Agree with this.

Back in ~2007 when the exchange rate was ~$2 London salaries seemed competitive. I remember travelling to the US and everything seemed cheap.

Hamas is already doing this: https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidhambling/2021/05/14/hamas-...

I'm only surprised we're not seeing more of this from domestic terrorist groups. Anyone with minimal technical skill could probably order a hobbyist drone, attach something nasty, and figure out how to remotely detonate it with a phone.

Also, I suspect that arguing cops shouldn't be able to use armed robots for extreme situations like hostage standoffs—when they already use robots for bomb disposal and reconnaissance, to say nothing of long-standing measures like deploying snipers on rooftops—is going to be a tough case to make. Might have more success trying to limit the situations where they can use armed robots—say, a hostage situation or ongoing terror attack, rather than shadowing a protest.

Is it wrong to be opinionated? Feser quickly remarks on a problem of math: some mathematical constructs reflect the system of math more than reality. If your philosophy never touches the political, the reality, aren’t you merely creating a system of reasoning for its own sake?

The Apple security feature I hate the most is notarization. I get the point of it, but Apple’s execution of it is poor. Sometimes it takes 10+ mins to notarize an app and the service regularly returns random failures.

My software has a feature where you can package certain files into a basic no-frills installer. This is a minor feature that pre-dates notarization in a much bigger suite of tools and it causes a lot of issues because users contact tech support every time Apple’s notarization service goes down (which is often). At this point I’m considering just removing the whole feature from the suite.

Have you checked the other articles on the website ? Most are like that, nothing prevents journalists from from writing about minor topics
RPN is still being used, and it really should be taught in schools, including at the elementary levels. It makes more sense than traditional calculator entry. Once you learn it, you never go back.

The reason that RPN is used is because it reduces errors with calculation, although it can be fewer keystrokes. It certainly is more concise. It also makes more sense (logically) when entering numerical data. It is just like how you would write 128 + 256 on the whiteboard. On a whiteboard you would write a 128 and then a 256 on the row below it then a + (on the left hand side). In RPN it would be 128 ENTER 256 +.

Just FYI: RPN operates using stacks. Because of the way things are displayed on stacks, it helps prevent entry errors, as it is easier to decode and review.

On an RPN calcultor: if you put in 128 and press ENTER, it goes to the highest empty stack. The ENTER means that nothing else can be entered into the stack unless an operand meant for 2 stacks is used (+, -, *, /, etc.).

(Stack) 1: 128

(Stack) 2: (null--nothing here)

(Stack) 3: (null--nothing here)

When you press 256 the result looks like this in an RPN calculator.

(Stack) 1: 128

(Stack) 2: 256

(Stack) 3: (null--nothing here)

When you press + in the above state, Stack 1 is added to Stack 2, and Stack 2 becomes null (empty)

(Stack) 1: 384

(Stack) 2: (null--nothing here)

(Stack) 3: (null--nothing here)
What’s the general thinking on how this will go? I’m gravely worried people will only see this poor beautiful woman, taken advantage of by the men in her life, and she will get away completely free.

Oh let me clear that up for you.

This article and this comment discussion assumes a certain familiarity with computers and system administration, which, to ask a question like that, you must not have.

So a bash script is this thing that's very functional, flexible, legible, can be written quickly and easily, can be maintained and updated quickly and easily, and is even portable across platforms, and it gives you all that without a teetering fragile tower of library and framework dependencies that most other automation systems rely on. Every system already has bash or some equivalent Bourne shell for free.

Assembly has none of those qualities.

Are there any other mysteries we can clear up? I mean we all had to start somewhere and "there are no stupid questions" right?
Apple did a talk recently about how notarization will be easier with MacOS 12. Might help.

Could obsolete Bitcoin ASICs be used to mount any sort of attack on SHA-256? There’s a huge, huge amount of SHA-256 going on in Bitcoin at the moment - does the ASIC become useless once it is no longer used for Bitcoin, or could it be made to compute SHA-256 for some other nefarious purpose?

No, because of activation lock. Setup doesn’t differentiate whether it’s been wiped or not, and activation lock would be weak if a simple wipe could defeat it.

They support white-labelling and embedding in web apps.

L6 at FAANG, never went to college and numerous other engineers at my level and across the company haven’t either. Also never spent a penny on health care in the US. Fully covered with Kaiser and company plan I am in 30’s, so maybe due to few issues, but health coverage is good.

Also, worked in London and TC of £500k+ was possible for an L6 after 4 years of refreshers and performance multiplier. Knew a few peers on packages closer to $1MM. Definitely possible, but maybe this is a small select group. FAANG are generally growing in London though. Easier to find talent than in the US right now.

Fix: Critical Process Died Error in Windows 10/11 (5 Best Ways)
Stocks are only moderately backed by business activity. Much of the short and medium term price action you’ll see other than general large scale long term trends is heavily manipulated. And naked short selling exists on a disgustingly wide scale. Imagine thinking that reasonable market pricing can exist in a situation where shares can be fabricated at will.

To be objective, crypto is largely treated by most people as a speculative asset today and its price action is also heavily manipulated. The one big difference is that at least you can mathematically verify how many units of crypto exist and there’s some measure of transparency that doesn’t exist in the stock market.

