Just to add to my comment:

It might be confusing but that was account recovery attack.

For account recovery there is no "password" as thieves just made their own password while having victim phone number.

So phone number as a password recovery option is not secure without any additional checks. Not 2FA because with this attack there was no second factor.
It’s vastly smaller though so doesn’t have the market power that a monopoly would have.

When there’s a market with only two players where #1 has 75% of the market and #2 has 24%, describing #2 as being part of a monopoly is inaccurate.

That’s like saying that Apple had a monopoly with Microsoft in the 90s because between the two of them they had the whole market.
Yes. And? Microsoft does that for Windows, and you know Apple already does it for MacOS right?

Anyone who wants to list on the App Store can could still continue doing so and pay directly. The fees right now don't make sense anyway as many apps are free while others have to pay a cut for services that Apple has nothing to do with.
> some expert who for some reason is giving medical advice which is incompatible with the scientific consensus (this would really boggle my mind)

Doesn't really seem that mind boggling to me. The clear public health impetus at this point is simply to get shots in as many arms as possible. We've already had Fauci openly admit that he gave guidance against masking and low-balled herd immunity threshold estimates because he presumed it would not lead to the behavior he desired from the public at the time. It's not hard to imagine that mentality has made its way into the rank-and-file somewhat.
The Kelly criterion takes into account the fact that "gaining $25000 is worse than not losing $25000". A game where you have a 50/50 chance of gaining $25k or losing $25k has a negative expectation in the log domain, so per the Kelly Criterion one would not bet on this game.

You are right that "your rate of return in a given game might depend on your the amount you bet", this is actually very common. Consider a stock market: buying 1000 shares and selling them a year later will generate less than 1000x the return of buying 1 share and selling it a year later (assuming the stock goes up), because you pay more per share to buy 1000 shares and make less per share when you sell 1000 (because the share price moves as you buy/sell).

Related, I really enjoyed this treatment of the Kelly Criterion by Thorp and highly recommend it http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/cs286r/courses/fall12/papers/Tho...
If that's the case, you have a good point.
> I don't see how public health would benefit from not recommending shots to everyone as there is no downside.

You'd get all the never infected people vaccinated sooner; so 'everyone' (except anti-vax not infected prior to effective 'herd immunity') would be immune sooner.
> some expert who for some reason is giving medical advice which is incompatible with the scientific consensus

Does that really boggle your mind? We're all human. I don't think there's a relationship between being an expert and being honest.
Isn't the point of the pipeline to send the oil to Gulf Coast refineries? There's not that many direct uses for dirty Bakken crude, which also happens to be particularly dangerous to ship by train.
What about e-currency? They don't take a cut from coinbase.
This seems like the same question anyone who's happy with the way Apple runs things could ask those that want the government to step in and change it? Why not just go use Android, where things are exactly how you want them to be? Why limit everyone else rather than make a choice for yourself?
Well, that's encouraging. Now we have data for about 5 months on that. About the same on vaccinated individuals. In a year, we'll know more about how long immunity lasts, and if and when booster shots will be needed.
> Personally, I think we rely on prod access as a crutch because it's easier to expect that than it is to build a sufficient infrastructure.

Which I think is reasonable if you are not in a strictly controlled space.

Not everyone is able to spend weeks or months on instrumentation efforts.
A lot of Africans would strongly disagree that France has no "global influence". There are an awful lot of French troops deployed somewhere in Africa right now, and an awful number of African countries still use a French-controlled currency.

They just keep playing the imperialism game in a very old-fashioned way, with little care for modern sensibilities.
How is it not open source?
Facebook is pretty big. Couldn't you just find a team that is predominately in the office?
Because nobody is limited by having more choice. It's quite literally the opposite situation.
We surveyed the opinions of our 2021 summer intern population before they started and something over 90% of them expressed a preference to be in the office.

Of course, summer interns are a slightly odd population as the choice they're making is probably between doing their internship remotely from their bedroom at their parents house or spending ten weeks in the big city so there is that.
Thanks! That's why I posted a reply instead of just upvoting, I think its important to show people that they're not alone, and what they are thinking is normal.
Are these portable to outside of the Apple ecosystem?
The proper comparison would be Microsoft banning any browsers apart from internet explorer, intentionally gimping internet explorer to make it less of a competitor to native apps, going to great lengths to make it impossible for users to install any native apps not through the microsoft store... and then doing what they do with microsoft store.

