Yes but the mechanics of exploit crafting aren't generic at the slightest. Everything is bespoke. Which means that for the random bystander the probability that your specific-combination-of-old-software-and-data being exploited is extremely low.

If you've reason to be paranoid, sure. And if you're trolling old warez archives with software contemporary to the time, sure. But otherwise? The odds are too low and the possibility space too high for anyone to bother
Well they just announced that Spatial Audio works on the new iMac, so I have no idea what's going on.
Is HDR the only added feature?
I've never heard someone use right this, is that similar to exactly this or just this?
What's losing my interest more and more is that their music recommendations are terrible, rarely match my taste... And, uh, I wish there was an easier way for me to just browse music by category. I just want to see all the new releases under electronic music and browse through them quickly. I don't need to be spoon-fed things as part of "discover weekly".

Also, the Spotify Chromecast integration is utter shit. It has been utter shit for a while, but it seems it's just getting worse? It's laggy, it randomly pauses during my playlist for no reason. I ended up buying a bluetooth receiver to hook to my AV system so I could get reliable playback. What the fuck? Why isn't this getting fixed?
If the btc has greater value than the outputs from the renewables, then the market is "voting" on what is actually the most valuable thing to that society.

I know it's tempting to argue along the lines of "What could be more important than the environment?" and that is a good question, but that is a shift in societal values question, not an economic one. Economics simply helps one optimize the outcomes towards a values set.
It does vary, there’s some bad ones in România too. Still, most were pretty good. To this day they form the vast majority of housing stock.
It looks cool, but is a big problem that people have that is solved by a first party product
Ask HN: Would you sign an NDA with a strange term?
I wanted to have a chat with founders about joining a very early-stage startup in the health tech space, and they sent me an NDA to sign with a clause that says that for trade secrets, "the obligations set forth herein shall survive indefinitely.". It seems out of whack to sign up for a lifelong obligation to have what might be a 60-minute convo. "Indefinitely" is a long time! OTOH, I know that broadly worded NDAs like that are likely to found to be invalid in a court of law. I tried to get them to change the clause to something more circumscribed but they abruptly dropped out instead.

WWYD? Have you signed an NDA even you thought it was BS because you wanted to avoid the confrontation? Do you think it's important to stand your ground about these things? Do you a litmus test you apply to decide whether to go through with contracts?
I wonder if I can put this on my dog as an activity tracker.
I’m guessing because the vast majority of the market with a 4K Apple TV is not watching in stereo, but in surround with something like Dolby Atmos.

Edit: For those unfamiliar, spatial audio is a post processing effect that attempts to simulate surround, whereas most home theaters are going to be watching material that has discreet location and channel data, meaning a much more realistic surround stage.
The URL bar is useful for that too (before pasting into a webpage text box) :)
Popularity can increase rapidly, and if they do it too late, Amazon will screw them just like they did with Elastic.
Even though we use Grafana only internally and there would be no problem with AGPLv3 in theory I see big meetings with legal coming up which might result in us not being able to use it anymore.

I could image that its the same with other corporations. In the end that might hurt the popularity of Grafana quite a lot.
I also find it very weird that they would focus this movie oriented feature on a device that is not great to watch movies.
Oh God, even though I knew what it was, my heart still skipped beats at the BSOD and the reformat
You know, you're not wrong. Inflated asset prices can last a long time. Fundamentals win in the end, but the end can take longer than a person's career.

"When the music plays, you have to dance."

I'm just suggesting not to speculate with borrowed money.
Hmm. Where does Grafana people stand on what constitutes a "derivative" work? Are my Grafana dashboards derivatives of Grafana, and must now be published? If I embed a Grafana dashboard in my application, is my application now a derivative of Grafana and must be released as AGPLv3?
It's been a fucking amazing product from day one and they have a lot of features. I only wish they release a non gaming branded version
So basically we have court approved hacking of private servers by the FBI. Does this seem odd or dangerous to anyone else? First they have to discover the shells, gain access to the server, copy information ( supposedly just the web shell ) and then delete it from the server. All without your permission and or potential knowledge.

Yes the hack is dangerous but this really is over reaching and sets a very dangerous precedent. ( not that it hasn't happened before but not on this scale )
I agree with your post overall. Especially wrt to intelligence I think that it's composed of thousands of microtasks some of which are specific enough, likely coming complete with dedicated brain functions, to be helped or hurt by genetics. If we knew what they were, we could develop compensatory strategies for each distribution of abilities / deficits.

