I'm surprised at the negativity here. I agree with this decision.

When I saw it was a 6-3 decision my first instinct was "oh another conservative-liberal divide" but no it isn't. I'm actually surprised to find Thomas dissenting since he's just. a stickler for the literal text.

To me the ruling seems correct: the offender may have exceeded department rules and such access by that measure was "unauthorized" but he was not an unauthorized user to the system.

It's refreshing to see limits to the overreach on what constitutes "hacking". This isn't hacking.

Were this ruling in effect when Aaron Swartz was charged, I very much suspect it would've invalidated the hacking charges under the CFAA (since he used a guest account he had access to).
Except art is used as a tax vehicle. Then nonsensical valuations disproportionate to intrinsic characteristics exchanged between corporations and foundations makes a lot of sense.

It quite alters the respect to other genuine works of artists, but it is an art of itself. An artifact of our legalized societies, perhaps a comedy staring at us as much as we stare at its sale price.
Hey ipspam, I think that you should probably question the sources that you're using. I chose to look into one allegation you made:

> They "Illegally" encouraged teens under the age of 17.5 to register to vote. Thousands registered before they were eligible to register. The problem is they would have been 18 when the election happened anyway, so the illegal registration is kind of moot.

But the very first search result for "voter registration age georgia" was the Georgia Secretary of State's voter registration guidelines, which states:

> To register to vote you must:

> ...

> Be at least 17 1/2 years of age to register and 18 years of age to vote

Casting aspersions on a legal voter registration campaign as illegal, despite being so easily proven as lawful, strongly suggests to me that you've been targeted by disinformation which you've accepted as fact.

I found these potential pieces of disinformation in your comment:

* Hundreds of thousands of fraudulent votes in Wisconsin

* Absentee/mail voter fraud in general

* That there are enough fraudulent votes to throw the Arizona election result into doubt

* That the "left" has a disregard for laws and rules

* That it's unknown whether "massive fraud" took place

* A conspiracy theory involving the "Center for Civic Life"

* Statistical anomalies in multiple states suggesting fraud

* A conspiracy theory involving Mark Zuckerberg
Inversely I'm kinda confused how Porsche (owned by VW) seems to get very good reliability scores[1]. Down to 9/26 from last years 4/26. Compared to VW's 24/26 that's quite a large delta.

I always chalked up reliability as a function of new tech introduction + focus on reliability. I figured Porsche gets decent numbers because of how relatively low-tech they are and the ridiculous prices they charge for optioning-in that tech (basic things like ACC or memory seats).

Is there something else organizationally, process or product wise that Porsche does differently than the VW group? I do know that they have a separate factory w/ seperate engineering departments (:cough VW engineers design Lamborghini's).

They'll need a new charger plug, one that can be automatically removed and retracted.

Doesn't Tesla already have a feature where the car will pull out of its parking spot and come to you when you click a button on your phone? That would solve the "hey, were did my car go?!?" problem with this scheme.
> love the fact there was a person who thought people would enjoy the sight of a concrete ball in a glass bathtub or something, and they went and created it.

That last part is key for me - that they actually made it. I personally would never bother with such "silly" ideas, but I nevertheless understand how much effort is involved in sourcing, manipulating, transporting, etc. physical things, and I have a certain amount of inspiration and respect for people who follow through with their ideas, however trite or uninspiring I might find them subjectively.
Life is hairy and complicated. Every day millions of Americans jump into death chariots and we expect them to mostly be fine.

We should not err on the side of creating a locked down Fisher Price playpen for consumers. Not at the expense of our freedoms and the rest of our industry. Think about how much damage this has done to innovation because costs are redirected to Apple's coffers rather than putting more engineers behind novel ideas.

Apple is sitting on mountains -- a continental shelf -- of opportunity cost. What a waste.

Japan is losing 500k people a year. That rate is entire Rhode island's population gone in just 2 years. And the rate of decline is expanding.

The decline only appears as slow because we're counting it annually. It appears fast when you realize there is no real way to turn it around. We will not have women producing more children all of a sudden. No policy change will take us there.

