> So you compared the absolute numbers, knowing it would be misleading.

I gave the absolute numbers thinking you were smart enough to convert 0 proportionally. I certainly didn't know that it would confuse you.

> You’d expect malware authors to put their efforts where the money is.

That would be a good point if the stores were incompatible. However, it is possible to write an app that you can publish to the Amazon App Store, the Google Play Store, F-Droid, and the hundreds of Chinese app stores. Despite this, F-Droid has had zero infections. Despite the Play Store having far more users than the App Store, it has infected far fewer users.

> This is complete bullshit. Apps are signed by developed and by Apple. Were you not aware of that?

You are clearly not aware that the package submitted to Apple is signed by the the developer, and the package delivered to the user is signed only by Apple. Apple (or China) determines what app actually gets to the device. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/12880

> Doesn’t seem remotely true - here’s just one recent example:

Your example is a vulnerability in an app that can be exploited to access that app's data. It is not a malware app, and there is no evidence that any users had malware that attacked that app, let alone that any such malware was being distributed by any of the stores. By that standard, 100% of iOS users are exploited because Safari is so bugridden.

Half billion was an external estimate for xcodeghost. Apple's internal estimate pegged the number of users infected by just half of the identified malware apps at 125 million. https://www.vice.com/en/article/n7bbmz/the-fortnite-trial-is...

All of our Macs have a utility installed to remap the keyboard to make it match a PC to the extent possible. When you use multiple platforms with some frequency it is a real pain to have to deal with MacOS idiosyncrasies.

What's interesting is that Apple explicitly chose to ignore what I will go-ahead and call the de-facto standard established across pretty much every desktop GUI by a range of vendors. I have worked on Solaris, Irix, IBM OS2, Amiga OS (owned an original machine signed by the development team), Linux, Windows and MacOS. The odd duck is anything Apple made.

No reason for it whatsoever. Proof? Billions of non-engineers around the world do not seem to have any issues whatsoever operating a Windows machine, which inherits from all of the standards I mentioned above.

The gist of the thread was to somehow characterize Macs as easier and intuitive to use. That simply isn't and has not been the case for a very long time. Expert users, engineers, coders cannot be the test subjects for this evaluation. You just said that a tool you use is easy to remember because the shortcuts mimic VIM bindings. That is beyond foreign to average or below-average users like my mother, father, uncle, the local doctor, teacher, restaurant employee, etc.

No issues with the average user running MacOS on a single small screen. The abstraction works well there. The problems start once you expand beyond that.

I was recently involved in a display characterization project where we had somewhere around eight 4K+ displays attached to a PC. We also evaluated Apple's Pro Display XDR connected as the second display on an Apple laptop (I forget which one).

Using the PC (running Windows) to address every display, run calibration tools on each one and run custom characterization code was an absolute breeze. Doing the same with the Apple XDR was an ordeal. And, to make things worse, using the touchpad to navigate across the entire canvas was just horrific.

I do like Macs. I just don't think they live up to the hype. Easy and cool to use for unsophisticated users on a single screen up to a point. The problem with not making users learn anything is that they will always remain naive users.

Imagine if everyone was forced to use a GUI text editor with simple controls and you did not have the option to use VIM. That's the difference. One assumes the user is an idiot. The other considers the idea that users can actually do more than point and click with a single button on a single menu bar.

Not trying to be nasty at all. I just think Apple takes things to an undesirable extreme at times. They carry this through to the iPhone, where you now have such overloading on controls that nobody knows what they do. I lost track, I think we got up to triple-clicking the home button? And no camera shutter button (no, the volume button isn't a good solution, as the many pictures of my left foot can attest).

Anyhow, good technology. I just don't agree with the choices they seem to make again and again.
> But in the PoS corollary to Bitcoin v Bcash, coin-days staked would have no bearing on Bcash’s ability to continue making forward progress.

How wouldn't it? The ongoing coin-days staked in that fork specifically is what allows it to continue making forward progress. Just like how in a PoW fork, the ongoing consumption of energy in that specific fork is what determines the security of that fork.

The argument you link in that other thread is interesting but it doesn't appear to be exactly what you are talking about. They seem to be describing an attack where nodes are taken offline by the attacker.

