I am about to delete Google Maps on my iPhone.

Are all those issues valid on an iPhone as well or does Apple limit it‘s privacy evading features?

Edit: Done. Deleted it.

Now if only I had an alternative to Garmin Connect. Love my fitness watch (Garmin Fenix), but hate the way they collect data about me. And no alternative.
Just using GMail could help Google to find your approx. location 7/24. Your phone checking emails all the time, so google knows your ip.

What's the secret of the performance? Especially interested to see that it is written in Go.
True enough! To me the true unrealized potential of these frameworks is abstracting away where and how exactly all the Rails/Laravel/Elixir business logic runs. If something need to run on the client, I want the framework to create the necessary JS of my backend code for me.

While I am sure there is a shit load of edge cases that would make this very hard to fully solve for all cases, I feel like a generic promise-like-structure shared between backend and frontend would already go a long way here.
How about all the data which map apps are asking for now (and in the past but for which they now have permissions):

- WiFi network access (tightened up in recent mobile OS') which can give you a pretty accurate location

- Photo roll (think of all that EXIF location data if you're giving photo roll access to leave images for reviews)

- Calendar/location integration (who else is scheduled to go to that meeting on your calendar which you're directing yourself to via your maps app)

- Bluetooth for all the BTLE beacons you're walking past in stores etc which have been gifted them for free from tracking companies

I'm not taking a moral standpoint here on whether it's right to collect this data, just pointing out that there's an order of magnitude more than the article describes.
They clearly said feel, not fact.
> One by one all these things became free

Science fiction, right there.
This reads like a description of a pretty awful dystopia. Or at least one where everything might seem great, until it isn't.

And when it turns, turning it back is HARD / near impossible.

Do people read this and think that is the sort of life they would want in the future?

What really got me mad was when these jerks tied saved places to enabling location history.

I used google maps as a sort of address book starring the homes of friends, family, work locations, interesting places, etc. One day I turned off all the tracking and location history crap and had zero issues. Then one day I couldn't see any of my saved locations. What? I did some research and found out that a recent update now requires you to enable location history. WTF! Their brain damaged logic is the location you saved was done in the past so it stands to reason that it's part of history! Of course that's not really the reason, the reason is to force people to turn location history back on.

Bullet, meet foot.

Well, if the blogpost that taught you how to fix your car has an elementary mistake that the author refuses to acknowledge and gets super defensive about, it's sure time to take a step back. Does it mean all blogs are bad? Of course not. But if you have the option of listening to a world-renowned mechanic instead, for free, I'd say you should.

It's true. The Big TypeScript lobby has been secretly working for years on a product called TypeScript Enterprise Edition. Many jobs will be created to support all those AbstractVirtualFactoryManagers.

I have watched a number of reviews comparing the new Air to the Pro. The CPU performance increase isn't noticeable in most cases, and the Pro still offers better pencil latency and display refresh rate (plus camera/lidar, but probably most don't care).

I wouldn't buy a Pro now because I would wait for the next version, but I wouldn't trade a current Pro for a new Air just for the CPU bump...
While I personally prefer React 90% of the time, I would say with its deep RxJS integration Angular has its merits. Sure, it's miles away from Cycle.js, but Angular has a much bigger eco-system.

If I would create a (realtime) data intensive app, I would probably use Angular for it.

Is there another way? This form of crowd sourcing data is how you are able to know when your next bus or train arrives.

But what is the alternative?

Should the concerned government body take it up? Your government releases a Maps application and asks citizens to use that...People are still going to have privacy concerns with that!

Or we simply decide to wait for the next bus and not bother to know when it arrives. Go back to a laid back life? Many mortals think that is a good idea, and, that is OK.

Like it or not, privacy is a problem of our civilization. Privacy problems are not going to go away. It up to the kingdom of humanity to live in good faith...But I have faith we might figure this out one day. Just not today...
Anti-meritocracy just sounds to me like you want to be judged or given privileges by who or what you are, not by what you contribute. It pretty much goes against equality but is being presented as a means to equality.

Am I just misinterpreting it or do people supporting it just not thought more deeply about what it is they're supporting?
I have a similar personal reaction but let’s recognise that the whimsical narrative mode of teaching appeals very greatly to many others, including folks that hadn’t previously realised they could program a computer too.

I do not require that my peers think in the same fashion as I do. Quite the opposite.
That looks great, thanks. One of the things that will help me re-learning is that I now have a much better understanding of how maths can help you answer questions and solve problems, rather than just working through rote exercises. I always found that maths made more sense in physics lessons than in some maths lessons.

No, the LineageOS devs say that their project does not aim to completely de-Google the OS, only remove Google Play Services and some Google applications like Maps. Thus, geolocation, DNS and login portal detection in LineageOS still use Google's servers.
Startup Backlog in Covid. What do you do?
What’s up? COVID times are hitting hard, aren’t they?

I was recently playing “For Whom the bell tolls “ (credits to Metallica) on my guitar and I thought of this thing:

What kind of startups will go down completely during the lockdown? I am not essentially talking about the vertical, to be clear. It’s more about KPIs and lack of reasonable strategic future steps.

