Apple's marketing is quite genius. They spun iOS being a closed system into a plus.

You can't install your own apps. Safari is not fit for PWAs. Repairability is not encouraged. All of this is for your own benefit and privacy. Want those things? Go to Android and sacrifice your privacy.

With this approach, Apple comes out looking privacy-focused, justified for their App Store fees, and their stance on right to repair.

I'm not educated enough to know if those restrictions are absolutely needed for privacy or privacy is a blanket excuse for how Apple operates.
As a multifunctional asynchronous client, it currently supports HTTP, Redis, MySQL and Kafka protocols.

That's an interesting selection. Do you have particular problem spaces in mind?
Lol. Your definition of capitalism is worse than useless. For one thing, profit is your revenue minus _all_ of your expenses, not merely what you pay your workers. Material, utilities, rent/mortgage or other interest, training, bookkeeping. overhead, taxes, everything. Different business owners will decide to spend that profit in different ways. Some will use it to expand the business (Amazon, for example), others will pay dividends to shareholders (Google, Microsoft, and most other big companies), others will simply save it for a rainy day (Apple, it would seem). Usually it’s some mix of all of these and others.

Capitalism is simply about ownership. If you can start your own business, then you are a capitalist. If the government prohibits it, then you do not live in a free market. An owner can also be a worker, or else how could a new business get started?

Here’s a practical example: I get my hair cut at Dimaggio’s down the street from me, and the owner cuts hair right alongside his employees every day. He opened that shop decades ago, pays the bills, does the bookkeeping, opens the doors every morning, closes them at night. He is a capitalist, and he is a worker.

Obviously I’ve never looked at his books, but I imagine that he pays himself a salary and that the business has been saving most of what was left over after that, since it’s been a hard year and he hasn’t gone out of business. I think he might own the little building he’s in, and that he rents out the other half of it, but aside from that he hasn’t expanded the business.

I think the point is that it signals someone with a lot of money since they can spend hundreds on something they could live without.
> Never even bothered to talk about the existing infra that was managed like cattle

I don't see the point of your counterargument. For starters, there are plenty of managed containerized solutions that just run your containers without you ever having to bother with them. Secondly, it seems you got it entirely wrong: the point of pets vs cattle are the services, not the servers. You want to take your services down and put them up without surprises. Unless you're planning on rebooting your infrastructure just for shits and giggles, it makes no sense to talk about treating "servers" as pets, specially as you already get those as managed services just like you get VMs.
For the customer service part, I suppose that if the user has any issue, they'll likely go to Apple first which can't do anything and make the user experience less ideal. As of today, they can refund the user which keeps them happy.
> You get given a problem spec. You design a decentralised system to solve it neatly. You get told “This doesn’t work, $COMPANY doesn’t have any way to monetise it”.

I do believe the author ran into this problem, especially in the VC world, except the author likely pointed this out herself.

I work for a major L1 project and never ran into this problem directly.

I've mostly witnessed less well funded projects bend towards their binance masters' desire for yet another pumpable token.

If you run into this problem, then you should spend their money building the fundemental components under a permissive or free software licensee. After some sunk costs then maybe they'll accept a more open business plan.

Previously used a setup like this, working towards getting back to it... however, unfortunately email just doesn't feel very natural to me in the terminal. Not that I can't open an HTML message in a web browser automatically, because realistically you're still going to get quite a bit of HTML emails, but there are a lot of issues still... like, not loading third-party images or JavaScript when doing so.

I hope someone will write a web interface in Go for a mail client like aerc or mutt so that you don't need to connect an IMAP server and can use isync, but still use a web interface for browsing your emails, etc.
>and in protecting information from third parties without user consent

Is this true for every country where Apple operates? Especially where it's forced to host servers in? We know for certain that Apple cannot do its business in certain high value market(s) unless it offers unrestricted access to its customer's data.

But we don't see *privacy applicable to U.S. or X countries only disclaimer in any of it's marketing or promo materials. An uninformed Journalist or Human rights activist can be at severe risk due to this.

So. What safeguards are in place against this?

Except, you know, "trust us, this will never happen". Given that blockchain size is now 346GB while it handles a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the number of transactions that the rest of the world runs.
Privacy was also a selling point of BlackBerry/RIM and was successful but it’s hard enough to convince people it’s worth switching over to Firefox from Chrome so I think you’re right.

