I normally am a big fan of stratechery but I couldn't disagree more, especially in the reality of how data is collected and SOLD.

Analytics packages do tie things to individual consumers and while that may not be useful to the company compiling the data, it does get sold that way. And yes, I can tell you there are companies that crawl through individual level data and use it for everything from very targeted marketing to basically scams and illegal uses.

Also the issue comes that many companies have garbage security. Even if they don't intend to abuse or sell the data, it will almost certainly walk off and become public. All the good intent of stopping child exploitation won't fix your world open S3 bucket. Oh and once it's leaked? Yeah, it'll get packaged and resold.

The idea that we need to invade privacy to stop crime is hilarious. We stopped crime before the internet and we will continue to stop it. One thing the article gets wrong is that it's automated scanning that stops child pornography - while that does limit reuploads, most pedophile rings producing and selling content are busted by.. detective work and flipping insiders. Yeah it's great to stop reuploads but that doesn't stop the original crime - arresting the people creating and selling content does.

Data once collected can't be uncollected. The genie doesn't go back into the bottle. Already we're seeing the EU try to crack down on freedom of speech - and right now that might be against undesirables like Nazis and anti-semites, but it will be turned against others like it always has before. Already we've seen people protesting against police be targeted through this kind of data targeting, and there was that whole Belarus/Telegram incident.
I used to use wxWidgets a lot back in the day when I was developing software for academia (about 5 years ago). Is it not considered good any more? It used to be pretty useful for developing GUI, although I think OSX implementation was buggy?
How about discounts for universities? They could take a page from Microsoft, which introduces students and teachers to its ecosystem with low-cost versions of Windows and Office.
Lots of tiny memory allocations is pretty efficient in java. The VM would have already allocated memory from the kernel so there's no context switch, and once the tiny objects are no longer referenced, deallocation is a free (0 machine instructions) side effect of garbage collection. Garbage collection isn't free, but it can be cheap(er) than reference counting millions of objects with explicit and individual allocation and deallocation.
It's not hard to match up a certificate hash to the issuer, because most issuers will likely only have a couple of certificates to simplify internal PKI. It's something that can be solved with a rainbow table, there aren't even salts involved.
Totally agree. Reminds me of a quote from Peopleware:

"Most managers give themselves excellent grades on knowing when to trust their people and when not to. But in our experience, too many managers err on the side of mistrust. They follow the basic premise that their people may operate completely autonomously, as long as they operate correctly. This amounts to no autonomy at all. The only freedom that has any meaning is the freedom to proceed differently from the way your manager would have proceeded. This is true in a broader sense, too: The right to be right (in your manager’s eyes or in your government’s eyes) is irrelevant; it’s only the right to be wrong that makes you free."
yes I updated the number. Sorry about that.
I simply did percent_dead times num_dead/percent_cases times num_cases. That leads to ~0.5%. I agree with you that IFR is unknowable without very thorough sero-survey. So all we have is CFR to go on. The ratio depends on population age and test availability etc.
It is also really nice to trust a developer enough where I can give a broad tasks and not worry about it. It takes a big cognitive load off of me.

I don't enjoy small tasks as a manager but they can be necessary depending on how much I trust someone.

> Can I use data or tiles from Google Maps or other non-Mapbox services?

They're charging for Mapbox GL JS, even if you don't actually use their tiles.

Fedora doesn't like to be put in that particular niche anyway. Yes, Fedora is fast moving and it is what Red Hat uses as the base for major releases, but we're more than "Redhat-unstable" in so many ways.

CentOS Stream will be the upstream for RHEL minor branch development. This is actually a huge thing that I think people are missing: previously, once branched from Fedora, RHEL development did not happen in the public eye. With Stream, it will. This is huge and awesome good news. However, that development will still be entirely Red Hat curated. This is different from Fedora, where we make community decisions with Red Hat's engineering input as a stakeholder but not the decider. (See for example btrfs as the default filesystem.)
No, they aren't.

I'm not a big fan of governments paying up to rescue big companies that made billions and in the end went bankrupt because in a free market is unfair. But that's far, very far from not being capitalism. The action itself may not be the most "capitalistic" but after that the government doesn't take control, it's not an expropriation.
If they have bluetooth, how do they "deprecate support"?
I knew someone would bring that up! Yes you can statically link but its harder to go that route and probably not worth it for most people (although for some platforms like iOS you might have to, not sure about that).

