Been using Pop since beta (on Arch Linux) and while it has had a few rough spots along the way, it keeps getting better. Pop does have a public issue tracker that we can submit bug reports and feature requests to as well > http://support.pop.com/.

Pop used to have a roadmap (https://www.figma.com/proto/bMYNNI6cy4DL1r0dgOFzjI/Screen?no...) more visible about the longer term vision which I really liked, it was about creating a constant layer on the desktop where you can just press a hotkey, up comes a list of Pop contacts, and you can basically knock on their door, they get a quick ping and you can be joined together in a second. This is the vision that I am really into and there is an issue to track the progress here > https://screen.canny.io/feature-requests/p/global-shortcut-t....

This means no more posting video share links in Slack and the friction to actual pair with someone becomes a couple seconds versus a minute+. Really looking forward to this!!!

TSV is a dead simple and fully-specified format. Here it is: https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/text/tab-separa...

CSV is a mish-mash of different, complicated, and under-specified standards and/or implementations.

What exactly is different here? Am I seeing different search result? What does it show now as opposed to say a year ago?

Can someone post the list?
I think you're thinking of the Xerox "Star", not the "Alto":

Real ID is a backdoor national ID, just administrated piecemeal by the states.

The feds have all of the secure flight data and all of the Real ID license/state ID card data, linked to SSN.

Keeping lists secret appears to be something the human race is really really bad at.
TBH every time I've been in a debrief where someone was pushing to hire an individual who didn't quite clear the bar it's because the candidate "reminded them of an earlier version of themselves". This reminder is the most biased form of hiring I've encountered, as it's almost entirely based on the interviewer assuming context about the candidates background and assuming that that background leads to success.
> I don’t think so. Side loading is needed by like 1% of users and for the rest it is bad.

Then make it not at all obvious how to do it. Grandma will never figure it out, and the 1% of us who WANT the feature can have it.
> The Real ID Act has not been tested in court yet because it has not gone into effect

It went into effect in 2014. You are probably confusing Phase 4 requirements (the requirement for Real ID for commercial air travel being the main one) with the act as a whole. Real ID are issued, and are required for a variety of purposes.

> Prior Supreme Court cases have ruled that the Federal government cannot coerce the States, e.g. via taxation or regulatory authority, to do something for the Federal government that the Federal government is prohibited from doing itself.

Which would be relevant if cases had also established that the federal government cannot issue photo ID cards that the Federal government required for functions subject to federal regulation under the Constitution.

But no such ruling has been made, and the federal government issues a variety of IDs (passports, permanent resident ID, military ID), and mandates their use (allowing, in some cases—like commercial air travel—the use of an acceptable alternative) for a variety of purposes.
For random numbers, that wont' be uniform. Suppose we have a good quality, uniformly distributed 32 bit unsigned random number, that we want to reduce, to say, 0..13 which also has a uniform distribution.

What we can do take enough bits from the number to cover the range, in this case 4:

out = r % 16;

Then, we test whether the value is in the range 0 to 13. If not, we throw the random number away, and try it with a another four bits.
Much better than the article.
> What concrete proposals exist for phasing out SSN as proof of identity in the US?

> And how can I (as a person in tech) get involved?

Wide distribution of name, ssn, dob lists seems to be a good way to reduce the effectiveness of SSN as proof of identity. If you'd like to get involved, you can probably take part in breaches or distribution. /s
Have you projected your hatred of Christianity to compare the Taliban to them?

But that's not possible. We are nowhere near being able to sustain that. Nowhere near. Reducing our consumption is possible right now.
What's hostile is taking the ideas from good developers and implementing them directly in the OS. They should really buy the technology instead of simply forcing companies out of business.
This is insultingly low-grade BS. Of course the top 20 domains are going to be mainstream; it's a simple numbers game - there are few mainstream domains and they each have relatively high traffic.

A more correct view would have been sample-based. Sample a random number of interactions and analyze and categorize the targets. This will catch all of the spammy, shady and sometimes even purposefully opionion-bending things posted under thousands of separate domains, etc.

On top of that, it’s only even maybe-obviously-theoretically-correct if the employee stays a long time. If they stay for 5-10 years, I’d think rapid improvement tends to beat current ability. If they only stay for 1-3 years, though, the quick learner likely provides less value. Even if they catch up after say 2-3 years, they were providing less value while catching up.

Apple said that the probability of a collision is quite a bit higher than that:

> As the system is initially deployed, we do not assume the 3 in 100M image-level false positive rate we mea- sured in our empirical assessment

The "1 in 1 trillion" part is the probability that the number of false positives could exceed the threshold needed to trigger a human review:

> Apple always chooses the match threshold such that the possibility of any given account being flagged incorrectly is lower than one in one trillion, under a very conservative assumption of the NeuralHash false positive rate in the field.