I like this new UI which feels more updated and better organised in some details. I also like the idea of comments for a paper specially if the comments will be moderated (I suggest to take a look at how HN keeps the conversation valuable) and specially if the authors of the paper will engage there. Maybe you should plan to mark their responses in a visible way as maybe an answer will contribute with some context to understanding a paper.

I followed on Twitter multiple debates between paper authors and their peers, most of them very valuable and I feel that they outcome of those conversations are somehow lost in the Twitter stream, not easy reachable and for sure when someone will read that paper will not find those conversations.

One feedback I have is that I don't think science should be voted or the results be presented based on some kind of popularity.

The results of science sometimes gives us an answer we don't like or don't want. But that does not make it (the answer) less valuable or less true.

The Internet also enables bad actors to participate anonymously. Obviously plenty of the people screaming on the Internet are “real” people. But how many are paid to manipulate and agitate? What percentage of inflammatory posts on both sides of the divide are the product of paid influence?

It sounds like conspiracy theory lala land, but I knew people 10+ years ago who were writing reviews and engaging in product discussions professionally. It’s only gotten more sophisticated and widespread. It feels like today we’re living in a political landscape akin to fake review bullshit land on Amazon.

Ça 2008, one of my first times using MacOS, I had to move thousands of photos using a friends macbook. After hours of moving files from SD cards to a en external harddisk I learned that Mac standard behavior is not 'merge folders with the same name into one another' as on any other OS, but rather to replace folders with the same name completely.

Whoever sets the standard behavior of such an important operation as destructive seriously knows nothing about UI.
Do you mean the same "labor-friendly" laws that pushed all manufacturing and labor intensive industry out of rich countries and into China, or do you mean the laws that made it impossible for small-medium business to compete with the big crony capitalists?

Never mind, it doesn't matter because it is completely orthogonal to my point. My point is that regulation works by applying top-down, global uniform of rules. It mandates centralized executive power, which is the polar opposite of bottom-up/localist/fractal/decentralized development of new tech and its applications.

"Making big companies pay" does not contradict "favoring the status quo". All that big banks want now is to be able to regulate crypto, so that they can keep away any threat of a disruptive business coming out of it. Same applies to Big Media and it is insistence of controlling information under the pretense of "battling fake news". Big Telco pushed for a long time to regulate OTT services, and this is until today it is so difficult to decouple voice from data plans. Facebook/ Twitter welcome regulation, because it will make basically impossible for small fediverse providers to grow and compete with them.

Regulation favors the status quo, how much more evidence do you need?

> They set up baited traps where a giant cage is suspended, which then falls onto the whole...team

Have you seen this? Normally the gate drops only. Many ways but what seems normal in my experience, guys set up a trap with multiple entry/exists with food inside. Over time they reduce to one entry with a gate that has a trip wire or more commonly these days a camera with remote control gate release. Sometimes people use wire mesh panels overlapping to create a gate that pigs can push through one way only too.

We just had a massive boom where I am. Pigs foraging within 10m of the house (normally they would never be within 100m) and moving further into our valley than we'd ever seen before.

Science itself is already decentralized. Tons of universities charting their own path. Inventivizing reproducability has nothing to do with decentralization. Those things are orthogonal.

Anyone can technically start their own journal as well. The only thing that has to happen is for the journal to gain the trust of the scientific community over time (which, again, is mostly decentralized). Anyone can build a university. All it has to do is to build trust.

No coin or website will make that more decentralized.
> Can monogamy survive in the long-term in a world without consequences to promiscuity?

Consequences to promiscuity are not limited to STDs. Bad framing of the issue.
This discussion reminds me of the style guide for a Coq PL formalization project:

> No unicode or infix operators for judgement forms. When I use them in my proofs they make perfect sense, but when you use them in yours they're completely unreadable.

Computers (parsers, rather) are extremely sensitive to notation, and indeed in this project they eschew greek letters and unicode altogether, however it makes things more verbose, but it is almost certain that the authors communicate the ideas in paper with notation like Γ ⊢ e : σ instead of `TYPE Gamma e s`.
> cut off from their support networks, their livelihoods, etc.

Yeah, but that's all legal, and those doing the cutting are doing so voluntarily. That's freedom of association working as intended.

