I imagined as much. I'm 35 and had a few cavities, and have friends who've had loads of cavities and even teeth removed. But no cavities at 52, I never thought that effect was so extreme. I would like to understand what exactly in your genes is preventing cavities. Because from what I know cavities are largely bacteria attacking your teeth? So some people have better defense afainst those bacteria? How exactly does that work? I mean, microscopically.

People that sell used books professionally usually have them listed on amazon and ebay and the inventory is synced periodically. There must be some kind of automated inventory management system that they use, because pricing gets updated periodically also, based on the other available prices seemingly.
Now that you have mention that... Add some unquestionable 3-letter agencies, "national security concerns" and "spies and outside-funded agitators are everywhere", and we are getting quite closely to what I remember from end of 70s/beginning of 80s. sigh
Yeah - I'm pretty sure this is the real concern and verifying a phone number is reasonable trade-off.

I know this argument is often quickly dismissed on HN since people see child abuse or 'going dark' as an easy excuse for the government to leverage to get more control (and it has been used for this), but that doesn't mean the problem isn't serious or doesn't exist.

See this: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/09/28/us/child-sex-...

The resources fighting this are relatively small in comparison the scale of the problem: https://www.freethink.com/videos/child-exploitation

The people carrying out the abuse are sophisticated.

I have a friend that works at WhatsApp and their entire team is focused on trying to remove groups that exist to share child abuse imagery (via metadata since content is encrypted).

I fall on the side that secure encryption is critical for all of the reasons that technical people normally argue that it's critical and breaking it doesn't work/is a bad idea, but I also understand and empathize with the difficulty encryption by default causes for the organizations fighting this abuse.

That said, I have serious disagreements with Zoom unrelated to this particular e2ee issue (https://zalberico.com/essay/2020/06/13/zoom-in-china.html), I think they don't actually care about protecting the speech of their users or securing content from authoritarian governments. It's still good to avoid them for that reason alone.
You can use a ball point pen to pop open the zipper on any luggage.

I understand that the illusion of control is very helpful for nervous passengers, but your luggage is leaving your control and it's mostly nylon fabric and plastic.
Now I'm curious what result the OP was expecting... that's how bitwise NOT should work on (IEEE 754) floating-point numbers regardless of the language, isn't it?

(4.2).toString(2);
> "100.00110011001100110011001100110011001100110011001101"
(~4.2).toString(2);
> "-101"
(~~4.2).toString(2);
> "100"

Perhaps the initial NOT is supposed to maintain the bits after the point? I have to go look at the spec.

[Ok, looks like that not defined in the spec, and is a language-specific behavior: I have some homework now!]

Because the kinds of people who likes to pile on McArthur are mostly far-right people who are trying to discredit the positive things he did, especially his team's work on drafting the current Japanese constitution which established a democratic system with strong safeguards for human rights. It's not McArthur's own character that I'm taking issues with.

If they go through the trouble of stating it, it bugs them, so it is probably very effective.
I would argue that it is harder on us as it requires engagement and being a conscious customer.

Sadly, it is not really new. Companies will typically attempt to extract maximum amount of milk with minimum amount of moo. If they keep making mistakes, we need to keep making noise.

His "people" weren't getting murdered, obviously, so this is all inconvenient.
It isn't Kenneth Walker's responsibility to "make the situation better". It is the police's responsibility to not create an unnecessary life-threatening situation in the first place.

You're arguing that people should be deprived of the ability to defend themselves so that the police don't have to worry about the repercussions of trampling on their civil rights, and that somehow this will result in less trampling.

Ban no-knock raids (which have dubious legality anyway) and situations like this wouldn't happen. Better yet, end the war on drugs altogether. Kenneth Walker keeps his right to self-defense, Breonna Taylor lives, no officer gets shot, the constitution remains unviolated, and nobody goes to jail for victimless crimes. Everybody wins. It is astounding to me that people argue "disarm Kenneth Walker so the police can fuck up his (wrong) house stress-free" is a better solution than that.
I'm willing to trade paywalls for privacy. And paywalls are easy to get around, too, in this context. Just use a non-incognito tab to browse those sites.

Isn't it fair to say that this brings Zoom more-or-less exactly in line with the privacy vs law enforcement balance of a normal telephone call?

Writing from the UK, I'm reasonably sure that (a) all my phone calls are not recorded and (b) the phone number and duration of every call absolutely is recorded (this has to be shown on your phone bill!) and is available to the police when needed.

Speculating further, with the right court orders / warrants the normal E2E encryption algorithm for a particular user could be replaced with a "law enforcement decryptable" one and, hey presto, it's a Zoom equivalent of a proportionate wiretap that only covers future calls. Certainly a lot better than encrypting the calls of all users with such an algorithm "just in case".
Apple are bullies. By submitting your app you accept to be bullied. By using their apps you accept to be bullied. By buying their hardware you accept to be bullied. The rule they are breaking is not accepting their bullying.

