I don't know what to say besides that I disagree with almost every single aspect of what you wrote, on either a factual or a moral basis. Often both. Honestly though, we're so far off that I think itemizing everything I disagree with here would be a waste of time. So instead, I'll list what I do agree with. First to answer your question, I don't believe most Trump supporters are racist, although I would suggest you really analyze why decreasing linguistic or religious dominance is threatening to you. I agree that the first (but not only) duty of any world leader is to the people of their country. I agree that cutting regulations, cutting taxes, and encouraging low interest rates likely helped the economy (although other effects of some of those regulatory cuts, especially on climate, are very concerning to me).

And to answer your final question, the most recent example of Trump not caring about the damage he does is him currently undermining faith in the democratic process itself in order to avoid admitting defeat. More generally, he will always take opportunities to fire up his base despite any deleterious effects on national unity. And yes, also his actions and rhetoric toward strong allies such as Canada. Framing such as "parasitic countries" is both inaccurate and diplomatically unproductive - from you, but especially from a world leader. I would go further into why I disagree with that approach, but that would lead me into all the things I disagree with here. So instead I'll just ask you to do some research on your other points outside of right-wing sources. The most clear-cut one is this thing about Pelosi's son, so maybe start there.
> Apple said in response that it “does not access or use the IDFA on a user’s device for any purpose”.

What is it there for then?

If Apple doesn't access the IDFA, but provide the mechanism to do so for others, then clearly Apple is still violating the law.

Apple put the IDFA there. Others accessing it is similar to one website giving you a cookie without consent and other websites looking at that cookie. It's still a violation by the website that gave you the cookie without obtaining your consent.
So, when one sees a photograph, do people automatically believe it? Why aren't there photoshopped images of high profile people being published everywhere as slander? Because people know that photoshop exists.

Similarly, if everyone knows that these keys have been released, people wouldn't believe slanderous email dumps.

As I said in my other comment, I fear that Google may have securely destroyed the keys because of fear of it getting stolen.
Interestingly, the cheaper a place is the more likely it is to have pictures. And a few of my greatest ever food experiences have been from places where the food is in hot dishes and you point at what you want on your plate, enabling you to order food where you don't have a common language with the restauranteur.
I think it's easy to look at a mortality rate of half a percent, and think "no big deal" - but it really is. One in every 200 people dying would mean most of us have a close connection to a couple of victims.

And there's already more dead from covid-19 in the US than casualties during the Vietnam War. Granted, more elderly people than young, but it's still a bit difficult to accept that it's insignificant.

Add to this what could happen with an exponential surge, with icus being over-run - and a) you'd end up being more likely to die from other causes, like a traffic accident - and b) many of the current covid-19 survivors would end up as casualties.

Great point
The ability to apply filters / adjustments to pixel area sections of a video for a set number of frames.

Eg I want to lighten or darken or HSV adjust a limited area of the video for 400 frames. As opposed to applying an adjustment only to the full frame. Like using lassos, marquee selection, brushes, and so on in Photoshop or the equivalent.

Perhaps the ability to create pixel area adjustment layers (that sit over top of the video) with filters and then be able to apply those template layers only to a certain set of frames.

Nearly all video editing software lacks this type of granular ability; I assume because it's a pain to implement.
Are there about:config entries to handle excluded sites?

Their point is that Qira can't be compared to Cutter because they're different products altogether. Qira isn't "better" per se - it is made for a different use case. It's an apples and oranges comparison.

Yes, she's right that her grandfather was 'sacrificed' for political gain.

I understand she is grieving but this is a confused mess trying to find something to blame. Trump. Voters. Capitalism.

She needs polite condolences and time. She doesn't need people indulging in this nonsense and encouraging her.

I'll have to remember that for next time I get "wireless on the train doesn't work, I get some security error" via SMS.

Last time I pointed them at one of my sub-domains that still serves plain HTTP to bring up the captive portal (which wasn't trying to charge, or apparently even advertise, the network just insisted you hit it at least once to be told "Hello!" and presumably have your MAC added to the whitelist for a time).

The name "neverssl" might confuse non-techies though. Maybe I'll register something like iswirelessbroken.com for doing the same thing.
True indeed.

Since King Gustav Vasa who indebted the nation to fund his wars and in order to finance this, forever doomed the swedes to suffer centralisation, in order to establish his taxation regime.

What I mean with this historical tidbit is I’d expect the Swedish state to keep that data in one database, not different databases around the country. But I have no source, and would love to learn, if anyone working in Swedish healthcare IT is on HN.
Oh wow, it's the same guy who won in court against Facebook. I can understand why Apple feels the need to quickly shoot back.

He's pursuing Apple under German law, and Apple's statement was that they fully follow EU law. So they may both be right at the same time.

In detail, Apple is creating a device-unique ID for advertisement tracking and access to that will be user-controlled in iOS 14. And Schrems is filing because it is exposed to advertisers without the user's consent in iOS 13 and earlier.
Those things were amazing engineering. Someone's probably making something like it for the retrocomputing crowd.

