Britain has nowhere near the capabilities it had back then it terms of logistics (ie ships taken up from trade). Moreover, they are getting rid of a huge amount of airlift: https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/c-130-hercules-fleet-to-be-r...

Even for Falklands conflict, they barely managed to win, and that was with assistance from their friends vis-a-vis missile codes, satellite imagery, etc.
I don’t think anyone is saying that iOS does report back to Apple (and I don’t think there is any evidence that iOS does this).

The original concern was caused because iOS would still activate location services and display the icon during these checks, even if you had turned location services off completely in settings.
At some point, however, it's momentum and people in the engine room driving the ship rather than the captain. Replace bezos with another decent business person and I'm sure they would have made similar decisions along the way and ended up in a similar place today. It's not like bezos has some sacred gut, he just hires experts and listens to them like any other CEO would do.
IIRC, ZK would be more modern and cloud-friendly if it could self-assemble with a preshared passphrase alone. It's good technology otherwise, it's just a PITA to deploy, configure, and support.
Oh true, there are still use cases where it's valuable. `out var ` also comes to mind.
> When the user is _not_ logged in, iOS collects "location" whereas Android does not.

This may be only technically true. It's not Android, it's Google Play Services, which collects "anonymized", high-accuracy[1] location data constantly.

[1] Yeah, that's actually a contradiction-in-terms. There is no such thing as anonymized, high-accuracy location data.
Please provide evidence of this because Apple's official documentation says otherwise:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203033

They do send nearly WiFi hotspots for crowd sourcing purposes but it is never in conjunction with your local IP address (which is an identifying piece of information).
This is false. Here it is straight from the creator of the language: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwajp0g-bY4
The article states that the benefit of target-typed new-expressions is that "the type declarations are nicely aligned" compared the use of "var".

I think a better justification is that fields and properties does not support type inference, so this can avoid some redundant type expressions for initializes, just like "var" can avoid redundant type expressions for local variables.

Of course it would be more elegant if fields/properties supported type inference like "var", but that is a can of worms since you can have recursive dependencies.
> If you're worried about this, vote for pro-labor politicians

Not many people know that here in the UK we got something like IR35 which innocently says that if someone works as an employee should be taxed as an employee (this was introduced by Labour to tackle employees registering a company on Friday, and going to work for the same company on Monday on b2b basis and paying less tax as a result). Now current government (Tories) added changes to this law so that now a client has to determine whether you are a genuine contractor or a disguised employee and then tax you at source. Still nothing sinister at the first glance, right? The problem is that because of that change employers will be able to construct their contracts in the way that contractor / employee will be always classed as a disguised employee, but only for tax purposes. This means workers hired this way will legally not have any employment rights - I mean their only recourse will be against their own company, that will not have any profits to care for employment benefits and so on. So for example if your de facto employer fires you when they learn you are pregnant, you only be able to take to court yourself (your own company).
Anyway - I think much simpler explanation is here - https://norightsemployee.uk/step-by-step

What I want to say though - our Labour party and unions did absolutely nothing to stop this. This not only can render unions obsolete in the hands of crafty corporations, but essentially strips away decades of what Labour was fighting for.

So even if you vote Labour or pro-labour parties - there is no guarantee they will not sell you down the river.
The responsible agency is rightfully embarrassed by this oversight, and has now taken stringent measures to ensure something like this never happens again

- Henceforth, all tweets can only ever be sent from a remote-desktop server that has to be hosted in a security-clearance-5 site

- In order to access the remote-desktop, 2 government employees, who both have 10+ years of government experience, will need to jointly log into the server together. The 2 users will need to alternate keypresses and mouse-clicks, in order to prevent either one from abusing their power

- Both employees will need to be using a computer that comes equipped with a built-in webcam, that has been security cleared by the NSA. This webcam should be running NSA custom-built software that continuously monitors the faces of both employees, and locks the computer if it detects anything suspicious or anomalous

- To prevent the possibility of misuse or bias, all tweets will need to be pre-cleared by the CIA's department of information warfare

In other news, why does it cost the government so much money, and take so long, to get anything done!? Stay tuned for more.
Yeah feels to me like it’s going to be the next big thing. Does seem a little early days though, but this is a developer conference I suppose.
This is a dumb name.

