I'm sorry but as a user, I trust my relationship with Apple more than I trust random third party devs.

As a user, I want Apple to lock down the system and make things hard for developers.

As a developer, I empathize with my perspective as a user and build products that take this into account.
Respectfully, unless your adversary is the NSA, and they are targeting you, your argument is full of shit.
I know. I’m talking about iOS 13 beta 1.

If you think this is what a bad OS looks like, you should try that.
Which is, of course, ridiculous. The public editor (or ombudsman at WaPo) served a crucial role in giving official "news" status and internal information about drawbacks in their own reporting - neither function which can be filled by randoms on social media.
Your essay looks great. I also often need to write essay because I am university student. I study computer science. Recently I got task to write essay about computer network but I am bad in this topic so I apply to https://assignmentshark.com/computer-network-help.html for little helping.
How to Make Sure You Don’t Get Hacked on Your Private Jet
This article explains why something is buggy. Maybe why Apple's software is buggy.

It does not explain why the latest stuff is so buggy.

Is Catalina that much more complex than, say, Mavericks?
Are managers playing deadline chicken more?

I don't see evidence for this.
I had the same question recently and so built an app to surface rapidly growing google trends.

It was a Show HN project not long ago and people seemed to like it: https://trennd.co

I've also noticed a lot of larger trends that other commenters have highlighted too:

- data privacy focussed products (DuckDuckGo/SimpleAnalytics)

- everything machine learning

- meat substitutes

- alternative forms of entertainment (axe throwing/escape rooms)
Every cyclist frees up a car park.
I refuse to install iOS 13.0 because it's so buggy, and refuse to install Catalina because all it does is take away features rather than adding value. They can't seem to stop to fix what's already broken, so they add a few things, break a few more and remove some I use and say "the emperor's new clothes are awesome."
So it's hard to value the premium for google cold potato specifically, if it outclasses everything else.

But their hot potato still costs $65+ per TB at medium volumes and $45+ per TB at high volumes. That is still extremely high compared to normal peering costs.
Every company out there cares for money lot more than anything else. Heck why company even Presidents and Congress cares more about taking other people's money.
I first check brew...
What you are asking for is the ideal world scenario, the one we hope to get to as we teach our children exactly what you say here. But the reality is, advertising and patriarchal forces among other things have caused us to live in a gender unbalanced society. We need time and effort and to work together to acknowledge there are problems, then we'll get there.
Yep. As an android user and ex apple fanboy, I very much miss the relative safety of the iOS app store.
And Apple taking 30% of that... for what? Payment processing is a 4% thing. It’s in the app developers interest to make it not have errors. It’s just for access to the market. That is the only value Apple truly brings, outside of the brand and a privacy commitment
What about upgrades due to the environment and not the app. Like OS changes etc. That’s not bug fixes but those are very real issues with very costs.
New evidence an asteroid 12,800 years ago triggered an abrupt climate change
Interesting. You're one of the few people I know on Linux not using Chrome/Chromium or Firefox (or one of it's derivatives). And the others I know mostly use Konqueror.
Productized services :) People want the "job done" more and more and that is going to apply to many more services, mostly enabled by tech!

I am also running a pretty growing community on that on FB (Productized Startups)
Coming from the US West Coast, I was unpleasantly surprised by how anti-pedestrian certain parts felt. The biggest issue for me was the difference in right of way in New Zealand. It was unsettling walking around with a reduced right of way versus cars. Reversing that would be a major nation-wide undertaking, but I think it would benefit the pedestrian and biking atmosphere.
> claims about LED lifetime costs based on (seemingly false) figures about durability. (E.g. drive around Los Angeles and see the dead/dying LED streetlights all over the place).

LED can be made durable if desired. In Detroit's case[1], the high failure rate can be attributed to manufacturer cutting corner on heat dissipation.

What about asking david marcus for pegging to the Iranian Rial or Venezuela Bolivar?
I have a theory that this year tons of stuff was rewritten in Swift, because with the lockdown of the ABI it's now possible to write libraries in Swift. This might be why this year is a bumper crop of bugs.
Most families in the developed world are having one to two kids.

I rode a bike with a toddler in a toddler seat on the back until I was 8 months pregnant. You can also get little "cars" to tow behind your bike to hold two kids.

I always hated cars. My kids never felt like a barrier to going far free. My marriage did. After the divorce, my kids and I eventually went car free.

They are adults. They still live with me. We remain car free. We're happier this way.
They bike. Or take public transport and walk afterwards. My grandparents do this, and they wouldn't have it any other way.
I thought about the general elections. As for the primaries:

* Clinton locked out nearly all of the viable opponents by using institutional control, the only one left was one sufficiently outside the Democratic party so she had a strong institutional advantage. No voting system could have fixed that.

