>Not happening if it were an encrypted Android device with a high-entropy password.

because you have to balance security with usability. iPhones use its security chip to slow/prevent password guessing. that allows you to use a weak password without losing much security, but if that system is compromised you're back to square one. I'm sure if you used a high entropy password on ios, they wouldn't be able to get access either.

Which sites? Does the connection page show have a more detailed certificate error message? Does the site work in Chrome?
Sure. I don't want Spotlight making network requests on a filesystem search.
It's funny how Neumann got kicked out of WeWork, and how much backlash WeWork received since, when most PE firms pull the same shit every single time. It's either the hollow-out-and-destroy playbook, or the raise-prices-then-sell-back-to-government playbook for all of these firms. Glad to have left that world.

Oh, then there's the milk-as-much-as-you-can-from-govt playbook. An example, SL Green, which advertises itself as NY's largest commercial real estate firm, applied for the federal aid package as a "small business".

HTTP Shell - a modern alternative to http clients for interacting with APIs.
HTTP Shell is a tool that provides developers a modern alternative to HTTP clients for interacting with APIs. Let's see it as something between a raw command line tool, like curl or httpie, and a more user friendly REST client, like Postman. It's built on top of IBM's open source Kui framework.
That's good news. That was one of the things for which I had to switch to Chrome.
> bringing the OS layer under their complete control

To me, it seems the purpose is almost always to protect the average user from malware. What do you think their reasoning is?
> Because as Apple well knows, once you make a backdoor, someone will figure out a way to exploit it.

I can't help but see this as the real reasoning behind the change. With EARN-IT on on the table and antitrust cases looming, they've got every reason to bend over and give governments whatever access they can.
Which to me means that these templates/themes are at risk of starting to look stale sooner rather than later.
I wonder if it would make sense for Little Snitch to continue supporting their kext-based solution in parallel to the new one, possibly only for users who are willing to disable SIP.

You might argue that disabling SIP for a security product defeats the point, but I'm not sure if that's necessarily true. SIP effectively delegates trust away from the user and towards Apple, which is fine as a default—but the calculus may be different for experienced users, like the ones who use Little Snitch.

Maybe if you block it randomly renders your OS inoperable and you won’t know why. Example iCloud login, could be a few obscure network calls. You would then call Apple and ask wtf if you are some noob blocking everything. This isn’t old days where there could be zero dependence on the net for critical function.
Why do you assume it isn't a programming error?

> Look at your local DMV.

This is IMO the only part of your response I disagree with.

In most of the OECD, DMVs are wonderful, or at least, functional and expedient. In most developed countries, government work is considered a public service job, and respected, appreciated and well paid. 30% of Norway, Sweden, Denmark and 25% of Finland is employed by the government.

The DMV being the most utterly soul sucking place on earth has little to do with being a monopoly, but rather, Americans belief that the government is worthless, manifest. People - and services - tend to behave the way you expect them to, and this is no exception. While not a uniquely American phenomenon, it's not a function of being a monopoly.

As you'll see virtually all Ontario DMV equivalents (ServiceOntario, broader in scope than the DMV, handling health card issuance, birth certificates, and a many other government services [2]) have wait times under 20 minutes [1]. They also do manage complaints quite effectively via the Ombudsman program [3], and as a last resort, fold neatly under media pressure.

There's tons of tiny companies with terrible customer service. Maybe "monopoly" implies "bad customer service", but the other direction certainly doesn't hold. It sounds like you're suggesting the implication works the other way round.

>again, if the UK had no airforce, they wouldn't have had air superiority. Which meant that the german airforce could have dominated the channel and harassed the British navy.

Its a matter of perception, force projection through the use of Radar meant Britain could spread what was left of the RAF in a manner that made the Germans think they were much larger than they were, when truth be told another month or so targeting the RAF instead of cities and they would have had that air superiority.

>Second, should they take a port, they have to keep it stocked up with fuel, ammo and arms.

Not really, they captured Paris in a few days, London would've been quicker.
But I doubt it would have come to that, if Britain hadn't known the invasion was cancelled they would most surely have surrendered.

