Track record for Apple when it comes to iOS/iPadOS updates has been impressive, but once they stop updating their device it becomes more vulnerable than their android counterpart for basic Internet browsing just because Apple doesn't update Safari via AppStore and doesn't allow any other browser engine.

Case in point : Google Project Zero's latest iOS Exploit chains on webkit shows how easy it was(*is?) for an iOS user to fall victim to browser vulnerabilities by just visiting a website.[1]

The exploits covered targeted only 64-bit, so technically devices < iPhone5S which were not part of the update cycle wasn't mentioned in the GPZ research. But many of the exploit chains did use public jailbreak exploits and Semi-unthethered jailbreaks exist for 32-bit iOS devices running up to iOS 10.3.3.

I don't know whether complete exploit chain as detailed in the project zero wasn't possible for 32-bit devices or the attackers just didn't care about those devices. It is safe to assume, they are vulnerable.

Where as a 7 year old android device can still download Firefox for Android with latest security updates.

In any case, I don't think there can be any opposing arguments on the side of security for Apple not updating Safari via AppStore or now allowing proper 3rd party browsers.

I don't get where people found this expectation to be paid for random crap thrown out into the world. Once upon a time a lot of the things that are ad-supported now would be considered hobbies that people did because they like to do them, there wouldn't be any sort of expectation of recouping losses you were putting money into your activity in exchange for the joy of doing it. Now everything has become much more money focused and rather than sending out a podcast episode to start a discussion or voice your opinion people are doing it to get paid.

This is why I love Patreon, it has the possibility to shift us back into the "for the joy of it" production - removing the need to shill on a month-by-month basis. If enough people support you directly then advertising loses it's appeal by spurning potential listeners. Meanwhile your hobby is getting support from the other hobbyists and people with a slight interest can dip their toes in and explore the world.
What does this prevent it from doing? Would it be useful at a Calc 1-2 level?
You've got to wonder what kind of a person is it that can get so far in building a successful behemoth like this but at the same time is able to seriously put forward ideas like becoming President of the world or asking management to cut 20% of the workforce yearly
The poll you cite indicates a 4 to 6% support for cancelling Brexit. It seems... unlikely... that 90% of Remain voters have now switched over to Leave.

I think you've accidentally linked to a poll of just Conservative party members or something along those lines. Here's the corresponding poll of Labour members: https://whatukthinks.org/eu/questions/is-the-labour-partys-v...

and Lib Dems: https://whatukthinks.org/eu/questions/is-the-liberal-democra...

A better set of polls appears to be here, with 77 polls instead of two, and across the entire populace instead of individual parties. Remain's beating Leave at the moment (and has been consistently). Since you're interested in the Will of the People, here you go:

Developers Raise Alarm Over Their Cut of Google Play Pass' Subscription Money
A lot of discovery on desktop computers was by hovering over stuff for tooltips or poking around in menus. Touch devices don't have that, so you get the basic functionality exposed, but other stuff isn't as discoverable.

I don't think this is as much of a problem as people make it out to be. They've managed to keep the iPad just as accessible to everyone, and they prod you occasionally with notifications from the Tips app for people who are willing to learn more.

As far as moving a URL from a Safari tab to Gmail, why not just copy and paste it? Tap once on the URL bar, the keyboard pops up with all the text selected, and there's a copy button right there. Or you can tap on the selected text to bring up the cut/copy/paste buttons.

Pressing and holding the URL to initiate a drag and then dropping in a text field also works for me, but I didn't test in Gmail. It's possible Google has some custom behavior that breaks this.
It seems to treat "direct" columns different than JSON-ized columns. That bifurcation creates two ways of doing things. Ideally, it should be seamless.

> ...it’s terrible for SoftBank! The message from SoftBank is pretty much “your [Neumann's] job was to extract billions of dollars out of us, and you succeeded at it admirably; now that you’ve served that purpose, we should replace you with a real-estate CEO to salvage the value of your investment and ours.”

Preface: I'm moderately technical but don't understand the specific nuances of DNS.

Is there any possibility Pi-Hole and the DNS server plus hosts file could be used in an attack? Could I setup a web server with identical UI to my target site, get one of the list providers to direct chase.com to my IP, list gets propagated to all Pi-Hole devices, and start collecting credentials?

> However, it means the real effect of the RtBF law is that it impedes less technically proficient internet users to search other person's data, but absolutely doesn't achieve stated goals (as nothing is forgotten, and entities which do personal data checks will for sure be able to use non-EU IPs to get unrestricted results). What it essentially does is limitation of low-skilled users search results. And that's all.

The goal of "right to be forgotten" in this context is precisely to make the information less ubiquitous, not to delete it altogether. E.g. it does not apply to newspapers etc.

I feel for you. I have been there as well. I knew it was time to quit when I found out exactly why the idea wouldn’t work after taking to multiple people in the industry and seeing it in real life.

So, my question to you is, do you still think you idea will work? If so, take a break and come back to it in a few weeks and continue to try. You need more feedback form people that will give it to your straight.

