I'm confused by the conflation of 'scraping' and 'leaking'. Is this FB email talking about the mass scraping of information users put on their public profiles or the illicit acquisition of non-public user data?
Huh? It certainly is E2EE.

"Whether attached to a handbag, keys, backpack, or other items, AirTag taps into the vast, global Find My network1 and can help locate a lost item, all while keeping location data private and anonymous with end-to-end encryption."
The problem is that nobody has really found a way to bridge the chasm between touchscreen UI design and mouse/keyboard UI design.

Attempts to get there tend to dumb down and limit the functionality of the mouse+keyboard experience.

I guess the obvious option would be to let Pro users switch an iPad into a 'MacOS mode' with the full desktop interface, mostly relying on an additional keyboard+mouse. But I can't see Apple going for anything like that. They're more likely to push the desktop interface more in the direction of iOS...
Is herd immunity to Covid-19 possible? Experts increasingly say no
Not really. I live in a nice 4BR urban house that’s about $100-150/sqft, that isn’t in the Montana wildnerness or something.

I used to commute to Manhattan a few times a month.

Even in a modern sprawl shitshow like the DC or Boston Metro area, it’s way cheaper and easier to get housing than many California locales.

End of the day, there’s just a shit ton of money combined with insane policy decisions in California. It’s a inspiring, puzzling and disturbing place, all at the same time.
> I'd like this detection to come in stock Android, similar to how the Contact Tracing thing was shared b/w Apple/Google.

This would be an ideal scenario, even if it took longer to roll out for Android phones thanks to the OS fragmentation

Even if that's not happening, I think its not entirely unreasonable for some reliable third party app to pop up an make disabling the AirTags with an Android device almost as easy as an iPhone.

Thanks! I did enjoy the occasional JRE podcast before he sold out to Spotify. This way I can keep an eye on the feed in case he has some interesting folks on.
> Immediately end all lockdowns, mask mandates and capacity restrictions. All those aged 70 and above will have the option to stay in quarantine

Aside from the stupidity of the first half, is the last sentence to be taken to mean that everyone under 70 will be dragged forcibly out of their homes and exposed involuntarily? If not, how else are we to understand that only a narrow group will have the “option” of “quarantine”?

> Pass legislation to make Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin available over the counter like they are in many foreign countries.

That’s stupid. Why would we make things worse by implicitly endorsing ineffective treatments? We’ve actually come a long way in effective medical interventions for COVID; making those more readily available (though OTC isn’t the right route, even there) makes sense.

> But no, we get ignore all the proof and hide in your homes until everyone can be vaccinated.

Almost nowhere has a policy that could even hyperbolicly be described by any sane person as “hide in your homes”, most places are gradually (some radically, even recklessly) reopening (and many adopting the first part of your first recommendation.) Even the many of the most restrictive places have generally reopened or are on short timetable to, despite retaining mask mandates and distancing/capacity restrictions for many activities.
It’s a great visual indicator to remind of your active environment. I use it in just about every app that supports it with custom colors aligned with the environment (e.g. blood red for prod or canary yellow for dev). Gmail supports it as well. If you have multiple accounts with an “official” corporate color, it makes it easy to realize which you’re acting upon.
I hope nothing but the best for the people of Russia. I acknowledge Putin has provided some lift for them, while also acknowledging his significant shortcomings, many of which hold back more progress for those he governs.

"Hope for the best, prepare for the worst."
Thanks. This is very nice. I will do some experiments with my phone camera at the angle I indicate and might take help from you for OpenCV (been 10 years since I used it in undergrad).

Why is the choice either Apple or Spotify. Support one of the many many many other PodCasts apps and keep both behemoths at bay.

Sure, but fining someone for leaking data is a very different thing than making them liable for damages, even if you call the fine "statutory damages".
Since my mom moved to an iPad for her general internet consumption, my thankless tech support tasks dropped to zero.
Eagerly waiting for the day this is done to x64 AND Memory. Imagine one of these Jumbo dies for Compute and Networking, another for Memory. Current Top 500th super computer have ~30,000 cores.... We shouldn't be far away. :)

lol so they can maybe catch up in a year when apple is releasing their product using those apis now
They could even use it for the screen saver/auto lock functionality so the computer doesn’t lock because I am staring at code for 5 minutes.

$100 for 4 of them sets you back a good amount... especially if you would have otherwise had to toss them after their internal batteries died
I knew (thus the lowercase b)

That's likely the largest that LDDR4x is ever going to go because the tech is outdated. If they had a 24GB option, you'd hear a lot fewer complaints (and the cost difference isn't massive).

They announced 16GB (128Gb) LPDDR5 chips were in mass production in Q3 of last year. These both use less power and have better performance than LPDDR4x.

Both Intel and Qualcomm have support for LPDDR5 in their chips that launched last year. No excuse for Apple here.
The voice call part of teams works better in my experience and has a higher user limit.
In Seattle today, union electrical apprentices often earn under $18hr, while Safeway is paying new hires $20hr in Seattle and Bellevue.