To me, to cross into "bullying", someone has to do something beyond their rights. Saying that someone is bad for having certain opinions is in-bounds, even if you say it loudly to a lot of people. You're within your own rights to express an opinion of disgust.

You ultimately aren't forcing anyone to do anything, and thus aren't "cutting off" anything.
It's quite obvious. One interpretation conflicts with the available data, the others don't.

You can assume they were seriously sick with COVID beyond anything a flu or cold is likely to do. We know that this means either anosmia, difficulty breathing, and low blood oxygenation, with viral pneumonia visible on X-Ray.

None of these symptoms that characterize COVID serious enough to require medical attention, more than what one would expect from a bad flu or a bad cold, are compatible with the report citing symptoms consistent with seasonal illness.

There are two other possibilities.

One is that they had seasonal illnesses that were serious enough to require some medical attention, but not COVID. This is consistent with the report, and not implausible. This is just as possible whether they have similar attitudes towards medical attention for seasonal illness as other staff.

The other is that they had seasonal illnesses that were not very serious, but sought medical attention anyways. This is expected to happen if virology staff have similar attitudes towards the issue as the rest of Chinese society.

No matter which way you slice it, there is no indication they had COVID. Even if you remain ambivalent on their behaviour.

Since crime rates are in offenses per capita, the crime rate would actually be undefined in that case.

The lab leak theory isn't a conspiracy theory, and it's rapidly looking like that's actually what happened.

So no, we don't know that it came from an animal naturally with "extremely high probability," just like early in the pandemic we "knew" it was spread by droplets, but it wasn't, and we "knew" lockdowns would help, but we didn't.

C'mon, man, tell me to trust the fucking science! I dare you! Your bat theory is the hair brained conspiracy theory, peddled by tabloids like CNN because the Trump admin liked the lab leak theory and they didn't like Trump.

Give me a fucking break, I'm so tired of the condescension, the "extremely high probability" of everything passed down by lay believers like you during this whole crappy ordeal. Everything that supports your policy positions is something true with "extremely high probability"

Holy fuck I'm so annoyed, I just spent several hours fully vaccinated wearing a pointless mask in an airport because of people like you that treat medical experts and tabloids like witch doctors and believe their every word without ever turning your puny smooth brain on for a fucking second

It was a lab leak, and it probably came from an NIH funded study backed and promoted by Chief Moron Dr Tony Fauci who should have been fired for lying to the public for political reasons over a year ago

Before you try to “fix” science like this, I would highly recommend walking through your idea with people at an open science conference like RDA Alliance or FORCE11 to get their input.

Before my company was acquired (https://assembl.net) I was building something quite similar. I went to many such conferences to meet with my “target demographic,” and I found many of my preconceptions about the future of open science were quite incorrect. I think I attended more than 10 other conferences, and I always found that the problems that needed to be solved were more social and legal than technological (though technology played a crucial role in glueing these pieces together).

I also know many people who tried to do something like what you’re doing. For example, I went through the CV Labs incubator with the guys at https://orvium.io.

Now I’m working on https://intpub.org and https://liras.org.

The deeper problems, I’ve found, are much less “sexy” because they’re not as technological. The fixes need to come in the form of improved licensing models, better publication of pre-publication results, etc. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about these problems, so I’d be interested to talk and hear where you’re at. If you’d like some sober counsel I’d be glad to provide it.

I think extreme response to disagreement is unfortunately becoming a standard communication style. We see this pattern of speech constantly reinforced on the internet and TV. It feels very satisfying. It comes across as decisive and effective (qualities of a leader!) and we keep emulating it. Each time we repeat it we get that dopamine hit of getting a "win". Over time it just becomes a go-to, automatic response. Even among people who theoretically disagree with that behavior.

I am constantly exhausted by this in-vogue communication style. I see this at work where a minor difference of opinion on whether to round a number becomes a battle where one side is framed as "real science" and I guess the other is anti-science. Minor things get immediately reframed as a fight to be won. I see members of my family adopting this, where even mundane conversations about what freeway to take are an opener for some political jab. Baiting for disagreement to get that dopamine hit of "winning". I also see this among friends, where many conversations just seem to be continuous, defensive reinforcements of identity.