I've used Qt for over 15 years and I've never once wanted/needed to statically link it since dynamic linking has always worked just fine for the type of apps I've worked on.
I discovered Einstein on the Beach this year, also in my 30s, and was nearly brought to tears. I played classical piano for most of my youth and had a deep appreciation for it but stopped exploring new composers during years of depression.

It’s a wonderful experience with a nice pair of headphones. Something about the way the repetition lasts just long enough to produce a sense of anticipation and delight.
Well, then you have never heard of ksqlDB. It adds SQL and DB features to Kafka. It is backed by Confluent (LinkedIn) same company that developed Kafka initially.

> Would you even expect a "is certificate revoked" function to return an Error<T>?

Depends on how it's doing the check. If it has to fetch the CRL from the CRLdp or do OCSP with the OSCP AIA, like CAPI does, then it definitely has to have an error for when certificate revocation status is not available.

Honestly, even if I provide the cert & CRL, it should probably be able to throw an error if either one has invalid ASN.1 encoding or such.
Part of this is Bluetooth's fault, but Apple has found a way not to kneecap their mics over bluetooth so I'm not sure why industry leading wireless audio (Shure, Sennheiser) that have put engineer years into low power, low latency, high fidelity wireless codecs can't make a headset that doesn't sound like Skype on DSL.
Dude, I don't like politics of this country (India) like every next sane person. But TikTok and related chinese app ban was done for good.

When the other country is in a conflict on the borders, these apps are essentially a national security threat, given how pervasive these are. People used shitty adware / outright malware like ShareIt and Cam Scanner pervasively. I don't know how much of them are actually available now. But at least there is awareness now.
If everybody starts bringing tons of stuff into the depots, there may very well be a limit on that too, soon. Or maybe there'll just be the natural limit that you'll wait in line all day and not get to drop off before closing.

You'll have a madhouse at those depots if every shipper starts individually hauling in all of their (unusually high number of) packages.
> Which one said they thought there was no chance of violence?

You implied it. "If they had thought there was a chance of violence, they would have been much more forceful."

I feel like we're going to continue to disagree here but I do want to thank you for contributing your viewpoint to the discussion.
>The difference between a $50 and $200 pair of headphones is staggering.

You fall exactly for the trap the parent is talking about. "$50 earphones" and "$200 earphones" is meaningless. There are many reasons why earphones can be more or less expensive, many of which have nothing to do with audio quality. Things like wireless support, quality of the materials used and whatever brand is embossed on it. My $50 "studio" AKG 240 are probably as good as many $200 earphones, but they're all plastic and not wireless.
Just for the sake of accuracy, Matrix really does have a lot of impressively feature complete clients these days - Element, FluffyChat, Weechat, Mirage etc (and technically Element is 3 entirely non-overlapping codebases on web/desktop, iOS & Android). And the protocol is busy evolving; with MSCs landing on some clients before others (e.g. FluffyChat implements BlurHash based image thumbnails but Element doesn't yet). So far we haven't had massive fragmentation though, because the spec itself is monolithic - it's completely unambiguous on what the official recommended featureset is at any point in time. Anything beyond that is experimental, and there's no guarantee that it will work compatibly at all. So when something like blurhashes turns up as a random community spec change proposal (https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/anoa/blurhash/...), some clients go and implement it, and once proven it gets baked into the official spec.
Well, the more software uses GPLv3 the better. All the locked bootloader shenanigans and software patent FUD is really getting out of hand and more widely used GPLv3 software can help at least a bit.
I don't know yet, I'm putting in a call to my account rep.

What I do recall is that if you let the development license lapse, you're locked into whatever version was latest at the time. So I can't upgrade Qt on any in-field device updates which is usually just fine, especially if you managed to get to a decent LTS version, but any Qt bugfixes after that are off limits.
when there are a lot of established professional audio companies offering better sound at a cheaper price.