Tim Cook's Apple Inc is really a nightmare. Sure we have sleek shiny laptops and devices that are amazingly powerful but at what cost? I still haven't found a trackpad as good as MagicTrackpad sadly otherwise I'd ditch the MacBook Pro.

To be fair to Apple though, it's their OS, they can do what they want and we agree every time we update MacOS or iOS. It's crazy to me that we basically only have 3 phone device choices, 2.15 environment choices (OS wise... Linux Desktop is crap, but getting better), and only 2 choices in GPU's, CPU's, etc...

What can we do about this?
The two paragraphs in the middle about how it gets harder as you get older is exactly the problem I'm having right now. Your standards rise, which is generally good, and you have fewer long blocks of time. Both of these problems are from success both professionally and personally e.g. good career and happy family.

Cloud security is killing datacenter security
Well, that's part of the point. Governments have been doing mass collections for decades and a lot of that might be cleartext. As far as I know this has not lead to random hackers obtaining great access. So it's preposterous to claim that backdoored E2EE would universally enable that[0]. E2EE does in large part protect from governments and other powerful players and it should be okay to say that.

Again, that said, if Facebook was to offer plaintext and backdoored E2EE messaging, the backdoored version would still be a strict improvement security wise.

[0] as noted, with exception of some systems that might provide easy access to everybody's data by design.

Linux on the desktop and Linux on the laptop (heh) has definitely improved. It _sometimes_ needs a little tweaking to get it right, but KDE/Plasma also happens to offer that level of "tweakability" that should satisfy almost all semi-mainstream users (at least anyone coming from Windows or Mac).

Compared to my first Linux laptop (a Sony Vaio circa 2000), my current XPS 13 works as well as any Mac laptop I have ever owned, and all the hardware that you would "expect" to work (but probably didn't work as smoothly 10 or 20 years ago) Just Works (WiFi, external displays, excellent battery life/sleep, etc...)

Based on the complaints I have heard about Apple hardware and MacOS over the past few years, I'd even argue that Linux-on-the-desktop isn't any less stable or harder to get working than a Mac.
I could be convinced, but given Google's behavior they've lost the presumption of good faith, and the bar of evidence required to convince me that this is an accident is much higher than it would be normally.

For OVH I tried a lot of things, disabling extensions (one by one, and all of them), using a blank (firefox) profile, the usual cache/cookie invalidation, disabling various privacy protection enhancements (one by one and all of them), etc. Chrome worked.

Unsurprising. It's a hype bubble; it seems like only VCs and executives haven't realized that yet.

It has however become a very good metric for spotting low quality technical leadership. If an executive or similar is talking about "AI" or "Machine Learning" without the ability to identify specific use cases that they're hoping to implement, then that is a huge red flag. AI, as much as it actually exists, is a tool to be applied to an end, not magic pixie dust to be sprinkled onto your product to make it more profitable.
You're absolutely correct, I misread the original comment and doubled-down rather than double-checking, which is my fault. I was thrown off by the reference to the "OS space" in your comment.

Dune is a story about a chosen son of nobility, coming from a very Europe-like planet to rule over a very Middle East-like planet where everything has Arabic-sounding names. He is somehow instantly accepted as a messiah by the local band of noble savages and, along with his family’s mercenaries, leads them in a “holy war” against his personal enemies in an effort to climb the political ladder.

It’s got some cool imagery, but it’s not like some kind of profound wisdom that needs to be safeguarded.

This is far from an easy problem - I have been struggling with this over the past few years. tools like pdftotext only work with the most simply formatted documents. In contrast, the typical PDFs generated in many business organizations is almost impossible to extract text from, especially with insets, callouts and multiple columns. Amazon's Textract is one of the best PDF text extractors out there and even that struggles with many ordinary looking PDFs
This isn't the part of Nokia you're thinking of, which made handsets. That business was sold to Microsoft in a very dubious deal, and Microsoft promptly ran it into the ground.

Nokia is one of the three main players in the cell phone infrastructure market. The others are Ericsson and Huawei. There are a couple of smaller players too like Samsung and ZTE.

