Most forensic analysts use write blockers when capturing an image of a device to ensure data integrity (no tampering). If Cellebrite altered something during extraction, investigation, etc. it would be easy to go back to the original image (collected with the aid of a write blocker) or the device itself to show that discrepancy.

> Youtube music is crap

It's good enough for a lot of people. I pay for YouTube Premium, so I get YouTube music (formerly Google Play Music) included, and it works well enough that I'm not going to pay for a separate music app.
Note that this describes a past era. Now, the main apps usually have some way by which if you pay you get higher visibility in the algorithm. E.g. on Tinder if you are premium you get a boost each month and five superlikes a day. The latter show you specifically to the person you superlike (but identify you as having done so), the former boosts your general presence.

You can also buy more boosts, and these do up your presence.

The headline would still be accurate though if it read “never join a dating app which requires payment”.
No, that is not the problem.

The problem is that a report about a phone scanned on 2020-02-01 can be altered by a phone scanned on 2020-05-01 to say that there was porn when there wasn't. Oh, and that scan left a running program which will cause 5% of the phones scanned after that to randomly also claim porn that is not on the device.

Therefore if a single phone with Signal was scanned at the kiosk, NOTHING from that kiosk can be trusted.
Try making faster CPUs without doing die shrinks.

Expecting perpetual economic growth without densification is equally absurd.
Cryptocurrency has an edge over other assets due to its inherent nature - it's much easier to employ sophistry and obfuscation by technology to sell it to people. Even well-educated people are vulnerable because it appeals to their sense of curiosity and has enough of a foundation to be viable.

People see the impact and success of technology in their lives. They start looking into cryptocurrencies and go "Wow, this must be revolutionary! This will eventually become as big as the internet!" Most don't care about the practicality or details, just that technology is a winner and that's where they should put their eggs into. And the ones that do care are probably so engrossed and invested into it that they're no longer rational about it.

Once people are invested it's in their best interests to propagate their ideas so they can succeed, regardless if those ideas are actually beneficial or not. I'm no psychologist but I feel like this is instinctual on a human level, which is why I say peoples rationality can get "hijacked". Anecdotally, talking to those who are invested and seeing the ridiculous amounts of irrational goalposts and whataboutisms being thrown around just reinforces this even more for me.
Having been on several dating apps for about a decade, Bumble has been far and away the best experience. I've met multiple girlfriends on it and there's a high chance I'll eventually marry someone I met off it. It elegantly solves the problem this article identifies in a way every other app and site cannot, because (in hetero pairings) women must initiate the conversation.
I agree, it looks like it ticks all the boxes.

I usually only replace phones when the battery starts going. But I'm thinking of getting the SE anyway, just in case it isn't available when this one (X) finally goes.
I often wonder is their is a Phoebus equivalent in the SmartPhone market.

I am unsure how we got to a point where the life span of a $900-$1,200 device is measured in months not years is acceptable but is seems to me it would have to involve some conspiracy especially when the technology they replaced or augmented (traditional phones and laptops) where all measured in years, multiple years.
Not in the S20, at least. I was about to leave the exact same message but I went to a 12 Pro with Face ID because I couldn't stand Samsung's implementation.

If people think that Face ID is inaccurate, then they clearly haven't used under-screen readers. They're slow, unreliable, and imprecise.

A lot of modern ML is not that impressive either.

I can imagine discriminating species of a hundred leaves in a very high resolution images to be very challenging.

Companies have protocols where you get an email and have to wait a few days before they send out large amount of money (and that setting can be modified by the user by the same way).

I would maybe be comfortable with a 2-of-3 multisig between Switzerland, Singapore and US.

I'm already trusting 3rd party to hold my private keys though: it's a 2-of-3 multisig between 3 bank trezors (the banks have no idea what I am storing though, they probably think that it's just gold). It would be easier for a bankrobber to get the gold from the other vaults than to rob multiple specific banks in multiple countries.

