With a device that needs to be used in every day life (proof: smart phone penetration in many countries, more recently, access to certain locations only with a Covid app) it makes sense to have stronger protections for consumers and other businesses.

> My preferred outcome would see Apple maintaining its control of app installation. I treasure and depend on the openness of PCs and Macs, but I am also relieved that the iPhone is so dependable for those less technically savvy than me.

I think people overestimate the importance/benefit of such level of control over instalation of apps. Yes, Wintel was plagued by malware viruses but Mac/Linux/Unix wasn't. I don't think the benefit (protecting users from threats) outweighs the drawbacks (not having control of device, not allowing ecosystem of paid thinkerers to help Muggles personalize their devices) of having such closed approach.

Depends, some climates buildings were moldy.

But old buildings generally aren't even close to air tight. Under those conditions as long as they are heated even a little the humidity is mostly lower than outside. Mean the amount of water in the air as a percent is the same inside and outside. But since it's hotter inside the house the relative humidity is lower. In temperate climates you don't get mold.

It's actually modern air tight houses that have terrible problems with mold. Because they don't breath water vapor builds up inside.
Are you suggesting that because some percentage of individuals experiences adverse effects, it doesn't help the vast majority of individuals?

Antidepressants such as Zoloft and Prozac are taken by tens of millions of Americans each year, yet both drugs carry a black box warning that they may cause or worsen suicidal thoughts, and both drugs have been shown in scientific studies to worsen depression in some percentage of patients. And manufacturers of both drugs have paid out large sums of money in class-action lawsuits where the drugs were implicated in suicides attempts.

If someone said "SSRIs are useful to treat people with clinical depression" would you simply reply:

>Yeah, citation needed for that. Because "people often have meltdowns and new or worsening suicidal thoughts" isn't really encouraging.

In other words, because thousands of individuals experience worsening depression or suicidal thoughts, you'd doubt that it provides long-term help to the millions who don't experience those effects?
I majored in CS in college, and I would say there is actually easily enough room for additional, non-technical/mathematical subjects in the curriculum.

As part of my major, I was required to take: two calculus courses, two physics (or chemistry–but almost nobody did) courses, linear algebra, and two discrete math courses. I can confidently say that aside from some very basic physics from the first of the two classes, I have used absolutely none of the knowledge in any of those courses in my life, and if we are just talking about my career (mostly working on Etsy and Trello), then I haven't even used the physics. The rest, I have effectively forgotten completely.

Some of my CS electives also proved not to be that useful for much; for example, my courses on computer graphics, compilers, and operating systems. I retain some basic knowledge from those courses which sometimes come in handy for quickly understanding tangentially-related concepts, but definitely nothing to spend entire semesters on.

Of course, I'm not arguing that nobody who studies computer science should learn the things I've listed, but it seems silly to me to make them required. I took both my calculus and physics courses during my first year of college, and by my third year, I had probably forgotten almost 100% of it. In terms of my career trajectory, and even in terms of the value of knowledge/education for the sake of being knowledgable/educated, it was a complete waste of my time and money.

Often times, I wish I was able to learn a wider variety of things in college.

I think the bigger issue here is that computer science is so tightly coupled with software engineering. I hope that as time goes on, we get better at separating the disciplines in the same way that we've separated other sciences from engineering (e.g. chemistry vs chemical engineering, physics vs mechanical/civil engineering, etc.).

Please do read further on Tarski's work. Specifically, Tarski's Undefinability of Truth is a formal result which says that the typical language that we use to describe the world is so powerful that it cannot define its own notion of truth when analyzed formally. It is part of a family of results which destabilized the logicist dreams of the era and led to our modern vision of mathematics as a branching tree of many different logics.

Edit: https://www.logicmatters.net/resources/pdfs/godelbook/GodelB... is quite good and includes Tarski's results. There's also GEB, of course.
I don't think you are using two points that are similar enough.

If Australia bans encryption, you as a consumer who resides in Australia has a high switching cost (moving, new job, residence, etc.) and thus the consumer loses out.

If Apple starts to use that power badly... you can switch to a number of competitor feature phones with largely the same feature and app capabilities (Android being the most obvious)

In a market with 2+ competitors and where its low switching costs (moving contacts is quite easy these days, not a lot of deep 2-year contracts for phones/providers) this point doesn't hold true
Historically that may have been true; I won't argue that point.