Anyhow, here’s my take on the startup surviving guide in the lockdown period:

- Secure outstanding forwardable investor materials (financial model and a pitch deck). Why so important? - Obvious. First thing you’ll be showing to any investor these days is your pitch deck. Make sure, yours will be a “Hells Bells” and not a “Hello darkness, my old friend”. Check these guys for some inspiration (https://www.behance.net/waveup1).
- Make sure you have a task backlog adjusted to corona conditions. Consider some customer development shenanigans, create some surveys, re-consider your proof of concept, maybe you have missed some critical stuff while rushing from one pitch meeting to the other.
- Gather up your “motley crew” in Zoom and brainstorm how you can engage with investors (if needed). Create a funnel, gather some useful contacts and start outreaching.
- Research constantly:”Market”, “Problem”, and “Why Now” slides can always be improved. So often there is nothing “Behind blue eyes” of beautiful statements that people are so unhappy without your solution.

Those are just some of the ideas.What do you think I missed?
Here Maps has the Facebook SDK embedded in the app that pings Facebook upon every opening of the app (sending a persistent ID, IP address and device fingerprint including language, phone make/model and mobile carrier).
"Automatic Inlining of Fonts" seems like a pretty huge deal to me (considering, of course, that the framework is stable and huge stylistic changes like react hooks are in fact not what you want out of a stable framework but mostly a display of its immaturity – even if the feature itself is great). Do any of the competitors include something similar?
I don't know about this proprietary technology specifically, but Intel is a huge company with some FOSS friendliness. USB 4 is based on Thunderbolt 3, so I guess they licensed that one.

I met mine 13 years ago in a nightclub.

I didn’t have many friends and none were going out regularly. I went on my own. Made some friends (basically women I wasn’t attracted to) which made it marginally less awkward but still spent many hours alone on dancefloors.

I get the practically of
online dating, but not why people would expect it to be easier than going out, breaking a sweat, talking to (and getting snubbed by) women. If anything in nightclubs the element of physical attraction (which isn’t just looks but pheromones and spit and whatever else) is immediately available, whereas in online dating you have to painstakingly evoke an atmosphere.

But sure, not everyone enjoys dancing to DJs. But it’s hard either way.
Hardly anyone uses Nim. It's extremely niche, even compared to something like Rust. That's why there's no Nim infighting.

Before you can have dozens of people fighting about a thing, you need more than a dozen people to care about that thing.
> This thing ONLY EXISTS in the first place because of Apple's continual vertical integration push

This seems pretty grounded.

> The whole reason why they're able to beat Intel/AMD is because they don't have to cater to the exact same generic market that the established players do, but instead massively optimise for their exact needs.

I'm less convinced of this. Their exact needs seem to be making laptops... and so these chips would make interesting candidates for other laptops, if split off from Apple.

It's never going to happen, and an independent company might struggle for R&D money, but if these prove to be better laptop CPUs there is a market there.
So on the one hand, we have a massive systematic problem across virtually all online platforms. This problem involves (at least) thousands of new examples every day and so far has proved nearly impossible to control. And next to that we have a different problem based largely on idiosyncratic examples, and extrapolations from those idiosyncratic examples to hypothetical worst case scenarios.

I find this way of engaging with the problem to be profoundly misguided in two ways. One, it's a failure to correctly evaluate the relative scale of the two problems, and to consistently think and speak clearly about them in terms that reflect their relative scale.

And secondly, it mistakenly sets up the two problems as being in a relationship of interference with one another, such that talking about one is used to mean we should stop talking about the other. Instead of saying "this statement that racism is bad and sexual harassment is bad is a statement I do not support" it would be more helpful say "yes, that is a problem, I agree, we need to solve it. And meanwhile here's this other thing, but don't let this other thing detract from the importance of the first problem or imply we don't need to actively work on the first problem."

An insightful analysis of the problems that opaque systems can cause for users, customers - and vendors themselves - from the section "The Perils of SHUTDOWN":

"One of the other perils of SHUTDOWN is simply that it is so buggy. In fact, the whole SHUTDOWN/WARM START/CKPT START subsystem is just full of bugs, especially in I/O error recovery. The VM community is subjected to altogether too many cold starts as a result. The bugs stay there because IBM provides us with no means of diagnosing problems in this subsystem. When there is a failure in shutting down or starting up, CP is too sick to take a dump of itself. IBM doesn’t provide its VM customers with a standalone dump facility, so it gets very few dumps of shutdown and startup failures. If you begin seeing failures of this subsystem, I urge you to get hold of a standalone dump program from one of the other SCPs and take dumps and report the problems to IBM."
Landing page design services for SaaS
Today I would like to share some information about SaaS. The SaaS market has been in constant growth over the past few years and will continue to grow in the coming years. What exactly is SaaS? Here's a simple definition:

Software as a service (SaaS) is a software distribution model in which a third-party vendor hosts application and makes them available to customers over the Internet. SaaS is one of the three main categories of cloud computing, along with infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS).

