The author also mentioned she (?) had some friends at Apple too. She didn't write "everyone".

And some of the "bad" people might just have been ordinary people who didn't dare to say no to the more real oppressors. Like, not being friends with, or helping, the kid at school who's getting bullied by the bullies
That is the rainbows and cheerful music subgroup, that sees Apple as the man.
That's why higher courts exist
What do you mean with "worse" in this context? I'm also seeing an uptick in news and rumours about UFO sightings/pending disclosure (not sure if confirmation bias...), but why would that be a bad thing?
I have a better proposal, stop giving Apple your money.
For a while (maybe pre-2015?) Charles Schwab had users append the 6 character 2FA code to the end of your password (which itself was limited to between 6 and 8 chars), so they were either splitting it client side or storing everything in plaintext...
This comment should have had more upvotes. I think link to relevant articles and Marconi plagialirizing his design of radio device would have piqued HN reader's interest.

Your comment made me take another look at StreetComplete, and there is now a lot more to do than when I last used it. So that's nice.
> This is completely true -- something that many outside of academics don't understand -- but I'm not sure it really makes the situation any better.

Indeed in some ways it's worse. When the money is insufficient, the established researchers get it first. Then everyone else has to increasingly work for established researchers as postdocs and similar positions... helping to yet further boost the advantage of the established researchers. It went from senior researchers versus junior researchers, to senior researchers with a herd of postdocs working for them, versus junior researchers.

At least if it was based on publications, everyone gets co-authorship and in fact the first author counts most. So the postdoc and the PI gain the same new items on their CV's for their collaboration. For grants, credit goes entirely to the PI.

This wasn’t his only option. He’d already filed an appeal with Apple, this is the result of the appeal. This was the likely outcome without any “media blitz”.
One thing that proved very useful for me was to decouple impulse from habit.

Instead of immediately jumping to HN or "yet another youtube conference video for some language I'm only tangentially curious about", I use a browser extension (Leechblock) to give myself a lot of time (an hour) at the end of the day.

This trick works in two ways

1. when I feel that urge during the workday, my emotional brain thinks "oh boy! a whole hour of this at the end of the day! I can totally wait because it will be an hour!"
2. when that hour comes, I find I only browse around for maybe 10 minutes before I get bored.

ymmv but after trying to go "cold turkey" for the longest time, this was the best solution I could figure out. I genuinely like the info on HN / certain parts of youtube, but having them as some emotional relief mechanism that I would get a "hit" from myriad times each day was the unhealthy part.
Sadly it is also a great example of Apple setting suddenly way too tight deadlines. Imagine rebranding Apple in a few days to Bananas.

It is also a case of disrespecting long term business relationships. It is one thing to demand name changes or functionality changes from a new product. It is quite another to do it with a long term partner. And these sort of things could be very, very easily avoided dimply by a few rules, may a few lines of code and more respectful and mature communication in these corner cases.
You'll never convince average Americans about the complexity of the problem. This is a massive systems problem, and we need law to guide how the system should operate so that the ecosystem around Apple doesn't suffer.
Job prior to this one was at a raw stage startup (two cofounders, both new college grad). Most of the back-end code base was written by a now-departed first employee (also a new grad), and it was a trash fire. The "tech" founder had a decent front-end code base, where they were very much doing what you describe: I could tell which parts of the code were written when, based on their skill growth, etc etc.

As an employee, it wasn't my call when to pay down the back-end's debt. I was very happy to get out of that.

Anyway. Yes, it's different when it's your debt, and what makes it your debt is then whether you're the one who decides when to pay it.
Was thinking maybe an Apple Watch with cell connectivity would bridge the gap. Anyone done this?
> Simplicity is everything. Skip the encryption - seriously.

I think it's reasonable to assume that anything we upload "to the internet" will stay there forever and there is a chance it'll become public at some moment in the future. Anyone can become a subject of scrutinity by legal or state actors, or high value target for blackmailers. If it happens it'll be in the worst moment and will incur major costs.

Two reasons it has to be like this, both of the "they already have a machine" sort:

1. The way ordinary through-hole film resistors are made is to deposit a carbon or metal film on the substrate, then trim it in a spiral pattern to set the resistance. To make a zero-ohm resistor, then, all they do is... not trim the film. Skipping a step is very easy for them to do!

2. The components must have identical body shapes to ordinary through-hole resistors, or the automated placement equipment can't handle them. It is possible to use wire jumpers as well, but that's a different machine. (Which absolutely exists and is used, it's just only found in assembly shops big enough to buy them.)
Thank you for this comment, underlining the advantage of nuclear versus renewables is a hard fight and I don't read that kind of comment very often.

Renewables clearly have no place when it comes to generate a lot of energy. They're interesting in a few cases where there's a lot of wind, or where there is no power grid and you need a little power.

Others advocate reducing energy consumption, but if we reduce co2 emissions from transport, we will need more electricity.
That doesn't really make sense. Whatever are a person's current indicators on the symptoms you just listed, if they were to worsen during this pandemic, people would probably consider going to the hospital.

