Oh, by the way - talking about politics is definitely something I avoid. I grew up in a culture that was strongly in favour of being friends with people who are different from you, and this is one of the ways I try and achieve that (I have at least one friendship which I think would end if we started talking about politics, unless I were extremely careful and chose the right moment and so on). My friends generally know roughly what political directions I lean in, but I know a couple of things: I probably won't be able to change someone's mind on a political issue, and it's nevertheless important to have friends who have different politics from my own.

In fact, my general uncertainty regarding political action has largely stemmed from that sort of thing. For example, I personally know people who are rabidly in favour of Trump and people who are rabidly against him, and I know those people are all reasonable in other regards. This is what makes me so unsure that I'm right: of course I have an opinion, but I personally know reasonable people who differ. I really do not know whether a given political action is right; reasonable people can clearly be wrong about politics, even granting that I am a reasonable person! This is why voting is good in principle (though not necessarily in current implementation): it allows us to aggregate the knowledge and opinions of many uncertain participants.

To what extent is it worth risking a friendship by acting? That's something else on which otherwise-reasonable people genuinely differ - some will say "if a person holds evil views then you should expunge them from your life", and some will say "we are more alike than we are unalike". Of course, if a friendship is nice and solid, with good truth-seeking norms around discussing controversial things, then that kind of conversation is much less risky and so I'd be much more likely to hold it; but good epistemological norms aren't something I can impose on others (it takes two to tango). The safest way to do something I am quite confident is right (maintain friendships with people who are unlike me) is to avoid discussing politics. There is clear value in at least dropping hints of my own politics, so that my friends who disagree can realise that they have a friend who disagrees; but I fear that in some cases there is a rather tenuous social contract in place, which will pop like a bubble under excessive scrutiny.

This is the only policy I have yet found which is immune to [scissor statements](https://slatestarcodex.com/2018/10/30/sort-by-controversial/): to recognise such statements as being scissors, on which reasonable people may reasonably differ, and to mutually agree to avoid them unless you're in a particularly hygienic epistemological environment.
The difference is that you can vote for people who choose lawyers and they can influence what lawyers write. You dont have this much control in the EU.
Develop in debug mode, deploy in safe release mode, and when you're absolutely sure that everything is safe, you can switch to the fast release mode.

It is also possible to selectively disable/enable safety for individual code blocks.
Only if it's needed for giving the user functionality they explicitly request (i.e. after adding something to their basket, they implicitly accept a session cookie that's solely used to hold their basket content). That wouldn't extend to using that cookie for analytics or retargeting though.

https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-pecr/cookies-a...

So I'd argue it does need to be a specific reason, at least if you follow the ICO guidance (which is probably the best I've found for explaining what's required by the ePrivacy directive)

We have no plans if submitting a new build at this time, as we personally believe the build we currently have is already compliant.

As far as I know Mozilla doesn't sell any software licenses. They were almost entirely subsidized by Netscape from 1998 to 2003, then by Google from 2005 to 2014, and by a variety of search engines competing for Firefox default status since then. That kind of "cash cow" model gives you a lot more organizational freedom than software licensing.
Aqward!
My guess is that Apple disallows scripting because it is a clear boundary they can make which prevents an alternative way of loading programs(apps). They then whitelist in some kinds of apps that allow scripting, but that won’t compete with the App Store.

The WebView exception [edit: that used to exist] is from an older version of the agreement, but it helps indicate what they mean: “3.3.2 An Application may not download or install executable code. Interpreted code may only be used in an Application if all scripts, code and interpreters are packaged in the Application and not downloaded. The only exception to the foregoing is scripts and code downloaded and run by Apple’s built-in WebKit framework, provided that such scripts and code do not change the primary purpose of the Application by providing features or functionality that are inconsistent with the intended and advertised purpose of the Application as submitted to the App Store.”

If scripting were allowed, how would you or Apple ensure iSH doesn’t break any of the other 2.5.x clauses.

