The iphone went from being a bit of a computer accessory to a standalone platform. The next watch OS release is likewise transitioning to not needing a phone in order to be set up.

I assume they want the watch to become a standalone platform (or at least, similarly to the ipod, a companion device to either an iphone or android phone), ultimately replacing your need for a phone at all.

That last statement of mine sounds absurd to me, but then again who would have predicted 10 years ago that many people would have a smart phone but no laptop nor desktop?
Vacuum cannot have a temperature, by the definition you are using. This makes it useless for certain tasks, such as determining the temperature an object within a vacuum will stabilize at over time. Thus, we use a different definition of temperature - because saying 'the temperature an object will stabilize at' every time instead of 'temperature' is really wordy.
In some cases corporate unsuccess leeds to happiness. I've seen this in my case once. And hope that I'll not need to see this again.
Whatever I have read is that Jobs invented not much but he was good at looking at other people’s work and see if there is potential or not. I just read a book about iPhone development and there it’s the same. The devs are demoing different stuff to Jobs and he is good at picking the right one. But he doesn’t create anything.
Hm... are you sure you're not misreading the timeline and what happened?

Because as far as I can tell, Qualys did include precise exploit details [1], and the attacks happened 8 days after they did that, meaning in fact the inclusion of source code details would have caused the exploitations in the wild!

Here's the timeline I can find:

CISA reported this vulnerability as being exploited in the wild on June 13 [2]. According to a June 14 article [3], this came one week after Qualys disclosed the bug, which means they must've been referring to the the announcement Qualys made on June 5 [1]. When you look at that announcement, it in fact included full details on how to exploit the vulnerability ("a local attacker can simply send a mail to [...] and execute arbitrary commands") on top of explaining in precise detail the vulnerable piece of code in the (open-source!) source code.

More info on the timeline is in [4]. They refer to a May 27 report, which I cannot find online. I assume it must've been a private disclosure. In any case, it doesn't seem to be what SCMagazine was referring to, given CISA only reported this on June 13 and SCMagazine referred to that on June 14.

So... if I'm reading this right, it seems in fact it almost certainly was the precise exploit details that made the bad guys move quickly. Right?

Jesus, give them a break. Someone who's practically a mega-corp like Stripe can launch a new product with a flashy landing page on HN and everyone discusses it without issue.

There's a bit of a double standard.

Some info about disgraced former International Development Secretary Priti Patel, who is the UK's new Home Secretary (a position that looks after home affairs such as crime, security, terrorism, immigration, citizenship).

- She resigned from her previous position as International Development Secretary in 2017 when it was discovered she held secret unauthorised meetings with Israeli officials and lied about it. The meetings were not sanctioned by the Foreign Office and were a breach of ministerial code.

- A supporter of Brexit, she suggested last year that the UK leverage the prospect of food shortages in Ireland in order to gain a better Brexit deal. Although, she quickly back-pedalled on her comments, she was rightly criticised for her remarks.

The depressing reality is that the current Conservative Party in the UK is stuffed to the rafters with nasty politicians just like her.

Priti Patel's voting record in parliament: https://www.theyworkforyou.com/mp/24778/priti_patel/witham/v...

"Generally voted for requiring the mass retention of information about communications"

"Voted for mass surveillance of people’s communications and activities"
I completely agree. I also think there is a racial and class bias to this. Both Rich and middle class white people are taught to complain to authority figures to get their way. Poor people assume they don't understand the system and don't have time to do research or consult with family members to let them know that they are being fucked over.

At the moment I can't find how long it takes them to step on the gas, maybe that's classified or something, but it's pretty clear they can at least turn around quickly once they're going fast. Of course, deck operations,etc might delay such maneuvers.

My guess? If modern warships can't maneuver effectively against traditional torpedoes, Russia would not have spent the money developing supercavitating torpedoes.

I partly agree with you that this article is getting buzz because FB, but this is not low quality research by any means (especially given the constraints of obtaining such data). There are, as you point out, a bunch of similar ECoG "brain decoding" papers out there that don't get upvoted to the top of HN.

