I've been wondering if Apple might get in to the dedicated GPU game. First replacing the integrated Intel gpu in the lower end machines with their mobile gpu chip designs, then maybe tackling a scaled up version?

They used to use PowerVR GPUs in the iPhone line, but I think (?) they're designed in-house now. They have their own Metal graphics API already. And they're on a 7nm process from TSMC.
Right to be Forgotten has nothing to do with data privacy
I'd really like to use this on my computer. The article says it uses the WireGuard protocol, can I just take the private key from my device, put it in a configuration file and use it?
I agree with your post that "victims are at a disadvantage", but you say that:

> there is rarely any evidence

while also saying that:

> Most accusations are real

This feels like a contradiction. We can only know whether an accusation is real or not when there is enough evidence. I think that doing extrapolation exercises based on no evidence is a bad idea.

The Apple watch can look at blood oxygen levels too which might have been what triggered the alert.
I don't have access to the full article, but my only real question is - HOW? I don't know how you'd mistake a mouthful of wasabi for anything, except maybe trying to swallow a flamethrower. I can't imagine getting through the first mouthful and then moving on to the "eating a large amount" stage.
One genius move back then was that you could increment the volume over 100%
You're technically right, but I don't think I've ever seen GDP quoted as something other than per year, so there's no real ambiguity. The bigger problem is comparing GDP (a flow) to quantities that are stocks (total debt, market cap of X, etc.)
It's not worth much, but you have my respect. I'm not sure I could've made that choice.

>The anti-Houthi militias are more clearly Saudi and Emirati proxies than American ones

They're still being supported by the US military, with billions in arm sales, tactical support, and a heavy involvement in the ongoing blockade. While the Houthi forces can claim rather minor support from Iran.
HN doesn't have answers because individually most of us have particularly massive carbon footprints that we're busy ignoring. Every computer, monitor, phone and peripheral carried a huge environmental cost to extract the resources and manufacture the goods. If you have a few laptops and desktops and some old phones and a wall of records your carbon footprint is a crater.

In the last 6 years a lot of Apple users weren't inspired by the newer laptops and just clung to their old hardware for an unprecedented amount of time. This is how we can help but it's just not what we want!

If managers come to developers with problems that are NP complete, no matter how well they transfer the idea/vision, or set time expectations, the problem cannot be solved efficiently. And, unless the developers have been trained in CS/Math they may not even understand that what they are being asked to do cannot be done.

For example, say a manager has an idea to find the largest group of friends in a massive social network. He wants a developer to write an app for that and has a 20K budget and 2 months. You could not write this app with 10 times that budget or time.

How can you determine which group of friends is the largest?

I should have the right to remove embarrassing things I've done 20 years ago when I was a teenager from a public indexer, the same way I can request the phone book to delist my phone number: this does not mean that the phone company has to delete my number, it just cannot be indexed.

A stupid example? just put a "like" on Medium next to an article regarding something that embarrasses you and few days later that article will appear on Google when looking for your name, and then you would love to have the GDPR at your disposal to permanently delete your Medium account.
Obviously we now need an estimate for how long it will take to make an estimate.

I liked the interview. Particularly the parts about maintainability / modularity, and hiring developers. Are any parts of that inaccurate, or do you (still) stand behind them? Are there any interviews / documents where you elaborate on those topics?

The law just seems to target the problem much too late in the chain of events.

For example, in Germany, people have a right to anonymity, that forbids newspapers to identify persons (print full names, photos, addresses) unless making them public would be in the public interest. While this isn't perfect and of course open to interpretation, it seems to me that having privacy protections (and due process where they fail) is much better lawmaking than trying the fix things down the road when the privacy is already breached. Especially if the fixes are this ham-fisted.

Sounds eerily similar to the early days of Ryanair[1] which was a poorly managed basket case in an industry ripe for innovation of its time - managers caring about their looks more than their books, cost overruns and non ownership of key bases... It sounds like Thomas Cook didn't have their Michael O'Leary to swoop in and fix their problems.

Even Ryanair didn't value their website or online offerings at first but they valued something which TC obviously missed time and time again - their bottom line.

The tech in iPhones is so ludicrously ahead of anything else, it's not even funny anymore.

Their CPUs are 3 years ahead at least.

They have proprietary low power, high reliability Flash memory tech.

They have unique 3D scanning face identification tech and secure ID data storage.

They have far superior battery life for the battery weight.

The camera systems are best in class, I would agree several other phones have camera tech and software that is close enough for most people, but not for everyone.

They have Samsung made screens that even Samsung can't use, some of the tech and QA process is proprietary to Apple.

Also the sensor precision and calibration is considerably better on iPhones than Android phones and highly consistent across models. There's a photo of a bunch of phones showing their magnetometers, with all the iPhones pointing in the same direction, and the Android phones pointing all over the place.

