The mobile web interface of Google Maps is hideous and unusable. I had to use it from time to time, when OSM didn't have the data I needed, and I regretted every second of it.
I'm the only person in the UK with my sequence of names, they told me so when I was getting my covid jab and didn't have my NHS number on me so they had to find me by name and match to my photo ID.

French immigrant mother so French first name and middle name, and then an uncommon British (Welsh I think, dad's parents didn't learn English until they got to secondary school) second name.
Ah, I was thinking of what they did for the T2 Macs (change the queue entry size), not the new changes for M1. But yeah, once they're doing proprietary variants of the NVMe spec, they can do whatever they want and probably had a good reason to make this change too.

(For those following: sven has been working on the NVMe stuff for Asahi Linux recently, he knows about this more than me)
Congrats on the launch!

I currently work on projects where HLDs are nothing more than brain dump / thought organising experiments just prior to getting some PoC code bashed out.

I usually go as far as paper -> draw.io which gets wildly out of date within weeks (which is fine for what I do / scale we work).

Had a little play with this, I like it. My gut is that for my use case it could strike that perfect balance of quick "brain dump" while providing me an interface to think in "PoC code" (actions / sending data).

I'm going to have a deeper look at this over the coming days and recreate one of our smaller, simpler systems (with which the "HLD" is already out of date).

Thank you for sharing. And of course the work required would be insane but hooking this up to implementation routes/controllers/services/whatever.
It seems like it isn’t possible to store images in someone’s iCloud Photo Library without their involvement. This would be a major security incident and immediately patched, if someone were able to find a way to do this.
I rate Tyler Cowen's (the author of the linked post) podcast highly because his questions are so incredibly well crafted.

(Incidentally, I just found this article on the blog which suggests a set of guidelines for asking high quality questions. [1])

However, the issue I take with his interviews is that, because the questions are often pre-meditated, the conversation oftentimes fails to flow smoothly as tangential questions follow an interviewee's answer. It sometimes feels more of a Q&A than a conversation.

Audits are a way to earn money. Don't forget to charge by time and effort then charge for time spent for being audited.

Additionally as always with complex regulations and specifications there are ways to comply maliciously. This means comply by letter but charge for bullshit.

Another bonus are hurdles to enter the market for your competitors. If they don't know how to talk with government and comply they can't sell to government. This makes things expensive for government.
I have no idea how it works in other countries, but in Poland there are publicly accessible `.csv` files with data about names and surnames in the PESEL system (the ID assigned to people with Polish citizenship) since its creation. A double surname would be marked as a separate entry. If something like this exists in other countries, checking the rarity of a combination of surnames would be quite easy.
Postgres.app supports multiple versions, and doesn't put random files in /etc/foo - everything is in the right place for a Mac app, i.e. Postgres itself is in /Applications and the database is in ~/Library/Application\ Support/Postgres.
Yes, I knew someone would say this. But in the context of putting together a 60 item grocery order in 30 minutes, it’s easy to miss some data points. I would imagine a large number of people would be occasionally misled by things like this unless they’re paying close attention.
> You know Bush isn't president anymore, right? That hasn't been a a popular (and I would say erroneous, even when it was popular) talking point for more than a decade.

The US performed military operations in eight different countries just during the Obama administration, some of the conflicts where not inherited, like the war in Syria and Yemen.

Those wars were payed by the US citizens regardless of whether they agreed with the war or not.
The neural net is specifically designed to handle such cases. This is covered in Apple’s documentation about this.
I'm probably reading too much into this letter. They said they couldn't act because they were a third party. If you file a complaint, any complaint, they wouldn't be. They didn't need to write a letter for something that's already corrected. I think they did because they want something they can act upon.

It seems like it's spaghetti argument time, ie. throw everything against a wall and see what sticks.

You could argue that the privacy of people could be violated because the "privacy" of an entity that's public shouldn't that public according to facebook. I know, the weak point is that we can't show what privacy aspect is actually violated, but then we could argue this is reason we should investigate this.

If this was the BCP in my country, I could add other arguments about unfair competition and/or monopoly. But I'm not sure this is the purview of the US version of the BCP.