The difference between the atom bomb and CS is that the latter has a ubiquity of access and reproducibility that subject it to completely different ethical and philosophical concerns.

More like ~3.9 GB/s for a desktop CPU and somewhere north of 7 GB/s for AES-256-CTR. The performance difference between CBC and CTR is pretty much exactly what you'd expect, you can only use one out of two units, and you have to wait out the full latency (1:4 disadvantage on recent cores) => ~8x slower.
Dazzle was meant to fool coincidence rangefinders. The method of operation of such a rangefinder is that you see two halves of a picture, and your job as the operator is to adjust a range knob until the two halves "line up" and produce a single picture. By making parts of the ship easy to mistake for other parts, dazzle made this hard.

Dazzle fundamentally failed at this task because the primary opponent, Imperial Germany, did not use coincidence rangefinders. Instead, they used stereoscopic rangefinders, against which Dazzle had little effect. (Incidentally, the Germans also went to war with a naval camouflage paint scheme that was best designed to defeat their own instruments, and was notably less effective against the Royal Navy.)

> That doesn't address the issue: those who would can't.

Then buy any other general computing product on the market. I'd be more sympathetic to this concern if Android didn't exist. Meanwhile it does, and the users who picked Apple did it because they don't care about this, they don't care very much about this, or because they actively want the App Store restrictions and the ecosystem that they create.

> You don't lose anything if you don't want to.

I very well might, though. Changes to rules change how actors behave in a system. The way software developers and publishers behave on iOS could change in ways that I don't like if they're able to viably distribute software outside the App Store. That might be OK, except forcing developers and publishers to follow the App Store rules is part of the appeal of the devices. If that'd been a major sticking point for me, I could have bought Android.

> In November last year the App Review team made it clear that our apps were not welcome in the
Store anymore as they actively removed our main app from the Store. They pointed to the rule
(2.26) created just a couple of years ago about what kind of apps can recommend apps other than
its own (by the way I still believe my apps fit the description). We of course have been aware of
this rule since it came out, as we already had a healthy business and significant payroll doing app
journalism. When we saw some apps get removed, it made us more steadfast in our mission.
Because we believed the fact that we were not bothered is because we were doing it the "right 11
way. We were really serving the user and the App Store. Not selling fake "recommendations" as
deceptive ads. We literally turned down millions of dollars in revenues, as developers repeatedly
asked to pay per install to be featured in our app (outside of tradition advertising). It was hard to
turn down the money even though we knew it was not right to users. One thing that made it
easier is our belief that playing it straight would keep us in the App Store and in Apple's good
graces.

The rule exists for precisely the reason this email notes: to prevent the selling of deceptive in-app ads. How are App Review personnel supposed to know if the in-app links to other apps are there to really "serve the user" or as paid advertising? They can't, hence the rule. I don't see this is a problem, I see this as a good thing - I don't want to be exposed to deceptive advertising.

Right but i do not think it is really about Apple having responsibility - it is about Apple being in control.

For example, see how Apple is in total control on when iOS devices are obsolete by requiring some minimum version. You can't keep your device usable and useful by installing a program that supports it from another source, you can only install it from Apple and Apple's requirements limit the iOS versions you can target.
They made several million dollars daily. I think you severely underestimate the gaming market.
It seems like these requirements will lead to layoffs; as some companies will find it easier/faster to get rid of staff than to change their modus operandi.
Does he? He seems closer to a Steve Jobs type marketer than a Bill Gates type engineer.
iOS is protecting me WAY more than Google Play store. I also read plenty about Apple being TOO strict on developers more than I read them being loose. (which sorry to the developers out there and definitely an area that apple can and should improve on)

Your point that some bad actors get through doesn't invalidate that Apple seems to be doing the best job of keeping the app store secure and consumer friendly.
I daily drive OpenBSD on a Thinkpad x220 for side gigs/personal use. The drawbacks:

* Hardware support is great for me because I use a Thinkpad: most OBSD devs use Thinkpads as their laptops. I tried on a work-issued Dell and the driver support wasn't there + some odd kernel panics happened. Target "current generation - 1" and you'll likely have less to worry about.

* Expect performance to take a hit – every so often Chrome exhibits graphical tearing, slows down, etc. The pages I frequent don't tend to cause this issue, but if your browsing is JS to the max you might have some headaches.

