I'm not sure why you were net-downvoted; your anecdote was on-topic, relative to the comment you replied to.

I have a similar background, and your use of 'of this world' may possibly indicate that we both suffered at the hands of the same cult.

Within myself, I have personally experienced both the fight-or-flight reaction to dis-confirming datapoints, and also excitement at learning something new. The former happened more often when I was still in the clutches of the cult. I think it boils down to how psychologically invested you are in your beliefs, at the time of feeling the cognitive dissonance.
Your app is incompatible with the Apple App Store.

There’s a lot of arguments that people will make about whether this is justified or not, but from a plain rules standpoint, that’s not a permissible data management strategy if you want to publish an iOS app through Apple’s store.

Our expert industry analysis and practical solutions will help you make more informed buying decisions and get more out of your vehicle. Suspension lifts are a vehicle modification that allows you to increase the lift height of your truck. It is designed to improve the off-road performance of SUVs or trucks and other off-road vehicles, or for cosmetic purposes. Suspension elevators can provide steeper lift, departure and camber angles, higher ground clearance, and help accommodate larger wheels and tires. Due to the increased center of gravity, maximum safe tripping angles can be reduced and roadholding is often significantly compromised.

I spent a bit of time trying to deploy a lambda app with Cloudformation. I wanted to use a relational database, so I needed to handle migrations.

Ok, so apparently I need to write a custom Cloudformation resource to execute a lambda function that will run the migrations prior to deploying the new version of the lambda. Kind of neat that you can do that.

Except I messed up the output of the custom resource lambda and Cloudformation completely locked my deployment up for 3 hours. 3 hours. I couldn't do _anything_ - rollback, update, whatever.

Cloudformation via a CDK is interesting, and I don't hate it, but oh boy if it gets into a weird state it can completely kill your iteration loop. And the docs say something along the lines of "if it's stuck for too long contact support". No thanks.
Asphalt is itself very energy inefficient, and finding a replacement is rather important. Quoting kurzgesagt, the impact if manufacturing an electric car is equal to just two meters of asphalt road.
See: Filibuster [1]

60 votes are required to break the filibuster in the Senate, and whatever their private ideas (e.g., I've seen reports from credible sources that no less than 44 R Senators personally support raising the debt ceiling), there are apparently zero R votes to go against their leader and end the filibuster.

Interesting times.

I think the policies he wants to push are ahead of the times ideas that resonate.

He will be as popular as those ideas are popular, and it's his "job" to make those ideas popular. So yes, by that definition he wants to be a celebrity and he wants people to buy his book.

However, if he pushes forward ideas that just don't make sense, have bad narratives or don't connect with people's sentiment, he will be quickly forgotten.

Other stuff is free/reduced toll on roads, lots of free charging, often cheaper parking on public spots, can use the bus lanes in heavy traffic (probably soon going away now that half the cars being electric would block the buses).
Similar in California and other states. The states typically tax gasoline and since electrics don't use any they are implementing special fees on electric vehicle purchases to make up for lost revenue.

One would think that the savings in pollution (not only for the car itself, but the transport of the fuel, pollution from refineries, etc.) would offset any lost revenue from gas taxes.

What makes this really nonsensical is that many states still have electric vehicle rebates. They give you a rebate of a few thousand dollars to reward you for buying an electric vehicle but then charge you a few hundred dollars to punish you for buying an electric vehicle.
Looks really neat! The reactivity part and widgets/IU reminds me of R Shiny, but the addition of a DAG is really smart. Great job!
If this fits here then it maybe it really just means performance matters for adoption?
Pretty sure Elon Musk is ASD too, I'm ASD (slightly, self-diagnosed my wife has ADHD-C, I WAS diagnosed with ADHD-I 3 years ago, and after MANY youtube channel watches of ASD and ADD/ADHD stuff, and being told by 3 separate friends (all w/ ASD) that if they've got it, so do I, I just accepted it).. .

It does make sense, I ramble often, on a topic and I can get so focused on one subject that I neglect everything else for weeks, and sure that's a sign of ADHD, but it crosses over, my brother has it too, and I think my wife does as well, cause there's a female YT channel on it, and she and the host are like twins (behaviorially)...