You already have a product so actively find the reason why just having a better product won’t work. If you need someone to talk to, I can give you more insight.
They were always a real estate company, they just didn't get to IPO under the SV hype because as it got closer people looked closer at the company and realized the valuation was ridiculous and the CEO was lining his own pockets acting as landlord to his own company. Now that that's happened and it's all come out he has to step down.
It's easy create a "tax" that goes to the devs for every resell. Actually that would be better than the old physical games reselling.

If forced Steam will surely put a "tax" for themselves, so why not add the devs.

There are definitely a lot of variables to consider. Method of consumption - I prefer not to smoke things, so I would use edibles.

Strain, strength, psychosoma, as you mention. Psychosoma can be affected by location, time of day (light out or dark out), the company you are in, legality, or potential work-related ramifications, etc.

I _do not recommend_ this at all, but if you want to have an anxious episode, consuming a 10MG THC edible on an empty stomach, while alone, will likely do it. You may find yourself repeatedly Googling "Am I going to die?!", and then forgetting the answer 10 seconds later, for about 90 minutes.

That said, there have been times where I've enjoyed it. Being in a familiar environment, with people I trust, having eaten food, and maybe a drink or two, tends to nullify the anxiety and allow for a relaxing experience. I find similar benefits from meditation though, so I have little reason to use THC these days.
iOS 12 does side by side web pages.
The type of database and data model is critical. People trying to make one act like another has led to countless problems.

Everything you said about algorithms and query complexity is part of that foundation, not a replacement for it.
You could write a one-paragraph description in five minutes. You're one person. You've got maybe 1000 readers, and you're asking them to each spend 38 minutes on faith that your recommendation is good, with no other information given - just a link.

Asking you (not you, nothanksmydude, but jakeogh, who posted the no-info-given link) to spend five minutes, rather than asking us to spend 38 x 1000 minutes... that seems like a pretty reasonable request.
> you should never do this unless the app is unresponsive

In theory, yes, but not in practice. For example, the chromecast icon sometimes disappears in Hulu, which requires killing the app and reopening to get it back. The stock Mail app used to get stuck in fetching mail and refused to refresh, again requiring you to kill the app. Facebook Messenger's text input sometimes disappears entirely, requiring you to kill the app. Some apps get badges stuck, requiring you to kill the app. The list of bugs in apps that are only remedied by killing the app goes on and on.

The iOS 12 issue was just an example of Apple being overzealous and believing there's no reason to kill an app, when even their own apps had issues that were only remedied by force quitting the apps. The uproar was well deserved.
I guess that's why they have a developer preview :)

Seems like the system is working as intended.
I'm not sure how complicated GST software impacted someone's ability to feed and clothe ourselves.

Most of the key laws in India do impact many people in India because it's a country with a huge population. Nowadays there is the talk of banning single-use-plastic in the country. Companies are likely to lose business and some people will be severely impacted. Does that mean we should continue to use that kind of plastic(which harms the environment)?
Good, good. Let it burn to the ground.
I'm by all means no Apple fanboy (almost all my devices are Android-based, work laptop is a MBP) but this sure is impressive.

All of the presented features seem to be thought through and made to increase my productivity. Back in the day, I was one of the first people to own the original iPad in my country (small, central European country) and I regretted that decision almost immediately since it was just a bigger phone that I could use on the couch, albeit one that couldn't even do phone calls. I finally get the feeling that tablets get to be real devices.
What happens when you Command-tab into your terminal emulator directly?

I agree that split-screen input/output priority is wonky -- for example, if you have a video player app and Safari side-by-side and an external display connected, the video player app will only output to the display if it's the app on the left.

This is some dense shit. I can't imagine how working for WeWork feels like, right now.

I have worked for companies where all the employees were eagerly waiting for the day the company will go public. It was seen as a pivotal moment both financially and professionally.

In any rational world that's a landmark moment. A significant milestone for founders, investors and early employees.
For WeWork it has been the complete opposite. They filed to go public and everything is going south since then. Must be surreal that what seemed to be the start of a bright future may be very well the start of a dark end.
Well, not really. It's about how you store the data. For instance all graph data can be stored as hexastore [0] which can be stored literally in any database and you will get similar-ish performance out of them.

Some databases are optimized for certain workflows, so for instance they will store only "pointers" to certain data rather than copying them. In addition their clients obfuscate and abstract the storage layer from user.

But you can really store any data in any database, you just might have to do some extra pre/post-processing and multiple the storage requirements.

Well to be fair, there's some effort in setting up the RasPi to begin with - flashing a memory card and installing the linux os flavor (which one?), etc. There's a lot of steps.

I'm a total newbie and figured it out, but didn't find it "effortless". Lots of instructions to follow.
I'd tell him that he has two options:

- Find an amicable agreement to buy you out in the short term

or

- You'll back up all of your documentation around incorporation and wait until the app gets larger, hire a lawyer and go after 40% of the significantly higher value. You have a solid claim, and this would be much more painful for him. He has a fiduciary duty to protect the value of your share, if he takes action to attempt to devalue your portion he could be personally liable to make you whole for more than 40%. Especially egregious action could rise to the level of criminality.

