If you think about how phone support works, it would be pretty challenging to prevent the support staff from being able to access an arbitrary account.

You'd have to set up a system where the phone tech could not access the account data unless the customer relayed the right name, SSN, or whatever other validation that they were the right person (people forget passwords!). But this means you need to be able to look up an account by some kind of PII, or at least ask the customer to cite some recent purchases (to prove ownership)... in which case the tech has to be able to see the purchases to validate them!

Anyway, I'm sure there's some path here to make it mostly possible, but I don't think it's easy and I'm sure it's a higher-friction customer support experience.
It's cause you want to get to your home boxen from outside.
A possible workaround - but not remotely one I expect them to do - is for them to amend their own terms of use to forbid themselves from expanding this feature without explicit opt-in consent, forbid themselves from making any expanded version mandatory to continue using the device with their software, contractually agree to liquidated damages in case of breach equal to three times the greater of original phone MSRP or actual purchase price plus included taxes/fees and inflation and interest and attorney/court fees, and remove their right to amend this provision without that same non-mandatory opt-in consent.

Again, I don't expect them to do this. But they could add a useful level of trust if they were really motivated to do so.
Interesting project. It would be cool if it was a sort of wikipedia for UI, where everyone could contribute.
This kind of dystopia is thankfully not one that everyone lives in.

In Europe you generally have a graded expectation of privacy that does not disappear the moment you enter the workspace.

We recognise that people have needs that are not met if you treat them as automatons.

To your surveillance camera point, I live in the UK which is renowned for the number of cameras. If I point a surveillance camera at the sidewalk in front of my house, I'd break the law.
Of course, now that that cat is out of the bag, it turns out everybody knew it all along.
How?

And in what way does it make sense to make the connector that one manufacturer uses the standard one when you could make the connector that everyone, including that one specific manufacturer, uses the standard?
Going by existing devices, lighting ports are capable of 4 lanes of communication and at least 5Gbps per lane.

That's easily enough for 4k at 60 Hz, if the device is set up for HDMI output. I don't think any existing devices can output through passive HDMI adapters, but it would be easy to make it possible.

Even if you were stuck with USB 3 speeds, which some existing devices can definitely do, that's still more than enough for 1080p.

If you can't get either of those, the problem isn't the port.
> we assume that there is no legitimate way to have CSAM files on your phone

WhatsApp has "Save pictures to camera roll" on by default. Someone can send you a bunch of CSAM via WhatsApp and now you are in trouble.
When the governments of the world demand that Apple become an arm of the dystopia, Apple will comply, and its users will have no choice but to go along with it.

I would argue that Apple is creating systems so they can't become an arm of the dystopia.

For example, even if a government somehow forced Apple to include non-CSAM hashes to the database, the system only uses hashes from multiple child protection agencies in different jurisdictions where the CSAM is the same.

So Apple only uses the hashes that are the same between org A, B and C and ignores the rest.

This, along with the audibility Apple recently announced and the other features makes it so there's literally nothing counties can do to force Apple to comply with some dystopian nightmare…

Of course, with potentially more open operating systems, it would be trivial by comparison for state actors to create a popular/custom ROM for Android that's backdoored.
Maybe they mean that things like flexible/assignable ips and load balancers aren't available on v6.
That would be right. But giving them negative credibility and dismissing everything they say as bunk, because they said it, is dumb.
The is no nuance to this. The iCloud sync is always on. So every time you take a photo with your camera, Apple asks FBI if you're a pedophile or not. If there's a match, it will naturally has to notify the cops. What nuance is there?!
> C.S. Lewis once said that one can believe that Jesus is the son of god or a charlatan

C.S. Lewis was a Christian so he is using two-value logic. Most Asian philosophies is based on four-value logic hence difficult for Westerners to comprehend in full.

Jesus could have been liar or god or both or neither.

It's really great how the world changes to accomodate those of us who are less fortunate in some physical capacity - for example wheelchair access to buildings and transportation where everyone wins.

In other cases the drive for equality means everyone has to be equaly harmed, like when institutions of higher education remove online courses from public access due to lack of captions [0]

I hope we are mature enough to accept someone who experiences reality in a different way [1] is not necessarily dimished by that and that being supportive of them in their uniqueness is the sign of a healthy society but also that being supportive isn't the same as bending over backwards.

I've never worked for Amazon and have even avoided them because of news like this.

However, now I wonder if it's all overblown, just like other shit in the media.

Surely, no one in their right mind would work in such conditions. It could be decent or at least acceptable.

Wonder how it compares to a small company where your manager watches everything you do and yells at you for a typo.
> There are a ton of owners sitting on inefficiently used IP space.