I'm not a fan of Zuck or Musk (used to be a fan, but he's just a self-absorbed rich kid who got lucky because he had money to begin with), but I do see ASD as a two edged sword it can lead to greatness (I have brilliant ideas) or failure (I have fear of launching, because I'm very sensitive to criticism, and rejection) .. but having access to money makes fear of failure less because well you can afford better market testing, and hire people to help fill in the gaps...

TLDR: Not a fan of elon/zuck, both probably are ASD, so am I, my take is it didn't make them successful, it may have contributed, but it definitely didn't hurt them either, but people w/ ASD often get paired as being like the guy on the "Good Doctor" and I hate that, many w/ ASD you can't even tell until they tell you or you work in close quarters w/ them for awhile... it's not very pronounced on a lot of people and most programmers probably are on spectrum, it's a good career choice for us (almost perfect)... I'm one.
Yep, can confirm, did that myself earlier this year. Canceling the subscription for NYT that I had originally subscribed to through iOS was painless and took all 10 seconds that it took me to open the "my subscriptions" panel in the App Store and clicking "cancel" on the NYT one.
Would have liked to see these numbers adjusted for cost of living. Making $145,000 in silicon valley is not anywhere comparable to making $145,000 in Podunk Florida, and thus I'm not sure what value to derive from this data, with respect to my own earnings.
> You can't pay a detective to investigate a family murder or sexual assault

Isn't that the point of private detectives (aka private investigators)? They can be used to provide admissible evidence to a court.
What's funny is that all these laws and (appstore) rules are not very well thought.

It comes down to the individual to interpret and enforce a solution that may or may not be in compliance.

It's like doing taxes in the US. You may or may not doing it correctly and you'll only find out if they start knocking.

When did "deleted" become a vague term?

Deleted means removing as much PII as you reasonably have authority to do so. It means purging all that data from all databases with a guarantee that you will be removed completely from all snapshots in a reasonable amount of time.

This should be the default, normal understanding of what it means to delete your account.

It doesn't mean set a flag in a database so when your company gets acquired in a few years your new owner has a nice little trove of data to mine of people that explicitly opted out.
I remember that change. I wondered at the time why people were not more concerned about what that change meant. I guess people either didn't fully apprehend the implications, or maybe they thought Apple wouldn't follow through?

There's the risk of getting small details incorrect while making a good faith effort of complying.

I’ve worked on a lot of DLP projects in big enterprise, and I have a very dim view of the entire category of product. A lot of their functionality is just magic black boxes, that unsurprisingly achieve very little. The primary motive for deploying them is not that they’re particularly effective, it’s so that you can tell auditors and other scrutineers that you’ve got a “DLP solution”. The idea that you can grant people access to huge quantities information, but then very strictly control what they do with it is fundamentally flawed. Especially on networks that require large amounts of in and outflow for BAU. Even the most tightly controlled data in the world cannot be protected from an inside leaker (or adversary who has taken control of an insiders access), because it runs into the same “analog hole” issue that DRM products have.
There are some serious caveats here:

> seven out of every eight cars bought and sold in Norway a used car. The NAF’s numbers show that of the 357,176 ownership registration changes so far in 2021, electric vehicles only accounted for 12 per cent.

And their definition of electric cars includes hybrids (whereas I think most people interpret it to mean fully electric). So they're obviously doing great but the vast majority of the vehicles in Norway are still ICE only.
Just a thought. Rewriting the core platform from one language to another just takes huge resources for orgs who are in high growth path. It feels like a side mission, derailed from core value that is solving the problem statement. Rewrites are generally a red flag for me, especially early in an orgs history.
Re: the rise of OnlyFans
I think someone can certainly explain an idea if both people take enough time and have enough motivation.

The thing that stands out for me is people who have different ideas concerning where the obligation is in communicating concepts. Is it the speaker's job to put things so the listener can understand? Or is it the listener's job to spend time parsing an objectively correct explanation? In society, overall, this involves a process of negotiation. Notably, I think some people who's job involves manipulating abstract ideas don't think it's their job to put spend time putting concepts into a form appropriate for a given person - the concepts being expressed in an abstractly correct fashion is sufficient.
That's possible from iOS as well.
Fair enough. I don't believe that either.
What's the significance of reaching the Qplasma = 1 milestone?

