Apple might be good for privacy (against 3rd parties - Apple still has your info), but they're terrible for freedom.

If you value your freedom and liberty, this is hypocritical. Apple benefits from their revenue stream not being dependent on advertising, but they're just as unjust in locking down their devices and preventing competition and open computing.

At the end of the day, I think lack of freedom is worse than eroded privacy. They're both bad, but freedom is essential.
Bit of a shame really as we still send lots of faxes (medical software company) but 12 months is plenty of notice and there are other providers out there. ClickSend looks pretty good to me. We may move our SMS business away from Twilio after this too.

That's true. I agree it is a worse change and obnoxious for twitter to do (unless there is some easy way I/we just aren't aware of that lets you easily get the tweets as before).
You might want to check your thermals or OC settings.

Let’s assume that it wouldn’t impact Facebook’s tracking ability. If so, there’s nothing to worry for Facebook. It’s surprising that Facebook is engaging in a PR war with Apple for something that doesn’t impact their core business.
If it has FB screaming this loudly, I'm guessing it is having much more impact at FB than you are giving it credit. If it meant nothing to FB, then they'd just look at the changes from Apple, and shrug it off. No public outcry necessary. This is not what FB is doing.
Yeah same in Norway.

For example if someone asks me if I want to go somewhere with them at a specific time, and I would like to go with them but I already plan to do something else at that time, then I would say “nja” and while I say that think out an alternative suggestion for when we might go.

Another example is if I talk with someone and they say something that I agree with but then say something I disagree with. Then I would say “nja”. In this case it would be similar to English where you might say “yes and no”. And then state what I agree with and what I don’t agree with and why.
I'm surprised at the suggestion in the article that Apple won't do something "messy" like push a fix via antivirus, but will instead just leave un-updated Macs around forever unless users (a) find out this a problem somehow, and (b) do a manual update.
E-mail, especially when the MTA and MUA is connected to different environments, which requires relaying, could be particular slow (minutes, hours) if the e-mail hops on busy services.
Apple won’t show this warning to any apps that don’t track you across apps and websites, including theirs. Where’s the hypocrisy?
> Moving the goalposts. I said that planned obsolescence is not, as you originally alleged, a general property of a market-driven economy.

I had to ask, because that's otherwise your MO.

> Because like I already explained, product and brand reputation are extremely important for market success.

There's no brand reputation risk if most large manufacturers have similar durability.

> The example that I gave was how Apple's hard-earned excellent reputation

How can you keep using Apple as an example when it has been one of the most obvious offender and is also one of the giants within the most obviously offending industry - smartphones.

> It demolishes this idea that the market has a general incentive to reduce product longevity.

No, it just shows that technology has moved forward with regards to a advanced industrial product.

> like consumers consciously choosing more disposable products over longer-lasting ones

You've cherry-picked the only type that fits your narrative, preference for disposable products (which I actually agree with you on, but causes of this is an interesting topic in itself). But to pick that and not to explain the type where billions of dollars each year are spent on trying to create new non-essential needs that aren't really there making the existing products obsolete, a.k.a "Perceived obsolescence"? How is this "efficient"?

> but any reasonable person who read your original comment would agree that the latter was what you were originally referring to.

This is my original comment:
"Well, yes, that capitalism will cause a production craze is even written in the Communist Manifesto. What "effective" means in practice however is another thing - there's nothing effective about planned obsolescence, great for the current measurement of economic growth though."

How is this inconsistent with focusing on the inefficiencies of all kinds of planned obsolescence of the free market?

> Googling to find a bunch of articles about planned obsolescence and then listing them without checking first to see if they are credible sources or even providing a summary of the evidence they contain to accompany them is completely inconducive to constructive discussion.

I think even that is way over the line. Having to show the review means it's likely to drive the reviews up. I'd probably add a star or two because I'm afraid of conflict. And if the reviews give a discount, you encourage first time buyers to give a (made up) review before buying.

