Well, first off, big developers are known to occasionally ship features that Apple wouldn't like. Facebook used their enterprise cert to ship a spyware VPN, and Epic used a hotfix to ship a direct payments feature in Fortnite. So there's no reason to treat Adobe or Microsoft as more trustworthy based on reputation when you're specifically imposing business requirements on them that they won't like. If you're not looking at what they submit, eventually they are going to try and ship something under Apple's nose.

Second, Apple really hates the idea of special rules for specific developers. When they make an exception for, say, Kindle; they don't just approve Kindle. They change the App Store rules to say "apps that are just viewing content purchased on other devices don't have to use IAP". The closest thing they have to special rules are entitlements; things like Zoom's special camera multitasking entitlement comes to mind. However, even that ultimately wound up being something other developers of video chat apps could ask for, they just didn't say anything about it until they got called out on it.

The 1Password example you cite is plain 'ol trademark infringement. I imagine Apple isn't particularly interested in doing trademark enforcement for third parties, though I'm pretty sure they wrote the rules to allow them to do exactly that. This is definitely something where Apple could be more proactive, but there's a limit to how much they can do before you get people complaining about Apple going overboard.
For the state to not tolerate any violence, it must prevent violence among its citizens and from foreign attackers. The only way we have that works is using violence to restrain criminals, or fight against enemy armies. We don't have any perfect safety shield that can protect everyone without harming the attackers, or to prevent people from doing violent acts without physically restraining them (violence).

Thing is a bit complicated. I actually worked with a middleman, this middleman act as the "certificate authority" - signing up brands and dispatching orders to printing company(ies). So the printing companies don't know what the matching pattern is. It was five years ago and I have since moved on.
I don't do estimates. I put anchor dates months in advance, and track progress with the different teams through weeklies.

Project planning that breaks tasks down into granular dates just begs everyone to disrespect it once dates inevitably start slipping. Don't do that, just keep an eye on the important dates and give your teams the headroom to work.

In your case I'd set strategic goals for the year to align with the business, then plan anchor dates (such as key releases) on a month or two month level for the entire year, then work back dependency and tech roadmap from there.

Also keep some capacity in reserve. Plan your yearly goals conservatively but your anchor dates a bit more aggressively.

Then once the plan is in place, keep track through weeklies or something unobtrusive like that.
I would be surprised if the CIA didn't have all the options studied and planned out, ready to present should that option be selected by 'management'. It's what they do, and not a surprise that they did it in this case.
I had lots of issues with MS, only with recipients in their free services like outlook.com, Hotmail and live. Always soft blocked because they said my mailserver didn't have enough 'reputation'. Opening a ticket got it unblocked but it happened again a few months later. Drove me crazy. Strange enough corporate O365 recipients (my work uses it) worked fine always.

I'm 100% sure no spam was sent by my server as everything was logged.
I suggest you look into the companies that are actually hiring and getting the bulk of the H1B visas. Because it may surprise you, it's not top tier tech engineers at Facebook, Apple, etc. It's companies like InfoSys and Cognizant. [1]

The business model of these companies is to provide workers at a cost below what it costs in the US. This business model is a big reason why they are so successful. At scale these companies drive cost, and wages down. US workers then need to accept lower paying jobs. The worst thing about it is the wage depression here is most felt by the low-tier tech workers, not the well paid SV engineers.

And they don't always follow the rules either. Infosys and Cognizant have been caught up in legal trouble for visa fraud. [2]

>but raising children has become increasingly complicated with the eroding middle class and desire to have fewer babies.

False premise. Lots of Americans want to have kids, they just can't afford it [0]. This reality hits immigrant families too. Unless housing, childcare, healthcare, and higher education are once again made affordable to the middle class, mass immigation is and will remain an economic Ponzi scheme.

Yes, I was surprised because I thought that what people above were saying.
One of the biggest failures of COVIDSafe in Australia was that it was so heavily bashed by everyone on it's initial release. Anyone who was anyone binned it as soon as it was released.

With an app like COVIDSafe, where you require to have mass adoption of the app to work (there is no use having 10% of phones operating in the wild with the app installed, you require more like 80-90%, ideally every phone running the app.)

Instead, every techie I spoke to either hated it wasn't open source; or used the fact that the app was based on Singapore's app, but was not subsequently open sourced itself.

I feel that if the powers that be had changed the way that the source was developed, worked with the public a little closer that maybe these issues would not have existed.

But sadly, the damage for COVIDSafe was already done in the first few weeks. There was no resuscitation possible.

I liken it to how the AstraZeneca vaccine was dissed in the media. A small chance of clots was heralded as a major issue, which lead to a extremely slow uptake of a vaccine that is for the most part perfectly fine.

Add to that the fact that privacy was never really enacted for the use of the data gathered by COVIDSafe (and other similar contact tracing tools, for example in Sydney, NSW https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/breach-of-trust-poli... ) and you have a perfect storm of an app that no-one really keeps installed.

COVIDSafe was dead on arrival.

There's this trick question among children here. One makes the other repeat "white" ten times and immediately asks "What do cows drink?". The answer is almost always milk. It might even be working without repeating white part [1].

No, it has many similarities.
No it doesn't, once you have a priority number it adds you 'to the line' and might set you back about a year-ish if you change jobs once its your turn to get a green card. It's the priority number waiting period that makes it suck a lot, not the 1.5yrs it take to get a green card from H1B if you don't have any priority number queue waiting.

