Looks a bit like they selected a name hinting to a connection with a world class university.
More than that: Apple already designed and partially implemented such a "trust circles" system.

Apple legal killed the feature, because of pressure from the US government.

They also run iCloud (mostly not e2e) on CCP-controlled servers for users in China.

They can decrypt ~100% of iMessages in real-time due to the way iCloud Backup (on by default, not e2e) escrows iMessage sync keys.

Apple does not protect your mprivacy from Apple, or, by extension, the governments that ultimately exert control over Apple: China and the USA.
Holy hell. "Human Resources" implied that as an employee, you're a resource to be exploited - used up and discarded. "Human Capital" implies your employer owns you.
Because I consider my time more valuable than the cost of the ecosystem. I have no interest to tweak anything, I use the computer to earn my paycheck and constant tinkering and tweaking is not part of it. Open source and free software is free only if you do not value your time enough.
In Québec we commonly use bug/bogue, but might pick a confusing French word in official communications, as is tradition.
Cheat engine has one thing going for it: ready made scripts for many games that automatically show many important values for you. Conqueror doesn't have that.

Climate drift is what's happening.
> I'd side with Apple on this one, their lightning ports seem to be far more durable than USB-C ports.

You know that they ship USB-C ports on their laptops right?
That's because you probably don't live in western Europe.

Over here, when a company would do that and use it against me, I would sue them for privacy breach. Employee rights are very well protected in western Europe.
You don't know what's in it, but you do know it's full of false positives? I wonder, do you know how many of those false positives are flagged as A1?
> Why do people pay the premium for this UI Apple forces you to use?

Because we like it. Why does that make you so upset?

You could have spent the 10 minutes you spent typing that rant out in being productive with whatever you have instead of raging about my purchases with my money.
As per what they are saying the algorithm does not ask the fbi anything. It looks for matches independently and only reports things with a fairly high bar. Not defending what they are doing though.
The market is not normal because countries have invested massive sums of money into these companies without acquiring shares in return, so I just hope they have negotiated other terms to get the vaccines at fair prices.
The reality is there is such a quantity of Apple Lightning cables and accessories that implementing the law would create the very problem it's trying to resolve (an entire pile of e-waste).

Would make more sense to me to legislate that if they ever change from lightning it has to be to USB-C and to move all the USB bricks to USB-C on that end.
You had to check for Windows ME as well so couldn't limit to the first digit.
Micro 3.0 is almost never going to be a problem because normal micro cables fit.

And realistically, how many had mini? The very first nexus had micro. The Droid had micro. LG's first one had micro. I see HTC had a couple nonstandard quasi-mini models before moving to micro?
I have a _huge_ problem where if I can endlessly tweak something, I will waste hours doing so. I used to do the same with my Android devices, flashing newer nightly rom builds every night for cyanogen. My macOS/iOS devices "just work" and I have very few gripes with their chosen defaults.
The Secret Language of Cults
I've only ever heard "bug" and "débuger", and only saw "bogue" in some publication that would also use "courriel" and the likes. Maybe this has to do with a younger generation? Quebec will probably have a bias for "bogue", as always, but in France I'd say most people use "bug".
No. The current government roadmap is to remove lockdown restrictions at various vaccination levels.

The current vaccination rate is very low due to a bungled vaccine rollout. This is changing though. The government messaging now is “get vaccinated so we can lift these restrictions”.

Can you provide some details other then just 'because we like it'?

That's not really explaining things at all. That's just an emotional defensive response with nothing to back it up.
I’m both Mac OS X and Ubuntu user. There was no need to change anything in OSX because there was no need (defaults are good enough) and I use some tweaks on Ubuntu. I understand that this is anecdotal but I guess this is how OSX users feel.
There are already things in tax law for this kind of stuff. You can write off the losses. If you're rich enough to be hit by this stuff, you're rich enough for an accountant and lawyer to help out with this kind of thing.

The use of backdrop-filter triggers a fascinating bug in Firefox if you have manually enabled it (about:config, layout.css.backdrop-filter.enabled = true): the menus have a `backdrop-filter: blur(25px)`, and when they’re closed, the menus are hidden with `visibility: hidden` (I can’t see any reason why `display: none` is not used, you should normally prefer it), and this triggers https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1600485, where the blurred backdrop still gets rendered, making the areas underneath those menus basically useless as they’re blurred beyond recognition.
And that's the desktop environment's fault you lack self control?

