> At least I am not going to lose sleep over it until Apple does abuse that power.

What if Apple abuses that power in ways that not everyone sees as "abuse", yet they are affected by it?

The reason you are not already seeing this act as abuse is because you happen to agree with it. What if you didn't agree? What if you were in the minority? What if the reason you where in the minority was that the majority simply didn't had the necessary understanding, experience and/or knowledge to see the issue you see?

If something can be abused, it will be abused, there isn't a matter of if, it is a matter of when. And with that in mind it is better to try and avoid being abused than wait for the abuse to happen and see what you can do after the fact.

The EU already does a fair amount of trade in euro.

Also, it's important to understand that for France this is a very important issue of fairness. Not just for political gain, but at the street level. We are one of the best countries in the world in terms of change between income inequality pre and post tax redistribution (meaning while we're not terrible but not great either in terms of income inequality pre taxes, post taxes and redistribution we jump to one of the best overall).

This law is not anti US (again like in my other comment: 11 of the 26 companies that fit the criterias are not from the US, several are EU based, and 4 are even french), it's merely making sure each pay (what wes believe to be) their fair share compared to the value they extract, and thus finally acting on the loophole that is "everyone knows and act like data is all the value / tax agencies should act like data has no value whatsoever so it can leave without being taxed".

It's not even a move against the weird licencing trick "à la" Starbucks or anything like that, it's merely a tax on data extracted. Either it has value, and it should be taxed, or it doesn't (or not enough) and then it's fairly easy to stop extracting it.
Because now they have to report it to their shareholders where the money is going so that if the board doesn't like it they can replace the CEO. Before since it was all google, the money went where they said it went, there was no oversight. They had this massive R&D budget that was opaque to the investors. Money that could have been paid to shareholders as a dividend or return was instead spent on projects they had no idea about.
Samsung are a strong counter-example. They're been caught red handed doing all sorts of truly nasty stuff. Pretty much anything Apple has even been suggested as doing, they've been enthusiastically up to their eyeballs in and a lot more, but they seem to just shrug off the negative press like water off a duck's back.

I think once a company develops a reputation like that, most people just get desensitised to it. Also there is a degree to which lower cost products get a pass, because hey, they must be cutting corners somewhere.
My perception of Electroboom is that he makes it blindingly obvious why you shouldn't blindly copy him: as you say, he shocks himself in almost every episode. To me, at least, the message is that if you try to do what he does, you'll get shocked, and if you don't know exactly what you're doing, those shocks can kill you (surely he very carefully calculates how much he's going to injure himself?). I find that message makes me much more careful than the generic "don't try this at home unless you know what you're doing", where I don't really have a good way to assess whether I know what I'm doing.

> When they overtake a standing queue, Bicyclists, from the point of view of drivers, are acting against the common interest of smoothly flowing traffic for their own gain and taking advantage of a temporary situation to screw up the natural order of faster vehicles at the front of the line and slower ones at the back.

Now compare that behaviour with motorists, who are acting against the common interest of society and the environment by using a 2 tonne metal box to move around, leaving air and noise pollution, death, destruction and congestion in their wake.

I realize you're only explaining the behaviours, but we've built a society that chooses convenience at the cost of over a million road deaths per year, envelops cities in smog, and is responsible for a huge chunk of CO₂ emissions.
As I see it, France may benefit from its trade with the US because it has a global trade deficit so the extra dollars from America can be used to buy, say, oil from the Gulf.
But for Germany and for EU as a whole (or China etc), the surplus dollars will probably never be used to buy anything useful so these exports look like a tribute offered to US.
I interviewed for a role at outbrain as like a... Junior account manager or something, before retraining as a Dev. So glad i missed that noise. I was a tester at an agency and that was ok and worked on some cool stuff... But this would not have been my speed at all. I didn't really know much about outbrain when I interviewed for the job, what an eye opening article.
But they didn't uninstall 'a program'. The product itself was unaffected. And, again, this was done in consultation with the makers of the 'program' who had screwed up badly enough to be unable to fix the problem themselves.

