Ok, to distill my point: I think the author is going beyond a complaint that the system is proprietary and claiming that Apple has purposefully made the code difficult to reverse engineer, which I something I dispute based on the level that the author was working with, which were fairly standard (might I say comparatively well-packaged) private APIs. I say this because I know there is actual Apple-proprietary code that the company has actually put effort into obfuscating; things like FairPlay (and closer to iMessage, IDS, though I have only heard rumors of the latter not having looked at it personally). Thus, at the moment I think Apple is preventing third-party clients of the type described just by virtue of the literal barrier of “this is a compiled blob that I need to interact with and I don’t have source to” rather than “Apple added obfuscation/prevents you from attaching a debugger/encrypts the code at rest with a Blowfish key that is undone when the kernel maps the process into memory” (all of which are things that Apple does actually do in cases where they half-care). Basically, I’m removing the attribution of malice I felt from the article. Does that make some sort of sense?
It can if it loses mass, correct? Energy conservation would result in increased momentum.
How is this example relevant to the article ? The article discusses reducing the scope of policing, not end of policing. Not sure why this comment is upvoted.

The whole point is to be about your social circle. If 90% of my social circle is on iPhone, they're on iMessage.

What the rest of the world outside of my social circle does isn't really relevant to my conversations inside my social circle.

I've run up against this reality multiple times. I personally prefer signal & whatsapp for group chats than iMessage. If only because I can mute them and not get an annoying red bubble telling me about the hundreds of messages I'm trying to not react to in real time when I'm busy.
Tandy and Commodore??

This is more of a hardware interface to an unpaid network service than a personal computer.
Yup, I have a similar (non-)system with a folder called "bucket". It gets filled up, named to <year+month>_bucket. I have a few years worth of buckets.

Occasionally I go through them and move relevant/valuable files into their respective category folders like "books". But, I try to do that while the bucket is fresh/small, since they are by nature a mess of information.
Presumably it's one of these graphs? https://i.imgur.com/r7xJfi1.jpg https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/VHmmdKYio39kz017ECfPwCxGPT...

> Is depriving everyone of additional liberties for a month worth increasing life expectancy by 3 hours?

This analysis is flawed, because it compares the entire cost to only parts of the gain. Economic depression because no-one dares to go outside of fear for their lives, has for instance negative value too.
I believe it applies to organizations only after you explicitly grant access to those organizations. Otherwise it's just your private repos I guess.
A few things as it sounds like you've only had limited exposure to Shodan:

We scan 600+ million hostnames per month to be able to detect websites that require a valid SNI. We've been curating our own DNS database for many years for that reason. You can query that information if you're a member/ subscriber (ex: https://beta.shodan.io/domain/ycombinator.com).

Only downloading by website is based on single-use tokens. Downloading via the API or command-line interface doesn't require a payment each time - that's why we have subscriptions. And we generally recommend users to download using the renewable query credits:

https://help.shodan.io/guides/how-to-download-data-with-api

Our Corporate API plan ($899/ month) has unlimited query credits per month. I mean every system out there will be priced based on some factor - for us it's the amount of data you want to download each month. Most companies have 1 functional Shodan account that's subscribed to the API and they then share the API key internally.

And doing IP lookups doesn't count towards your search quota as a free user. You can lookup more than 5 IPs per day if you do a direct IP lookup instead of a search.

Here's a breakdown of the credit types on Shodan:

https://help.shodan.io/the-basics/credit-types-explained

Note that we're going to deprecate export credits because it's caused some confusion. They were the first way that I tried to monetize the website (aside from donations) because some security companies asked to download data but it makes more sense to simply have query/ scan credits nowadays.
True, though tenants in corporate owned single family housing all tell me it's closer towards the worst landlords. The corporations won't harass you, but they essentially don't want to do anything. You just get an expensive "as-is" house, which can be okay if it's in decent shape.
I would rather have a group of people trained on how to apprehend criminals with the minimum force necessary and with rules and regulations to follow than have untrained, armed citizens going to retrieve their goods. Would the farmer have the freedom to search any property they please? A criminal would not let the farmer search his property, and if the farmer insisted with force he could be threatening an innocent person. Criminals would almost always be better armed and trained than their victims, and if a "mercenary" service existed which could be hired by victims, that mercenary service is essentially just privatized police.

