That's that's an argument for security, less so for privacy, in the sense that the surface area may yield points for exploits.

But the payment stack is also very complicated. It touches everything from the secure enclave up to the Merchant over the network.

And if accessing the USB stack is bad, then doing it from a native app is too bad. The Web execution environment is more isolated and abstracted than the native app SDK, see https://blog.zimperium.com/dr-jekyll-and-mr-hide-how-covert-... for example of live malware getting past the app review process and accessing geo location and other things to fingerprint.

My computer has never, in at least the last 15 years, been infested by usage of Web APIs. Since the time of Firefox and Chrome taking over from IE4-IE6, I have been free of exploits. It's fair to say that the web is used by billions of people, and for the most part, large scale carnage using browser vectors has been limited.

I don't think your conclusions are based on actual security researcher threat modeling, but more about an implicit bias against Web apps and towards native.
>The logical conclusion is that you should pay yourself to get rid of the motorcycle

If I had a motorcycle, giving it up would be the payment. Hence, I could pass the value on to someone else who assisted me, in theory.

If I "paid myself" I guess that would mean I could choose something else risky to do with my "balance" of micromorts.
If I understand this right, they've built a 'cartoonify' filter to convert real-world images into cartoon format, and then trained a neural net based on these image pairs? If so, what does the neural net add?
Also other login providers haven't done massively stupid things like not authenticate the actual email address when issuing tokens... like common who in their right mind would want to adopt a new service with a piss poor security reputation for a critical security sensitive leg of their stack?!
people aren't defending these things. they are defending this 'slippery slope' idea that if you give companies the power and support them in banning content based off of ideological stuff, then you risk that 'bannable' content threshold slowly growing.

it's literally a straw man to imply people are focused on individuals in this situation, they are just worried about precedent and the future.
It's for the same reasons that amending constitutions require more buy-in than just changing laws.

You can establish things that you think are "very important" in a society, and make it much harder to change than other things.

Of course, if everyone thinks you're the king of France, you're the king of France. But establishing rules to counterbalance the state's monopoly on violence and making those be pretty strong protections within the framework of laws helps establish the norms!

Everything has an asterisk in these kinds of conversation. I think most people can understand the relative difference in values between "people should have a right to assemble and speak their mind" and "people should be able to park on the left side of this street on weekends"
It is kind of crazy that anyone can buy my purchase history... Are there any way around this besides using cash?
Isn’t it about time we moved away from the one-charger-per-device model? For the last few devices I’ve bought, I’ve only charged them from a multi-port Anker USB hub and the dedicated chargers have remained unused in the packaging. Which is great for resale value but bad for e-waste!
Imagine if all high school students got trained on how to start an IV.
But I doubt any due process was done before the ban, if any and concrete proof of wrongdoing is established before doing such things. Most of the bigger app developers will surely goto court.

If any this sounds like a propaganda move aimed at giving the people a feeling that the government has done something about it.

Some of these may relaunched as a web service, some may relaunch under a different branding, there are any number of things the app makers can legitimately do to skirt around this.

Using summary executive powers to do such is a rather undemocratic move, and which time and again this Indian Government has indicated it has no qualms of using.

This is a politically motivated move, where as it should not be. If there was established wrongdoing then ban the apps, not because it is politically convenient to do it.
Uhhh, “any field” that isn’t a humanities field maybe.
> Yes, it's true that SF/NY have horrific governance, regulatory policies, taxes, and so forth (which cause high rents)

No, it's true that SF and NY have lots of people willing to spend lots of money in order to live there instead of elsewhere, largely because they expect to be able to make more money there, which causes high rents.
Given the amount of state violence used against left wing protestors over the last month and the number of active political leaders championing that violence... I really don't agree. Leftist speech is silenced with guns. And the free speech supporters sit silent.
Korea, generally no. Taiwan, sometimes.
> What edge?

The destruction of liberty the OP mentioned.

The Merriam-Webster dictionary, corporate policies, and by critical theorists.

> Who's intention? The 'racism redefiners'? If they're a large group, how can they all have a unified intention? Is there some manifesto you can point to, or something that exposes the 'intention'?

Critical theorist leftists who started the racism hysteria.

Yeah, that's a better term for it.

> do you have any evidence to show that this is a commonly held view?

