>Fahd allegedly recruited AT&T “insiders” to install malware programs that gathered confidential information and submitted unlock requests using employee credentials via a remote server.

Sounds like the malware was stealing creds to be used to unlock the phones.
I read through, and I didn't find a reason that the resolution is 640x64@660 other than that is what was input into the raspiraw program.

Cooperatives are for profit companies. I'm unsure why you think they're not or why they did not fall under my definition of 'for profit' company.

That being said. Cooperatives do have executive classes and they do soak up value from labor

Also traditional for profit companies would theoretically allow local stakeholders to reap profits but I do agree that due to unjust sec rules about accredited investors designed to protect the rich, this can not happen
It's also probably partially attributable to the fact that it's their own life on the line if they skip a checklist step like lowering landing gear.

That in combination with training. It's just the cultural thing to do, everyone uses checklists, a pilot from the moment they start training is always doing check lists.

It also helps that a checklist for a plane is always relevant where a checklist for a procedure is more variable.
It hasn't tripled; we've gone from about 280 ppm to about 420 ppm. That graph's y-axis doesn't start at zero.

(That isn't to say that 420 ppm isn't really bad.)
To your point I was speaking of the average American and not necessarily the poster themselves. Their plan worked just as well as not having insurance because they didn't need to draw on it.
The presence of large oligarchical financial institutions makes me feel a little panic, so I make a point to check out “challenger” banks like, Zero[1], Chime[2], and N26[3].

(I’d reccommend Zero here because it, I think, is the only one supporting a credit card).

This is a really, really mediocre card as far as rewards go. No sign up bonus (nearly unheard of these days), might average 1.2% cash back if you use Apple Pay a lot (with exception of maybe a business buying a lot of Apple products - in which case should be spending on a business card). There are a few no-fee cards I can think of that give at least 2% on all purchases - most notably Citi's Double Cash Back card.

The only reason why I could see someone wanting this card is the novelty.
And your phone with two factor authentication right?

Apple likely already has a relationship with the customer, so the riskiest accounts would be those that are brand new. But for even those, Apple would have significantly more information about the applicant than would be in a normal application (like the GPS coordinates of the phone).
Breaking: Market predicated almost entirely upon rent-seeking behavior is upended by digital content.

This seems to be happening more than a decade after it should have.
Wikipedia says: "By the 1954 census, she was still registered in the same apartment, together with her son-in-law, retired Colonel Billot, Yvonne's widower; the census documents list Jeanne as "mother" in 1954 and "widow" in 1962. Frédéric Billot lived next door with his wife Renée."

Doesn't make it sound quite as weird as you make it out to be.

That is extremely weird, and the simplest and most logical explanation is that Yvonne was committing estate tax fraud to avoid a ruinous tax on her inheritance of the family store.

Besides only a handful of pictures exist, with a lot of variations in lighting and exposition. It's possible that it's true, but it's not exactly overwhelming evidence in my opinion.

Yes, but pictures of the two of them are available and the older pictures of Jeanne clearly match the younger pictures of Yvonne. Jeanne would have needed to have had face surgery or some serious facial structural changes to have the face she did in her old age. The simplest explanation, again, is that Jeanne died young(ish) and Yvonne pretended to be her.

And again, this also explains why for decades, despite otherwise being sound of mind and coherent, she kept referring to her husband as her father in casual conversation.
Not a shortcut exactly, but turn on the "zoom" accessibility feature bound to something like CMD. You can then zoom in anywhere on the screen by holding the shortcut and doing a two finger gesture.

As an aside, I found this article the be spectacularly well written:

> A central argument for fossil fuels’ continued dominance is that humanity will surpass 10 billion at some point, and all those people will want something like the Western living standards built over the past 100 years on the back of coal, gas, and oil. Yet what a poverty of imagination this betrays, especially in light of climate change, which hits the poorest hardest. How can that be the pinnacle of civilization? What even constitutes “higher living standards” in a world where the costs of our existing technologies are so transparent? Far from securing hydrocarbon dominance for another 100 years, the needs and aspirations of future generations demand it give way to something more sustainable.
> or they only care about the zip

