I suppose it's fair game to rathole on Bitcoin because OP was the first to mention it....

It would have been interesting if Bitcoin had included a rule that coins must move every 100,000 blocks or so (about two years) or else were gradually returned to the pool of unmined bitcoin. Only gradual would help increase the chance that a half-asleep holder might notice a slow drain and do something about it, and it would reduce mining windfalls from thousands of coins returning all at once in a certain block. Lost or abandoned bitcoin would eventually return to circulation, and holders would better understand from the outset that preserving their keys was an active responsibility.

Japan is not tearing down any nuclear plants, we are building more. Nobody wants to increase carbon emissions here, it’s just that we have growing demand that cannot be met without importing. A huge chunk of energy in Japan is imported but we are slowly adding renewables and more nuclear. It’s silly to think that a country WANTS to depend on imports for a majority of its energy needs. The energy department has a forecast to 2030 somewhere out there (a pdf) and the goal is to reduce imports while putting more into renewables.

> Facebook isn't doing fractional reserve

I think a better description would be: Facebook says that right now they're not planning to do fractional reserve. There's nothing holding them to this promise. There's also no control that their partners in Libra will keep it.

It may well be the same situation as tether (or worse).
I thought so too. When I was 16 I moved to a university dormitory. It was flat with 3 rooms and 2 people in each room. I was FreeBSD mega-geek but my roommate was a Linux fan(lately he moved to FreeBSD too). We were writing our own fork of DWM(https://dwm.suckless.org/) with functionality like in hackers films, using text-based clients for email, IRC, ICQ(it was really popular in Russia in that time), lynx, etc. It was like we are a hippie-hackers from 70th with a long hair(my was about 70 cm) and very creepy beards. It was really awesome because of no one except us have on so deep knowledge of networks and Unix systems. We were kings of the local network because the building was new without a local network, so we build it from scratch.

And now, 15 years later ... I have a MacBook Pro and iPhone. I'm so lazy. Every day at work I write tons of C/C++ code. I know how works Linux TCP/IP stack, TLS, HTTP1/2/3. But I just want to watch the new Stranger Things episode after the workday. I don't have any customization app for OS X. No special hotkeys or c00l h4x0r terminal app.
I find it pretty hard to make sense of an argument that frames the removal of trivially exploitable, extremely privacy-violating malware from users' systems as a 'wrong'. The software itself continues to work and was minimally affected, if at all. If quickly intervening to protect your customers' privacy from an egregious threat is wrong, I want all my vendors to be wrong.
That's it right there. This isn't some gray area, questionable thing like that time they pushed a David Bowie song onto people's iTunes. Remember that? People completely lost their minds over it, and I agree with the sentiment.

This isn't third-party anything. No one even knew this was running on their machine and it was demonstrably abusable. Good riddance!

I'd argue that linux distros have this power, too, and they haven't either (unless you use a snap, which has compatibility and performance issues).

If you uninstall a .deb or .rpm or AppImage, the files you wrote into XDG_CONFIG_HOME (defaults to ~/.config) won't magically get cleaned up.

I'd love to be wrong here, BTW! I've had several PhotoStructure users try to reset their configuration by uninstall/reinstall, but that just removes the files in the installer, it doesn't do anything to files in user directories (and I'd be really surprised if that was ever a thing). Can you imagine the havoc from `apt remove vscode` and having it remove user's keybindings, extensions, and anything else?

The statement is false. CORS - cross origin request sharing - only adds permission. CORS could allow you to display off-site images through WebGL, but it cannot prevent it.

CORB - cross origin request blocking - is what prevents you from doing it.

This sounds pedantic, but it seems that till people understand that browsers implement CORB unless a server implements CORS (or in whitelisted/legacy circumstances), they cannot understand their problems or the solutions. This is largely the fault of browser vendors, who seem to act as if everyone understand CORB and their only task is to educate you about CORS.

There are reports there was another RCE that Zoom didn’t/wouldn’t fix. This is what Gatekeeper and the built-in anti-malware engine is suppose to do — remove malware. If you don’t want this feature, you can turn it off, but this is a sane default and a good thing.

Apple didn’t flex anything here, it removed malware from its users computers.

> that's not the threat model that I'm avoiding by not using devices like the Echo or Google Home.

