I believe these are the different levels they have at their disposal:

- Remotely delete from everyone's devices (Apple has never used this capability, they say the ability is there in the case of malware)

- Remove from the App Store completely (keeps running if you had it installed, you can back it up to iTunes and reinstall from there, can't download from the store. I think they did this with apps that worked their way around AT&T tethering restrictions back in the day when that was a thing)

- Removed from sale (if you installed it before, you can still re-download it from your App Store purchase history)

I don't think certificate revocation is applicable to app store apps - e.g. I can revoke my own dev distribution certificate and it only kills self-hosted Ad Hoc builds. They may have per-developer app store certs only available internally as well but I think they'd use one of the capabilities above instead

I am not arguing that at all, you are arguing that there are plenty of alternatives, implying they are just as good quality wise. They are simply not.

From almost all perspectives they are objectively worse, except for privacy. Features, Security and convenience are all significantly better on Apple, Microsoft and Google products.

This is not a value-statement, I'm not saying one approach is better than the other. This completely depends on what you personally value most, if you care exclusively about your privacy then you will have to sacrifice a lot of in other departments to achieve that, if it's worth that to you go for it.

The point I was arguing though; if you have to make a choice between these large corporations and what you care about most is your privacy, then Apple is probably your best bet.
Why Data Is Not the New Oil
Ironically this is one problem which is incredibly well suited to a market based solution, but the lobby groups which typically advocated for "let the market decide" (e.g. heritage/CATO/Americans for prosperity) took a lot of their money from fossil fuel companies. While "let the market decide" was a workable message when fossil fuels were cheaper than renewables, it no longer works for them so they no longer advocate for it, so it's not an idea that is pushed very hard.
How is China take away America's free speech? Yes, it is taking some money away, so what? You can still say whatever you want anyway. Why do people care about China anyway, China is not your mum. Just say what you want. Yes, you lose a few bucks. Also people shouldn't judge on others when they prefer bucks over a few statements. It is a free country anyway. Not a free-as-long-as-you-agree-with-me.
This is not much of a computational survivalism, if you need to install extra software on target machine.

I mean, you might as well install Python.

Do your task with PowerShell or DOS batch, and then this might cut it as computational survivalism on that box.

And how does that in any way imply that Hong Kong retaining its autonomy would force the Chinese people back to the outhouses?

Or is it just a matter of "we suffered, so they have to suffer"?
That's great. Rich people often give their money away, I'm sure it helps them feel good about themselves.

If these kids are so inclined, more power to them. I hope they pick great causes.

Exactly. People deny basic economics and down vote because of their feelings.
My parents were health nuts and we ate salads every night with dinner. We almost never ate fast food.

Vegetables taste good to me. I like the taste of salad. I can microwave a bunch of frozen veggies and actually enjoy their flavor.

I'm not trying to brag, just saying that vegetables aren't inherently "bad tasting," it's just hyper-processed foods change your palate. Kids can eat healthy.
The best measure I know of this is -- cost of the final product minus cost of imported inputs, or that divided by cost of final product.

Ultimately what matters is things like how much value is created in the local economy (employment), and how independent they are from loss of their source of imports.
Can she not see that very overweight people are literally just not able to get around daily life as easily as physically fit people?

Fat-rights people just take that as evidence of a conspiracy of “thin supremacy”, similar to how some people see “white supremacy” everywhere they look.
FWIW, my comment wasn't a demand to mark this as duplicate. I only included the discussion link for further reference. The thread here had very valuable comments like the one by raphlinus.
What do you mean "without uploading the video somewhere" ?

If you are viewing it while not physically present it must be uploaded somewhere - otherwise it couldn't be on your phone right ?
In the UK, you are free to cross the road wherever you want (except the motorway). In the USA, in many states, you can't. Which still boggles my mind.
To go further, I have a colleague who says there are actually no particles, only waves interacting with other waves. I am trying to get him to make a proper thesis out of this but he is busy trying to earn money to support his family. If there are any theories about this, please link them in the thread! It sort of resonates with what Richard Feynman has been demonstrating in some of his lectures but I have not been able to find the right keywords to search the internet, or the best way to ask scientists.