The FTC/BCP needs to follow certain rules, but this doesn't prohibit them from saying: "Hey, we can kinda work with this sort of argument, especially if you reformulate it like this"

This is a major part of the problem with algorithms: what if the issue is "computer says no" and that's the most detailed explanation you can get?
They probably require something like SmartID, which means that you need to have a smartphone that's not rooted. Ie can't even use LineageOS.
Postproduction editing is much more effective for removing verbal tics and the like.

I see your point. There's also postmarketOS; PINE64 PinePhone is listed as one of its primary supported devices[1].

The transmission of vibrations can be reduced by putting the device on a thick rubber mat or similar. It also helps to reduce the sound inside the room, so it's not just for the neighbours' benefit.
Genome sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 shows that it appears to have genetically diverged from a horseshoe bat strain ... several DECADES ago!

The current behavior of this virus is not compatible with a virus that is that old. Unless the appearance of age is due to human modification. Which other genetic clues also seem to indicate.

If lab leak is true - it is inconvenient enough for geopolitical power to refute.
Ask HN: Tool or framework to monitor arbitrary services and protocols?
This considers simple UP/DOWN monitoring by external observer. This is not about agents running on servers.

I am looking for:

* ability to monitor arbitrary online services/protocols including custom ones

* in practice, the call itself should be pluggable to cover niche and custom use cases

* open source and self-hosted

* nice to have built-in support for common use cases like HTTP, HTTPS, SSH monitoring

I guess I'm looking for a user interface and scheduling framework of otherwise mostly custom-made calls.
Surprised not to see more mention of MVHR in the comments. This approach constantly brings in fresh air while retaining heat pretty effectively and also filtering incoming air for particles etc.

I'm just in the process of retrofitting this to my old home (which definitely has elements of 'sick house' syndrome at the moment).

It's not that cheap, and can be tricky to retrofit - usually alongside improving airtightness and insulation - but is one way to dramatically improve air quality in a building, especially over colder months.

I agree, except the programmer (autistic or not) who wants to be left alone to code and play with shiny things is not just a stereotype. Just read through HN any day to see posts about ignoring meetings, marketing, management, business priorities and focusing excessively on languages, tools, the “best” ways to do things, dismissing non-programmers as hopelessly useless (“many managers do not know what they’re doing.”)

As a freelancer I have to get to know the business my customers are in, I can’t just focus on purely technical things most of the time. Many times I have described my work to other programmers and heard how they want to be left alone to code. I take over legacy software and failed projects for a living. The two main reasons in my experience for software dev project failure are (a) developers did not bother to gather and understand requirements but rushed to start coding, and (b) poor communication with the customer and stakeholders. Those faults may come from arrogance or inexperience, or both.
Like always with Apple. But at least they’re saying they are doing it and supposedly detailing how.

Regarding the amount of secrecy on the how, it’s the way they do everything.

As for "sharing" the database of "forbidden content", freely or not, that would be sharing child pornography.
But you don't take your clothes off in places with cctv, because you know that you don't want to be recorded doing that.

People are aware where and how they are recorded.

Phones are (well.. were) private, people take nudes, do naked video calls and all the other related stuff, because they trust that there is only one other person watching this, and they usually trust that person.

Now, we're one step away from trump-beats-cnn-gif-meme getting into the hash database to flag all the trump supporters. When the next wikileaks happens, and they can track who had the documents/photos/videos first, possibly even before they got leaked. Someone (4chan,...) can email you photos an videos that are of something random, but crafted in a way to create a false positive (a bit slower form of swatting).

This is basically setting up cctv in your bedroom, saying it's there "to protect the children" and trusting some stupid algorithm to look at you.

I live in a small non wealthy town in the UK, it's five miles across and everything is accessible without cars.

My neighbor has five to seven cars on their driveway. To let others out they start them all and play musical cars. Two of them drive to jobs less than two miles away. They use them for practically every trip over 200 metres. Their extended family visit every weekend, in separate cars and all live within five miles.

My other neighbors have three cars for two people, including a pickup truck. Again, they drive literally everywhere. Even walking distance.