We're in the middle of a culture war that's been going on for years. Controversy means there are many people on both sides.

> Let's leave aside that the racist roots behind many political groups (e.g. Klan, Nazis) go back decades if not way into the 19th century.

We're not talking about the Klan or the Nazis, both of those groups are effectively defunct. We're talking about modern white supremacists, which are a different breed.

> Your argument here is like saying that a rise in domestic violence is being spurred by feminist ideas.

My belief is that people tend to react predictably to certain ways of being treated, that includes the adoption of extremism. Where do you think extremism comes from?

> No one is making racists more extreme.

That claim is patently false, racial tensions have risen DRAMATICALLY over the past decade. Stefan Molyneux might be an example, he started off as a sort of libertarian philosopher and slowly adopted more and more extreme views as of the past few years.

> Firstly, to consolidate power, the far-leftists would need to be in power.

The dominant culture is far-left and controls academia, mainstream news, the major tech corporations, and many (most?) Democratic representatives.

I haven't replied to your other assertions because you seem to be reading a lot into who I am and what I stand for that you have no way of realistically knowing.
> According to steam 10.9% of users are running at that resolution.

Which is why right after the part you quoted and apparently ignored, i wrote "and the second most common on gaming PCs according to Steam". Gaming PCs are more likely to have higher resolution, but not every PC is a gaming PC. Statcounter.com has 1366x768 above 1920x1080.

Also 10.9% of Steam's user is still around 10 million active users, which is a lot of people.

> but that seems like a uniquely bad choice

That is your opinion, i find it a great choice and i like my monitor.

I have an actual GPU nowadays.

I do not think you are in position to tell anyone give up anything.

> and get a screen worth using

I find my monitor worth using.

> instead of picking a compromise that is the worst of both worlds.

That is your opinion that i disagree with.

> Regarding scalling 800x600 scales evenly to a 1920x1200 with black bars on the sides.

1920x1200 is not 16:9 which will cause either black bars or stretched UIs on actually new titles and videos, i wouldn't personally buy a non-16:9 monitor these days. Also 800x600 looks fine on my 1366x768 monitor centered (even if a bit smaller image) with 1:1 pixels.

> 1152×900 scales to 1600x900 in the same fashion.

Pretty much no game where you have to use fixed resolutions (mostly 2D games) uses 1152x900. Earlier 3D games work at 1366x768 by centering 1024x768 but almost all of them have workarounds to work at higher 4:3 resolutions (when i used a 1920x1080 monitor i often ran older 3D games at 1440x1080).

> You can also run the game in a window and avoid having to match it up evenly.

If i had Windows 7 or using Linux, perhaps, but with Windows 8+ and the forced compositor that adds input lag i avoid running games in a window.

> I think your eyesight is bad.

Yes it is, which is why i sit close to the monitor so i can see stuff (and the reason i prefer smaller monitors). But i can clearly see the pixels, which is what i mean with "sharp" here.

> Best in class: 191

Subjective and it has all the issues with scaling and blurring i mentioned in my last message.
I'd personally for for the method used by Blizzard and Discord where a randomly generated ID is the actual unique value, while the username is just a display setting.
It's still used in binary groups to this day. It's too bad that it never really was used in email and most email clients didn't support it.

IIRC, NNTP, SMTP, and I believe IMAP servers do not treat any character as significant from a protocol standpoint other than ascii NULL (0x00), CR (0x0D), LF (0x0A), and . (0X2E) (the last only when at the beginning of a line). Those are the only 4 characters that yEnc escapes for encoding purposes.
Im still in the jboss world. Though we've solved the problem, we just don't ever deploy more than 1 app to a jboss app server. I'm very much ringing the spring bell around my work. but the cutover of all our legacy stuff that is running fine will be decades.
Dotnet-Monitor, an Experimental Tool
Things may differ from person to person depending on when they created their Apple account(s).

At first, before they had cloud services, you created an Apple account to purchase things from the iTunes store. You could use any email address.

Then they created MobileMe (which was rebranded to .Mac), and that came with an email address @mac.com. (I believe there were a couple of other domains you could choose instead, but don't remember what they were).

That was eventually discontinued, replaced with iCloud, and .Mac accounts were migrated.

