In some way I see it the same as buying organic food in a premium. First time I learned about people paying extra for organic I thought "but that's how people always used to eat especially if you grew up in a village".
Regardless of the motivation behind this change, bear in mind in whose interest the company and browser is working: The shareholders.

I can only think of one high-quality browser that belongs to a non profit. Mozilla Firefox. All money earned with it goes back to the browser. Sure, I’ve heard that executive may have been paid a subjectively “too high” salary and however true that may be: So far, no Executive who would actively question the mission and the core privacy principles has been able to stay for long.

The web is the most open, most unowned application platform out there. It’s too important for single-vendor control.

That's a further problem. That's the reason why you shouldn't accept closed platforms and closed-source software.

But it also doesn't lead to the conclusion that what Apple is trying to do here is good or even neutral.
well, the way to keep time with a sundial is to look at the shadow it casts. sun is the heat source here and the dial itself heats up in the process of casting a shadow.

also note that if there's no sun (no energy), time keeping functionality is severely limited.
Optimizations like that will be part of the next alpha release after the one I'm working on.
> You either do not understand or trying to avoid the question

I understand perfectly.

Google and Microsoft have been scanning everything in your account for the past decade and turning customers over to the police.

Apple is set to start scanning iCloud Photos and only iCloud Photos in the future.

They waited until they found a way to preserve your privacy until they were reasonably certain there was a real issue with what you were uploading to your online account and not just a false positive.

With their system, Apple cannot see the scan results until your device informs them that you have crossed the threshold of 30 images flagged as kiddie porn and hands over the encryption key for the scan results. They can't turn over scan result data to the feds before that, because they can't read it.

Google and Microsoft, on the other hand, would have to hand over an every account with a single false positive to anyone who issues a dragnet warrant since they carry out their scans on the server.
I would assume that elections isn't a guaranteed option in this though experiment.
macOS now has 4 toolkits to choose from.

Hmm, are you sure about that? IIRC, Firefox 90 had ability to remove cookies per exact subdomain in that view (i.e. account.google.com), since version 91 there's only an option to remove cookies for whole google.com domain...

That seems a little inefficient to pull in SQLite just so that you can have it lock a file, when you can just lock your own file, don't you think?

glances around nervously is flocking one of those "what's old is new again" concept that people are just now relearning? Surely a blog post on how not to have two concurrent cronjobs running is kind of a weird thing to read when some Linux grey beard figured this out in the 90's on their lunch break.
Including Microsoft own teams.

Manifests are a thing since Windows 2000, as they were also introduced to sort out registry issues, and go back into xcopy deployments.

Yet even Microsoft's own teams keep putting into the registry what should be in manifest files.

How on earth can we get out of lockdowns and get back to living our lives, unless we fully expect everyone to catch covid?

We've already proven time and time and time again you can't eradicate it with lockdowns (see Australia & NZ right now), so it will always be around. And we know vaccinated people can still pass it on to others.... so eventually everyone is going to have to have it if they want to interact with others.

I genuinely don't understand how life can go on any other way
From my observations, the most plausible explanation is that it's an organized campaign, augmented by many people unaware of the fact. Not cultural conquest, but sabotage.
I worked in IT for 10 years, and most of the time I had to work with Windows even in the server. I was also a gamer who played 3-4 hours a day.

I switched to Arch Linux and, outside of the few pain points which weren't a big deal for anyone who's used to "google, read docs, apply" workflow everything went great!

I would be hopeful for the future of gaming on Linux, and then you see things like kernel-level anti-cheating and Valorant adapting their anti-cheat to support TPM 2.0. I'm not a gamer anymore (at least not as much as I used to play) but stuff like that make me shrug my shoulders. 1 step forward, 2 steps back.
If your response is "well, you can generally leave your house to go for a walk" then it isn't really appropriate to respond with sarcasm.

In Australia we've had the army on the streets to enforce the lockdowns. It is pretty undeniable that there have been massive curtailments of freedom, geography dependent.