* You'll find tons of packages, but should expect support to be lagging behind Linux. Just a function of adoption, really. Additionally, OBSD compiles some packages with security functionality that isn't present in other OSes, so expect a SIGABRT or two that you might otherwise not see.

Really though, it depends on your needs. It fits mine perfectly.
The statement referred to heating driving sagging, which increased resistance.

The increase of resistance with temperature is well-known -- I was curious if there is some effect that is directly related to the wire sag (changing morphology, somehow-altered surface area/skin-depth, changing kinks at the connections, some subtlety with increased length (cross-sectional area also increases), etc..).

Roundtables – Tiny groups for in-depth conversations
Hey everyone

I'm super excited to open up the beta signups for the app I've been working on.

I have been struggling to find spaces where I can have meaningful conversations with other designers about my work in progress, or my personal work-related struggles, especially during these crazy times!

While I was working at Wix, I had 20-30 other designers I was talking to regularly, and that was amazing! I left Wix to work for a small startup, then later started freelancing and I have been struggling to recreate that community ever since - That's my hope for this platform.

The app itself has already gone through several iterations based on user feedback, and I'm now ready to gradually open it up for more members.

I would love to hear what you think, and hope to see you there :)

The homeschool (or now, "school addon") market is relatively competitive, compared to the public school "market". There's plenty of non-BLM curricula out there, and here I use "BLM" as a relatively narrow point, so by "non-BLM" I mean many things that are still liberal/left-wing, not as a catchall for an entire ideological "side". The choice is overwhelming, if anything.

When it comes to military aircraft, the situation there is kind of interesting. There's no general exception for the military, military aircraft are generally "required" to transmit ADS-B unless they have a specific reason not to (and I believe this requires authorization from somewhere up the chain of command). I put "required" in scare quotes though as many military aircraft are simply not equipped... the DoD has drug its feet on installing ADS-B out and the FAA has basically relented by setting very lax objectives. FAA requested DoD to have ADS-B installed on 21% of aircraft by the first of this year and I believe they met that goal... but it's still less than a quarter.

Over time more and more military aircraft should be appearing in ADS-B data, but I suspect it's going to be some years before it's almost all of them.

Is meditation a means to an end? Is mental stillness or focusing on senses the result of meditation, or meditation itself?
The appropriate strategy is deescalation and regaining the public trust through the rule of law. The first step is putting criminal cops in jail to show that the "bad apples" haven't spoiled the whole bunch. Stop allowing police to create battle lines to "control crowds" by attacking protesters. Once there is some semblance of public trust that police officers will be held accountable under the rule of law, deploy small units of police into crowds to stop troublemakers. The units should be sized such they can deal with a few violent aggressors, but are otherwise at the mercy of the crowd (eg to make citizen arrests) - remember that the right dynamic is that the police ultimately serve the citizenry. I'm not saying that it's easy for control-fallacy politicians to accept this strategy, but it is the only way forward.
Some of you are commenting on the fact that this might be a generated comment. I get that a lot. My sporadic thought feels generative, I get that, fair observation. But please be more kind to other users. I'll work on my own diction to provide more insightful and constructive comments above light praise.

I use Ally and i'm pretty happy. Don't know if it checks off the CSV exports but I believe it has all the others.

The big thing that I like are alerts for charges over a certain amount. A few years back, I was using TD Bank and I happened to check my online account one day and noticed an $1800 withdrawal that I didn't make (I got lucky, because I don't check the account that often). I called them up and they said it was a mistake, but wouldn't explain how or why it happened. Well... no thanks... given that you pay me close to 0% interest anyway, I'll give someone else the privilege of holding my money. Since then, I maintain a minimal deposit at TD because I like having a bank with physical locations and moved the rest to Ally. Ally is nice, because anytime I have a transaction over $100 (which is an amount you can customize), I get a text message, so any funny transactions are noticeable right away (not that there have been any). This feature is a must-have for me now.
I think that would be a great way to increase scope of a government agency in a way that makes real sense and value to people.

There are lots of SD card sized devices out there. A bit thicker because of packaging, but, still pretty small.

On a slightly different take, Octavo makes Pi Zero like devices (single core, 512MB) but with Ethernet and (IIRC) eMMC memory within a single package itself smaller than an SD card. I would love to design a board with a couple of them and a network switch.