Trade balances aren't really a good measure of who is winning and losing. The more trade, the bigger the welfare gains. Shutting trade in order to close a trade deficit is bad policy. I understand that Trump uses that threat in order to get more favourable terms for the domestic producers, but I am sure he's aware of the mutual damage of blocking trade altogether.
> Someone brings this argument up _every single time_ a tech company takes action against something malicious.

The argument isn't about taking action against something malicious, the argument is about the implications of being able to take that action and what sort of power the company has and if they should have it in light of past abuses (not necessarily but that company, but this is totally irrelevant since companies are made up of people that come and go, they do not have a single "brain" or morality).

Fast Fat Loss Method For Permanent Results

Are you hoping to lose weight? There is a way to lose weight and keep the pounds off permanently without having to starve yourself or spend all your free time at the gym. Before talking about the fast fat loss method, let's take a moment to take a closer look into what makes you fat. Understanding the science behind the food regime makes it easier to start to make your weight loss dreams a reality.

To put it shortly, there is one main thing behind weight gain, and that thing is a hormone called insulin. Insulin is an important hormone, and its job is to keep your blood sugar level low enough. The pancreas starts to secret insulin when the blood sugar increases. Insulin starts to lower the blood sugar by storing it to organs. If the storage place in organs fills up, the rest of the excess energy is stored as body fat everywhere in your body. That's how you gain weight. Insulin also signals the body not to burn the accumulated body fat, and on top of that makes us eat more!

This happens because insulin continues to work even after the blood sugar is back to the regular level, making the blood sugar level drop below normal, which is then interpreted by the body as hunger (and remember, the body's energy storage units are completely full at this point). So, the feeling of hunger is basically false. You are not starving at all, quite the opposite, but fighting hunger is tough and you will most likely start to seek something to eat soon after a big meal... and the whole circle starts again.

And here is the most important fact: only some foods increase blood sugar quickly. The foods with a blood sugar raising effect are carbohydrates and sugar. Unfortunately our bodies are not really built to deal with a big number of carbs, and gaining weight means that you are consuming more carbs and sugar than your body can handle.https://optimusforexreview.com/panalean-review/

I've found that it's pretty easy to get people to inadvertently accept FaceTime calls if you continuously spam them. (I was on the receiving end of this attack.) Here's how it works.

1- It's very easy and instantaneous to redial someone on FaceTime if they decline your call. You can just spam the call button and the target will get a continuous ring, basically.

2- Even if they turn on Do Not Disturb, many people have "Repeated Calls" enabled, which lets repeat FaceTime calls break through Do Not Disturb. Neat!

3- Now they are frustrated and want to throw their phone in a bucket of water to shut it up. The only way to block you is now to get your "info" in the recent callers list, scroll down and hit the "Block this caller" option. However the constant stream of incoming FaceTime calls takes over the UI every couple seconds.

As they fiddle with their phone trying to navigate to your info and/or hit decline, eventually they inadvertently hit accept, and you see their face.

> Countries including France and the UK have accused firms of routing some profits through low-tax EU member states such as Ireland and Luxembourg.

This seems to be the problem. The EU laws have allowed these companies to avoid taxes. Small countries just next to France (Luxembourg) are able to help these companies. But France will not go against these countries and instead try to handle things through taxes.

I don't think this will workout greatly for France. France solution to everything seems to be: "Put a tax on it". The EU needs to get its crap together.

I don't like Tariffs. But if you worked internationally you should know that the US is one of the most open countries when it comes to doing business. You can open a company, a bank account, get a tax ID, buy shares in US companies, trade, etc...
Unrealistic once face recognition really takes off since your could just search for someone. In fact this has already been happening.
It's getting a sense of some kind of measurement of how it is written in the brain.
It's not understanding : brain != you. and not limited to the concept. For example, it doesn't take into account how well you "feel" about the concept. People are not computing machines per se. People are very emotional for one thing and without any research everybody knows that your current mood and state of mind influences a lot. Two people with the same understanding could fire different brain patterns, perhaps.

> Why would I want to be vulnerable to unwanted webcam access?

You shouldn't want. But at the same time i do not think it is a good idea to want Apple to be able to silently remove arbitrary applications they had nothing to do with from your computer.

