One way this could be remediated a little bit would be if vendors for these devices were not so bent on not giving away any details and to prevent repairability.

If there were schematics available and devices were made to be disassembled and looked at there would be more people "auditing" devices in the field to give an alert when something is out of norm.

A bit unrelated:

The hardware attacks, I have seen one over a decade ago when working on software for credit card terminals. We started getting shipments of terminals with nefarious hardware injected. These terminals had built in fuse that could be checked to see if device was tampered with (opened). These small boards had to be added in the assembly somewhere in China and it was a problem to detect them because opening the device meant it became useless as ones with tamper flag are not allowed in production. The attackers learned to scrape some plastic from the device to make the weight match exactly.

This was rather primitive attack (there was separate board of questionable quality glued inside enclosure and visibly wired to the main board) but it was rather problematic for us. I shudder to think if attackers had better hang of technology.
2U is only available in Japan. They only ship whole Rack internationally.

May be someone could give some hints as to why?
The architect sounds interesting. Do you have any links for examples etc?
You are being incharitable in reading the comment. Sandboxing and capabilities are buzzwords now? And meaningless?

Jacques Cousteau was a horrible person, both personally (bigot, anti-Semite, pathological liar) and professionally. It's inexplicable that he passes for a defender of nature when in reality he "explored" things by blowing them up with explosives and destroyed unique sites, etc.

The grandson is a different person of course; but he invokes his grandfather's name as a reference and proof of competence. Don't fall for it.

Function calls are expensive inside hot loops, that's why we rely on compilers to do inlining and unrolling optimizations for us. I don't think that's possible in that example, you should write the loop in C and return the data you expect instead of writing the loop in JS and calling tiny functions that will never be inlined.

For what it's worth, (scalar) numerical operations in JS are actually quite close to C. It's not like python.
I’ve got bad news. Wealth isn't a number in your bank account that you can carve up and redistribute. Its the output of a properly managed system of assets and liabilities. If you just seize the outputs and give them away it will turn to ashes in the mouths of the recipients. They’ll have nothing after it’s spent while those who produce the wealth will have taken their knowledge and capabilities with them. All this has been tried before and it always fails because it’s the wrong way to solve the problem.
I’ve heard hundreds of supporters speak and the message is fairly uniform: reduce the operational scope and budget of police significantly and use those resources on programs - proven to work elsewhere - which help people and communities in ways that are more appropriate to the specific problem and more efficient in reducing crime. The degree in which the scope/budget varies, but of course some people are arguing for what they think is realistically achievable and others are arguing their ideal; both are valid debate strategies and don’t necessarily mean that they aren’t aligned.

The few people I’ve heard say “remove police entirely,” when asked to elaborate, meant that the entire organization/concept of policing should be rebuilt from the ground up, not that there should be no one in society available to respond to crimes occurring.

This serves as an interesting counterpoint to Paul Graham's Beating the Averages[0] essay (which argues for using a powerful programming language as a secret weapon to allow a startup to outperform its competitors).

Reading this list, I'm struck by just how mainstream the languages are. I don't have anything against Python or Ruby, but it'd be hard to describe either as a secret weapon — indeed, about the only "secret weapon" languages on that list are Lisp and Elixir, each of which shows up only once.

I believe what one want is not no police, but rather a non-racist, fair, police. Maybe I missed something, but imho the protests are not for the removal of police, but rather for a police you can trust and rely on, regardless of your look.

The devices are used as game clients, not game servers.

Streaming audio sounds like an interesting idea, so instead of the server sending an event and the client playing a sound when that event is received, the client would constantly stream a dynamically created audio file. This solution could work, feels a bit complex as you would still have to make sure stream catches up if user has a lag spike, instead of buffering the audio (timing should still be accurate).

That being said, what it the game is single-player and there is no server? Then the client itself would have to generate the audio stream and stream it to itself, which wouldn't work if the background thread is throttled.
I remember some time in support, most customers weren't rude. It's boring calls to register on the service, moving out to a new address, or confirming identity.
> Avoiding Facebook and Google is trivial

Avoiding Google is definitely not trivial.
I know here in Norway, lots of public schools are giving teachers and pupils Chromebooks, and insisting that homework is done in Google Docs. How would you propose avoiding Google in this setting? You pretty much have to bring a Google device into your home and actively use it if you want to complete your education.
Many banks don’t properly validate the CVV and expiry date, or only apply fuzzy matching to “improve the customer experience”.

Classic example of this is Tesco bank where they only checked that the expiry date was in the future, not if it actually matched the card.

They also made a number of other insane mistakes, and FCA report does a good job of explaining them [1]

I'm sure they take a cut if you use the Microsoft Store.