Also, minor point - I don't think FB is trying to make a portable MRI. The physical limitations alone would make that a completely silly endeavor, even for SV billionaires.
And if you got the new model with the wireless charging case and have a charging pad you may even forget they need to be charged at all.

It seems quite odd that he lumps "Mens rights advocates" in there. Are they crazy?

That's not the point. You shouldn't have to map caps lock to escape.
You'd be surprised to learn how fucking stupid most bad guys are.
> Would intelligence and LE also be ok with that same rules applying to them?

Intelligence agents willingly sacrifice much of their personal privacy as a condition of their security clearance, so by selection bias would be more willing to subject others to loss of privacy.
I think the trends you are seeing, are most likely due to bias and not objective analysis. Try as we might, humans are subjective beings and truth is difficult for us discern, especially with so many variables.

Oh, for sure. A lot of folks are doing really interesting things that others could learn from and they don't stop and write something up that helps the industry grow that much more. I'm glad y'all wrote this up; I might do a similar one!
Thank you. Reading the comments on HN always leaves me wondering if I'm the only one that doesn't have any interest in any kind of biometric unlock feature.
Why Pattern Discovery Matters
I've never labelled myself as "leaker" nor whatever I discovered as "leaks"

That's what I find funny/absurd about the amount of stuffs I found just by diving the app's code

Maybe if companies stop bloating their apps with the features that only 1% of the world will ever be able to use, I wouldn't have been able to discover all these?
> from seeing someone waste resources

I think the word "waste" really doesn't apply to just shifting money between people. Although there may be waste elsewhere (or it may be just unfair).
This is Apple's News+ in the nutshell, so federated subscription service you're envisioning would have to compete with Apple.

>[...]being right comes at the expense of another being wrong. The problem is that there is nothing wrong with being wrong[...]

I think this hits the nail on the head, completely.

I think a large part of it, for me at least, was that school taught me that wrong is bad. Not knowing an answer is bad. Failure. It took many years after school to correct that belief - and I'm much happier for it.

Being wrong is great, in a way. Of course I'd like to be right about everything all the time but I know that's not possible. Being wrong lets me know that I have an opportunity to learn what is right.
Just curious about the number. I don’t know if there is a translation problem, but “2 million people” sounds not exactly the same as “2 million individuals” since some of them might be counted twice or more. It would be illuminating to know the real number of individuals ever participated.
As opposed to on your computer connected to the internet?
This would be fine if it were opt-in (and especially, opt-in per session). It's not. It's opt-out, and the opt-out is rather hidden (IIRC you have to use a web browser, you can't even opt out from devices running Netflix).
ARPNET didn't turn into what it is today because of military usage, and OGAS didn't fail because of it's resource management use. They lived or died because of money. The United States and Soviet Union both had to build all of the precursors and fabric that these systems would run on (telephone lines, computers, etc), which both did. The next logical step was for computers to co-opt existing national infrastructure and create a national network of computers. The Soviet Union faltering elsewhere is why OGAS didn't develop and ARPANET did.
The fourth amendment covers search and seizure by the government, not the willful disclosure of information to a company by a user.

But I get what you mean. Even without getting into my inherent distrust of facial recognition systems and the security/privacy implications of creating the infrastructure for it to work reliably, biometrics are usernames. They shouldn't be used as passwords.
It's also probably doable as a law (which is to say a law that states that healthcare org must sell services using a fixed price list, which the org determines beforehand).

There are many reasons outside the seller's control that you'd have to, god forbid, pickup the package at your local post office or branch. Doubly true when it comes to international shipments or shipments requiring a signature.
Camera tech seems to be an obvious choice. But, they could go as far out there as doing drug research. Apple is a giant multinational corporation, they could get into any market.
> A shiny new aircraft carrier is supposed to prevent that how, exactly?

