Yeah, this tech standard is totally insane, why would I want anyone or anything to be able to scan people and objects inside my house without my knowledge? I’m aware of microphone attacks for keyboard password entry and other methods of surreptitious surveillance, but this is way past a microphone or webcam. I will pay a massive premium to purchase WiFi equipment without this feature.

Unfortunately these will be everywhere, far beyond any existing camera surveillance network.

“Settings” has a search function. While not perfect, it does work. Searching for “find” takes you very close to what you were looking for.
No doubt a thankless job, but your claims to being unbiased are obviously going to be faced with skepticism when you label industry critique as "predictable" or "mean" and censor it. It's your perception that it fills every thread, but my perception is that the industry cheerleading in this community is wildly untethered. I think you probably wouldn't deny that your goal is to stem generalized negativity, based on the bias that negativity is bad and positivity is good "for discussion." It's not as if that bias has no consequence.

If you were being consistent about this, by the way, you'd be censoring the banal security and bug sanctimony that dominates every thread on that topic. A buffer overrun? Good heavens! An unsalted pw hash? Fetch my inhaler!
Literally everything in this area starts out as science fiction. I think the general idea of sending lots of small craft is a good idea. It would be great to hear from the people building these things which parts are not possible currently.

A brand requirement to establish prestige seems a weak anti-trust case.

How would opt-in work in practice? Say, if this gets pushed out on $CAFE public wifi for analytics. Would it be something akin to "tick this consent box to use the wifi"?

And if $CAFE tracks you regardless of you not ticking the box or connecting to the network, how do I detect that as a regular customer?

My experience is the exact opposite of yours - I find Gmail's spam detection absolutely amazing. I get essentially zero spam in my inbox, and perhaps 4-6 false positives in the spam folder a month.

Having billing alerts is the bare minimum I'd expect someone half-competent relying on pay-per-use resources to set up.

Hard stop on spending would delete all your data and would not cover things which are billed e.g. monthly. There are AWS budget actions which address some of the issues (e.g. can put a hard deny on any actions or stop your EC2 instances), admittedly a relatively new service.

Heavy duty gorilla tape. It's lightweight and even waterproof.
I've been having this conversation for the last 9 months with my employer. I set the tone early that I:

1. routinely and mostly work with people in other states.
2. continue to perform as good if not better at home.
3. my home-office setup is as good if not better than in-office.

I let him know I have zero interest in returning to commuting 30-40 minutes each way to call another state.

I'd start the conversation as soon as possible. highlight the benefits for the company. highlight that you've honored his/her trust and represented the team well.
You say there is no way in hell you would trust self driving enough to close your eyes. My experience is most people come to trust it far too soon, not too late. It's not a problem. People trust something when they see it work a couple of times. Of course the car won't be sold unless it's been shown to do a better job than you do. You still might not trust it -- but most people will, even long before then.
> Is there a norm I'm not aware of?

Maybe?

Everywhere I've worked in the US, I always had some level of discretionary spend--even as a lowly summer intern at a behemoth like IBM. It could be software; it could be books; it could be training; it could be computer hardware; it could be lab equipment; it could be groceries or office supplies.

As an intern, I bought some of the first O'Reilly books (mostly about X11) at the Cucumber Book Shop in Bethesda, Maryland courtesy of IBM. As someone way more senior, I once put a T3 line card (about $15K at the time) on my credit card in order to break a budgetary logjam between two feuding departments (and made BOTH of them angry at me--it was beautiful).

Obviously, the more junior I was--the less the value of that spend was. And it went up as I became more senior. And I always had to provide receipts and maybe a bit of justification.

But I've always had some level of discretionary cash spending at even the crappiest companies I've worked for.

> The gap here for me is that AWS, GCP, and the like are perfectly equipped to build infra "from the edge in" as well. It's just not an advantage for Cloudflare -- I'd actually argue that AWS has the comparative advantage in building "from the edge in" given the clip at which they can turn out datacenters.