The only time the decline will stabilize is after the huge mass of old die off.

This is something I would buy if I had confidence in the simulator.

Why not write a blog or a brief white paper giving some hint of what's going on behind the scenes?

Generally speaking, every bit of energy someone spends being cool (good UI) comes at the expense of energy spent being good. Maybe you've done some serious work on the simulator, but I can't tell from your marketing material.
I used to do this. 2 days at office and 3 at home after mostly working in office. It really brought into stark contrast how very little I could get done when coming in to work.

I would show up exhausted after a long commute and look for a desk. Then I had to setup and it was weird being in a different place every time. (They took my cubicle and put in Hot Desks.) The noise was distracting. (Open plan) It smelled like a Jack in the Box from the cafeteria and getting lunch took a lot of time. In person meetings ate up a lot of the time I would normally spend multi-tasking.

I did like the socializing when I could get it. But the office magic seemed hardly there anymore. I didn't have a real place. A traveler just waiting to get home.
I wasn't actually questioning the legitimacy as much as surprised there is overlap between Teen Vogue and Hacker News readership.

I've got some experience with functional languages, and a good amount with functional features in OO languages. Started learning Clojure this week, and was pleasantly surprised with how quickly I could get working projects up and running. Less upfront learning curve than Elixir, which was unexpected.
It's a bit under the average (13,500) but not outrageously so.
The Christie's beeple auction was a normal middle class person? If you are referring to the $69million Beeple auction held by Christie's that buyer was Metakoven. Who is if the financial backer of an NFT investment fund called Metapurse. So he absolutely wasn't some normal middle class person.
Sure, totally granted and fair enough that my writing didn't convey my intent correctly.

My intent was for "Except" to apply specifically to "University: <Monitors social media>", which was the part I was trying to indicate wasn't factual in this instance. Again, I can totally understand how it reads as I'm disagreeing with the meta-point, and I'm sorry again that my writing failed to be precise enough to match my intent.

I know, right, every stack exchange site should really write down a comprehensive how-to-ask page, and they should have a dedicated section just for what used to be called "MCVE" but has since been renamed to "Minimal, Reproducible Example" ... err I mean one day when they write up these guidelines they will eventually rename it

Then people wouldn't have all those "it don't work, what do" questions closed and instead moderators can put in just as much effort as the asker did

In seriousness, I believe some of the miscommunication stems from the difference between "I had my question closed for not following the published site guidelines" versus an actively hostile "get bent, n00b" interaction

I don't know if I'd call it groundbreaking. Hyundai has been doing 10 year 100,000 mile warranties for basically their entire existence. Plus they don't require you to play the extend your warranty game by taking it to a dealership every year for maintenance.
I only service my car at the brand dealership and I’m sure it’s both overpriced and often unnecessary. It means several hundred dollars per year (25% sales tax etc). I wouldn’t want to buy a new-ish car with third party service stamps though, so the expensive service does retain some value.

So long as this doesn’t make service even more expensive, at least I’d get something for it that I don’t today. At the moment I tend to instead trade for a newer car once the 2-5 year warranty runs out. This would be cheaper than that at least.
Jony Ive has poached ‘at least four’ Apple design team members for LoveFrom
There’s also the effect where engineer A says “two years” and has a solid plan to hit that date, but engineer B says “6 months” without actually having a plan.

In my experience, engineer B usually gets to take charge of the project, and inevitably takes 3-4 years before the project ends, having failed to deliver anything that works.

Bonus points if the project is then declared a success by the pointy haired boss that bet on engineer B.

An arena allocator allows you to store many allocations _of different types_ in the same single chunk of memory, and then free all of them at one point in time.
So your use case effectively represents maybe 1% of iOS/iPadOS users? :P Realistically probably less?

Because, as a musician - I should just use the Web App version of GarageBand, right?

Because I'm sure the Web App version of GarageBand will run circles around the native version, right? :P And it'll have all the support for things like Audio Bus, USB Midi support, and USB Audio card I/O - of course. And that'll all be totally secure, too!