It is interesting that Apple can market themselves as protecting our privacy if for no other reason than all their competitors do the bare minimum.
With the exception of FOSS/privacy nuts who use f-droid. And everyone is happy in the end. I think the only mainstream sideload app is Youtube Vanced which removes ads.

I switched to an iphone but I still keep an android phone around to run a couple of sideload only apps which violate the App Store and Google Play guidelines like the app that loads the hack payload on to my Nintendo switch on boot.

Completely agree with the growth vs fixed mindset. It's like a breath of fresh air after spending most of your life being fixated on odd metrics, identities, or goals. As noted in the article, humility and the ability to change are super important. However, I have some mixed feelings about the author's need to classify things as "weak" and "strong", not only because it is quite subjective, but because many people's behaviours don't neatly fall into those categories. But any mental framework, even if a bit vague or subjective, is an extremely important tool towards self-change and introspection. If the author is reading this, congratulations on your journey, and I support your continued growth.
Thanks for this detailed reply. Much appreciated because I learned a thing or two.

No, not Delhivery kind of specialised courier. But in USA I was eBay user. I was an ordinary bloke with 9-5 job, and used to sell excess stuff (old gadget which I want to upgrade from), shipping charges were major part of the transaction and my endeavour was to minimize it - ended up using US postal service quite a few times.
I want them to freeze bank accounts and immovables of the Belarusian establishment, including the most powerful elites.

Look at Putin - doesn't matter what he does, his retinue does what they want. They are enjoying super-yachts, parking them without any issues in European ports, their kids are still “almost gods” and do whatever they want.

The western world gratefully takes the money from dictatorship regimes, and they don't give a shit where money comes from.

While it happens, dictators will not stop. As soon as dictators lose their establishment support, they’ll be overthrown.

All of the “sanctions” are so ridiculous, that it looks like these sanctions were made to calm down the own citizens, not to stop this devastating money flow.
We implemented a WebGL plot + text renderer for https://count.co - adding support for emoji was a pain. In particular you can't use normal SDF maps as for other monochrome characters, so there has to be a per-character flag in the fragment shader to interpret the texture correctly.
I know journals differ in their guidance, but shouldn't an abstract say something about the findings? That one reads more like the back cover of a paperback...

>I'm honesty surprised that in 2021 people still believe the US is the only good place to live/be a citizen.

There are lots of great places to live but the US is one of the best and easiest places to live if you're a US citizen.

Unless a person's native country is a legitimately bad place to live, living where you are born is going be one of the best options for anyone. There are lots of good places in the world to live but for non-natives its frequently not a guarantee you'll be allowed to live there. Its also not a given that you'll have an easy time living the same quality of life as you could in your homeland. Or be able to find a job that pays well. More importantly, its not always easy for a person to integrate and be accepted by the community in another country.

If I didn't have a family that wanted to stay I'd probably consider moving somewhere else, but there would be a lot of anxiety and uncertainty about my future for a long time.
Nothing. So your options are to pick a company that openly tracks you and is funded on tracking. Or a company that tells you it doesn't track you, bases a huge amount of their marketing on that promise and is funded by selling you expensive devices.

One option is clearly better from a privacy perspective even if you have no control over what Apple does.

It is true, they are different. Blockchain can be used for many other things than only cryptocurrency (although cryptocurrency is one thing that can use it). A blockchain includes blocks each with the hash of the previous block, and many things do that including Fossil version control system (the P card has the hash of the previous block), and I also had the idea how it could be used for a restricted class of card games, and there are probably many other uses too.

What kind of key? I am just afraid to make it "complicated" because now it's as simple as sending an email to some address. :)
Tech has a long tail - if you generalize from the big players track record things may look grim, but that is ignoring the rest of the field. That is to say, no - it is not only Apple who defends our privacy - and yes you should dig deeper when thinking about these things.
It is not that clear-cut. Obviously the optimal case is SMD-only, but there is a threshold when THT-only becomes cheaper than SMD/THT mix. Another thing is that power supplies tend to use higher temperature board material (presumably to allow for thinner copper plating) which is somewhat rare and expensive in dual layer configurations.

Seriously? The president drove it for a commercial and that is the prove to convinced you that it is real product? And Tesla didn't do a commercial with a president and therefore its a fake product?

