I am really surprised by this attitude. I think most of the negative comments here are fueld by a perception of unfairness in general and not any drive to become famous or anything.

You basically seem to advocate for a world where it is ok for platform developers to double maybe tripple dip on transactions that only exist because of the hard work of others. I for myself don’t want to live in a world where this is par for the course. It should be called out and people should be made aware of injustice. It’s not about becoming rich or famous yourself but just realizing unfairness if you see it and ideally taking action on it so that the world may become a better place for all.
Nah, I'm in favor of your comment. You're describing a completely natural phenomenon like it's something bad.

Cancer is completely natural, too.

At some point you have to examine whose interests you wish to serve, and why. Nothing new about that.

Some of these are legitimate grievances but it seems quite reasonable to have separate accounts for work and play.

What I do despise is that my Amazon.com credentials are the same as my Amazon AWS root account credentials. They aren't equals. The services share the name of a rainforest and a very rich CEO but that's about where the similarities end for my part.

I'd rather not have to plug in my AWS root account credentials when I get the urge to impulse buy a robotic vacuum cleaner.
If you really wanted to quit you could get a pixel and install lineageOS or CalyxOS. Now I agree that's jumping through a lot of hoops to get your privacy but it's all based on how much you value that.

I personally like to believe that I value my privacy but de-googling sounds like a large inconvenience. The cynic in me also partially believes that it's pointless and another company will just be(gin) churning my data.

I was thinking of switching from my pixel to an iphone but this recent misstep by apple has dissolved the belief I've had that they are a privacy centric company.

I trust Androids even less than a CSAM'd Apple.

So where does that leave me? One of the pinephone things? Rooted Android with no google services?
I'm certain 99% of those who switch to Android over this recent drama will un-ironically backup their photos in Google Cloud. Which, FYI, Google already does the same thing Apple is proposing, and has been for years.
Electricity is far from cheap in Japan now that the nuclear power plants have all been shut down after 2011. That's also a factor that's not going to change anytime soon.

It is a fair point to make a comparison to the pollution generated from cars vs fossil fueled power plants and try to determine which one is the worst. Cars has catalytic converters, filters, and where I live a 10% minimum ethanol for gas and 26% for bio-diesel in diesel. Compared to the oil power plants that exist a few towns away and I don't know how well the number stacks up.

As an percentage of the full energy grid, I suspect the electric car is better than nothing in this country. If someone is interested in number crunching it would make for an interesting read to see how much the actual difference is for a new electric car compared to a new IC car, especially in other countries like Germany that have close to 100% wind capacity in optimal conditions but on average still burn a lot of fossil fuel.

I very much doubt losing a handful of sales from angry nerds will change that.
But the contrarian opinion would amount to forcing companies to interoperate, which is a massive endeavour of standards and committees - usually only undertaken for natural monopolies to avoid tragedy of the commons.

Are smartphones a natural monopoly? And at what levels? Hardware (including plugs and jacks, physical button locations and functions?), software, data federation? Like where do you draw the line?

If smartphones must allow alternatives, then why not gaming consoles? It's a similarily integrated device. Would Microsoft be forced to allow unlicenced 3rd party software on the Xbox?
Consensual non-consensual (CNC) and even "rapekink" is a thing. There is nothing wrong with videos having "rape", "forced", or "brutal" in it as long as everyone performing is doing so out of their own free will.

This is a bit akin to saying that a film like reservoir dogs encourages theft, torture, and murder.

You may not like it personally, and that's perfectly reasonable, but a lot of people – men and women alike – do.

> Japan is old-fashioned.

It's a little reductive. I'd rather say Japan is typically happy with local maximas instead of aiming at better, newer systems. Sometimes this means that Japan is stuck with obsolete technologies for what seems no good reason, some other times Japan is actually advanced in other ways that seem alien to the rest of the world (the rest of the World not using washlets to clean their butts seems old-fashioned to anyone living in Japan).
Btw. did you really talk to your kids about this and really explained them the situation in a way they can appreciate it? For instance, take a large number of treats divide them on the table and show them who gets what for a game they built…
I think this would be a exceptionally great case to discuss business ethics and the perils of unregulated markets in a way that resonates with kids. Don’t leave this opportunity on the table!
I've observed this frequently on this site and elsewhere. Dissent is pejoratively associated with flat-earth, antisemitism and other nonsense. As a mainstream narrative, it is an effective way to shut down the discussion. Perhaps some might even call that a disinformation conspiracy.
I will also add to look for the effect as the background moves behind the top of the spikes (the bottoms are connected to the ground, correctly!)

What kind of university are you talking about? This could be anywhere from some random state school to Princeton.

Hearing normal folk asking "will I get in trouble for photos of my baby" kind of shows its not just a bunch of angry nerds. Angry nerds will just put gas on fire with simple "yes" answers.

I think most people want their privacy but they are either unaware or haven't realized the true extent at how much data companies have on them or what they're doing on your devices.