Anyways you are right in that it's much better to require physical identification for retrieving large amount of money, and you get better privacy by the physical trezors.
Would your CPU not do this automatically?
I went on Tinder again for the first time in several years and they just keep adding new 'Premium' memberships for men to pay for, it's insane. Tinder Plus, Tinder Gold, Tinder Platinum, Tinder Super Like, Tinder Boost, Tinder Super Boost, Tinder Top Picks.

They're making a sh*t ton of money (highest grossing app 2019) off mostly men's desperation (~$1.4 billion in 2019 reportedly), but there's only so much paying for all these boosts and memberships can do when there's just so much more demand for women on there. Tinder is also reportedly as much as 75-85% male.

I hope young men aren't letting their lack of matches on the dating apps lower their self esteem/make them depressed and try approaching in real life (post-pandemic). I know for some the feeling of getting close to 0 matches while others get hundreds a day can be crushing to their mental health. But real life is much better, don't let a lack of online success (what's the point, she wouldn't swipe me online so why should I approach her?) stop you from approaching women in real life .
If you tap the “Face ID” text, it pops up the passcode entry form. I discovered this by accident a couple years ago.
The "invisible hand" of plutocrats isn't the traditional meaning of "market forces", is it?
The notion that this reasoning would apply to an absurd (for your reductio ad absurdum) variety of cases is just a slight reframing of the point of contention.

By way of example, assume, for the sake of contradiction, that your argument is valid. Then, by similar reasoning, I could argue that any argument I disagree with can be taken to unreasonable extremes, and is therefore invalid, etc. etc. :P
sad that i still can't unlock my macbook with my iphone (without resorting to dodgy third party hacks). That would be really useful when the macbook is docked
Androids also have the option where you tell them not to lock if you're in your home (or other named places). Does iPhone support that?
Tax evasion is allowed by the people you elect, and you know it. Any unelected corporation can only be bound by the laws and system that it is a part of.

If you really want to change things then start speaking out against any and all politicians in bed with private actors (for ANY political party, btw) -- not overly-focusing on just "those politicians who disagree with you on abortion" or something else insanely and profoundly silly.

Also, if you really, and I mean truly, despise the way things are then stop complaining on the internet and run for local office? Then if that goes well, run for a higher office? Just an idea. But an idea that the vast majority of us on HN never take seriously.

In that case, take away the CEO and see what happens. It can't be that hard.

> Also, Face ID is less secure. If you're detained or mugged, just looking at your phone will unlock it before you can react and look away

Much easier to force someone to unlock the phone with their fingerprint than to force them to unlock with faceid if you have “Require attention” on.

You can’t physically force someone to look in a certain direction, but you definitely can force them to tap their finger on a surface.

IIRC, there was some contention about this post when Match.com acquired OkCupid, since people paying for online dating is kind of their business model. If I remember right, it was quietly deleted from their official blog.
I think one would have to factor in how much of the population is actually personally involved in that, the rich hold a large majority of all the money and wealth [1] and the amounts of money they move are lightyears away from the amount of money an "average" person uses for everything their daily life encompasses.

A rich person can move more money than whole towns combined. We are left with the question: Which one does better reflect the "actual" usage of money? 2-3 rich people doing speculations or thousands of "regular" people (living expenses, entertainment, work supplies etc.) with way less money?

Compared to that there is the problem that something like bitcoin is actively harmful towards practical usage due to the extremely high transaction cost, slow transactions, volatility, absolute lack of privacy, extremely high energy cost (that already surpasses whole countries with only very few people using it).

> the only thing that's changed is people taking offense at it.

So what you're saying is the the oscars have always been offending people, they're just offending different people now? If you're right, then the article still has an interesting point and it's something they should pay attention to: they used to have a big audience, and now they don't, so they must be offending the people that they used to be relying on.

But that doesn't seem likely - the people most likely to actually be offended by the political tone of the oscars are the right-wing, traditional conservative types who ridiculed awards shows anyway. They've gone hard into the most extreme politics of the people who were tuning in to begin with and even they have gotten tired of the constant barrage of lecturing.