I won't argue about the price. But considering that exactly zero HN commenters have tried these, how can you categorically state that the audio is bad? People used spec sheets to make the same assumptions about each iteration of AirPods and were wrong each time.
The truth about Apple's repeated engineering failures
Mobile OSes already support per-application network usage breakdowns. This is an OS-level feature, and not an ISP-level feature.
“spatial audio” is the killer feature here. It’s one of the last “unsolved” audio problems (at least in available headphone/earphone product lines), along with the upper frequency limit on noise canceling, which this product doesn’t solve.
Which means "capitalism but we keep the authoritarian hierarchy because it benefits us".
For LinkedIn that number can be 7+ figures saved per year by a single employee.
> "$549!?"

Sony WH-1000XM4s will set you back $350 and these are favourite NC headphones for many.

The AirPods Max have some clear advantages over those: 9 microphones, huge suite of positioning sensors including gyroscope and accelerometer etc. Presumably the sound quality and NC will be at least as good as Sony's, and the software, UX and "build quality" significantly better.
No, it's not. If using ANC, you do need a chip on the device to do ANC for latency reasons. But that's already a solved problem.

That don't produce alpha-gal, the glycan that generates this allergy.

If humans produced alpha-gal, negative selection would typically remove it as a possible ligand, and this would rarely happen.

What does outperformed mean?

Beats by Dre sell incredibly well in large part because they are a fashion statement. They also have cranked bass, which aggravates people who want accurate response but sounds great to people who put them on in a shop and hear "wow, this one sounds different".

Apple products have long been sold as fashion and status symbols alongside their tech specs. Then they add the ease of integration into their ecosystem. Is that really the same as being "outperformed"?
Presumably that's an unsalted hash so that it can be checked against the list of certificate revocations, so whether it's a hash or not doesn't do anything for privacy. It's the same hash of Slack's dev certificate that every other Slack customer is sending.

Anyone snooping the connection can figure that out and see that my computer said "Check the revocation status of Slack Inc.," and the same goes for literally every other software company's certificate hash.

I'm glad it's being fixed but it's still bad that it was done this way in the first place.

I'd say being the world's biggest warmonger isn't quite aligned with what most people consider the Western values. Decorating soldiers for shooting down civilian airliners, finding that there was nothing wrong whatsoever in killing peacefully protesting students, or sentencing a murderer to a fine because he happened to be famous don't look that good either.
By that definition, Whatsapp (which is in functionality similar to Skype) is also a stretch of a social media app. Yet people still call it social media.

But why does the exact definition of social media matter here? Let's say that Facebook follows their Internet law and becomes allowed, would you then have a different opinion?
Marketing works, and people will believe that the audio quality is fantastic on awful products because the bass is boosted. They haven't ever used a good product, so they have nothing to compare it with.

Anyone that has tried my headphones that have V shaped sound (flat soundstage gets mixed reactions based on their preference) are blown away by how much better they are than their Beats, and at lower cost.

When people listen to my headphones and feel like they need to re-listen to their entire music collection, because they're hearing parts of the song they never heard before, that's how I know it's not all in my head.

Really makes you wonder how these delusional claims are being peddled all over this thread - especially when you can easily find fully functional 10 to 15 year old Lenovos and Dells across the enterprise world. They purchased some obscure chinese brands from Amazon one time and concluded this is what life outside of Apple is like.
>Boston is about as walkable

Boston is definitely walkable. My wife and I shared a car when living there, and I'd literally go weeks without actually getting in the car (she worked in a suburb, so she needed it for daily driving). Everything was generally within 1/2 mile, including school for the kiddo, sports fields, parks, grocery, hardware, etc. Transit was also convenient and plentiful.
I think you've nailed the core of it.

Managing traffic over your network and the devices on your network are very similar tasks that aim to accomplish very similar things. However, they are not equivalent tasks. Relying on traffic management to accomplish device management eventually runs into conflicts. These may stem from unmanaged devices, guest devices, unmanageable devices, or the consequences of the total lack of authentication and authorization.

Ultimately, managing traffic and managing devices are not tasks that replace one another.
You should make and trust an internal CA to issue certs for those, at least. You just have to add your root to whatever CAfile equivalent the program uses.
Maybe, but I don't think China has enough credibility in the US to blackmail anyone. The leader can simply claim it's Chinese propaganda and China wouldn't have a way to prove it, AFAIK.

