>the company offered to let Fortnite back in the App Store if it agreed to the App Store rules.

Epic is not agreeing to the app store rules. They are appealing the decision because they *do not agree to the rules* and do not want to follow them. As long as that situation stands, Apple is not letting them back in.

If Epic drops the appeal and agrees to comply, then Apple has indicated they would let them in.

What kind of intelligence mission benefits from a fast flyby but cannot be performed by a satellite?

The orbits of satellites are known. The target can arrange activities to occur when there is not a satellite overhead. A fast flyby can occur at any time with little or no warning.

Running the FDE (or partial encryption) of the TPM would include the risk that a hardware defect on the mainboard would render the disks unreadable, right? Since it would be quite hard to get that key out of it.

Referring to abstract actors as "she" and "her" only alienates a very specific kind of reader.

Yes, fuel as coolant worked at around mach 3, but at mach 4+ the kerosene itself may not not be energetic enough to both sink heat, and produce more energy than the energy of incoming airflow.

I only wish that package maintainers (outside of OS distro) installed directly directly into /usr/local/bin but instead they wanted “in” on the /usr/bin placement. So, We lost there as this would have facilitated secondary signing of non-OS packages by OS distro.

Doesn’t help when Fedora started muddling (merging) /bin and /usr/bin. So, secondary signing for non-OS vendors just went out the window. https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/separate-usr-i...

Even systemd is just now complaining about that during boot up (if the /usr partition somehow got invalidated during bootup).

This multi-tiered */bin is that hallmark of Unix (and continuously the (Linux Filesystem Standard https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs-3.0.pdf ).

— Althou, systemd designer seems to disagree with this LFS approach. (IMHO, he needs to look deeper into the overall aspects of package signing architecture by OS-distros, and not just for Fedora) https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/TheCaseFor...

Now if Debian would just arrest the slide into a singular binary directory, all would be good.

Linux Distros are about to be ignoring this future need of multi-island/multi-signing of encryption/immutability.

No embedded Linux distro should want to be Windowized, much less the desktop Linux, unless they too seek this single island approach for immutably-verified/encrypted binaries of OS, vendors, and customers.

It isn't. Few people in the world are unfamiliar with the Latin alphabet, definitely not the Japanese or any other wealthy nation. And since most really poor countries use the Latin alphabet, often for colonial reasons, I don't really think there is any large group of people that aren't familiar with it.
Oh yeah completely agree. And its frustrating. I built a team from a group that had seem near 100% turnover over the previous 3 years. I have gotten at least 1-2 of them promotions.

I transitioned them to more of a "devops" style roles, pushing hard on Automation, documentation, removing silos and cut a lot of their big time suck things like refreshing non-prod environments down from 1 week to around 45 minutes. Even in the lead up to the pandemic, we saw a WFH demand coming, recognized we lacked the VPN capacity to do so and used FOSS tools to spin up mutliple new VPNs to handle a couple different security boundaries in a matter of hours to allow many to work from home.

We have rebuilt a lot of the "bones" of our infrastructure from day 1, mostly in our virtualization stack and DB's etc. And most of my team had gained some trust in my decision making. Externally we generally get really solid remarks in our ability to support staff/products and our resposniveness.

On the one hand I kind of know why i was snubbed for the job. Im younger (in my 30's) and it was a higher level role. And i have spent the core of my early career moving every 3-4 years as trends change to allow me to rebuild new things rather than "tending sheep" which im sure some saw as more a flight risk in a position where the previous holder was there for 30 years. It also came at a cost as I floated from more virtualization/storage roles to networking and then security centric leaving me more of a "master of none" in the eyes of many.

That notion is a large part of what has kept me here. Im relatively happy and i do feel I probably need to have a few more years of "stability" under my belt. But at what cost. I dont live in a tech center like the bay area, nor do i have any desire to. But that brings its own cultural differences.

The pandemic seems to have changed much of that. I would now be able to stay where I'm happy, in a relatively small town that lacks a "major" tech sector but possibly see a larger bump in compensation and get some more challenging or fulfilling roles offered. My current company, including my boss, seems to think I am here for the long term...I just am not so sure myself.