> Please wear a mask

Again, not sure where you are - but in my experience there haven't been a lot of "please"s. And when there have been it isn't a please-please, it is a I'm-pretending-this-isn't-a-command please. I saw a woman get booted off a tram for not having a mask; the police were certainly not just asking.
This isn't universal, but the best places have peers do some or most of the interviewing.

So only interacting with HR/management would be a red flag for me.
I guess that if you speak Chinese as a first language you're not expecting to need to distinguish between 他 and 她when speaking, so it's harder to remember when speaking a language that has two different pronunciations.

I believe older Chinese used 他as a fever neutral pronoun and using 她 is a fairly recent change to mimic western languages.
If you ignore the American political spectrum for a hot minute and get down to the core of it, a practical definition of "left" and "right" is "no hierarchy" vs "hierarchy". This holds true in economics as well as social issues:

Racism is a system of hierarchy where one race is inherently good and normal and others are deviations from that, or at least every race is good or bad in some ways and there is an implied value judgement in every assertion about them. Not every person doing a racism necessarily fully commits to racial pseudoscience but if pressed they'll have to justify their conceptions by citing them. Racial mixing of course is unacceptable as it goes against this order and since the racial social castes are a natural order, any attempt to overcome them is bad and anyone making it further than their kind is expected to should either be celebrated for their excellence (and everyone else be held to their standard to demonstrate their insufficiency) or be viewed with suspicion because they probably cheated or got handouts.

Sexism is a sexual hierarchy with women being one way, men another and everyone who doesn't neatly fit into either category being deviant and a troublemaker. It's not so much about one sex being better at all things than the other, much like racism, but about there being a natural order and everything being well as long as people follow it.

Economic right wing thought posits that there is a natural order in that poverty is largely a failure of the individual and can be overcome with sheer will so wealth is the just spoils of success and personal quality and charity is the only acceptable form of welfare because it is for the wealthy to decide how to allocate their deserved riches.

This is also why right-wing people have recently picked up the term "Marxist" (or even "Neomarxist") to describe not just socialists but also progressives in general, even when they lean economically more right-wing than left.

The question of how you align within that spectrum is mostly a question of whether you think a natural order exists and/or should be enforced in each of these dimensions (and there are probably more). Most Democrats don't want to abolish private ownership, they just want more regulations to shift some of the wealth to the lower classes, i.e. balance out the hierarchy rather than getting rid of it. They are however more likely to be opposed to the idea of a natural order in social questions.
>I don't want to worry about if binary x won't run and be stuck compiling it for BSD.

Again you did not read, it's a Emulation-Layer you can run the binary (compiled on linux) on freebsd.

>If your looking to build Docker images locally to test in a kubernetes cluster

Why build them locally if you have a cluster in the first place? It's like saying No to Linux because i cannot test my Jails on it.

>What about stern, kubie, and the hundred other cli tools that makes managing a cluster much easier?

I don't know, but i use normally a management station with all the tools and connect with mosh to it. This way i have the freedom to use whatever OS or Device i want.

> I'd rather spend my time elsewhere than worrying or running into issues using a esoteric operating system.

No problem with that, some people love operating-systems and explore them as a hobby like me, and others just want to work.
Super interesting. But what about the case where the hypothetical government develops the system themselves and requires apple to add it to their product? Of course apple could deny and possibly be blocked from operating in that market. I just find the whole situation fascinating
Yes. That was Hoover and the FBI. The CIA also did some domestic stuff, more during the 1960s than later. NSA, not so much.

There wasn't much wiretapping in the US before the advent of electronic central offices. Phone switches just weren't equipped for it. Somebody had to physically connect wires to listen in. (Yes, you could listen to a few lines remotely using the test gear. Telcos hated that, because it tied up the automatic line insulation test equipment, COs had only 2 to 4 sets of that, each set took up three racks, and each could only do one line at a time.) In Guliani's old book about taking down the New York mob, he writes about the government having to pay phone bills to New York Telephone for wiretap lines. Once they didn't pay the bill, and the billing system billed the party being tapped. That's where the pressure for CALEA and built-in wiretapping began.
Striving and succeeding at a personal goal is good for the soul. Feeling a sense of purpose at work and in life is good for the soul.
Nope.

