They only require Sign in with Apple if third-party or social logins are offered.

4.8 Sign in with Apple

Apps that use a third-party or social login service (such as Facebook Login, Google Sign-In, Sign in with Twitter, Sign In with LinkedIn, Login with Amazon, or WeChat Login) to set up or authenticate the user’s primary account with the app must also offer Sign in with Apple as an equivalent option. A user’s primary account is the account they establish with your app for the purposes of identifying themselves, signing in, and accessing your features and associated services.

Sign in with Apple is not required if:

- Your app exclusively uses your company’s own account setup and sign-in systems.

- Your app is an education, enterprise, or business app that requires the user to sign in with an existing education or enterprise account.

- Your app uses a government or industry-backed citizen identification system or electronic ID to authenticate users.

- Your app is a client for a specific third-party service and users are required to sign in to their mail, social media, or other third-party account directly to access their content.

According to my one semester intro course, this is referred to in linguistics as either a "prescriptive" or "descriptive" approach to language. As I think you alluded to, while the prescriptive approach defines people's attitudes regarding how certain approaches to the language are viewed ("this is right/wrong"), it rarely ends up actually changing how the language(s) themselves get used and develop.
Thank you, just to expand, as I fear there's a disconnect.

"we don't need to rush this" and put out a vaccine super-quick that might itself inadvertently kill/harm a large proportion of the population.

I'm not at all diminishing the severity of Covid19 (deaths _&_ life-changing health effects, as you remind us), but thankfully it's not killing 40% (IIRC) of the infected like Ebola. Under that pressure a vaccine would probably be advisable even if it 'only' killed 20% (!) - if you could get anyone to have such a vaccine?

All vaccination programmes cause some harm, mass inoculation in a rush has the potential to cause more harm than no vaccination.

There's some very interesting work on apparent immunity to Covid19 going on (The Lancet article recently), which I'm hoping will suggest that an endemic "common cold" coronavirus has effectively inoculated people. That would seem to give an inoculation known to already be relatively safe. But it's way out of my areas of expertise.

This was our introduction to "not everything on the internet is true, even if it's presented nicely" circa middle school. Glad to see it's still up and running!
The SDK gives developers a functional interface to responding to user interactions in the different touchpoints of a meeting app. These include things like a toolbar button, a sidebar view, and a video overlay. When responding to these interactions, the SDK assists apps to perform a few key side effects, things like mutating a shared state or sending an event to another client. The SDK handles all of the connections and consistency there so developers can focus on the unique value their apps can add.

We're currently working on a way to access raw audio + video, but it will likely not be available in the initial release of the SDK.

Some of the apps that are available right now include

* an agenda to keep your meetings organized

* a handraise app with a built in queue

* an airhorn for blasting people who talk too long

* a minesweeper game you can play while you wait for meetings to start

* A shared youtube watching experience that anybody can pause or fastforward.
I wiped the computer used for this whole ago, but the models are probably on the cloud somewhere.

My problem was that the produced STL had some errors that were hard to see but definitely showed up in prints, for example a wall section could be missing.

Carmack talks about this a bit, the Quest 1 had enough pixel density that a big screen in VR (such as the Netflix app) could give you about 720 of useful resolution. With the new screens, it's more like 1080p. But if you're doing multiple smaller screens rather than a big movie theater, they'll be less than that.

They're launching an official project for this, called Infinite Office. You see the world in black and white through the tracking cameras, but you have colorful VR screens around you.
Think in the line that:

Now a VM provider can provide the claimed amount of computing resources to the customer more accurately adhering to the advertised customers. That's offered by the part of moving shared services out of main CPUs.

Then next, people now can have bare-metally services. For example, VMWare wantted to have such system so that they can manage the whole machine with their VM software, you can imagine, Nitro make such system more easier to run on AWS machines, while at the same time, still have full control over security, IO, networking, etc.

Not that theres a particular limit, just that its unbearably slow. To the point of it being pretty much unusable if you spend significant time of your work in a terminal text editor.

This is an issue with tmux on macos to be clear, not with alacritty, but it kinda is related as alacritty doesn't come with any window management features so you kinda have to use tmux..

Just checked out the project repo, seems like the warning is still there on the faq[1], so I'm guessing it is still the same.

Well, thus is, strictly speaking, the difference between "I don't know' and "I dunno". Speakers know this is a colloquial saying.

There might be a few areas where official bodies are lagging behind usage ("postuler à" being one I have in mind), but I'd say that grammar nazis and teachers alike are actually somewhat effective IMO.
Apple isn’t punishing Epic for anything. They had a business agreement. Epic isn’t just ‘accused’ of breaking the agreement. They admit that they did so.

They could have disputed the agreement in court without breaking it first, but they chose to break it.

