Meta: what's with the top-level comments in here? A lot of serious tangents, praising or digging at Patagonia's practices, instead of focusing on the subject at hand. Trying to signal moral standing of the party in question, so people can decide how to respond to this action?
"HMB" is a typo, it is the same HBM.

And yeah.. honestly I'm surprised AMD didn't do the HBM-CPU thing first. An HBM2-powered EPYC would've been an amazing product.
I think it could be as simple as interpretation of state guidelines. My state is recommending workers work remote if possible. If your company allowed you to work remotely before, your employer has demonstrated that it's possible. So if you are forced to endanger yourself against state health and safety guidance, that should be enough.
That is just what they did [1].

So I looked up their policy, and you seem to be correct there. Twitter defines violence as towards other individuals or groups. https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/twitter-rules

However, if users are encouraging or telling others to break the law, that is also against Twitters policies.

> You may not use our service for any unlawful purpose or in furtherance of illegal activities.

Encouraging or inciting others to break the law is illegal.

Although it's on the illegal goods page, I think this could still be against their policy.

Probably as they already dropped the X before. It is macOS
They did. In the demo in the About This Mac window it said macOS 11.
I've worked on anti-ad-blocking tech previously. Safari's content blocking is the weakest on the market and can be easily circumvented.

And I'm an iOS user and the ads on the websites I visit are unbearable and have tried many content blockers. Nothing worked until I switched to DNS blocking. Not perfect but better than what Safari can do.
Apple did bump the version to 11.

> Is everyone insane or is there something I'm missing.

in a sense, much of the world is insane because they pursue narcissistic types of social status.

but I also do think this is just fun - putting aside the idea of getting a cameo as a status symbol, it's just fun to get a message from some public figure whose work you admire.
@dang I saw a number of 'github is down' posts being flagged almost immediately (including this one). Is there a guideline against posting these kinds of messages?
If someone had a cardboard cutout of a piece of amazing new tech, that they were pretending was the real thing, would you think "ooh, nice supercomputer" (or whatever), or would you think "that's a bit insane"?

I think convincing yourself a picture of a fridge full of food is as good as an actual fridge full of food is objectively a mental problem - and that this is somewhat an analogue of that.
> The project’s signup form asks for people to put in all of the email addresses they use online to help identify how many platforms are currently profiting off of an individual’s data. It also asks for users to provide their PayPal information so any money that could eventually be gained from platforms could be deposited directly into a user’s account.

This seems like a wild thing to be asking for at this stage in the project.
Ask HN: macOS Safari Support for PWAs?
Does anyone know if MacOS Safari supports or is planning to support PWA "Add to Homescreen" behavior like iOS Safari?
That’s because it’s against Twitter’s “Hateful Conduct Policy” which users agree to follow in order to use the site.

And it isn’t just “misgendering” someone that will get your account banned, it’s deliberately misgendering someone so as to bully them. Everyone on the internet has accidentally been referred to using the wrong pronouns but innocent mistakes happen when people communicate anonymously. Innocent mistakes won’t get your account banned.

Deliberately misgendering someone is also a violation of Facebook’s Community Standards. Do you consider Facebook to be “objectively biased against conservatives” as well?
Apple has a chance here to go all in and make Apple ARM platform what Intel is today and standard ARM wasn't.

If they came out and said here's an open Mac platform with the ability to run macOS, Windows or Linux , open hardware specs, open source drivers and the ability to install whatever you want wherever you want it, I think most people will back it even though initially it'll be painful from a performance and transition standpoint.

But knowing Apple of the recent past or just be more and more closed, limited and Apple or nothing deal.
I mean, 'beautiful new design' is subjective here. I know it's the headline - but it's a press release. This is an ad.
First of all we should distinguish that while Golden Ticket is potentially viable on other Kerberos and Kerberos-style systems Pass-the-hash is a security vulnerability per se and outside of Windows it would just be given a CVE number and you'd be expected to fix it not write that "Mitigation is not practical" and act as though it isn't your fault.

In fact it has been given a CVE number and fixed in obscure systems where it was done, only Windows gets to shrug and say it's hard so we won't fix it. e.g. CVE-2005-3435

In Windows every user - anywhere in the world not just within one organisation - with the same password has the same hash. Worse than a PHP app from the turn of the century their most sophisticated password hash scheme is MD4(password). This makes the mistake that results in Pass-the-hash almost irresistible.