Apart from perhaps coughing, smokers don't "regularly deal" with any of that. Smokers don't have a "sudden loss of sense of smell".
We have no way of knowing. Both scenarios are entirely plausible.
Base load power generation is not something that you need, but it’s more of a description how to run an electric grid with slow power plants like nuclear or coal. With renewables you of course need a different strategy.
Rarely does a man enter into the legal profession without being affected by the mental disease called morality.

Courts are extremely arbitrary and very often “find a way”.
Like you say, there’s no way to know for certain. But I 100% honestly believe this was the likely outcome regardless of any media attention. I’ve appealed plenty of dumb Apple decisions in the past and this is the normal outcome when there’s no media attention at all.

He filed the appeal, he didn’t wait for the result. The result has now come in. It’s a massive assumption to attribute that result to media attention.

Perhaps if your only experience of the Apple review process is hearing about it when it pops up on Hacker News then it’s easy to make the assumption that the media did this, because the media is always involved in those cases. But this is what happens without the media getting involved as well.
Sure thing! hello@newsy.co look forward to talking to you!

> tying his donations to having his name put on a hospital

Isn't that normal? There's a reason so many buildings have a person's name on them. Carnegie Hall, Enoch Pratt Free Library, Guggenheim Museum, The Getty, The DeYoung, Coit Tower, ...

AFAIK Half the buildings on any college campus are named after the donor that paid for it.

You want hospitals, how about the Huntington Hospital, Sutter Hospital, UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital, Helen Diller Medical Center, I'm too lazy to go look up more

Yes, that's just one of your points but if you're reaching that deep to find fault it detracts from your other points as it makes them suspect.
I heard about it from a friend of a friend, from my understanding it's just started up, and they're still getting things rolling. Would try contacting them via e-mail or the like if unsure, however, I use it offline on my android, can add it to homescreen and it apparently doesn't need a connection. If they can get the things you mentioned in order, may be an interesting alternative.

I did look at the sources tab, to check out why my laptop was using so much cpu during the decryption phase, and there are some argon2 webworkers that pop up, so some combo of that, and it clearly seems deterministic, since both my phone and laptop produce matching passes, when all params match.
> Smokers don't have a "sudden loss of sense of smell".

Right. They have a _persistent_ loss of sense of smell. Regaining sense of smell is one of the major changes that ex-smokers notice after quitting. This is very widely known.

> Apart from perhaps coughing, smokers don't "regularly deal" with any of that.

Google "smoker sense of smell" and "smoker sense of taste" and "smoker shortness of breath".
Then it looks to me they are fine with it.
It's mainly because Apple (or Google or whatever other monopoly you can think of) has accrued so much power that they can stifle competitors by replicating the competitors' features, entire products (and offer them for free), and engage in anti-competitive practices. All of these companies have hoards of cash and can basically ice out any smaller contender indefinitely. This is basically why the exit strategy of many startups is "get acquired by FAANG and friends".

The issue about civil liberty is a byproduct, a stop-gap measure to deal with the monopoly that currently exists. The actual issue is that these companies have accrued for too much power that it prevents competition. Is the product good? Yes or folks wouldn't buy it. That doesn't negate the incentives to behave in an anti-competitive way due to shareholder supremacy. I recall that most publicly-traded organizations could be sued by their shareholders for not pursuing clearly profitable ventures (e.g. replicating a popular product with their vast resources).
(Ten posts later) That's why we choose to offload most decision-making responsibilities to others.

Computed goto for efficient dispatch tables (2012)
I experienced this. When I moved, my sloppiness and classiness improved tremendously. However, I've recently started to notice it getting back into its old ways now that I'm more settled. The benefit is that I'm much more aware of it, and am able to recognize it and address it instead of never noticing it to begin with.
It existed before. Golang, Haskell, C, D (both kind of - int32_t), caml, and many others. It's i32 that deserves a "why this one?" comment.
So that's a valid point actually (and probably still valid today), however the more obvious reason is that 25 years there was no evidence drones had any real material capability - especially given at that time, the US had no idea they'd be involved in long, low-grade engagements.

And of course, the internet upon which our drones depend, didn't even exist as we know it now.

Drones were 'new tech' and not until they started being used, particularly in Afghanistan and Iraq 2, did it start to become very obvious how valuable they were especially in those kinds of conflicts.

Nobody predicted how incredibly 'useful' they would be.

Put all those pieces together, and you see that drones are what they are today.

And doubling down: completely useless in a conventional situation without support, cover, protection and basically superiority. A squadron of 5th gen. fighters with their great radar and support will take out any number of drones over time. As would ground based systems. With impunity. Predator style will never even come close to being 'in range' of the F35's let alone be able to target them with anything.

Drones light up on the dumbest, easiest radar, they fly relatively slowly, they have no defensive capabilities.