Yes, there are often police who do not follow the regulations on how to interact with suspects, but I believe it is better to have guidelines which are sometimes broken than none at all.
Ok, assume without loss of generality that we choose karma as the reward mechanism. How do we measure how much karma to give to whom? If it's just for activity on /newest, people will write bots to game it, and we'll end up worse off than before. There needs to be a way to reward doing a good job of selecting stories, but not a bad job. How do you measure a good job?
I don’t know if there is such evidence, and while it could be interesting to know just out of curiosity, it doesn’t strike me as particularly valuable to test the impact of adding additional irrelevant information to job applications.
Honestly "master doesn't pass tests" is just a naming problem. Solving is just a matter of renaming master to something else ('dev'? 'potentially-incorrect'?) and making a new version of it that does pass tests.
iMessage is ABSOLUTELY brilliant if your family and friends are all on iPhones, which I'm pretty sure is fairly common in most Western countries.

Regardless whether you agree with that, it is super practical for me and my family. It also means we don't have run other chat software like WhatsApp.

The whole experience is just so seamless and well integrated across your devices. Everything from regular messages, voicenotes, sending cute animojis to your wife, or doing a FaceTime with my 102 year old grandmother. I do that on a daily basis. And I can easily continue a conversation from my computer, or even respond from my Apple Watch when exercising.

I am still on WhatsApp though as there are millions of users worldwide, but I keep notifications off and check it only once a day.

China is not a free market, but your other examples are mostly on point. Except that Telegram (and Viber) are really popular only in a few countries. Most of Europe (and the world) uses WhatsApp.
He said, “We still believe our strategy is good”. That’s a far cry from “he is not sure”.
If Sweden has a significantly higher percentage of the population infected (as they claim) then it doesn’t make sense to compare death rates at this point, because it may be that these other countries will reach the same numbers (infection rate and death rate) later. This is a likely outcome because Sweden’s healthcare system has not been overwhelmed, so it’s not obvious that their policies will lead to excess deaths in the long run. The thing to compare is the final death toll (as well as economic damage), and we don’t know that yet.
When a company provides a service I expect them to continue doing so unless there's a case of "force majeure".

By all means support whatever causes you believe in, write a blog post, donate to the cause and (most importantly - which is what a lot of companies conveniently omit in the case of BLM) fix your own internal issues related to that cause.

But if you're going to degrade the service you promised to provide as some sort of "support" it is just bullshit virtue-signaling and it is actively hurting people including those that are part of the cause you're supporting.

This is an open-source project so there's no liability or warranty attached to it and we have no right to expect anything, but nevertheless I will definitely keep this in mind next time I have to pick a technology or library and will make sure to evaluate them not only on their technical merits but also on their propensity to such bullshit.
“Document flow” was perhaps a poor choice of word because of its overloaded meaning. I meant “the flow of content and writing within the document” rather than the layout term.
Have not seen those yet but this should be a friendly reminder that insurance companies jobs are literally to do everything they possibly can to not pay you any damages or the least amount in damages. They are after all for profit organizations so whatever they can do to keep as much cash as possible is the goal.
Touchtyping means you should never look at the keyboard - you rely on your muscle memory and relative positioning (starting from those little ridges on two characters in the middle of the keyboard) to hit the right key. As anything related to muscle memory, like learning an instrument or playing ball, it’s all about practice.

If you decide to try a new layout, print an image of it and keep it in front of you, then load some typing tutor program (some web-based ones: keybr, keyzen, ratatype, but there are desktop ones too which typically work better than browser-based ones, because those struggle to correctly detect the actual layout) and start practicing. After a few hours, you can try your hand at something fun like Typeracer, and then it should be downhill from there.

You’ll likely have to spend a few weeks doing an hour or so of daily practice, tolerating a lower rate of typing and a higher rate of mistakes (which is the most frustrating part - try to go for precision, even if it means being slower, it will work better in the long run).