Edit: Plus if that's all it takes to blackmail someone you can probably just bribe them with money or something just as easily.

Personally I think some research suggests it might be the suspension of the drum which should be easy to replace but there is no need for that to ever fail, even after < a year. Sorry for the off topic chat everyone :-/
As it should. Our industry seems to have normalized rent-seeking as status quo
Thank you for the reply. While I personally never had a single issue with upgrading between Fedora releases, I also have the skills the resolve any potential ones if I would. I don't want to deal with somebody's computer suddenly being borked halfway across the world with no way to assist. So far CentOS fit that niche beautifully, with seldom major clean reinstalls (i.e. wipe root) when I'm there (7.x > 8.x). I'm going to evaluate CentOS Stream and perhaps you are right and it's a viable replacement.
If we're setting "never had a failed relationship" as the bar, virtually everyone's an asshole.
Design Patterns – Introduction
Something like Qt or Photoshop does not need to “reach critical mass” - they actually did already do that while using a simpler licensing model. Which proves the “everything is SaaS” model is not necessary, but rather another way to extract more money from customers.

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

This ancient fortification was the only thing the Syrian army held in the city for months, if not years. It functioned exactly as an ancient fortress did - providing high ground, spotting enemy movement, safety of supplies, etc.

Another recent example is:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Battle_of_Donetsk_Airpo...

This was NOT fortified, but allowed concealment, and was held through heavy bombardment, offering a tactical advantage.

Yes, US/Russia/China could pound it into the ground, but that takes a LOT of ordinance.

Btw, WW II is FULL of these examples.

I think the misconception comes from the fact that "modern weapons" - jets, radars, comm sites, missiles, etc cant be "secured" in these facilities. This is true. But that doesn't mean they can't be held through heavy bombardment and house mortars, snipers, ATGMs, small supply caches, etc.
If that is true, what happened with the ant financial IPO? (genuine question, I am not sure how all that happened)
There's probably a lot of truth to this. It does go against the common sentiment here that open everything is always better. Well somebody will improve it themselves, right? So why hasn't anybody improved the open standard Bluetooth yet to meet those same standards of quality?

I think lately openness is massively overrated. This stuff is hard to get right, and it takes a lot of high-end hardware and tight collaboration between full-time engineers to do it. Random people working part-time in their garages and collaborating over Github will never do it. It works sort of okay for a few particular types of projects, but fails massively for many others, particularly things involving hardware. Only big corps can manage the budget and coordination required to do it right, and they'll only do it if it's closed, so they know they'll get the revenue from customers who want it done right.
Mostly as a result of capitalism, yes.
> I see you’ve never used AirPods between multiple devises. It’s become a lot better in the last year, but that’s only because it started out infuriating.

Not the OP, but I've used AirPods since day one, switching between my iPad, iPhone, and Mac and they've been fine. I honestly have no idea what you are talking about. It's one of the things I loved about them from go, in fact a lot of people loved the way they switched between devices from the start. It was one of their most praised features.
Switching to PipeWire
Products grew and evolved perfectly fine under the old regime of perpetual licensing and paying for a new release

> I for one appreciate products that evolve and improve.

And I do not. Software updates are a huge pain in the ass for almost no benefit to me
Gol rebranded the 737-MAX to 737-8 not to be confused with 737-800 which is part of the 737-NG percursor to the MAX. Not confusing at all.

Arguably this confusion is meant to undermine the consumer choice of aircraft during the purchase. GOL has heavy competition from LATAM, AZUL and AVIANCA on most of their routes, and none of these companies are using the 737-MAX AFAIK.
My experience with the WH-1000XM3 was awful. Sound cancel feature wasn't that great, couldn't pair with multiple devices at the same time and have the audio switch seamlessly between the two, and I also didn't want to have to trust Sony with my listening data. Call me paranoid if you'd like, but smart headphones are basically pumping out information about what we're listening to or hearing around us, and if I was going to trust any corporation to be user-centric on privacy in this regard it'd be Apple.

If Apple's headphones have high audio quality and a seamless experience across multiple devices and cool features prepping the way for VR/AR (the way other comments have suggested) then I'd buy a pair.