With current tech it should be trivial to keep all of the RAM in the module and just asynchronously push some writes out (video and IO) at Apple II speeds.
One of the authors here. This article should really be called "Feature Store done right", as we learnt a lot after 1 year of production work with our Feature Store, and tried to apply what we learnt in version 2.0.
An adversary with sufficient impunity will simply lie and make things up.

DKIM without rotation and disclosure provides the capacity to do so with cryptographically provable integrity. Green's paper lists instances in which this has happened (as a proof-of-concept demmostration of the risk), and may have happened.

DKIM key rotation and public key disclosure at least denies adversaries this.
homebrew sucks compared to macports in terms of working well inside the OSX ecosystem. It installs itself out of the way of OSX and /System, works with Xcode and system frameworks and has all of the stuff I've ever needed.

I've been running big sur on a 2020 iMac during the public beta. I had 4 issues that I raised that were solved:

* SMB wasn't loaded at login, so an SMB volume mapping failed

* Inbuilt VPNs (L2TP over IPSec) didn't work until the last but one before the public release, but wireguard worked

* Minor bug loading a JPG as the avatar for a Contact through Maps for my Home card. I got requests for additional info on this one.

In terms of apps and utilities:

* Bartender needed to be redone and has been

* Karabiner needed changes to replace a kext

* Utilities that add keyboard shortcuts etc needed some permission finangling

* Things like OneDrive and Google Backup and Sync needed disk permissions

* iTerm2 needed to be given full disk access

So all in all, Big Sur as an upgrade over Catalina, was pretty smooth. That was from a move from a laptop running Catalina as a Mojave upgrade via Migration Assistant.

YMMV.
To all intents and purposes, the USA are an island. They have just two land borders with neighbours they have somewhat acceptable relations with.

I think the real issue they have is the unwillingness to cooperate with the other two measures: lockdowns (clashes with "freedom", at least temporarily) to reduce the number of cases to a range where they can be contact traced and then to allow contact tracing (I would guess this is because of a lack of trust in the government) to actually find people that might become infectious before they actually do.

BTW "Just wearing masks" is not the solution but part of it.

Processing power, meh. More of an issue is older devices not getting the updates to software for the newer algorithms, and not getting the updated certificates. I got rid of a perfectly good tablet for just this reason. A bit slow perhaps but workable.
All those things are to blame, though.

How could it be used for that purpose then if it’s proven to be unreliable?

To be fair, so many things are "illegal" in China and it mostly serves to give authorities something to get you with if they actually want to get you. See also, VPN use.
Hi everyone!

I love Hacker News, the problem is that, like all social platforms, it easily becomes a slot machine. Every time you look there is a new post or comment!

HackerDaily is built to alleviate this problem as well as a few others:

- The posts are grouped per day, starting from yesterday. So you never miss the best posts

- The articles are readable on the site itself. No more loading of multi-MB webpages just to read a simple article

- It has an improved collapsing comment system

- It’s a PWA, so you can install it to your homescreen and use it as an app

- It has a dark mode

- It's open source[1]

I would love to hear what you think about it!

Can a user use multiple (fallback) DNS-over-HTTPS providers? Do the DoH providers supply fallbacks (which iirc most DNS providers do)?
There was a fascinating show on the Discovery Channel about the super volcano under Yellowstone and how truly large and potentially devastating it is.

Unfortunately being the Discovery Channel they spent more time animating the end of the world (in the US anyway) aspect than anything.

And ending on the ominous message that's is a only a matter of time before it blows. Could be tomorrow or in 100,000 years, we're not sure.

I'm not convinced that JavaFX is too slow for use in real-world GUIs. The article doesn't really back up this claim. It also ignores the SWT toolkit, used by Eclipse.
I'm not comparing on the basis of TDP. I'm comparing performance/dollar.

I fully expect Apple's higher end, higher TDP chips to achieve better performance. But they will cost more money.

How about on an administration that had all the information back when it was first spreading from China?

People like you seem to have forgotten "It's a liberal hoax." Remember New Orleans saying "If the administration had told us how bad Covid was, we would have skipped Mardi Gras." Remember Austin fighting with SXSW to get them to cancel?

The Trump administration had the data and buried it. And then later stoked the "outgroup" against those who attempted to apply more significant shutdowns.

Inaction at the beginning of a pandemic leads to an inability to contain it later. South Korea, Vietnam, etc. shows what happens when you take it seriously early.

So, yeah, I do lay a significant chunk of unnecessary deaths on the "outgroup" as you call them.

And I'm not going to allow people like you to get away with revisionist history.

Is there any information on how the IDFA value is accessible?
I'd be more receptive to this if ISPs weren't snooping on traffic and selling their customer's browsing history. As long as we have to operate under the assumption that every scrap of data we send or request will be picked apart and used against us whenever possible I'd rather encrypt everything and have a little less to worry about.
Perhaps they were told to make Apple stuff work without login, and just blindly whitelisted all known Apple host address ranges.