You just need to get that priority number ASAP from the first job, which might take a year or less, and then wait X number of years for it to be 'your turn' and then stay at last the job where you'd actually get your green card for a year or two, which is already pretty typical job behavior already. Most people stay at a job for a year minimum, and once you get promoted up the ranks, they stay at places multiple years.

In those X in-between waiting years you can change jobs without it materially effecting your immigration timeline in any serious way. Even then, if you get a good opportunity you can change jobs in exchange for waiting a year or two longer for your green card, which is a choice you can make.

It's far from 'indentured servitude', just some annoying paperwork barriers that makes it more expensive for firms to hire you, because it costs money and time to hire an H1B than a person with a green card or citizenship already. And yes, you cannot go work with risky employers, which limits you to big tech and startups at the series B+ stage of funding. There are even cases of successful people who have founded startups with H1-Bs or some other immigration visa with a lot of hassle. Which in the scheme of things as history has shown, has ended up not to be that bad :D

I'm not sure what to conclude of that though. Does it mean that playing high level chess lower risks of contracting Alzheimer's or does it mean that people with low Alzheimer's risks have higher chance to become high level chess players?
"Scientists say" - I just hope people realise that, in cases like these, that means "a scientist or two wrote about their opinion", which is not even related to "there is scientific consensus". Also, sometimes scientists are really bad at their job.

That is about the Brooklyn Bridge in NYC, often "sold" to tourists hoping to charge toll.

In Hawaii, they say instead "I've got some land on the Big Island", often actually owned, and commonly a bare lava field. People do build on them, and truck in soil for plantings. The result can be beautiful, often suggesting an oasis.
I've never heard of those, but I've heard of the countries whose dictators we propped up and helped (often by literally sending lists of names) to exterminate their secular opposition. Then when they have a revolution because the degree of crushing desperation of the populace exceeded the strength of internal policing, the only leaders left are religious, thereby turning the country into a theocracy.

Most individuals and small companies should(*) just ignore patents they think are invalid because in almost all cases either (a) the patent is actually invalid and the patent owner won't actually litigate it or (b) the patent is valid but much narrower in scope than they think it is. Every patent I've seen held up here on HN as an example of an overly-broad, clearly invalid patent has had much narrower claims than the presenter admits.

(*) I am a lawyer, but not your lawyer. This is a general observation and not legal advice. Your actual case will be different.

The story that was rolling on the 24 hour news for weeks wasn't about the contents of the leaks. It was all about Snowden.

If you wanted to know what the leaks said, you basically had to go to the source materials. If you wanted to hear some talking head give his opinion about whether or not Snowden did "treason," who more often than not said it was, you didn't have to work very hard.
> "A child’s inputs and external forces" is a funny name to call their parents and teachers.

I used that phrase specifically because a person has far more influences in their life than just their parents or teachers. The things that limit or expand a person’s choices are far more than just teachers or family life. Are parents and teacher influences important? Sure. But they are absolutely not the only influences. And neither of those are what I mean when I say external forces.

I’m not sure I have a lot of disagreement with most of the other things you say. Of course a person should make their own opportunities from hard work, passion, and effort.

However (to tie this to the comment I initially replied to) if equality of opportunity is the goal, then we need to make sure we reward actual hard work, not only family multipliers. It’s not like we have to look far to see how many lazy rich kids have countless opportunities and how many hard working poor people struggle yet are incredibly limited in their choices.

Maximizing individual agency means we give everyone who wants to pursue an educational field or career a fair shot at it regardless of who their family is or regardless of what sex they’re born as or their race or whatever. Do they have to work hard? Of course.

Should a lazy rich kid whose family “…spend more time, money and effort to boost the education of their children…” have more opportunities because of “family merit” than the poor kid who worked their ass off and did well? Absolutely not. And the reverse is true as well.

We should be maximizing individual agency and maximizing individual choice and neither of those means we have to abandon hard work. But it does mean we have to knock down arbitrary barriers.

No, Latin was the main international lingua franca among educated people in Europe for about a millennium after it stopped being spoken natively. As such, scientific and otherwise intellectual works of all kinds were primarily written in Latin, for the same reason they’re primarily written in English today.

In fact, the US, UK, and every other culturally Anglo country could sink into the ocean tomorrow and I suspect English would still be a dominant international language for the foreseeable future.
I agree. Actually this is just fake estimation, it's really this: being pressured into commiting to doing 3 times as much as you can do.

If the goal was a genuine estimate, the next year you would surely multiply your estimate by 3 and get closer, maybe overestimate that year

This quote from the great Carl Sagan, concerning the library of Alexandria but generally applicable: "We do know that of the 123 plays of Sophocles in the Library, only 7 survived. One of those seven is Oedipus Rex. Similar numbers apply to the works of Aeschylus and Euripides. It is a little as if the only surviving works of a man named William Shakespeare were Coriolanus and A Winter’s Tale, but we had heard that he had written certain other plays, unknown to us but apparently prized in his time – works entitled Hamlet, Macbeth, Julius Caesar, King Lear, Romeo and Juliet."
Wild assed guess then multiply by two to four depending on how little you trust the people you're giving the estimate too.

Estimates for anything other than the next couple of tasks planned in detail are entirely useless 100% of the time and you never benefit from under estimating.