I would recommend starting over a weekend and giving it at least 4h per day, so on Monday you should be good enough to resist the inevitable pressure to switch back. I started mid-week a few times, in the evening, and it was a mistake - without significant practice, the temptation to roll back to be productive is too high.

This is my experience anyway. Spurred by a bout of wrist pain, I switched to a Kinesis Freestyle about 5 years ago, and then to Colemak a year later. I never looked back, this combination took away my wrist pain for good. I can still occasionally use qwerty without cursing too much, but the impact on my wrists is definitely noticeable compared to Colemak. Same for going back to laptop keyboards, particularly post-2016 Apple ones (admittedly I've not tried the very latest one).

People in all countries get measles. Should we help every country equally? If, gasp, there's a rich kid in Pakistan who may get a free measles vaccine, is that evidence to stop fighting measles in Pakistan?

White families have ten times the average wealth versus black families. Putting aside the significant mountain of evidence racial bias in hiring, in tech, in basically every facet of life, that single statistic should be evidence enough that more funding is necessary for minorities.

And what hypocrisy? You can say that black people are not inherently different but face different circumstances due to societal problems. That's not hypocrisy. That's simply acknowledging that race plays a factor in nurture but maybe not nature.
Try this argument the next time someone calls you racist for assuming all Asians are good at Math.

Maybe the blind guy did not want to be patronizingly helped with crossing the road. Maybe he would have asked for help if needed it and could have done without a sighted knight.

If these arguments sound perverse just swap out some other 'issue' and they will start sounding familiar.
Here is "The Secret" from my wife's friend who keeps trying to talk us into buying rental properties. Especially applicable for places like Seattle that have a lot of eviction restrictions and tenant selection restrictions.

For a multi-room home:

1) Find a foreign female student to act as the primary tenant. It is easy to target rental availability to this market.

2) Let her find additional roommates.

Foreign female students usually are well-funded by rich parents. And, if a resident of a "single family home" (the first tenant) is seeking roommates they can discriminate more than a non-resident landlord can.

The last thing I want to do is get into the landlord business so I keep pushing back.

Note, when I was a kid, my mom had a hell of a time evicting a Section 8 tenant. It took months and they left behind tons of garbage and damage. It was tough on my mom because she felt so duped by the lady that rented her house while we were living in another part of the country. My mom was a struggling single mom too, our family of four lived in a basement of her friend for several months until the eviction cleared. And then it took a week to clean up the home before we could move back in.

Lack of source code is not stopping bad actors from looking at iMessage.
> Yeah, sure, a black guy from a rich family that attended MIT will have a harder time finding funding than his white or asian friends from the same background ... but he'll have a much easier time than some white kid from a broken home.

Even if your claims are supported by evidence, why is it a bad thing to want to correct that disparity? The fact that there also exist other disparities in the world doesn’t seem like a good reason to oppose correcting one particular disparity.
With reference to a recent HN thread, I wonder if saying "I'm a developer/security expert/working on a classified government project and HAVE to use a special phone" would garner sympathy or admiration and stop the questions.
> So someone with 1 day left in their life is equal to someone with 70 years?

You're the one trying to quantify the value of life.

To me, my parents and grandparents are more important than your 1yo son/daughter, so YMMV.

Still, you're missing the whole point. The point is that it makes absolutely no sense to downplay an epidemic just because it hits hardest on those suffering from pre-existing medical conditions or being over 40. The coffins piling up on makeshift morgues make it quite obvious that the real effect of the death wave is not anticipating death by a couple of hours, and it matters nothing if those doing the dying are sick, old, or disabled.

> The iMessage team for macOS

Given Apple’s frenetic propensity to be extremely resource conscious, I doubt that team even exists any longer.

There’s likely some larger messages team that is itching to replace that app with the iOS version via Mac Catalyst... which despite the poor experience of most Catalyst apps on the Mac, would still make for a marked improvement. Goes to show you how poorly maintained the app is.

Bounce Rate in the checkout funnel? Do you mean the "Exit Rate" at specific steps in the funnel?

