From the article:

> If a customer contacts us asking for support, and we need to look up something in their account, typically we can just ask them for the email address on their account. But with “Hide My Email” that wouldn’t be easily possible, because the customer would have to figure out the privaterelay.appleid.com email address used for their account.

> Furthermore, if there are platforms where AnyList doesn’t support Sign in with Apple, like Android, and someone wants to log into their account, they’d have to know their privaterelay.appleid.com email address. (And that certainly won’t be easy to find if you no longer have an iOS device.) And then they’d have to create a password with us, since they wouldn’t be able to sign in using Sign in with Apple.

> Finally, for a service like AnyList, which is heavily focused on sharing lists with other people, the “Hide My Email” option greatly complicates collaboration. Typically, customers share a list by typing in the email address of the person they want to share with. If that person already has an account, the list is instantly shared. But with the “Hide My Email” option, your spouse or friends obviously won’t know your privaterelay.appleid.com email address, so when they enter your email address, our systems will believe that you don’t have an account. At that point, you’ll get an email from us asking you to create an account. If you accidentally create a new account, it won’t include the work you’ve done in your existing account created via Sign in with Apple. And if you manage not to make that mistake, then there would be a link between your email address and the account you created with Sign in with Apple, negating the value of hiding your email address.

I mostly don't disagree with you, but I think it's precisely the "illiberal mob[s]" you describe that are most threatening to open discourse. You may not be able to destroy ideas, but you can sure make it difficult for them to flourish.

An example from the left, this time: a year or two ago, an Asian woman (Amelie Wen Zhao is her name, IIRC) wrote a YA novel whose premise involved a) a completely imaginary society based more on an Asian cultural background than anything else, and b) human enslavement. She was attacked by a disgusting social media mob hailing from the YA "community", who used both covert (backchannels/"whispernet") and overt (calling her a racist on Twitter and whipping up a controversy, apparently without actually having read her book) means of attack, justified because (according to them) slavery as a topic/theme in literature is reserved for black authors. These attacks were so violent in their extremism that at the time I swore up and down they were mostly "Russian bots", and I still don't know.

Anyway, I'm not black, nor Asian^[1], but this just seems crazy to me. She did initially delay the publication of her book and could easily have canceled it entirely. This is what I mean by shouting down ideas. I (an amateur novelist) see a lot of forum posts from new writers asking what they can and cannot write about, worried about exactly what happened to Zhao—how many great stories have gone untold because of this insanity?

I think this effect manifests a bit differently on the conservative side—they simply refuse to acknowledge the truth or directly address arguments, and this codes as strength to people who share their ethic. I mean, I think extremists on the left do this too, but I feel like righties are more comfortable with this aspect of their nature, less concerned with virtue signaling and more with active expression of antisocial values (e.g. "rolling coal" on cyclists is funny, ha ha).

So, again, I do think we mostly agree. But how would you suggest we foster an environment where these illiberal mobs don't have power, without censoring/censuring them and their speech somehow? This seems really important, because by their nature these groups seem to be the most interested in gathering and holding on to power over the discourse.

^[1] I capitalize 'Asian' because it's derived from the name of a continent. I doubt I'll ever capitalize 'white', because why would I? and I'm not on board with 'Black' yet either, just from a linguistic point of view. I mean no disrespect by it, and I'd love to hear arguments as to why I should drop that capital B in there, because I'm sure this is going to get me in trouble more and more going forward. But so far (and yes, I've done some reading) I'm not convinced.
Seems to me companies finally feel compelled to do the right thing over the profitable thing... At least for now of course.
HDDs are also prone to silent bitrot, where it will simply return incorrect bytes for a sector, even without any smart errors. (Optical disks also bitrot; but so does HDDs).

This is usually a precursor to SMART errors happening in the near future, but unfortunately, it can still result in corrupted replication and corrupted backups; as your backups would be backing up the rotten (corrupt) data.