Despite centuries of supposed regulation and improvements the stock market is a crooked system where you don’t even have a clear picture of how many real shares are even floating about the marketplace. Think about that for a bit and compare that situation to crypto where any transaction can be verified.

But in general I’d argue that crypto is still so new that even smart people don’t really have an understanding of what it is yet. It’s not a speculative currency or ponzu scheme, at its core it’s a technology platform with many attributes that other systems devised by humans don’t yet have such as being trustless which is going to allow all kinds of new and previously impossible technology systems to exist.

I'm glad that was helpful. I'm in a similar boat of just being interested in this for fun. I have a little more of the math and physics background for it, but it's pretty rusty and I don't need it to understand even most of the interesting papers.

You probably want to understand three areas in more detail than you'll get from the wikipedia links I sent:
1) cosmology (people gave several good recommendations already)
2) wrap your head around the weirdness of quantum physics. I really enjoyed Six Impossible Things by John Gribbin as a good intro to different equivalent ways of conceptualizing quantum physics. It's not heavy on math and you can do it as an audiobook without missing anything.
3) Standard Model of forces/particles. It's really helpful to do this as a part of a book or long article instead of just wikipedia. Some of the recommendations in #1 will cover this. I don't have any recent recommendations to give there, but I'm sure there's lots out there.

Here are few recent articles and papers that are good for jumping in to some recent news:

I know it's not a foolproof solution but perhaps there should be a greater focus on ethics in Computer Science curricula? The Israeli developers who wrote this software may not even have been exposed to the moral and ethical questions writing such software ought to raise. Perhaps there should be trade associations for developers that calls out software companies that writes immoral software?

With great power comes great responsibility, and if you knowingly use your great power to write this kind of software you are a terrible person, in my opinion.

Well, in Apple’s defense, backporting old versions of MacOS makes no sense and would cause developers much headache, Linux already boots to a GUI on the M1 Mac mini (just no HW acceleration), and the list of available operating systems will grow each year there is a MacOS release. Just like you can’t run MacOS 10.6 Snow Leopard on the MacBook you restored.

> Authoritarians gonna make up their own authority regardless.

I think they’ll try to, but not always succeed. They will definitely use and abuse any existing powers.

So I think it’s logically unsound, and quite sad to me, to argue that it’s pointless to resist allowing powers that can be exploited because authoritarians will do it anyway.
> Oh let me clear that up for you.

I'm surprised at how big a jackass a single person can appear in such a concise response.

Every time a new technology shows up, there are lots of "Why not just use < insert old technology >?" The answer is obvious, and can be most highlighted by leaning harder into the absurdity of "Why not just use < insert old technology>?", which is, why does any technology exist beyond Assembly if all that's old is good enough?

But, given you can't behave like a grown up, I'd rather not continue this comment tree.

And yet Apple is cooperating with authoritarian governments[1].

For example, in Myanmar[2]:

> Most recently, there was a dispute with ProtonVPN (the company that also makes ProtonMail) over an update for its app in the App Store. Proton Technologies claimed that Apple was intentionally blocking the update amid the ongoing crackdown in Myanmar.

And in China[2]:

> "China appears to have received help on Saturday from an unlikely source in its fight against tools that help users evade its Great Firewall of internet censorship: Apple."

> "The Republic of China flag emoji has disappeared from Apple iPhone’s keyboard for Hong Kong and Macau users. The change happened for users who updated their phones to the latest operating system."

> September 2019 — Apple adopts a “SIM canary”. If you insert a Chinese carrier SIM, apps like TikTok & Apple News no longer function.

> May 2021 — Censorship, Surveillance and Profits: A Hard Bargain for Apple in China

And in Russia[2]:

> October 2020 — Apple forced Telegram to close channels run by Belarus protestors

And in Pakistan[2]:

> February 2021 — Apple Removes Apps for Pakistani Government

There are about a dozen more examples than those in this article here[2]. Here's its conclusion:

> So what does any of this have to do with app developers? Why should we care? When it comes to the iOS App Store, Apple controls where we are allowed to distribute our apps. More importantly, Apple has the unilateral power remove our apps from any App Store region at any time to nurture its relationship with whatever unsavory government it is interested in pleasing in order to pursue its political motives or financial objectives.

> Apple’s centralized power over app distribution combined with its willingness to surrender to political pressures is incredibly concerning as ostensibly “democratic” governments across the globe (including the United Sates!) increasingly exhibit far-right, fascist behavior and implement fascist policies.

> which is certainly bad, but not quite as bad as being dead.

This sort of reductionist argument doesn't work. If you start from the premise "any chance of dying is not worth it", then you won't do much of anything. Driving to the store could kill you, so now you can't go to the store?

You have to look at probability when assessing risk. Is a 0.0000001% reduction in your risk of death worth sacrificing all your personal freedom? I think most people would say no.
My device is an iPhone 6S Plus. I’m on iOS 14.4.2. I see “white on white” text in my first text entry box to create a new checklist, and also when viewing the items inside a checklist. The items in a checklist become visible as white text upon gray background only after I mark those items “completed” (ie strikethrough).

No bots, no channels, no hiding your phone number, no polls, limited permission system in groups,... i could continue for 20 minutes. But what is most infuriating to me is the backup system. It never works and you can only store it in iCloud/Google Drive.
