OnePlus has already improved on USB-C. It's completely proprietary, but is negotiated, and the cable can be used just fine for other purposes (my S/O saw mine and also wanted a fancy red cable).

But, yeah. Innovation will now happen at the cadence of EU law: which is technically a good thing for e-waste.
It's not about access to information. It's about removing the possibility of being confused for a spokesperson of Google's.

This is in contrast to comments you see here like "hi, Ben Foobar from [company being discussed] here", where the company is being formally represented and communicating with HN.

Naturally Google doesn't engage this way on HN, but the disclaimer is written out of habit and an abundance of caution.
It’s not uBlock, but I’ve found AdGuard to be very effective at blocking ads on mobile safari.
Crypto Checkout Platform enabling Peer to Peer Crypto transfers
Are there any Plug-Play solutions for Crypto Checkout which can enable's Peer to Peer Crypto transfer and can be integrated over API's ?
Ok, so what's bigger than a football? A basketball? I don't really play sports.
Try telling that to a platform with a different endian format.
. . .During device set up, with soft language, amidst a slew of other settings that have a “default” big blue button that consents while a tiny text link that goes into “customise” settings.

You should read the requirements and the user flow for App tracking transparency. Apple prohibits the permission dialog from firing more than three times in a long window. The default big button is negative consent. The language is “Ask app not to track”

It’s ridiculous that the owner of the platform gets to suppress competition that way without regulators getting involved.
I'm pretty convinced the marginal value of ads to most companies is shit, but this is a rat race that chronic low aggregate demand has forced them to partake in.
So glad I stumbled down this rabbit hole and found your comment; a fulfillment email on a Kickstarter project I backed was flagged as spam! I haven’t checked my spam folder in years, but that unfortunately changes as of today.
People don’t “want” the free content at the cost of privacy infringing surveillance and toxic behavior manipulation.

These companies need to find a better business model, otherwise they are about to go the way of the dodo.
Yes it's unbelievable that gmail would send an email to spam when it's from a person with whom i have had prior correspondence with.

Clearly shows they give more weight to things like scanning, IP reputation, etc vs common sense.
I often have random people from overseas with business development or marketing titles from unknown companies view my profile - I’ve always suspected they browse everyone and build a big database hoping to sell it or something.. is this it?
Or in other words, a Little at a time adds up to a lot.
That's one way to look at it, and it's easy to see that conclusion. Nobody wants to pay for anything they don't have to, so it is a fair conclusion.

However, it could also be that people are sick and tired of having all of the data collected with no control over how it is used. It could be initially used for one thing, but then re-accessed later when something new the data is determined useful. It could even be used by a different company than what originally collected it.

When asked in a manner that makes it obvious it is tracking, people clearly are saying no. When phrased in a manner like 'allow us to offer you deals', as it has been in the past, it is less obvious and people have just shrugged their shoulders and said "whatevs just stop bugging me".
Good. This will just accelerate the shift to crypto, where I can pay per page or per click, just tiny amount at a time.
We're built on top of Agora at the moment. We saw some super promising numbers in the sub-100 range but I didn't thoroughly test. Their SD-RTN whitepaper(1) makes claims nowhere near that bold, so I will update accordingly

I appreciate the design of this blog.
I have a slightly more cynical take on this than it seems most of Hacker News does.

Facebook had found a way to monetize it's iOS app without Apple getting a 30% cut.

Apple decided to cut that off to prevent Facebook from making money without Apple taking their cut. The fact that Apple can sell this to users as "privacy" is all the better for Apple.

At the end of the day Apple is still a corporation. They are beholden to shareholders, not privacy advocates. Apple will maximize profits and has found a way to cut off revenue to competitor and breed goodwill at the same time.

Judging by this comments thread, it is working very well.
If private companies spying on you is "surveillance capitalism", then the NSA spying on you is surveillance socialism?
If we actually had powerful consumer-laborers (imagine if employers applied to you! Or there was an central labor marketplace and the market cleared! What a foreign world.) companies would have no money left over for ads as they were too busy competing on product quality with low margins.

God, I would HATE if the US follows the EU with this craziness. I'm already sick of the cookie popups, now layer on the GDPR insanity and we will definitely lose the privacy fight to users who will be sick of this nonsense as well.

I've seen studies that show crap like GDPR (which makes basically all normal interaction cumbersome) has like 10% of folks clicking around to "opt-out" while 90% can't be bothered. And of course, you COULD just clear your own cookies.

There is no more real security in the EU. Your mental health records will be leaked there. The EU will spy on you like crazy. And more.
My intention was not to go into ivermecitin at all but to question dynamically changing 'report issues' to 'India success [story]' linking to a video promoting Ivermecitin.

The developer never addressed that but struck with discussing quote, 'to bring awareness to a story that has so far been suppressed', unquote. Forcing me to rebut their statements.

This extension is primarily used by those with accessibility issues, especially those who are visually impaired if changing a link dynamically to promote an agenda which has nothing to do with the extension is not deceptive then I don't know what deceptive is.

I don't know what aspect of it was unprofessional on my side, I'll try to address it if you can tell me.