It's all the things at the start that are anti competitive, not the cut.
It's understandable that censorship is not a good thing. But when we talk about "the marketplace of ideas" it's easy to forget that marketplaces can have scammers and bad actors.

I don't know what the answer is, but I don't think that flooding the market with fakes is a good thing. I do know that most people don't like to be wrong and there's a human tendency to double down rather than admit a mistake.

I've tried to engage in conflicting opinions here trying to find a common ground and have failed every time. I'm stupid enough to try again but shit gets ugly fast and I don't want dang to have to scold me yet again.
It's not very satisfying so definitely not retire early. However, it's a good way to raise the equivalent of a seed round without having to give up any equity and simultaneously execute on practical customer discovery regarding the needs of modern engineering teams in a remote-only world.
You... can't heat homes with electricity?

You missed the point. The upthread poster made a gag about BNSF as a way of arguing that this was somehow a corrupt gift to the transportation industry (which... yeah, whatever).

I quipped about Tesla to indicate that, no, the market adapts along every available axis and renewable power is if anything more likely to benefit than some rail outfit that just happens to be owned by Warren Buffett.
Well, if the mailbox is deleted on the server it could sync and delete everything on your mac
That is not units or sales, the wiki article I cited includes both web traffic and units.

This also shows that web traffic isn’t a function of market share because iOS users generate more traffic than Android users.

In a banking analogy, market share isn’t based on the number of checks written but by assets under management or number of customers or revenue.
Have you tried Factorio multiplayer? I tried it with some other people and it really is like real life.

Somebody put in an ugly hack to deal with scaling rather than rearchitect? Well, I'd like to fix it but it'll mean downtime that'll interrupt player 2's OKR of getting the rocket control units made.

Plus, we didn't allocate enough space, so I need to talk to player 3 who owns the adjacent area (and whose functionality I don't understand). Player 3 doesn't like the idea of moving or redesigning that area, so I'm going to try asking Player 2 or Player 4 to help me rebuild it in an undeveloped area.

Building the new section while the old section is still running has overdrawn on our electricity capacity, which has been oversubscribed for a while but we just kept accumulating tech debt on electrical with ugly hacks. Which brings me back to step 1.
"AWS Certificate Manager supports a growing number of AWS services. You cannot install your ACM certificate or your private ACM Private CA certificate directly on your AWS based website or application."

Free certificates you can't use on EC2 virtual machines are basically worthless, at least for me.

Stop internalising your 1990s architecture limitations! You shouldn't need to pay for a Layer 7 load balancer for an application that doesn't need it. A 1-core web server VM can easily put out 1-2 Gbps of HTTPS traffic. You don't need SSL offload. A crypto accelerator card is not required. You don't need an appliance to do HTTPS. You can have end-to-end HTTPS without additional infrastructure. Both Windows and Linux can do TLS out-of-the-box. You don't need a vendor to give you special permission to have security. There is no need to pay GoDaddy or DigiCert for a certificate.

The vendors are pulling the wool over your eyes, convincing you that your out-of-date thinking is good and proper, and then charging you for the privilege of having the bare minimum security that should be free as standard.
Attack is a 0.25/100 on the threat scale. If someone has MitM on a server they can do actually bad stuff, not this.
I don't think that a corporation as large (structurally, not financially) as Microsoft can sustainably optimize for anything other than profit. With that and their track record, I find it very hard to believe Microsoft has good intentions.
The worst variation of this is people inventing and subsequently refuting an argument that some group of people allegedly made. It's almost becoming rare for someone to refute a political argument in a direct discussion.
Unless I've misread something, that's not what the paper calls for at all. In fact the paper seems particularly concerned with avoiding excessive centralization of gatekeeping powers.

Decentralizing gatekeeping power is the opposite of censorship.
>>>Some prefectures are nearing 20% vacancy rates, but they're places like… well basically all of Shikoku which is largely mountainous and rural, and has been bleeding population at a rate of 5%/decade since 2000.

That's crazy to me, Tokushima in Shikoku was on my short list of "ideal relocation spots". With just a few hours of scenic driving, you can be in Kochi, Takamatsu, Matsuyama, Okayama, or Wakayama. All with populations of 300,000-700,000 (so decent mid-tier cities). So you could easily geographically distribute 4-5 girlfriends across those towns and combine them with some awesome driving experiences in-between.