Ignorable rant: Indian government is good at propaganda like all other third world socialist regimes.

Railways booking is fairly complex but no where as complex as it is made to sound. Most of the complexity is due to the bad design of the system and rent seeking attitude of various government departments involved. Prof. Bibek Debroy was appointed to study Railways and has produced excellent analysis of the malice in Railways.

The real problem with Railways bookings has nothing to do with total tickets sale. The problem is when thousands of people are trying to book a specific ticket. A sleeper class with 10 coaches will have 720 seats and around 2000-5000 people will try to book them at the same time. Each train booking is independent and hence can be parallelized. Where IRCTC can book 1.3 million tickets or not is irrelevant, what is more important is whether they can efficiently solve this simple problem of 720 seats.

The alphabet soup of PRS, RTR etc. is a waste. A kid wrote an app that vastly improved user experience of the system tells you just how bad the entire user experience is.

Mismanagement of IRCTC can be attributed to the Railways mafia who benefits from such inefficiencies.

Technical note: The 720 seats for 5000 people might sound simple but in reality is a little bit more complex as passengers also put preference for preferred berth, there is a special affirmative action for disabled, seniors etc., family members want to travel together, there are some seats reserved for politicians, and some for "agents". Some will be booked via railway terminals only. Those who do not win this 720 lottery will get into a waiting list and can still travel but will have to stand.
> but provide the mechanism to do so for others, then clearly Apple is still violating the law.

Apple is severely limiting IDFA in the new iOS and shows a popup asking whether you want to allow apps to track you. So that's become opt-in.

Few think wearing masks alone could contain the virus.

(Be wary of inventing quotes to make your argument.)

It’s just the simplest, easiest thing most people can do that is effective. A no-brainer first step that slows down the spread, and consequently saves lives and/or lessens the need for harsher measures, like lockdowns.
Okay, so how would you model that? Can you be precise? What's the lifetime revenue generated by $1 of ad spend? This number is critical, because if that number is too low then the equity is, mathematically, worthless. It's not about patience, it's about whether you're compounding a number that's >1 or a number that's <1. I just cannot tell.

> If Apple doesn't access the IDFA, but provide the mechanism to do so for others, then clearly Apple is still violating the law.

I'd disagree with that. It's like blaming the browser for storing the cookie which Facebook uses to track users across websites.

If Apple would use the IDFA in their own products, then it would be a different story.
Hmm I've never been asked this on any official form other than when I register to vote (so I can join a party), and that's optional.
But the alternative is that more data needs to be exposed and then if you change that data all the functions that operate on it need to be changed. This is a well known problem. With OO you can change some of the data/state (and the resulting behaviour of the system) with just a local change. But if you want to change the functions then you are out of luck.

> The Californian tech giant said in September it would delay plans to launch iOS 14 until early next year.

iOS 14 was released in September. What a strange sentence, it's completely incorrect.
There's a phenomenon I observe quite regularly in tech. A problem exists and creative people develop an innovative solution to said problem. The solution then becomes popular and a singular goal of uncreative people who deploy said solution everywhere and push it to its logical extreme.

I remember seeing this in the mid-2000s when HTML tables were shunned in favour of "divs". I saw people reinventing tables using divs and CSS to display tabular data. Completely missing the point, of course.

This is an example of that for me. How can I possibly trust every single website I visit? It means nothing to connect to a news website, say, and see the "green padlock". Who am I trusting exactly? That I've successfully connected to some load balancer that is operated by "super-trustworthy-tech-news.com"? What's the use in that? Am I supposed to trust them more than some man-in-the-middle just because they own a domain name?

But maybe it's for privacy? If you want privacy you use tor. HTTPS does nothing for privacy when it's the same tech giant on the other end that is collecting all the data. It just means that said tech giant gets exclusive access to that data. Great.

All this does is train people to not care about security and to just trust us to do the right thing because they are too stupid to get it. Sooner or later there will be an event where a government compromises a CA. Bad luck. Some Americans already decided this was a solved problem and that this could never happen.
Why are people not wearing masks despite it being effective?

Yeah, you can blame those people. They are incredibly irresponsible.

Masks are obviously not the only measure that should be used.
Even as fundamentally against banning of books as I am, I am pretty sympathetic to most of those complaints. We could do a lot better by teaching modern Black perspective and literature rather than antiquated white literature, albeit good literature, IMO.
The article has some valid points. This was my favorite, "a middle-class life threatened on all sides by catastrophe."
That's exactly how it is in America. When it comes down to it, you're pretty much on your own. If it weren't for charities, donations and religious groups helping people, many Americans would be ruined.

As a developer, should you not work against an environment closer to production behaviours? Otherwise you might miss performance issues (due to different caching behaviours between http/https) or other problems until your code is released.
Right... but why does the state want to know which party you're a member of? This doesn't get supervised by the state in other countries. It's usually a personal, private matter between you and the party.