The answer is midway through the article "Sitting with my relatives and the lamas, I remembered that The Tibetan Book of the Dead is meant to be as much for the living as the dead. Bardo is generally viewed as the journey from death to rebirth, but birth to death is also a bardo."

Like many traditions surrounding death, it has nothing to do with the one who has passed but rather is a process for those still living to grieve and/or reflect upon their own lives.

So why is this on HN? Well, probably because it has generally been a place for intellectual curiosity of all types.
That’s effectively what Sourcetrail/Coati does in C/C++. Coati was super-helpful for me many years ago when I had to dissect and analyze some crappy vendor code. It also helped me get up to speed on a bunch of C++ spaghetti code on the same project. They hit the nail on the head with their tool and I’ve been using it off and on ever since. I’m actually wondering now if it could be used to analyze Yocto project dependencies and build steps.
"Concern over Facebook’s ability to weather Apple’s attack"

It's funny how this is described clearly shows how it is viewed by the writer/speaker. Attack is definitely not neutral.

That's not a sustainable solution. You should definitely do it, because ad networks are cesspools of lies, fraud, and malware, but let's not pretend that it's an answer to the question of where the money to pay for all this cool stuff comes from.
You can use HyperV to get around that, if youre inclined to do so.
Then do it till you get over it. You’re just so comfortable being a pansy, it disgusts me.
Are there any partial mitigations you can take until these are patched?
I really hope this is the plot to a Black Mirror episode and not real life.
It's hardly 'perfect historical proof', not to diminish the seriousness of the vulnerability. But more importantly, the mechanism matters a great deal. This particular vulnerability requires the install of a malicious app, a much higher bar than a 'drive by' exploitation. This leaves a trace and exposes the attacker to consequences. No (statistically speaking) app producer with any interest in continuing to use the platform would deploy such an exploit even if they had access to it.
Yes, and this has happened in the past, where Google emails ended up in the spam folder even for users who never marked them as spam. They should’ve learned from that already.
I did similar but more for lifestyle reasons. We moved Sydney to Brisbane so we could stay in reasonable range to a major city, we are ~1hr to the CBD. If you want to stay close to Sydney look at land behind central coast if not already, that is quite nice. We did that but were a couple years late to the price boom there so our land size expectation didn't meet the budget we had once we went property hunting.

While not reason for moving we did discuss climate change as choice factor. While lots of variables and Brisbane being a couple degrees warmer on average was a factor, though we felt its generally a more stable temperature range and doesn't get the peaks of Sydney so may become more like Cairns type thing going forward, still liveable with temp raises and hopefully not huge peaks inland rural gets. Also being near the coast is an advantage for stability. Humidity is a downside and we'll likely see cyclones coming further south but Id prefer that and rainfall than moving to rural NSW that will likely experience increased droughts vs here.

For the network of friends, obviously you want to keep that but we notice how farm life makes us much more a family unit in comparison to city life where there is more options and people. And for us the local rural community has become a great network. We make a conscious effort (as well as enjoy it) to entertain, organise events and help people out to build on this.

Regarding 'grow most of the food we eat' at the risk of telling you what you know, be aware this is a huge time sink. If you are both working + kids this will be difficult. You will also need heaps of water. A small creek, couple of regular dams or household tanks probably wont cut it. Make sure water is in over-abundance or you can add a bunch of storage/bore etc some way. Also be prepared for looking after the property to take over your life, especially if you are planning for livestock vs a bush block.

Overall we are very happy with having done the move. Even if work or other forced us back to the city I would be glad to have had the experience.

Good luck finding your tree change!

Tinygo produces very small binaries (kb rather than mb), through using the LLVM tool chain (which does tree shaking), and only (presently) supporting a subset of the standard library.

Plus their own (simplified) subset of the standard library, which is getting more comprehensive over time, but is nowhere near complete yet.
It's hardly abuse - their return policy was a "lifetime warranty", if they weren't willing to honour it after 10 years then they shouldn't have advertised it as such.

Looks like GP might be outta luck though - LL Bean scrapped their lifetime warranty back in 2018 [1]. Not sure how retroactive limitations on warranty works in the US.

I just started testing glucose this last week, for health and training purposes. Of course, it just started to get cold in the mornings, and I wake early, so I’m dehydrated, cold and stiff. It takes a bit of water drinking and bodyweight-squatting and arm rubbing to get vigorous circulation for a good drop of blood. I haven’t figured out how to store and dispose of the lances yet, and the bother of it all makes me very sympathetic to those who aren’t doing it for fun and gains.

A few times every year, there's a ton of hype about some new noninvasive device, and the newbies get a bit worried, but the old timers just shrug it off.

We (humanity) will literally be able to regrow new pancreases with stem cells before we have accurate noninvasive blood glucose devices. Even Tim Cook with unlimited resources at his disposal admitted it's a much harder than they thought.

That said, I think there's a large market for people without diabetes who are interested in their blood glucose and who may not need super-accurate readings. For example, as a long distance runner, it'd be super helpful to know if my blood sugar is trending down before I bottom out, so I can know when to eat a gel pack, etc. It would also be useful for people trying to lose weight to learn how their eating habits and exercise affect their blood sugar levels.