* Trump actually had some popularity as a second choice among Republican primary voters, and we see that later on when only Cruz and Kasich were left. The other candidates' failure were more mundane - Not taking Trump seriously, op research failure, Trump being able to coordinate with Christi while the others were less able to coordinate, etc.

* The option to reject all nominees.. is interesting, but can lead to a 2nd/3rd ballot while the government is semi-paralyzed. It may not be a good idea to allow that.
Believe it or not, The New York Times is the least relevant news source on earth, and decidedly so, since perhaps... 2013 maybe?

The New York Times is unreadable trash, and it's really unfortunate that, as an organization, they set the tone and act as a mouthpiece for all United States journalism, domestic and abroad. This has been an undeserved status for perhaps the last half-decade.

They do not report news. I'll say it again, they do not report news. Do not read The New York Times. It is a distorted lens that will prevent an accurate understanding of the world around you.
AWS is a good example of this
A few years ago there was a heavy snowstorm in Provo Utah, that caused a very local power outage. I was able to continue reading a book using only light pollution bouncing off the clouds.

(The window I was at was facing away from the town the light was coming from)
Graduating from Yale Law sounds like it's for suckers. Let the elites have their crazy working hours and stressful hoop jumping--I'm not envious.
I can think of many counter examples too. Say, Netflix, Arista Networks, Google, Facebooks, and etc. I guess the key is to pick a good company instead of avoiding options. And of course, leave a company immediately if it shows fundamentally bad signs.
Very little has been rewritten in Swift.
AI/ML that involves self-programming systems. If you can crack that nut, you have the potential to be a centibillion/trillionaire.
> I'm still not sure why this tech isn't more commonplace

It's the same story with DFM probes (artificial root that measures water content). I think the (one) reason is that it's quicker to get in your bakkie (pick-up) or quad bike and go to the block yourself than trying to figure out on your computer why the probe says you had applied water throughout the whole night (i.e., 15 times too much). Turns out someone walked passed, opened the valve and just walked away (for shits and giggles?).
What Comes After Epistemic Spot Checks?
Andrew Gelman is quoted as saying that 2000 was the stone age in recognizing statistical error. Has statistics really come that far in 20 years?
Did you ask L’Académie française?

They know everything. Just ask them.
iOS 12 beta 1 was a lot better, FWIW.
Logging out judiciously from social media sites
FWIW, the issue with life experience anecdotes is that they don't control for genetic confounding. Most rich kids have both the environment their parent created for them, as well as the genes their parents gave them. So it's impossible to tell which is more important in determining the life outcomes we see.

There is a whole discipline called behavioral genetics that uses twin and adoption studies and, increasingly, genome wide association studies (GWAS) to tease these things apart. Most of these studies seem to point to most outcomes being about half genetic and half random (that is, something other than the environment created by the parents).
I recently switched away from FF's built-in password manager after it stopped syncing my passwords for some reason. (I read this sometimes happens with master passwords set?)

Now I'm using the KeePass database format (with KeePassXC, KeePassXC-Browser and KeePass DX as my clients) and it's honestly much better. More ways to organize my passwords, more features overall and I can just store my passwords in an encrypted file and sync it via my regular file syncing system.
Gaming on Linux is fine these days. Surely not a blocker for switching for the most part (except for some edge cases like some multiplayer games that depend on some weird anti-cheats).
As a user, I want my system to use containerization for me to not worry about where I get my apps from. You know, like Flatpak does it. This isn't really an argument for modern OSes such as desktop Linux anymore.
NYT continues to break important, 'government source/whistleblower' journalism. Pulitzer is an obvious reference of recent and consequential stories including a description of a 'deeply sourced' story right up top [1], amongst volumes and volumes more reporting.

Ask HN: How would you find similar stories to any HN story
I use https://hn.algolia.com/ extensively to search for interesting articles by inputting a keyword. I was thinking, it would have been nice if there was a way to show up a "More like this" link against each HN article which will display say top 5 related HN stories and the user can quickly navigate to them.

How would you go about implementing such a feature ? Find interesting keywords in an article url/title and lookup the HN api to pull stories ? Or do you think this is too much to ask for ?
You are right. The only scenario where is makes sense is in the Netherlands and even they are struggling to stay in business, meaning they will have to specialise or rethink their business plan. Data analysis in the open field is just as interesting to do and in fact has a much more transferable (eventual) tech stack.
Have you considered Setapp? They offer an App-store equivalent but all apps are included for a monthly fee.
Mainly from a user experience and customer service perspective:

You can hire a non technical person to manage your inbox without having to code as much to connect with your systems.

If you have problems with G suite, you are a paying customer and you get support from Google. There's a phone number you can call and get your problems solved.
> anti-science racist right-wingers... is probably the biggest threat to any progress

don't really know what race has to do with it, but big international banks are a bigger threat since they won't let any nation unplug from the global economy. follow the money.
Is this then called 3D free range chicken?