Two theories:

1. Some young VP convinced the company to do it; that person will only last a couple years before they move on. The company will change its name back shortly.

2. It’s an April fools joke that accidentally got published too early.
No, not at all. I've had it happen after leaving the machine much longer than that. The thing is it happens quite infrequently, and isn't behaviour I can reproduce on demand, so I've not been able to reliably isolate the set of conditions that cause the problem.

As I said in another comment, the first few times I thought I must simply have forgotten to lock the machine. But of course then I became paranoid about locking the machine and so when it continued to happen from time to time I realised something really wasn't quite right.

Like I say though, it's just not behaviour I can reproduce on demand - super annoying.

It's most likely some quirk of my machine configuration, or possibly a driver issue (though I tend to like to keep things up to date), but I have a super-unadventurous Dell XPS so it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
Using 80Mhz channels I found the default configuration never exceeded 200Mbit/s using iperf. For me "reasonable" is closer to 800Mbit/s, which is roughly the theoretical limit for 80Mhz with 2 spatial streams. I run my tests with my devices sitting 1 meter from the AP. This is on a hAP AC, and like I said, I get much better performance (close to the theoretical max) running OpenWRT on the same unit. I have had similar issues with the RB4011 and cAP AC, and in both the NYC area and suburban Virginia (so it is not just an issue of spectrum crowding in the city).
The compute modules have a DFU mode and the flash tool loads a small binary to effectively turn it into a USB stick to write to the internal flash.

But that being said, I've burned out plenty an SD card. Haven't managed to do that to an eMMC module yet.

Also, on devices like the Beaglebone, you can use eMMC and an SD card at the same time.
Genuine question: what languages have you tried and are comparing Go against? I ask because if anything, Go is as mediocre as they come with regards to it's design. There's very little about Go that stands out as being different. For many, that's it's attraction: it doesn't try to do much different and instead focuses on the basics. For others that's what's off putting about Go: it's basic and doesn't offer anything new or different.

Also comparing Go to languages like Javascript is never going to end well because they're entirely different paradigms in almost every category aside the C-like syntax (dynamic vs AOT statically compiled, functional and object orientated vs imperative, loosely typed vs strictly typed, multi-threaded (albeit with green threads) vs single threaded).
I disagree on IMEI. It never changes and is unique.

I like this perspective. Unless it greatly enhances knowledge or job opportunities, then I'd rather have something that is just thrilling to me personally. I'd rather help out skydive instructors or open water shark dives than work at a place that does not grow or develop my career.
> What a miserable existence that must be. Bezos has always struck me as a man who cares about nothing else only his own personal wealth and success.

On the contrary, he is probably very happy with the way things are. You may be buying into the "Just World fallacy"; there are plenty of people you may find despicable who are leading happy, fulfilling lives, by their standards.

I think the antipathy towards workers a combination of 2 things: it takes a fair amount of conceit/self-belief to dare think you can change the world (statistically speaking). The second thing is, even if you didn't start of with that mindset, success usually brings a certain post-hoc justification in the vein of "Clearly, I have been successful, therefore I'm better than most", which easily morphs into "My needs are more important; the little people are too focused on short-term goals and yet I have to compete with them for the same resources to achieve even more important goals I have planned". As someone from a low-income background, I have noticed that the more successful I have been, the less empathy I have, and I'm only middle-class. I don't know if it's because of my increasing income, increasing age, or combination of both.

I bought 3 EAP330s and TP-Link deprecated them after a year or so. No more firmware upgrades for their (then) top "enterprise" access points. Rumour says they weren't happy with the chipset, so decided to abandon them altogether (just this model, cheaper ones were on different chipsets and support was available for longer). Last time I checked there was no OpenWRT support of any kind. They did hang when I had port aggregation enabled and seemed to run rather hot. But feature-wise and non-trunked-networking-wise they were fine, supported what I was looking for, no cloud, I didn't even use the controller, you can just manage them "the old school" way. But don't count on years of support.