That is one of the (many) reasons I always argue for fearlessly understanding the full measure of reality as opposed to practicing a new form of Lysenkoism called "we're all equivalent and interchangeable, so the problem lies elsewhere...".

In a sense, all pro-social behavior is a kind of learned compensation which counters an innate desire to just club that other fellow over the head. Compensating for a "lack" in your genes is the stuff civilization is founded on.

That said, this is just wrong:

> If we demonstrate some ethnicity can run faster, they'll start getting picked more to be professional athletes.

You aren't picked to excel; you're born to it and other peple observe that fact. If people were picked to excel then just anyone could be in the NBA. We have all run the 100 yd dash. We've all had opportunities to distinguish oureslves there. Not many of us did. Even fewer did and failed to notice this in themselves.

You can't socially engineer raw talent but you can impose conditions which overwhelm it. That is always a tragedy.
Makes a lot of sense to me, most of it. I think they idea that you can't learn important software engineering/designing lessons from a book is overstated though.

But it is true that most of the existing books probably don't include some of the types of case studies and lessons that you would get from a job. But I think that textbooks should simulate those things with exercises. Of course a textbook can't include real dynamics or interactions but it's not true that it's impossible for some of those lessons to be in a book or at least touched on.

I mean, a textbook could actually emphasize things like digging in and iterating to really understand the problem in depth. The criticality and difficulty of understanding the problem and finding the right framing for the problem, realizing that is something that should be deliberately shaped to enable the solution.

To me the most challenging thing has always been the power imbalance between myself and the managers or users who are incorrectly framing the problems, and the struggle to negotiate an adequate problem definition that will enable a good outcome.
For those of us to whom it is not obvious, would you explain?
US passport holder here, IME skin tone and country of origin has as much to do with it. I've had equal pleasant and unprofessional instances with USCIS while traveling alone, with a greencard holder, or with children. I've literally had agents be pleasant to families in front of us while being unpleasant to us when it was our turn at their desk.

Have been using mobx recently and wrapping your component in observer() and seeing it update when the observable changes, feels truly amazing.
What is uncool is that it's using AES-GCM in all of its 128 bit glory, which is subpar compared to just using libsodium like magic-wormhole does.
TextPad is still being updated and available for sale (the latest release was on 11 April 2021). It's even older than PSPad. Wikipedia says it was first released in 1992, that's almost 30 years ago. (https://www.textpad.com/products/textpad/features)

I'm impressed by the longevity of both PSPad and TextPad and it's refreshing to encounter fast, native, nimble desktop programs.
> AirTag is designed for over a year’s worth of battery life with everyday use. The CR2032 battery is user-replaceable and widely available. Replacement batteries are sold separately.

That's the piece of information I wanted to know first. Devices like this can be built, but those can't run on batteries for a reasonable time frame.

Apple made it practical.
> Veteran isn’t really the same thing as “age”.

Of course not, but at the same time there are not that many 15-year-old gurus. It's not really the same thing, but on average people will gain more experience as they do a job for longer, and to do a job longer you need to age. It's not causal, but definitely correlated.
This is a great idea, I’ll be buying one on the first day. Really happy to see privacy and encryption as key selling points too.
Seems like a sensible choice - one of the things that as cause me to look askance at some of the anti-serverisation (urgh) licenses has been companies trying to bespoke something when the AGPL has always been right there to solve the problem they're trying to tackle.

This is directly competing with Tile[0] which you can buy 2 for 39.99.

I guess the integration with Find My app would be pretty convenient but probably not worth the price difference?

That's why I don't think it leaked from a lab, or, if it did, the lab in question is completely unaware of the leak. There is the possibility the virus leaked from a lab without the lab having any knowledge and while the lab was faithfully executing all safety protocols.

What we do know is the disease made its first mass appearance in Wuhan and the Chinese government did their level best to cover it up. That doesn't necessarily point to a leak, but it does show the Chinese knew there was a novel disease that was quickly spreading and causing severe problems. It's apparent they tried to contain the disease and failed.