Somewhere in all there Apple loosened requirements so that you could use an outside email address as your cloud ID, and made it so a cloud account could could also work as an iTunes account.

For those who created their accounts after that point, it's all sane. Create your Apple account using your outside email address if you want, or using an Apple provided address if you prefer, and then that one account can be used for all your Apple stuff. Buying music, buying or renting video, buying apps, and the cloud stuff.

For those of us who created our accounts before all that, we ended up with an account using our outside address which has our music, video, and app purchases on it, and an account using our @mac.com address that has calendars, photos, and the like.

When they changed it so all Apple accounts could be used for everything, it got even more annoying for us. Whenever we'd see some dialog asking us to sign in to our Apple account, we'd have to guess if it wanted our music/video/app account or our cloud account. If we guessed wrong, we could end up accidentally purchasing apps or media on the cloud account.

Apple does not provide any way to transfer purchases between your accounts, so if you end up with media or app purchases on both accounts there is no way to consolidate other than purchasing duplicates.

If you are willing to do that, or if you have avoided duplicate purchases, you can kind of manually consolidate accounts. You can export calendars, contacts, and the like from your original cloud account, and import them into your original iTunes account. Same for photos, online disk space, and anything else you have on the original cloud account.

Once you've got it all in the original iTunes account, delete everything from the original cloud account, and then just make sure to never again sign into that account. Any time you see the Apple account login dialog, give the original iTunes account.
> So there's nothing specifically against Apple, despite the title seeming to imply it

From the article...

> In addition to these customer experience problems that are common to all third-party login systems, Sign in with Apple introduces several more that are unique to it.
> And the free speech supporters sit silent.

Many of the people who raise objections based on “free speech” every time a private entity declines to actively participate in amplifying right wing speech have been actively cheering the events you describe, and arguing they need to be intensified, not sitting silent.
Wear a mask, please.
I dunno about that. I literally choose it every time, because why not? It's my default.
And if you create an account accidentally, there’s often no way to undo that.

Next, if you don’t add a second-factor with to it, it becomes a ticking countdown until the account is compromised.
Google Uighurs. Being a minority in China means being subject to genocide.
But just to play devils advocate: It is highly likely that China have spies in Google and Facebook and probably USA have spies in Tik Tok and other big Chinese companies so both China and USA no matter what sw you use already know everything about you.
My best argument would be: We can't allow that authoritarian country become tech superior because that will make China economically stronger than USA and than politically which will result in destruction of democracies around world.
"Meant to" doesn't mean "is", and even if 99% of people do what they are "meant to", that still leaves millions of people doing it the "wrong" way.
Right? Such a fantastic way to read mail. Just keyboard and the text.
Sorry to tell you but that's not true. Literally the top Google result says the contrary:

> "Out of the various fees, interest charges are the primary source of revenue." [1]

Yes, credit cards charge a large transaction fee, but wind up refunding a large portion of that back to the consumer in the form of rewards, so these days that's not the main source of profit.

[1] https://www.valuepenguin.com/how-do-credit-card-companies-ma....
Does that also pertain to drug regulations? Because the US certainly restricts a whole hell of a lot of people based on that.
People seem to be missing the point that Chinese Apps are literally spying on their users. iOS just released a patch to keep TikTok from scraping users' clipboards.
This is my experience as well. I was fully liberal until election night. The veil was lifted watching CNN anchors react to their preferred candidate losing. I started digging and wound up at T_D. My experience there has been polar opposite of the perspective you hear claimed by many.
> I don't share my "real" email address with Facebook.

Don't worry, they know it anyway.
sorry to hear all this. maybe in 10 years someone will come along and fill this hole left by Apple.
Oops, that's what I meant. Thanks!
It's ironic because anylist cites that as a reason to stop supporting that very feature. That would only reduce my desire to Sign Up for that app.

Slate Star Codex Is Gone
This is not how the tech hype works though. Chrome was hyped up by tech people who despised IE and desperately wanted an alternative. They sold it enough to the non tech crowd. Similarly the privacy conscious tech crowd will sell it to the rest of the bunch. At the end of the day even if people don’t care about privacy it’s still something they can feel good about and it matters.
You add nothing to your claim that it is the same organization and i will keep refuting that as the nonsense it is.