The only acceptable way to do it is "Please give us a review at [site]". No discounts or promotions.

If you think of the government as a union for the country's workers this explains why the minimum wage exists. It avoids prevents the wage race to the bottom that creates sweatshops. It also explains why some people see the minimum wage as the best method of "negotiating" with employers.
Running the analogous

ln -sf /dev/zero /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6

will have an analogous effect on an "alive" Unix image. I mean, a Unix machine. :-)

Incidentally, in the latest Squeak,

True := False.

doesn't work -- the compiler complains that you can't assign into a read-only variable. So let's try this:

Smalltalk at: #True put: False.

But now the metaprogramming system complains you're trying to modify a read-only binding! So we view source on ClassBinding>>value:, and see that a resumable exception is being used to guard the modification, so let's explicitly signal that we REALLY want to modify that binding:

[Smalltalk at: #True put: False]
on: AttemptToWriteReadOnlyGlobal
do: [:ex | ex resume: true].

Finally! Now, evaluating "True" yields "False".

But the image keeps running! Use of the literal class True seems to be rare enough that things are OK for at least several minutes after the change.

Doing this, however, definitely should immediately torpedo things:

true become: false.

... huh. It didn't work. It used to! Again, on this current Squeak version, we see a different behaviour. This time, it says "Cannot execute #elementsExchangeIdentityWith: on read-only object #(false)".

So we'll have to try harder:

true becomeForward: false.

That doesn't work either! Same error as for #become:.

Welp, I'm actually all out of ways to crash this modern image in analogous ways to the easy pitfalls of images of yesteryear...
Nope, that would be Weyland-Yutani itself.
Rule number one of reviews: never trust them if they are on the site selling you something.

It's pretty simple. If you want a toaster, then google "Toaster X review". If all you can find is reviews on sales sites, ignore them. If you can find an in-depth review on toaster-aficionado.com with full disclosure of sponsorships etc - great.

People are just lazy to expect to see a set of stars on a product page informing them on whether a product has good quality or not. Just give up that expectation.
Any review system eventually kills all below 5-star businesses. So it is a matter of survival to game the system - because everyone else does.

Yes the food truck’s request sucked, but without it they’d be out of business.
I played it for 35 hours (on PC) and encountered only one bug (which could be resolved by reloading the level). I didn't even see weird glitching animations which I would have expected more of. Maybe this is worse for non-stealth playstyles I don't know. But my experience certainly didn't match what people write on the internet. So either I am just lucky or people were too hyped about it?

The most annoying thing IMO is that the pacing is a little to fast for my taste. Constant calls about gigs which are probably meant to keep people entertained. These are IMO unnecessary because the city is fascinating enough in its own.

This game already had me in tears and was certainly worth its money already. The characters and story is amazing. The depth of the world is amazing. Visual quality is amazing. Waiting will make it only better.
> This is a very conspiratorial vision of things.

History is full of conspiracies.

> Really, it's just that social networks work by having a lot of people, and lots of people are on Twitter because other people are on Twitter (I think there's an audience thing as well).

The network effect is real, but it is not the only effect. Twitter and other tech giants now think that their role is to protect the world from information they deem wrong. As well, prominent people in media and politics are urging them to take on that role more expansively. Naturally, therefore, they will oppose competitors whose distinguishing feature is to have less or no censorship.

The media establishment does not look kindly upon those who seek to deconstruct it.
I've played it for 12 or so hours on my non-pro PS4. Had to restart once because the controls stopped working ("mouse cursor" just moved to the bottom of the screen/huge delay in input) and one time a hint overlay got stuck and covered 1/3 of the screen and couldn't be closed. Savegame reload fixed it (the other bug required a restart).

The gameplay is fun and I don't regret buying it (physical copy). But I'm a sucker for the cyberpunk theme and Witcher 3 is probably my #1 console game of all time so maybe I'm willing to accept too much. Far from unplayable though and I don't really care for maxed out graphics so the look and feel is just fine for me.
> Apple is doing GOOD!

only on the ad/privacy/security section.