Apple has no reason to continue to do business with Epic. Epic is clearly demonstrating their hostility to Apple. It would be self-harm, and possibly even a breach of fiduciary duty for Apple to continue to do business with a hostile party.
I know. It's a shame the police keep responding to peaceful protests with extraordinary state-sponsored violence, forcing people to go to the extremes to make their voice heard.

With the utmost respect, can somebody please tell if anyone thought of requiring a Firefox account? Or charge $2/mo and go from there? Products usually iterate on design and security, no? Not just give up right away?

Some of us recommended a Firefox+ service that bundles Firefox Send, the VPN, etc. and charge a monthly premium. I would've paid a lot of money. Nothing makes any sense looking from outside!
That's a great resource! Thank you for sharing.
AFAIK the Sentry people are big on Rust and very responsive. I’m sure they’d react well to a bug report. :)
There are several plaintiffs of many races, including past residents of Palo Alto who have moved away. But one of the arguments being made in the complaint is that minorities are specifically affected. The NAACP is also either a party or helping minority plaintiffs file.

Palo Alto is a neighbor of East Palo Alto, which is on the (less desirable) bay shore. There have been racist covenants and exclusionary policies applied towards colored people in the past in Palo Alto, resulting in Palo Alto becoming majority white and East Palo Alto becoming majority colored. All of this is known fact, and lends credence to the complaint.

Personally, I think the case has merit even without the race aspect. But the race aspect certainly bolsters plaintiffs' arguments.

It makes you feel cool? I guess.
It's not just developer jobs.You go into higher level professional jobs and you're usually looking for some fairly specific experience. (Arguably at the highest levels you're looking more for people who can broadly make organizational impact, but stick to individual contributors to keep things simple.)

When I look around my broader group, I'm a bit of an outlier even in a lot of engineers would say we all do "marketing." But there are relatively few other jobs I could hit the ground running with at a senior level. What I do is very different from demand generation, marketing campaigns, etc.

If someone is right out of school who cares. But you're not going to pay me senior level compensation for a job I don't really know at a detailed level.
>why can't they similarly disagree with software import restrictions?

The argument for import restrictions is giving up control to foreign governments.

For example, Europe is in a very rough spot because their countries run on software built by US companies, subject to the whims of US law enforcement.

The biggest threat being 3 letter agencies. The CIA does a lot of spying on behalf of US corporations to drive US corporate interests. [0]

The comment you're replying to does not describe a process list.

Users do understand the concept of apps, obviously. A log of "App X used the camera", "App Y accessed your location" is well within what non-tech-savvy smartphone users can understand.
I would say no. The resolution is not high enough for typical monitor sized text at typical monitor distances. If you wanted a virtual 100" screen but with only as much on it as you put on a 24/27" screen today, maybe, but I'm not sure what the benefit to that is.
The "We're a republic, not a democracy," comes from the 1930s as an isolationist slogan to argue against getting involved with "the defense of democracies" (the FDR argument) during World War II. From there it became a quip from the John Birch Society to delegitimize a political party. I know that sounds, hyperbolic, but it's true.

The Z80 was the chip in the original Radio Shack TRS-80 computers. I got one back in 1979, when I was 15 years old. I had a book on the Z80, the text in this article brings back memories, and figured out how to do some simple machine language programming. Mostly simple graphics programs, storing values to the TRS-80's display memory buffer. Eventually I got the TRS-80 Assembler that made things a bit easier. I can't remember now how I actually input the machine language hexadecimal without using that assembler, but I'm sure I did. Or maybe not, my memory is sometimes not so reliable on these things, even when I feel certain.

I can hardly imagine how different things must be now for young kids growing up in internet era, where everything is at your fingertips. Information was much more difficult to get back in the old days, traveled much more slowly. But, still, kids had the energy to figure things out.
Modifications in all JS frameworks are the same. Some interaction causes an event, that event is caught and changes some data, that data then triggers the render functions which show the new UI. This is often coded with event handlers linked to actions/mutations/reducers in some kind of state management library.

Vue (and some other frameworks) use a reactivity approach where the data is wrapped with a proxy that basically automates all this code. I find it much easier to reason about since it greatly reduces the complexity and you can focus on the actual data changes rather than all the plumbing to change the data.
I'd much rather have strict privacy laws enforced with fines & bans than this type of ban by fiat.

It would also be much less of a geo-political issue if it had the weight of law instead of just policy behind it: Pointing to a specific violation of law is much easier to justify than a vague sense that something with the app & data collection is not right. (and statutes can be much more consistently applied than vaguely justified ad-hoc policies)
> I already proved to myself, exactly like I told you.

No, you didn't. You made a claim, and then stated it was true based on your description, not based on the results.

You're the person who is claiming it's faster. As I said above, The onus is on you to prove its faster, not me.

I've seen post flagged, but to my knowledge I've never seen an explanation or communication for why.

