You can access and download apps from Google Play Store with Aurora Store.

> Google is doing their level best to make it harder to get APKs any other way. You used to be able to download them from the store; no longer possible.

They are making it easier with Android 12 by letting third-party stores do automatic updates without user interaction, not harder.

It has always been the case that OEMs need to bundle Play Services in the OS and that you need an account to access Google Play. Some OEMs like Samsung and Huawei bundle their own store, "the store" isn't a thing. Raccoon, Yalp Store, Aurora Store, etc. to access Google Play have always existed too.

> They've announced some other package format, support for which I assume won't be released to AOSP.

It's not a new format, it's open source and Aurora Store and other stuff supports it just fine. It's not locked to Google Play.
Yes, unfortunately that seems to be the world we live in.

I'd like some examples.

Note that information on the Cold War with the CCP has been suppressed for decades.

You may not know that the CCP asked (demanded) Russia to attack the US instead of removing its nuclear weapons from Cuba, or that Russia planned to nuke Beijing over a border conflict in 1969, but the US asked them to stop.

Or that the CCP has border conflicts with every single one of its neighbors today. Since the conflict is over water, I can guarantee war within 5 years.
Here in Germany, liability limits are usually much higher. 100 million isn't unheard of. The reason certainly is partly advertising, but also because some freak accidents have caused these amounts of costs. A few millions are not uncommon for bad accidents where for example semis with delicate load are involved.

The most severe damage caused so far in a single car accident in Germany is about 30 Million €: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiehltal_bridge

Fortunately, they were finally able to repair the bridge and didn't have to completely rebuild it, which would have been vastly more expensive.

Tips on Writing a Philosophy Paper (2013)
I find that the brain is just optimized to remember language and language-like constructs. It's not a trick; you've sunk decades into training your brain to do it. Words, phrases, 6/7 digit numbers like phone numbers, etc. Being able to pronounce them out loud or internally is a huge part of it. So it's just easier to remember the same amount of entropy with such a secret compared with other methods.

Diceware is the older brother of this method:

What is your criticism of LaTeX?

I am a research mathematician, and I and essentially all my colleagues are LaTeX users. To me it feels like the correct tool for the job; the only widespread criticism I've heard is that it doesn't produce documents accessible to the blind. (And I've heard that work on this is in process.)

I tend to be unsympathetic to criticism that a tool is "outdated"; if a tool is right for the job, why change it? But I want to keep an open mind -- what would you like to see in LaTeX's place?
Highly relevant username.
I've worked in IT for a decade and a half, and I just don't think there's the same room for the stereotypical "not a people" person, as there used to be.

As awareness and importance of the field has grown, it has become a lot more diverse and involves a lot more interaction with other people.

For better or worse, you can't just hide in your safe corner and quietly build stuff anymore, you have to interact with people and accept having the lights shine on you from time to time.

Just for an overview of my workplace, I think we've got maybe 7 or 8 nationalities, one person is a dance instructor, one is an almost stereotypical handsome player who woos all the girls at parties, one plays D&D with his kids, one is a weightlifter, one competes in bicycle races on a high level. It's still mostly male, but there are more and more women in IT now.

Common to all of them - no matter their other traits - is that they're all extremely inquisitive and curious and have a great desire to learn, and I think that's the most important factor.
Not only that. He didn't ask for permission and acted fast. I don't know where you live but I'm pretty sure I would be excused if I had punched him, these are not safe lands. We didn't exchange a few words, or even eyesights - I was not aware he was approaching until he was. Also this particular button hurts by adam's apple so this is stupid as fuck as it is hidden all times by the knot. How you dress has nothing to do with integrity - that's a stupid idea.
Could somebody go to

to see what 2025 might look like?

(use „the new Clinton administration“ and „images of guns“ if you are conservative)
But that isn't the case. The Jaguar in the article is undoubtedly expensive, but a Tesla Model 3 currently starts in Germany at €35k. Basically the same price as comparable ICE vehicles. And that is not even counting in the savings on operating the car.
I agree with you, but if you'd take the time to read my post you would see that I am arguing that it's not good even by their own claims!

They talk a lot about complex crypto to protect privacy but the primary thing it's doing is hiding what apple is matching against, which shields them against accountability.

I fully agree that even if the behavior were currently threading the needle it would still be an extremely bad move.

I think it goes something like

1: We made something that we think is good, but we don‘t know if others will and how they will use it. We tested it well in one scenario but not much else.

2. Now we actually understand how people use this and why they like it. We have collected all of their biggest problems and it‘s time to fix them.

3. Everyone loves our thing and it‘s very productive for them. That must mean we‘re geniuses. Let‘s fuck around and change the world.

4, 5, 6… Both we and our users understand that sometimes we need to make a breaking change. They already went through the terrible 2->3 migration so every other upgrade will be fine by comparison.