A couple of weeks ago I was in New York City, and I needed to buy a MetroCard from a vending machine at the entrance of a subway station. I stick my credit card (issued by a major Australian bank) into the machine. I proceed to pay. Then it asks me for my ZIP code. Living in Australia, I don't have a US ZIP code, but I do have a four digit Australian postal code. I try entering my four digit Australian postal code – it doesn't accept it, wrong number of digits. So then I just try 90210. That works, it processes the transaction and gives me the MetroCard.
Episodic recollection is generally thought of as a partial reinstatement of the brain state that had occurred during memory encoding. The dentate of the hippocampal formation is theorized to perform pattern separation of inputd that results in a sparse represntation of that brain state. A memory cue in the environment elicits a partial matching representation which can initiate pattern completion in the heavily recurrent area cornu ammonis 3, which is downstream from the dentate. This pattern completion event back projects signals to the cortex etc to reinstate the encoded mental state, resulting in a sometimes vivid recollection, or reliving of an event. Of course it is all hopelessly more complex than this.
Given that anyone who has reached 117 has already dismissed their ailments with an "this would be the end for most people, but I'm not most people" stubbornness for a few decades, the argument implied by the original paper might be a better explanation for clustering rather than tapering at the high end (i.e. some people knowing that extremely old people live to 117-119 are willing to maintain the fraud of their relative's survival for that long, but are unwilling to risk or unable to succeed in taking it further...)
There's already international politics about water sources. For example, the Tigris and Euphrates are very important to multiple countries, starting with Turkey and flowing downstream.

In the US, you could imagine pipelines bringing water from the East Coast westwards. That could transform water economics in much of the nation, maybe even save an aquifer or two.
It is. It really is. I remember when I first moved to the US (from NZ) and it was like going back in time 10 years in banking.

There's also some completely bananas things that they've only just started to kind of rectify: For automatic payments or to send money to someone online you provide your bank acc# to the recipient and then they tell the bank to give them money from your account.

That's literally how it works - if someone gives you their bank acc# you can't send them money, but 50/50 you can withdraw money from their account.

It gets better. Here's how the "security" works, say you're using ETrade or whatever and you want to link an external account, you give them a bank account number. Then they withdraw some money from that account and ask you to verify how much was withdrawn. Note that it's not the bank that controls the other account verifying you're meant to be able to withdraw money - they're not involved. It's literally etrade (or whoever) ensuring that you own the other account before etrade lets you pull money out.

Think about how insane that is.

> a political-willpower problem

right. and, though it may be simple, it's non-trivial. politics and moneyed interests will be the next battle to fight after M4A becomes law under president Warren and Democratic majorities in House and Senate.

and i will venture to guess that the very next day a strange and unexpected coalition of stakeholders will join forces to create exceptions to that new single payer system. the political alliances will probably be fascinating. we might even see a division so stark that one of the two political parties emerges as a shill for hospitals and doctors, while the other party becomes their enemy.
I think the big difference is that with airlines, it is realistic to have a zero-tolerance approach to deaths, since the default expectation is that a plane will not crash. With hospitals, deaths are innevitable, so you can't just have a uniform set of regulations to ensure no one dies.

Also, I think you can definitely pay more to go on a safer plane - I would imagine more expensive airlines have newer planes and better maintenance - but the risk of death is so small it isn't worth the extra cost.
It isn't world-changing in the US either, but a lot of people think it is because they aren't familiar with the vast credit card offerings in the US.

Credit card debt is definitely a thing in the US and it's nice that the Apple Card has some visualizations, but they also aren't unique to this card.

- Spending analysis tools: Most large US banks have this on their app or website.

- Cash back: a rather standard feature, and Apple's own rate isn't any better than other alternatives (Citi Double Cash for example). Quite a lot worse if you don't see yourself making most purchases with Apple Pay. Most online purchases will get the paltry 1% rate.

- You can actually get a better discount from Apple.com using other cards, believe it or not. Take the Chase Freedom Unlimited's 1.5% off everything, then add the 2 bonus points using the shopping browser cookie feature on the rewards website, so as long as you buy stuff online you're getting 3.5% off the Apple Store instead of 3%.

- Payment due dates always at the end of the month: Doesn't actually make any sort of a difference, usually due dates only change by a day or two at most.

