Foursquare! I prefer it to Yelp, and the people running it care about making a good, non-scammy product.

Exactly, but this proves the point: if you are staying in the leftmost lane and going slow people would be up your a$$ or honking.

Your threat model appears to be that most email providers are hacked a substantial percent of the time, right? What defenses of anything are going to work with that threat model?
Not sure why you're being downvoted. It's pretty obvious that Yelp wouldn't do this if their contracts didn't cover it. The question is whether the contracts and sales language being used are worded to mislead the restaurant owner. I see no reference to contract language or sales language anywhere in the article or this thread.
I experienced a black screen on my 2017 MBP. Might be a different issue than the bricking mentioned yesterday. All my apps were still running. Launchpad and mission control functioned but brought me back to the black screen if I tried to launch an app. I got out of it by using mission control to open a second desktop environment, then re-opening the original desktop. After restarting I have not experienced the issue since.

No, it does not look like "forced obsolescence", and could we please stop with this silly narrative every single time there is any kind of Apple bug?

It gets nobody anywhere, it's contradicted by a 20-year period of generally very reliable and long-lasting hardware from Apple, and additionally, it's lazy and uninformative.
It was not unheard-of back in the film days. The cameras, like the Fuji GW690, were not exactly small, but you could carry them around on a neck-strap and use them without a tripod.

Well, advertisers don't really want to spy on you and control your mind. What they want are stable, well-defined target audiences with well-known statistical properties and control groups.

It became untenable because that's when Apple removed the ability to buy, browse, back up, and restore iOS apps locally in iTunes.
It's the other way around - for any given chance of you getting COVID, there's a (to use your number) 3% mortality rate - if you take the vaccine - that outcome changes because you now have much smaller risk of infection, to 0.15% chance.

Your choice is between 3% and 0.15% - not 95% and 97%.

I don't think this individualistic way of looking at things is sound, though. First 3% mortality sounds way high - even given health system collapse (basically turning every ventilator survivor into a dead patient).

And on the other hand, mostly the old and those with pre-conditions will die - we alltake the vaccine to protect everyone. That way we might avoid a population wide 0.5% (or thereabouts) mortality rate.

That would still 1 in 200 - most people would likely know a handful of people dying from the disease if there's no mitigation.
Travel was also significantly less than what it is now. 20 years ago it would have been a local epidemic with limited spread. 10 years ago would have been a pandemic but still limited in terms of spread.
I used coronaprøver.dk to illustrate the point. The more authoritative URL is coronaprover.dk and coronaprøver.dk is registered to prevent domain squatting/phishing attempts. Although they probably should have made a solution without certificate errors.

The lack of a proper societal response to the disease, and what that reveals about the fragile state of our civilization is what's responsible for severe pandemic-related anxiety.

While the solution from NYC seems good to start, why don't customers get charged for fees if they are the ones calling? I feel like in the US splitting fees between the caller and receiver causes a lot of problems (see: spam calls which can become prohibitively expensive if the caller has to eat all the fees)
Its not impossible. Civil time is just this, in fact.

Its true that if two observers use their own local atomic standard to precisely measure elapsed time then they would have difficulty agreeing on when something happened. However, that's not how civil timekeeping works. One clock declares itself to be a master clock and broadcasts a time+position standard to everyone else. Other observers then construct their own PLL to compute a running estimate of the total phase shift between their local time standard and the one that is broadcast.

In effect, received civil time has a velocity relative to your local atomic time. If every observer can label their observations with civil time then the paradox disappears and you are left with information flow that is bounded to the speed of light. A fast-moving observer has a local atomic standard of time that moves at one second per second, and a received civil time that appears to be running much faster.

A peer-to-peer version of this is how we define international atomic time. Subtle variations in local gravity conspire to actually give the different clocks in the network a different local speed of time. They steer a global PLL to minimize the total squared phase error in the network. Each node in the network can make observations on the TAI timebase by adding its own clock offset to their local clock.
It's not false except in some insignificant details. The OCSP request still tells Apple the developer ID, which for some software is just as revealing.

For the Tor Browser, the developer ID used with OCSP is:

The Tor Project, Inc (MADPSAYN6T)

That's certainly enough to tell Apple you are running Tor Browser, Tor itself, or something else from the Tor project!

Also that's only OCSP which runs often. Gatekeeper also runs, though only the first time each new executable is run. Gatekeeper does tell Apple the hash of the application. That will show up each time you run it after updating to a new version.

The stuff about street address etc is wrong, but not completely wrong. Because the request is sent when you open the application, as a side effect it reveals your approximate location (to anyone third-party eavesdroppers not just Apple) and an accurate timestamp, of the moment when you opened Tor.