You are describing low margin mass market product. Tesla wont be able to make those for many years.
I think JavaScript/Clojurescript is the exception because they control the runtime and JIT: whether or not you buy their explanation, I think the reason they state is that this is to enable sandboxing. This is at least plausible to me: to have effective sandboxing, you need to restrict the APIs that a device can call, which means blocking the ability to generate and run arbitrary machine code on-device.
It's going to be a real strategy to write your code in releasesafe, identify hot code, and mark it off as releasefast on a function by function basis
> Governments have all sorts of things like machine guns, tanks, and battleships that (rightfully) aren't allowed for the general public.

You have listed three things which are all really the same thing. There is no objection to private ownership of motor vehicles or ships. You object to the weaponry.

But we can put aside the whole right to bear arms debate in this case because there is an obvious way to distinguish it. Encryption is a purely defensive technology.

It is totally illegitimate for a government to prohibit things like armor and electromagnetic shielding, even if some of them do, because these things only defend, they do not attack.
I still think there’s space for both companies but I hope EVs win. ICE car manufacturers have coasted for decades on blissful ignorance of externalities and 2020 just saw the world on fire across the globe.

Coincidence? No, I don’t think so. People know our fossil fuel obsession has cost us dearly.

Plus EVs have much better maintenance profiles other than just saving money in gas.

An enormous problem with laws of this nature is that they create a large new category of contraband. It is worse than drug laws in that this is invisible, weightless contraband that can be instantly delivered anywhere. Defending yourself against accusations that you posses this kind of contraband will be devilishly difficult. Inevitably that will be used to make false accusations, often against vulnerable minorities.

JavaScript Tooling to the Rescue
iSH is awesome. I've been using the beta for about a year (or more) and have provided some feedback to Theodore a few times. This eventuality was almost certain because of the App Store restrictions that have been in place since before the iSH project was launched. In this way, Apple sucks. They have complete control over what an app can and cannot do. There is no alternative (besides jailbreaking) to the Apple App Store for iOS apps. This is part of the deal that you should know about when you buy an iOS product.

I’m on my first gig involving front-end now, with ExtJS 3.4. A few years before I joined (was able to observe the team from a periphery) they tried using Sencha’s 3.x-to-4.0 migration tool, which left the app in a state still needing attention to every LoC. The post-Idera layoffs aren’t making 6.x look too attractive.
Safari isn't even all that different from Chrome in terms of its rendering engine; after all, Blink is just a further development of WebKit.

That said, there is a bright side of a browser engine monoculture: JavaScript will finally meet its very long-overdue demise. Google could implement Dart or an evolution of that language (they tried this around 2010, but Blink wasn't on 95% of [desktop] computers back then) and kill off JS overnight, since if every browser supports it by default, there's no reason not to use it over JS.

The massive downside, of course, is that Google also has the ability to design its browser so that extensions that perform adblocking can't run, and that'll be everywhere too- though I suspect that the number of people who would pay the price of a VPN connection a month for a modern browser with guaranteed ad-blocking support is quite large provided there's no other choice.
The big difference between the US and EU is that most EU countries have instituted a much stronger populist response (eg 80% wages for unemployment that is still ongoing).

Of course people are more supportive if their livelihoods and mortgages aren’t at risk.
> This is at least plausible to me: to have effective sandboxing, you need to restrict the APIs that a device can call, which means blocking the ability to generate and run arbitrary machine code on-device.

This isn't true. You can sandbox arbitrary machine code by restricting the process it runs in (this is how seccomp works on Linux).

I've even had Apple calling me back for consumer stuff.

When I had a battery issue I called them and they called back with instructions on where to send it to it fixed.

Their whole phone support system is kind of weirdly different, at least in the countries I used it (South America and Europe). It doesn't have call-centre noise, the accent matches the region I'm calling from, and the person on the other side seems to have WAY more freedom to go off-script and even joke with us. It's almost like calling a friend.

