The point is that until it's well-defined, we don't actually know, so people will wiggle in doubt if they want to.

Poor definitions enable people to present the data differently depending on their biases and agendas. We should want to prevent that not by grounds of "you're crazy," but by making the definitions non-interpretable.

What you describe solves a problem that is not the problem that Stripe solves.

The problem you described is far, far simpler than the problem Stripe solves.
Are Asian Americans privileged? For example, would you say that Vietnamese refugees and descendants of trafficked Chinese railroad laborers have been celebrated and given unfair advantages by white society?
She is in Stockholm. She went to some clinic and they told her to come back next Thursday. Maybe it is because she is not Swedish.
Really curious to know how you found out about bputil. It doesn’t seem to appear in the WWDC session you linked.

Haha my principles are few but those I do hold up.

For things like computers though, I don't tend to hold a big grudge - I do whatever is the most comfortable and productive.

I have the opinion that if someone have too many principles, either they'll suffer an unhappy life or they will end up violating many of it.
I had not read these before, but they are fascinating. For instance, this powerful argument[0] against the Electoral College is still made, nearly verbatim, today.

Well it would be pretty good information to have to do analysis against.

You could easily see knowing how often an app is used on an OS to be useful business information if apple wanted to create software to get into a trend before it gets to big.

Of course that doesn't require fine grained time data just daily would be more than good enough.

However you could also see the business use of knowing if two pieces of software are often used together or sequentialy which could inform creating an all in one/integrated experience that would do well in a market. So you need that finer application timing.

Of course that doesn't require tying it to a particular user account,not even a device ID, just a sessionID that changes each time the device restarts would probably be granular enough.

However since we've got that other stuff in place per device wouldn't it be great to see if there's a correlation between people using an app on there Mac and using it or another App on there iphone, ipad, or watch. What piece of data can we include to match up a user across all their devices? Maybe some kind of obfuscated or derived userID.

Of course you'd hope that other interests such as a commitment to privacy would rule out the use of such a dataset. If Apple did have such a dataset then you'd hope they'd be doing whatever processes (social, business, and technical) it can to obfuscate and seperate how that dataset is tied to a specific user.

The only real argument against Apple not having it is the balance between the cost of creating/exploiting such a data set, the expected profit, and the legal and reputational costs of such behaviour.
As a high BMI individual, I'm fully in support of instituting minimal hiring and promotion quotas for fat people. Given that there's "obesity epidemic" going on, I propose we set it at 50% to ensure that there's no systemic discrimination. No fewer than 50% of people on corporate boards should be fat, also. /s
If I'm deciding what library to use, I'm not only concerned with whether it meets my needs today, but also whether it will meet my needs in a year or two. I don't necessarily know what those will be but I want to know that the core libraries I'm relying on will keep up with the industry so that my application isn't left behind without a costly rewrite.

Just as a simple example, if my competition is using a non-dead rendering library and their UI is twice as fast as mine as a result, I'm not going to be happy.

I agree with you, but that doesn't seem to be what's happening here. It looks like people are contributing, but that the contributors are realizing that the maintainers/leaders have all vanished.

So really there are 3 possible outcomes here:

1. the contributors pressure one of the maintainers to come back,

2. the contributors get in touch with one of the maintainers and convince them to promote some contributors to maintainers, or

3. the contributors fork Cairo, because they can't get a maintainer involved.

The email comes from a contributor, who is effectively saying "last call for (1) or (2), and then I'm doing (3)".
That's not true at all. You can use recovery mode to trivially revert back to the OS that was installed when the computer was purchased. If that's pre-Mojave then you can just upgrade back to Mojave afterwards.
This is all true; OCSP-stapling is the thing these days.

But these browsers won't trust a cert if it can't be found a Certificate Transparency log. Yes, a cert should be in at least two of them but if there's a networking problem or infrastructure issue, you're SOL.
Accepting security fixes isn't sufficient to keep software secure.