Apple prefers to keep that sort of data private, and a kiddie porn false positive is not the sort of data that should be vulnerable to misuse by anyone who issues a dragnet warrant.

Google's data hordes are already widely abused today.

>Google says geofence warrants make up one-quarter of all US demands

https://techcrunch.com/2021/08/19/google-geofence-warrants/

Another example would be that Google scans all your photos to identify the people in them and retains that data on their servers, while Apple chooses to perform those sorts of actions on your own device without uploading it to their servers.

I'm sure someone will come up with a tool to fix a Windows feature yet again (like they did with Start shell). But we have to judge the intention of the original product designer and all I see is regress.
Of course, you can coups, you can have wars etc. That's why people should watch out to keep the Democracy intact, go vote and have a healthy level of interest to the political processes.

You forgot ATL, and the WinRT evolution since Windows 8.

As for Gtk and Qt, don't throw rocks when the roof is made of thin glass.

All Gtk+ versions require major rewrites and now they even dropped Glade, with the replacement coming who knows when.

Qt, is now focusing on QML instead of C++ Widgets and also requires rewrites across versions.
Hahahaha the marketplace is pure gold on that site. I am all in
Did not know. Thanks for sharing this. This looks mighty useful.
AFAIR, the original idea of having silos came from Sloan/GM. Originally the groups were organized by function to reduce costs and streamline production. Say motors, wheels, windshields, etc. But this created problems because the end product lines didn't have much power over these groups. Some of these groups even became defiant as they were in high demand so they played the different product lines against each other.

The solution was to integrate vertically from the end product lines. So each of Chevrolet/Pontiac/Cadillac/Buick would have its dedicated teams for all it's neededs. No more delays and innovation was much faster. This turned GM from a mess to beating Ford.

The problem is this was seen as the ultimate organizational structure and Business Schools love magic recipes.

But I've seen the same problems in IT companies with massive Dev, QA, Production teams who end up antagonizing. Prom passive aggression (e.g. delaying approvals) to the occasional openly sabotaging (e.g. approving faulty releases). From experience, QA drifts into being the most political, Dev drifts into carelessness, and Production/Ops ends up over-reacting. This can be solved by integrating vertically.

But there is no silver bullet in organizational structures. There are many factors like culture, what's the product/service, the size of the organization, the geographical distribution of the teams and organization, and what kind of company it is (e.g. lean vs. moonshot).

Device belongs to you, but software belongs to the Apple. If you want your device to fully belong to you, you need to find a device supporting software which you can control. Otherwise you're at corporation mercy when it comes to privacy and other sensitive topics.
Reframing the analysis helps show that your thoughts still fit within the proposed model:

Sundials and astronomical observations are not principle mechanisms of clocks.. they are a window of observation into the clock system of moving planetary bodies. Those planetary bodies indeed follow the thermodynamic principles outlined.

Imagine you had a rotating disc occluding a light source with a thin slot cut in the disc such that every rotation at one small interval the light source is visible. Rotate it using, say, a coiled spring, and you have a clock, revealing a pulse of light with a constant frequency. This is easy enough to fit into the mold of a thermodynamic clock as proposed in the article.

Now, we can think of earth orbiting the sun similarly to our disc rotating in front of the light source…. Every time earth rotates on its axis, half is exposed to the light and half is not…. Quite a wide ‘slot’ cut into our planetary ‘disc’, not useful for much more than knowing what day it is.

All a sundial does is narrow that ‘slot’ to make a more accurate observation of our planetary clock’s state.

Same goes for observing other planets / stars etc. While these planetary motions appear to be ‘regular and sustained’ on our timescales, they are still subject to the same thermodynamic principles as all other matter, and reach lower entropy over time, until the heat death of the universe :(

Someone posted about two bodies orbiting each other, and not know time forward from backward.. again, you can’t ignore physics, those orbits will measurably and irreversibly decay over time until the bodies collide.. just not on timescales that would effect our species using them as clocks!