I disagree that telemetry is inherently bad. As product engineers, telemetry is often our only visibility into whether or not a system is functioning healthily. How else can you detect difficult-to-spot bugs in production?

IMHO, it's not the same at all.

A valid VIN allows you to buy buy all new sheet metal, drive line, interior and still register it as the original year and make.

How does an NTF allow you to recreate the art?
I think that C# is underrated. Although TypeScript is my default language choice for most programming, C# / .NET is my choice for cases where:

- high performance is important
- or interop with native libraries is required (because C#'s DllImport attribute makes that super simple)

Another benefit is that C# is syntactically similar to TypeScript (they were both designed by Anders Hejlsberg after all), so switching between the two languages feels easy. Java and Go are both similar to C# in terms of performance, but interfacing with native code isn't as simple with those languages, and they're also not as similar to TypeScript as C# is (especially Go, which is quite different).
That works for exactly as long as the data hasn't come out. Once the data comes out... well, you've got questions to answer.
> So, central bank fiat currency has intrinsic value, is crime proof, and has limited supply?

Central bank fiat currency is as close to having intrinsic value as anything, because you must use it (to pay taxes, at least).

He said it was associated with crime, not that it was good for it. I wouldn't be surprised if The Silk Road was the first use of cryptocurrency that wasn't a gimmick.

Being that dang is the mod he essentially is the website. Therefore it is foolish to tell him that he's wrong. It's akin to saying the colour of the site header is wrong. Better to instead inquire how he judges what is a sufficient breach of his guidlines, rather then telling him he ignores them.

I don't follow. Why?
Not really; a direct descendent of APL is very widely used, and it's called Numpy. It's just that array-orientation, while great (especially for numerics), is insufficiently general to comfortably express arbitrary algorithms. You can write "APL" in many modern languages, but people still prefer to use traditional control flow for many purposes; hell, even APL provides this "escape hatch" (though it looks bolted-on).

Ubiquiti really aren't in the same ballpark as AWS or Microsoft, which are the companies people use that argument for, and you can bet your ass their security is better than in most places.

What is it that you think interests people in seeing sexualized depictions of children when it's not the children themselves? Perhaps someone who lacks empathy may simply not care that they're fantasizing about children being abused, but I'm honestly trying think of any other scenario that is more plausible than them being sexually attracted to children.

What unique quality does child sexual abuse add to fiction which would override the loss of sexual desire that the average person feels with children?
And neither will Starship when it lands on the moon... it'll do the exact same thing as the LEM. The flip is due to Earth's atmosphere. And there are no runways on Mars, so you can't make a shuttle for it, so you don't have any options left.
Most of the info Apple sends shouldn't be considered telemetry though.

The hardware info is used to make sure that blacklisted/stolen devices are rendered inoperable.

The other requests are simply due to used apps...it seems the researcher is unclear about many aspects of iOS. i.e. typing a url into Safari kicks off to find links, apps, etc. that will be the logical next step for a "search"

He also doesn't understand the difference between Siri the voice assistant and Siri the platform.

I could walk into Best Buy and buy the game I want off the shelf. I have no such option if I want to buy an iOS app from a store or the developers themselves.

Steam also don't engage in anti-competitive behavior and prevent billions of people from using alternative game distribution methods like Apple does.

What we need is real competition in the mobile app distribution market to determine whether or not that 30% is actually fair, efficient and competitive. As it stands, there is no competition in mobile app distribution.
The interjection of SJ makes the moment 'very serious and contemplative'. Like being in Church, listening to a Sermon.

That's the complete opposite of sports where people spectate to literally get away from controversy, 'serious' things.

For many Americans, especially men, it's their '2 hour safe space' where they can have a beer and not worry.

Imagine if you're doing Yoga, and the well meaning instructor starts in about a rant about the importance of 'American Defence Spending'. Most progressives might have to agree with that on some level, but it's the last place they want to hear about it. Or even BLM for that matter.