Well it would have the same permissions as crash reports in general? It uploads the same amount of info as normal crashes right?

Most apps send analytics up already if you are not already aware, most don't ask for your permission to do so.
Why exactly should they care? Is there something secret on their site? A login form perhaps?
Because this argument is tone deaf and ignores that kids are, well, kids.

Actual adults have terrible security practices. Are you seriously trying to hold kids, who had no choice in the matter, to the same security standards? They’re kids, and likely won’t even understand the gravity of the situation we’re discussing here.

These aren’t grown adults working at a company. They’re kids who had laptops foisted upon them.
Ask the Dutch. How do they do it? Or do you assume they do not have young kids or grandmas?

Why is it that whenever people talk about designing cities for pedestrians and bikes, someone on hackernews thinks it means eliminating all cars entirely forever. For a forum ostensibly designed for entrepreneurs, it shows a tremendous lack of imagination.

Answer:
* Public transportation inside cities such as buses and trams

* Trains to rural areas

* Park-and-ride garages for people to drive in, and park next to transportation hubs

* Underground parking garages at the edges of pedestrian zones, or even underneath them, coming up directly above them

* Ubiquitous bike storage and bike attachments such that yes, in fact, a mom with 3 young kids can tow them from a single bike - moms in Amsterdam and Berlin do it all the time.
LA is one of the best cities to push cycling - it hardly rains. If the city subsidized electric bicycle uptake it could be a beautiful thing. Of course, you'd had to also make car lobbying illegal so good luck with that.
iina can ply youtube stream without pre-downloading them. You have also Picture in Picture following you on all desktop.

iina is open source and have a lot of codec available.

I don't know if it change something on energy consumption, though.
After employing various PEs on various aspects of new buildings, I can't say I'm surprised. Never a straight answer when a convoluted one is available. Never a helpful creative suggestion. Rarely a thought for the needs of the end user. Rarely a plan drawing that clearly explains what contractors are supposed to do. Even worse, never a clear answer to the questions inevitably inspired by those inadequate drawings.
Almost every school in my area (UK) uses fingerprint scanners, including my son's. They're used only for purchasing food from the school's cafeteria.

I'm quite "privacy aware" and don't really have any problems with this. The schools act under GDPR, the data stored is just a hash of the fingerprint, and compared to the data held on the school management software, a fingerprint hash is pretty negligible.

My kid could pay in cash, but that introduces the possibility of losing it or having it stolen. They could use an ID card, which again can be lost and would still end up storing data.
Interesting, I wouldn't have expected that either. I wonder if the "some people get more votes" concern disappears if reframed from "vote for you who approve", to "vote yes or no for each candidate". In a 7-candidate race, it's not that one person casts 1 vote, and another casts 4; both cast 7 votes (1-6 vs 4-3).

I suspect we're so conditioned to treating votes as exclusionary/zero-sum, the mere idea of one person ticking multiple boxes can easily trigger instincts for fairness / cheater detection.
This is a neat project well-executed. Most of the trends I see on the list I've already heard about. Is there a way to surface up and coming trends?
Sadly it is required to have a paid account.
Especially that they keep the 30% if someone refunds your app. If it would be 15% or less okay, but 30% and keep the proceeds? Seems to be sort of straddling the legality line.
I've been getting that a lot lately. That's what makes this not fun. If my company is knowingly stealing from people why should I keep silent?
Yeah I looked into this, and it's definitely overkill for what we wanted (plus sending them more money to fix a problem they made for us would be very grating). All we needed to do is read/write Excel data and similar functions and keeping it local is key. There wasn't much available when this got put in place but there are plenty of reliable libraries now.
Tangentially related: GitHub has already dropped support for Mojave. The whole site is now broken in Safari 12 because it’s no longer the “current” version of the browser. Well, it is if you run Mojave, as you need to upgrade the entire system to get Safari 13.

I can understand not developing new features for Safari 12, but speaking of regressions, why would you go break things that used to work a week ago?
Some good recommendations in the article. As a resident, I have enjoyed Joe Ide and especially Walter Moseley’s writing and sense of place. Not to mention all the crime TV and movies set here, from Chinatown to the Rockford Files.
But sshuttle is so much simpler if you have ssh access to a remote server. Just a matter of installing it for your os.