In this case, I agree fully. I was fed up arguing with someone who insists on being a downer at every turn & who recognizes no good-side, no upside, who denied every contribution blanketly. That doesn't excuse. Perhaps that kind of outburst does merit a lifetime ban forever & ever, but in my opinion, issuing a lifetime ban for this sort of thing is grossly immoral & radically intolerant. Yes, it is a mistake, yes it should be punished. But to exercise the death penalty in this case speaks extremely ill of moderation & process on the internet, not in any way unique to Hacker News, but in a manner we see pervasively & which is extremely damaging to us all.

I think you should re-assess your policies & system. I rarely even notice that my posts have been flagged. Moderation happens invisibly. I would like to see a way to view my flagged posts, so I can understand what is happening to my content. And so I can reflect better. Because right now, you've warning me that I've been warned before, but that does not process. Simply raising the fact that moderation has occurred is important, first step to making this moderation into feedback.

Second, this is the only time I can remember having any feedback to inform me. I appreciate that I was offered a grant here, that I did get feedback. My post on Larry Wall being made into fiat dictator of social media moderation was incredibly on target & hilarious, yet flagged. Ok? I don't get it.

But most of all, this threat to be banned: I find it grossly immoral that the threat of punishment online is forever. People should get banned for months, years, but banning people forever is absurd, vindictive, & cruel. I think you & all sites should seek a system that works for justice, to correct problems, to encourage behavior. This threat of being banned causes me pause, and I knew I was breaking the rules even without having read them in decades, but it also is just so disgusting, so vile, makes me so sad to be here. Living under the threat of the guillotine, feeling like the punishment is radically out of line, that screwing up is unforgivable: this is cruelty that makes me radically aware that these rules, they are judged by fiat & there is no system or process for enforcement, that I contribute here only under the pleasure of ya'll & that ya'll offer me nothing of my own. There should be a system for justice, because this threat feels unjust & it hurts.

- where are the contracts corresponding to revenue? Yeah they are an SMB SaaS but this is financial, there will be contracts, NDAs, etc

SMB, especially the small end of SMB, does not often have contracts. It's more subscription based. That said, there were 2 versions of the software running at NS8. One was the original software that Adam Rogas and a co-founder created early on. That version was rather "opaque" and reported growing customer numbers every month. The newer version of the software was controlled by the product dev team but still reliant on the original software in some key areas. Basically, everything was obfuscated well enough to confuse everyone to the point where answers of, "it's a limitation of the original software" were taken at face value.

- if the customers are fake there is no load on the system. How does engineering not figure that out?

There were real customers and the customer growth was happening, especially in 2020. The problem is that the customer base and growth was nowhere near what Adam Rogas was cooking up on the backend.

- How does no one see an insanely low COGs when paying the cloud services bills, or the lack of allocated resources when looking in the management interfaces?

COGs and other bills were kept relatively high. It's also why the company hired 200+ people, to make the story all the more believable.

- How does no one notice a complete lack of analytics or actions being generated by all the supposed customers?

Again, real numbers were difficult to gather for excuses given repeatedly by Adam Rogas and others charged with providing those numbers. I'm not saying that others were complicit in the scam, but that they were (at least) being fed the same excuses the rest were. Investments were never made to bring visibility to the customer metrics. Was this a red flag? Yes, but then why are investors giving NS8 so much money? It's hindsight 20/20.

- Managing cash flow would be very hard. Finance is going to see all this revenue coming in and want to scale. The VCs are going to want to see money being spent on marketing activities etc. to further the growth. If there’s no corresponding revenue being spent to acquire customers but tons of revenue coming in that’s a giant red flag

Right, so plenty of money was being spent across the board. There were 2 bank accounts according to the DOJ and SEC complaints. The account for "customer revenue" was solely controlled by Adam Rogas. The other account held the investment funds that paid all the bills. Is this super shady? Yep. And it seems there was an NS8 whistleblower who kicked off the initial SEC investigation and then the FBI getting involved as well.
There might have been some misunderstanding here because I don't think I implied in any shape or form that you have to share your life story?

Additionally, I never said you have gaps in your commentary -- I said that I am very interested in your laundry list of services that you'd like to see (since I am an aspiring future entrepreneur and such ideas for things people miss are very valuable to me).

And my question was only this: are you willing to share that wish list? You'd find an enthusiastic audience in me.
> I'm sure it's not great PR, but is it really likely this damages Apple in the long run?

Why would you base your income on their platform knowing how they treat their users and developers? Seems pretty harebrained to me. There's many ways to sell software which don't involve paying a third party for your own work.

It's easier to use Chrome for my work browser, so it only has a few dozen tabs open, but my primary home/sidejobs browser is Firefox, currently running at somewhere in the 1600-2000 tab range.