In an enterprise context there are probably enough layers that keep everyone in check so the step 3 where you run wild with your ideas never happens.
If you want a model for similar things, social clubs were very popular from the 50s up until the 80s and 90s. Rotary, elks, etc.

I suspect when millenials start to age they will come back, minus the culty parts.

There’s also expat and reiree communities where such things occur. College towns frequently will have public meetings or lectures.
Be kind[1]. Not everyone will have a life experience or knowledge similar to yours. Someone looking to fill the gaps in their knowledge in good faith should be encouraged, not ridiculed.

I used a 5620 briefly in ucl-cs in the 80s. The depraz took a bit of getting used to. TBH if you'd told me it was going to be an icon 35 years later I'd have laughed. The Sun and Decstation mice were easier to comprehend.

I will say that it was remarkably accurate. Somehow I remember it being very good at its positioning. But the 5620 was mainly being used for text so pointing accuracy may have been moot.

I remember it doing sort of x/y axis lines like the graticule in a gunsight to mark its point.

I also remember 4 buttons of different colours.

The article posted, as well as many others we've seen recently, demonstrate that collisions are possible, and most likely inevitable with the number of photos to be scanned for iCloud, and Apple recognizes this themselves.

It doesn't necessarily mean that all flagged photos would be of explicit content, but even if it's not, is Apple telling us that we should have no expectation of privacy for any photos uploaded to iCloud, after running so many marketing campaigns on privacy? The on-device scanning is also under the guise of privacy too, so they wouldn't have to decrypt the photos on their iCloud servers with the keys they hold (and also save some processing power, maybe).
Linus Tech Tips: I tried Steam Deck early and it's AWESOME
Bit confused here.

My statement was to clarify incorrect statements of the issue. Someone was worried about incorrect DoBs entered by jilted lovers would get people flagged.

I just outlined what the actual process is. I feel that discussing the actual problem leads to better solutions and discussions.

Since this topic attracts strong viewpoints, I was as brief as possible to reduce any potential target area, and even left a line supporting the slippery slope argument.

If this was not conveyed, please let me know.

Matter of fact, your response pointing out the false positive issues is a win in my book! Its better than what the parent discussion was about.

But what I am truly perplexed by, is when you talk about "firs they came..." and "we're not biting".

Who is we, and why wouldn't YOU agree with a position supporting a slippery slope argument?

You seem to disagree with the actions being telegraphed by Apple.

Could you clarify what you mean?
People and their arguments pushing for less regulation still surprise me. It's a bad idea yet someone will rise from the depths to argue why it isn't.

What doesn't surprise me is there's always someone with a counter argument no matter how illogical it is. The world's a big place.
But you don't need an hour pitstop. Teslas usually stop for 20-30 minutes. The new Ioniq 5 even claims 18 minutes to go to 80% charge.

I thought his statement that all requirements should have a name assigned to them was very good as well.
I completed my move to the Pinephone and formatted my iPhone over this. I'm probably not alone.

At this point, the COVID vaccines seem to barely have majority support on HN, and “cancel culture” would win any survey on our times’ top problems, beating “women inventing stories of rape’ and “the black guy mentioning something borderline political at work, just because he’s paid 5/8th as much as others”.

An inability to follow even the most elementary argument from statistics isn’t really surprising. Although I can’t quite say if it’s actual inability, or follows from the fact that it supports the wrong outcome.
You can click share on a Youtube video on Firefox and you'll get the option to send it to New Pipe. My only gripe with New Pipe is that it breaks some times and it doesn't have Youtube's recommendations.
Thanks for your reply - I meant that police caught criminals before the internet (I do not know the effectiveness and am unknowledgeable on this subject generally), however they did that, getting out there speaking to suspects and victims, and investigating with evidence I would guess

The tools are already in place for misuse. iPhones autoupdate by default, so Apple can push new malicious privacy-invading software to your device at any time without your intervention.

Each update, even if done manually, re-enables autoupdate, requiring that you go turn it off.

Apple is really into being able to run whatever code they want on your device without your intervention.
This has nothing to do with America.
I don't think police has been defunded more than the funds have been put into unnecessary things like surplus military gear, settlements to defend the vast minority of bad cops, etc. That takes the oxygen out of everything including what most people consider fair police work.

> I think the problem with your response is that you aren't proposing anything better.

That's because I honestly can't think of anything better. However that doesn't make my response invalid.

> The majority just sits around waiting for something to happen and for some miracle to happen; for a leader to show up, galvanize the masses to change their ways and save the day. At the same time you don't believe that will ever happen, so you stay complacent, non-active and immobile (physically and mentally).

I think the issue is more that most people are too busy with their own lives to give a crap about a theoretical problem that doesn't visibly and directly affect them. We've head leaders before and it didn't change people's attitudes. If Snowden couldn't influence people's behaviours then what chance does a few random posts on a niche message board have?