You're blaming your own inability to control yourself on a desktop environment providing too many options. Not everyone lacks self control.
That feels like purposefully misundertanding the situation. The hash match only escalates the matter to a human inspection. In no sane world is that inspection done physically. It means that if your picture approximitely matches a known abuse picture someone gets to view it to verify if it contains abuse or not and then potential legal actions can be taken.

Police knocking down your door will only happen if you are found to posses multiple abuse pictures and they suspect you might be endagering people.
AWS has that inefficiency baked in to their design, but I'm guessing that they do efficiently deploy their IPv4 space.

That is still a problem for sure, but I thinking of places doing things like giving a printer its own subnet just because they have no incentive to be efficient.
And law enforcement inquiries barely contain source port information, or precise time. Most of then go like: who had this IP in $this-two-weeks-window. No source port, no destination IP/port.
I’d argue that “privacy” is just a significant trigger argument for most people, but not felt as important per se outside of the context of being afraid of the social consequences of some behaviors being exposed.

Take all the paranoia and “muh privacy” around contact tracing or the European Green Pass: It’s as anonymous as it can be, yet millions of people argue against them across the political chasms that separate them. So yes: unless it becomes a divisive topic (which would be undesirable), this CSAM scanning will go away with the news cycle.

About your comment on celebrities’ “sex-tapes”. I guess it takes a certain kind of extroversion and (positive) narcissism to be one, and they’re expected to be gossiped about or to show their bodies in movies or photos so I don’t think those victims blinked that much - some like P. Hilton probably manufactured some porn to ride the wave. On the other hand, revenge porn did drive ordinary people to suicide because in this case the victims weren’t prepared or expected to let the public to see that.
Xfce on Arch then? Shit, my Gentoo/Xfce gives me that too. Apple is all hype.

In the last 12 months there's been loud threads on HN about Apple and MS breakage and user hostility. Meanwhile, my old installs keep working, out of my way. I've been through a few big Xfce updates too - it got better, objectively better and didn't break anything - and never once (since 2007) has it disrespected me with any user hostile $BigCo_MiddleManager bullshit.

In short: cheers to Linux, Gentoo, Arch and Xfce.

So stable my 70+ "boomer" family can use it. My pop thinks it's "as easy as Win95"
I know a small company CEO who had Internet connected CCTV, complete with audio, installed in the office following a break-in and theft.

His COO later stopped taking meetings in the office because the CEO would sometimes sit and watch and listen in to the office from home.
I'm curious about your workflow for reusable scripts with Jenkins. What are the advantages to putting it in Jenkins? How do you set up Jenkins to run these individual scripts?
The funny thing is social media and streaming is already there:

facebook.com has IPv6 address 2a03:2880:f119:8083:face:b00c:0:25de
instagram.com has IPv6 address 2406:da00:ff00::23ae:4dc1
snapchat.com has IPv6 address 2001:4860:4802:36::15
netflix.com has IPv6 address 2600:1f14:62a:de82:822d:a423:9e4c:da8d
youtube.com has IPv6 address 2404:6800:4006:810::200e

The holdouts are somewhere else. Imagine if cloudflare and cloudfront defaulted to enabling ipv6 - I expect the jump in worldwide ipv6 traffic would be massive. On the other hand the missing services are very tech oriented:

github.com has no AAAA record

Once traffic can default to ipv6, we'll see ipv4 slowly dying, but the defaults really matter.
Anything in this case is spending about 40 USD per head. That seems incredibly cheap?

Government could have easily forced a reasonable license where the original manufacturer gets paid per shot but is not in a position to limit availability. They are not the only ones able to manufacture these vaccines.
Please understand that patents only serve the big companies, not the small developer. Companies like Apple, Google and Microsoft just cross-license in case there is a problem and they gain from that.

As a small developer who invented something and has patented that invention. What do you do when Apple uses that patent without informing you or paying you. Do you sue them? That will take 10 years and lots of money and will surely wear you out. The only way a small developer gets paid for a patent is by selling it to a patent troll. I guess this is how the system works.

By the way, I don't agree with software patents, and I think 20 years is too long for a patent in this day and age.
Back im my day we used to skin the shit out of our winamp. Used to show off our latest look whenever you had a friend come over. Good times.