Osaka and Kobe aren't much further if you really want a big-city party nightlife occasionally too.

tl;dr: because they can. You’re not paid based on how much value you provide - you’re paid the smallest amount possible to stop you from quitting.
I worked remote for 5 years before COVID. I was somewhere around 10% travel to customer locations, and about 1 week per year to HQ overseas. It was a great balance. I’m not sure how that would scale to an entire company though as one week of travel expenses worked out to around $2000 for domestic travel within the US. Does the cost of carrying office space work out to more or less than $8k per person per year?

COVID style isolated WFH ruined WFH for me and contributed to burnout.
I would say it could be open source (defined as you can see the source code) but it's not free, as in it has restrictions.
The first sentence in the linked article says it’s a gas pipeline, which is very different than an oil pipeline.
Professional gamblers don't play pure random games (like craps or roulette) for a living. They play games where they feel that knowledge/skill have some influence (poker, horse racing).

To take poker, bet sizing is an important factor in play, but it has as much to do with the impression the action makes on other players as the actual underlying odds.
You're right for some oil but there isn't enough rail infrastructure to enable Canadian crude growth without pipelines. Discounting WCS crude diffs to WTI will price out most long term production growth without offsetting higher crude flat price. Demand for oil isn't perfectly inelastic, so higher flat price enables more fuel switching (e.g. electric).
> That’s work they don’t want to do

Well when you are engaging in illegally anti-competitive behavior, you have to take some actions to correct that.

But also, I am sure that other companies would even be willing to put in the effort to jailbreak the phone, in some combined effort, if they knew that Apple wouldn't try to engage in illegal anti-competitive practices to stop it.

Apple can't just break the law like this. I am not sure why anything you are bringing up counters the fact that they are breaking the law, with seriously illegal and anti-competitive practices.

But the jailbreaking solution, where major companies work together, to provide an easy to install solution, that enables other app stores, without help from Apple, would work pretty well, if Apple was not allowed to stop this effort.

If a company like facebook got on board, I am sure that they might be able to convince at least half of all users, to install their solution.
And then I get downvoted and can't read it, thanks anonymous loser!
Feels like the kind of thing where maybe there was an architectural initiative to move from a cumbersome speech data format to something more elegant that required the Neural Engine. Since they already had the old languages in the old format, they kept that data around, but for the new languages opted to only ingest the easier-to-work-with format.

But hey, I’m guessing and you’re Saurik: I have a feeling you know more about this than me and may have considered and dismissed this possibility for a good reason.
My understanding was that you can run non-retail code on xbox the same way you can on an iphone - except:

- xbox always charges you for the privilege while apple has a free developer tier. The free tier is limited (no distribution of apps you wrote, app will time out and have to be reinstalled).

- xbox requires you to put the console in developer mode, which eliminates your ability to play commercial games. Apple does not have this feature (although some commercial apps do attempt to detect things like jailbreaks themselves).

So while the xbox developer mode might give homebrewers more capabilities than a developer account by apple, it doesn't affect revenue sharing for companies who want to make a profit off of their work.

I think you're confusing open-source with visible-source.
Indeed the LT1028 datasheet shows a BF862 JFET at the front end of a photodiode preamp using the LT1018.

The reason why we're at a plateau of op amp noise performance is that the current crop of chips are operating very close to the theoretical limit for both bipolar and JFET input devices.

Ironically I use a LT1028 in a homemade circuit for measuring the noise of things that are more noisy.

This actually happened to one of my former teams. We lost 50% of the team in the space of a few months. As far as I know everyone got 10%+ raises from value-focused employers over the regionally paid company.
Yes, with more "skimming" and leas "understanding". It's been very helpful in illuminating the underlying shapes of the higher level systems; as well as directly applicable in some areas.

Even as an aid to understanding someone else's code that I'm interfacing with, having multiple explanations of the algorithms is often helpful in seeing what happening beyond the particular implementation.

They make great bathroom books, idly opening one at any page is likely to find something interesting and educational.
But then why move deep children to a different page?

