Most complaints that awk doesn't have have this or that feature ignore the fact that awk is not supposed to be used in isolation. Any substantial use of awk has to be tied to other UNIX utilities. I don't think you can, or should, write a medium to large size script completely in awk, the whole idea is to compose it with one or more UNIX commands.

The people at Apple who write the code usually do care about privacy. Their bosses and execs? It is harder to tell.

From the information I have, the majority of Apple employees do care about values such as privacy and ethical business practices, as well as product quality and usability, but those values can sometimes be undermined by executive decisions based on business and monetary motives.

"Humans now have the ability to travel much greater distances at much greater speeds. That makes it a lot harder to sequester large groups of people."

Most people travel through authorized checkpoints, and such authorized travel can be easily stopped, delayed, or restricted. That would be likely to be effective at greatly reducing most, though some desperate people could still try to get through by other means. But at least it'll stop the casual travellers and those not willing to take great risks to get through.

"The long borders to the north and south make it nearly impossible to completely shut down US inflow."

But one does not need to completely shut down US inflow to make a significant difference or slow down the progress of the pandemic to give more time for governments and health agencies to react.

It's likely that governments will be slow to react, and not take the problem seriously enough until it becomes too big to stop. Fast, early, decisive action is critical in containing such outbreaks.

That said, I have read health experts say that shutting down borders won't be effective at stopping pandemics.

The most effective thing (once this pandemic is over) is focusing on prevention of future pandemics, through much greater investment in public health, poverty-reduction measures, reduction of factory farming, research, and education. It's the lack of commitment to such measures that lead to greater risks of pandemics and lack of effectiveness against them.
Maybe it‘s like acid rain - the scare is keeping it from becoming what it could potentially be.

And at some point there will definitely be a major pandemic.
That is correct, and I should have made that clearer. However, a lot of it’s features are implemented in Swift (via custom operators, overloading etc) in addition to compiler intrinsics.

The point I had in mind was that a language like Swift may allow for both power and DSL-like expressiveness without requiring learning an entirely new language. In fact, standard arrays are implemented in Swift code (https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/master/stdlib/public/cor...) yet feel closer to say a Python list than a Java ArrayList from the user’s perspective.

MCAS is not the fundamental problem. The new CEO has said they may require training for this 737 variant after all. Given a failure to simply drop MCAS, do extra pilot training and move on, we can conclude the plane isn't safe without additional computer control - of the quality MCAS was not. I hope I'm wrong about that, but the longer it drags on the more it looks like that may be the case.

Are wheelchair ramps an example of cutting-edge / frontier technology in this metaphor? Shouldn't society catch up a little before announcing that a technology becomes a standard? Why shouldn't an advanced AI Siri guide any blind or deaf person through any institution, store, or software experience?

In this situation we are in fact saying that a large volume of user-submitted or professional porn should not be accessible because it might not be worth the money to transcribe. I don't think any stores are closing because a mall had to add wheelchair ramps. It's not like an inspiring technological undertaking.

"because of its privacy-marketing"

No, it's because they can't effectively leverage your data to sell you stuff, they don't need it.

Thus follows the privacy marketing.

If Apple did find your data useful, they wouldn't be able to leverage that marketing angle.

Companies are made up of people, who care about people, and also, corporate objectives are not evil, generally. Working with the FBI might raise your eyebrow, but it may not for others, and it's an ambiguous question to most.

In the end, the balance of power has not fundamentally shifted. Most people have little to worry about, some criminals may have more to worry about. Of course the problem arises when innocents are needlessly entangled - hopefully this can be minimised. It's not like the FBI has instant and easy access to your phone, thankfully.

While SARS does have a longer incubation period, typically 2-7 days compared to the common flu's 1-4 days, the "slow transmission" that you've witnessed is more likely the successful work of national and international public health agencies preventing its spread. Especially by means of contact tracing and quarantine.

Seasonal flu variants have a lethality of around 0.1%. The Spanish flu of 1918 was around 2%. SARS has a fatality rate of around 10%. There is minimal difference in transmission between strains. The only thing preventing disaster is effective public health response.

Your boss told you to say no. You tell people “no”, and refer them to your boss, and keep your boss informed of what your current workload is.

You are drowning in work because even after being directed to do so you refuse to stop accepting new requests when you are overloaded.

Saying “no” is an important skill.
How can Apple share private keys it doesn’t have access to?

Apple doesn’t control “private keys” you use to encrypt data. The keys wouldn’t be very private if that were the case.

The entire idea behind public/private keys is that you keep access to your private key.

It reminds me of William McRaven quote: "If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed... If you make your bed every morning, you will have accomplished the first task of the day. It will give you a small sense of pride, and it will encourage you to do another task and another and another. And by the end of the day, that one task completed, will have turned into many tasks completed. Making your bed will also reinforce the fact that the little things in life matter. If you can't do the little things right, you'll never be able to do the big things right. And if by chance you have a miserable day, you will come home to a bed that is made, that you made. And a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better."