Let's suppose I am Google. I am in arguably the best position in the world to build this system, because I have PageRank. PageRank is (for the sake of argument) the closest thing yet invented to an unbiased measure of authoritativeness (though still not that close). I also have the most comprehensive map of the Web ever made, because that's the input to PageRank.

I could imagine building a contextualization machine out of this. Oversimplified version: Look for cases where an authoritative link frequently appears next to a link to the page in need of context, and surface those authoritative links.

The good news / problem is that you can already use google this way. If you google a given URL, you'll get results of people talking about it! E.g. the current top article on HN is:

https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2021/04/ios-14-5-offers-unloc...

If I google this, I get a Reddit thread discussing this, two misses (MacRumors frontpage and a CNBC index page), and a Korean page. The last might be fine, but I can't read it so I don't know. Maybe the Apple announcement is just too new, but this doesn't seem super useful.

Of course, maybe there are refinements one could make for this use case. Maybe this technique is just more useful for political or science topics. I don't know. I tend to doubt it, though.
There are several ways to interpret that person's reaction.

1. It would be academic suicide to develop a new programming language.

2. Developing a new programming language is fine, but developing one designed to be better for practitioners is academic suicide.

3. Developing a new programming language for whatever reason is fine, but the particular ideas you were suggesting were of such a nature (perhaps "generally acknowledged as bad" or "not an improvement over accepted practice") as to be academic suicide.

(1) seems unlikely at best, there's a whole section on arxiv for programming languages (https://arxiv.org/list/cs.PL/recent), and just within the last decade we have languages like Julia and Elm coming out of academia.

(2) also seems unlikely, all the examples of recent academic-derived programming languages I can find are designed to make somebody's experience better. (And who would bother designing a programming language if they weren't at least hoping to improve something?)

Without knowing further details, I won't comment any further on (3).
One of the core parts of Apple is having fewer choices, but striving to have the available options be good options.

Apple doesn't always succeed with picking the ideal middle point between too few and too many choices (most frequently, it's skewed towards the 'too few' side) however.
The modified content would be on the Cellebrite system. And the investigator may not notice until much later. The write blocker has no effect when the reader is exploited.

You are correct that the source system would not be modified. But the content you are presenting and analyzing via Cellebrite would.
Having worked in several youth organizations and youth sports for the past 30 years, I bet what actually happened is this kid has been "problematic", the adults have been trying to do right by the kid, and this was the final straw. I've seen that happen. The act resulting in a kid getting dismissed from an activity in and of itself isn't egregious when considered in isolation. It's all the other stuff going on preceding that act that caused the response. Obviously I don't know the details of this particular case, but it wouldn't surprise if that is what happened here. It's typically the way such things go.
I think the difference here is that Netflix does not make the devices themselves, so they are an equal outside force on the market of smart tv devices. Google on the other hand is using it's YouTube product to influence things on the device side, where they have Chromecast as direct competitor.
network effects. integrations. ecosystems. its why any big consumer app isn't easily displaced.
The difference is in the real resources used. If energy and hardware are used, that's a real cost incurred on society. If only currency is locked up, that only puts a cost on the stakers. As far as the rest of society is concerned, the supply went down, so the value went up, and there's no difference.
I think it’s culture, or at least perceptions of. For the demo that tech companies are trying to attract, I think the perception of Florida is as an older, conservative “place where dreams go to die”. It’s also in the South which I think is seen as a broadly unappealing place to live by a lot of people in the current political climate. Florida especially has garnered negative sentiment from the left since the Bush era, which is most of the lives of the new hires these companies are trying to attract. Add on humidity and poor climate change prospects and I think it’s not as appealing to people.
I tested again, it's Terminal.app doing something! I tried with iTerm and CPU usage is negligible. Wonder what it is doing. My system is otherwise very fast.
> It’s a sobering realization that none of our elected legislators are competent to actually write laws. Occasionally you’ll see an example where they’ll have a staff attorney draft something for the purpose of political grandstanding, but that’s a sideshow compared to the amount of legislation written by the people with the real power.