On the "we con you to buy a new $1000 phone every year by manipulating the CPU/battery so instead you paying $70 for a new battery, we skin you" they did pretty bad and I will never buy another Apple device for that.

On the "we force you to buy our OWN UNIQUE cables because f... the global standards and nature" they are still doing pretty bad

On the "look we are installing NFC on our phones, a true innovation" when other phone makers have been for years, but still don't let you use the device freely" not so good either.

On the "you can only buy (iOS) apps from us and nobody else, yeah!" I don't find that so good either.

So.. .there is a saying, there are two ways to have the tallest tower. Build the tallest tower, OR make sure the competition doesn't build theirs. There is a small(?) chance to try to cripple a lot of the competition's (ad) profits by introducing these controls.

I am pro-privacy and exist outside the FB and Google ecosystems.

Apple is doing that good, but they ain't saints. They still got plenty way to go to sainthood. They need to fix/correct plenty of things, and some are not fixable.

Wouldn't it have been wiser to restrict CSS to document-oriented use cases, accepting that for apps you need Javascript anyway, and then just measure and position elements programmatically?

Measuring DOM elements and moving them around in JS is quite slow. Transforms are fast, but understanding where things are after they've been transformed is hard. JS layout is also somewhat prone to problems with things like browser zoom level, OS display scaling (although I've not seen that be an issue in a couple of years), differences between browsers and browser versions, and so on. Layouts with CSS, so long as you're being reasonably conservative, do work quite well in 2020.
I learned during the first .com wave while using our own in-house version of ActiveAOL inspired server, and friends doing Zope projects, not to take shortcuts with dynamic languages at scale.

Static typing does solve some issues, provides tooling opportunities, and easier ways to generate native code when that performance gets called into action and like here the application is behind any hope of getting rewritten.

In fact, pretty much so, that all dynamic languages that got widespread adoption are now trying to fit some kind of static typing support into their infrastructure.
I am not using it but the features sound fantastic, like a complete network for every jail without complex docker network interface solutions.

Why dont they do a freebsd container runtime based on the jail semantics? They sound much more effective than the linux ones. Ok, the problem would be on how to run linux executables on freebsd.
I agree with you - the world isn't set up to benefit young Americans in this generation as easily as in the 60's and 70's. I'm not sure we'd agree on the causes though.

People are still told to go to expensive college. A cheap community college degree in STEM is worth much more than an expensive liberal arts education. A self-taught programmer has more marketable skills than a liberal arts degree holder. The freely available loans made the institutions money hungry, and they grew to absorb all of the new income.

We really need to fix education.

The post-war / post-energy boom is over, and the easy gains that yielded have faded. Today's economy is harder. The knowledge economy is not as accessible and requires more training. The US can't compete with the cost of manufactured goods as our standard of living and minimum wage are too high. By importing, we're moving that negative externality of hard or menial labor to economies that can handle it - bringing them up to our level, but destroying those opportunities domestically.

Housing is still affordable outside of major cities. I'm not sure what to do about the price of housing in major urban areas though. It's supply and demand, and wages for the average worker haven't increased.

Why not go to the extreme and just use TileDB for all the documents? By using it you can utilize universal storage engine supporting Arrow format that should work with SQL, NoSQL, dataframe and even streaming systems.
I wish browsers had built-in mechanism for showing the cookie banners. After all, cookies are just an HTTP header sent from server and it's up to the user-agent to handle it.

There could be a standard header such as cookie-privacy-policy which would point to url containing the policy in standadrd format (html?) and the browser could show it in standard way (by user's settings). Personally I would be happy with just a little "privacy policy" icon in url bar, similar to https lock icon and reader view icon (in Safari).
Apple Pay draws antitrust attention
On PC: myriad of ways to never see an ad again. I haven't seen an ad for years (hosts + AdblockPlus + Privacy Badger + NoScript)

On Android: same, NoRootFirewall: blocking either for each app, or set global rules and block *.facebook.com, most of the Google IPs, most of the analytics, etc.