This includes AWS, btw. You effectively get a public IPv4 with your instance, regardless of your actual needs. It actually increases your costs to get cloud instances that don't do that.
Maybe they just bought it for insurance.
It’s illegal if the employer has a local entity and could hire you as an employee and they’re your only gig, but if it’s a foreign company with no way to employ you in your country, what else are you supposed to do? Decline the job because of that? I don’t think that situation would be illegal because there is no legal alternative.
I don't think that's true. Outside of a very vocal minority of mac users on HN, most people don't really care about native UI.
> One problem with taxes on addictive substances is that they have little effect on consumption behavior.

Has this been studied? I get that we expect a lot of price inelasticity due to the nature of addiction, but I wonder how true that is.

One study[1] I'm reading now about a natural experiment on cigarette taxes. It worked a bit. There was an immediate decrease of 0.75% after the 25% tax was implemented, and it continued to decrease by 0.02% month-on-month afterwards (although part of that 0.75% decrease might be the existence of untaxed substitutes, and part of that 0.02% monthly decrease might be a global trend).

This[2] seems quite optimistic about taxes' ability to reduce demand. However, the data they share is not a nice natural experiment, so I don't put too much weight into it.

This one[3] is saying demand isn't inelastic at all.

This one[4] on sugar is saying a 10% price increase leads to a 13% reduction in demand.

> A higher tobacco tax makes smokers poorer

Yes, but an income tax makes workers poorer. I'd rather tax destructive behavior than productive behavior, as long as demand isn't too inelastic, given that we literally have to choose between them in order to raise sufficient revenue for the state. I admit that I should read more studies on exactly how inelastic it is before coming to a conclusion on that, though, but my cursory reading seems to support that it isn't overly inelastic.

> large amounts of saturated fats are known to be unhealthy

I wouldn't mind taxing that as well. I'm aware there's a point at which it becomes a bit too complicated, though. Start simple with sugar, alcohol and tobacco, and add other things like saturated fats based on the weight of evidence and whether it can be done simply and easily.

> In small amounts, sugar can even be healthy, e.g. after exercise.

Yeah. Similar to how alcohol might be healthy for people with heart disease. These are edge cases, and the tax will distort the market for these edge cases. But taxation is always a blunt instrument, and the broad alignment of incentives 99% of the time with a sugar tax is correct, unlike with a property tax (not a land tax) or an income tax where you get a misalignment almost all the time.

Gotta be honest, the last mac I ever used ran OS8 I think, maybe 9, it was one of the classic Mac os's either way.

I know this is just a UI recreation and not the actual OS but as a long time KDE user, like over a decade, I can't help but think meh, why does this UI get so much praise?

I can make my desktop look, act and behave literally any way I want, I can modify every single aspect of every single thing on my desktop to suit my work flows and everything I do on a computer exactly so my computer does exactly what I want, when I want, exactly how I want it to in the exact way I want things to be done.

I haven't changed much over the years, i've copied my configs through every update, even brand new computers and everything always just works how I want it to.

Why do people pay the premium for this UI Apple forces you to use?

This blog used to be called Cantor's Paradise or something like that. Article is an ok popular-level description of uncomputability, focusing mostly on biographical details of early researchers in the field (Turing, Church, etc). As with other articles from the same blog, it mostly rehashes info well known from other sources. There's nothing exactly wrong with it, but I don't really see what is gained.

I'm nowhere near a real expert in this topic but almost everything I've seen in the blog so far, I've already seen elsewhere, quite a lot of it in Wikipedia. Nothing is copied or anything like that, but there are only so many ways to tell the same stories.
I didn't realize at first how much this was going to change my view of Apple. Used to be when I saw the "Verifying xyz..." popup on my laptop, I felt a little more secure. It popped up tonight, and I found myself wondering, "Am I in trouble?"

I guess what I'm saying is, at least for me, this backlash is blurring their entire privacy and security pitch. Apple built a walled garden, told me it was for my own protection, then come to find out the cameras are all pointing to the inside.
Better monitor those employees to ensure they’re tip tapping their keyboard all day long in Teams, Slack and JIRA!!

It's already a lie, considering NCMEC's database already has non-CSAM images. It won't ever be true, since the hundreds and possibly thousands of entities with direct and indirect access to the database can upload SunnyMeadow.jpg labeled as CSAM content, and it's blindly accepted.

If Apple is receiving a hash labeled as "CSAM", how can they possibly make this guarantee? They do not know it's CSAM. It's unverifiable and comes down to "trust us".

Remember, NCMEC is an unaccountable organisation inextricably linked with the FBI and the U.S. government. It is not subject to FOIA requests. Its database has never been audited, and it is known to be a mess already.
I second your implicit recommendation to read the RRE archives, which mysteriously the Washington Post article didn't include a link to. I was an RRE reader for many years, and occasionally he quoted my replies. Well, once.
I am the OP to this comment.