Of course anyone eavesdropping nearby can detect the Tor traffic itself. However, only on the paths used to the Tor exit node. Separate from the Tor traffic, Apple and any routers along the path to Apple (e.g. "great firewall") can identify devices running Tor from far away, even if they don't have direct evidence of Tor traffic from those devices. I think it quite likely that CCP (among others) will be logging these OCSP requests at the great firewall already.

Here's a "cleared up" version of the story from https://www.theverge.com/2020/11/16/21569316/apple-mac-ocsp-... :

> the data sent to Apple’s OCSP server contains information relating to an app’s developer but not the app itself. It adds that Apple’s Gatekeeper service can send the hash of an executable, but that this is separate to OCSP and happens over an encrypted connection. Apple’s own support page notes that Gatekeeper uses “an encrypted connection that is resilient to server failures.”

> In its updated support document, Apple makes clear that security checks it makes when authenticating software do not include a user’s Apple ID or device identity. The company also says it’s stopped logging IP addresses associated with the Developer ID certificate checks. “We have never combined data from these checks with information about Apple users or their devices,” writes the iPhone-maker. “We do not use data from these checks to learn what individual users are launching or running on their devices.”
It is yours.

However, every other point you make here is accurate.

Well, actually in Italy is the opposite. The leftmost lanes are almost always occupied by cars, the rightmost ones by trucks.
Assuming we're all USA citizens here.

We've lived in an individualist society that has left behind people like the OP. Almost no one, if anyone at all, argued for collectivism to undo the bad thing that happened to them.

You're argument seems to be that now that something bad has happened to enough people, it's time for collectivism. That is one massively bitter pill to swallow for all the people who have been left behind in the past and had to fend for themselves.

And why does it have to be all about what you want? Because you are part of a majority? Does that make it okay to steamroll other people, because you, as a member of the majority, have more value? Because more people agree with you, and you add all those people together, and you have more value than a minority? Do you not see how your argument has been used to justify all the terrible things that have been committed against minorities in the past?

All of this could be moot though if these vaccines are truly 95+% effective. Not everyone will need to get it for herd immunity. The most likely scenario seems to be a combination of natural immunity and vaccine immunity before we even have enough doses to give everyone.
The problem is that there’s no study demonstrating what was stated. Consuming a fructose concentrate will not have the same outcome as consuming the same amount of fructose through fruits.

There isn’t a study that shows the outcomes are equivalent . I have no idea where OP got his conclusion that fruits are an issue.

Yes, keeping an eye on glycemic index or FODMAP for people with metabolic disease works but I can’t find studies showing that you can eat so much fruit to get diabetic or gout.

> Funny you mention ANSYS specifically as they seem to have pretty decent Linux support:

With ANSYS in particular the question is who is doing the simulation. If the engineer is doing it, many engineering tools are windows only (although this has been improving) so it makes sense to run ANSYS under windows as well so you can be close to your modelling software. If the stress or EM guys are separate from the designers, then it shouldn't matter as much.

I would love to see all productivity tools move to Linux and things have been getting a lot better over the years. Personally I'm excited around the noise that Microsoft was exploring office for Linux, as office is the only reason I ever boot into windows. What a godsend it would be to be able to program and run all my productivity software at the same time.

It's never RICO

https://www.popehat.com/2016/06/14/lawsplainer-its-not-rico-...

specifically, I don't see how this can be bribery. Who is the person or official that Yelp is bribing?

It's not Grubhub, since Grubhub doesn't really have any authority to guide purchases through their systems.

In fact, if anything, it's yelp which surreptitiously can guide purchases through more expensive (for the restaurant) services. But I don't think this is extortion either: Yelp is not forcing the customers to use them, nor the restaurant to use them. If one really pushes, I think that Yelp might yield and delist your business (which would be bad, but in a different way), and they anyhow aren't asking you for money for an extortion. They're (together with grubhub) "simply" asking the business money for an (unwelcome) service they provide.

(also, you'd probably have to sue Jeremy Stoppelman, and not Yelp if you really want to make a RICO claim)

Yelp is surely scummy, but I think that if people want to press charges, they should be for more run-of-the-mill fraud claims.
It already is bad. Heatwaves, hurricanes, drought and flood. It's going to get worse before it can possibly get better.
It matches the expression with x_ as a named wildcard (it has lots of stuff you can do to constrain the matching, like “only match if x is prime”). Then it replaces the whole expression having x bound to whatever x_ matched.

