the big commercial exhibitors were Nintendo (who showcased their Labo stuff), Volkswagen, and Conrad Electronics (big reseller here in Germany). Also, lots of food trucks outside. But all in all, it was still acceptable in my book, and my kid loved it. So I think this can well be done with profit, but I guess that being part of a big technical publishing group also creates lots of synergy which saves cost.

Blimey, this is really stretching the definition of AI, surely? It’s a piece of glass that has been designed by a lot of trial and error to perform one specific task.

CVE-2019-11360: BufferOverflow in iptables-restore v1.8.2
From a purely pragmatic point of view, this is probably a bad idea. My take is that new architectures/ABIs get a certain "budget" for doing "weird" things. Every choice you take that isn't the same as existing mainstream architectures (and notably everything that's not the same as x86) is extra work to get the software ecosystem to support your new architecture. So you really want to pick and choose what you're spending your weirdness budget on, because if you blow your budget then the result is that too much software will fail to support your new architecture in a timely way. Another example of this is that there's an argument that an ascending stack would be better than a descending stack -- but almost everybody (HPPA being the only exception I can think of offhand) has a descending stack, so you have to really really believe in the merits of ascending stacks to pick that over "just do what the rest of the world does".

How co-op accelerators and incubators are supercharging a worker-owned economy
As said in a lot of the replies here, it simply mean for the interviewer : "Can this person work in our team" outside of the inherent quality of the person. For programmers for instance, are you the type that want to documents every single line, create complicated interfaces ? Are you a hacker type, delivering as fast as you can, knowing that you'll be able to fix it later if a new requirement comes in?
There's nothing inherently wrong with any of that. Depending on the scale of the products, the tech debt and the organisation, it's obviously going to be different. You don't hire the same developer to work on a startup prototype than to work on a 5 years old enterprise application.

Basically, you're asking: "okay, that person has the necessary skills. But will they be happy working with us and will we be happy working with them".

As other comments mentioned, it can be other thing than technical culture fit. Is can be taste in culture for instance.
Is the team a bunch of geeks that regularly play games together and would not fit well with someone who likes sport for instance. Or are they heavy drinkers, having a pint every evenings, and you should fit into that too.

If the company has issues (ever-changing requirements, overtime is the norm, technical debt is never addressed etc.), it can also be a way to predict if the candidate will be able to wistand those, or will leave before the end of their probation.
Code deployment is almost always trivial and fast. It's the databases that are slow and very tricky, especially in distributed systems.

annoyingly in some circles the phrase 'tech' became synonymous with "user facing software" around the last 10 years or so, so now everyone is baffled when Walmart writes software.

And maybe to make a larger point, I think there's been bad consequences of constantly overhyping the innovation happening in web technology and software, while underestimating the innovation in manufacturing, aeorospace, defense, logistics and so on. There's much more overlap between the general economy and the latter, and it's much more regionally diverse. I think we could have done a little better if more talent went into those 'boring' sectors, rather than building the next sharing app in the valley.
