When you realize that surveillance = control then it starts to make sense why governments do this. It is not about prevention of bad things happening.
I'm also surprised that this is the thing that gets people up in arms about iPhones. I mean, you can't even write legitimate application for yourself and run it on your own phone without insane hoops to jump through. Not to mention that you can't buy an iPhone and decide to change the OS or whatever with the hardware, even if Apple stops supporting it.

I have no issue with people who give of very very basic user freedom because they want to opt into the iOS "ecosystem", but I don't see how this particular thing would push anyone of the ledge.
> we need to push back against it politically as a society, not play cat-and-mouse as individuals.

And for that to work, we have to counter the usual "but think of the children!!!" narrative with one of our own - prevent CSAM creation at the source. I have written about how to get started previously: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28114076

From MS:

You can use structure types to design data-centric types that provide value equality and little or no behavior. But for relatively large data models, structure types have some disadvantages:

* They don't support inheritance.
* They're less efficient at determining value equality. For value types, the `ValueType.Equals` method uses reflection to find all fields. For records, the compiler generates the `Equals` method. In practice, the implementation of value equality in records is measurably faster.
* They use more memory in some scenarios, since every instance has a complete copy of all of the data. Record types are reference types, so a record instance contains only a reference to the data.
It's for compatibility with the Apple logo that is displayed on iOS devices when that codepoint is rendered.
Yes, it’s at 47% now if I’m up to date.
Edit: Nolan replied before and corrected me. I've removed my misinterpretation and kept my main point below.

Back in the day, there were people who strongly suggested MongoDB and IndexedDB were the future, and that PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite were trash. I've noticed the folks who rode that hype-train moved into other kinds of occupations that aren't exactly engineering-focused anymore.
There are lots of usecases where random access is guaranteed and spending the extra time moving the atom to the front isn't worth it. Your personal needs aren't representative of those of the rest of the world.
It's so frustrating. The privacy company and the security app are the betrayers.
> Because the document at that link can change.

The document at the link is a PDF, so the "the document is changeable" problem could be addressed by downloading the PDF and attaching it to the email agreement to serve as the record copy.

My bank has a customer portal website. My airline has a check-in website. Using a website instead of an app is a minor inconvenience, certainly not a "massive" one.
Individuals fully control whether they interact with the financial system at all, and if they do, which parts they are exposed to.

The risk posed by any financial asset is not distributed uniformly across the economy. Its impact on any party is proportional to their direct and indirect exposure to that asset, which is something that they control and have to take responsibility for.
As a Safari user I’m really happy with that behavior, it avoids the hassle of manually purging it regularly.

Also in my opinion websites have no business storing data on my device through a browser. If I want that behavior I would use a native app.
But this move matches Apple's current stance on backups. They have access to iCloud backups, but do not have access to local ones. This has been the case for a while now. This mirrors the situation with iCloud photos. In other words, maintaining the privacy of non-synced photos would be consistent with their previous stance on local backups.
That's today.

Won't work:

if(checkForSomething()) {
let foo = 2;
} else {
let foo = 3;
}

console.log(foo); // won't work

But:

if(checkForSomething()) {
var foo = 2;
} else {
var foo = 3;
}

console.log(foo); // will work

That said, I religiously avoid "var" and just declare the variable beforehand with "let" because there are too many other gotchas with var. Less debugging headaches. And use "const" religiously as well, like C++ people do.

I guess I just get my fur up about the "Sources" demand I see more and more these days. It feels like it is used to stop meaningful discussion on a topic.
Observing that the people being quoted don't have a straight story between them is hardly litigation, it's a fairly pertinent indicator of the epistemic state of those involved. A newspaper intent on presenting a cohesive narrative and not confusing the reader would have paved over the contradictions, destroying this valuable signal by only printing quotes that agreed with each other. That's my point, that the author is doing something valuable, that may appear on the surface to be "bad writing," if judged the way we judge fiction, but is in fact good reporting.
The problem is that you have to trust their description when the technology is a black box. And trust that it won't change in the future.
This looks really interesting.
How does it differ from something like Amundsen : https://github.com/amundsen-io/amundsen

No. This is just basic life skills. Taking care of yourself is your highest priority. This means keeping your company life and your personal life completely airgapped, using a specific work phone and a specific work computer so nothing bleeds over.