> The FBI says antifa uses social media to organize, but there’s no specific organization or leadership structure.

To me it looks like a very loose group of "anti-parental-authority" youth on the left fringe, which mostly idiolises fantasy-feelgood-anarchism, mixed with some older anti-klan streams that are special to the USA. You can't just claim that is the continuation of the paramilitary wing of KPD 1931 halfway across the planet, then also claim it is basically Thälmanns KPD, which is basically Stalin himself, because all things loosely related are the same thing. I call bullshit.

Those far fetched stories about how revolutionaries have found themselves abused by some autocratic authoritarian putschists are nice and true, but they do not give any substance to your claim that current Antifa USA is a stalinist organization. Your argument seems to be "all leftist revolution must end in stalinism, therefor they are all stalinists", which is so ridiculous, there should be some Godwins law variant for that.

That democracy you speak of is based on the believe in pluralism, yet you deny the existence of pluralism in the vague field that spans from KPD and Antifa 1931 to todays USA. You somehow completely ignore the 1980s hardcore anarchistic punk scene, 90 years of history, and instead you throw in some "cancel culture" and "maoist culture revolution". You have nothing backing your claim that it is a stalinist organization except matching symbols on anti-capitalist merchandise sold for $5.99 and a generalized red scare.

Now i agree with you on warning about the dangers of totalitarian authoritarianism. On that part we are fine. But you are crying wolves because of a freaking chihuahua! Yes that thing is related to wolves, and it is annoying, but you are the idiot for thinking they are the same. Freedom and Liberalism are not attacked by some rioting teenagers in downtown Seattle. Those who make encryption illegal and want everything on the net monitored by the Ministry for State Security for signs of domestic terrorism, those are the wolves.
Funny enough, I asked someone I patron if I could just Zelle them the money every month instead and they sent me their info. Takes me about 2 mins a month, and I’ve cut Patreon out of the transaction, so win win.
This industry isn't a monolith, you have Javascript still chugging along, things like Lua as well. Microsft has the CLR as well.

Of course some stuff is conflating the language and the VM (which gets you to things like asm.js) but I think people acknowledge the value of what the JVM provides even in projects you cite (Zig has a whole thing about cross-compilation, for example).

And honestly? targetting a VM is _way easier_ than targetting native code generation. Perf-wise it might suck to try and then engineer good performance out of it (though you can get shared improvements with things like the JVM), but "staggering complexity" feels like a misqualification for something that got us a lot further down the "write once run everywhere" path than C ended up doing.
Sorta, it breaks down the images (from anime?) into three representations - surface, structure, and details, and also extracts each of those representations from generated images. Those representations are then cross-checked by the adverserial network, which improves the GAN's anime-esque generation ability.

@burningfrog

I believe you when you say that you 'honestly dont see what the con is' and agree with other comments 'this is totally normal.

So perhaps it helps bridge our divide if I ask you to imagine me as someone who is a little more sensitive to deception, games, exploitation, manipulation.

I understand right now you might again say 'but non of this is me and you have still made no point'. We are probably wired differently, or have differing world views about why live, what purpose money might serve, something along those lines.

I am impressed with your creativity and business 'tenacity'. But from where I/my mind/folks i associate with (im the kind of 30s person who says 'folks') these steps to 'create' 'value' are at best an engineering of perceptions.

We could talk about how everything engineers our perceptions, all the way to the style of clothing, culture, language, how tall are you. But my reaction was meant to focus, empathetically, on a conscious and intelligent effort to convince presumably uninformed or ill equipped people to trust your presentation, its integrity etc and spend money.

Its about a hard to describe heart felt opposition not to the pursuit of profits but opposition to a maneuvering to assign artificial value to things. I think these practices tarnish the good image of a persons business intellect, and their position on more human interests, and capitalism, and even further a culture.

It almost feels like a good v evil thing. Will we
G: identify known value or suspected opportunities for value and produce/consume accordingly, whether it is for entertainment, health whatever
E: provide a platform for maximum profit, engineering consumers and humanity into some sort of monster hamster wheel of feeding our masters. I get this is a huge reach from our original point but thought perhaps the very extended image would entertain and lighten my attempt to clarify. Ultimately whichever way it goes i guess the sun will eventually die.