I've witnessed this happen on both Seagate and WD drives, on systems with ECC memory. I can only suspect this is due to HDD manufacturers wanting to reduce their error rates, and RMA rates: it may happen with the ECC bits in a sector is corrupt, making bitrot undetectable. Instead of giving an error (and being grounds for a RMA replacement), the HDD firmware may choose to return non-integrity-checked data; which would usually be correct but also could be corrupt.

It's why filesystems like ZFS and btrfs are so important.

My rough estimation of this, based on my own experiences and those on r/DataHoarder, suggests 1 hardware sector (4KB for most drives post 2011) will silently corrupt per 10TB year. Such corruption can be detected via checksumming disc systems like ZFS.

Usually, the whole sector is garbage, which is not indicative of cosmic ray bitflips.

External flash memory storage like USB sticks and SD cards fare far worse. In my own experience, silent corruption occurs more like 1 file per device, per 2-3 years; irrespective of the size of memory. I've had USB sticks and SD cards return bogus data without errors, so often. I only know because I checksum everything, otherwise I would have thought the artefacts in my videos or photos came with the source.

If, in 2020, you are not using ZFS or btrfs for long term archival, you are doing something wrong.

ext4, NTFS, APFS, etc may be tried and tested, but they have no checksumming, and that is a problem.

Personally I think Johnson just wants power and that Brexit was a useful tool for him to get it (at the expense of the country).

He isn’t all in on the on far right stuff in the same way as Farage is.

I think Johnson will follow through on give the Homg Kongers passports.

Of course if the CPP wants to buy him off he might go that.

I believe, but am not certain, that the change was made to help speed up Lua. As an embedded language, and a language that runs on embedded devices, performance is one of the key criteria of design that goes into the language. The compile-to-bytecode step may have seen some improvement with the change.

So instead of speculating on why the change happened, I've found a few bits of information around the limits that make me feel like it often simply won't be a problem.

There's some interesting discussion around the limits across various platforms here [0].

Whilst I'm not entirely clear on the motivation, even Lua running inside a browser under emcripten has a stack limit of over 4000, which is somewhat decent even for recursive functions.

Whereas on Linux you seem to be able to tweak a config when building and safely have it in the region of 20,000, and quite possibly more.

Even under a tight restriction, Lua seems to cope fairly well with it when recursing (the example crashed at 1758 recursions for a ulimit of 400).

Whilst Python has a terrible limit of 1000 for the default recursion limit which is somewhat comparable to this aggressive test, Python also has no tail call elimination - but Lua does.

I have a somewhat large Lua project (6000 lines of C, 10,000 lines of Lua) that is a recursive parser for a format that I passionately hate (think self-modifying LaTeX). With the default 5.4 limits it never hits a point where it crashes, though I had expected it to.

It's ironic that the convoluted Hong Kong "democracy" system was directly created by British colonial administration. And this system is largely responsible for limiting ability of Hong Kong citizens to control political power in their city and thus resist mainland power grabs.
Somehow, the fact that Britain seceded from the EU over one million foreigners, makes me skeptical that they'll offer citizenship to three million foreigners.
Perhaps the alternative explanation is not that they cannot do FizzBuzz at all, but choke under stress when they are asked to code a simplest thing in the interview setting?

Hi John. Wanted to share a story of appreciation!

I've actually got the Klutz friendship bracelet book sitting right next to me. My sister got it as a gift when we were kids (17 years ago) and I appropriated it when she didn't use it after a year.

That book not only gave me a lifetime hobby, but it also helped me create my first business at the age of 15. Helped me learn the lesson that if you deliver quality, you can sell a product at 20x the market rate. I would sell the totem pole bracelet designs at a premium to my friends who wanted it for their girlfriends. I'd sell chevrons and other diagonal based patterns to friends who wanted their school flag colours. Sold the latter at a premium too because the material I got with the Klutz book didn't fray after the first wash (helped me decide what materials to continue to purchase later on).

All this helped pay for several shows and sporting events I wanted to go to.

I continued to make bracelets for my girlfriend (now wife) and those ones are seated on the table in our bedroom.

That book created a ton of good memories. But it got left behind when I left home when I was getting married :( .