Glad you like Boller - or minimally think she is interesting / courageous ;)

I think there's a struggle to motivate national $$ with a moderate message/candidate. But I think we all might be surprised that the truth, the honest personal story, (and the insider electability politics) might be even more valuable than some liberal issue crusader.
Thank you! I'd recommend filtering by 12months or less or selecting the "exponential" trends filter type to surface the hottest stuff.
Why do you think it would be unworkable for a corrupt ad network in cahoots with your corrupt ISP to correlate your web requests based on time, length and previously seen traffic from the VPN IP?
Apple Does not refund the fee? That's insane! On top of that I need to pay apple $100 per year to keep my app in the store. Even PayPal has been refunding the transaction fees (at least until recently).
They can be driven down quickly with a demolition hammer/rotary hammer.
I just saw Runa speak at kawaiicon (kiwicon) in New Zealand, giving the keynote speech, and it was quite evident she not only knew what she was doing but applied it skillfully in the context of an internationally investigative journal. They no doubt have nation-state actors working against them and to infiltrate, and in the light of the both present and coming tsunami of security issues, I cant begin to guess what her employers are thinking in eliminating her role. She will fair far better than the NYT in this decision, that's certain.
Changing the voting system in America will have little effect on the party system. However, the adoption of non-partisan runoffs like in Louisiana and California will have a great effect on the people who are chosen.

The current duopoly exists despite the voting system. Look at Canada and the UK, which have thriving national third parties and regional additional parites. And consider that NZ switched to MMP and Australia switched to IRV because of third party upsets. Canadians don't really worry if a vote for the NDP is a wasted vote - they vote NDP, and maybe their candidate gets up or maybe not.

The duopoly exists because various states basically have laws requiring it - granting special privileges like ballot access or membership of the state gerrymandering commission to the too two parties. There may also be a contribution from the fact that electoral districts have vastly too many voters.

Non-partisan runoffs increase the chances of a meaningful choice on voting day. IRV merely lets you vote for someone who won't get in. NPRV won't change the duopoly because that's required by law. But if you get a choice between the moderate Strawberry Pie party candidate and the extreme Strawberry Pie party candidate, you can get a good result from that.
I happen to live in an area where roads have been slightly overbuilt and there’s plenty of roads and hardly any traffic on them.
I’d say the existing infrastructure is perfect for bicycles we just need to get rid of the cars.
Based on file type alone I assumed it was some sort of formal report rather than a press release and therefore not breaking news.
This is called equipotential bonding and a failure to implement or maintain it leads to occasional but tragic or fatal outcomes, we had one recently locally where a 12 year old girl was seriously brain damaged and needing life long care because she touched an outdoor tap.
You use AVRO and the confluent schema store so that you can do compatible schema upgrades (automatically upgrading messages when reading). If you need to do a breaking change, you can detect the avro schema from the message and have code in the reader to convert one to the other. It’s not that much of a problem in practice.
I think we're doing interesting work at Apollo Agriculture (https://apolloagriculture.com)!

We work with smallholder farmers in subsaharan africa (currently Kenya) to help them transition to commercial farming. Basically, we sell them a package of the seed, fertilizer, advice, insurance, and training that they need to substantially improve their yield and profits. We're moving towards helping farmers shift to a diversified blend of crops and providing market access.

(In most of the developed world, these are all provided by different players, but the challenges of a developing market push us to offer them all together.)

If you're interested in chatting, either drop a comment here or shoot me an email at (earl at apolloagriculture dot com).
Good catch! We will add it in the article
China US cold war at some point of time ? In 5 - 10 years China may become powerful enough to be able to bully all nations bar US to pursue its interests. Economic colonisation of weaker states in Africa and elsewhere (e.g. Pakistan) by China will lead to interesting geopolitical scenarios.

I still don't know how to effectively convince others to take on new risks in order to avoid bigger risks presented by the status quo.

I think you just need to be talking to someone who can understand the risks you convey, has the responsibility for both risks and the authority to effect the necessary change.

IME that's straightforward in most small companies and in large government departments it's rarely one person but multiple committees of people who you'd never be able to explain the risks to and who won't make a decision.

Feel my pain?!
Really? I read otherwise: https://blog.timac.org/2019/0926-state-of-swift-ios13/

It'd be hard to know unless you worked there. It's just a wild theory, I might be wrong :)
That’s what that means, “before” being the opposite of “behind”. It’s just not as common a construction in most English locales as it used to be. It does still get more restricted usage in this sense: when considering the future, “this is what lies before us” wouldn’t sound out of place.
Scientists have trained rats to drive tiny cars to collect food
It depends on the impedance of the soil. If impedance is too high, you need additional and/or longer rods, spaced accordingly.

The code says MINIMUM of 8ft in contact with soil. MAXIMUM earth ground impedance of 5 Ohm. So you need to keep driving in rods (or use an alternate grounding system) until you are below 5 Ohm - hence your multiple rods.
I agree that's a rather aggressive schedule for support, but I'm running Mojave 10.14.6 (18G103) and Safari Version 13.0.2 (14608.2.40.1.2) right now.
Definitely an interesting change. As new fashion normalizes wearables the stigma some people perceive will reduce hopefully increasing use