At the very least they should ask the user about it or quarantine the software and inform the user about it. AFAIK this is what Windows Defender does when it finds malicious files.
Another way is to just use a body case or "shell" and applying the stickers to that. It may not perfectly match the original aluminum look but it provides more protection and personalization.

Not sure I agree with the analysis, at least on France.

France's top exports to the US are aircraft parts and beverages (wine).

Since the US needs those parts to export the (assembled) planes, I think the aircraft lobby (e.g. Boeing) will press hard to prevent a tariff here because it'd raise rates across the board, so that leaves wine: My hunch is even a 100% tariff on wine is unlikely to dissuade anyone from purchasing French wine -- the American wine is better, so the only people buying it are people who really wanted French wine anyway oh là là.

I don't know yet what I think about a trade war with all of Europe though.
In Denmark, every year or two someone will put a tag around all the bicycles parked somewhere overnight. After a month or so, the still-tagged bicycles will be removed.

Windows Defender will not silently remove the software completely, it will quarantine it and make sure you know about its actions (i mean, it does make sure you know it exists even when there are no issues by its constant "Windows defender scanned your system and found no issues" notifications).

At this point it is up to the user to decide what to do and most non-technical users will leave it at that (and wont know what else to do) which should keep them safe.

Poorly phrased tagline:

You're confusing quantum trajectories for classical ones. The latter are what we use in path-integral formulations, and constitute a single path through spacetime. No such path exists for quantum states, since that would be a local hidden-variable theory (which has been experimentally ruled-out).

National sovereignty versus globalisation again. Is it reasonable for a company to make profits from customers in a country and then not pay that country's profit-based taxes?

(Also, the US trying to bully France on this one is unlikely to go well, that tends to trigger a French nationalist response.)
If my math is correct then most of the companies are American, and by far most of the potential revenue.

Considering the rhetoric leading to this tax and the french government's many raids and failed investigations into US companies and their taxes it's difficult even with careful wording for the french government to deny the actual target of this tax in a WTO type setting.

The analogy you make is helpful, but it immediately brings attention to one thing: you generally don' invite "someone in a cordial but not really friends relationship with a family member" to stay with you all the time, day and night. People you do let stay with you are people whom you either trust, or expect to trust as the relationship develops. There's no relationship development with an Echo - it's forever an agent of a faceless corporation that's indifferent to you.

You probably mean:

"A quantum measurement influences the system being observed: The act of observation injects a kind of random noise into the system. This is ultimately the source of Heisenberg’s famous uncertainty principle."

I'd agree that's an inaccurate description of the uncertainty principle, but then the following sentences are:

"The uncertainty in a measurement is not, as Heisenberg initially thought, an effect of clumsy intervention in a delicate quantum system—a photon striking a particle and pushing it off course, say. Rather, it’s an unavoidable outcome of the intrinsically randomizing effect of observation itself."

I'm not sure I could explain it better at this level...

You absolutely wouldn't want user data stored in app bundles. You can back up all user data by backing up /Users/ or /home/ on Linux.

As an application developer, I want to be able to drop a new bundle over the old version and NOT LOSE ANY USER DATA. The only way to do that is separate them completely.
personally i quite like to be able to firewall off work from the rest of my life, having separate computers for work and for personal use is one way that can help achieve that. easy way to avoid accidentally checking work comms when you're not being paid to work -- don't use the work machine at all. but i understand not everyone feels the same way. i like to be able to use my own choice of peripherals (keyboard, mouse, screen, headphones/speakers) but i dont particularly care about using a work machine.

what's far more irritating than a work machine is work-related corporate crapware on the work machine. e.g. mandatory antivirus that bogs down disk io, security policy settings that restrict your ability to install software, etc etc.

i offer three data points:

* at small young software-oriented business (headcount 10-20): work provided each employee with a laptop they could use to work from home or from the office on, but people could pretty much do whatever they wanted with those machines, or work using other computers if they chose.

* at large new non-software company (headcount ~10,000): working as a contractor, the company let you remote in from your own machine, and started offering BYOD as an option when you were on site, or to use work-provided hardware on site.

* at huge old non-software financial company (headcount ~50,000): thou shalt follow the company IT and company security policies, thou can work from home using company equipment, although the company configures the equipment to make it very difficult to get any software development work done (because security)