I guess that's why the products are expensive.

What you describe is known as 'give face'. I'm white, but my ex is chinese and so i have spent a lot of time in those circles and what you write is pretty accurate.

I knew a girl, who had a minimum wage job, but bought her boyfriend a $300 sweater simply to show his parents she had money.. I asked about it, and she pretty much told me it came down to "give face".

i think it is this: "面子" and as others have written, one of the more difficult concepts for western culture to fully understand.

Citing the maximum possible fine here does essentially nothing to convince me of that fact.

> You're arguing past each other. The amount of information transmitted is 1 bit.

I don't understand the argument here.

In order to get up to one bit of information, you need to take account of the fact that "yo" is only sent at particular times. If you ignore that fact, sending "yo" provides exactly zero bits of information, because it is the only possible message. All of the information content comes from the existence of the message; none of it comes from the contents.

So in order to claim that there's any information present at all, you have to admit that time of sending carries information. The amount of information carried then depends on the duration over which messages might have been transmitted, since that possibility is what imbues information into messages that are transmitted. It also imbues information into messages that aren't transmitted, unless you believe that a binary message of 01000110 transmits just 3, and not 8, bits of information.
But isn't that boring old tech which is easily replicated in a DIY project, or copied by competitors? What makes it special?
Yup, call “collect” from a pay phone.

For the unfamiliar, the collect call recording asked for your name and played it back to the call recipient. You had a a small window whereby you could get info across.

“You have a collect call from ‘555 4784’, would you like to accept the charges?”

Then whoever could just call you back.

The real power was unlocked with a Blue Box - a phone phreaking device that played the same tones as if money was entered into the pay phone. You could trick the phone and make your call. I remember looping the tone on a cassette tape and calling some random number in Japan for several dollars worth of tones. Good times.
All they really need to hide from the local cops is an app that appears to be something else. A quick google search for "disguised encrypted chat app" found one called CoverMe that can disguise itself as a photo album. There are probably more sophisticated options available now, and there will be an explosion of them if the EU bans encrypted chat apps.

With a marginally more sophisticated user, they can get far more hidden. The Android anti-theft app Cerberus, before the company behind it imploded spectacularly, could be installed as a system app on any rooted device, then hide itself until a user-specified code was entered on the phone dialer. If there isn't already an encrypted chat app with that feature, there surely will be after an EU ban. The barrier to entry is not high.

I'll grant it would likely result in a small number of gang members spending a greater percentage of their lives in jail, but that's not a lot of benefit for an extremely high cost.

I see this as follows:

1. Terrorism and trafficking of children will win the moral high ground.

2. App stores will be forced locale by locale to conform to these policies.

3. Most people will not notice or care.

4. This will be used by N-Eyes and totalitarian governments to quash dissent.

5. Meanwhile the tech crowd will create alternate app distribution mechanisms allowing those who care to communicate securely.

6. Those secure methods will be used by people with the most to lose. (e.g. the drivers of point 1)

Given this predictable series of events I see the primary question as: How do we prevent (4)? How can we make people secure by default again and make adoption easy in the face of app store capture.
When, exactly, did they say that? I read it every month.
What the Biden presidency will mean for tech
https://altstore.io/faq/

Why do you need my Apple ID?

Apple allows anyone with an Apple ID to install apps they’ve built themselves onto their devices for testing. AltStore uses your Apple ID to communicate with Apple's servers on your behalf and perform the necessary steps to prepare your account for installing apps onto your device.

Why does it say my apps will expire in 7 days?

Unfortunately, apps that have been installed using non-developer Apple IDs (in other words, Apple IDs not tied to a $99/year Apple developer account) are only valid for 7 days, at which point they will no longer open. To compensate for this, AltStore will periodically attempt to refresh your apps in the background, and you can always manually refresh your apps from within AltStore.