At 5 pm or earlier you stop working. Then you focus on relaxing as much as possible to recharge. If you have kids, it's harder but it's even more important you learn to relax and recharge because they depend on you.
Perhaps we could solve two problems at once by directing arsonists to locations of planned controlled burns. Everybody wins: the arsonists get to start fires and the forests are properly culled to the benefit of all.

Afterwards everybody could get together, drink a cold beer, tell stories, bitch about how hard it is to be an arsonist and the lousy pay, and argue about who is the best arsonist!

Heck, CA needs so many controlled burns that they could create jobs for arsonists, thus preventing them from initiating disasters b/c of their failed "theatre arts" attempts. "Hello, Thompson, Department of Arson. Burn, Baby, Burn! How can I help you?"

This would also alleviate other states' problems as most arsonists would move to CA to get a steady job.
> So they're name dropping Google in the title for clickbait

No, Hutchinson found the documents by searching on Google for the meeting minutes. The website might have protected the place where you found the link to the meeting minutes, but the meeting minutes themselves were hosted in a directory that not only was publicly accessible if you had the URL, but also allowed Google's crawler to access it and store it.

There is a slippery slope here, either way (if he gets free or if he gets sentenced), but none the less, Google is relevant to the case.
> I feel like everyone who runs software has a strong incentive to determine the origin of it? Do you not feel that way?

Strong incentive no. In fact, most volunteer open source developers release their software with no legal liability at all (cf. MIT license).

Instead of listening to authors, I evaluate for large projects what the actual semantic version of a piece of software is, and other people should do the same.

If someone says they're 0.11.4 and they broke the API 115 times in major, non-compatible ways over the last decade, they're 115.x.x, period. To assume otherwise is just admiring window dressing.

But as @joezydeco says, running your own email infrastructure is fraught with difficulties. If you already know all this and know how to deal with the issues, have at it. If not, you might want to do some research and really consider whether or not it's a good idea to try doing that yourself.
Yes. It felt a little unrealistic IMO but it does describe throughout the story many different solutions that are more and less effective / politically attainable.
> It seems like you already bought into their propaganda for justifying surveillance but you don't like the result.

I think one can arrive at the opinion they would prefer not to have their recommendations flooded with stuff from from alt-right or conspiracy Youtube/Twitter/whatever without buying into propaganda.
>We now live in a world, where our personal computers come with "AI" that detects illegal use of those computers and automatically turns us in to the authorities.

Nah. Everybody else will live in that world because they are addicted to convenience. Personally, I'll be scrapping my iPhone and buying something with free software.

The proposal is the exact opposite of how you characterize it.

> Apple just side-stepped the question on how to reconcile trust in propietary software and surveillance requests from the government.

They actually inserted themselves into the process, not side-stepped it. They could’ve kept status quo (no scanning) and kept supplying iCloud Backups to governments at large rates. As part of this, they’re also forced to add a greatly increased human review function.

> We don't even know what big brother wants to know about you.

They’ve explicitly stated what they’re scanning for and went further to say they will not scan for other types of content. You may not believe them, but this is not a content-neutral or blind justification.
You misunderstand. People say they care about privacy. And they do, in their day-to-day context. But they don't care enough about mass surveillance to make any tradeoffs to avoid it.
If this is the bar for spyware then I've got bad news for anyone browsing the web, even with javascript disabled.

Very well articulated, in a worse prose, it would be “you will have less and less privacy as you depend on more technology because the govt will want more and more power.”
Imagine if your luxury car came with cameras equipped in all the compartments, sending an alert to authorities that what looks like a baggie of cocaine was detected in the glove box, blowing away any protections from unreasonable search.

Interesting. I’m not familiar with a criminal justice system with a false positive rate lower than NCMEC’s perceptual hashes.
They've been saying it since 1949. Now China is the world's second (first on some measures) largest economy, and they sent a rover to Mars and are building a space station.

I had occasion to read some New York Times newspapers from 1917 and 1918, and they were filled with stories about how Mr. Lenine's (sic) government was about to fall if not already in flight. Off the mark by 70 years or so, and Russia is still run by former CP nomenklatura.
This piece is written as if it's covering the event in 2041 as it unfolds, so I read that as just a fictional projection based on what this writer thinks could be in the cards.

This tracks with the general tone I get from the Economist's (excellent) climate coverage: unconvinced we'll get where we need to be quickly enough to achieve the best case climate scenarios, but optimistic that we will eventually hit more of a medium-case scenario, and therefore may need some interim solutions (they often allude to geo-engineering) to bridge that gap.
Apple is already doing that with iOS and iPadOS. Apps are already taken down from the App Store in China at the request of the government.
Wouldn't this be a net benefit for Google? They could offer their Play store on IOS if this passes. That could lead them to really break the IOS walled garden if user's purchases work on both platforms. Actually this goes for any third party store. I don't see Apple ever offering their store on other platforms given their history though.