Many of the young people here drive terrible modded cars up and down all day for no actual purpose than vanity.

If you tried to have to have a conversation with these people about their car use, they would claim it's their right and that they "pay for it". Yet what they pay is < 10% of the damage they cause.

Obviously, if you are remote, or have a disability or need to carry a heavy load you should probably use a car.

But many people think it's literally their God given right to drive a dangerous metal box, badly, burning irreplaceable oil, spraying pollution, noise pollution and brake dust literally straight into your home.

Every single car journal under 10 miles should be excessively taxed, with extreme taxes for trips under three miles. You should literally be forced to think twice, then twice again.

All of these people are literally saying: "Fuck other people's health, their sanity, their happiness, their time, their environment, the environment as a whole. Me drive metal box"

The entitlement of drivers is literally staggering.

It's a shame we learn to appreciate talking to strangers only around the middle age. In ages when it would be the most useful and fruitful - 20s, early 30s many fall into the "no bullshit" attitude, feel rebelious superiority, socialize only within cliques. As a single man I might chat with women in their 40s and older but that's too late (for them) to create family with children.
AFAIK HILTSWAL is not a thing but IMHO it should be.
Not very long ago we would have said, "an attacker who has a way to remotely control someone's iPhone without their consent simply by sending a text message... It's an interesting idea but how is it possible?" Then we learned about NSO Pegasus and that it was not only possible, but was already being done to the phones of unsuspecting victims across the world.
It’s generally considered polite to refer To people the way they want to be referred to. It’s relevant.
Wow. So you're a moron. Doesn't even have to be random people. I don't want any of my friends or family dying from a currently preventable cause.

The problem with you "living however you want" is that it can impact other people...living. Every person the virus infects is a new chance for it to mutate and potentially get worse. We've already seen that happen once with the delta variant. You have an easy way to prevent deaths and you won't because?

Would you let someone "live their life" running around stabbing people? Some people might just get a nick, some could die, what does it matter?
I am trying to say that over eagerness in searching for a crime where there is none could cause more damage than it is worth. Those committing the crimes would quickly switch to other methods, but those innocent would be caught by accident.

I am also not saying that such people should be left free and unpunished, but that the method proposed could cause far more bad than good, in my humble opinion of course.

A legal system of some kind is obviously necessary, but using argument of thinking about `insert a group of people you should care about` can easily lead to abuse of the established laws.
The US constitution has twenty seven amendments, some rather substantial.

I think that the problem of Weimar Germany was not in the unchecked circulation of Völkischer Beobachter or whatever. The problem was that the Nazi propaganda fell on intently listening ears, and that the republic's administration wasn't able to fight back the Hitler's power plays. BTW one of the first things Hitler did when he seized power was curbing the "anti-German" public speech, along with political activity. I don't think it's a coincidence.

I see that Germany has had an enormous trauma. I understand the immediate post-war necessity of communication control. But, with all due respect, I think that the current limitations do a disservice to the German democracy, both by creating the notion of thoughtcrime and forbidden speech at all, and by hiding the real amount of problems from the society, which could otherwise more adequately react and help heal them.

> I wonder where you are from, your attitude would not fly here in the Netherlands.

Totally irrelevant. But shows that you seem to put people in boxes.

> Likewise, I may completely fail to integrate into your culture.

Why did you extrapolate? I am talking about myself, not about my nations culture.

> Do you realize that compared to you probably many people do “overthink” things?

Yes, I realize. I am not in illusion. Yet, that is their problem really. Like I said, my goal in life is NOT to promote Mickey Mouse club.

> Or do you want to also claim that your amount of thinking is the exact right amount?

Again, you extrapolate, typical for people that suffer from "hurt feelings" problem regarding minor things. I was talking about very specific thing and you introduced entire universe into it. I call this phenomena "random drama". People like you are exactly the type I don't want to work with based on this very short conversation, but I am open minded in case you have a bad day or something :)

Whoever thinks Facebook or any other social network will change after this is just as naive as to thinking that they own their accounts on the platform. You do not.