On Apple: good luck :) (or feel free to write a tip for others -that use apple- see.
They can do it because the user is logged in in all those apps. It's the same apple ecosystem. The problem is really that Facebook tracks you outside their ecosystem. App developers and website marketers have been willing to sell out their users to Facebook and Google in return for some analytics.

Yeah, I played a lot on PC and the bugs are not any more common than in any modern game, saw a few T-Poses but that was pretty much it. Compared to the state Skyrim launched in(backwards flying dragons anyone?) it's a peach.

However. The PS4 base performance is absolutely dire. Like, in my opinion that's just not playable, running in sub 20fps.

However #2 - this is not without precedent. Remember when Doom started coming out on some platforms that it has absolutely no business being on? I think on the SNES it ran at like 15fps, with massively cut down music and effects - and I doubt people were returning it for refunds en masse. I do imagine standards have changed since then though.
I don’t think this would really count as CLI, you still load up a full browser.
Changing the default browser doesn't get you much far:

1. Not all apps will use the default browser.

2. You can't uninstall Safari

3. Safari's content blocking framework doesn't work for third-party browsers. This means no adblocker.

4. iOS has a great time-tracking feature that lets you block websites beyond certain usage. Once again, only works on Safari.

Not to mention that we still don't have extensions in Firefox.
I don’t think it’s a conspiracy theory to acknowledge that the exposure twitter got from media outlets universally promoting their twitter handles next to their core brands had a significant impact on twitters early growth, as well as a reinforcing effect to this day. Not every small social network gets that type of treatment.

Facebook did not grow this way, even though their relationship with the media is nearly indistinguishable from twitter’s today.
They participate in much the same economy, however, so money flows even across currency lines must be managed.

It is like trade agreements anywhere else, but internalized into the EU's bureaucratic infrastructure.
Ive been developer for 24 years and I can remember the hell it was centering stuff even prior to CSS world.

When I was a kid, my grandma baked home bread (1930s rural style, she was born in 1926 in eastern Slovakia) and never used any sugar for that.

Bread has been staple food for millennia. For most of that time, sugar was rare, expensive or totally unavailable.

You start from something simple and repeat this every day forming habit. Gradually it would build general self-control.

For example, you start by always eating breakfast at a set time. After a few months you add going to sleep at a specific time. Once you regulate sleeping and eating you can add some exercise. After you learn how to control your physiological needs you will become more focused at work and daily life.

Remember to take things slowly.
I don't think it's about laziness; 99% of the time bailing out of a list operation early vs processing the entire list is a semantic difference that I want to be able to see when I'm reading the code. If what you want to do is really and truly just a performance optimization then the language runtime should be able to do it.
Coinbase has two things that are a solid moat, most important is network effects which lead to liquidity, second is trust in custody.

First time I've ever come across this project, so bear with me.

Is it really necessary to use the word "breach" in a big yellow banner at the top?

The word "breach" is usually associated with some kind of security penetration, and might be scary to first-time users (like me).

On further reading, it seems something more akin to a "desynchronization event requiring your attention", which is far more reassuring.
My understanding is that the greedy advertisers, Rupert Murdoch empire, and WPP have been steadily forcing Google to share even more information about Google properties and used on Google properties for at least a few years now.

Google needs subscribers so it can go to these unscrupulous actors and show then the middle finger.

It is very interesting to see Google reaction to being forced to share even more information with advertisers. I am completely with Google. Why should advertisers on Google properties know more about Google business than Google knows itself?

Now the question for everyone else is: why should Google (or Facebook) know more about your business than you know yourself? I actively discourage against using Facebook JavaScript SDK in any web project I’m involved in because most of the time all small companies really need is a sharer.php link. It is mind boggling how little people think about “let’s use their SDK”.