I believe most people would be outraged if they bought a home and the homeowner's association had the right to go into their house any time of day and review all the photos they took claiming that it's a policy to protect the kids for child porn.
The concern is not as much about what this system does today as it is what it could easily expand to do tomorrow.

We might have to accept a solution that is technically inferior, yet overall superior. There is no guarantee that the quality of available consumer products is a monotonic function, so we shouldn't act like it is.

And perhaps it is time to experiment with a lifestyle that has less smartphone involvement.
These are two different sets of Creds, or should be.
I found this related saying from Eco even more insightful (at least for me and for my particular case):

> The writer Umberto Eco belongs to that small class of scholars who are encyclopedic, insightful, and nondull. He is the owner of a large personal library (containing thirty thousand books), and separates visitors into two categories: those who react with “Wow! Signore professore dottore Eco, what a library you have! How many of these books have you read?” and the others — a very small minority — who get the point that a private library is not an ego-boosting appendage but a research tool. Read books are far less valuable than unread ones. The library should contain as much of what you do not know as your financial means, mortgage rates, and the currently tight real-estate market allows you to put there. You will accumulate more knowledge and more books as you grow older, and the growing number of unread books on the shelves will look at you menacingly. Indeed, the more you know, the larger the rows of unread books. Let us call this collection of unread books an antilibrary.

I've just turned 40 recently and I've started to realise that no, I won't get to read all the books that I already have in my library, but in the last few years (and especially during the pandemic) I think I've started to "accelerate" the purchasing of books related to fields of knowledge I'm interested in and of which I don't know that many things.

For example just yesterday I bought "The European Right: A Historical Profile" co-authored by Eugen Weber [1] because I've already read Weber's "Peasants Into Frenchmen: The Modernization of Rural France, 1870–1914" which I found highly interesting and because I found it interesting that in the 1960s (i.e. relatively shortly after WW2) the people were still seeing the proto-European fascists as being right-wing, nowadays they would just be called populists, in other words I was interested in reading in the 2020s a book written in the 1960s about an European political movement that took place in the early 1900s. There's a big chance I will not get to read that book in the next 2-3 years, but by just purchasing it and having in my head all the internal conversation I tried to summarise above has give me an extra "intellectual" (for lack of a better word) something.

It's the best time to start seriously investing development resources in this alternative.
I think the concern this shows for workers livelihoods is something that much of the rest of the world could learn from. The implementation seems a bit inefficient though.
TLDR: It's treated like a driver's license.

If it's listed in the job requirements, then it's up to the applicant to prepare by getting vaccinated. If it's not listed as a requirement, then someone asking you to do it is not legally binding.
I did oversimplify to be sure, but . . .

The Pinephone is just a dev platform. It has completely obsolete hardware, but it's there to pave the way for more solid software to be used by better hardware in the near future.
Well, transcription is a the transference of information between mediums. Spoken to written. Spoken to recorded media. Written to other written. But strangley not written to spoken, so the analogy breaks down there.

But if you have the understanding that transcription is a copying to another media, then the jargon makes perfect sense. People used to dictate and have a secretary transcribe. But we don't do that any more. And like the sound of a typewrighter the verb "transcribe" has drifted out of common parlance and might therefor gone a bit stale as an analogy.
No phone.
Everything you said is not only false, it's deliberately evasive.

There's around a 90% chance it was intentionally modified and escaped one of the WIV labs (mice with humanized lungs were used for testing.) Even the moronic head of WHO, who's a doctor, admitted a couple of months ago that "obviously labs leak."

See my post above for more early details.

There's nothing wrong with blaming China, especially since they've been uncooperative with any investigation, and fed WHO false information until today (the previous WHO visitors to Wuhan were given a report by the CCP to use.) In fact, it's certain they're working on the next corona variant since that's the job of the WIV labs.

Is the problem on HN that only a few people know the timeline and facts, or are you folks wilfully blind? I'm genuinely curious how after 18 months posts like the above are still written.

One big problem across the developed world, which was later replicated in Asia is that high school exams morphed into university entry exams.

Go back to a feature phone. That's always an option. After all, we could all live just fine with them until 2007.
One problem is that there is a significant number of "nerds" who make money on Apple's platform. There's this quote: it's difficult to understand something if your salary depends on you not understanding it.
Android does the CSAM image scanning on the server if you sync your photos to the cloud. On iphone if you don’t use icloud there is no scanning. I would call that “same difference”.

If you’re running stock android you’re running a closed OS that can be set up to spy on you just as easily as iOS. The existence of AOSP does not confer any “protection” if you run stock android, because you can’t know what other code google added onto it.
They should be designed to be interoperable and each functional layer should be completely self sufficient, so that any particular module can be eliminated or modified without affecting underlying data.

Anti-theft and anti-abuse functionality needs to be baked in from the ground up, so that individuals have total control over their data, with governments able to maintain some absolutely minimal necessary baseline of record keeping.