The worst part is that the popular antagonism towards the keeling is misrepresented as a general malaise towards 'Social Justice' - which is generally false - as if to say the people having dinner interrupted by slightly violent BLM protesters must be 'anti Black' or whatever.

It's reasonable that athlete's want to use their voice for change, and I think most people would accept that, but they way they've gone about it is wrong.

I don't think many people realize how much 'bubble thinking' is going on, it's really bad.

I've lost interest in so many things 'American' I feel almost everything is inundated with culture war toxicity from every side.
Ideally some of that data can be aggregated and acted upon locally to the car computer, so that once an arbitrary car manufacturer closes shop, you can still retain the value provided by that telemetry.

Sending it off to their servers and having them manually call you up is nice, but I'd hate for that to suddenly go away because of some business that is outside of your control as a consumer.
Perhaps the code itself couldn't be used by other vendors, but the ideas/protocols/interfaces could easily have been implemented by anybody who was so inclined. No trade secrets, no patents, and no dependencies on heaps of legacy cruft were necessary to be compatible. That's an important difference with "Embrace, extend, extinguish".

This seems to be such an obvious feature that I'm surprised they are only adding this now.

Unions don't control as much money by definition. Any Union's coffers are pulled from dues coming out of the pay of the workers. While theoretically, a Union may make more than the employees of a particular Union workplace, it would be only because you took into account cash flow from other Union workplaces.

Statistical multiplexing is the only thing that makes unions viable to my understanding, and I may be wrong on that, as warchests may be partitioned by workplace, I can't confirm whether or not that is the case.

This is also one of the reasons why I'm not sold on the illegalization of secondary strikes. Labor should absolutely exploit network effects to make up for the fact that the capital class will pretty much by default.
Once upon a time fixing bugs in production didn't happen because the product got all the bugs out before production. If it had bugs in production, the product failed.

Making a more clever burner account would take more time and money for little benefit.

Neither pixels nor ems are the right solution, and a side-effect of an era of low-resolution screens, what we need is real physical units, and not just for fonts, but for every UI element. I should be to say that a button is intended to be an inch tall (or 2cm or whatever) -- the point is that it should have a height relative to reality, not relative to nothing. Imagine if anything else worked like dimensions in software: you asked for chair 3 feet tall but every maker of chairs had a different definition of a foot. This is how points, pixels, everything works on the web. And the most important thing to remember here is if you still like this system, you can build it on top of one that fundamentally relies on real units at the bottom. But it is incredibly difficult to do the reverse. CSS has "in" and "cm", but they don't mean inch or centimeter. On most browsers, "1 in" is defined as 96 (CSS) pixels[1]. Except, if you print, then 1 inch DOES mean 1 inch. Which hilariously means that if you want to use CSS to lay out something to print, you can't tell how it will actually look until you print, because there's no "please just render like you would when you print" mode. This has been requested, and the classic answer of "who would ever want that" was the response. You can with a lot of work (and JS unfortunately, unless you pre-generate a huge CSS media query for a wide range of screen resolutions) create yourself a unit such that 1em = 1 physical unit, but this has other issues when you start wanting to do other things in CSS.

Screen UI is the only aspect of design where we pretend that precision shouldn't matter. It is stockholm's syndrome. I remember how people said that its fine (or better?!) that you can't know "for sure" what font will display on the screen on the web. MAYBE it's Times New Roman, but maybe not! You should be flexible. This is nonsense. Perhaps that's the reality we live, but it's not desirable. We shouldn't fool ourselves into preferring that. Clearly if we could make the exact font show up it would be a better state of affairs. Again, if you really believe font uncertainty is critical to the web experience, then by all means, add a script that randomly swaps in a different serif font occasionally. Boom, everyone is happy!

Dimensions is the same kind of problem: we're using ideas from an age where screen were 256 pixels wide. When you design for print, you think about actual size of the produced object. Just because someone can resize the window does not mean that the height of the letter x should be some abstract unknowable quantity. And just because you can set the baseline in size to a specific physical size doesn't mean users can't apply a zoom to that. All it means is that the language with which we communicate to each other is real and not completely different depending on who is reading it.
