The binary idea of living and dying on the streets OR going to jail is equally hopeless, but allowing open drug scenes in places like SF is a disaster whichever way you look at it. Places like Amsterdam, Lisbon have liberal drug law but are v strict on public consumption and drug dealing.

I believe the answer is rural sobriety camps far from the dealers with rewards for those who have achieved sobriety. California spent 13 billion on homeless services in the last 3 years with even more spent since then. the result has been an explosion of homeless and drug usage. We are headed very rapidly in the wrong direction.
Sure. But I think the framework would need to emit a proper tag rather than the tag soup that it seemingly emits now. I can't see a win in expressing something in an idiomatic way, to have it translated to an unidiomatic output that mimics the behavior of the original idiomatic code.

What makes you think that I am random, I did brand analysis, that I am confident , that confidence is over the confidence of the people Apple paid, and those highly paid people concluded differently?

That comment looks like partly uneducated guess, partly a fallacy to refer to the “authorities of branding”. I’m always amazed to see people who assume that employees of large companies cannot make mistakes or that they have unlimited power over the decision making.
That is the rub though. The dialog to do this is basically 'done'. This means someone spent time and money to make this 'go away'? Why? Just leave it be seams reasonable?...

> You're saying you want to use violence up to and including murder to keep our sidewalks clean!

Because that's what you _are_ saying. Laws are enforced by the police, and they are able to be enforced by the police because the police are legally able to use force. I do not understand what other view there is to take on the issue. In my mind, it's not an opinion, it's a fact.

I have read that "hope is not a strategy" is a common aphorism amongst SREs at Google.
My personal opinion is that a large subset of adults is either unable or unwilling to accept that bad things can happen for no reason and there isn't always a solution.
It is exactly the issue.

The best guidance we have about these things are from the CDC. While they don't always get it right, they usually have a good explanation for their error when they don't.

It's a gigantic gulf to go from "they're wrong some of the time" to "I'm not going to get vaccinated, but if I do get sick, I'm going to go inject myself with horse paste because I trust whackjob talking heads on the internet more than licensed medical experts in the field."

The VAST majority of people who are resistant to masks and vaccinations are not doing this because they don't believe in the science. They're doing it because talking heads instructed them that to accept them as normal is an affront to their freedom.
Count your masks. My box of 10 3M masks (closed not taped shut) from Home depot only had 9 in it.

Honestly the trust damage is already done. They announced it, the genie is out of the bottle. I can never trust Apple as much as I did before. They are no longer the benevolent dictator of the walled garden. They have proven their judgement is fallible. They have proven that their customers interests do not matter to them as much as their own agenda. I'm not sure how they can ever fully recover from this, or even promote themselves as a privacy focused brand. That will always ring hollow.

This reminds me a bit of the DNS-over-HTTPS hand wringing as well. DoH points out that applications can run their own DNS and you can't easily control that behavior at a network level like with conventional DNS. That is pretty troubling from a technically literate user perspective but it's not actually new. Applications could always hard-code DNS. DNS-over-HTTPS just made us think about it.

Similarly Apple has complete control of your device. They always have, it's actually part of the value proposition. There has been a lot of debate about what Apple should or shouldn't do here but the fact is they could have pushed this out silently and it could be scanning your entire device right now, we just don't know. We have to trust Apple at their word and after their announcement that they would push this kind of capability I'm not sure how we can ever trust them again.

What if...

> After Microsoft objected to Brock's "exaggerated interpretation" of the agreement and informed Brock that his license was nontransferable, Brock sued for US$60 million. The ensuing lawsuit was highly technical and grew to fill hundreds of pages in the months leading up to trial. The trial began at the end of 1986 and lasted three weeks. An out-of-court settlement was reached while the jury was deliberating. Microsoft paid SCP US$925,000 and reclaimed its license for DOS.

Wow! $60M would have killed the 80's version of MicroSoft.
I think it's critical to understand that a single law can shift that window drastically. If Apple can allow for a small shift in that direction – however distasteful – it may prevent the larger shift caused by anti-privacy legislation.

This is insulting and trivially untrue. The Windows shell org has a number of excellent engineers. When I was at Microsoft it was one of the most senior and highest-tenured orgs. There are fantastic engineers such as Raymond Chen (https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/) and many more.