That's why parents had to sue them to get refunds on fraudulent in-app purchases as children were scammed and manipulated into tapping buy buttons again and again. That's why Macbook Pro owners had to sue them again and again to address product defects. That's why they're being investigated in both the EU and US for abusing their platforms. They even officially had a rule for iOS developers that threatened against talking to the press.

If you run to the press and trash us, it never helps.

Researchers uncover misinformation campaign across Facebook and Reddit
Watching GMs play bullet can be fun, and Carlsen is crazy good, but in that clip Carlen's opponent simply blundered his queen in one. Based on how quickly the rook move was, it might have been a premove. Either way, the other guy just wasn't thinking.

Exploiting premoves in online chess is a common "dirty" way to win, such as when FM Lefong Hua plays Bh6 after his opponent plays g6.[1][2] Even Carlsen has been tricked by this, such as when GM Andrew Tang got him with it in a Lichess tournament.[3]

No, I don’t think privacy addresses as currently implemented addresses the problem. All browsers on my machine still share the same ipv6, whereas I think they should get unique ipv6 addresses if they want them.

Fingerprinting is more tractable to defeat by disabling all JS, for example.

Also, you seem to be saying that because NAT doesn’t provide much privacy, we shouldn’t care if we get even less privacy. I disagree with that.
Thanks, that's really helpful to know!

The author wrote a whole blog post based on 1 example of 1 snapshot – the top result for the snapshot is indeed from the `stripe-samples` org, but the other 4 examples visible in the author's screenshot – cocos-creator, puppeteer, Fugiman, uxsolutions – are not orgs run by major tech companies? And I'm an avid Github user but I've never read much about how the Trending page works, so I would've appreciated the author linking to even any page talking about its past algorithm, or its alleged recent change. Instead the entire post is just rambling by what the author seems to think is happening.

And, IMHO, the author seems to be naive that the past system – "most new stars in the last 24 hours across the whole site" – resembled some sort of objective meritocracy, when such a metric could be trivially manipulated, especially by established tech companies.

Looking at the trending page just now [0] for Javascript, I don't see a repo owned by a big company in the top 5. freecodeCamp/freeCodeCamp is #6 and facebook/react is #8.

Oh and look - you're downvoted for this opinion! Conservatives are not even hypocrites, this stuff is just talking points in an attempt to get one over on "the left".
I think that local storage of personal data ("data most important to you") will be a huge trend in the next few years for both homes and offices, especially if they can back up data to other trusted devices (in other homes and offices of trusted people). As always the problem is going to be usability - the AWS ecosystem is not friendly to non-techies.
Modern Japanese culture is considered to be part of "western society", for better or worse.
It might be sooner than you think. 8K screens are easily available, 8K 120Hz screens have had working development versions for a while, and slightly cutting the height to 3200 means that you can fit the data into a single displayport 1.4 connection, using graphics cards that are already out.
Is there any E2EE app that doesn't require verification? Whatsapp does. Even Signal requires a phone number.
But what's stopping the software from, say, having a backdoor that is only exposed under certain conditions? For example, if you are under an FBI investigation. I suppose you could automate the verification on a per-call basis. Unfortunately, every bit over the wire would need to be seen by a fool-proof algorithm to ensure your safety. Seems not tractable.
Robot is an excellent example: it originates with the Czech word robota, which means forced labour or slavery.

> Apps that operate across multiple platforms may allow users to access content, subscriptions, or features they have acquired in your app on other platforms or your web site, including consumable items in multiplatform games, provided those items are also available as in-app purchases within the app.

Basically Apple says if you're offering a multi-platform service - which this e-mail client clearly is - then you must provide the option to buy the service in the App using apple's in-app purchase system.

The table says CPUs, not vCPUs. Unless they're using single threaded single core processors, I think snc1.medium would equal either at least 4 vCPUs. I don't think they use the term vCPU for Snowcone so in reality it has zero vCPUs. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/instance...
I think Cisco bought webex largely because Cisco's big expensive conferencing hardware / software were under threat and they wanted in on what would replace it.

Cisco itself has time and again bought its way into things that aren't their core competency and they fumble around with them.

They bought Flip video for 590 million years ago, despite the fact that every person in Cisco's office had a smart phone in their pocket that would render it relatively useless...

I think video conferencing applications are often doomed to turn into behemoth messes for some reason that I can't figure out.

Somebody on the internet said life is pointless if we do not set ourselves these goals to aim for.

This feature feels pretty new, even though it was released in ES5, and had some more fixes in ES6. It's useful for having immutable data, which was all the hype when React and Redux were introduced.
The article is dated 2010. The App Store was opened in 2008. The iPhone was released in 2007.

Flash was not present from the start, and the intention at release in 2007 was that web applications would be how 3rd party developers developed for the iPhone. The decision not to have Flash on the iPhone in 2007 cannot possibly have been to drive downloads from an App Store that did not exist.
Giving equal opinions to those filled with hate has gotten us to this point.
Why trust any company that put out the initial policy in the first place?