"I don't see [DOM Clobbering] as a valid security concern in this case"

It is for sure a valid security concern when doing client-side XSS filtering, which is what the presentation is about. And no, DOM Clobbering does not require an attacker to "have access to the page in your user's security context". Fastmail have an introduction here: https://fastmail.blog/2015/12/20/sanitising-html-the-dom-clo.... Simply put, there's no way to do safe client-side XSS filtering without addressing DOM Clobbering as a valid security concern.

"hardening the DOM won't provide the necessary solution."

And the author is not suggesting or waiting for that. On the contrary, the premise is that XSS sanitizers need to be client-side exactly because the DOM is not hardened and has so many different implementations (even across browser versions). It's counter-intuitive I know, but server-side XSS sanitizers really can't address cross-browser parser differences safely. So again, it's not a question of "stylistic concerns" or "code management" but of doing secure XSS filtering wherever it is best done.

"There are better ways to solve for this."

And if you go on to the next slide, 28, the point is that despite the difficulties, this has been solved in DOMPurify, which should be added to the DOM so that developers can finally have a first-class client-side XSS sanitizer, without having to trust DOMPurify as third-party code.

There are not many people who know more about client-side XSS filtering than Mario Heiderich. And I know of no better client-side solution than DOMPurify.

To Invent a Quantum Internet
Penelope Leach's book seems sensible to me.

One minor warning: baby-proofing products are not created equal. We got some plastic inserts for the electrical plugs, and were horrified to see our son crawl up to one, remove it, stick it in his mouth and then try to replace it. I wish I remembered the names of the two brands, the one whose inserts could be removed by an eight-month-old, and the one whose inserts couldn't. But check the stuff they sell you.
Underage drinking in and of itself may be victimless in some sense, but schools want students to be responsible, and from a liability point of view they can't simply ignore it when they see it happening. But neither do they want to refer all such cases to law enforcement. So therein lies the desire for education programs and addiction counseling when it is indicated.

Sexual assault is much more complicated. If the accuser doesn't want to report it to law enforcement and press charges, the maximum penalty the school can inflict is expulsion. Historically this has been a problem in a variety of ways. First, schools have sometimes been accused of discouraging the accuser from going to the police. That problem has resulted in dedicated sexual assault response plans to avoid that sort of thing and work with the accuser to connect them to appropriate resources, counseling, etc. Beyond that, the school is in a bind: prior to either legal action or a school-based disciplinary hearing for violation of the code of conduct, it is punitive to inflict punishment like suspension or force schedule changes to avoid the accused coming into contact with their alleged victim. At the same time, if there was an assault, it can very much exacerbate the harm to the victim to keep things as they are. I don't know of a good solution to this. It often results in the accuser being the one that has to change their schedule or drop out to avoid coming into contact with their alleged attacker.

Again, I don't have an answer that both completely protects a victim from further trauma at the same time that it provides the accused with protection from penalty until they are found guilty. Personally, I think it helps the situation when the accuser is willing to go to the police because that opens up other options like a restraining order that can both protect the victim but also provides judicial review before the accused's rights and privileges are abridged. That is still far from ideal in many cases though. No easy answers here.

I don't follow. Nim uses C as an intermediate representation, just like many languages use LLVM-IR, Gimple, javascript, etc.

If you care about the assembly a piece of code generates, you can just look at that.

The generated C code that Nim emits looks like what it is: boring automatically-generated C code.

If you wanted to debug the compiler, you could take a look at that, but most users don't have to.

Lots of tape drives offer built-in compression. The drive firmware does it. On AIT3 drives you can enable or disable it.

Compression may have been a big deal in the ages of sub-1Ghz single core systems but not anymore. Especially since you ought to be encrypting before writing anyway.

Why does it continue? Probably so they can double the capacity that they put on the tape label, which is always the compressed capacity and not the native or real capacity. Plus backward compatible with such encoded tapes.
It's not phrased very well in the article, but I think what the author is referring to is that Leave Me Alone assigns a score to each sender and as a feature of that you can see how many other users unsubscribed from it.

For example when looking at a subscription it might say "60% of other users unsubscribed from this mailing list".

You can actually see specifically what other people have unsubscribed from.

I'm not sure who your audience is. If I'm shipping software under a commercial license of some kind (like your license), I want my attorney to vet the license for my jurisdiction(s) before I use it. My attorney would likely not choose this license (because it's not written by an attorney, and does not have features attorneys would expect to see in a software license).

If I'm selling software, I would generally expect it to be licensed under a bespoke license. This doesn't fit that need.

Google is an indexer, therefore it searches for information on the internet that correlates or is @tonyjstark. If you ask your government for a 'Rights to be Forgotten', they will request for everyone in their jurisdiction to remove you from it. Google EU and others then have to remove the indexed information associated with you. However, Google US, Bing Colombia, etc are not in your jurisdiction, so it can still index the information associated with you. Also, if the website that is being indexed is not within EU jurisdiction or has been copied elsewhere, then it also falls outside of EU jurisdiction.

If legislation like these ones could encompass the whole world, certain powerful countries, corporations, individuals, etc would use it to ensure that only what was beneficial to them would be indexed, searchable and available.