Again this is totally anecdotal, but I can totally see why others would be thinking the same way.

Satellites were great during the cold war when the targets were consistent, and the satellites could be put in orbits with good coverage of those areas (eg Russian military bases). Spy planes like the SR71 and U2 that fly high and fast to evade detection or destruction are essential for getting immediate photos of an area that may not have regular satellite coverage.

As I pointed out below, simplifications are difficult. Lots of OSM-derived basemaps are fine when you zoom in but look daft at small scales (for example check out https://www.baremaps.com/assets/demo.html for this phenomenon). So if this map provides you with a good look at a small scale, adding in the details should be fairly easy. Doing it the other way around seems much tougher.

Delphi and other Embarcadero products are still a thing. In Brazil, Delphi was the number 1 platform for several years, and there are still companies maintaining products using this technology. It was cheap at the time (compared to MS offerings) and very easy to use. Given the large number of products released with this platform, I imagine they will be able to stay in the market for a long time.

I am not an academic, so take my advice with a grain of salt, but I would simply reply that you cannot share data before publication, but they certainly can see the published data once it is public, and you could answer questions at that time.

Other than that, I don't see anything that implies retaliation. If I owned a product and people were potentially going to publish negative facts about it, I'd be asking for information, too. Not because I want a fight, but because it is simply good practice to understand people's concerns about your product, and have an opportunity to fix the problems.
It's a good idea, but i have the same problem with it as cremation and scattering of the ashes. I always thought of cemeteries as places for the living, not the dead. Places meant to keep memories alive. But maybe I'm wrong and we have better ways to do that today anyway. The idea from the article is in any case appealing for a lot of reasons.

This is inherently personal. I actually like the warmer evenings, and long evenings make socializing outside so much better. If the sun went down at 20:00 in the midst of summer, we'd loose that. There are very few to no days where I still find it too hot when I go to sleep.

Instead, we should stop trying to decide what's best for others, both by moving the clock forward and backward, and just use the closest full-hour approximation to solar time.

Code gets shared between projects all the time. Nothing in there specifically says that Fuchsia will replace Android.

In case you had problems comprehending it the first time, ChromeOS and Android were not *merged.*

The rumor has been around since 2015.

https://www.theverge.com/2015/10/29/9639950/google-combining...

Running ones' apps on another OS is not merging the two.

The ChromeOS/Android merger claims are still unsubstantiated. Pretty sure you'd find a fair number of AOSP/Android commits in the ChromeOS repos.

Still not convinced there's any actual evidence of Fuchsia replacing Android here.

On this point, can't you use some USB DAC ? I know nothing on this topic but there must be something that sits between "Raspberry Pi sound quality" and "multi thousands $ DAC".

A mandatory four day work week is just another way for crony capitalist elites to destroy small businesses by regulating them out of existence through high labour costs and entrenching the powerhouse corporations that can afford to take a hit but would love to see their competition cease to exist and create de facto monopolies through regulatory capture.

It’s also a self fulfilling prophecy to force UBI and create a slave class dependent on the government to survive. 1. Jack up costs through things like minimum wage, and four day work weeks, mandatory paid vacation and sick days, etc…2. Job market is decimated because small business basically becomes non existent and all other low wage jobs are replaced with robots, and millions of people are without work. Government swoops in and “saves” them, institutes UBI and voila - serfdom.

Let’s come back in at least 8 years or a decade and we will see if ‘Fuchsia’ actually replaces Android and even ChromeOS then.

I won’t be surprised if they do, given that is where they are heading.

It's almost never possible for any party to govern without a coalition (since we changed from FPP to MMP in 1996). The 2020 election was the first time since 1993 that any party won an outright majority of the seats, and they had unique circumstances to thank: pandemic success and an imploding main opposition party. This perhaps-overly-detailed article will give you a good picture: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_New_Zealand_general_elect...

There are a few comparison sites. https://policy.nz/ is one, but note that there are a bunch of minor parties that didn't get any seats (some of which just popped up for this election), so use the Wikipedia article above to get an idea of who actually mattered in the end.
This is the way.

The whole point of good object oriented design is that your class interfaces make it impossible to produce an invalid state of an instance. If you can produce a sequence of mutating or initialization method calls that leave a class with broken invariants then your interface needs work.