Is there a way to learn that an issue has been converted to a discussion using the GitHub REST API?

I'm having problems with GitHub actions attempting to comment on converted issues that no longer accept comments, and the API does not seem to offer a way to identify that an issue has been converted to a discussion.
Excel's default insistence on trying to coerce the data into what it expects the data to be is the source of many of the problems of people using CSV. Excel will even ignore quotes around values if it thinks that the value inside might be a number. I often work with CSV files that contain 17 digit IDs that use numeric characters "01233998742021925" which Excel will convert lossily into scientific notation rather than leaving it as a string. There are ways to override that but they are tedious and people don't do it by default.

I'd be satisfied if Excel was just a little less aggressive about it's data coercion on import.
But why do they store it?
Ok, even then: 30k < 100k. You still come out 70k ahead employed by a US company.
A good example of how Apple's App Store allows it to abuse its control over its platform to browbeat potential competitors:

1. Developer makes an app that Apple is interested in.

2. Apple tries to acquire said app.

3. Talks fail.

4. App updates suddenly face irrational "rejection" during app review process and are no longer allowed on the App Store unless developers "jump through a myriad of fiery hoops juggled by either incompetent, malicious, or overworked reviewers enabled by rules the company wrote itself that continually get interpreted in various weird ways".

5. Simultaneously, Apple allows scammy copy-cat apps to confuse users and drain revenue away from legitimate app.
Yes, that is a problem. But that's not what the parent poster is talking about. It's absolutely irrelevant to this conversation.

The parent poster takes issue with the fact that an unintrusive person of interest list exists, and wants oversight on it. This is an absolutely unprecedented legal take.

It doesn't help that they are conflating the two (one of which is, at a first glance reasonable, and the other is not), when they are not the same thing. All that does is muddy the waters.
I wonder what the Xerox of today is. Something with AR/VR maybe? Or maybe an AI company?
The bigger question, though, should be why are they storing the actual SSN? They can run a credit check and store only the result of the credit check and not all the personal data they had to collect to run the check. Presumably, they do need some way to report delinquent accounts to the credit bureaus after the fact, but there's no reason why credit monitors can't use a tokenized system (i.e. submit the SSN to the credit bureau and receive back a UUID which has the singular purpose of reporting back to the credit monitors.)

We really need to start attaching eye-watering financial penalties to companies that leak data so that we make the only sane decision be not storing that data in the first place. Collect it and shuttle it to where it needs to go...but under no circumstances commit it to at rest storage.
Unfortunately option 2 isn't what's being offered here in any legitimate way. Instead there is a stream of bizarre theories which are given as much publicity as possible, before being quietly discarded and replaced with the next one.

The point isn't to reach the truth, but to cement in people's minds the idea that a massive crime has occurred, based on the psychological bias of "there's no smoke without fire", despite all the smoke being generated by a smoke machine.

This strategy of misinformation has long been known, and was portrayed quite brilliantly in the 1962 film "The Manchurian Candidate":

> Are they saying: "Are there any Communists in the Defense Department?" No, of course not, they're saying: "How many Communists are there in the Defense Department?"

I don't believe it removes bias. By pigeon-hole-principle-related reasoning, you cannot map, say, 65536 values to 17 values without bias.

The method redistributes the bias compared to straight modulo.

You won't get a uniform distribution with this, just a differently shaped one compared to modulo.
Are you saying that one photosite might be included in more than one pixel and therefore the overall pixel count is roughly equal to the number of photosites?

On immigration policy:

> Traditionally if I wanted to work at a company in another country I would have to go to that country. I’d have to be an immigrant from my country, at least for a while. In a world of remote work and Zoom and Slack, I can now work for people anywhere in the world. I can work for companies doing any kind of knowledge work. Immigration policies apply to the atoms of human beings, they don’t apply to the bits. I can go to work for some company anywhere in the world if it’s a remote-friendly company. I may never travel there, I may never have to travel there.

Marc Andreessen is getting very close to saying the quiet part out loud. This is the clearest statement I've seen to date from a venture capitalist that white collar offshoring is almost certainly going to accelerate due to the shift towards remote work brought on by the pandemic.
Brand is definitely a strong driver. The number of styles, and the number of glyphs is also an aspect. Being worth the money is compared not just the font itself, but to what you expect in return. If you're thinking about how popular your mobile OS got, it could make sense to design a distinct font for it.
Exactly this. I see lots of people saying that Apple are forced to implement something via legislation as if it’s an excuse for it.

If they want to do business in China they will be forced by their legislation.

My entire argument is don’t build the mechanism.
>Also, if Twitter, Google, Microsoft are already deploying CSAM scanning in their services .... why are we not hearing about all the "swatting"?

>their services

>T H E I R S E R V I C E S

Because it's on their SERVICES, not on their user's DEVICES, for one.