There is no reason that the binary delivered to your phone by the Google Play Store needs to be the same as the binary delivered to a reporter's phone.

That's moving the goalposts to individual targeting, though. The individual targeting scenario is not that interesting because, as the winged quote from the technical literature goes, "YOU’RE STILL GONNA BE MOSSAD’ED UPON".
Hi Crinus! As you might guess, I've spent a large percentage of my free time over the last year on this.

Early on, I was unemployed and living alone, so I was putting 8+ hours a day into it, every day of the week. Progress was very swift.

Over time I've scaled it down as I've moved to a new place, rejoined civilization and started a job. Nowadays I'd say I'm doing 3-4 hours on weekdays and 6-8 on weekends.

I regularly record screencasts of my work and post it to YouTube. I find that it works amazingly well for staying focused and serious, sometimes I end up solving something I would like to give up on, simply because I don't want to abandon a video I've started recording :)
Ackk!
I suspect we have even worse matters than the 1% - they are often contagious as you see their actions and rationalizations adopted by not technically sociopaths and narcissists because they are rewarded for it. And just like other conditioned for behavior done independently of when it would actually help them.
> If punishment has no measurable, positive effect - why do it?

But it does, the positive effect is in the mind state of the punisher, or the Type-1 people being discussed here.

Now you're right of course, the punishment does not improve the situation, but it sure gives these folks that little squirt of feel-good chemicals and that's what really matters to them.
Will we? Boomers were the generation of love and social change, but they integrated into the system just like everyone else.
That's what I mean about it being incumbent to try to understand. It may not be "logical" but it still happens, so we should try to work out why.

Perhaps there is some evolutionary reason. Perhaps it is, itself, part of the cycle of abuse. Perhaps it's just easier to be nasty than nice.
>> Self driving cars aren't just a solution to nuisance of driving. They're a solution to one of the leading causes of DEATH and INJURY in the country.

If reducing DEATH and INJURY are the motivation for self-driving cars, we can achieve a larger reduction with technology that is available right now: public transport. And there is even a no-technology solution: a drastic reduction of road traffic that passes through residential areas.

Putting more cars on the road might or might not reduce DEATH and INJURY, given that those cars are going to be self-driving. But _removing_ cars from roads will _certainly_ reduce DEATH and INJURY- and also reduce the environmental damage from the cars' internal combustion engines and the infrastructure needed for those cars to circulate.

Considering all of the above, I'm really not convinced that the self-driving car industry is really that interested in reducing DEATH and INJURY. I think their main motive is to increase PROFIT.
People that do care realise that "no one gives a shit" is a frustrated way of saying "too few care enough for it to matter in the larger scheme of things".

> In general, there are no nutrients in meat that don't exist in an equivalent or better form in plants, that's where they come from after all.

There are certain amino acids the body can't make itself, meat and fish contain those in high levels getting them from plants is of course possible but a pure plant only diet without dairy and fish you have to be careful that you are eating the right mix to get all the amino acids.

> I think it's emcumbent on approach 2 to try and understand why people act like approach 1.

For many (most?) people, it's just a matter of values. Punishment of evildoers, justice, revenge, enforcement of the law, are not judged on the merits of preventing future offences, they're desirable in their own right.

These values are widespread and are part of the 'natural' or 'default' repertoire of human social behavior. Different cultures encourage them to different extents, and channel them differently, and of course differ a lot on what is offensive and deserving of punishment and how much. But I don't think it's difficult to understand why people desire these things.