Prevent? More like deter. The question would be do the Iranians think it would be worth the likely counter attack from a carrier battle group or two in order to shutdown the straits.

Better than buying carriers at these prices would be energy independence from the middle east. That's pretty difficult since the east coast of the US is very reliant on middle eastern crude. The refineries there only refine that crude, and there is no way to get the needed fuel there from elsewhere in the US.

Additionally, if the economies of the Far East were to crater due to idiocy on the part of Iran, the US and Europe would likely follow.
What's wrong with touch id? I never used face id, but fingerprint sensor on iPhone 8 is good. It unlocks at the same time I'm pressing on button, so most of the time I don't notice it at all. And I almost never getting false negatives. I can't imagine how face id might be better, but I can imagine how it can be worse.
Exactly what has been leaked from Google?

Google makes money by targeting users, not by selling their data.

I don't like ads in general, but privacy is not lost because of Google.

Cambridge Analytica run on FB for a reason.
Vax emulation would probably get them out of the hole. Was it VMS or OpenVMS because I cannot conceive of a UNIX program which could not be ported out. If they wrote to the VMS structured FS semantics (its a typed-record index file model direct in the filesystem layer) then I could believe there were corner cases they did not want to explore.
Or you can always make it illegal, and no commercial chat program will ship with it.

Then you confiscate devices and jail people when you believe (or have "reasonable suspicion") that they use one.

Problem solved for the 99% of the population!
I’ve been thinking of starting a cult. Not a real cult. It would explicitly be a fake cult, and it would have rules to prevent all the evil stuff cults do. But there’s a reason that people join and become very committed to them (or religions). They provide a community, a sense of common purpose, and a support network. Artificially replicating that while cutting out the bad stuff, and scaling that to the level of the Catholic Church or Islam would be the biggest thing one could do to improve human happiness in developed countries in my opinion.
Yep – Heroku calls them Review Apps. We are recreating this functionality in a platform-agnostic way (so you don't have to be tied to Heroku – i.e. it can work if you deploy with AWS, Gcloud, etc), and additionally overlaying tools on top of the running environment to help your team communicate more effectively.
I used to write pretty complex 2d games in RPL on my HP-50g in high school and man, the density of the code was absolutely amazing. For some reason that I can't quite explain, using a stack based system can produce shorter code than any other paradigm (maybe besides APL and derived languages). But I also found the programs to be almost impossible to read and modify even just a couple days after writing.

There's no doubt that I'm nowhere near as smart as Chuck, but I don't think I could handle a million line code base in Forth or RPL. Maybe the equivalent million line C program would only be 10000 lines or something, but I'm not sure I could handle that either.

I've thought about the problem of readability and understandability of RPN languages and syntax, and I wonder where it comes from. I have a theory that it relates to some fundamental structure of the brain and how we process syntax and information, but I'm not sure. Also maybe it has to do with the amount of (unnamed) context you have to keep in your head at one time.
The kind of person who thinks this way used to be quite prevalent on HN but they've slowly disappeared. Unclear if they've simply aged out if reading HN and younger folks don't understand this mentality or if somehow HN is not preferring this mindset in general now. It's definitely missed though.
Well, that's because you haven't made any submissions. The search only searches for stories (i.e. submissions) by default. Change the pulldown menu field that reads "stories" to read "comments" and it finds all of your comments.
When I am running and my hand is sweaty, it was impossible to unlock my old phone with fingerprint reader. Face ID works great in that case. I would say the fingerprint reader was the worst thing about my old phone. Granted I don't know how much better recent iPhone readers are in comparison but I expect they still have issues with wet or dirty hands.
I was thinking the same thing when I typed that:)
It also seems to be pretty normal in these cases for the media to report on it as if it's not normal. And worse, to sometimes use language like "can't", implying an unsolvable problem.

In this particular case it appears that two of the elevators are working, and the rest have hit snags due to mismeasurements that can be fixed with some re-welding. Behind schedule, but the tech appears to be fundamentally viable.
The point is that the populist alarmism over China is the same as 1984 sheeple being told who to hate by BB.