Just to clarify, because as far as I know from some years in the industry, in every tool I got to know a "Bounce" is defined as a single tracking hit from a user id without further measured activity.

Meaning after the first measured page view (the entry to the site) leaving the site couldn't be called a bounce.

None the less: If one is interested in a user privacy aware solution to replace GA with a focus on funnels, eCommerce, and such I would probably (up to a certain scale of traffic) recommend to take a look at Matomo (former Piwik). Can be run on your own server, has a lot of the basic functions of GA, a great API, can be used to do goal/path analysis as well as marketing performance reporting.

If a company/site reaches a certain scale I would probably recommend to use a paid solution like Adobe Analytics (or paid GA), after having done an evaluation into the real needs of said company/site.
Depends on the margins. Personally I think lease-Purchase would be a much better construct.
Does this apply to other apple stuff, such as airpods?
"it has approximately 1/3 of the population density of Croatia"

Not really. Sweden has a low population density (23/km²) because most of the country has no one living there. The Stockholm region, where the spread of the virus has been the highest, has a population density of 5200/km².

(Numbers from wikipedia)
The nursing homes (as opposed to service homes) in Sweden are generally a "last resort", for elderly that are incapable.of taking care of themselves. Very fragile elderly with varying degree of confusion and dementia. For a Swedish nursing home the life expectancy after admission is something like 400 days.

The nursing homes has failed miserably at protecting their inhabitants in and around Stockholm. The debate about lacking funding and poor quality care has been going on for the past 2 decades. The recent stories has been about people walking from sick to healthy patients/inhabitants (I don't know the correct English term, sorry) without proper disinfection and sanitation, even though supplies have been available.

Depends on your definition of “benefit”.

You can drop regular practice after a while, so the penalty on speed and accuracy is effectively capped; while the benefit on wrist health is not, because it will stay with you for life. Imho a month or so of lower productivity is worth the long-term effects.
The rule is section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. This via the EFF[1]:

> Section 230 says that "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider" (47 U.S.C. § 230). In other words, online intermediaries that host or republish speech are protected against a range of laws that might otherwise be used to hold them legally responsible for what others say and do.

In other words they'd be liable for what is published on their site whether by them or a third party.

Platform is not a legal term, it's a colloquial distinction from publisher, which in this case refers to either the "interactive computer service" (e.g. Twitter) or the third party (e.g. the tweeter). Interactive computer service isn't as catchy.

> Can you give an example of such a rule and what it would look like if it were applied to twitter?

My first guess would be a slew of defamation cases, probably by touchy celebrities, just as with other publishers like tabloid newspapers.

I definitely agree, the insane dependency chains really make me uncomfortable.

However, not every project will involve pulling in such crazy stacks. I recently experimented with Hapi + TypeORM. Hapi's core goal is to use only what they directly maintain, and I think it works really well! Node_modules is still not tiny, but it's at least an order of magnitude better than what I'm used to.
I think the parseInt example is more of a gotcha of point-free syntax. Normally it would be written as ['1','7','11'].map(e => parseInt(e))
That thought experiment does not reflect any realities of the real world that we are discussing, so I don’t find it particularly interesting. The analogous situation would be if judges systematically sentence Black men to twice the jail time for that crime as Asian men, and someone proposed correcting that disparity by cutting the Black man’s sentence in half (so that it would match the Asian man’s sentence). I would support that.

For retargeting you would probably have to have the DoubleClick code on your site nonetheless. But at least serving European users you would only be able to activate it after a clear opt in via a consent manager.

Using marketing parameters (like utm-... in GA or Matomo) or the likes in any other tool still gives you clear marketing performance metrics in your analytics solution of choice, though.

And a lot of "pure" tracking tools would - at least currently - not fall under the opt in rules of thew GDPR. But the moment you link them with your advertising profiles (like in GA with the DoubleClick integration) your whole tracking setup also becomes opt in. So you would probably loose at least some share of your traffic in analytics and not be able to clearly do marketing analysis any more. At least not as exact as before.

I had clients loosing 80% of their traffic stats in analytics after shifting to opt in.