- Due Date reminders: Email already accomplished this

- Real time fraud protection: Major US Bank cards already do this, usually via SMS or email

- Mapped transactions: I'm pretty sure some other banks do this but I will say it's somewhat helpful/innovative

- The fact that the Apple Card has no numbers or magnetic strip on it is something I consider a disadvantage. Yes, the USA is far behind on going 100% chip and contactless. However, US customers aren't liable for any fraud over $50 and most card issuers make that dollar amount zero.

Edit: I'm noticing that the Apple Card does allow a semi-permanent number to be generated, which does require you to have your phone around to look at it, it seems.

I don't care if someone steals my credit card number. That's not my problem. It's my bank's problem.

Not being able to use a credit card at a particular merchant because their point of sale system only has a card swiper is a problem to me. (Edit: Seems that Apple card has a magnetic strip. But if a merchant has to type in more info than the last 4 digits into their POS system you can't use an Apple Card).

I will say, in the US, the support for chip cards is now at nearly 100% and this year contactless has made major strides.
> When your contract is up they will unlock the phone for you.

Not necessarily automatically.

Maybe you are referring to the FCC ruling on Verizon's request?

(I have not been following this too closely but here is what I've read)

My understanding is Verizon will (in the future) fight this ruling as well.

> "After the expiration of the 60-day period, Verizon must automatically unlock the handsets at issue here regardless of whether: (1) the customer asks for the handset to be unlocked, or (2) the handset is fully paid off. Thus, at the end of the initial 60 days, the unlocking rule will operate just as it does now, and Verizon’s customers will be able to use their unlocked handsets on other technologically compatible networks. The only exception to the rule will be that Verizon will not have to automatically unlock handsets that it determines within the 60-day period to have been purchased through fraud."

https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/06/25/fcc-says-verizon-ca...

Remember, Verizon will LOCK phones that you paid for in full "to protect you".
Considering that you can't opt out of a Yelp listing, I think they've crossed a line here. They're basically putting up misleading directory pages for real businesses that intentionally have wrong information.

So it might be that.
Apple didn't invent any of those. They took existing technology and gave it a lot of polish.

FaceId: Facial recognition and the ability to unlock your phone with just your face existed on Android before iPhone.

App store that actually works for customers not against them: I've never had problems with Google's Store, or Steam, or any other digital store.

Privacy respecting web browser: Uh...Firefox?

iPhone/iPad/iPod: Apple did not invent the slate form-factor every phone uses today, and they certainly didn't invent the idea of a tablet computer.

Simply put, Apple isn't a tech company. They're a fashion company that makes technology fashionable. They're kings of UX and marketing, for sure, but innovators? Definitely not.

This is "mobile-first" mentality in a malignant retroactive form, where it is taking away functionality and behavior that is already established in the desktop environment to better match user expectations set in the mobile space.

Mobile browsers often elide the protocol and trivial hostnames from domains in order to economize on precious screen space of phones. Desktop browsers do not face the same constraints. A desktop browser can play to the strengths of desktop computing—taking a "desktop-first" point of view—and display the full URL with the abundant space available. See Firefox's display of the full URL with a highlighted color for the domain. Alternatively, they can be made subservient to mobile and adopt conventions established from constraints that do not exist in the desktop space.

Mobile-first is frequently damaging to new desktop software projects, but in my experience it's atypical for mobile limitations to be back-ported to established desktop software.

answered my own question

If you need to pay for purchases that can't be made with Apple Pay, you can use the physical version of the Apple Card that Apple sends once you sign up. In addition to Goldman Sachs, Apple is partnering with Mastercard, so the physical Apple Card can be used wherever Mastercard is accepted.
Every locale has its own indigenous yeast variants. Unless you go to ridiculous lengths to isolate your starter from the environment (which some people do, including sterilizing the flour used to feed the starter), it's going to eventually be taken over by local yeast.

I'm not sure I see what makes this card magically different from other cards?

I would be more impressed if they just said "we have a [expletive] tonne of money, lets charge like half the interest rate of other credit cards, after all we'll still make a tonne of money, especially when everyone switches to a vastly cheaper card"
