That's totally fair. I don't really have the time or Java/Kotlin/mobile familiarity to jump in here, and these aren't skills I can easily apply elsewhere in my career, personally.

> LineageOS has been going for quite a while now, CalyxOS is relatively new, and GrapheneOS (previously CopperheadOS)

My impression of these OSes is that they still rely on Google Play Services - or if not, micro-G which has many shortcomings. When most of the ecosystem doesn't work until you invite Google back in, it doesn't seem like a true alternative IMO.

Admittedly I haven't personally tried running any of them. Which one would you recommend trying if I were aiming to rid myself of Google's omnipresence?

Pretty sure the 3.5T plan makes only symbolic gestures toward the climate ("EV charging stations", "civilian climate corps", "public transit"), so even if the Democrats were aligned on passing it, it still wouldn't make a difference.
Accelerationism to justify fucking poor people over because "now they're paid slightly more though definitely not a living wage" is peak HN culture war.

If Apple was complicit in US authorities breaking into their devices they wouldn't be doing so via publicly exploitable vulnerabilities. Bugs making their way into the "wrong" hands decreases trust in their ecosystem. It makes much more sense to just add a backdoor.
Credit Repair
I came in contact with this credible hacker last year when i was actually trying to get a new home for my family and a car as a birthday present for my son who just turned 18 , I couldn't fail to do that because i have made the promise to him Long long ago and need to keep my promises to him though my credit was very bad for me to take out a loan .. i was lucky enough to have came across DOOMHACKS AT BK DOT RU who helped boosted my credit to 790 when my initial score was 400 and that's very poor .. Took him time but what matters is that he got the job done .. I'm writing this with a smile on my face because I got what i paid for .

It's fair to question credibility, but you have to realize that their results can be compared against 3rd parties, and it would lead to a lot of reputational damage (and also legal risk) to systematically defraud your advertisers. All it takes is one smart team to out the entire enterprise.
The reports right before the 13 was announced was that Apple had significantly increased manufacturing orders anticipating strong lost-pandemic iPhone demand. But we’re still in a pandemic. I barely need a phone given how little I leave my own house.

I’d love to think the CSAM topic is relevant to this — as I’ve paused my own Apple upgrades (had intended on getting new phones, new iPads, and new MacBooks for the whole family), but there’s been radio silence on the topic since they announced their delay on that.
It's also fair to say that if you let the marketers drive business decisions it's a recipe for disaster. Pushing low-quality product out the door just to hit some quarterly sales goal, that's what marketers will push. Epic failures with disastrous long-term consequences are the typical result (Boeing MAX for example).
Great point. I recall some banking apps placing restrictions on logging in without SafetyNet, e.g. which also puts some of the other Android-based OS's out of the running.
Can't we hope they go for full-disclosure instead of selling to the highest bidder? Selling to the highest bidder just hurts apple users not apple.

Why are people out to crucify Apple for a story that's still being resolved? The article clearly says:

"...Due to a processing issue, your credit will be included on the security advisories in an upcoming update. We apologize for the inconvenience," Apple told him when asked why the list of fixed iOS security bugs didn't include his zero-day..."

"...We saw your blog post regarding this issue and your other reports. We apologize for the delay in responding to you," Apple told Tokarev 24 hours after publishing the zero-days and the exploit code on his blog...

"...We want to let you know that we are still investigating these issues and how we can address them to protect customers. Thank you again for taking the time to report these issues to us, we appreciate your assistance..."

The company hasn't denied the bounty, they're just incompetent / slow on this process.

Feels like everyone is out to paint <x> company with just confirmatory bias using whatever half-baked story is available. Even I feel for company leaders in this kind of shitty journalism environment. And the rest of the comments here are just autopilot piling on the echo fest.
I love Legos (ok, LEGO, whatever), but this seems like it deserves 3d printing. It's an ideal application of 3d printing, since many parts need to adapt sizewise, so injection molding doesn't make sense. Modularity is neat, but doesn't lend itself to practical designs that are strong and space efficient.

My hope is that prosthesis tech and robot tech converge. If we can make really good artificial limbs, cheaply, we can not only help people who are missing natural limbs, but we can, ya know, train them to fold laundry or assemble iPhones.

The field will take off in a big way when someone designs an arm that can play a large role in fabricating and assembling an arm like it.
You really have no idea how airline scheduling works. A typical trip pairing for a cockpit crew is for 4 or 5 days going all over the country. Start in Atlanta, fly to Miami, back to Atlanta, then to Vegas, sleep there, next morning back to Atlanta, then on to Phoenix, and back to Atlanta again, on to Houston and sleep there. Etc etc for 4 days in a row. So a problem in Miami could easily cause delays and cancellations on a flight that to you looks totally unrelated.

The only reason you have less impact in a traditional hub and spoke system is that there are extra aircraft and reserve crews in the hubs (some are at the airport, some at home at a few hours notice) and every other flight passes through the hub. So if the Atlanta to Miami and back thing goes really wrong, another crew and aircraft will fly the Atlanta to Vegas flight and sometimes the rest of the trip.