Even if everyone agrees that rehabilitative justice is better for reducing crime, it's a separate moral decision to value reducing crime over other things like justice (fairness) or punishment (negative consequences for infringing on rights).
> My point is, kids aren't cruel in the sense that we use to refer to adults. They, instead, are socially inept, and can't fully grasp the consequence of their actions.

They can be cruel very intentionally fully knowing what is going on well before adolescence. You teach them not to.
Vegetables have less nutrients than meat. They are also in a less bioavailable form, so not as easy absorb. The link to cancer is from association studies which have confounders. A big recent meta analysis of these studies have shown that the reduction in risk for not eating meat is not worth it.

One can live on pure animal product alone and not need any supplements, yet one can't do the reverse. If you eat only plant food you must consume supplements.

There are plenty of nutrients found in meat and not found in plants.

B12 is the big supplement not found in plant foods, and the supplement was invented in 60s. So no true vegans could exist until then. Vegetarians existed, but they ate some animal products.

Plants also have no Vitamin A, only carotenoids which is difficult for our bodies to convert to Vitamin A.

The vitamin D found in plants is inferior to the vitamin D in meat. Most of us don't get enough sun for adequate vitamin D.

Vitamin K2 is also severely lacking in plants.

Heme iron is also only found in animal products. You need heme iron. For most people iron overload is not a worry, you need some genetic disposition to absorb extra iron.

We can't eat grass like a cow, but we can eat that cow.

You've made some claims without an examples. Can you give me an example of nutrients that are found in plants and not in animals?

Also the definition of an "essential nutrient" is a nutrient that we can't synthesise ourselves in our bodies. So no we can't make any essential nutrient because that's the very definition of the phrase.

If the state is going to be inserting itself, I'd rather the state stay away from Harrison Bergeron forcing rich people to be less educated and productive, and focus on taxing excess wealth to redistribute to children and poor adults who want to work.

What if public school is awful, and the only reason it looks decent is that some parents are picking up the slack? What would happen if you cut those parents out of the system?
It works like this in the Matlab console, of which I am a heavy user. I got used to it and always wondered why it wasn't the same in bash/ksh.

I feel like Bill Gates's idea of giving away all your money so children won't die is the only rational and sane thing to do.

I cannot imagine having billions of dollars and being like, "Nah, forget the children. I need three more yachts." I genuinely don't get it.
This isn’t how the IOM’s status came to be, though. Man has been an independent state for longer than the UK has existed. Now, the question is could it realistically exist without the support of the UK? We could ask the same question of San Marino and Italy or Andorra and France/Spain.

IOM as it is today, though, is unusually able to be influenced by its wealthy residents. I once heard a very wealth individual say he moved there not for the tax benefits but because he could have greater influence over the government in such a small nation.
You mean like the size of seats and doors and things? I can understand that point of view.

But I mean things where there is no design being imposed. Like I can stroll down the beach if I want to. An extremely overweight person cannot. Nobody's imposed anything that makes that harder for them except their weight.

They must think to themselves 'it'd be nice to walk down the beach... I wonder why I can't do that without being uncomfortable when these other people can...' and realise that extra weight brings quality-of-life limitations.
It’s a conflict zone like east Ukraine/Crimea. Hundreds (thousands?) died, but it’s a conflict zone. People have different expectations about that. Especially when the protests were peaceful for months and years...

Used to do it on Windows 95/98 at my school with Cain and Abel.

You could save the *.pwl files to a floppy, take them home, and crack them in a few minutes. All you needed was a PC that a teacher had logged into recently.
Likewise if people with unchallenged confidence get to run things, bad things tend to happen and there is a difference in being confident and projecting it to others.

Understanding is often followed by humility.
Is this really the best solution? I feel like this only feeds the "conspiracy" more. In my view, it's always better to let people spread their (false) views, and just make factual information easily available to counter them.

A lot of people who are attracted to such extremism are not in a rational frame of mind anyway - ostracising them in real life only serves to send them deeper into their rabbit hole.