I found a disc with some of my olde skins recently, some of the real premo ones that to translate to todays lingo; were rarer than a rare pepe and spicier than a spicy meme.
Where did I blame the Desktop Environment? Nowhere did I state such, so please stop putting words in my mouth. I find the interoperability of my devices _great_ and I can't get that with Linux. I'd rather spend those hours tweaking servers, or projects, than some pointless (and typically subpar) Linux DE. I don't want to deal with that, as others have pointed out.
No means no. Stop bugging people and forcing your dogma on them.
Yup, ISPs in countries that got a nice big block if addresses in the early days can still manage this. I have a cable connection that was originally provided by NTL (now Virgin Media). My IPv4 address changes about once a year now as they do upgrades/maintenance. It used to change even less.
There's more to it than that though. As the article notes, Amazon are ruthless when it comes to squeezing every last drop out of their workers. Sure, this software is _currently_ going to be used to try and reduce imposter attacks, but given their reputation I don't think it's unreasonable to see this as potentially leading to increased surveillance of their workers (which will be marketed as 'helping increase productivity'). I would wager that this is why people are getting bent out of shape over the article.
Options beget choice. Choices need a decision, which requires energy. We can reframe what is called in german Innerer Schweinehund as our innate, hardwired wetware program to conserve energy. Lions and all other cats sleep most of the day, because hunting, which succeeds 1 out of 10 times, requires a lot of energy. We now live in an environment where food is abundant, no running after gazelles till think break down from overheating required. Now it becomes apparent why many people prefer convenience without thinking over choice.
And internet activity. Even if you put a personal device on company WiFi you should assume that the DNS and TLS SNI/IP data is being logged and analysed.

Use a VPN, that way if you good off on your phone during the day at least they can only see how many bytes you're using and when
Anything that makes mass surveillance more expensive is a plus in my book.

Who is going to be the first iphone user to go to jail and get the 'child rapist' treatment for buggy apple software?
Philips in the Netherlands and Thomson in France went the same way (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomson_(marque)) - after being major manufacturers of consumer products, they are now licensing their consumer brand to third party manufacturers.

Basically they are banking on their previous glories and advertising.

Sometimes you can spot the exact same product from a noname manufacturer, it's just missing the right sticker.
Any sufficiently powerful law will be abused. I don't think any internet was ruined by GDPR.
Yeah. But he didn't show that.
Without having opened the page: visibility can be animated using CSS transitions, so you can fade in/out the menus. Display doesn't work that way, so that's probably the reason.
I thought China had already mandated USB and Apple complies there by including a small stubby micro USZb to Lightning adapter with its phones.

I can’t wait for the day I can ditch Lightning and micro USB cables.
By nature of black holes: we don't know. For us it is pretty much a mass removed from this universe. For all we know, it has the average density everywhere. But the currently prevalent theory posits the density of the volume of the black hole is actually zero, with all the mass in a single point (singularity).
Said no one. No enterprise is going to recommend a browser that auto updates behind the scenes uncontrollably. Enterprise recommends Edge.
You seem to have a fairly combative tone, which I suggest you temper a little bit if you want to have an actual discussion.

Having said that, since when is an emotional reason to use something not a valid reason?

I mean, I don't like MacOS for a bunch of reasons that are probably unreasonable or emotional, but that's my right too.
Can you stop being obnoxious about other people’s preferences and just get on with your own shit if you’re so happy with it?
Nobody really cares about his 30 year old currency trades. What people care about is his promotion of liberalism and multiculturalism. People like me put that in his 'plus' column, but to many others, it's negative to such an extent that only his having been possessed by demons can explain it.
It's this thing you keep saying where endless tweaking is necessary. That is not true as I have stated multiple times. If you feel the need to constantly tweak things when you have the option to and can't help yourself that is purely a personal behaviour thing and nothing to do with any technology.
If they had taken the risks and incurred the costs of development themselves, of course. But they were massively subsidized. In that case, the state should either get a share of the profits or negotiate fair prices that exclude all too huge profits.
It’s never too old to change, just accept your need or desire and wholeheartedly commit, even on your death bed, change is possible, it’s just up to yourself
Yea, sorry I "forced" you read my opinion.

Open source and free software is free. Even if you value your time.

Sorry for being a pedant.
Alternative view - those addresses should not be "returned". They're owned. I hope hoarders will get blocks as large as they can so that we experience real shortage and start seeing the first ipv6-only services.
What is the difference really. The company bought patents from an another company that maybe wanted to use them, or used them, and sold them

They put work into them. Apple, one of the largest patent holders in the world, is telling it don't accept patent law. The same law they use to hold one of the largest pool of patents in the world both created internally and bought from other companies.

The same company that most likely will become a patent "troll" or sell patents to one when the business will decline.
what happened to that seaweed-that-cuts-90%-of-bovine-methane-output discovery a few years ago? hasn't that been deployed yet? someone hoarding that tech / patent / knowhow for profits ?
This is from hearsay, since I was only there a few weeks before getting out, so I only spent some time on the floor and looked at the code for a bit:

It was a municipal management system that grew over time (decades).