You know why Windows runs code not from the Microsoft Store. It's legacy. There wasn't always a Microsoft Store, running executable straight from floppy, CD-ROM or the Internet was the norm. Changing it now would be changing the product people already bought and break workflows.

iPhone never had that legacy. From day 0 it only ran Apple code. Then it ran 3rd party code via the App Store. There was no such legacy. But there are older products with such a legacy. Didn't your old Nintendo have precisely the same rules from day 0 and so do modern consoles?
This was clear right from the outset too. Upper middle class white people in "nice" neighborhoods don't even interact with police.

I interacted with a police officer a grand total of 3 times in the last 20 years: one traffic citation, one traffic ticket (missing front plate on the car - deserved), and an officer stopped by after someone broke into our mailbox and asked if I'd press charges (I said I would, but they never found the perp).

Compare that to a bad neighborhood in e.g. Chicago or Detroit where the situation is worse than in Kabul, and without constant, heavy, aggressive police presence a lot more people will be murdered.

The belief that we do not need police and that a "social worker" is sufficient in e.g. Chicago is what someone has astutely called a "luxury belief", a modern equivalent of "let them eat cake". It comes from the tower so ivory, you can't look at it without hurting your eyes in broad daylight.

> Jobs originally said that the aim of the 30% was to cover costs of running the store. It is evident from the MASSIVE profits that this is no longer the case.

I think this is key; I would argue that Jobs has a point on curation being important; but also, in the modern world, the app store is arguably "public utility".

Apple can keep their store & their rules, but the law should cap the fees so that they only cover costs of running the store - nothing more. Not unlike how EU has e.g. capped mobile data fees for telcos.
I would guess they might use pcie in some physically large systems such as super computers, enterprise networking stuff etc.

Yes to both. If you're on defense generally you stay stickless and cover a guy at the point (blueline, furthest from the goal). If you're a defensemen and lose your stick a forward generally gives you theirs because you're more important and they play the stickless role covering lesser threats further away.

If you're not on defense, you skate to the bench and grab a new stick or jump off and another player with a stick jumps on.

Or, same player linked in article, Evgeny Kuznetsov, finds an opponent's stick caught in glass and takes it and plays with it (also happens to be a penalty, but a hilarious one) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgYUdIDyNXg
I agree with this. The only winners in the current situation are Apple. By opening it up to competitor app stores, yes competitors would benefit, but so would developers and so would their users. The App Store as it stands has completely stagnated to the point where it’s useless to me outside of actually downloading or buying an app. It’s been years since I’ve been able to discover new apps though it, now relying for devs to link their apps directly, YouTube videos talking about apps or websites with app lists. If I go in the App Store looking for something, unless it by chance happens to be in their top list, I can’t find anything I don’t already have a link for or know the name of, at least on iPad. If I click on a category and press “show all”, they show me maybe ten or twenty apps in total. Out of thousands.

By opening the platform to other app stores, developers will benefit due to choice and competition on fees and descoverability, end users will benefit from encouraged innovation, Apple will be forced to compete on convenience or features instead of letting it stagnate while they collect buckets of cash... it would be good for consumers and the ecosystem.

Microsoft got into trouble for bundling a web browser, where they didn’t directly make money, Apple should get into trouble for the App Store, where they do directly make money due to their artificial lack of competition.
This is about the fourth time I've seen this submission in the past day or two. Does anybody on here ever bother to check, before head-butting the submit button?
That isn’t true. Most banks don’t support the updating services that exist.

These subscriptions are supported by look at if the payment appeared as a “card-on-file” payment, and many banks will just keep accepting charges to expired cards.

If you’re lucky they’ll be using the PAN + expiry date to uniquely identify the card the payment belongs too.

The CVV isn’t stored by the merchant or their processor, and is only used for the initial checkout flow.

Maybe some people buy it as a status symbol, but the user experience in general, for someone who doesn't want root and other customizability but likes a nice smooth easy-to-use interface (as much as smartphones of today can even be user friendly), is far better on the iOS side than on the Android side. And one doesn't have to carry a large and heavier device in order to get this experience (compare the battery capacities between iOS devices and Android devices). There are things that only those who use it can realize.

In my experience, people often make decisions first then go trawling through sea of data, selecting metrics which support their decision and ignoring those that contradict it. Intentionally or not, much of this stuff is essentially p-hacked.

Nah, I guess you've over simplified things. We can take card number/account number as address but again, you will need something to identify yourself to the bank as the genuine account holder and that's exactly where all kinds of sh*ts happens: uid/pwd are neither safe nor convenient; sms/text msg are not much better than uid/pwd; hardware token/csp which is much more secure but trust me, no one really want to go there as there are simply too much environment related quirks.