It's like comparing Apaches to trucks with a 50-cal + maybe a guy inside with a crappy shoulder mounted MANPAD out in the desert, with nowhere to hide.

All this talk of 'drones vs. F35s' literally when a drone has never even shot down another aircraft. We literally, just in 2018 were able to test fire some A2A munitions. We know fighters can easily clear out drones ... but the inverse is still purely speculative.

As for F35s: they are the only choice, their deployment is inevitable because there's nothing else on the horizon for a very long time. The development timeframe of new gear is growing quite a lot, surely due to bloat, but also to to complexity - an F35 is not an 'aircraft with a few missiles' - it's a 'weapons platform that happens to fly'.

A long time ago, I visited a distant family member's home in Texas, and his uncle was a senior leader on the F22 project, they were doing trials, it was very exciting! But took another 15 years (!) for that thing to reach maturity.

Surely the Americans have some things up their sleeves we don't know about, but how well deployed and useful can something be if it's a total secret? The old F117 Nighthawk was kept quiet until Iraq 1, but that was before the internet.

We're going to see F35s and upgraded 4th Gen Fighters in the mix for a long time. Canada is using it's F18's something like 3x longer than planned.

Corporations reflect the society they are in; expecting them to be an engine of moral progress will always leave you disappointed.
I came up with what I call Passformula.

The idea is to create a one-time, well-defined formula to create a password from the name for the service/website domain you’re trying to log in. You would apply this formula each time you create an account on any website and later use the same formula to get the password at the time of the login.

No need to store passwords (for the majority of the cases) and works like a charm for me.

I have to type in most web sites I want to visit

Huh, what browser? Or did you make it not remember anything visited? Don't they all figure out what you want these days? I mean if I type 'r' FF presents me reddit.com, 'n' is news.yconmbinator.com as best match etc. For the sites I visit most, it's actually faster than looking up a bookmark.
Apple (and arguably most medium to large tech vendors) don’t make decisions based on HN opinion/fashion, which is about as consistent as their review process.
Strange, I use arrow functions and const to make variables immutable all the time.

Classes are widely used in React although with the arrival of hooks they aren't as necessary.

I use async functions and generators extensively with redux-saga. I use object methods when I need them. Sometimes I use promises.
OTOH, smokers offer cigarettes and lights to each other, and arguably congregate for consumption and have small-talks more than non-smokers given smoking starts with peer group pressure effects, etc.
How about just the using a small phone? The small text size would make it hard to use for too long.
Hard to disagree that no longer needing to distract onesself is the goal, but the difference between "be intentional in almost every action" and "be more mindful of actions, including picking up one's phone" is large.

Intentionality in every action is not a useful framing for most people.

Why would they be?

> Is it just not cool to do anymore or something?

Mostly. It's not like you can give someone a super-death penalty, and when progressive criminalization has made it so that everything that qualifies as treason is also covered by other crimes that carry similar sentences but don't require two witnesses to the same over act or a confession on top of the standard criminal “beyond a reasonable doubt” burden of proof, why would a prosecutor ever bother with treason charges except as a political stunt?

Maps.me isn't really "open source software". It's a commercial entity and one of the most popular mapping applications in the world. (Definitely #1 for navigating on foot.)

Works fine with Python's standard library. Files in a ZipFile can be read in a streaming manner. There is no need to store all the data in memory.

import io, csv, zipfile

max_lines = 10
with zipfile.ZipFile("data.zip") as z:
for info in z.infolist():
with z.open(info.filename) as f:
reader = csv.reader(io.TextIOWrapper(f))
for i_line, line in enumerate(reader):
if i_line >= max_lines: break
print(line)
Or, perhaps, it’s not a system problem at all. “You’re all too dumb to understand this” isn’t much of an argument.

Getting the DOJ and congress to force Apple to open their platform is generally a terrible idea, and will not likely find broad support in the US or EU.
I'm building a custom email forwarding services for your domain. Only have 2 customers right now though.

https://hanami.run/

Every time I bought a new domain and need to setup DNS or verify email, all I want is to receive email from that domains. But setting up postfix or configuring lambda/ses is a pain. So I build this service.

All you have to do is point MX records to my servers and you will be able to receive incoming email.

I had the same thought, but more as an illustration of why the approval process worked exactly as Apple would like here: they likely want to establish a barrier against whimsical provocative marketing but not against serious app development.

If you're willing to make a serious case for why your app is called "Heroin" they might approve it. If you're clearly doing it to make a point, they have every incentive to censor it.
> but I'd genuinely like clarity on why it's considered a matter of civil liberty to develop whatever you want and force Apple to distribute it on their store?

Ideally the store wouldn't exist, or at least it would be possible to bypass it.

To be honest and I am sure 80% handle it like I did.

I used ONE password for most sites before using password managers. I had 5 PWs Top and I used them everywhere.
They weren't particularly strong or secure.

So if someone got my Password he had access to most of my accounts anyway.