In the past few years X.org had some major ancient holes discovered. If the authors of the fixes hadn't bothered writing the fixes, I doubt many other people would have stepped up.
The amount of time you save by having a computer that "just works" 99%+ of the time is far greater than the occasional time lost by shit like this.

I'd love it if someone other than Apple made a competent PC that was as clean, reliable, and comparatively free of bullshit. Unfortunately Apple has a monopoly on cleanly designed computers.
Yes, overused statements; but all true nevertheless.

For those not familiar with it, the fable is that the scorpion asks the frog to help it cross a river, it stings the frog, the frog asks why since they'll both drown, the scorpion says it's my nature to do so.

A corporation's nature is determined by their business model.

If you want to apply that fable to, say, Apple's relationship with independent repair shops, I'd 100% agree.

> They don’t have any significant advertising business.

This refutes that they're the scorpion in this relationship.
> I mean, what's the end goal?

Maximize profits!

> If i want success and you give me a choice of "improve what you do" or "improve what you look like" for the same result, I'll take the first one every time.

In doing so, you are then neglecting the diminishing marginal returns: spend say the equivalent of 1 month or time (or earning from your work) on learning 10 times in a row will yield less than doing that 9 times + improving your appearance once (or twice, you get the idea...)

> I know that people around me care on a deeper level than a lie of appearance

Whilst I do welcome a vaccine, I do worry about the safety of the vaccine. We have been told my medical professionals months and months ago that a vaccine is likely to take years, not just to develop a vaccine but also for testing and trails.

Now we're hearing it might be early next year? I understand that the focus to prepare a vaccine might have been greater. I do hope I can have a level of confidence in the drug being successful with little side effects if any.

Interview with Apple's VP Platform Arch about M1 [video]
How is this different from the case of a dude with a big CD collection and a copier who tell his friends "bring blank cds and burn copies if you want anything"?

Who would they sue, how would they monitor the usage and how would they enforce anything?

With torrents and big sites it's easy to show who is distributing what and the distribution can be done by anyone.

This is a decentralized tool that can have its access controlled. The only you could get sued is if you have a really shitty friend who goes to court and brings evidence showing you distributed too many songs.
Apple Silicon is all the hype now. And I'm on the train.

Does anyone have a good blog post to explain what the new architecture is, how it works, what's it's status right now and so on?
> While those prices seem pretty good for first world countries, many of the people in my country don't make more than $1000 per month, so it'd still be a substantial investment.

That price is just the benchmark for that specific combination of CPUs and RAM.

When I wrote this comment the link pointed to the cairographics.org homepage, not Matthias' email.
I remember when Gmail came out the spam filtering was so good people commented about how they finally felt comfortable sharing their email in public again. Not anymore, I guess.

It makes me sad that email as a system has gotten so wildly out of control that users feel the only way to protect themselves is to hide their address. Clearly the spammers have won.

I'm actually surprised there hasn't been more email innovation over the last decade. Surely we can do better here so our reaction to something like this isn't anxiety.

Same here. 20 years on python and I've never done anything more than clone a repo, venv and pip install -r requirements. And then cd && python -m to run the source code, maybe set PYTHONPATH in some cases.

I don't think I've even written a setup.py .

Obviously there's a whole world of development and deployment where these things are relevant, but there's also a massive world where nobody even understands what they are missing.
Not so much in macos but in ios safari is our constant pain. Most bugs we get are in ios and most of the times are because of bugs in safari engine and are unfixable.

Exactly. Today was the first day when I knew this was possible. If I had been buying a computer a month ago, this would not have been a factor in my calculations whatsoever, because I didn't know it was even a possibility to consider.

A month from now? Different story.
Not only is Face ID only stored in the one secure Apple chip (and not uploaded to Apple), but I'm fairly certain that the face identification that you linked is also only stored on your device as well.