I'm just a bit concerned because this is always something I've disliked about e.g. Reddit. It cuts off conversations and arbitrary points, and jumping back and forth between replies and the main thread breaks the flow. On HN I can simply collapse the top reply whenever I've personally become bored of a thread and want to move on.
It really depends on what “at large” you mean and the timing. If we passed a carbon tax and told everyone that oil will never be cheaper than it is now the phase-out would be relatively smooth: people would buy smaller, fuel efficient vehicles and EVs; there’d be more carpooling and combined trips; and people would be quicker to use transit or remote work. The same is true for home heating, various trades using equipment like lawnmowers, etc. — make a clear promise and do so across the board so people have the incentive to make capital investments.

The problem there is if you need to do it quickly: if the SUV/truck trend hadn’t caught on, for example, fleet economy wouldn’t have reversed the improvements we saw in the 80s and early 90s. The longer we wait, the harder that gradual transition will be.
No jailbreaking necessary.

Edit: Can't reply further, but the way of doing this is much the same as installing unsigned apps on an xbox. Using a (free) developer account you can sideload things quite easy using something like https://github.com/ios-control/ios-deploy
Yeah, as a long-term essentially remote employee, IMO you need to have week-long team meetings. Probably quarterly. I hesitate to require weekends. On the other hand, I have traveling about 130 days per year pre-pandemic.
Sure, but it's a divide-and-conquer problem. Academics have to mutually support each other rather than trusting everything to a competitive marketplace (which most of them seem to hate anyway).
States with this amount of obstructive ossification, such as the Byzantine Empire or Austria-Hungary, don't generally stand the test of time. Just before Austria-Hungary's collapse following WWI, the collection of taxes in Dalmatia (now Croatia) cost twice as much as it raised [0]. We still use the word Byzantine today to describe systems that are "complicated, secret and difficult to change" [1].

I don't know what this could mean at the city or county level. Keep an eye out for wayward Sultans and Allied powers?

Just replied to you. I'm in Australia so my timezone is different.
Many years ago, Hollywood and the Music Industry argued in court in the UK that since most UK ISPs have a mechanism to block stuff like child pornography, they ought to be compelled by the court to use this same mechanism to protect the interests of these commercial entities.

The courts agreed. If your ISP has such a capability the court will cheerfully give rights holders authority to demand the ISP blocks stuff that they claim rights over.

The ISPs could choose to just not block stuff. I am looking at Sci-Hub right now, because my UK ISP (Andrews & Arnold) doesn't block anything. From time to time, parliamentarians get vexed about this, but there is a cultural memory in the place that passing laws intended to stop people from saying things doesn't work. Lady Chatterley's Lover was banned, because, the government argued, it was obscene but it turns out that a court didn't buy this argument, and instead Penguin made piles of money because everybody wanted to read the banned book.

But most UK ISPs have decided that it is in their better interests to block things. Their options for attempting to do this have narrowed over time, once upon a time DNS blocking was pretty effective, I assume that by now they're mostly relying on IP blocking, which of course means they run the risk of exciting collateral attacks...
Can you explain how, then?

Edit: So the only way to do it besides jailbreaking is for literally everyone who wants to do it to pay Apple an extra $100 on top of what they already paid for their iDevice. (Sharing will get your certificate revoked.)
Personally my guess is that COVID was, yes, responsible for the vast majority of those deaths.

But I also do think that those cases of overcounting are very likely NOT the only, isolated ones. The dynamics exposed (how hospitalizations were counted, the basic 'with' vs 'of' question), almost certainly apply more broadly.

So, apologies for attempting nuance, but I think COVID can at once be a) a massive pandemic (and tragic for millions), while also being b) somewhat overblown due to unrigorous metrics that in turn feed more sensationalism than otherwise warranted.

Possibly that experience led them to not do it when they had the clean slate of iOS.
They're not using the word "criticism", but they're being very clear about it:

> Throughout the paper, we focus on the problems among conservatives, because these are the problems that are most urgent to American democracy. Our prescriptions are not intended to weaken the Republican Party, but instead to redirect its energies so that its extremists don’t undermine a basic shared understanding of democracy.

That first sentence defines what the authors think is the biggest problem. The second sentence narrows and refines the scope of the problem, it doesn't apologize for the text.
What a callous way to look at the world. Advertising works, thats why people do it. The people influenced by advertising aren't children for having been influenced. I am 100% certain you yourself have been influenced by advertising in just this last week. People just aren't "rational consumers" the way some folks want to believe.

Yes, people are "tricked" by propaganda, and yes, morally we do owe something to those people we successfully "tricked". If we had to pay a market rate for an army, things would go very poorly for us.