This needs to be brought up more often. Apple IS a lifestyle, fashion brand, and this is probably a sector that is heavily underappreciated by entrepreneurs. Fashion is a strong motivator, and phones are strong social signal indicators, - something that is not appreciated among developers/techies. I know some ppl who bought a mac (because their peers did) and yet run windows (because excel is all they do/know). Also, considering that iDevices are designed to appeal to "simple users", it's kind of an oxymoron to pretend that their average consumer appreciates them for Swift compilers or their processors.

It sounds like you're suggesting that people are making comments along the lines of "This poll must be wrong because all the black people I know think police presence should be reduced."

I scanned the first several posts and didn't see any comments like that. Someone mentioning their personal experience doesn't align with a result isn't suggesting the poll is wrong. Not everything is an argument. To me this suggests the data points could be distributed into homogeneous pockets, and a discussion of this possibility seems fair game.

Some comments raise questions about the experimental methods or muse about hidden nuance in the data, which also seem like fair discussion points for this forum.

Containers, especially temporary containers. For me they've become as essential and eye-opening as adblockers.

I'm convinced if ff weren't screwing up on mobile containers would become as popular as adblockers as well.

I still use ff on mobile but it's mostly because I don't know what would be better, not because I like it. There's a huge chasm between mobile and desktop.
Is the slogan "defund the police" helpful in this case?
I do not think that Mozilla will prevent Google from being legally perceived a monopoly, rather Yandex and Alibaba will prevent the US administration from braking up Google. Imagine Google be broken up to be effectively less influential compared to what they are right now. Do you really think Yandex or Alibaba will give a shit and give up their quasi-monopoly in their realms as well? It's effectively Googles size which prevents these two from taking over.
Murders peaked 1990 and not a lot of murders goes unreported. Then in just a few years NYC went from being one of the most murderous cities in USA to one of the least murderous cities.
Epic isn't the hero we need but the hero we deserve.

I can certainly imagine a lot of companies are tight-lipped about it.

My livelihood depends on an app store and so I'm super cautious about what I say publicly about the company that controls it.

This sort of chilling effect is scary and should rightly be contested.

Epic is criticized for being a huge company themselves and using that as leverage in their legal battle. However, small companies stand absolutely no chance so Epic is the only one that can take this fight.

Epic is the champion of all the smaller businesses with apps on phones. Not because Epic wants them to do well but because Epic wants Epic to do well. They'll just happen to help all of us - consumer and developer - with them.

I'm rooting for them.
For any app which has an existence beyond the app store, customers can already pay without Apple. Customers can pay for Microsoft Office, Amazon Prime, or Netflix on their own through conventional channels.

Apple's position is that if you are delivering digital goods to be used on their devices, then you must offer an additional way to pay.

From the consumer's perspective my choices have now grown. Where before I could've managed my own relationships with Microsoft and others, now I can have the option for Apple to intermediate. For people with elderly parents and runaway subscriptions, this is crazy valuable.

And while I say customers can manage their own relationships, the truth is that without Apple backing them up, it's companies who will get the better of the relationship by successfully compelling customers to go through their bad payment system, like they already do.
They really screwed up interrail, I'm not sure why. When I was 18 I got the 1-month interrail ticket, I think it was either all zones, or most of them, together with a friend, at 350 euro per ticket. We went from Leeuwarden (north of NL) to munich, to milano, to bari, then the boat to greece, to athens, thessaloniki, istanbul, back to thessaloniki, then north to sofia, bucharest, brasov, budapest, vienna, munich, back to leeuwarden. We both had a budget of 1000 euro, we skipped quickly through the rich countries, staying longer in the poor countries.

If you've got kids coming of age looking for something cool to do, I highly recommend this, I think it was formative and really filled in some blanks in my head, growing up in a super rich country obviously doesn't give you a particularly complete view of the world. On the way we met kids from the states and canada as well that I suppose were on eurail passes.

This was 15 years ago, I've been told it's no longer attractive to do the 1-month pass. I worked a simple data entry job after high school to save up for it. I'd recommend sponsoring the ticket for your kid if you can! I think restricting the budget was also a good idea, for us it was all we could afford, but it forced us to look for cheap spots, we only camped maybe 4 days in the whole month, in countries like hungary and romania it turned out the difference between camping and staying in a cabin was like 2 euro per night.

edit: they actually reintroduced the 1 month free travel pass, it's 500 euro so not that much more expensive.

I’d say we are at the beginning of a lot of technological trends, trends that will span centuries, and we don’t quite understand how they will play out.

AGI probably won’t get really interesting until 50-100-150 years from now. Ditto for stuff like space travel, self-driving cars or social media.

I’d also question your assertion that the iPhone wasn’t a revolutionary change; we simply haven’t understood the full implications of mobile computing and mobile access to a global network. Remember that the Internet has only been around in a consumer form for roughly 20-25 years. This is an incredibly short period of time, compared to say, the printing press or the steam engine, and we’ve already seen society completely transformed.