At some stage a government standards body raised the legacy risk inherent in the Natural Adabas codebase.

Some (pretty impressive) 3rd party tool was used to transpile the codebase to a more "modern Java web application architecture".

The code wasn't idiomatic Java and used some extension libraries to supply missing capabilities. For example I don't recall ever seeing any other Java system that uses continuations.

I spent an entire day tracing one field from the front-end to the database. I documented the components, flows, logic and db structures and then asked one of the team leads to verify if I got it right. She confirmed that I did. I then asked what the code on question actually does, functionally.

She replied something to the effect of "Good heavens, I don't know either - you'll need to speak to one of the functional guys and then spend some time with the Natural code from before the transpilation".

She needed about 6 months to get a new Java dev to a level where they could do minor feature requests or bug fixes. Understandably her ability to retain developers was quite low - they tended to leave quickly after spending time with the system.

Business didn't seem to get why the velocity for new features was so slow.

They didn't have an architect, documentation was fragmentary.

Previous modernisation initiatives had already become obsolete as well: IIRC the App server was Glassfish and front-end (web) components were using some JBoss widget library that was already deprecated at the time.

Like I said, I left quickly.
And what about the other connector at the bottom? There was power and data handled separately. I remember getting a successor Nokia phone with the physically same connector and not working in my car adapter. I also remember my Nokia headset having a different charging port diameter than my phone. Nokia failed to fully exploit the platform they had - not even considering the head-start they had on the app store front.

As a long time Mac user, in my opinion what has historically distinguished the Mac from other platforms is the high degree of UI/UX consistency across applications. Mac users historically valued software products that conformed to the Apple Human Interface Guidelines and tended to shun non-compliant products; this is why Microsoft Word 5.1 was so well-received by classic Mac users while Microsoft Word 6 was rejected by many of these users (https://lowendmac.com/2013/microsoft-word-for-mac-faq/). While consistency among popular Mac apps isn't (and never has been) perfect, there's much more consistency among Mac apps than among Windows apps or among the X11 ecosystem (though, to be fair, consistency improves when sticking to apps designed for a specific desktop environment such as KDE or GNOME).

This is just my opinion, but I've found the classic Mac OS and pre-Yosemite Mac OS X Apple Human Interface Guidelines to be quite well thought of. In fact, while I prefer the technical underpinnings of Mac OS X to those of the classic Mac OS, I prefer the classic Mac OS's interface, which seems more intuitive to me.

Having the ability to theme one's desktop is nice, but I prefer having an ecosystem of well-designed applications that all conform to a common set of well-designed UI/UX guidelines. This is what has kept me on the Mac all these years, and my disappointment with the Linux desktop is that while it's easy for me to theme the desktop, the applications themselves are inconsistent, theming is only skin-deep, and what does not help is the fact that there is no single toolkit, desktop, and/or UI/UX guidelines (though, once again, I can achieve some greater consistency by sticking to Qt/KDE or GTK/GNOME apps). Granted, I admit the holy grail for me is for those well-designed applications to also have customizable UIs.

However, in an age where Electron apps are becoming more common and where M1 Macs can run some iOS apps, there is less cross-application consistency these days on the Mac. I regularly use Zoom and Slack, which clearly stand out when compared to applications that use the native AppKit API's controls.
I was surprised to find that 1% dilute HF is both adequate to purpose, and safe to handle.
I only said this once, but I know I am not the only one. You asked, and you got an answer, on why people prefer systems where people get what they consider sane defaults. I have an endless curiosity, and if the way I need to deal with it is by making limiting decisions on purpose (while still getting a perfectly capable set of operating systems) then I will. Does my choice to limit what I know I have a weakness in mean I lack self control? I could still go after Linux and the endless dream if I wanted, but I chose not to?
Gmail is on the Google servers. Did you pay for Gmail?

You can always work somewhere else. Or start your own company. Or even organize, which is a legally protected ability in the United States.

Don't accept that bullshit. Especially if you're a software engineer and have a million opportunities.

I resigned from a big tech company because I refuse to build any weapons, period. I'll always refuse to build them as long as I live. I can easily get hired somewhere else.

I am not sure about that. When IPv6 support nears 95%, the pressure will be on those few ISPs to give access to those areas inaccessible from v4. Think of all these websites that need to be cheap and are happy enough with reaching 95% of the audience: blogs, small businesses, anything education related, etc. That should help going from 95 to 100.