Even if they wanted to, they couldn't. Their staff offices don't have the payroll budgets to pay a decent analyst a living wage so their offices are staffed by the rich children of donors who can afford to be paid a pittance while living in one of the highest cost-of-living metros in the country. Smart legislative analysts are expensive, but none of them can afford to pay off student loans and raise a family at the payscales available to them. So they end up going into advocacy, big law, or lobbying once they cut their teeth on the Hill.
Conversely, you could infer that board members are largely decorative, and of course any effect would be a) inversely proportional to the # of board members, b) proportional to the small time commitments that directorships typically involve, and c) mitigated by the fact that board members are/have somewhat supportive peers whereas the CEO does not.

It's an interesting data point but the conclusion seems overbroad. One might equally draw on this conclusion to say that families of regular people probably need proportional levels of economic support following the death of a family member.
It doesn’t matter what the consumer prefers. This battle is about the _ability_ to implement a feature, and that power should reside with the application developer.

Jfc, while cryptos exacerbate the climate issue, our climate problems are directly and completely a consequence of a bunch of inventions in the 19th and 20th century...

That and I have a problem with CEOs that demands to increase their pay by double, triple, quadruple amounts without increasing their employees pays. Not only CEOs, K-12 Boards did the same thing, increasing the superintendent pay without increasing the pay for teachers and school employees. Non-profits did the same, look at Mozilla. This is one reason why the ratio (employer:employee) is so obtusely off. American employees don't have such protection against this.

> you can almost always count on Android phones to have new types of tech before Apple but in my experience

Not really true in the case of TouchID though. Sure other things had fingerprint scanners before iPhone but they sucked hard.
It is very definitely not that. "Womyn" was specifically created by trans-exclusionary feminists and using that term is a signal of affiliation with that crowd.
Procrastination/lack of executive function is a symptom of ADHD.
I have used phones with all types of fingerprint sensor. Below the screen (Moto Z, iPhone 6S), at the back, in the power button (Moto Z3), and built into screen (Moto Z4).

Built into the screen is by far superior of all. The worst is at the back, with power button at the side not far from it.
Might the difference here be that Netflix doesn't have a competing product?

Google could be incentivized to put onerous requirements on Roku which result in a worse user experience, price increases, or additional development time. That would benefit Chromecast.
This assumes the new version of the software has no added value from adding new features and fixing bugs, etc.

Even with your assumption suppose you accept their offer. The $80 received should in turn be able to purchase something that was worth $100 dollars yesterday. The nominal value may have gone down but the quantity of goods and services you can buy with it is the same.
Long passcodes are still better.
S20 was particularly bad, give S21 a try though if you get the chance - they improved the scanning speed and the scanning area is now 2x the size so it's a lot easier to unlock the phone.
I like e-readers now
Yep, I realized the same once when I didn't have my phone with me. It's just representing card data to the scanner, so it doesn't need a network connection.
Its crazy.

The global online dating culture / landscape / norms are currently COMPLETELY dictated by a private company from a single country.

That is absolutely insane.

What is the implication on mental health and stress if one gets banned from Match group apps for life?

Sure IRL is still there, but ABD is here to stay and is the one dictating the norms currently.

I know both cis [0] and trans women who have beards, and while it's definitely nonconforming to Western standards, it is merely part of the incredible diversity and variation in human biology.

[0] Yes, cis women with beards exist. Many cis women feel dysphoric about any facial hair they may have, of course, but (just like with trans people) exceptions exist and not everyone is dysphoric about their endogenous sex characteristics.
I don't think solar panels have energy density high enough to make this even remotely plausible. Lasers convert a small percentage of the input energy into output energy, and you need a lot of energy to burn weeds to death.

Elsewhere in this comment section someone pointed out that the generator on this supplies slightly more energy than the rated maximum of most houses. It only has a few sq m of solar space on it for solar panels... that doesn't seem like it will even be a dent.

Like usual, you're better of putting solar panels on the ground somewhere. If this thing ever becomes electric I think it will have to either be by a wire, or by using electricity to convert CO2 back into fuel. Maybe if batteries improve a bit by battery, but right now it sounds like it would need to spend a large portion of it's time recharging (just comparing to electric vehicles).