One thing I've seen in reviews of the system being sold in the Auto eTron is that it's much harder to get a good idea of speed and depth on the rear view camera screens. I really wonder whether this can really be overcome. It'll be interesting to see whether this will become as common as touch screens have become.
It's not irony - we've just misunderstood Apple all these years.

If you look closely at the commercial, Apple never actually said which side they're on. Looking at their actions - they're on the side on the ordered regime defending the users from themselves and from a troublemaker running around with a unlicensed and unauthorized hammer she's holding wrong. They'd just would like the regime to be a bit more stylish.

I’ve never heard this happen on US ham bands. I’m sure it has but the FCC takes violations seriously and will track down offenders.
Public schools are literal prisons for children and for most people is the only place they'll experience violence first hand. Middle school is the age in which children's awareness of these facts start to become more clear in their minds, even if they lack the ability to articulate them so clearly.
Ah, like Minority Report
Are you confident that parents spending time with their children like that is not valuable? Especially now in the era of 6hr/day YouTube and fortnite?

It is called Quantum Field Theory.
Instead of just gazing at the sea of terse variable names in awe, try actually reading it! There's only about a dozen variables and they're all documented at the top - the actual code is actually amazingly clear for what it does. There's not a lot of gratuitous cleverness.

For example, just picking a random segment, you don't have to squint very hard to see that this is a number literal parser:

else if (tk >= '0' && tk <= '9') {
if (ival = tk - '0') { while (*p >= '0' && *p <= '9') ival = ival * 10 + *p++ - '0'; }
else if (*p == 'x' || *p == 'X') {
[...goes on to handle the hexadecimal case...]

(aside - I love the conversion from string to decimal by subtracting the string value of '0', as this will work for any text encoding where the decimal digits are monotonic and contiguous - so ASCII and EBDIC at least...)
Are you kidding? Try taking a taxi in a city with a monopoly given to one company. I much prefer freelancers like Uber drivers. You use fear to justify violence.
While I agree up to a certain level, this opinion needs to stay within its limits.

I like the analogy of a photographer: Talents aside, a pro will always make better pictures using a cheap low-budget camera than any amateur will be able to do with the newest and best camera available.

IMHO the same holds true for any IT related job.
I'll believe it when they give away enough that they have to get real jobs and work for a living. Maybe that's overly snarky, but to me something rings hollow about people sitting in a multi-million dollar loft in Manhattan pontificating about pronouns and privilege. Like, the privilege isn't all that bad, is it? I mean it's not like you're trying to give it up. You aren't renting a run-down office in Toledo so you can maximize the amount you're giving away. You aren't really looking to inconvenience yourself in any way, just trying to assuage some guilt.

I guess it's better than spending it all on cocaine and hookers. Would it be worse to invest the money in a way that employs people fairly even if makes a profit for yourself? I don't think so.
There was a Python book on Wx back then if I am correct. At least that was what I used when writing a WxPerl program, a few years ago.
While those numbers are obviously competely unacceptable by any measure whatsoever, the fact that 9 of the dead are security forces should show that the entire situation is also simply _much_ more hardcore all around, compared to HK.

Yeah in any school the anti-bullying campaigns are pathetic charades 9 out of 10 times as the amazing selective perception of teachers and faculty strikes again and again to "whatever is an annoyance to them".

That is the true reason for lasting trauma and damage to victims - why they cheer at the deaths and destitution of their tormentors decades later. Because finally the assholes get what they deserve. Those who express horror get flipped the bird because they were the same sort of complicit assholes.
Maybe a service that on event would proxy a stream from the camera and push a notification to your phone (or whatever you're using as a client).

On notification you could choose whether or not to record the stream and save it as a file on the client.

Said service could provide a guarantee that all data passing through its servers will not be recorded, persisted or even decrypted.
It actually feels good giving away money. Try giving away $100, it doesn't need to be a million.

In the article the author states the above. The content is the problem. The value the content provides is not up to par with other book options.