The SaaS cloud services industry is projected to grow exponentially with projected revenues reaching $110 billion in 2020 and $143 billion by the end of 2022, according to a forecast report from Gartner.

Your SaaS website pages function as doorways to attract and retain customers. The user experience that your site provides lays a solid foundation for future interactions, so ensuring great UX / UI design and following best practices when developing a SaaS site is an absolute must for a high conversion SaaS site. Considering the importance of SaaS, the best option would be to order the creation of a website from professionals. For example, Eleken. Here you can read more information about SaaS and converting landing page for SaaS: https://www.eleken.co/landing-page

Absolutely, it's a horrible thing to contemplate. As a single man who is not very successful with women, I'm equally afraid of this outcome as I am of being alone forever. Perhaps even more.

I would love to find a way of coming to terms with this that doesn't involve adopting the full red pill attitude of "never get married, all women are like that" etc
I am pretty sure MicroG Lineage builds have NLPs other than Google's own preinstalled and being prerooted (or easily rooted with the extra zip) should be easily interchangeable from their settings. Though this is mostly an annoyance since an user installing Lineage should already be a little comfortable with adb and a terminal, it seems another sad step towards locking down Android furthermore.
IPV4 geolocation is based on maintained databases (e.g. Ma Mind) that usually are city or street accurate.

The popular rhetoric that having an IP is having the location is most often wrong unless Your users have static IPs registered to them. The way law enforcement does it is by subpoening the owner of the IP of pointing to the user associated with the IP at specific time but that still is prone to errors because of NATs - many distinct clients behind a single address.

All in all fingerprinting is using IPs pretty rarely nowadays.
I did this and I don't miss it. Apple Maps is good enough these days.
It seems to me like even a 5m refresh period would be fine for an art display? I doubt I'd want to change pieces more than once a day.

I'm probably an outlier, but I'm an all digital person and my walls are bare due to the size, backlighting and power cables of the recent art frame fad products. I've been waiting with bated breath for consumer ACeP screens. I have a lot of artwork that I don't think needs smooth gradients, even just a bit of color would be wonderful.

Anyways I just wanted to drop in and say I'd definitely buy something (and probably for a multiple of what current digital art frames go for).

On that note though, all I've seen of ACeP are promo photos and I don't quite trust promo photos. If you've any experience with them, is there anything you can say regarding how they actually perform visually?
I find the subtitle is weird (at least for the Pippi part):'left propaganda and prudery behind.'. Prudery in my understand mostly refers to a person 'being more uncomfortable than most with sexuality or nudity.'. Maybe it is used in a different sense here, but the Pippi book do not take any position on sexuality or nudity (like Disney in movies, parents are absent (father later joins in)).

What really pisses me about google is that they're a company where the user is the product AND they pretend to have users pay them.

If a company puts their users first, I can understand why they'd charge them; that's their business model.

But for a company with interests so orthogonal to their users, it just amazes me that they decide to charge -- and also, that their users would be willing to pay.
I always deactivate geolocation and I assume and hope it doesn't phone home to Google in that case. I still deactivate network if I don't need it. Android devices cannot really be trusted and it seems to be getting worse.

Of course I am not using contact tracing either in this case, but I certainly won't allow Google to trace my location.

What do you mean?
Tell that to Java or Nodejs :D
The nice thing with using smaller hardware that is also super quiet is that you can just leave it on your desk - in this case the machine is on a secondary input to one of my monitors - a Dell that also has a built in USB switch, so changing the monitor input over also moves my keyboard and mouse over!

I'd go for a server motherboard if the machine was remote though - eg if it was going to sit in a cupboard, basement, etc. Remote media with a decent IPMI is a godsend for that.

Angular 2+ is a very good framework which has typescript support from ground up. We have dozens of project in it. It's very suitable for enterprise applications with hundreds of screens. Types make it a lot more maintabale. It has been quite easy to keep the applications updated to the latest version of Angular. Mostly it just takes 1-2 days of developer time to bring the application to the latest version of Angular.

That's the most significant criticism of RFC 8297 (the 103 Early Hints response) from my cursory reading of the RFC. It should only be allowed when the client indicates that it can process 1xx responses. All other 1xx responses are like that AFAIK, e.g. 100 Continue is only sent when the client sets the "Expect: 100-continue" header. So a client that doesn't do that doesn't need to care about 100 Continue responses.
Are you sure about that? I didn't see this mentioned anywhere in the news, or on the M1 Wikipedia page.
I can't believe HNers believe sales pitch benchmarks.
I am unclear as to the author's intent. I expect most people here would find such ideas offensive.

And yet so many things seem on the right track. It's the polar opposite of the outrageously inefficient model where everything you use, you own, and for 99.9% of the time, the thing just sits there depreciating or taking up space. Regarding cars, as a city liver who needs a car (but has no driveway or garage), I certainly yearn for a better way.

Obviously some things are going to be bothersome, such as the idea of people holding business meetings in your living room when you are away. But I do like the idea of more sharing, and letting go -- at least a bit -- of the urge to own so much stuff.