It could still be the case the disease originated outside of Wuhan but took root there first. It may take years to figure out the origin of this disease.
Who I earth would argue that AGPL isn't open source? The kind of people who think open source = free lunch I suppose. It's probably the most open source licence there is.
I see. Perhaps COVID has impacted quality guests from travelling, and poorer quality guests are more willing to travel. Just a guess.
I did just that about a month ago. I don't give a shit about their podcasts, I'm only interested in their music, the home screen is garbage now.
I moved to Qobuz (which has other problems, but it's generally fine).
Microsoft has trouble with UI design and it only got worse. Think about the "help" buttons that are on win system preferences, instead of directing you to the option they send you to google or bing. It's ridiculous.
Their routers ran NetBSD. You can still do that if you want.

As for Apple TVs, I own five.
Before you said it wasn't possible. Now when someone points out it has been already done for a long time you say "severely limited aethetical (not a word) expression".
Though an FAQ would typically be consumed by those wanting to know what the service provides and how. Not options on how to configure it.

Perhaps adding a link on the user's settings page to the 'FAQ' would be helpful.
I see. I would think that for a library, in production, all you'd want for panic was a crash. (I guess this is the abort case).

AAre the panics being discussed for removal in rust tls "soft" errors that should not crash?
Okay, so they go out of their way to avoid answering how this actually affects people, so I'll ask here: If a company uses grafana internally, this should have no effect, right? And then the next step: If a company did offer grafana-based dashboards to customers but wasn't actually modifying grafana, what if anything does this do?
Honestly speaking, the problem with Apple TV is that chips like A12 are such a overkill for TV box use cases. I recently purchased a $30 Roku and find it has almost 99% of the features that an Apple TV would have (including airplay2).

Yes, Apple TV would have better color, visual quality, etc, but that's way into the realm of dismissed return for the investment IMHO.
>I've no idea why Apple won't let users actually use their devices

Why would Apple let you do it yourself when they can juice their services revenue by making you pay for the same functionality?
If you ever decide to actually go somewhere with it, maybe a lightweight alternative of Electron might be a good path to take.

In particular a browser engine that allow the programmer to easily turn off things that are not used and take away from performance will probably be a real killer.

Good luck!
A lot of people watch TV/movies at night with headphones instead of speakers, in order not to wake up the kids, grandparents, someone who works early, etc. Especially when you want to fully experience those big loud action sequences without making the house actually rumble.

This is for people when they aren't using their speakers at all.

Edit in response to your edit: I think you may be misunderstanding Apple's spatial audio feature. It's not simulating surround out of stereo audio, it's simulating a sound stage out of the discreet location and channel data you're talking about. It requires surround sound input, it won't operate on stereo input. The surround stage is shockingly realistic if you try it.

I'm generally more sanguine with mRNA vaccines than other sorts. The problems we've historically had with vaccines have mostly either been with live attenuated viruses that turned out to not be attenuated enough or with adjuvants. With mRNA there's no virus at all and it works via the normal cell viral infection detection pathways so no need for an adjuvant that might accidentally sensitize you to something else.
Yes it's called the creative industry.
Put it in the seams of the bag...

and then you can rob the house -or worse- after figuring out their schedule... and it's only $30!
I'd be more interested in an overall, OS-wide pass on unifying the UI experience and control panels.

If I am understanding you correctly, this seems like a strawman. You don't need to equalize everyone's pay to make the material lives of these data center workers better, nobody asked for that anyways. People are simply asking to be treated the same as the people who do the same work but have a different colored badge, and not to be fired every two years. It doesn't really seem like that much to ask for
I've been thinking about a solution that would let me find a 4-10 year old child that gets lost in a big city crowd. Like a bracelet or something. Is the AirTag truly first or best in class?
EasyFi Security Incident
Let me put it like this: your second paragraph would take me 2-3 hours (as a backend dev). Does that put things into perspective?

It's never about "I am an expert and can do it quickly".

What frontend devs seem to not realize is that backenders and sysadmins have to occasionally do something quickly on the frontend. And when I visit webpack's site and copy-paste a config and then adjust a few variables and run a command... yeah, it can be faster. Much faster. Not to mention that it rarely works the first time around and the error messages are absolutely not telling me what I do wrong.

---

This isn't intended to flame anything or anyone, mind you.

---

But please understand that for many the frontend tooling is a bitter disappointment because we intend to do a quick tweak and move on and it of course disagrees and I lost half my workday. And as you can guess, the next time it will take me half of my workday again because enough time has passed that I'll forget those lessons. Why can't the thing just be intuitive?

Can I do it better after I become an expert? Absolutely.

But that's the whole point: I don't want to become an expert. I want to install the tool, execute 2-3 incantations and get my work done. And most of the web dev tooling fails miserably at that task.