100% this. IF a state intelligence agency is after my data they'll get it somehow (most likely just by asking). My concern is the rampant dragnet aggregation of personal data that I didn't expressly provide them by companies like Google and Facebook. I mean, Google having access to your emails that you store in Gmail? Kind of understandable. Google buying MasterCard transaction records to cross-reference against your web browsing data as tracked by any site using Google Analytics? No.
Wipe out all the things that you create with the app? All the text you created when you uninstall a text editor, the photos you touched up and saved under a new name, the audio recordings you made?
Kind of surprised this is a thing: seems like showing up with a 5$ bill or credit card and getting coffee and change back (whether from a human or from a coffee vending machine) would be a fine process.

If one is a regular coffee drinker and finds that inefficient, buying a coffee machine for home/work seems like a better solution than attempting to "order ahead" and still having to physically get to the coffee shop.

Obviously this app might still have some marginal utility, maybe enough to be a viable business.
Yes. Pixar has a template:

One day ___.

Because of that, ___.

Because of that, ___.

Pixar movies are "nobody becomes somebody due to external event". That's a common pattern, beaten to death in the Star Wars franchise. But it's not the only pattern. It's not Game of Thrones. It's not Star Trek. It's not even most winners of "Best Picture" Oscars.

I would posit if you want new original programming you might want to watch documentaries.

I feel like a huge portion of trash in Manhattan is due to single use utensils and container for food take out. The plastic bag ban that will take affect in 2 years doesn't even affect takeout.

The trash problem in Manhattan has to do with density and lack of room for dumpsters in semi-public space, so it isn't more trash but just making manifest the same trash problem as everywhere else but on a local scale. This is a good microcosm for politics.

I use next to no paper at work, don't even bring a backpack, and yet use plastic utensils every day. I'm stuff-free except this most basic wasteful junk.

I would like to in addition to banning single use plastics also require that all offices have dish washers, and all take out places allow you to bring your own container.
IT departments at larger tech companies may be interested in this. Every time an employee leaves or they recall equipment they need to remove stickers, a manual and time consuming process. The key question is whether the amount of time to apply this coating is significantly less than removing individual stickers later?
Not only you, but your kids. People have lost sponsorships and contracts because of things one of their parents said before the person in question was even born.

I don’t have the keyboard, but it’s my understanding that application developers can customize the lights on the keyboard. For example if you die in the game your keyboard turns red.

To do that you need IPC, and a JSON endpoint is the most popular form of RPC. If the server listens on localhost, I don’t see any issue with it - any issue you would have with IPC, you would have with this style of of RPC.

Now they could have provided a library to communicate directly with the keyboard - but I think the drawback was games developers didn’t want to integrate it into their games.
"add and remove programs" is still relying on the application developer to get it right. I've seen plenty of apps leave behind crap.
They're really helpful in preventing our own outages. Although it's ironic how many of them boil down to having things so well automated that one mistyped command can take down an entire environment with extreme efficiency.
Apple only does so when it's also convenient to their bottom line. They provide the Chinese government backdoor access to iMessage, remove VPN apps from their store to enable censorship, and have we all forgotten they are a PRISM partner? These actions seem pretty "evil" to me.

That's it exactly. If you're into Haskell or Swift, Rust isn't that strange. To a C or C++ or Go programmer, Rust is very strange.

Rust has some brilliant ideas, but it's too hard. Go is rather dumb, but good for getting server-side applications running.
The same forces that require several levels of management make it increasingly difficult to enforce ethical decisions. Basically, when no one person can keep track of all the moving pieces you get splits around what individuals think is acceptable behavior. The larger organizations grows the more things tend to diverge, with different branches often having wildly different perspectives.

This tends to further degrade as new employees are added and any whatever original vision was going on continues to degrade over time. Especially as both the times and even business models change.
What field are you with so much red tape that you need a lawyer cofounder?
> Apple also apparently didn't even notice

Do they have any information about enterprise apps? As I understand it, Apple never phones home with app info (such as the identifier, name, etc) when verifying or installing enterprise-signed apps, so the only thing they know is probably the IP address requesting to verify the enterprise-signed app and the frequency of how often Apple devices do this certificate verification.

Considering FB and Google have many employees in all different parts of the world, it wouldn't be too suspicious to see a good amount of diversity between GeoIP regions.

Correct me if i'm wrong about what info Apple collects about enterprise apps.