I'm just saying that it is ridiculous to question whether the people behind the site are Neo-Nazis and fascists. They admit what they are— there's not much room for debate.
There's no disinformation in my comments. I seem to be one of the few people on the planet who seems to have actually dug into this exact issue while others only offer the typical FUD we've seen about how Apple's encryption works in China.

The fact is that Apple has said multiple times (and even under oath) that end-to-end encryption applies to iPhones and iMessage in China, the same as it does everywhere else.

And once again Erik Neuenschwander, an Apple privacy exec, told Congress in a hearing in December that this was still the case.

Google is a Trillion dollar company for a reason
I don't think there's a shortage of good embedded people. A lot of the companies involved in this travesty could afford them, and have access to good candidates, but have no reason to do it. Cheaper and commoditized hardware has lowered the barrier of entry for selling your own stuff, and the lack of regulation means that the consequences for screwing up in terms of security or privacy are basically zero.

What you see happening isn't an accident. There are companies that do excellent IoT work, with excellent people. Many companies that don't could afford to excellent engineers, and have access to a terrific pool of candidates, but their management chooses another way and they're perfectly aware of what they're doing.

(Sauce: am embedded developer, has been involved on and odd in the IoT scene since 2011 or so).

> I work in the banking industry. It's not very unusual to discover that a client might be doing something that is suspicious enough to notify law enforcement of it (these notices are mandatory).

You work in the banking industry. This is not the banking industry. Money laundering laws as they are written make bankers (and other financial service industry workers) criminally liable for criminal acts even if there was no criminal intent on the part of the bankers. That is not the case in retail, and I shudder even at the thought.

> You're supposed to attempt to prevent these situations from happening in the first place

You're not "supposed" to -- you are legally required to play police officer, and can be criminally liable if your organization allows this activity if there is any sort of way to detect it, even if that detection is not part of the legal mandate. Filing too many SARs can get you in as much trouble as actively money laundering.

These AML laws are horrific, and create a ton of bureaucratic burden on companies and force them to deliberately cut off customers who are using their facilities for totally legitimate reasons because they match a pattern also used by criminals. This, of course, it part of the reason for these laws; to starve sectors (for example, legal marijuana dispensaries) that can't be explicitly made illegal and have to be made "uncomfortable" instead.

Amazon shouldn't play cop; they should let law enforcement prosecute real cases of fraud, rather than trying to preemptively prevent fraud and in the process add burdensome requirements that restrict access to their marketplace and allow well-capitalized rent-seeking incumbents to further consolidate their market power over small shops that rely on equal access to the marketplace.

Account verification is orthogonal to communication channel. There's nothing about the internet that precludes identity and other KYC checks.

> It was never displayed on the pay sheet, and I think this may be due to how that particular web shop is set up – you specify shipping details after inputting payment details, but only for card purchases, for Apple Pay it just gets your Apple data.

I've implemented the Apple Pay API in an iOS application, and there's no way to get shipping info without explicitly requesting it from the user. The only options I can think of are that:

1. If it's an app, it has access to your contacts, and it's finding your personal contact info and using that without asking you (seems unlikely for a bunch of reasons)

2. You've given the website your shipping information previously, and it's just remembering that

But there's no way for a website/app to just "get your Apple data"

> there's not much room for debate

I'm not aware of anyone, anywhere, debating that. The debate is: what do we do about it? Do we compromise our values to hurt a minute group of bad actors? Or do we have integrity and tough it out?

The answer, at least in the United States, both culturally but also at the government is: nothing is done to them, they get speech like everyone else.

I oppose CloudFlare's decision because, culturally, it's un-American—and they are an American company. I expect all Americans, and especially the most prosperous and successful Americans—like the CEO of CloudFlare—to uphold those values.
I don't have my dotfile here (on my phone) but here's some ideas from things I've aliased that I use a lot:

cdd : like cd but can take a file path

- : cd - (like 1-level undo for cd)

.. : cd ..

... : cd ../.. (and so on up to '.......')

nd : like cd but enter the dir too

udd : go up (cd ..) and then rmdir

xd : search for arg in parent dirs, then go as deep as possible on the other branch (like super-lazy cd, actually calls a python script).

ai : edit alias file and then source it

Also I set a bindkey (F5 I think) that types out | awk '{print}' followed by the left key twice so that the cursor is in the correct spot to start awk'in ;D

# Bind F5 to type out awk boilerplate and position the cursor

bindkey -c -s "^[[[E" " | awk '{print }'^[[D^[[D"

Edit: better formatting (and at work now so pasted the bindkey)
