My point was that I don't believe this is Apple's primary motivation.

If Apple wanted to allow arbitrary code execution, they could have an entirely separate category of app for it that includes warning labels, and requires the developer to justify to Apple why their app requires arbitrary code execution in order to function.

If someone submitted a flashlight app that requested this capability they could just deny it. E.g. they could say that the only valid justification for allowing arbitrary code to run is for developer applications that are meant to be running user written code.

Apps in this category could be forced to pay extra to apple in order for Apple to pay for special, ongoing scrutiny for security reasons. They might even do things like require that the app publisher be well recognized and have some sort of provable, good track record of not releasing malware.

Arbitrary execution is not incompatible with review, it makes it harder.
True. A company we bought in the very early 2000's was paying $1000 a month to an SEO "expert". The expert hadn't noticed that the site had a robots.txt file that was excluding all search bots but was still happy to take their money and produce faked up reports about how busy they'd been pushing search terms around.
The FBI doesn't need the VPS to be in the United States for that

The FBI specifically has had expanded Congressional authority for like 10 years to operate extraterritorially on cyber matters

FBI agents will show up physically in any country and request cooperation from local municipal police (maybe) to seize electronic property as well as affect arrests in a way compliant with both jurisdictions. Given that private key crypto seizure is consequence free and irrevocable, if the FBI had access to the memory at a foreign data center they could have just taken it without worrying about local procedural nuances.

Using crypto the proper way already shield against this, because you have to assume that you can't trust your own security or the data center operators, let alone the state. The server should only have the Master Public Key[1] for giving a one-time use address and rotating down the index in one of the address trees immediately after any input is received (rotate to a new account upon receipt of funds, new accounts are from an infinite tree of arrays at each node). The mnemonic for the master public key would have been generated offline and never on any device. Moving the funds, whenever one feels like it, can be signed offline and physically handed to a node that will append the signed transaction to the blockchain.

[1]Bitcoin Improvement Protocols - BIP 44 (2014), BIP 39 (2013), BIP 32 (2012)

but anyway I'm leaning towards it being a private key on Coinbase that they got a warrant to check for, and it was correct, and they seized those assets
> should probably sue Replit for slander.

If the CEO is making the stealing part up (seems likely) the intern probably could sue Replit. Intentional copyright infringement/trade secret violations are a crime and my understanding of US law (not a lawyer) is that that makes it actionable regardless of damages.

Should he though? If he wins it seems likely he'll get nominal damages. He'll have invested a huge number of hours of his life into it. He'll be risking being on the hook for some or all of his lawyers fees depend on how the judge feels about awarding costs.

It doesn't seem likely to be worth it. Public shaming of Replit like this is a very cost effective way of punishing Replit... the legal system not so much.
I mean, you did read the part where the HTML cleaners were adding links to the content they were “cleaning” right? Whether it’s what is causing the higher ranking or not, they are certainly trying to do something underhanded.
Yeah, to be honest this seems suspicious. Either it is inaccurate reporting, or there is something potentially fishy going on. List of possibilities in no particular order:

* The "hack" was all done by the FBI as a false flag operation

* The FBI has access to encryption backdoors used in some blockchains

* The DarkSide group re-used previously cracked keys with their wallet (I'm not sure this is even possible with any crypto, but throwing it out there as a maybe)

* The FBI hacked into computers owned by DarkSide and obtained the private key from them

* The FBI controls more than 51% of hashing power for the crypto used here, and transferred the coins to their own wallet using a 51% attack
There are two parts to this. One, yeah the optometrist wants your money, sure. You probably don’t need your script checked annually unless you’re old or there’s something serious already known to be wrong with your eyes.

But... Not perceiving a change in your vision doesn’t mean your eyes are healthy - there are all sorts of diseases that a decent optometrist is screening for during an eye exam. Most notably glaucoma, which is irreversible and often presents no symptoms. Your eyes are really really good at working around flaws in your vision, which means that you can feel like you are seeing fine when really your vision is failing. This is what a lot of “check your vision at home” things miss - they can hand you an eyeglass prescription (so long as your vision isn’t too far outside the norm) but they almost never screen for disease, and catching those diseases early can be the difference between seeing and legally blind.