(btw, GIT is guilty of the same for like 90% of its commands.)
> Like all of you I’m not an expert in the field, but from what I’ve skimmed online it seems like mRNA vaccines have never been used widespread in humans before?

Moreover there haven't been any long-term studies... There is a very very small chance that something strange happens [0].

> Am I crazy for being nervous about taking an mRNA COVID shot?

You're not crazy, but you're probably being unreasonable. The "gut-feeling" likelihood of something strange happening are very very low.

[0] one mRNA-specific example, and one "new investigational drug" example: 1. the mRNA could somehow retrotranspose into your DNA, and cause problems. It's not seen in the lab but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen in vivo, it could also depend on what active retrotranspons you have inside of your cells. 2. the antigen could accidentally elicit an antibody response that activates an oncogenic receptor and increase your chances of getting cancer.

I think it's important to note that these are plausible mechanisms and are probably untested/untestable at the scales that matter when you're delivering to millions of people. But plausible does not mean significant. Every time you put something in your body, whatever it is, if it's food from the grocery or that new whiskey that hit the market, you're taking on risk. And keep in mind how convoluted a mechanism it takes to get to the point where it's something risky.

> These changes will allow developers to bring their Win32 apps to the new Store without any changes to their existing code. In the past, developers were required to package their Win32 apps as an MSIX, and were forced to use Microsoft's own store-driven update and commerce platforms. This will no longer be necessary with the new Store.

I'm so relieved at this and hope these changes make their way to the Xbox app. Their store platform has been the worst thing I've seen in gaming in recent years. I've never had as much trouble getting games installed or updated as I have with the MS store. There's also their efforts to prevent users from modifying game files unless developers explicitly allow it, which would've prevented things like the absolutely necessary unofficial patches for Nier Automata.
Wait for a teardown and select a place to drill your own hole? But yes, a surprising lack of design forethought.
Yeah I really wish there is a way to see the engagement with JRE on spotify ... on youtube it was immediately available (views count / comments / likes dislikes) ... in a sense youtube provided the end user with the content, a way to evaluate it (analytics) and ability to have a community around it (comment section).

Spotify doesn't offer any of those.. I too was a daily JRE listener and not anymore, but the good news is that I feel like I upgraded by choosing more specialized podcasts based on my interests.
This is crazy timing -- my co-host and I just released a Podcast episode yesterday sifting through the details about the Auth0 database-related outage from 2018 ( https://downtimeproject.com/ ).

I'll be curious to see how much overlap or not there is with that previous outage. They wrote up a nice post-mortem back then, so hopefully we'll get another one this time.
You're being down voted because this is described on the page. If a tag not linked to your phone travels with you frequently while being away from its owner you'll get a notification.
It has little to do with casuals imo, the ultra hard stuff drives out the midcore over time too. World firsters will beat in 2 weeks what many players would struggle with over a whole expansion, and you literally can not make difficult content catering to them that isn't impossible to 99% of the playerbase.

The problem is that the high end is absurdly high in skill. Like a casual may be bad, but he is not going to be as bad in relation to the average as a high skilled player will be good. There will always be someone who can beat the toughest content in a game using a guitar hero controller or something.

Competition sucks because of this. The high end often has insane talent and makes something their life; how on earth can average people even exist in an ecosystem like this?

"I only tested this in Chrome, using anything else is at your own risk" is fine. Life's short.

"Needs feature X, only available in Chrome" is also fine. It's clear and to the point and tells anyone who cares about browser Y exactly what's (probably) wrong.

"Desktop Chrome only, everyone else go away" is contemptuously lazy. It really does reek of the IE days, for those who remember them, and is extremely off-putting.

For me, this page doesn't do any of the above, it just does the best it can (which isn't really good enough on this phone). That's also fine. It's a phone, I get that it isn't good at everything.

Governments should definitely think this through. A good example of the tragedy of the commons and QOL is driving/private automobiles. Once you get enough of them around, QOL goes way down. Who wants to live next to a 5 lane road with speeding cars? They are noisy, polluting, and dangerous, but also so exceptionally convenient for the one that is driving.
From the link: "iOS devices can also detect an AirTag that isn’t with its owner, and notify the user if an unknown AirTag is seen to be traveling with them from place to place over time."
I guess Spotify is paying "celebrities" to host their podcasts, even at a loss, as a way to get more people to subscribe. It is a well known game that was played by satellite radio stations a decade ago.