Do not mistake domains you don't understand as being bad at things. Programs and extensions that are 26 years old are still running strong on Windows 10 today. The economy runs on ancient tools that rely on that compatibility.

Throwing together a pretty context menu isn't as important as making sure that all of the UI elements are accessible to screen readers and other tools. It's also trivial compared to ensuring that old programs that assumed they could just click on the third menu item to make something happen keep working even if you redesign the menu.
The ranting in this post's HN comments is ridiculous.

> How do you know that your combination of methods is secure?

Because if you give me some hashes, some messages, and a black box that signs arbitrary things for a arbitrary public key (with my combination of methods), I can turn around and give you back either a preimage of one of the hashes or a second preimage of one of messages. Provable security is nice.

Still working on how to extend such a scheme to key agreement rather than just signing, admittedly.

Nope nope nope.

The first amendment has nothing to do with it. A big part of it is that type design was largely a European activity until the late nineteenth century/early twentieth century. American typefounders lived off copied designs (and even as America gave birth to Linn Boyd Benton, Bruce Rogers and Frederic Goudy, there was still a lot of stealing happening at the big American foundries (the innovation happening in the US tended to be more technical than artistic. American Monotype has approximately zero noteworthy typefaces created under its auspices, while its English counterpart had a long streak of notable designs released in the first half of the twentieth century which are responsible for the look of modern book typography).

This history of stealing designs for competitive reasons was a bit part of why there was resistance on the part of the big players in the industry to seriously pushing for typeface design protection. While Bitstream had Matthew Carter designing excellent faces for them (and overseeing licensed designs from ITC), the vast majority of their type designs (all the ones named style + number), were slavish clones of other companies' designs. The big companies make the bulk of their typeface income not from retail sales but from licensing deals (e.g., Apple and Microsoft made licensing deals with Adobe and Monotype respectively for most of their system fonts, although some smaller design houses like Hoefler & Co., Bigelow & Holmes and Tiro Typeworks (off the type of my head) have managed to get some of that licensing. The late Arthur Baker made the biggest part of his lifetime income from a licensing deal with HP.
I get your teacher was dumb, but technically it could be on the right side.

It all depends on whether you were writing it or saying it, "1 + 1 = 10" is true in binary but "one plus one equals ten" is not, not even in binary.
You would be mistaken. I'm no expert. But, I've been in SF long enough to talk to many homeless people there and read a bit on the subject.

Paranoia, drug dependence, coping self-delusion, self-destructive pride and sometimes genuine personal need cause a huge number of homeless people to outright refuse housing when offered.
Many parts of the USG require "veterans preference" for most positions, meaning they have no choice but to hire one. You can see the reasoning for it, but it limits your abilities to hire who you want.
Sounds like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_injector

> Jet injectors were used for mass vaccination, and as an alternative to needle syringes for diabetics to inject insulin. However, the World Health Organization no longer recommends jet injectors for vaccination due to risks of disease transmission.[1] Similar devices are used in other industries to inject grease or other fluid.
Having worked with the homeless, declining free housing may be the most sane thing to do depending on the offer.

An example from the past year in the bay area: A woman was offered a free room in a house with other homeless people. The doors did not have locks, and a someone who had raped her was living there. Some of the beds had bedbugs.

I know this sounds over the top but there's basically no oversight for a lot of these programs. Many are run by people just looking to get homeless people out of the way. A shocking number of free housing offerings are worse than a good camping setup.
> Distrust is different than "downright reject" and lumping the two together, painting it as a picture of "reasonable distrust," is being extremely favorable to those who simply have stopped engaging.

I agree that there are level of distrust, but these are not separate categories.

> Nobody who disagrees with them (that Covid is real, that masks have value, that the vaccine is worth getting...) is trustworthy by definition.

Why is it relevant to attack people who disagree with mainstream views as ‘untrustworthy by definition’?

Being wrong or misguided doesn’t make someone untrustworthy.

> That's not "distrust," that's not something that can be addressed simply by "oh I talked to some more people and now I believe that this isn't a case of the system abusing us."

It’s not clear what point you are making here.

> Rejecting the vaccine because you don't even understand it's described mechanism and so you fall victim to nonsense claims about "viral shedding" or "gene editing" is not being skeptical, it's being gullible.