Yes, having worked in a FAANG I actually enjoyed the fact that you're measured in a somewhat standardized way. After delivering enough impact I usually took a step back and chilled for a few weeks. Didn't take vacation, just arrived to the office to chat with friends and play ping pong.
Sometimes when I felt like it, I continued to grind towards the next expectations level for the cash bonus, but most of the times it wasn't worth it and I just preferred taking a rest.

> I can't understand why so many people see a US company try to spy on US citizens and say China must be at fault.

This is extremely common - i.e. blame the immigrants stealing jobs, blame the muslims for eroding our religious institutions, blame literally anyone but "us". That's because it's so much easier to blame someone else for our own societal problems.

They're trying to use a system created in the 1700s in the 21st century. They're out of touch.

Back then, if you wanted to copy a book, you'd have to do it by hand. You'd need to literally write the words into a new book. Copyright infringement at scale required industrial hardware like printing presses. Distribution required physically moving stuff around.

It's the 21st century now. Computers exist and nearly everyone has one. Copying data is a fundamental operation. It's as easy as copy and paste. We can easily create millions of copies of any data in seconds, filling up entire hard drives if we want. We can transmit these copies over the network to any number of computers at negligible costs.

These copyright people are so out of touch with reality it hurts. The level of tyranny required to stop this would give any free society pause.

Just because only Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition sees Krishna as the original form of God. Does not mean other Hindu philosophies don't either. Goto any Sanatan Temple and they will have his Deity and preach the one accepted scripture the Gita which also states he is the highest form. Many other traditions accept Vishnu's forms as the highest. The concept of ism, Vaishnavism and Shiavism is very much a British classification using English language words.
Conservatives moved to the Republican party by the sixties. Look up Strom Thurman for example.

The Nazis had help from the left at their inception, but murdered them later to gain approval from finance and law enforcement grous to consolidate power. Look up the Night of the Long Knives. The Nazis that accomplished everything we're decidedly right-wing, despite recent attempts to reverse that impression.

Ngl, really just drinking atm.

All of the stuff that sounds cool I want to get into I really can’t for one reason or another. Often this comes down to requiring me to own property or land I can use and modify, which while I suppose I could obtain, would require a level of settling I’m not comfortable with right now.
While you are semantically correct, you're ignoring the actual phenomenon that is being discussed.

Whether or not a literal majority of white, middle-class, left-leaning Americans believe in Critical Race Theory or The Patriarchy is irrelevant. 20 years ago it was only discussed in Academia, whereas now these theories hold a significant influence over many peoples' political, business and social lives.
Yeah its interesting how each mainframe works like its own small distributed system while being a quite centralized one in reality.
Well, first of all, I personally am not liberal and am the OP. I think both sides, left and right, are blazing idiots. Only someone on the outside can see this.

I agree that you can't be for or against something depending on what political affiliations are. However, it is the Republicans that are doing this, in this case. They are FOR allowing a baker to refuse to bake a cake for a gay wedding because it is their right and their business can do what they want to do, but are against GoDaddy from kicking them off their private platform. That's what I'm saying. If Zuckerburg or Youtube go conservative, then they can ban liberals.

The thing is, is that with the internet, it is so easy to create your own site, your own thing. For both sides.

However, there is something that both sides are not allowed to do is to refuse service to protected classes. This includes by race, sex, age, etc. These are things that businesses don't control, and can't decide. This was done by Congress.

Furthermore, local governments CAN ban companies from starting in their own town or city, no matter what the private citizen things he or she can do. Towns or cities have zoning laws, for example. My town, you can only open an auto repair shop on certain roads, unless grandfathered in, of course. Towns or cities can completely ban industries. You can open a strip club in San Jose Califoria, but not in Los Altos California.

And, what I am saying is that the conservatives/Republicans got the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which allows people and companies to do things that they have a deeply held religious conviction about, which is why the Satanic Temple said that it is there deeply held religious conviction that women should have access to birth control and abortions.

But, if you want me to go off on the retardedness of liberals, I'm more than happy to do that, too. It's just at this point, it is the conservatives turn for me.