General construction does not pay that much unless your licensed, bonded and running your own business or have a decade or more in with the union.
And ergo, I'd never use TimescaleDB. It's not less restrictive in any objective sense; it has different restrictions. It's apparently less restrictive to you, but it's much more restrictive to me.

Why not toss in an AGPL license option? You wouldn't be discounted off-the-bat by folks like me. I build open source. Timescale is not open source. Timescale won't mix with GPL code. I use plenty of GPL code. GPL/AGPL are known quantities. Your license requires legal review.

As a footnote, I do pay for hosted versions of most of the databases I use.
macOS is not terribly locked down. The terminal is immediately accessible, dev tools are one download away (unless you want to use an older version of various interpreted languages). Most of the locked down defaults with regard to downloading programs can be easily sidestepped if you open up Preferences and click a couple buttons.

I'd argue 600k dead is more disturbing, but let's agree to disagree
I don't think it's subjective at all. There are cities that are clean and safe and well run, and you might not want to live there because they have a lot of people, but that doesn't make the city bad. I think your preference to live away from people is subjective, and that's fine, but the rule can't be that you get to live right where you want and no one else can move. Either people can move or they can't. I presume you don't live in the neighborhood you grew up in?

I think you can get away with it today, but in a couple of years it will feel like a mistake. Apple will do something crazy like put GPU accelerate AI autocomplete in XCode that works great, but eats up 3GB of GPU memory, which is system memory in a unified system like this. The new web framework du jour will eat up 1GB per tab and people will think nothing of it. Apple will release OS updates that consume more and more of the base memory. I think the 8GB devices are going to be living on borrowed time in a couple of years.

The worst part is when you start swapping heavily it is going to eat into the write endurance on the built-in non-replaceable SSD.
It's the corporate website, so yes.
Yeah I'd agree
Or lend a backpack to a friend to go on a week long camping trip?
I tend to agree but stolen motorcycles and cars are a big deal in SF.
However, none of this justifies intentionally making the batteries extremely difficult to replace. It wouldn't make any noticeable difference to their bottom line (when you consider the margins on their products) to hold batteries with a screwed-in bracket (or even by compression with some foam) instead of hard-to-remove adhesive.
Well, an important reason for spotify to have podcasts is $$. Unlike music producers, Podcasters are not paid by play count. The ones from openweb are not paid at all by Spotify, I am not sure about the ones that have deals with Spotify directly, like Joe Rogan.
Anyway, the more time users spend listening to podcasts, the less they have to pay to music producers. which means more EBITDA! And my friend, its all about EBITDA.
Funny how RT highlights this, even though, in Russia YouTube became the main source of sharing anti-oligarch investigations (counting millions of news).
My tea leaf reading suggests that it would have been a closer interaction to Xbox and gaming than Teams and corporate.
A somewhat related solution for comments is to piggyback on the Mastodon ecosystem, which I really like: https://carlschwan.eu/2020/12/29/adding-comments-to-your-sta...
That's because the US is so scared of (real) unions. This would never be allowed in most of the western world outside the states. I have never even encountered something like it outside of comments and blog posts by Americans. A lot here seem to be very pro contractor work. Then this is them reaping what they sow. Contractors and Workers rights are like oil and water.
> Starting in May, listeners [...] can sign up for premium subscriptions that include a variety of benefits curated by creators, such as ad-free listening, access to additional content, and early or exclusive access to new series.

Some podcasts I listen to already do this via Patreon. The additional content is great for me as a listener and it has allowed a number of the creators to turn their hobby into part- or even full-time jobs. If Apple can make this easier than Patreon (where you have to figure out how to import a private feed into your podcast app), while still allowing the podcasts to exist outside their ecosystem, it's a win for everyone.
> Then someday may be they could allow Apple TV to be a Router so there is one less devices in my living room. And they could also act as a mesh system.

This is a great idea! Also, it would be awesome if Apple offered a version of Apple TV as a sound bar. Ideally it would be sound bar/router/tvOS.
I would agree with you if YouTube had started as a platform that from the beginning publicly promoted videos that were advertiser-friendly, but that's not what they did. For years, their algorithms were tailored only to show users the content that they liked, regardless of advertiser status. They had the goofiest, weirdest stuff perfectly suited to my weird personality. They showed lectures and political discussions that I liked discussing.

Then they made the algorithm changes. Instead of showing me videos I like, they suggest videos they like. Those videos often clash with my values or beliefs, but because they are mainstream, they get pushed anyway ad nauseum.

The change of state in the algorithm could be considered suppression. Another way of looking at it would be just the viewer counts of certain categories of videos has plummeted. Alt-right speakers and lecturers, flat-earthers, trump supporters, racial identitarians, and so on have seen a massive drop in viewers. Right or wrong, that algorithmic change that led to a drop in viewers is a form of suppression.

I want to emphasize that suppression isn't always wrong. A massive site like YouTube has to monitor for violent social contagion and contain that. But I don't think they should then use their suppression as an example of free expression, because it's not.