For example:
A health department could build a vaccination status verification system, and be provided by the local government with the ability to signa citizen's record. Participation needs to be voluntary and easily reversible. At the same time, the health department should have an ephemeral record from which an accidentally reversed or deleted signature can be recovered. If someone gets their ID stolen, they can go to their local courthouse, get a new ID key, synchronize everything up to the time right before the compromise, sign off on deactivating the old key, and continue on with life.

Not only does it have to be private and secure, it has to allow for human fallibility and malice.

A system like this could be the basis for controlling law enforcement access to biometrics. If you have no criminal record, all fingerprint and DNA and other data could be restricted without a warrant, or voluntary participation, or legally structured access. Things like this would eliminate the practice of fingerprinting children, using facial recognition or DNA dragnets without explicit judicial permissions, meaning law enforcement access has to be baked in. If done right, it could mean every piece of information could be cryptographically segregated, and a record stored within the blockchain, forcing accountability in any government access and use of private data.

Best of all, it would allow secure digital voting. Instead of an election day, you could set a voting week or even month during which every citizen has the opportunity to cast their vote, then verify their selections. People would need to use the extended time frame to ensure their vote is accurate and their keys secure, and only have to go to a polling location if they have been compromised (or simply want to use paper. )

It would need to be wargamed extensively and over the course of at least a year, but we should be leveraging the best technology has to offer. It just needs to be better than what we have, and that's an abysmally low bar.
This is very interesting because it comes from the perspective of someone who cares so much about what they do at work that it bleeds into their personal life.

> never hear about WorkDocs rolling out a feature to the Frankfurt region — unless you’re using WorkDocs in Frankfurt

Personally I'd hate that. Send that info to my work email account for sure, but my private one? No way!

If I'm not currently being paid to think about my job, nothing should be trying to remind me of its existence.
Any bets on when the announcement will come that it's being delayed/put on hold indefinitely? They've completely lost control of the narrative at this point and that can't be helpful if they want to preserve the image they've cultivated for themselves of being pro-privacy.
> So even if 100% vaccination does not stop surges in covid hospitalisations, vaccines won't be considered ineffective, right?

Umm, of course?

If we had a vaccine for e.g. the flu, that cut hospitalizations in half, we would call that effective. Or maybe not - effective here is a very vague word. We'd more correctly say "this vaccine reduces hospitalizations by 50%".

If it were a particularly bad flu season and literally everyone got the flu (as well as everyone getting vaccinated), hospitals would be overwhelmed, because cutting in half isn't enough. But that wouldn't change the base fact - this hypothetical vaccine cut hospitalizations in half.
not really, the most advanced comercially available digital fpv video system can do at most 10km range (these systems are latency limited, sure there are 4g systems that can do more but you end up with hundreds of ms latency) also to maintain the high power draw these drones require you end up using lipo batteries that can give you at most 15 minutes of fight time, more typically somewere around 2-6 minutes. you can go with liion to get around 30 minutes but then you lose a lot of manouverability. this ofcourse assuming it was some sort of quadcopter. a plane can do more but is not as agile as the article suggests.
sure. they can track everyone to fight covid and enforce QRCODE and lockdowns but they need apple to track pedophiles that are on their files… After everything that we know about global mass spying you better wake up and understand that if they wanted to catch all pedophiles they would have done it years ago. CSAM is definitly to target people. theyll beta test it in china first then everywhere
This is basically right. Quite a lot of education is a waste, it's window-dressing actual learning.

For instance, you might have spent some time getting exam prep advice: read the instructions, skip questions that are hard and come back later, try to memorize this or that formula / molecule / map / argument, if it's multiple choice strike out obviously wrong answers, look for hints to part 2 in part 1, if you can't figure out the integral guess that it's 0 or 1 (LOL a lot of high school integrals are elegant).

You have to spend real time learning this kind of sharpening exercise in order to do exams, or you will get less than what you should get, given what you actually understand about a subject.

There's no value to this time. You'll never need to remember how to reverse a linked list, because in real life when it comes up, you will just find it in a browser. Similarly with most things that require a precise answer, the effort in sharpening the answer is way more than what might reasonably be worthwhile in a real-life setting. Eg. I needed a Bessel function at one point in my career. Could I write down its form from having seen it at uni? No, of course not. Did I spend time doing just that at uni? Yes.

The real damage is we end up not educating people. We give them a bunch of answers to memorize and never test them on how the question is important. Did anyone ever examine you on why complex numbers are a big deal? Or what the big gap between classical and quantum physics was? I bet you only had exam questions about how to do the calculations and derivations. Get a number or a formula, that's easy to test. Whether this formula makes sense to use, that's hard.

The part about education being positional is also important. There's quite a lot of jobs that could be done by someone with no degree at all, including mine. My first boss in the City still has no degree, and didn't need it despite options trading having a reputation for being mathematical. All that's happened is nobody wants to not go to uni, and nobody wants to hire a non-degree holder to trade options anymore, because both groups think that going to uni signals that you're smart. Neither group actually thinks you need any of the actual skills you learn in uni, though.