Either way, probably worth consulting with a lawyer now.
Ehh I sorta disagree. Many older windows machines "could" run windows 10 today, but your experience would be miserable for casual desktop use unless you have at least 2GB, etc.

So a windows xp machine "could" run windows 10 but you don't really want to. In apple's case you can't downgrade your OS version, and I've seen an iPad 2 go from "smooth and fluent" to "crashes before I can even unlock it" from OS updates.
GraphQL is a really important use case for Prisma. That is using Prisma as the "data layer" on top of your database when implementing a GraphQL server (e.g. using Apollo Server). However, it's not the only use case since you can effectively use it with any application that needs to access a database (e.g. REST or gRPC APIs). We actually wrote a blog post exactly on this topic: https://www.prisma.io/blog/prisma-and-graphql-mfl5y2r7t49c/

You can also find examples for the various use cases here: https://github.com/prisma/prisma-examples/tree/prisma2

Please let me know if that clarifies it or if you have more questions! :)
What pressure is this with the crazy different classes of stocks?
That's my problem with "Microsoft [heart] Linux" - there was never any apology. They attacked linux and open source for years and now suddenly they want to be best friends.

I need to see some real contrition and proof that they understand all the things they did were wrong so I can be convinced they won't repeat the same behavior. Otherwise it just sounds like an abusive partner begging you to take them back.
I'm so glad I read hacker news. I almost took a job at WeWork just 2 months ago with a recruiter working very hard to convince me I'd be rich when they IPO. Now I'm at a much smaller startup called Weave which is a really phenomenal place to work. I didn't discover until recently that it's also a YCombinator company.

edit: to clarify, hacker news has been extremely skeptical of WeWork for some time, due to this, I was extremely wary of their offer and leaned towards (and eventually chose) other options.
Developers Judge Your App Based on Your API, SDK and Docs. Treat Them Equally
I've had the iOS 13 beta for several months and am using the mouse support to teach our four year old basic mouse usage. It is a nice compromise, because an iPad is a simpler device for her to navigate and understand than a PC (and has much better parental controls) but this gets her familiar with a PC's peripherals for when we do introduce her to a PC later.

The Logitech M535 worked without hassle, and fit her hand well. We combined it with a OMOTON Ultra-Slim keyboard for a full "PC peripherals-like experience."

I still feel like mouse support is half baked. Almost like Apple hobbled it on purpose to make sure you KNEW it wasn't the primary way to interact with an iPad. It should be a first class citizen like the keyboard support in my view, with basic settings like auto-hiding the cursor when it isn't connected and cursor configuration (no more giant blob).
I bought a plugin from UVI and had to use iLok for the first time recently and the experience was atrocious.

I'm guessing the "Non-Executive Chairman" position will just be a temporary one until they can come to agreement on how much money they need to pay him to go away.

Professor Galloway called this the other day. His next prediction is that We will sell off all the bullshit vanity projects like WeLive and WeGrow along with the other nonsense Adam bought (like the wave pool company so he can practice surfing at work). Then they will fire all non-core employees. The clock is ticking if they want to save this company.
Good people at Weave, awesome it's working out!
the way you described it, it's like a cult lost its leader
That is exactly it. Some SQL databases (CockroachDB and Postgres come to mind) can have the option of having O(1) JSON lookup. It just has to implement the correct algorithm, and index the data the correct way.

It is not about the database type. It is about the underlying algorithms and data structures.
Yeah, that keeps getting repeated by the anti-Tesla crowd. But they make a great profit on every car, and have consistently keep growing in sales.

Right now they just can't manufacture the cars fast enough for the demand. They'll have to keep building factories which takes a big chunk from their cash.
I wonder if there is some lingering idea inside their own head that what they're doing is nonsense ... so more nonsense seems pretty logical.
There was, but it's more of an accessibility feature -- the cursor is a relatively large circle, simulating a fingertip, rather than a pinpoint cursor.

> Relational databases get their name from the fact that relationships can be defined between tables.

This is a widespread misconception. Relational databases get their name from relations in the mathematical sense[1], i.e. sets of tuples containing facts. The basic idea of the relational model is that logical predicates can be used to query data flexibly without having to change the underlying data structures.

The basic paper by Codd[2] is really worth reading and describes, among other things, the problems of hierarchical and network databases that the relational model is meant to solve.

The even funnier part of the segment is when he gets into what some of the banks actually put out as a reasonable IPO valuation.

>...JPMorgan told WeWork executives the company could be worth between $46bn and $63bn in the listing. Goldman pegged the equity at between $61bn and $96bn. Morgan Stanley estimated WeWork’s valuation at between $43bn and $104bn in a presentation in 2018, though a pitch for the IPO set it at a more modest $18bn-$52bn.

Some reciprocity is warranted when you're getting something for free. The problem isn't advertising itself. Too much will just drive people away. The problem is unnecessarily intrusive advertising.