> Stop preaching futility and do something positive. Try and be the positive change you want to see. Just because you've given up doesn't mean you have to try and convince somebody else to give up. You're part of the problem.

That's a bit harsh. I'm just as free to post my views are you are to post yours. And if you can't be arsed to get off your seat and campaign for real change then you're in no position to delegate that responsibility onto me.

Also I think you misunderstand the point of my post. I'm not trying to talk people out of action. In fact I've explicitly stated otherwise when I said "It's good that you're principled enough" and "I'm not suggesting that you shouldn't follow through with your threat". I'm just expressing my expectations about the futility of it all. A futile action can still give ourselves comfort that we've done the right thing even if we know it will make no wider change: like how I always vote in each election despite my constituency being so overwhelmingly in favour of the opposition that my vote is literally meaningless.

If yourself switching manufacturer brings yourself comfort that you've done the right thing then that's reason enough to change. But the pragmatic truth of the matter is that it'll take more than that to influence a company as large and successful as Apple.
This is so tragic, and just wrong. Actively changing scientist's recommendations and assessments because a company "balked" at the very standards and methods that are designed to keep it and its environment safe? This is the very reason the EPA was created to begin with, so this kind of stuff does not happen. That's so fucking sad that it's not only happening on their watch, but from inside the EPA itself. Such a tragedy...And to the commenter who said it had to do with Trump, no this had nothing to do with Trump. While Trump did make many unusual, business-focused appointees for department heads, the issue of corruption is as old as human institutions themselves. I'd only hoped the robust institutions in the states wouldn't so blatantly fall prey to this kind of bogus horseshit. Trying to shift the convo to Trump or suggest this is actually orange man bad's fault is actively harmful to a fruitful discussion about this, because it provides active cover for the real perpetrators. But sure, keeping pointing the finger of blame at Trump for everything while the real perps slip right through your other fingers, chump.

Oh god have mercy on whatever has happened to these people…
I used to think that privacy arguments are ok in principle but we aren’t really loosing much by sharing some personal data with Apple or Google’s algorithms. In return we got so much convenience, software and products that worked well with each other and even shopping recommendations that were great.

But with this move, they have just crossed a huge threshold. Now it’s clear that we are hurtling into a truly dystopian future where our personal thoughts and experiences are simply not our own. America at least seems to be heading towards some form of corporate fascism that may not be dominated by an individual or a group, but will eventually lead to social ossification and societal decay by outlawing dissent.

To introduce this tech under the disguise of fighting child abuse is just amazing. This will eventually lead to identification of individuals who for example may hold sympathetic views for political views that are currently out of favour.

At some point you have to swallow the inconveniences outside the garden and recognise what this is leading to.
The real problem is late stage capitalism. The fact that a private company is too "big" and too powerful to be regulated by a single nation or even a coalition of nations is a big part of the problem. At the same time, changes in laws, constitutions and regulations take too long so they can't adapt quickly enough to edge cases. And even then, these companies have too much power and money, so they can do lobbying and so on. I see Apple as a particularly dangerous example, because they also have the "vote of the people". They are marketing wise on a level where they have an invincible reputation. People see the brand but almost no longer realize that this is a private company whose main goal is to generate profits.

It might sound naive or obvious but as we go on this will only continue and there will be less and less ethical accountability.
Geez, you'd think there were no alternatives to continuing to burn fossil fuels or something ?
Except for your HN account, unfortunately.
It varies from country to country. If your grid is at the brink of collapse, it might be a challenge.

Here in Germany, even changing all cars to electric would increase the total electricity consumption by less than 20%, not counting in the elektricity savings by no longer providing gasoline. This would probably doable by todays grid and the transition to electric cars will take 15 years even in the best circumstances, just by comparing the 45 million cars owned with the 3 million cars sold every year. Enough time to do adjustments to the grid where needed.

One also needs to consider how much electric cars can be beneficial for the grid. With charging of parked cars remotely controlled, they can help with stabilizing the grid.

An electric car in Germany uses about 8kWh/day - that is probably less that the AC unit now use in Greece. And if Greece doesn't have ample solar yet, it would be about time to change that urgently.

With multiple drivers, sure, why not drive non-stop? My brother and his family drove across Canada a year or two ago to visit family; with kids, flying would have been exorbitantly expensive ($1000 per person) and he only had so much time off of work, so him and his wife made the 4000 km trip in less than 40 hours. And the same on the way back.

Super interesting. One point about living standards: at this point the world is in the Malthusian equilibrium, so living standards are rather decoupled from technology. (Whenever technology raises your living standards, you have more children, and average GDP per head returns to subsistence level.)

Malthus has had a big comeback in the theory of economic growth over the past couple of decades.