The US has a few dozen military bases outside US territory but somehow China making moves to expand its influence over its economic sphere is a matter of grave concern. So much of the anti-China rhetoric is the same as the anti-Japan rhetoric from 30 years ago. It's mostly veiled racism and a search for an enemy to hate to solidify the domestic group identity.
Even HTTPS was costly in terms of resources back then, thankfully hardware acceleration and better algorithms came and there are no valid reasons anymore not to encrypt communications now.
I haven't dug deeply, but there seems to be a whole ecosystem. An open source avatar data format[0], full body motion capture software[1], this stuff integrates with standard 3d software environments such as unity/unreal/blender/maya/max. So does commercial software[2]. For the hardware it can be a simple web/phone camera on the low end (giving you a talking head) over camera + VR trackers + an iphone for the face sensor to high end rigs with multiple cameras and mocap suits.

That's one advisory committee per 327,000 people in one of the most (technologically) advanced nations on the planet. You could more plausibly argue that we need more advisory committees, but really, the number is not the issue.
the Apple Watch has largely been an iPhone accessory rather than a standalone product

The Apple Watch does not need an iPhone to function.

You could also point to AirPods. They sold a lot of them because a lot of people had iPhones

AirPods work with any Bluetooth device, not just iPhones.
I could support something like this if, instead of banning it, simply made these practices opt-in. Autoplay is great if you want it. It sucks if you don't. And Netflix makes it so dang hard to disable (you have to use a web browser and find an obscure preference). So instead of autoplay, it should require interaction the first time, with an option to autoplay for the rest of the session. Similarly for infinite scrolling, how about we don't infinitely scroll the first time, but have a footer you can click to load more, with an option to infinitely scroll for the rest of the session.

> The Marines fundamentally, organizationally, and tactically approach warfare different than the Army. The Army would have been incapable of fighting WWII in the Pacific. It's just not what it's designed to do.

But is that still true?
With a couple of educated guesses about how FP works coupled with the FAQ content I'm able to imagine what it looks like, but I think a link to an example project (or even inline if the length makes sense) would go a long way. The key here IMO is something which allows you to passively learn what you'll be required to do to get this to work. My experience is that requiring users to perform an action such as signing up to learn this information will discourage users.

Well, Apple provides guidance to investors, so it's not like they are starting from scratch. The rest is public markets doing exactly what they are supposed to do.
I've since also found a comment on an interesting blog post in which one of the original designers is quoted in saying that virtual memory was not a consideration for the 68000 initially: http://www.dadhacker.com/blog/?p=1383

Though qualified with "until the design was almost complete", making the answer to my question (as often) much more fuzzier than I thought.

And another commenter speculates it was Apollo with the two-68k implementation, but without sources and the commenter is unsure of it themselves.

In any case, very interesting stuff.

EDIT: Someone else claims it was Masscomp: http://www.dadhacker.com/blog/?p=1383#comment-3582

>Given that the maths is "out of the bag", any motivated criminal organisation or group that is intent on not being caught can quite easily encrypt their own communications. The only people who won't are the innocent public, who can be spied on with impunity.

It's always the innocent public who is the target of such moves. The goal is state omniscience, not crime fighting.

Competent criminal organisations wouldn't care about laws banning encryption, and would know to use the proper tools.

The random non-competent criminals caught this way, would be used to justify the measure...
I wasn't clear with what I meant, sorry. I was referring to how face unlock can be compelled but passwords cannot, though I realize now this is actually 5th amendment.

I think that a great many of the world's problems could be ameliorated if teachers felt comfortable saying "I don't know, but we can find out after class".
It probably comes from the fact that “Men’s rights activists” are somewhat extreme considering men have dominated every aspect of society (e.g. politics, religion, sports, etc.).

The idea of “Men’s rights” seems redundant to most people in my estimation.
That's like asking why do people watch porn when they won't "meet" the pornstar.