Recently I discovered it at home and the clip (rusty) still works. And now I'm teaching my 4 and a half year old son the art of friendship bracelets too.

All that from 1 book. Thank you for all the memories given and the memories to come.
> Citation? I don't think anything significant changed in that regard.

The limits for recursion have undertaken a significant change. (Though it might not be that concerning, if you see my sibling answer).

> As already discussed, Lua 5.4 is using a "non stackless" implementation. That means that it uses the C stack for recursion in Lua functions. Because of that, the maximum depth of recursion is much lower in 5.4 than it was in 5.3. - Roberto Ierusalimschy [0]

It is also worth noting that Hong Kong has a home-grown cultural industry (movies, songs, TV, etc) that pulled a fair share of weight, and this industry was also good at shaping the identity of future generations. Macao is much smaller and doesn't have anything comparable.

> As far as I can tell, a lot of Brexit was driven by ...

The problem with Brexit was the same with Trump--vague anger with no target.

A bunch of different groups ascribed, often contradictory, concrete actions and values to the inchoate phenomenon.

For Trump, this is embodied in "But he's not hurting the right people." Lots of people who voted for Trump wanted him to hurt their pet scapegoats, but the problem is that they were often the pet scapegoats for each other.

For Brexit, you could take any idea (unified market, for example) and find Brexiteers who were both for and against it. This was doomed to a crash-out as there was no actual concrete proposal that could satisfy any more than a minority of Brexiteers.

Ironically, revoking Brexit probably satisfies more voters than any concrete Brexit strategy.
> Why should I, as a credit card user, be forced to subsidize losses due to cash handling

How about the store gets to decide what to charge?

Most stores seem to believe that credit cards are more expensive, which is why they try to offer discounts for cash.

So the facts do not back you up.
> "Intranasal Light Therapy involves the simple process of clipping a small red light diode to the nose to illuminate the nasal cavity.

The more panacea it is, the more woo it probably is, eh?

[Edit: NB. Nitric Oxide is produced in the paranasal sinus cavities[1], and when inhaling through the nose it gets drawn into the body. It appears to be involved in arterial flexibility, increasing blood flow, decreasing blood pressure, immunity, neurotransmission, and relatedly treating erectile dysfunction. Humming appears to increase the production of Nitric Oxide[3]. Maybe the red light up the nose just makes you breathe through your nose?]

The Urban Council was the colonial British council that was completely elected by universal suffrage: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_Council

The system today only came about because of the handover.

Also note:

> The People's Republic of China government did not agree with reforms to the Legislative Council enacted in 1994. Therefore, it withdrew the previous so-called "through-train" policy that would have meant that members elected to the colonial Legislative Council would automatically become members of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region ("HKSAR") legislature. Instead, the Chinese government resolved to set up an alternative legislative council in preparation for the return of the sovereignty of Hong Kong from Britain to China. This body, the Provisional Legislative Council, was established by the Preparatory Committee for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) under the National People's Congress of the People's Republic of China in 1996.[6] The Provisional Legislative Council, in operation from 25 January 1997 to 30 June 1998, initially held its meetings in Shenzhen until 30 June 1997.

My recollection is the first time I used Sign In With Apple it forced me to choose (no default), and after that it defaulted to my last choice.

I expect 99% are obfuscating because that’s the sensible choice to make. Giving an app my real email should only be done if there’s an explicit need for this, such as being able to log in from non-Apple devices.
Are you saying you don't believe poverty has a direct link to mortality? That's been repeatedly proven across a wide range of different sources.

http://news.mit.edu/2016/study-rich-poor-huge-mortality-gap-...

Or are you saying that forcing businesses to close leading to layoffs, bankruptcies and foreclosures (which has already begun) don't cause poverty?

The scientists recommending lockdowns totally disregard these facts, among other health impacts of being forced to stay home (mental and physical).
Very productive individuals that don’t work as a team

I refuse to have those people on my team. One person who's twice as productive as everyone else sounds great, but if that person's work doesn't fit well and makes everyone else's work harder it always been a net loss in my experience. I'd prefer my team works well together than have some "brilliant loner" join it.
These are not concentrated to phone.