Incidentally, this is why the common "a square is a rectangle" example is usually broken. Calling setX() on a rectangle does not break invariants but calling setX() on a square does.

I haven't read the whole essay (stopped at "In detail"). So far, I agree with most of what Lennart said, it matches my analysis, except perhaps this:

> 3. The OS configuration and state (i.e. /etc/ and /var/) must be encrypted, and authenticated before they are used. The encryption key should be bound to the TPM device; i.e system data should be locked to a security concept belonging to the system, not the user.

Not sure you actually need a TPM for this, there are a few alternatives:

- Use a generic system configuration until you get to the user prompt. This doesn't require encrypting the partition, only authenticating it.

- After user authentication, either unlock the shared /etc configuration from a password stored in the encrypted user partition (could be protected by the TPM to avoid users leaking it).

- Or, the better (IMO) option is to get rid of that "shared" /etc, and allow each user to have a unique, system-wide set of parameters (with a "safe mode" in case they need to recover). Not allowing users to install arbitrary software while there are tools like overlayfs is a bit backwards IMO, unless there's a company policy, but in that case capabilities can be dropped before, or the user can be limited on a case-by-case basis.
I suggest you consult the HN Guidelines.

> This is a long feature piece. It's journalism

The style you are calling «journalism», others call "entertainment". The article does provide information, but the idea implied in the opening, of "bringing you somewhere" (as if fiction), clashes with the supposed intention of inform and comment (the «lightly pattering rain» is irrelevant to the story). If a journal is intended for recording idle remarks, its purpose may be artistic, if for annotations, informative, if for reasoning, analytical: the three can find an organic balance in a journal, finding a thread in the person of the writer. But the idle remarks are not required in the loci for information and analysis, where they are dissonant. Similarly, the "imagery" used as introduction clashes with the piece and looks like clumsy obedience to some weakly grounded convention.

That kind of imagery is not necessary in long feature pieces and journalism. And it mixes up registers with doubtful purpose and effect ("are we reasoning or are we feeling, imagining dreaming...?").

Simple. They changed from the 30 pin adaptor to Lightning 9 years ago. People complained to the high heavens about it. I recall Apple promising they would keep the new Lightning adaptor for at least 10 years. Guess what? When the new iPhones are released next year it will have been 10 years. The EU is probably aware of this situation and simply want to ensure Apple doesn't try to come up with some other solution. I don't think they needed to do that since Apple has already adopted USB-C on their iPads.

Bottom line? My prediction is next year's iPhone is going to have USB-C.
Many things go by the name of “Euclidean space” (basically the “flat” case of every kind of space, linear=vector, affine, topological, uniform, metric, topological manifold, algebraic variety, differential manifold, Riemannian, topological linear=vector, Banach manifold, countless others).

I (and probably the GP) think of “R^n with taxicab distance” as a metric space, which is indeed non-isometric to the “Euclidean metric space” as in “R^n with Euclidean distance”, thus can meaningfully be called non-Euclidean in this context.

You seem to be thinking of whether taxicab distance agrees with some preexisting, weaker structure on this structure’s notion of “Euclidean space”, like how the taxicab metric topology agrees with the topology of the “Euclidean topological space”, that is, “R^n with standard topology”, or how taxicab distance is translation-invariant thus an admissible norm on the “Euclidean vector space”, that is, “R^n with standard R-vector space structure”. In those senses taxicab distances are in fact fine in Euclidean spaces. (Note that this ceases to work as soon as you go into infinite dimensions, probably in any of the many, many ways to do so.)

Missile launch platforms greatly benefit from high speed and high altitude. A hypothetical Mach 6 aircraft at 100k feet will likely have at least double the A2A missile range of an F-16 at 30k ft launching the same missile . Given that most long range A2A missiles peak at Mach 5 it would be extremely difficult to engage such a platform.
There was a declassified manuals for one of Blackbird models from few years ago, and it wasn’t inconsistent with Mach 3.75 top speeds. Maybe they do 3.6669999 or 3.78925 but can’t be like it could go all the way to 22 flat out in a straight line.