All good points, I've been through both for a few days each recently and enjoyed myself. I wondered what the line is between a common community Vs forced segregation.

And that's just as abhorrent as when Windows does it. Luckily there are lots of other distros.

Microsoft forced that on a lot of people too, so it's not the users fault for "not paying"

> a campus license from their university, "included" in the computer they bought

Someone still payed for that, whether it is the OEM or the university. It still doesn't excuse the practice.

> Many of the advantages and disadvantages of various OS come down to personal taste and willingness to deal with them. There's no need to belittle either side.

I agree for the most part. If you have to use windows or MacOS because it is the only OS that some specific software is compiled for, and you need the software, then I don't blame you for using the OS. But really it's the software developer's fault for not releasing on all common platforms that brought the limitation in the first place.

But I'm sorry I am going to belittle people who defend dual payment systems as you call them. That is just pure greed.

This is really cool.

Remember coming across SICM a long time ago, feel it gets under-appreciated because it's perhaps too niche (not enough of the "SICP crowd" cares about the physics, people who care about the physics don't come across it).

You're asking me? I don't know, but Microsoft clearly thinks $1 mil is enough for their users' needs.
It's not "coldly rational" if your fix is simple enough that can be fixed on the browser console and charging CCs directly avoid the 30% fee of the store (though Tinder does seem to tack that to the app store price)
Apple Silicon M1 Chips and Docker
It's not Yelp who is charging them. They have a pre-existing business relation with Grubhub that generates leads for them for a fee, and, according to Yelp, allows Grubhub to charge them for any lead generated on any partner platform, which Yelp became in 2018.

So now what used to be a free stream of customers is hijacked by Grubhub. I'm sure it hasn't crossed their minds when they signed up with Grubhub that in addition to new sales generated with them, they will also start paying commission on their existing clientele.

A business owner trapped in a market where the Grubhub-Yelp duopoly is proeminent is basically fucked, and they will use their rent seeking revenues to further entrench their dominance by offering consumer discounts, fidelity options etc.
Oh that is cool! It does remind me of https://telegra.ph/ by Telegram! (Even though they weren't really advertising it as a universal shortener). Just a quick question, how did you promote your platform!

Fruit juice removes all of the fructose from the fiber your body has to scrounge through to absorb the sugar.

The overall quantity of sugar may be roughly equivalent, but the glass of juice is going to hit your blood stream almost as fast as a can of coke. Probably as fast since a typical bottle of fruit juice is running about 20 calories more than a soda.

Also PSA: Watch out for apple juice in your 100% fruit juice. It is at this point a very old industry trick to use apple juice that's concentrated, increasing the sugar content drastically. If you got a press and juiced your own apples, it would taste like flavored water to you compared to the 'worst' case in bottled juices.
Correct me if I'm wrong but elsewhere you to claim to be a conservative who has at least some mistrust in the recent election results. This seems like a paradox. Do you trust the government and its systems or not? Because the "I've got nothing to hide" [0] argument doesn't work if you recognize that governments can and do go bad. Once that happens, they can retroactively change what is acceptable thought.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing_to_hide_argument

Edit: Already at -1 votes with no explanation. To be clear I don't want to bring the election/politics into this. I only want to point out that "I've got nothing to hide" is a strange argument if you explicitly distrust the democratic systems in place around you.

>Either way, Google shows me all of that before I click anything else.

All seeded from Yelp. When Yelp complained google shrugged their shoulders and said they could remove them from their search index entirely if they liked. Being the world's no. 1 search destination gave them carte blanche to rip off IP all over.

Google was a parasite on Yelp. It's not really surprising that Yelp is now like "fuck it, parasitic business models are the future" and leant in. I'd have done the same.

Where parasitic business models thrive the economy itself will suffer. This is a problem that only gets solved by bringing the regulatory hammer down on big tech.

Wikipedia has an article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E6B
Are 1201 takedown notices even supposed to be a thing, or were they just invented by the RIAA and/or other overly enthusiastic copyright holders?

I was under the impression that DMCA notices were for the removal of infringing content, not alleged anti-circumvention tools. That's what the law seems to specify. The notification and takedown process is specified for infringement of copyrighted works, not distribution of anti-circumvention tools. EFF's explainer video seemed to concur with the assessment that DMCA notices are not appropriate for 1201 violations, only for removal of infringing content.

1201 enforcement appears to be through other mechanisms, such as criminal liability and statutory damages. Presumably those would require something more than a letter or notice claiming violation.

Definitely consult with your physician, but in case you didn’t know — lying prone (on your stomach) can help a lot with this.