Edit: also to be absolutely clear here, the definition of "suppression" I'm using is the intentional attempt by YouTube to reduce the viewership and engagement in something.
I don't doubt it's possible to come out of leftfield for an AI DJ but I still wonder if it could be a tastemaker like a great DJ. I don't just want great individual mixes, I want consistent, surprising yet tasteful selections that define an idiosyncratic style.
Who would get sued though? The school? So we'd be suing ourselves?
I agree with pretty much 100% of what you've said there - but fiber doesn't need to have the mystery of being really expensive... Not for houses, but for commercial use, if you spend the money one time to buy a fusion splicer and good tool kit, some basic consumables, two strand singlemode is actually 1/3rd the price per meter of cat6. Due to it being so cheap to manufacture and the cost of copper being high right now. Done correctly you have a guaranteed hassle free upgrade path as far as 100GbE and 400GbE on the same fiber, patch cables, patch panel, etc.

But for residential use, one of the primary needs to run an ethernet connection to different places in the house is for an 802.11ac/ax (or whatever next generation AP), so fiber doesn't really solve the problem because you still need electrical power for the AP. Obviously one cable and 802.3af/at/bt PoE is a better idea than running fiber powering each AP off AC power wherever it's mounted. Aside from the fact that APs except for very, very expensive enterprise ones don't come with SFP/SFP+ ports, and are generally designed around the concept of being powered from the switch they're connected to anyways.

One of the reasons why i really strongly agree with your points is that in a residential environment it's going to be very, very difficult to really move throughput through an 802.11ac/ax AP that gets anywhere near stressing the speeds of a 2.5 or 5GBaseT connection in the future. I'd be fairly confident in saying that a house wired today with cat6a at sub 50 meter lengths, that tests OK for 5GBaseT, will probably be good for the next 25-30 years.
My cats will get tagged first. I used a gps tracker on them, but that was not reliable.
Yeah, the parent comment here is a little off.

Node is not for UIs, so they're definitely not using Node for that. It was confirmed that the UIs in the Dragon capsule (which, sorry for being pedantic, is not really the "rocket") ran on top of Chromium. It's possible SpaceX uses Node under the hood somewhere, but I don't believe that has been confirmed anywhere.

Also kind of interesting to note that it's only the Dragon capsule with humans that has controls, the capsule (and rocket) are both autonomous. The controls on the capsule are only there "just in case".

Ahem: Grafana Labs Brings In $50M Series B For Open-Source Developer Platform: https://news.crunchbase.com/news/grafana-labs-brings-in-50m-...

I completely support the right to chose your own license and how you want to sell and use your own code, but let's be honest here. This is done because investors have discovered that it's possible to earn money on services around Open Source products, and Grafana Labs has gone all-in on this approach. Now they need the relicensing in order for the business model to remain viable. We're lucky that the code remains AGPL, but notice that they are still not committed to ensuring that all the code will remain AGPL (i.e. they still want CLA so they can relicense later).

I agree wholeheartedly, the only downside I would see is that volume cannot be controlled through the iPhone app if you're controlling the volume through the TV. When I have a bluetooth speaker paired to apple TV, i'm able to control that volume using the rocker switches on my phone, it's the weirdest thing.

It feels like magic to have my TV turn on by a touch of my phone, and to also be able to control the TV when the kids think they are sneaky by not giving me back the remote.
I'm honestly not sure what sort of tracking occurs with podcasts or if tracking and podcast ads go hand-in-hand. There must be some degree of audience analytics, I guess.

Generally, I am not sure that no-ads means no-tracking, either. Though, that could certainly be a selling point to paying for a service of any kind.
Did I miss it? How much is Apple taking from these paid podcasts? 15% 30%?

If you work in engineering or banking, then yes you see all black and silver.

But if you work in fashion, a nice doctor's office, retail, or really any environment that is decor-focused, having color options is HUGE.

This is just taking "OMG I love the color you painted your kitchen, it's so tasteful yet energetic, what is it?" and applying as well to the computer that sits prominently in your home's shared area.
I love the move to Face ID (pre-covid). I would accept Touch ID as a back up, but never as my primary.

> Another UX problem: when I had a home button I could exit the app by testing it. Now I have to swipe up. But which way I swipe depends on how the app is rotated.

It's always swipe up relative to the bottom of the app. That makes sense.

> I could bring up my list of apps with a double tap of the home button. Now I have to do a weird swipe up-right-up to get the same functionality.

This is incorrect. You need only swipe up 20% of the screen or so. You should feel haptic feedback. No right motion needed.

And if you want to swipe directly to previous apps, simply swipe left or right on the bottom bar.
I recently decided to get a Macbook Air over an iPad Pro(would have waited for the refresh for the iPad as it was already heavily rumored). I really wanted to want the iPad, but the software is still holding it back, and other than a tablet/convertable form factor I like and a few things it affords like being a decent color eReader, there's nothing that I can do exceptionally better on the iPad compared to a Mac, but several I can do on the Mac over the iPad.

So now I've got a MacBook Air I'm happy with, but my 6th gen iPad will soldier on doing the few things the form factor affords such as being my large color eReader for certain books and the occasional lazy from the bed web browsing while I rely on the Mac for anything heavier.