They get to uncork some champagne, but they still need to get Q up to ~10 before handing it off to the powerplant engineers.
I think that would cause them to drop by ~70% over 8 years, at least for normal to high mileage examples. I'm not sure if this is actually any worse than what would be typical for an ICE vehicle, though?
That was a great read, thanks. I loved that they highlighted the role of a proper regulatory body as a key factor in the success of the oil industry in Norway.
> I've configured literally 1000s of systems with CloudFormation with very few problems.

This is a great way of saying "I've never used CloudFormation" without stating it directly.
Great idea thanks for the suggestion, however, I'll keep people employed instead so they don't need the food bank.

If you have a company selling a weapon, it's pretty obvious it's going to be used to harm. That's by design.

And just like we were never able to prevent the guns to arrive in the hand of the wrong people, or make sure people using guns respect any kind of rules, why would we expect NSO clients to be well filtered and behaved?
Great pricing, but a 48 hour retrieval window sucks for everything except things you basically never need to retrieve.

Password salting has nothing to do with password reuse.

Imagine two people have accounts on each of two websites:

eBay YouTube

Alice sunlight bobrules

Bob bobrules bobrules

A password reuse attack dumps the YouTube database, cracks Bob's password, and then accesses Bob's eBay account. The fix for this is that Bob should use different passwords on his different accounts. Hashing helps by making step 2 ("crack Bob's password") more difficult. Salting does not affect this attack in any way. Note that the attacker didn't bother to dump the eBay database.

The attack that salting protects against dumps the YouTube database, cracks Bob's password, and then accesses Alice's YouTube account.
I suspect it depends on how much social and psychological equity you have invested in the core beliefs, when they get challenged. If you've never experienced much indoctrination, I can completely understand why it would be hard for you to relate.

> maliciously copying, adapting and distributing its source code and other content

Seems like a bold claim to make, claiming that the code has been copied. If it was reverse-engineered, then the code should be legally redistributable as long as it doesn't contain amy copyrighted assets, right?
I’ve seen a stat that most cars only last 10 years in the US. If that’s because we crash or destroy them than the problem is almost non-existent. I own a 25 year old truck but they aren’t very common, so I assume that’s just anecdotal. I’m also not sure if that stat included trucks. I can’t find it to reference it.
I just wish this was available to apps you haven’t purchased yet. There are some obvious scams and I cannot report them until I purchase .. kinda defeats the purpose for this use case.
No studs in walls made of bricks! The whole thing is solid all the way along so just put things where you want.

> and the work ethic of Asians - and ignores the barriers they've had to overcome to get to that level.

Could you elaborate?
Apple considers 3 months their standard level of advance notice, with WWDC serving as your warning and the release of iOS in September as the go-live date.

However, in this case, they have ended up giving you 6 months and a courtesy reminder.

If you aren’t interested in maintaining your app annually, don’t publish apps on Apple’s store.

Whether or not their level of notice is enough, they’ve been consistent for years in this practice of 3 months notice for significant and breaking changes, and they seem comfortable compelling annual updates from developers. I would not expect them to care that 3 months is difficult in your circumstances, as they assume you’re prepared to maintain your app and proactively keep up with policy changes over time. It sounds like you did not attend to this year’s policy updates and may well have been out of compliance for months now. Fortunately, they offered a grace period rather than just refusing your next bugfix update. Lucky you!

(I am not sympathetic to your situation, because as a user of apps, I am exhausted of crappy apps and bottom-of-the-barrel behaviors from developers. I understand that others may feel otherwise, and that’s fine too, just as long as those feelings do not get in the way of being a responsive app developer.)
Regulating big tech is a democratic issue. It’s not up to the individual tech worker to do so, and I’m not convinced that all these movements aren’t “soft-solutions” organised by big tech to avoid people working on real solutions. Solutions like legal intervention from the EU and whatever government you are under.