You’re clearly more versed with AWS than I am but I think that if you compare them at this level, you could argue that all the big cloud providers could easily compete with Cloudflare and crowd out their proposition.

But this possibly overlooks the (in my view) very unique execution style of a Cloudflare compared to “Big Cloud”.

I do worry about their ever growing reach across vast portions of the internet, but, I keep coming back to Cloudflare and taking up more of their feature set because they make me so damn productive, and unlike all the other cloud providers, the learning curve is very minimal and their products are a pleasure to use.

I have huge respect for AWS and Azure, and use them both for production workloads where needed, but I’m weary of their complexity and bloat. Cloudflare is an absolute breath of fresh air in comparison.

My only criticism of CF’s execution is that it can seem a bit “scatter gun” sometimes. Eg Cloudflare Registrar still doesn’t support .co.uk domains years after its launch - which somewhat undermines that offering. They sometimes launch things and then seem to neglect them and start working on something else.

To end on a bit of a tangent: the one thing I really wish they would turn their creative minds to is reinventing the whole CAPTCHA concept. Given their reliance on captcha and what an utterly fucking awful experience it is to try and identify all the buses in 9 grainy low res photos, I think it’s about time CF invented something better!
Not to mention that 6-10% inflation combined with 2-3% GDP growth would mean the economy is contracting by 3-5%.
Thanks for the clarification/correction.

I have just one more thought on the matter. I'm still early in my career, but in the years I've spent so far working with small business-types on security, and watching my colleagues, a month and a half is practically no time at all. I have little love for the big vendors, especially for behavior like this, but the reality I've seen is they often take months to do anything, and it takes further months for customers to actually patch their systems.

So I'm a little sympathetic to the desire to have an embargo of half a year or even longer, even with the downsides mentioned. Still, Theo clearly didn't actually breach his trust with Mathy, that's my mistake.
Is my understanding correct in that a "Pane" is essentially a UI component? And I am assuming there are tests to catch cases where a new pane is defined in the backend, but not in the SDK (or I suppose, how do you deal with any discrepancy)? Do you lazy-load the components?

One thing that is inconvenient about Apple’s AirTags is that you can’t share them with other people.

So for example, if a husband/wife share car keys, and the car keys have the wife’s AirTag, but then she misplaces her purse with both her phone and keys, the husband won’t be able to locate them.

Another scenario is if one of them wants to put an AirTag on their phone, so that when they can’t find it, the other person can help them locate it.

Anyway, I’m sure there are lots of situations in which it would be helpful for multiple people to be able to locate the same AirTag, yet this is not currently possible.

A cynical take... considering how short-sighted public corps are with quarterly shareholder valuations, this is an unintended side-effect at best. At worst, it could be that your comment "the US corporations created the 'big enemy' China" was intentional.
Income goes up after it. Inflation hits, and then later your income goes up. That hurts. The closer you are to the edge, the more it hurts.
Basically you need to fill out an exhausting 8 part form drilling down on every aspect of your business -

Security - policies, architecture, breach procedures, external review, GDPR compliance, hosting structure, cryptography.

Compliance - proove registration with different compliance bodies, proof of insurance (professional indemnity AND cyber), AML measures, KYC measures, proof of purchase of monitoring systems..

Identity - provide information on ALL directors and shareholdeing structure, provide proof of address and identity of 2 of them, name a company signatory and provide proof of identity and address for him as well.

And more and more... took us 2 months just to compile all the information in endless back-and-forth email conversations.

You really can't run your on email server nowadays though, you need to have been running one for several decades otherwise the email common email providers(gmail, outlook) will automatically just assume its spam.

I would get worried when the FAANG companies start buying insurance businesses. Since a lot of have "smart speakers" and mobile phones listening to us and whatnot lying about our houses we installed voluntarily, lobbying for something like this seems completely unnecessary.

I really think the fears of government over-reach are something that has receded into the past. We didn't need to be forced into a surveillance society, we willingly paid for and installed it ourselves in exchange for "likes" and "upvotes" and being able to discuss big budget TV shows in real time with our fake internet friends.