You know that famed backward-compatibility that some folks praise Microsoft for? Yeah, well, this is the dark side of that. I'm curious how much stuff would actually break if one were just allowed to create files called COM1. Sure, someone is out there bit-banging stuff to a serial port with the copy command, but must we all suffer so that those three people don't have to rewrite?
Thank you. I was CRYING at the last link.
Someone should consider taking the hint, then.
Do you have a specific reason to not believe it?
There's a graph there on market size, which shows the market size has grown 50,000x since 91.
Considering the recent payout from apple over leaked images from a college woman that was asked to hand over the password for the phone she had serviced it's a pretty atrocious ask for a strictly hardware issue.
Yeah, but there are quite a few efforts out there to extend PG into a distributed DB of one flavor or another. Some examples are YugabyteDB, CockroachDB, Aurora and Citus. It's a reasonable approach, but it's also reasonable to come at it from the other direction - build a SQL engine on top of a solid distributed key-value store. Contrafactuals are always dicey, but FDB vanishing behind the Apple wall of silence sure didn't help.
Predictive Coding as Backprop and Natural Gradients (2020)
I would rather spend a few thousand more for a natural gas generator, it will run indefinitely as long as you have natural gas.
Ah TIL. The "obselescence" notion seems to apply somewhat cleanly to their previous deprecation waves.

But it still doesn't seem to explain this deprecation list though? For Apple's "obsolete" counter of seven years to run out for the 2014 iMac this year, they would have to have stopped selling it immediately after launch, but I'm assuming they sold it well into 2015 until their refresh a year later. One could have dropped three grand on a high end iMac in mid 2015, only for it to stop getting major updates just six years later (and updates of any sort in eight).

The 2015 Macbook won't even get into their obsolescence window until next year at the earliest.
For the curious, here's the comment that it seems to be referencing:

https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/njckp1/rustc_codegen_...

That comment does have many valid points. Note that the issue at hand isn't whether an alternative implementation of the compiler is viable at all, but rather whether an alternative front-end (i.e. parsing, type checking etc) is desirable. I have to admit that I don't really see any advantages to having multiple frontends, when the one that's already there is open source under a permissive license.

A Samsung A51 is a budget phone:

https://browser.geekbench.com/android_devices/samsung-galaxy...

Similar performance to an average Haswell Laptop CPU.

https://browser.geekbench.com/processors/intel-core-i7-4600u

Also it has the Intel 4000 series. This GPU lagged in rendering the windows desktop on 1080. Let alone with a dual monitor setup.

It's not irrelevant. My point is that your ancient CPU with a horrible GPU is less powerful than a mid range smart phone.

Or a secondhand flagship.

There needs to come a point where you accept that your hardware is crap not the software.

Dota 2 is 7 years old.
It wasn't decent graphics back in 2013. You may as well have said that the laptop runs minesweeper with decent graphics.

Go load up Genshin Impact. It runs on smartphones, but I imagine might set your new laptop on fire.

Why is your 15% thing the fault of electron? Microsoft teams is a crap application it's not the frameworks fault.

I'd say the majority of shitty applications I've used is coded in Java.

I've used plenty of enterprise tools that spit out the lovely error message "NullPointerException"

Is it fair to say that all apps coded with Java is shit?

But also where are you getting your 15% from?
That's traditionally how most ML has been used in radiology systems (where it is).
So far it would seem the US Civil war started on hard money and turned to fiat.

> Demands for money in the Civil War rapidly exceeded the availability of specie (gold and silver) and the capacities of the private banking system. The governments in both the North and the South began to print their own currencies as a temporary wartime expedient. In the Union, competing currencies were eventually curtailed by a 10% tax on privately printed notes. Many of the former note-issuing businesses successfully liquidated or amalgamated and others were converted into “national banks” under the National Banking Act of 1863.

http://numismatics.org/a-history-of-american-currency/

Clearly that's just one case, but it will take me a while to gather further evidence.

Edit:

Seems federal reserve bills were in use through both World Wars while silver certificates dwindled out of existence as they were exchanged for silver.

> Following the financial panic of 1907, the Federal Reserve banking system was established to provide a safety “buffer” between the government and the economy. A new Federal Reserve Bank Note currency was able to be sustained through the Great Depression of the 1930s while most other forms of American currency were abandoned

So from a United States Centric view, fiat took us through some large wars.

I'll check on some other countries, but at this point I think it's fair to ask you to provide some evidence to back your statement.