Maybe it's changed, but I think that if you get a new device, it basically has to reindex all the faces iirc. Or maybe it's only stored in your own personal iCloud.
HP to Apple: "Please revoke this certificate"

Apple: "Okay done"

Lapcatsoftware: "Apple is to blame for revoking this certificate"

How is Apple supposed to know that the certificate has not been compromised? When I ask my CA to revoke a certificate I don't have to explain why to them, they just do it. They are my consequences to bear.
What the Python ecosystem actually needs is a single opinionated perspective on versioning that is followed by everyone, such as NPM's semantic versioning. In the absence of that I don't see how dependency resolution and thus packaging is ever going to improve in Python.

This isn't a personal accusation, but your post reads exactly like the attackers described in the article - brand other things as nanotech, and attack the original vision. What can anyone else take from it?

True molecular assembly might never happen, but it's not clear that advances in 'room at the bottom' ideas of nanotech wouldn't have happened, had there been a larger research effort. Advances in using silicon lithographic techniques to produce machines on a micro-scale are pretty amazing - I'm fascinated by the idea of the MIT micro gas turbine (apparently the scaling is such that an aircraft skin covered in micro-turbines could be comparably efficient to macro-scale engines) but I don't think the research has progressed since the early 2000s.
Exactly I'll keep doing the creative work and let the brick laying happen on UpWork. If they confuse me for one of those then it's their loss and I'm moving on
loved safari for a long time now. people, especially the privacy focused set, do not give it enough credit.

the showstopper for me is lack of profiles. you can effectively have 2 profiles, one for 'safari' and one for the dev or preview edition. there's a very expensive (>$10) cookie switcher extension that would have the ability to effectively create profiles, but the need for that has escaped them. i actively inquired maybe 18 months ago and they had no inkling to work on that.

the other thing i like about recent chrome is the ability to have an extension only activate on click. this gives you a much higher assurance about it's safety.
You'd buy an android phone. Android phones remain general purpose computers - you can write software that runs on the device, using nothing but the device (and a tool like AIDE, which is on the Play store, and a website you can install it from).

For me, seeing a grossly unhealthy doctor -- be it obesity or a drug addiction like smoking -- wouldn't exactly instill confidence.
> You realize that you literally have to turn off the network connection completely to prevent dozens of companies from getting this information every waking moment

I do. (A look at my comment history would show I know quite a bit about networking.)

Again, the question being addressed, or actually the assertion being challenged, was: "hashes of the binaries I run don't exactly reveal any sensitive personal information about me"

I replied to show that those hashes do reveal that information.

But I threw in that how the hashes are sent (revealing the IP constantly) also reveals sensitive and personal information.

You might think that's inevitable, maybe so trivial it doesn't merit a mention. But in fact it isn't. It's purely a consequence of a technical decision. There are many ways Apple could perform the hash check without revealing your ephemeral IP to Apple.

Still, you asked what I thought was "how does sending your hash to Apple reveal where you go?".

Since you asked, I answered.

But perhaps I misunderstood your question, and you were asking how does Apple having the hash reveal where you are, not the act of sending it to them.

Fair enough.
It writes to `.git/config` in the local repo. (.git/ is ignored by default, obviously.)
Little Snitch is working under Catalina, I have blocked apple telemetry all the way. My graphic workflow is on multi platform apps, people are using Figma instead of Sketch, coding for web is beautiful under Linux, Resolve and Blender are working beautifully (I don't use prores). The only hassle will be Windows (under WM) with no internet and Logic (searching to switch to new DAW but not with subscription based licensing like ProTools). Apple is actively working on making developers "go away", the days of "Great Mac for developers" are gone. Bottomline: Users of Apple platform are exited, they will have powerful machines with M-soc, closed and secured.:)
Racial groups are themselves not homogeneous.

There are plenty of eg, black doctors who raise privileged black children, and plenty of eg, poor rural whites who grew up in poverty.

Race-based affirmative action based on race doesn't do a good job of addressing the systemic problems with economic opportunity, and just causes rifts within society.
I don’t think it matters. In general people that do harm to others in any way believe their actions are justified. It’s not special to racism, humans as a whole are pretty averse to causing unjustified harm to others.
What a lot of people seem to gloss over is that the southern hemisphere is, for the most part, blissfully uninvolved in nuclear politics and unlikely to be targeted. Global wind patterns would dump most of the fallout in the northern hemisphere. Google and Facebook would be gone because there are too many primary data centers in the northern hemisphere but Wikipedia might not even go down. Humanity on the historical level would notice a strange blip.