> Or is it the airtag functionality specifically that’s bothering you?

A phone is bigger, more visible, and expensive if someone would want to use it to track you. Not practical at all.

Maybe they should have 2 options: Phone and Tags (or All). Enabling find my phone would not necessarily allow tags.
Alternatives as well:

- There are things you buy infrequently or on a whim where the options are equally good, and the advertisers just want their product to be the last of the competitions' logos to be associated with a positive feeling. For example, I rarely drink soda, but when I do I'm choosing between Coke and Pepsi with no real brand connection (other than both companies feeding feelings into my brain on occasion). How can I know whether the advertising is some part of what influences me to pick one?

- Products whose function is partially social signalling, where the advertising can serve to establish the signal/brand connection. I care virtually not at all about pickup trucks, but I have a mental connection between Ford and Denis Leary's voice talking about "toughness". Ford pays for all that because you're much more likely to buy an oversized truck for your grocery runs if your community's overriding association with the F150 is "tough" than "small hands".
I bet Xcode and possibly other pro apps are coming to iPad - probably will be announced at WWDC.
No. The Ariane 5 disaster was caused by a development team deliberately turning off safety checks. Ada is in all regards a 'safer' language than Pascal, as long as you don't disable the safety features.

Wealthy people do not own much cash. Wealthy people own assets. The poor also do not have much cash, they consume goods to live.

Inflation increases the value of assets relative to consumption. Inflation increases the gap between the wealthy and the poor.

Deflation reduces the value of assets and makes consumption more affordable. Deflation reduces the gap between the wealthy and the poor.
I run my own email server. The most important people in my life have accounts on my own server. No gmail needed or wanted. I can answer all of those questions of delivery for myself.

We get so much spam from gmail that gmail has earned itself an increased spam score just because its gmail. Its unlikely that my users see much from gmail, unless they want it.
> perhaps 4-6 false positives in the spam folder a month

That's 4-6 valid messages a month the average user will never see.
I'm not sure this answers the question. The wikipedia page is about the entropy of a probability distribution. But the information speed limit is supposed to apply even if everything is totally deterministic.

If I write a single, 100% certain message and put it in a spaceship it still cannot go faster than light, even though there is no information transfer (entropy of my message (a constant random variable) is 0).

(I'm not saying you are wrong, I am asking to be corrected)
That makes sense in principle, but in practice I think this is a case where the technology is eventually going to have to meet the real world needs and not the other way around; email just doesn't match typical patterns of personal communication in my experience.
> hope that is still the case

I don't know why you'd care what it's written in, but for the reasons that I'd care (resource usage mostly) Java and Javascript are languages I'd hope it's not
Yes and no. If these (e.g., food) are the things most people consume most of the time that's not cherry picking. Furthermore, consumer perception does matter. It does have impact - even if it's misperception.

Gas is up. That's naturally going to increase cost of nearly everything that depends on that mode of transportation. Certainly, that's directly or indirectly just about everything.

Writing fewer tests is somewhat justified when you can encode invariants in the type system. It depends on the level of reliability you require of course. But my Rust code without tests has been comparably reliable to my code in other lanaguages eith tests.

Tangentially, wouldn't it be nice if we could buy a 1990-quality car for the inflation-adjusted price? Poor(ish) people would have a decent shot at actually affording reliable transportation and climbing up the ladder.

Yep. When I got an Arduino I was a bit disheartened at first to find people only talking about the Arduino IDE for programming it. I found a few custom makefiles and was half way to installing my own avr toolchain when I found platformio. I don't find joy in manually installing toolchains any more so it was perfect. I was up and running in minutes.

Although they don't mention it (maybe they should) I used pipx [0] to install platformio. It's the best way to install a Python app.

The GPS locators are heavier with shorter battery life. This has been my experience from GPS pet trackers. Since Bluetooth Low Energy does not require as much energy or range, the form factor is greatly decreased.