They are both large car companies who have invested billions into the development and production of these products and they will both come out next year. Anything else is just nutjob conspiracy theory nonsense.

The Midnight Slice: the world’s first ergonomic pizza/food cutter
Did you know that most pizza cutters on the market are hard to clean, easy to break, and produce uneven cuts? That’s why we decided to design a slicer that can reduce wrist fatigue when slicing crispy thin crusts or thicker pizza pies while making it easier for you to clean- just toss it in the dishwasher when you’re done!
The Midnight Slice was launched on Kickstarter on Tuesday, May 11th. With countless sleepless nights to perfect the ergonomic design, the Midnight Slice is the world’s first ergonomic pizza/food cutter.
So was Protasevich, a fugitive from Belarussian justice. So you agree with both hijackings?
Oh this old bad argument warmed up again.

Remember when 5 years ago people claimed that as soon car companies make electric cars they would outsell Tesla?

Well the fact is that Tesla sells more EV by far then even VW by a large amount.

Scaling BEV production is hard, and just because for produces lots of ICE cars does not mean they can magically produce lots of EVs.

Do yourself a favor and actually learn about BEV production and supply chain issues.

There are positive and negative aspects to it being a closed system, just as there are positive and negative aspects of Android's open system. Marketing just chose to emphasize the positive aspects. Not really a genius play, IMO, that's just what any marketing team does.
>Many people would be scared of "radioactivity" without much understanding. People are not particularly well educated how radioactive decline works, what half life times really mean (long half life meaning slow release, less imminent danger), why various types of radioactivity can be quite different from another etc.

Sounds prudent of them. If a small plane spreads radioactive material over an area they are in as an act of terrorism, even a nuclear expert with 5 PhDs will first panic and try to get the fuck away and only much later care to go into the minituae of the situation.
This is one of the most useful additions to WP in recent years. If you run into a word/phrase you don't know or are fuzzy on, it encourages satisfying your curiousity, saves having to load that page.

In the past few months I've also noticed a lot of innovation happening in the maps department. E.g. Ran into a great interactive Mars map the other day.
This is a complex one. I'm almost certain the reason is they want to scan for bluetooth devices to pick up the vacuum cleaner in the app.

The problem is that scanning for bluetooth devices basically is GPS because marketers started putting beacons all over the place and using their tracking toolkits in apps to pick up these beacons.

So android changed the permissions so you had to ask for location access to scan for bluetooth.

So as an app dev, you get the option to ask for location access and make setup easy, or you can direct the user to go to the bluetooth settings and pair with the vacuum and come back to the app to continue.
> "I need X million USD in engineering spend this year to fix half a decade of awful technical execution and decision making (that all happened under your watch, BTW)".

I don't know what is there in the IT/dev industry that compels some characters to quickly whip out blanket accusations of gross incompetence to anyone who isn't them.

This mindset is particularly egregious given that the whole industry has enthusiastically adopted as a best practice just agilying big balls of mud through sequences of quickly delivered stopgap solutions while refactoring and paying off technical debt is seen as wasted effort.

The author of this blog post clearly described refactoring a legacy system that worked reliably in hopes to improve their operations. Yet, here you are accusing someone investing their time and effort to improve their stuff as something that could only be explained as incompetence?

Why do you need a blockchain at all then? This is what I really don't get. If you have your "majority" available at all times they just agree on account balances and call it a day. Just like WebMoney did circa 1998.
Thank you for a good laugh. :)
Reminder: while it's true that Apple protects your privacy in the context of third party app data collection on your devices, it doesn't make it an “organization defending our privacy either”. They collect tons of data about you, and share them with third parties as they wish and their privacy policy is pretty explicit about it:

> Personal Data Apple Collects from You

> Usage Data. Data about your activity on and use of our offerings, such as app launches within our services, including browsing history; search history; product interaction; crash data, performance and other diagnostic data; and other usage data

> Location Information. Precise location only to support Find My, and coarse location

> Health Information. Data relating to the health status of an individual, including data related to one’s physical or mental health or condition. Personal health data also includes data that can be used to make inferences about or detect the health status of an individual. If you participate in a study using an Apple Health Research Study app, the policy governing the privacy of your personal data is described in the Apple Health Study Apps Privacy Policy.