-Direct bank payments use your bank id. You can have bank id stored in the phone, but you can also use a personal keychain authenticator

-Klarna, Collector, etc use your social security number as the primary identification method

-Mobile payments like Swish and mobile pay use your mobile number, so it is linked to your phone

Of course you still need to have a bank account, but there are a lot of banks out there.
Isn't it the police's responsibility to prevent violent crime? Perhaps they just need more policing. How does a shop prevent a person from shooting somebody else in its carpark? Even then, won't they just shoot each other in the street outside the carpark instead? Without the shop, won't they shoot each other at home? It's hard to see that it's causing crime rather than just being the place where inevitable crime happens more often.

Poles are well thought of here. The meme of the hard working Polish builder is well known.

Your credit card may expire or get blocked, and you might be in hospital, or billing alert emails may simply go to your spam folder for 45 days. Your data will be irreversibly deleted by Backblaze.

There are LOTS of failure cases with any cloud provider, especially one with a crazy policy of deleting data in just 45 days.

There is at least 1 reddit post a month about how someone lost data with Backblaze. Their reddit support rep is never able to do anything about it, other than "sorry, we will take on board your feedback".

For comparison, if your Google Drive subscription lapses, Google stops you from uploading but will not delete your data.

> How come Indians succeed in tech? Why do we have so many Indians in tech?

Because of IIT, mostly, it's been a hugely successful program in the last 60 years, that coupled with a culture that considers tech work 'valuable'. Then some of those IIT grads go abroad and bring the 'tech work is good work' ethos with them and raise 'second generation' kids with similar principles in their (now non-indian) educational system.
TLDR: Dollar stores are the only targets, they are also deliberately kept soft targets by management, corporate management don't want to pay for security.

The article somehow absolves (as in doesn't mention) local municipal government of having somehow influence over the crime and security of an area. Just having poverty doesn't mean that a neighborhood should be dangerous and crime ridden.
You're thinking in terms of a steady-state. If a middle-man is able to do such a high markup then it means that yes we need more middle-men, because the increased competition will reduce their ability to have such markups. The need is proven by the high margin itself. If we add more factories and factory workers, on the other hand, end buyers won't gain squat since you're only addressing a tiny component of the cost.
>The Bill of Rights is a limitation on government not private entities and attempting to turn it into a club to force private entities to publish speech they find abhorrent is inappropriate policy in view of the principles embodied in the first amendment, which provides that individuals have the right to say something but not to force others to disseminate it (or even pay attention).

Wanted to touch on this because I think you're missing out on some socio-cultural nuance here. Yes, the Constitution is strictly a limitation on Government, but it is also expected that Citizen's of a Government also internalize the enshrined ethos of their highest laws.

To argue that the Constitution and Bill of Rights only effects the Government is to strongly demote the force and centrality of said document in Ameri an life. It may only say the Federal/State governments of the United States of America, but the truest message has always been one of the Supremacy of the liberties of the People over the systems that would oppress them. This is why you'll find there is so much resonance and vitriol inspired by the argument that private companies get a pass because they aren't the government. It doesn't matter. The infrastructures there, and it has woven itself tightly into the political fabric and discourse of the United States. I'd make the argument it's a Sixth Estate, of a central and sensitive enough nature that it should be looked at in the same ways we looked at the Press and Fairness Doctrine. Yes, that may have been overturned (and I'm honestly curious as to whether that overturning was truly beneficial), but damn, if you're going to sit by and let private individuals A/B test and gaslight your population in the name of private enterprise, to he'll with the consequences; and elevate whoever ends up in overall control of that edifice in particular... Well... I just don't think that's terribly kosher. Obligation increases to the 4th power of scale and reach. That's just how it seems to be. As an IT person, I internalized that valuelong ago. The bigger and more impactful the system's I end up working on, the more people are counting on me not to abuse my position of power and influence over the system.

I don't think I can buy into any suggestion that it should be any other way...