Thanks, but I can only work part-time due to my disabilities. I have 2 rare neurological diseases affecting my peripheral nervous system plus type 1 diabetes. Even as an electrical engineering graduate student this is a bad situation, being American. Not every person working in tech is able-bodied.

Via the Affordable Care Act, I am heavily disadvantaged. Not only do I meet the maximum out-of-pocket (both in network/out-of-pocket yearly), but I have a lot of uncovered costs. My out-of-pocket costs as an individual are well over $20K/year. Also, where I am from in the US, the ACA plans are only HMO plans. One of the immune-mediated neurological diseases I have is very rare, and I am lucky to be alive, as this disease has been life-threatening in the past. It is in remission now. However, the disease was discovered on NIH grant funds in the 2000s, so I really am tremendously lucky to be alive.

That being said, HMOs are a problem. There are only certain doctors who really know how to treat my very rare disease. If I want to stay alive, I really cannot be on an ACA plan.

The system is @#$% and I suggest you check your privilege at the door. I currently live abroad as I want to (need to?) stay alive. I also rely on certain, hard-to-obtain treatments, too.
One of the worst projects I participated in was led by a Leetcode master, good at the 30-line algorithm and terrible at code design and service design.

The best process I participated in included, along with some design scenarios, handing a candidate a laptop computer with their usual IDE and a home directory with a readme and a source tree. They’d read the readme and do the work against the code that was present, find and fix a bug and then add a feature. You learn a lot about what they know and how they think. Google and everything available, if they didn’t know what something meant they looked it up. Simulated work very well.

Probably Covid has put this mode on ice, and it cost a bit of effort to set up, but well worth it.
IMHO, the relevant regulations are pretty carefully worded to make 4th amendment defenses harder. In this case, Apple has some liability for criminal activity on their platform whether it is was E2E encrypted or not.
Well, for example, schools? We already teach children history, basic statistics, media literacy, basic epistemology, etc.

That does not mean that schools teach kids what to think. Rather, we teach kids how to think, and what the common pitfalls are.

The problem is that this means that a bad education leaves you vulnerable to manipulation. That, and the fact that it takes 10-20 years for the effect to reach society.

Yah, but it's not worth it even with incentive. It's cool for geek factor / having a major UPS and I may go for it for that reason.

I think batteries-- distributed or as part of utility-scale deployments-- can help a bit but are not economical enough to use to solve this problem.

It's going to take more of everything-- more solar overprovisioning, a lot more wind power, a fair bit of battery, more load shedding and demand pricing, more DC interconnect allowing power to be shipped large distances... and other stuff, like gas-to-power-to-gas and/or more nuclear baseload... to really let us move to an overwhelmingly renewable grid and have stable power.

The issue, IMO, is that there's many different timescales/types of shortfall (very cloudy couple weeks in winter with no wind vs. daily duck curve)... and then there's the 1 in 100 and 1 in 1000 events, too (heat wave in summer + overcast rolls in at 2:00PM trapping heat in all night with less insolation and little wind). Chemical storage can't blunt the longer timescale shortfalls much.

NCMEC's database does not only contain CSAM. It has never been audited. It's full of false positives. They are immune from FOIA requests. They are accountable to nobody. They work so closely with the FBI that there are FBI agents working on the database directly.

NCMEC is essentially an unaccountable, unauditable department of the FBI that also happens to be incompetent (the amount of non-CSAM in the database is large).
Deal with what? I selected some click and point options from a very clear and easy to read menu, downloaded some themes from a nice shiny, easy to use theme downloader, it took me all of a half hour to an hour or so to set things up about a decade ago and I have had to do a minimal amount of work since.

Little tweaks,improvements here and there as I find better ways of doing things but otherwise, it was not much work at all.

Install from a live CD...actual CD originally, USB these days, go to the options menu that has all the things, click some buttons and menus, drag some widgets around, browse through the shiny WM themes, download, install, done.

If you can use a computer to do basic tasks, it's really not hard. If you can't navigate some menus that have confusing titles like, desktop settings and themes and display options and widgets and you can't click and drag things around, whatever OS you use will be a struggle.

> 20% of food stamp money is spent on sugary stuff

I think the idea of a government dictating what you get to eat is still insane. How long till some politician gets paid off to pass some specific food? Such power should always be setup under the assumption that a bad actor will eventually corrupt it.

And then of course you get the blind thinking "the government put it on the healthy list, so it must be healthy"...

The better solution (in my opinion) is to educate people - to the point where they choose to make the right choices. Diet and exercise is just as important as Math and English when teaching kids to be productive members of the work force. This will massively pay off in the long run, as such habits usually get passed down for generations.