Have they had a fundamental turnover in management, indicating a new pro-privacy culture? Did they move their development out from under the thumb of the CCP?

No and no?

If they weren’t trustworthy before, they certainly aren’t now.
> I feel the weight of an invisible black committee that I represent and speak on behalf of.

I am sorry that we do this, as I now know how it makes you feel. For some perspective, many white people do this because they don't see the world from your vantage point. It would be akin to me being blind and you being able to see and me asking you what does a tree look like. We think it is an innocent question, one that only you will have perspective on and therefor we don't see the harm that it actually does. We (not all of us) see it as akin to asking a guy who can see for his personal perspective, not as asking a guy to speak for all people that can see.

I have a good friend who just so happens to be black (I know that's a white thing to say but I don't know how else to express it) and he is frank with me and helped me to understand why this question is so alienating and degrading.

I regret that I have been guilty of this and appreciate that I have a friend that we have very little racial barriers due to our friendship so he can check me when I do asshole things not realizing it. Apparently passing cop cars with a black friend in the car is also an asshole move, I learned that one as well so I am guilty of a few, but at least I gain perspective.
China, IMO, will never dominate anything. Too many rivals at the doorstep, including India. Even though now China looks a lot better on paper (GDP /military spending wise,) India is not going anywhere but up, and USA can give India the tech edge needed to go toe to toe with China. Yes, I know China is allied with Pakistan and NK, but then Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam etc etc have zero interest in a superpower called China.
Apple does have a rule about providing an in-app purchase option, although I believe they don’t require that be the only way to make the purchase.

I think Apple tries to distinguish between apps that provide access to content which you subscribe to (so-called “Reader” apps) versus apps where the service is the app itself.

If the service is the app itself, then they want all apps to be sold directly through the App Store. If the app is a Reader for a content subscription, then they allow selling the content subscription separately.

I’m not sure it’s evenly enforced, but I think that’s their intent and stated policy which they are trying to enforce here.
As a leader, it is sometimes difficult to admit that you failed, even if it wasn't your fault.

Isn't 4k on a laptop a significant power drain? And isn't the point of "stopping" at Retina resolution that the human eye can't tell the difference between Retina and higher resolutions like 4K at typical laptop screen size and viewing distance?
I worked on a new internal PKI, nothing as high stakes as banking, but we did have a security consultant who had been around the block. We did, of course, purchase such HSMs and design a signing ceremony. But in his opinion it was also normal and expected to keep a decryptable copy of the private key, in case of e.g. changing HSM vendors. It would be even less accessible, but it would exist.
The person saying transparency wasn't a good thing was saying that because transparency allows for more efficient lobbying, it has resulted in a more easily gamed system.

I tend to follow the 'make it work, then make it pretty' school of thinking but it really depends on what you're building - since you've mentioned React, can we assume you're looking for some kind of web solution?

I've felt as you're describing before. May I make a suggestion? Get out of the house. Get away from the kids, get away from the wife. Be alone with your thoughts without distraction. Talk to yourself out loud. Go for a long walk at dusk, watch the sunset and walk home. I cannot promise that you'll find the meaning to life, but when faced with a similar situation, these types of walks have helped me chart out my next steps.

These numbers are readily available in their financial statements (Wal Mart doesn't separate out Wal Mart Canada's numbers - I happen to be in the industry.

That’s kind of my whole point - Canada is different. I read all sorts of accounts from Americans about how e-commerce and online retail in the US has matured and you can reliably order goods from lots of big retailers online and expect to get your goods on a predictable date. And that just hasn’t happened in Canada yet. Online retail here is still comprehensively awful. Amazon is the only online option that delivers predictably and on time.

Just within the last two years I’ve ordered from both Walmart and Home Depot and both of them have sat on my order for 2 weeks before actually shipping it. I’ve had Home Depots delivery courier actually throw a box of light bulbs across my yard onto my concrete steps. And yes, that CDN tire incident was about 2 years ago. IKEA wants $20 shipping to send me a box of screws. The only bright spot in any of this is grocery delivery as you point out. But even then, Save-on’s payment processor has glitched my orders on two occasions.

The Canadian e-commerce experience is not some backwater that you proclaim it to be.

It’s still about 10 years behind the US. I still see too many retailers who are basically charging what their US equivalents are + the shipping cost difference to traverse the CBSA moat. The big retailers here can’t get it together and the small retailers are still just arbitraging Canada’s weird retail import tariffs. Super high shipping costs, bungled and lost orders, and unpredictable and late delivery is still the norm outside Amazon, or at least it was in 2019. Hard to say now with c19.
I did Startup School in 2018 and was one of the inaugural grant winners.

The program was extremely helpful for getting me through to the launch. My product is a moonshot sold to enterprises, so it took an enormous amount of work upfront to get something into users' hands.

The accountability of a cohort was critical for the lonely days of coding something that is both ambiguous and ambitious. Also, constantly being forced to explain my product really helped me hone my message and sales pitch.

I am still friends with some of the people I met back then. I seriously recommend this program to anyone who is starting out.