Because a Linux system uses salted (and pessimised) hashes, it is not tempting to try to authenticate remote hashes because you're going to have to build a multi-step protocol, passing parameters to the client so it can perform the hash. You'd probably instead look at existing protocols and discover SRP (or in the modern era any sensible asymmetric PAKE). This immediately shows you a better path forwards with no Pass-the-hash.

But because Windows has this constant 16-byte hash it is tempting to use that for authentication. You can do a bit of hand waving to avoid confronting how insecure the result is:

‣ Bad guys can't possibly know this 128-bit value because it's MD4(password) and there's no way to find that without knowing password. Therefore we only need to check that the 128-bit value is correct and we've authenticated the user.

‣ Storing the 128-bit value locally is fine because it's MD4(password) and you can't reverse MD4 to get the password back so it's not a secret.

Only when you see these arguments next to each other it is obvious this is absurd. So long as they're on different pages of a document, or preferably made in entirely separate discussions at Microsoft, the mistake is unnoticed.

You've engaged in the same equivocation that Microsoft uses by adding "or Golden Ticket attacks". Microsoft documents about Pass-the-hash routinely argue that this is just the same as any other stolen credentials attack, so it's not Windows at fault nobody could be expected to do better. This is definitively wrong and we need to call them out on it.
I know he doesnt seem to be popular here, but Taleb seems to be one of the most important thinkers of our time. The fact that he is such a dick in public turns a lot of people off but it seems most of his core ideas are salient.

There's still a huge difference in TDP. The iPad probably has a TDP of maybe 10 watts? The Mac Mini Intel CPU's have 65 watt TDP's. They can deliver more power and cooling to the 12Z than in an iPad and it should result in much higher performance.
I wish it was MacOS 16. Just drop the 10. part.
They have an API that lets you block some static rules. It's way better than nothing but it is not a true substitute for the kinds of things and dynamic filtering you can (for now) currently do in web browser extensions. It also appears to have a rather low rule limit.
> A low caste guy was shot dead last week for entering a temple.

Check the last paragraph in that news:

> However, SP Amroha Vipin Tada denied the father’s charges saying that the initial report suggests of a dispute between Vikas’s elder brother and the accused over money. The police maintained that the murder was the result of an altercation between the two accused, and the elder brother of the deceased, over a sum of Rs 5,000.

As I also found that the president related news you share was also proven false. I can only tell you again that not everything you are reading these days is a truth. If you keep a certain prospective, the world will appear exactly like that to you whichever way you see because your mind looks for and rejoices in validation of its beliefs/opinions.
There is low chance to find a peer in I2P for some already niche material. Tor with clearnet exit nodes is better although still less peers due to NAT.
That seems exaggerated - the 'unnecessary surgeries' are biopsies, right? Hardly a life-threatening procedure. That sounds hyperbolic too?

This 20-year-old study shows that mammograms are matched by excellent screening programs in Canada. Is that the choice being made today? The screening programs in Canada were discontinued. Is the real choice now between mammograms and nothing? I didn't understand that development at all.

In the last 10 years, there's been a decrease in mortality by 25% or better. That's the good news today. And its all attributed to early detection. Clearly the most important factor in survival.

I think 20-year-old data is not the greatest basis for an informed choice on this subject. E.g. MRIs became common after that study was over. The world has changed, a lot, since then.
I think the 5700 series is eGPU compatible on macOS.

These fail because Apple is orders of magnitude away from Nvidia and AMD in performance, plus this is a chip with a very limited TDP. I think they will fall a bit slower than current AMD APUs.
The Mac that I originally grew to love did not represent that lame compromise you're describing.

It's strength and beauty was in the apps tailored entirely to the platform, not cheap tacky ports because the developer couldn't be bothered.
Transpiling (as much as I hate that word, because the more you know about compilers, the more meaningless it is), is about source to source translations, not binary translation.

And they have a first pass AOT, with a JIT backup from the sounds of it to support JITs like browsers, node, and java.
It's was a Pro monitor, but they explicitly said that the demos actually ran on the developer transition kit powered by an A12Z...
No, it's not a proprietary extension, it's Arm's Scalable Vector Extension!
They were all paid in full because their contracts were bound to the Mixer platform specifically.
Transition = all products have an option within 2 years

Also means == some products (13" mbp) migrate fully and are Apple only, And some don't (Mac Pro) and have both options.