> In fact, all of the biggest wars were without fiat money
I really wish Google would just come out with its own fully fledge desktop linux OS, rather than ChromeOS. They're probably the only company out there that could feasibily get linux on the desktop, as it could use its large resources to really polish user experience on the same scale as macos/windows (drivers, UI, centralised app store, encourage 3rd parties to develop for the platform, etc)
Okay, here's CBS saying the same thing: NASA always wanted two contracts, and was forced to give up on redundancy on the lunar lander due to their budget getting slashed. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/spacex-wins-2-9-billion-contrac...

"Agency managers originally hoped to award follow-on HLS contracts to two of the companies to encourage competition and protect against the possibility of major problems or delays that might affect one company but not the other.

But Congress only allocated $850 million in NASA's fiscal 2021 budget for lander development, about one quarter of the amount the agency said it needed to have a new vehicle ready by 2024.

Given the available money and projected future spending, NASA "down selected" to a single contractor — SpaceX — deciding the California rocket builder offered the most attractive combination of cost, technology and management expertise."

Neutrality may always have some element of manufacture, but that doesn't mean it's equivalent to intentionally trying to generate partisan outrage. This isn't a "bailout fund for Jeff Bezos" — word-for-word quote from the headline of the Intercept article! — it's just NASA continuing to try to get budget for the projects it wanted all along, so it can have redundant contractors like it did with the commercial crew program and avoid getting stuck with monopolist pricing (and monopolist poor performance) like it nearly did with Boeing.
I agree with some of the other comments, googles actions on SEO are always shrouded in a little "algorithmic" mystery. That said, they do apply "manual action" penalties to individual websites.

Using google search console you can determine if a manual action has been applied to your own website: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9044175?hl=en

Rather than determine the ranks, these actions remove / punish offending websites from the ranks, effectively making room for 'good' actors.

Manual actions often come after a a significant change in ranking algorithm or policy, and can be reverted / resolved in some cases. This usually requires removing or disavowing (in the case of unauthorized or unresponsive sites) the links pointing to a website.
Generally apps that send telemetry get a lot of flak here. Even if mentioned in the docs/faq.
This story makes absolutely no sense at all. The errors present by these hackers are so comical it's simply unbelievable. I'm supposed to believe some elite Russian hacking group keeps their crypto wallets running on a US host where the FBI just logs right in and snatches the private key? I'm starting to entertain the conspiracies that the future of commodities price manipulation is fake ransomware attacks. There needs to be a serious audit of CME derivatives trading. There will come a day when some oil futures trader pays a ransomware group or an employee at a pipeline company and makes billions.
> Indeed, but my point is that, considering there are more native Spanish speakers in the world than English native speakers, it would have been a good idea to pick another word.

AFAIK “Monterrey”, “Monte Rey”, and “Monterey” are all alternate spellings from the Spanish-speaking world of “Monterrei”, the place name in Galicia from which many uses of the name (including the California place name) come, often (again, as in the California case) with personal titles of nobility as intermediaries.

> Imagine a super popular Mexican company had chosen "Niu York" as the name of one of the most popular software products in the world. Wouldn't that bother you?

Well, if I cared about the company or product, it might bother me a little that they failed to get the usual Spanish version of the place name (Nueva York) right, which most Spanish uses, including in product names, tend to use. But probably not even that, no. Maybe mildly amused.
Do people often put up source code that isn't under some kind of FOSS license onto GitHub?
No, Im not an MD, but my co-founder was.

Globally, hundreds of thousands of radiologists have been trained over the years have have collectively achieved generally consistent practices. Radiology is pattern matching and a set of very complex decision trees. They arent magic, because we consistently churn out more practitioners who achieve the same consistent outputs given inputs.

Anyone trying to improve things is like every other scientist, they aren't trying to figure out the entire decision tree or every single thing, they are trying to chip away on complex problems little by little.

I also strongly disagree with "radiology is more art than science" because if it was, radiologists wouldn't be able to agree on diagnoses.
And that's sorta the rub - these costs are all really reasonable to anyone who's been working a white collar job for a few years, but it can be hard to afford for new employees and people in poverty.

>Evidently, I am not a good judge of character, and I need to stop believing in people without really knowing them.

I seriously hope this sticks with you. I've let a lot of my frustration with HN and other social media go when I've realized that people are not good judges of characters of others.