Also, regardless of swatting, that's why we have an issue with Apple.
Except that this is all about analysing files that are not on iCloud, but on the device. So what is on your phone is now being reported to people who might decide to trash your life. Hardly "staying on your iPhone".
The direction of not letting people store child porn on their servers? That's pretty much what everyone in the cloud space is doing already.

We heard an equal number of people excited about being able to jump into a call with a coworker, vs. being worried about yet another layer of distraction.

Yeah, as I understand it (I currently work in another department), anything sub-10k has much less red tape for fed government procurement in Canada.
We see this quite a lot. Even worse is the maneuvering that can take place to make something look cheaper. This can happen when the government is procuring a complex list of things and trying to do so with one vendor. While the individual pieces can be much cheaper through multiple vendors, those vendors are not eligible to bid because they cannot fulfill the entire request.

We're trying to circumvent this with our collaboration tools--Allowing multiple companies to work together on a single bid.
> Sure, it's possible, but that doesn't seem to have happened in the past decade of PhotoDNA scanning cloud photos to match hashes provided by NCMEC

If it's happened, it's unlikely the public would know about it.

I don't understand anyone's argument against a prenup. common argument:

> If you want a prenup you shouldn't get married.

That's as nonsensical as saying if you want to wear a seat belt you shouldn't get in a car. Some of us would like to drive a car and avoid unnecessary injury. They are not mutually exclusive.

There are already rules about what happens during divorce. If a partner does not a want a prenup it does not mean they don't want rules. They merely want the "default" rules of divorce. Likely because those rules favor them at great expense to their partner. Alimony, gaining assets they did not contribute to obtaining, etc.

The current laws around divorce are medieval in cruelty and are modern day indentured servitude. With suicide being the only escape. If your partner prefers these laws, they are either ignorant, or do not truly care for you.

Traceability. I don’t know how it is in the US, but in Europe these days it’s relatively hard to get a SIM without having to show a form of identification. South-East Asia too, in 2013 they would just hand out SIMs like candy, but in 2016 the phone shop / stall that sold you the SIM (illegally) just signed the SIM under the sellers ID and I imagine its even more stringent now.

Strong agree. TSV is better than CSV always (unless you need to interface with an external system that doesn't accept it).

For those not aware, TSV and CSV differ by more than just the delimiting character. TSV has a dead-simple specification: https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/text/tab-separa.... CSV does not have a standard spec and implementations differ quite a bit, but often in subtle ways.
> Why should T-Mobile care who it is they are giving phone service to? As long as the bills are paid on time, it shouldn't matter. Here's my order ID and my password

Therein lies the problem. Phones these days are sold on loans and this is a postpaid service meaning each billing cycle you owe for the prior billing cycle. People defaulting on phone bills is more common than you think.

I recall some time about ~25 years ago where Sprint was offering a no credit check/no deposit special. They ended it due to having to write off a large portion of their non-paying users. It also ended up being a net loss of total users for them, an unheard of situation in a time of rapid growth and a market nowhere near saturation.
CSV is often used as a database-agnostic data dump file. Since the author suggested sqlite as a possible alternative to CSV, I think that using sqlite as a database-agnostic data dump file actually sounds pretty good. For starters, all data is kept in one file instead of being spread out over multiple CSV files. Also, the data schema is already well defined inside an sqlite file. All you need is a tool that can read the sqlite file and write the data out accordingly to other databases depending on dialect.
I'm pretty sure that many corporations would love to distribute private apps to their own company iPhones.

Instead, everybody has to ask Apple to please pretty please let some software run on devices that they own.
I don't really get why Apple is being such a stick in the mud here. As they hint in this article -- the main advantage of the Apple app store is that it is the place that paying users go.

Being on the iOS platform isn't going to bestow this advantage on some shady discount app store that opens up.

And the while the Apple app store is pretty good, they aren't perfect. Opening the platform to a little more competition will force them to bring their A-game -- less arbitrary removals, faster reviews. Apple is a huge company with deep insight into their own operating system, they should be confident in their ability to out-compete any other stores on their platform. Refusing to allow others to compete on their platform just allows them to grow complacent, which will ultimately result in catastrophic failure someday down the line.
Interesting. I wonder how this will interact with StackOverflow.

On one hand, it will tend to give large projects with established communities a centralized location to handle questions which otherwise would be in a StackOverflow tag. Perhaps core developers would be interested in the community management features that Discussions offer, which would be harder to do in a world where questions get delegated to SO.

And potentially linking to the actual version/release that fixes a question would allow maintainers to whittle out the stale/deprecated answers that can bring down the average quality on SO.

On the other hand, it seems like small/medium size projects might suffer from a brain drain effect; if most React experts stop/reduce checking SO, and start/increase checking github.com/facebook/react/discussions, then there's probably less chance at the margin of a React expert seeing something tagged in SO as React,SmallReactLib.

How do folks think this is going to pan out?