...

(GarageBand adds immense and completely irreplaceable value for iOS for me...it's actually the reason I use iOS/iPadOS as I can import those creations into Logic Pro on my Mac and that ease of workflow is absolutely impossible to reproduce anywhere else. I'd pay $200 for GarageBand if it wasn't shockingly free, minus the requirement to stick with iOS/iPadOS.)

Plus - who could forget about that fantastic Web-only version of ProCreate, for all the millions of hobbyist and professional designers who buy an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil for - y'know - art.

I love using the Apple Pencil to manipulate extremely high-resolution art in the browser - it never crashes and it's so much more responsive than a native app!

...

(Obviously there is not - nor ever will there be - a Web version of ProCreate. Or GarageBand. And the replacements will certainly not perform better or support awesome things like AudioBus.)

Gotta love how well Garageband, ProCreate; and all those native video games hundreds of millions of people like to play and use work in a browser on iOS - you're right - better scrap the App Store altogether!

Clearly nobody installs apps and there are no potential use cases for tens of or hundreds of millions of users to do so.

...okay, I'm done. :P
You do you HN. Downvote the uncomfortable opinions! That'll surely help everyone
I notice the witch is in a room by herself.
Those two things are not fully related. Apple could (and to some extend does) design a system that keeps YOU in control without being an anti-competitive platform that prevents competition in non-OS / non-platform markets.

Preinstalling and pushing Apple Music / iCloud (not to mention giving it private entitlements the competitors can't use) is not related to the iOS security model by itself.

There's also no reason that the curator of your app store has to be the same entity that sold you your hardware - there are plenty of even more trustworthy organizations and people that could create curated stores which might be even more relevant than AppStore haphazard and inconsistent curation.

Imagine if AppStore could just be a framework where you can choose curators you trust more than a Californian megacorp.
Maybe, don't know.

In what concerns me, although I like Rust, I only see it for scenarios where any kind of memory allocation is very precious, Ada/SPARK and MISRA-C style.

I have been using GC languages with C++ like features, or polyglot codebases, for almost 20 years to think otherwise.

Most of the time developers learn about new and miss out on the low level language features.

It is a matter of balance, either trying to do everything in a single language, or eventually write a couple of functions in a lower level language that are then used as building blocks for the rest of the application.

No need to throw away the ecosystem and developer tooling just to rewrite a data structure.
Those must've been released only in the last couple of years. In 2019 there was still no Kotlin generator. The OP shouldn't have been modded down, because that is indeed pathetic.

Interesting take since Clojure and Java are two very different languages. And unlike for example Kotlin, Clojure does not try to be a better Java than Java. But true though Clojure leverages the power of the jvm.
"The “way” is already paid by the hardware — but Apple uses their position of power to double-dip."

I understand the optics of this don't look good, but is it wrong to have multiple sources of revenue derived from the "way"?

1. what happens if supply chain dynamics and smartphone market competition negatively impact the hardware margins? What happens when consumer appetite for innovation in the phone stagnates and margins collapse? This would happen because Apple couldn't leverage new hw+sw features to differentiate itself.

2. How do we know the price of the hardware today isn't offset by services revenue? service revenue disappearing might increase the upfront cost of the phone for everyone.

In either of these scenarios, if Apple got to the point of _needing_ the app store fees to make the iPhone an attractive product to build and support, they couldn't start charging in the future. It needs to be set in advance and continue. They can always decrease the fees, but cannot make them go up. It would not be fair for developers to decide on making an app as a business venture only to find out in the future there is a 30% platform. This is something that has been known and transparent since day, yet developers continue to see the value of the platform.

Just looking at it from their position
Twitter lets you search for tweets near any location. It's not an exact location because nobody really wants strangers on the internet to know their exact location.
Same deal with Ubuntu and Debian. One is the upstream of the other so I don’t really get the point.
> This is why I'm optimistic about WebAssembly, beyond time and investment, what prohibits it from achieve performance parity with native?