Just reading the tea leaves.
They said they are planning on making a family of SoC for the Mac though, I doubt we are going to see iPad-level processors in the actual ARM-based Macs they will sell.
The Trump administration does realize that this will make a lot of IT jobs much harder to fill, and according to the Law of Supply and Demand, much higher paid, right?

IT jobs don't have a lot in the way of formal licensing or certification requirements, so jobs can be filled, but the flip side of that is that everyone is used to letting go IT workers that can't do the jobs, or at least can't learn to do the jobs. To my mind, that means that salaries will go up pretty quickly unless random off-the-street hires can actually do the work.
They did not mention windows emulation, only Linux/docker.
> Apple is roughly one chip cycle ahead on perfomance/watt from any other manufacturer.

Eh? This is a flimsy claim. AMD's performance/watt is extremely impressive right now. Apple is ahead of Intel for sure, but Intel isn't the only other player here.

> So, I’m predicting an MBP 13 - 16 range with an extra three hours of battery life+, and 20-30% faster. Alternately a Macbook Air type with 16 hours plus strong 4k performance.

A slightly more efficient CPU doesn't get you this. You need significant efficiency improvements across a variety of aspects, including those Apple has already been optimizing for years like the display.
I support it, to be honest.

Those threads always devolve into low quality arguments and spam. With occasional marketing effort for other services.
This is so cringeworthy though
Except they did introduce new features like the stacks view.
OH thank you. I completely miss that.
Might not have a choice. When OS/2 added Windows app support it killed actual OS/2 apps. Why bother supporting the Mac when you could just make an iPad app and get both markets at once.
When its running on a iPad pro chip? It's pretty impressive., considering Microsoft x86 emulation on the Surface pro X is abysmal.
I've inquired about this and there are some layers at work that may be oversimplified when kids restate this idea as "acting white".

I understand there is an issue in internalizing the 2 main versions (Southern spin vs Northern spin) of 'whitewashed history' in the US. An objective viewer would consider them very sanitized, misleading, and often propagandized versions of history that are somewhat benign to people of European descent but toxic to non-white people that mainline it. It leads to a misunderstanding of how the world really works, came to be, and minimizes the role criminality played in the whole exercise, especially due its exclusion of unbiased economic history.

I think certain populations in the US have the unfortunate experience of being miseducated about who they are and why they are where they are, then spend the rest of their lives (if curious) unlearning/re-educating themselves about how the world really works and filling the gaps that were conveniently excluded from our prevailing historical narratives.

The mistrust of the information in some areas of study is based on intuition that isn't completely wrong.

"Miseducation of the Negro" touches on some of these topics though it is not an exhaustive exploration. We've learned a lot more about the layers of misinformation since 1933 (publish date), it would be interesting to read an updated version.

There's gonna be a weird moment soon where developing docker images for Armbian hardware (Pi and friends) is going to be more straightforward on a Mac than developing docker images for Intel servers.
A lot of devs use Macs and run Linux x86 virtual machines in them. I guess this spells the end of Apple's business in that sector?
pretty credible arguments that the policies were being abused

Either you're getting your work done or you're not.

Any other way of measuring abuse is management malpractice.
I feel the change that has happened is that managers _had to_ figure out managing remote workers.

Before when remote work was not 'working' you could fall back to in person. That is not currently an option. So management has been forced to figure it out.

How hard would it be for apple to also fabricate its own chips one day?

Would it ever make sense for apple to do that?
I believe the first Intel product announced was the [EDIT: iMac - see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMac_(Intel-based)#1st_generat...] MacBook Pro at Macworld in January of 2006, long after it was announced at WWDC in 2005.