Nokia seems like a very reasonable choice for this contract. The Chinese players were presumably out for (mostly) political reasons. So this was probably a 2 way race with Ericsson.

The internet frequently serves as a neural prosthetic. Millions or billions of men (and probably at least millions of women) routinely imagine women naked. Therefore it is inevitable, if not suppressed, for the internet to assist in this common neural task.

That doesn't make it right. Murder and rape are are also common brain intermediated tasks that the internet is used to assist. But it would only be surprising if this wasn't happening.
Yes, template strings was a clean start.

Of course prototype based language is simpler than class based. Ruby system is more complex. It provides more tools — Class, Module, class and instance methods, variables (as depicted on the picture). You've asked eigenclass (singleton_class these days), that's Class:a -> A, very simple concept.

And yet Ruby inheritance is much easier, it is all around and it just works. No one does this in JavaScript, too complex. There were many attempts of building OOP people could understand on top of JavaScript in 200x. No one does this for Ruby.

As someone who uses Linux as my primary workstation I disagree. My coworkers that use Mac or Windows seem to have about the same number of issues overall. I mean- look at the article this is about. I’m pretty confident that would be much harder to get away with in the Linux community. Gnome shell is more polished than windows or macOS were at the same age.

Yev here -> Good question! The ops team may have a different theory, but I think it's when they die! We still have 15k 4TB HGST drives in our fleet that are crushing the game, and have been for years. That said, we'll eventually migrate off of them to get more density, but so long as we're not cramped for space, we tend to keep high-performing drives in our fleet for as long as we can. There is a math equation that flips after a certain point where we can get a lot more density by replacing those smaller-capacity drives - so that tends to be the other main driver for migrating the fleet.

I need to reread her, as well, as I cannot make my memory of her writing work entirely with this power-as-consensus claim.

Your "two levers," I think are interesting in that coercion is, in my experience of popular political argumentation, allowed to sneak in via a societal focus on physical violence ("force" in your terms?).

Example: some leftists claim property violence is not violence because, paraphrasing, is does not harm the human body. Leaving aside the validity of this claim, the coerciveness of the act remains but is somehow able to pass the smell test in certain circles. I think this depends on one's perception of conflict, but that is a long discussion.

Meanwhile, as you imply above, deception is clearly coercion, but much more effective in the longrun than physical violence. Deception generates belief congruent with the deceivers' attempt to acquire (more) power, which, once established, requires less maintenance than fear.

Finally, there is nothing in the description of power as cited above that is necessarily free from coercion. If power simply means both individual and collective agency, then capturing agency via coercion is still an acquisition of power.

>No not really, but limited is the mindset of peoples.

I'd argue options really are limited. Your counter argument assumes one can just roll their own OS with the same features and functionality as current-gen OS's. That's quite a leap. Options today are Windows, Mac, or some flavor of Linux if you can get it to work. Linux aside, Windows and Mac both are making it so you no longer own the OS but are "subscribed" to it. Making it easy for them to implement anti-consumer strategies to lock you in.

> The question absolutely is whether Apple can be trusted.

This is a false dichotomy. I choose to use a Mac, but I also choose not to let my Mac phone home to Cupertino unless I allow it. Why can't I have that choice? Why does it have to be all or nothing? I'm only interested in the Mac, I have zero interest in Apple "services". It's a fine computing device, but I see no reason why the device has to continue to talk to Apple after I purchase it, except to download software updates — which I manually trigger.

It's not about trust, it's about choice.

EDIT: Now if Apple provided a way to easily disable all of those "services" that phone home, there would be a lot fewer complaints about this issue. But they don't.

I bet you're right. For me on Linux with Firefox as my main driver:

Chromium startup to empty page: 7 seconds.
Firefox startup to page populated with tabs: 3 seconds.

It's worse though - since I don't often reboot and I have Firefox running almost all the time the effective start up time for Firefox for me might as well be zero.

Perhaps oddly, I've never perceived Firefox as slow - but I'd be the first to admit that I use it only for rather mundane purposes, so maybe there are use cases where it would be deficient.