Not discounting the terrible loss of life (I'd be dead along with everyone I know and love) but lesswrong is generally concerned with existential risk, not whether global GDP will be X in 100 years.

True, but ARM, and apple in particular have been willing to discard compatibility with previous generations. I believe the M1 for instance is not 32 bit compatible. ARM also was willing to do some house cleaning when they designed the 64 bit architecture.

X86-64s on the other hand have compatibility not just to 32 bit, but also 16 bit. You can still boot dos 1.0 if you wanted.
An observation on this discussion so far:

> Leave it on Git, accept pull requests, check it once a week/month, you're good.

That's exactly it, this is essentially a contributor saying "hey, there are a bunch of contributions, can a maintainer please check in this month?" If you don't check in once a week/month, then you're not good.

Tell that to the cis-white-male who was raised on a trailer park by a single mom when you explain to him why he doesn't get a scholarship though. Not everyone who's white or male is in a position of relative privilege. Affirmative action can create new forms of injustices as well. Somehow nowadays we think that deciding who gets what on the basis of sex and skin color is A-OK, because we're doing it right, we're doing it for the greater good... What could possibly go wrong?
Firefox has historically checked OCSP by default everywhere but for Firefox mobile, where it was only checked for EV certs.

With the introduction of CRLite, the default is disabled, but those using Firefox with internal-use private CAs on local networks can renable via preferences, which can also be controlled by enterprise policies and tooling.

I just ordered one, and let me tell you something - I didn't expect this to happen.

If I knew - I might still have ordered one, because I like ARM and battery life. But this reaffirms the observed trend of Apple becoming more of an owner of the machine that supposedly I own.

I'll attempt to shut it down (at least now, it still observes /etc/hosts) - but when I can no longer do that, I'll leave Apple forever, hopefully by then other hardware manufacturers have caught up in UX.
That is a strategic option. Given the interplanetary shuttle capacity Earth has now (read: zero), doing one-way trips is the quickest and less costly way to find if Mars can be settled. Volunteers are told they would be risking their lives, because doing round trips is unfeasible yet.

Establishing round trips from Earth to Mars would need several Space Xs to finance it, or that the current one thrives for some decades more. Governments are not interested on it if it doesn't translate to votes.
The iron is the shitty no-code, low-code solutions and I imagine it'll follow the same path the iron has. It hasn't changed much, it does the job, but if you want your stuff to look really good you take it to a specialist, AKA a dry cleaner who follows on the facade a similar process that is in reality entirely different.
Sometimes you'll find the commit in the sign off message of the DCO. Not sure if your gem handles that (it didn't look like it did with its GraphQL)
The account name also explicitly describes itself as throwaway, so the combination of those seems worth hitting hard.
That's different mindset — ability to fix, right to repair. No way to comfortably run another OS on MacBook, has to use macOS. It is closed source, users at mercy of the company. Think different.
Steam has its own set of issues where they control what you get to play, and when.

I feel like I've "bought" a ton of games through Steam, and now that my kids are a bit older, they want to play some of them. Unfortunately they can't play different games at the same time - even with Steam's family sharing. When one person plays a game, it locks the whole game library.

Asian-American encompasses an very diverse set of experiences in America, you can’t really create a cohesive narrative in the same way you could with other groups. The fact that you easily identify different groups with very distinct experiences should clue you in to that.
WTF? Half the pool was considered viable based on swipe percentages. You seem unable to properly comprehend even basics communicated.

Further, the most superficial experience highest success. That is, they are most likely to lie.

A high percentage of viable matches is uncommon. 1/2 minimally mutually satisfying match * 1/2 at least not unattractive * 1/2 reciprocating attractiveness = 1 out of 8 random pairings find each other minimally mutually satisfying and at least not unattractive (by their own measure of what that is; whether aesthetics, social status, money, etc).

Truth.