I think concerns about how Apple will handle the transition can generally be addressed by the relatively smooth transition from PPC to Intel. Apple has literally done this before.
They couldn't even execute on Edison. Intel will be gone in 20 years. They couldn't manage their way out of a bag.
This website makes me slightly nauseous when viewed on my macbook pro. I had to look at it with my phone to get rid of the jerky animations
Wouldn't expect much from Apple. The App Clips they announced today would have been perfect candidates for PWA's but instead they are going in the direction of mini-apps. That very well reflects their lack of interest in PWA.
AFAIK back then they let you exchange the $999 kit for a normal iMac at no charge.
Now, you must return the kit and that's it. $499 just for using it for a year.
It's hard to see how they are "interesting" in the sense of the guidelines. a post-mortem about what broke might be, but the pure fact that a service is down again? This one here at least has some analysis on what's going on.
You’re opposed to choice because..?
Apple has been pushing Metal for a few years. I don’t think any additional effort will be spent on OpenGL.
Not GP, but this is an informative piece: https://amp.ft.com/content/f3ee37e0-b086-11ea-a4b6-31f1eedf7...

Specifically on major data points, FT writes “if foreigners want to hold American liquid assets in vast amounts, the US must run a huge external deficit, unless its private sector wishes to load itself up with riskier foreign assets on a comparable scale“ which doesn’t seem very sustainable in longer term. (We’re operating in the current system effectively since 1971.)

(The piece further mentions the possibility of the current system “destroying the open world economy” which does indeed seem a bit gloomy.)

Approaches to launching new products in existing businesses?
What's your experience launching new products in established businesses?

I've tried this twice in two different companies. It starts out great. The intention is to treat it as a separate team with its own tools and process, but it never works out.
You end up using the same dev tools, marketing, and sales process. You get bogged down by the primary business, and ultimately fail to innovate. In one experience I had, just getting a website up to validate the idea with prospects took months..

What is your experience? Any hacks to increase the success rate?
Gentle reminder that the USA isn't the only jurisdiction. In countries without fair use, for example, this wouldn't even be able to be applied.

Is the target to match the performance of ten year old hardware? Then sure, that's matched. But it's not impressive. AMD FX CPUs have better performance than that, by a mile.
They're signaling the death of Mac OS X.
I was really hoping they'd take some time to address Catalina's glaring issues — its slowness, bugginess, just general sloppiness — and instead they did the opposite.

Honestly, every time Apple has done anything with the Mac the past couple of years, they've screwed it up. The infamous keyboards that they doubled-down and then tripled-down upon (I have personally had five keyboard replacements). The way Catalina sends the hash of every binary you run to Apple. The built-in Catalyst apps that look ugly and feel out-of-place. The Touch Bar which I still, years later, inadvertently activate several times a day (I've had to remove all the buttons on the right), which they addressed by making mandatory. The recurring bugs and kernel panics that have been lying around for years, unfixed.

I have the least confidence in Apple I've ever had. I'm afraid to run Big Sur, not because it changes things, but because it's Apple who are behind it.
How does burning down someone's business cause them no harm? You are implicitly making the claim that anyone who owns or leases a building for their business is rolling in excess money, which is incredibly ignorant, naïve, uncharitable, and untrue; especially when many of the businesses called for burning were locally owned, and many minority owned. That kind of thinking is pretty hideously warped, and you'd do well to rethink your worldview to avoid such malice.
yep, also noticed that. At first I thought I've messed something up with pihole. But looks like it's something bigger...

https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/github
What do you mean by "continue to be supported"? Your 2019 MBP will only need new drivers for Windows if Microsoft decides to change things. Otherwise, Apple doesn't have to do anything at all for your current MBP to continue to be able to run Windows. While Windows may be something of a moving target, your particular machine isn't.

1. Sure we do, they spell it out very clearly here:

2. I beg to differ. A completely de-googled phone is not only extremely difficult to achieve but about as useful as a 2009 blackberry. Yeah it runs and will maybe let you check your email with 5+ hours of work just to get push notifications running but it is so completely impractical for anyone that doesn’t want to devote serious amounts of time to it. With Apple you a good balance of privacy and utility imo.
I do not get the "not exactly ARM" bit. The chip has a lot of cores that execute standard ARM code with SVE instructions mixed in. You can download the manual for the SVE from ARM's website. Following a quick search I also see that GCC has a flag for generating SVE instructions.
Global Foundries New York fab (Fab 8), from Wikipedia:

Technology: 28 nm and 14 nm. 7 nm planned. However, in August 2018, GlobalFoundries made the decision to suspend 7 nm development and planned production, citing the unaffordable costs to outfit Fab 8 for 7 nm production. GlobalFoundries held open the possibility of resuming 7 nm operations in the future if additional resources could be secured.

So, not a state of the art fab. Couldn't afford to keep up.