Barth asked first: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_in_the_Funhouse

This piece title is from that opening line. The DFW connection is quite striking, as Wikipedia sums up:

> The story "Lost in the Funhouse" had an overt influence on David Foster Wallace in the final novella of Girl with Curious Hair, "Westward the Course of Empire Takes Its Way". The protagonist takes a creative writing course at a school near Johns Hopkins, taught by a Professor Ambrose, who says he "is a character in and the object of the seminal 'Lost in the Funhouse'"
The same way I feel about antivirus in general: they have tons of false positives that turn them into an effective form of censorware (cracks, keygens, demoscene stuff, Hello World programs[1][2], etc.) and are very unlikely to actually protect you from a 0-day. If I happen to have a file I want to run but feel suspicious and can't be bothered analysing it myself, which is a very rare case indeed, I upload it to one of the services that scans it with a dozen or more AVs to see what they think. Even then I will not use my main OS to try it first.

That said, in the context of my original comment, AVs are a bit of a special case because their sole and expected purpose is to detect and remove software they don't like.

> It's like a startup scene but how things used to be done before YC.

Jeebus. Things aren't better or worse after YC, they're just different. YC is the same kind of content farm as Netflix. It's not that YC can't produce great startups, it's that so many "dumb money" investors rely heavily on YC as an initial signal that it's (1) more difficult to succeed if you're not YC and (2) if you are YC and fail (statistically likely), you are blackmarked in a pretty terrible way. Many businesses take multiple iterations to succeed.

YC was great when it had 30 great founders in the same way Netflix was great when it first aired Black Mirror. We have to find more robust funding models for promising teams (in all verticals) that don't get compromised by immediate cashflow requirements. Or else we end up with a Miley Cyrus Disney-Ending Black Mirror episode that... we... liked... but what happened to the dystopian horrors we thought we were paying for?

On the other hand, arranged marriages tend to take place in very conservative areas with a low tolerance for divorce (legal or social) and tend to be favored by individuals with a low tolerance for divorce (cultural). A more accurate study would perform a cohort analysis of divorce rate across regions as divorce becomes legalized and normalized.

Good questions all around! What's surprising is that the 220M figure only accounts for daily purchases. Americans actually drink over 400M cups of coffee every day. A cup is definitely an odd metric to measure by, it's just the simplest term to define a coffee or espresso-based drink.

To clarify, this is measuring the U.S.-only, the global market is obviously much larger. I know it may seem high, but it's a lot easier to put into perspective that the average American over 18 years old drinks 2 cups of coffee per day.

In terms of competition, because coffee is just now warming up to the concept of pick-up, and the majority of the order-ahead market is delivery-focused, we are at an advantage for optimizing that pick up experience and gaining traction from there. We partner with shops that offer every mobile ordering service, we partner with others that only want one - it'll certainly be something we keep an eye on as we grow.
University of Melbourne's Visualize Your Thesis Competition
If you don't want to wait or make your own coffee, this seems like a great choice.

Clearly Starbucks has already proved out the viability with its order-ahead app, and like they say, that only represents 2.5% of the coffee market.

They did a great job of explaining why this is an interesting place to bring a solution. It just seems like such a low barrier of entry that I imagine competitors will spring up quickly, just like other order-ahead, delivery, and rewards apps of the past.

Well said. Apple loves to flex muscle as a show of force - virtue signaling - when there is some great drama going on. It is terrifying to know they have covert remote root code execution on Macs and iPhones at all times, which they may use without your consent of even knowledge. To me, that is a greater security risk and the reason I will not use their products in favor of open source operating systems only. It saddens me to see how soon people forget Apple participates in PRISM surveillance and has been literally criticized for human rights violations in China, yet invite them to control their computers. I expect people will down-vote this comment, but expressing my disgust for such an authoritarian world view is more important to me, and should be recognized as such by the hacker community. Unfortunately it seems too many of us will sacrifice autonomy and control for the promise of centrally-administered, ominous "security" working in the shadows.

>It effectively breaks their sandbox model

The sandbox only applies to software devs that want to use it or those that wish to sell through the Mac App Store. I don't think Zoom is in the MAS at all (I don't see it in a quick search anyway), and a standalone installer is free to do whatever it wants and can convince users to go along with (up to and including, in principle, bypassing SIP though since that significantly raises the effort bar I've only ever seen niche stuff request it). And it's completely legitimate to want to run a server on your system too, there is no hole. Zoom simply acted as malware, taking actions without user permission.