Overall this seems like a huge net benefit. I can then not care about IOS vs Android if my purchases follow me.

EV charging in shared use / multi-family housing is still one of the harder areas to solve. So great to see more options coming - I wish you the best of luck.

One side is also regulatory. At least where I was because the building feed was not up to code, and to get charging in would hit meters, the upgrade costs were too high. Hopefully solutions can show up there as well. Love not having to have network connectivity just local.
Looking for startup founders to try CORL8
You never have to use a 0.x-version package even if "everyone" is using it, this is like another ultimate HN "I'm forced to do what everyone else is doing and I hate my own choices". If it's just an indirect usage via dependency of a stable package, then it doesn't matter, the stable package itself is responsible for its stability.

We use open source because through either corporate incentive or altruistic passion, some packages do put in the effort to meet user needs. That happens whether you think they owe you anything or not, which they don't. All you achieve by raising the floor of expectation is discourage non-production-ready open source contributions, which I think are still valuable regardless of how unstable they may be.

There is a huge downside to the cheapness of toys though. Every house with little kids is now swimming in cheap plastic junk. Even if you take a hard line with your kids, they'll still get piles of garbage on birthdays, holidays and anytime family comes to visit.

When I was 7 years old way back in the day, all my toys could fit in a small bin about 24 x 24 inches.

80% of the crap in our house never gets played with, just sits in the bottom of a toy box taking up space.
I'm reminded of an amusing thing that happened some time ago (either last year or the year before, I can't quite remember):

My brother was telling me that he was awoken at night by a very loud bang noise. He looked out of the window and didn't see anything, but he didn't go back to bed for whatever reason. A short time later, he heard it again and looked out again to also see a flash of light. Then he saw some kids run away from a nearby alley and he realized what had happened: they had set off fireworks in the alley, which greatly amplified the bang.

After he told me this, we wondered if anyone else had heard it and what they thought of it, since it was so loud. Did people think it was gunshots or an explosion or something? So we did a web search for the local newspapers and sure enough, people had written in and there was an online article about it! About... the UFO sightings with loud noise and flashing lights that night.. :-/

Some people, when they don't know the cause of something, let their imaginations take over and believe the most far fetched garbage. No wonder there's so many conspiracy believers out there these days!

Having worked with IndexedDB quite a bit at my job, I can level three criticisms at IndexedDB.

1. The API is the dogshit hot mess you'd expect for a pre promise/async API.

2. The lack of partial/computed secondary indexes.

3. Apple/Safari does EVERYTHING in their power to break it. I refuse to believe it's incompetence at this point, it's actively malicious.
“Techno-geeks throw fit upon discovering their devices are not immune to the rule of law.”
End-device security is always important; there would be nothing to stop the compromise and lift of, for example, cookies stored in the browser, or a keylogger to grab passwords.
That’s only half true. PWA are exempt from data storage wipe behaviour only if they have been added to the Home Screen. And as your second article points out:

> It’s important to ensure that our iOS visitor is using Safari because iOS doesn’t permit other browsers to install our awesome PWA’s!

So if the user is using Firefox or Chrome etc browser, they can’t do it. And since all browsers have to use WKWebView, the limitation applies to all browsers. Apple has basically crippled other browsers with this anti competitive behaviour.
Three Australian publishers accuse Facebook of unfairly taking their content
But then doesn't that invite the exact types of people that this type of technology is trying to distance from? If everything is truly 100% encrypted and there's nothing that can be done about it, then iPhones just become tools of criminals and there's no way Apple wants that type of image tied to its brand. Maybe we messed up by making the conversation only meaningful between governments and corporations. So how do we change that or turn the tide when voting with our wallet is the only option?

I don't really agree with this system either but I, at least, appreciate the sentiment that they're trying to solve this problem while also providing E2E encryption (assuming that the internal info is correct and the end goal is full E2E encryption).

There's no scientific reason to expect that outbreaks of a highly infectious respiratory virus can be contained by measures short of the drastic lockdowns used in authoritarian countries like China and Australia. Most people in most countries won't go along with that, and in many countries the governments don't even have the resources to even try. A more realistic scenario is that we all get infected eventually but vaccines keep the death toll low.