It's cross-platform VM-enabled bytecode? Approaching native performance very closely is the best plausible outcome. Measured on all metrics and not just pure number-crunching (start-up time generally, "cold" start-up, memory use, memory use over time, et c., all in real-world applications and not bespoke benchmarking programs) it's unlikely it'll even get very close. Close enough? Maybe, but I'm skeptical that there is such a (realistic) achievable state as "close enough" on a platform that runs on a small battery. Look at Android's decades of playing catch-up on performance & power use, for instance.

[EDIT] Down-voters, please comment: do first-year CS principles and direct observation of existing, long-lived, real-world cross-platform VM systems (the JVM, for example) somehow not apply to WebAssembly?

I would hope that there are stronger protections against such abuses of authorization. What if a police officer (or system administrator, etc.) sold information about a potential victim to a criminal that resulted in physical or financial harm to said victim?
This reminds me of things like SOX, HIPAA where for any set of compliance/audit requirements there is a layer of people in the middle who always suggest to add all kinds of un-necessary things "just in case" it might be required. These suggestions are based on their interpretation or pre-empting of the compliance process rather than anything that is actually explicitly required.

Why can't the auditors explicitly state what needs to be auditable about io_uring? Instead of guessing and debating.
That buyer most definitely wasn't some normal middle class person. He was someone well known in the NFT space who also runs an investment fund related to NFT's.

Details here: https://www.ledgerinsights.com/christies-beeple-69-million-n...

I'm not aware of any crazy NFT auctions that have been purchased by "normal middle class" people. They've all been people heavily involved in crypto.

That goes for the losing bidders also. The person who was the second highest bidder in that auction is also heavily involved in the crypto space.

Flippantly, it's entirely possible for someone to be both paranoid and to have enemies.

People who are poor, and especially those that live in rural areas, face serious difficulties. But minority Americans face those same problems, plus racism.

"Everyone was on board with MLK's dream of equal opportunity for all. Racial discrimination was clearly a bad idea."

Everyone? Clearly a bad idea? I could rustle you up a big stack of people who disagree. Weirdly, many of them are poor and rural---you'd think they would see the common cause and join together, but no. On the other hand, there's the old joke about everyone having to have someone to look down on; they may be white trash, but at least they're not black.
I have the same observation as a fairly novice maya programmer. it's absolutely priceless to be able to do something using the "regular" UI and just see every single command that is run and then just copy paste the appropriate bits and stitch them together with various conditionals and tests.

maya is even MORE layered than just ui -> script commands, there's the intermediate layer of the node editor which shows the scene data as a set of interconnected nodes and what information they're passing between each other (with a few odd omissions) basically any function in maya can be accessed at least 3 ways at 3 different levels of technical skill. where in blender there are still fairly large missing chunks to translate between the UI level, node level and script level.

all that being said it's a very impressive 3d suite and I highly welcome any and all competition!

Yes, I was surprised by this. We ended up using the Java ones only two years ago because of the lack of a Kotlin generator. Google had a blog post talking about what a struggle it was for some reason, but meanwhile someone had already created a decent Swift generator.
Technology is only as good as its outcomes are. I didn't instantly realize back then that width/height attributes are required, because SVG as an element (not as a powerful format) doesn't respect given CSS layout. You didn't instantly detect the issue to suggest a working solution, probably because you know too much recipes to pick one off the top of the head. This is the end result of such technology - we both spend much more time learning and/or explaining than it could be. Now multiply that by the factor of world and by general shortage of a single-person skill capacity and time.

If you pick any other technology, e.g. an airport gateway system or a shop checkout line, and apply this "can be surprising if you don’t know what you’re doing with it", you'll get a big congestion instead of a functioning airport or a shop. Users are not to blame when the system is based on some cryptic nonsense. Good systems just work, bad systems require custom effort to fly and never scale. These congestions induced by web tech only pull us back and I can't understand why you're so positive with it (if not condescending; sorry if I mistook that).
If you find yourself typing the words "people like you," I suggest taking a moment to cool off.