Poor working conditions are solved by forming unions. In Denmark we have strong unions, and while their power is weaning (in parts thanks to big tech platforms jbecoming the middle men and taking 25-50%) our unions are the sole reason we have some of the best working conditions in the world.

Because here’s the secret to good working conditions. If you and everyone else in your line of work stops working, along with anyone working jobs that somehow support your lone of work, things change overnight.

Just ask MCD why they pay the now famous $22 and hour (or however much it was) when they initially didn’t want to. It’s because it’s hard to sell burgers when the dock workers refuse to unload your bread and the truckers refuse to deliver it.

So I’m all for the ideals behind these things, but they need to think bigger if they want to change anything. We shouldn’t need whistleblowers and bad PR to keep Facebook away from our children, it should simply be illegal with mega business ending consequences. When that happens you can be fairly sure that business will start to actually regulate itself, because if there is one thing enterprise businesses care about it’s actual risk.
as a pole, I confirm this is polish.
In trivial examples when we are all relaxed then yes, you would be right. It’s non-trivial occasions when we are stressed and trying to read someone elses code at two in the morning when I really value strict code style guidelines.

The ability to read complex code when we are in situations where we are not functioning at 100% is vastly under valued when one talks about developers capacity for comprehension.
Admit that demeaning results of the current parties is unfair to them.

Beg to differ about comparing him to AOC. Yang's forward policies much more radical than AOC's and absolutely do not belong in the democratic party.

80% of Yang's policies is all about limiting the power of incumbency (democracy dollars, ranked choice votes, open primaries, stop DC revolving door, term limits). It hurts the party a LOT to reduce the power of incumbency; no party member with any position would actually support any of this.

Comparatively, AOC's medicare for all, public safety, housing as human right, and immigration reform is super in line with democratic party issues.

> If they are the same everywhere, you can precompute a huge database of hashes (called a rainbow table) and simply lookup the hash in the table when breaches occur to find the password.

You can do this anyway. But the space requirements of a rainbow table are so large that including an account's username in the password would make a rainbow table completely unfeasible.

A lot? I personally don’t remember a major whistleblower—in the legal usage of the term—who asked to be the sole savior who can fix the problem they identified.

It’s quite easy to lose sight of the whole picture while you are siloed working on a portion of the whole. I commend anyone who makes the public aware of bad corporate or governmental actors, even if it took them a while to come around to making their decision. That they may have profited in the past is immaterial. That’s an ethical dilemma they will need to resolve on their own.
I had this exact question for our privacy legal team and the answer I got was that deleting the keys to encrypted data is legally equivalent to deleting the data itself.
> I say this as somebody who had several major surgeries as a child to save my eyesight.

The moral calculus here depends on how severe the impairment is and the potential risks / harms associated with the treatments.

At one end of the impairment/risk ratio, it is certainly ethical. Somewhere in the middle, I think you need to obtain the minor's consent. At the other end the treament isn't ever ethical ever to conduct on a minor.

What if the "sight saving" treatment has a high risk of them losing their sight at an older age when developing the abilities to navigate as a blind person are harder?

The issue here is an ongoing debate about which ASD differences are impairments (and about the severity.) and which are just stigmatized. I think to make this determination ethically you MUST listen to the range of opinions from adults who faced similar situations. If there isn't a clear consensus, I think we should be hesitant to impose treatment without consent.
That is good for the economy... Broken Windows are the best... /s
It's just another over-engineered gimmick from Apple. 12 (10 to third-party at intro?) may be slightly better for an average user than 8 (7 to third-party at intro?), but it still means that you have to delete and re-verify cards all the time, which defeats the whole purpose of the extra security for the data.

In Android Pay and now rebranded as Google Pay all contactless was and is unlimited. You never have to delete any card. You only have to re-verify the cards if you switch devices. That's literally how a digital wallet is meant to be, if you ask me.
Which is not to say that "Report a Scam or Fraud" is a bad policy.

App Store review can be random, AND this can be a good policy. (Well, good for consumers. I could see it causing developers some issues if competitors weaponize it.)