Noninvasive devices may be better for this group of people who don't need the devices to be accurate enough to make decisions about insulin-dosing.

Is there a point to this...? Or did you just want to crap on GDPR?

Not saying it's good or bad. But just...relevance?
You're basically suggesting no internet or networks, ever. No company will agree to perpetual support of anything. It's not practical or financially viable to do so.
Shame, but good on them for open sourcing it (I realise they did a couple of years ago but it's still good that someone can pick it up if they want to).
Completely aware of that. Just a weird perception thing for me.
The link, and the custom filter page that it links to, only talk about filtering by sender address and subject line, not by email content. (Although the Subject header is part of the email body.)
It doesn't seem to. My current place is all in on AWS and we have about 6 "DevOps" people dedicated to dealing with it all.

Last place we did pretty similar stuff with 3 data centers, all self hosted, self managed, mostly OSS stuff with about 6 sysadmins and way less hassle.
Positions past senior have existed much longer than 5 or 6 years at Amazon.
This is an interesting one since it may be more about market timing than technology. Doing a bit more research but it is likely they are getting the valuation based on LCFS (CA) and 45Q (Federal/IRS) carbon capture credits in addition to the potential of displacing jet fuel.
If they toss a CV based on that, then I don't think I'd like being there.

If they don't 'looked at my résumé little more carefully' in advance, I don't think I'd like working there. I do appreciate some things do sometimes squeeze time, hence the question and the something redeeming, but that's an exception not a rule, and far too many treat it as a rule. "I'm so busy" is an ego failure; sometimes, often, an applicant feels (or is) subordinated to that - could go so far as to call it passive aggressive fazing - a similar question by the interviewer could be asked in a far different manner.

Don’t update your apps till after Apple releases a patch. The first two are API calls that apps can make.

An exploit wishing to exploit these vulnerabilities has to be coded to make these calls. Most apps don’t dynamically construct arbitrary API calls. In fact, you can’t do that in Swift AFAIK. You have to drop to Objective-C or C to do that.

So most apps need to be updated to exploit the vulnerability. The only exceptions would be apps that are intentionally constructed to call arbitrary APIs or at least with arbitrary parameters. The first would be a violation of developer agreements but that hasn’t stopped people in the past. Also, these aren’t even private APIs. These are public APIs that got exploited due to not properly checking parameters/entitlements.

I wonder if Apple isn’t running static analysis tools right now to look for these vulnerabilities against all apps.

Wow, it's really interesting to read how clueless folks are here on HN.

The reality is kortilla is the same person that if AWS deletes all their data when they hit their "cap" to stop the billing will be on here complaining.

Payment method not go through? Hit your cap? To stop charges AWS needs to delete forever almost everything in your account. All your S3 data gone. All your backups / databases and archives gone.

Oh - you actually DON'T want them to blow up your platform? Maybe they could provide instead a billing console

https://console.aws.amazon.com/billing/home

or maybe alerts and alarms?

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitori...

Cost or usage budgets (and many more)?

AWS Budgets (includes alarming options).

Some folks seem to have almost no clue about what AWS customers who pay the billions want. Is there ANY chance that AWS listens to its paying customers? Maybe has become successful by doing so (at the cost of total feature sprawl in my view?).

My quick trick is to login a day or two after I think things are shut down and look at projected bill and current month billing. I've left some very large instances running a time or two, easy to turn off.

And with billions of requests (PER SECOND) on the aws network, there is NO WAY they are doing real time billing. That is not happening. Look for daily aggregation and similar. Just the scale of permissioning on API calls must be insane per day. These are going to need to be doing local counters that aggregate periodically.

I do wish they'd maybe aggregate 4x per day (6 hours).

The Fed is in complete control of the Fed Funds rate. Whenever they set for the target, they hit it. Can we at least agree on that?

Look at the chart I posted above. 1969, 1973, 1979, 1989, 2000, 2006. All of these are a case of the Fed Funds rate being raised above the 30 year.

Only in 2019 do we see a Treasury yield falling into the rate, but they did snuggle up to allow that to happen.

I think you are confused because normally when people talk about the yield curve, they are looking at the 3mo-10yr treasuries. I'm not here. I'm comparing between the Fed Funds Rate and the 30 year. This is another form of a yield curve. The shortest duration to the longest duration. This curve, if the Fed wishes, never has to invert. They can always step in and react and get it to not invert. And yet, 6 months before every recession in the past 50 years, it inverted.
It is abuse. The warranty wasn’t “free shoes for life.” If a pair of hiking boots lasts more than a decade (his comment seems to imply they’ve already lasted a decade) that’s a normal lifespan, not a problem.

Of course, one could always they weren’t satisfied and return it. But clearly they were satisfied enough to use them for 10+ years. I think it’s justifiable to call that abuse. And clearly people like that are the reason LL Bean (and REI) had to change their policy.
That's not how China works. Maybe you're thinking about the Soviet model, but China hasn't followed that for 40 years now.