God damn people fall for scams, charlatans and more all the time. I spent much of high school frustrated because one of my closer friends was just a constant grifter and no one could ever see through it despite my innards constantly screaming ALERT ALERT ALERT.

STOP GOING TO BAT FOR STRANGERS, FOLKS.

oh man this is the kind of stuff that eats at me. I have a better sense of tech than most (adopted Rust, K8s and crypto 3+ years before they were on anyone's radar), but I also don't fall for this shit.

nothing about replit is that unique either, to hear the way y'all jerk off about is... well holy shit no one there's a contingency of us still refusing to go back to the industry. I'd rather shoot myself.

Nothing about replit is unique. I don't know how to stress that more. Give me $50K and Theia and I could make a MVP that apparently stupid VCs would be dying to fund.

Might be the datatypes. fread automagically tries to determine the datatypes of your columns by jumping around the file as it's being read.

https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/data.table/versions/...

Or you can pass colClasses = 'character' as an argument to read everything as a string, but that will be much much slower.

fread also reads from stdin so you can pass bash commands into the first parameter instead of using bash to run r via R -e.
TBF he said it would be an open protocol, not open-source.

Honestly not sure how it works now, I can’t imagine there are many people out there that without safari on their dock.

If you actively have safari open it should be in the ‘recent apps’ section of the dock anyways, I don’t think you can turn that off.

Now in 15 there is a button at the top of the window you can press that takes you to the Home Screen to open any app you want next to your current app.
You can't directly re-assign those developers, but you can try to influence their decisions. It's not only about the current developers either, but also potential new contributors that may be considering either project.
To be fair, you can see that the README of the jq-console project that was mentioned in this article had a reference to what seems to be the predecessor of repl.it months prior to the publication of this article: https://github.com/replit-archive/jq-console/blame/7c0b9ffa8...

It's kinda funny how this whole drama is for copying some "intellectual property" that anyone can easily build.

If you don't want your virtual cloud sandbox app to be copied easily, build something that actually is novel. For example see Stackblitz https://stackblitz.com/ I think they're going to completely destroy all these Replit-like models.
I imagine this would be treated by the legal system the same way any derivative work produced by a human would be.
I guess the cynical answer would be: because there is so much VC money out there, you can probably get funding for just about anything.

I've written an run code through remote Pluto.jl notebooks and Jupyter Notebooks, locally through iSH.app, and remotely through mosh and it's certainly not a perfect experience, but it's pretty serviceable.

Especially now that the new M1 iPads have so much ram, background tasks won't get frozen nearly as often so that alone will improve the multitasking experience, let alone the new stuff they're adding in iPadOS 15.

Honestly though, I'm fine with it not being a perfect experience, as long as I can actually do it if I need to do it. But I guess apple is saving me from myself by forcing me out of their ecosystem.
Obviously the 3D sculpting of the Dactyl Manuform can be better than a 2D layout, but the distinction I find in the Mitosis layout is the fact that the main thumb keys are two-tiered, letting me use one thumb to hit both shift and the number layer key simultaneously, or one at a time.
I briefly used a lawyer in the states and the cost was extremely reasonable - in Canada I've used one much more and the cost continues to be quite reasonable.

I think this impression is just a result of how lawyers are portrayed in the media, most folks are quite happy to sit down with someone and talk something through - moreso if it can be done entirely over email or the phone.

Oxford Dictionary says: "the principle that the speed and capability of computers can be expected to double every two years, as a result of increases in the number of transistors a microchip can contain."

Which notably mentions performance. I have often interpreted Moore's Law to be the fact that doubling improvements in performance will continue roughly every 16-18 months, but not always directly proportionally to transistor count -- other ways to squeeze out doubling performance gains arise and often in unexpected places.

Craig Federighi: Because of this dual-hop architecture, neither Apple nor the relay station knows both who you are and where you are going.

This (and another comment you made deeper down) make me think you may be stuck on the mechanical/technical side of SEO. While it is important, it is not nearly as important as it used to be, say 10 years ago. It's probably much less than 50% of your overall ranking. Yes, you need to get it right, but relevant back links and the associated link text on the sites linking TO you will have a far greater affect. Google prioritizes what OTHERS say about your site more than any factors you can control. Mainly because people abuse those factors significantly.