Now you are changing the goalposts. Skepticism is not the same as distrust and not something I have mentioned.
We can stop saying it when the crows complain.
They did report that physical distancing increased in villages that were given masks, so that may explain it. Unfortunately they didn't untangle that effect? How do we know to what degree it was the masks vs increased distancing?
I don't really understand the global corporate structure. I guess you're right that much of these profits comes from other countries. Here's an idea; how about the workers in these countries get a pay raise?

Seriously. All that money these companies are making; it is exploitative profit. Even if distributing it among workers "only" rises the middle class a bit higher, at least that money goes into hands that have an immediate need for it. It not going to corporate buy-backs would be a win in itself.

I don't think the NCMEC shares numbers about how many of their reports result in actions by law enforcement agencies. They probably also don't really know, its kind of like a dragnet.

Also under the current "I'll know it when I see it" CSAM doctrine in US courts cartoons can actually be illegal and cartoons depicting the abuse of children are usually banned on most big media sharing platforms in the US, and most companies in the US won't host you or let you serve ads if you have that material. So yeah, it's not only muslim totalitarians that are ok with banning cartoons and punishing people for drawing them or sharing them, Uncle Sam may also send you to jail and deprive you of your rights if you draw the wrong thing.

> for instance with the SIMON/SPECK block cipher designs --- block ciphers, after all, are the lynchpin of secure systems.

The lynchpin to ciphers are the keys. That's the very definition--proof of security reduces to the question of whether you know the key or not.

Unless you exchange a database of one-time pads, you invariably need an RNG to generate keys for your ciphers. That's your lynchpin right there. The key is the lynchpin, and RNGs generate your keys. You don't need to feel it; it's cryptography 101. Granted, it's such a basic and fundamental aspect to secure systems that it usually gets lost in all the bike shedding.

If you can't put a number on a phenomenon that actually means anything, then saying "well, this is the best we have" is pretty weak.

You also said "at least a desire for" which may be your out.

I can give other metrics that have been studied, but I think the onus is on you now to justify your claim, or maybe admit that one can't define "innovation."
All good questions. Good user experience is subjective and hard to define what is “good”. Reading the book
“Design of everyday things” helped me think about what are good designs. In good designs, function dictates form- they are designed around how it is to be used.

I think desktop environments do think about user experience, and try to have a cohesive experience. Bad experience is easier to identify. Many programs, even major ones such as GIMP, libreoffice, or thunderbird don’t (in my opinion) prioritise user experience over features. As for blue sky thinking, while there are some interesting projects, I think linux just needs some consistency and a good baseline of UX to allow non technical consumers to easily use it. In many regards Apple gets this right on macOS (although maybe less so with recent changes, and with reduced options for power users), and many third party apps for Mac think carefully about their design. For the record, some unusual UX I like include concepts app (iOS), scrivener, iA writer, ‘bum too’ desktop environment, and pathways.nice.org.uk (niche)

I would like to financially donate as I lack time and necessary level of skill to directly help with projects.

The article is quite clear. The question is, why did they go backwards on functionality. They took a simple user interface and removed a single useful feature from it, and what remains is a much more tedious way to do the same thing. Why? What was the benefit?

How about an immunologist's take?

> I'm not a big fan of any of the current vaccines due to their low efficacy against variants, and especially because they trigger an initially weak immune response and are only effective against symptomatic covid-19. The initial weak immune response gives mutations more time to occur, in my rudimentary understanding. If this vaccine is only good at preventing symptomatic infection- does this mean it'll apply more selective pressure on even more variants?

I would assume the average hospitalized case has a longer course than the average non-hospitalized one - in which case, a vaccine that reduces risk of hospitalization seems to also reduce risk of mutations being spread on (since the time for mutations to develop and reproduce in a person is shorter).

There are plenty of options in between "person breaks law" and "person is the subject of lawful violence". They include things like warnings, fines, and the like. However, all _those_ things are backed by the possibility of the end result being violence. All of them follow a path of either the person doing what they're supposed to... or violence. The only variables are the number of steps until you get to violence... or the person doing what they're supposed to... or the rest of the society deciding to change the definition of "supposed to do".
Yes. Active Record ORMs (Rails, Django, etc.) are a plague that teaches devs to pretend data engineering isn't important.

IMO, the only valid use for them is storing configuration that somehow can't be kept in memory after reading config files. Actual "data" (content) should be kept in stable, readable formats.