They will point you to their 'guidelines' and will suspend you if you trip over their automated account suspension system.

You're free to criticise them, write letters to them, but in the end they will never change.
Thanks a lot for the kind words!

I do plan on continuing, I have many good ideas to improve the project even further. I want to try some new unique UX features for the dashboard UI to make data filtering and visualisation even easier.

@albinowax_, can you say anything more about how widely you have investigated the prevalence of the "H2.X via Request Splitting" vulnerability?

Although all of your attack vectors are fascinating, this seems to be the one which is particularly terrifying. It seems like one single request can basically mess up user authentication across an entire website, and for every active user, until the server becomes resynchronized somehow. If I were running a large public-facing site or application, checking for this vulnerability would be my #1 priority this morning.
Yeah it's on my list to watch, thanks.
Obviously I can't speak for every country and every bank, but at least in two countries and with two banks they are trying really hard to get me off the hardware tokens and onto mobile phones.

They have done all kinds of dark patterns, for example they update the website (which eventually becomes a mandatory update), but that requires relinquishing the hardware token, or they update their mobile app, and if you even try to log-in into the new app they automatically cancel your token, etc.

When my token's battery died, they didn't want to give me a new one. They said they don't offer the service anymore. Only after escalating N times and explaining that I need a hardware token because their SMS-based 2FA didn't work internationally they gave me a new token. Suddenly it wasn't discontinued anymore. Now they moved off SMS-based 2FA to some mobile app, so I suspect next time I need a token I won't be able to get it.

Make no mistake, enjoy your TAN generator while you can, because you will not be able to enjoy it for long.

In the country I live in right now, the only way to get a proof for your COVID-19 vaccination is if you "voluntarily" enroll into some phone-based authentication scheme with your government that requires a modern, non-jailbroken iOS or Android device.
It is a bit, sure. I suppose it's a variation on Churchill's comment along the lines that all political careers end in failure.

I suppose the point is there are many revolutionaries that gained power through the gun but vanishingly few of those that lost it through the ballot box, or even risked doing so.

Apple really have always thought different and sought revolutionary change. The technology industry and press in general were predicting their imminent demise and the impossibility of their business model continuously since the 70s. Their unofficial motto is "Apple, proudly going out of business since 1976".

The flip side of that is to keep going in the face of such persistent skepticism takes enormous discipline and confidence. When you win, that just reinforces that confidence that you are right. This makes it very difficult to see the flaws in your own reasoning or accept it when you are wrong. Hence the "My way or the highway" attitude.
Iirc Canada doesn’t actually have a private system, does it?

Israel has an excellent, though very unpleasant, free public system; and also a parallel private system that’s as expensive as the US (but that has a very distinct use profile because of the existence of the public system).

You’ll almost always get to see an ER doctor within a couple of hours in the public system, and a junior specialist for a non-emergency within a couple of weeks, but if you want the real expert specialist, you’ll wait 6 months in the public system, or 2 weeks if you go private.

Time constants from the center / Tel Aviv area. I heard they are worse the farther away you are - but then, 90% of the population is within a 2 hour drive of Tel Aviv, and the rest are less than 4 hours drive or 40 minute flight.
I think I'm misreading your argument because it seems to me like you're saying: "There are rules and if I don't publicly flaunt those rules like I did in the past, everything is ok?"

Don't you understand that the argument: "You're only guilty if you get caught" doesn't really resonate with most of the public? Whether or not FB talks to the FTC about certain issues has nothing to do with them breaking rules. This is not how the law works.

For example, I could call the police and inform them I was breaking into a house. I would probably get stopped and get arrested. The second time, I think to not inform the police about me breaking into a house. Does not informing the police mean I wouldn't be committing a crime? No, it doesn't.

I'm open to a discussion if you think the rules are too strict.

> The stereotype of the autistic programmer who is only interested in shiny gadgets and tech needs to die.

The stereotype has been kicked to death, dismembered, burned, rebuilt as an effigy and burned again throughout the years.

The stereotype of the evil and incompetent manager who is only interested in ruining the lives of their underlings, who would solve the world's problems if only left alone to do their jobs, is still going strong.