Doesn't happen for a simple delay, but if the delay pushes the crew over their duty time limits on the outbound flight for example the return to hub would be cancelled and a reserve crew would pick up the next flights starting from the hub. The timed-out crew would go to be hotel and fly back as a passenger with the next days flight.
That's got my vote for sure

>Sure thing, but at least most european countries have a lot easier when it comes to lower the emissions from cars.

Most European countries are also like 1/500th the size of the USA though(exaggerating a little bit). Things are much more spread out over here, and from what I've seen we have bigger streets that can handle more traffic whereas a lot of European places have preexisting structures/buildings that prevent streets from really getting any bigger.. Like, I figure that probably went into the thought process when people decided whether or not to invest more in public transportation. If you can't make your streets bigger you probably need to incentivize people to not rely on the limited space of the roads.

I live in the USA and went 3 years without a car and had no issues getting around via public transportation. It just depends on where you live. The USA isn't the same everywhere you go, ya know?

> I always wondered in those days why the disk drives for 8-bit computers were so crazy expensive. In Holland they cost more than the computers they were meant for.

The mechanics were also somewhat expensive. In Brazil, an Apple II drive was often as expensive as an Apple II clone.

What makes the intelligent drives a great idea is how easy it is to emulate them - you emulate a nice protocol. When you have to emulate, say, an Apple II drive, you need to emulate the delays the drive mechanics introduce, as well as the head electronics, because the Apple II's 6502 is reading the head and assembling the bits. That's also why accelerating an Apple II requires you to slow it down for a longer time every time it accesses the IO region - because the disk needs to revolve in the exact time the 6502 takes to run some amount of code. With an intelligent peripheral, it doesn't matter you don't wait several seconds between commands, as long as you only issue them at the required speeds.
> just hurts apple users not apple.

As a first-order effect, sure.. but Apple is not immune to the damage that this causes either. More importantly, their failure to pay or honor their commitments would be the root cause of this in the future.

They opened this "bug bounty" door on their own, they are solely responsible for it's success or failure.
> Assume there's a reasonable amount of work you need to do to fulfill the base expectations for your job (i.e. your Normal Work) and then there's a little time left over.

In my experience "a little time left over" is usually not enough time to bring meaningful "extra" work to the table. If I'm going to bring in something new and useful, and also be able to sell it to my team, then it's hours of research, testing, and convincing.

Great visualization. Just a heads up, it seems that the cloud coverage is backwards at least in Lima. The cloudy months IRL are exactly the opposite of what the graph suggests.
I mostly see 2 talking points in these comments:

(1) I, personally, cannot do much.
(2) If it were really so bad, people would already do something.

I expect more quality comments in the next hours so I won't go too much into detail but we have to understand that every single person and decision counts. And just like with climate change: There will be runaway effects (or call it "critical mass"), which means that first there are only a few people that change their behavior/lifestyle/voting, then there are more and then finally it's a big movement. It happened with Solar, it happened with vegan foods, it will happen with EV vehicles, and it will happen with many more things.

People change. Governments change. We can mitigate climate change. And we do. But the most important steps are believing in our power and conceptualize our lifestyle changes positively. E.g. greener cities, more walkable areas, more home office, less working, less waste. These things! All positive for the climate. All good. Let's do this.

Sorry, this is totally insane. The author said the strike price on his options is $0.27. Gitlab is preparing to IPO at about $66, which would make his 15,000 shares worth nearly $1 million. He's going to throw that away because he's disgruntled with the company?

I remember reading that one of the reasons Genghis Khan ignored Europe was because he considered it an economically and culturally backward region. And in many ways that might have actually helped Europe to emerge out of the "dark ages" as they didn't lose a section of their population to him, and still got access to knowledge and technology through trade with the Mongol empire that didn't care about them. While western history doesn't like to acknowledge it for political reasons, compared to the flourishing science, culture and statecraft that was seen with the rise of the Islamic empire, Europe was then more like a "developing" nation than a "developed" nation (to use modern economic parlance).
No. It is not worth noting any such thing.

The need to keep nuclear in the short term is based solely on the urgency of the climate crisis.

Cost is irrelevant in the face of extinction.

We have a couple centuries to figure out wind and solar economics if we convert all coal and gas to nuclear immediately.

Between 1950 and 2000, there were 21 serious incidents or accidents involving off-site radiological releases that warranted a rating on the International Nuclear Event Scale, one at level 5, five at level 4 and fifteen at level 3. Additionally, during the 1950s and 1960s there were protracted periods of known, deliberate discharges to the atmosphere of plutonium and irradiated uranium oxide particulates. These frequent incidents, together with the large 2005 THORP plant leak which was not detected for nine months, have led some to doubt the effectiveness of the managerial processes and safety culture on the site over the years.

https://ehss.energy.gov/SESA/Files/corporatesafety/safety_bu...
On April 20, 2005, a camera inspection of a feed clarification cell at THORP revealed that 83,000 liters of dissolver solution had leaked from a broken pipe (Figure 1) into the cell sump. The highly radioactive dissolver solution, consisting of approximately 19 metric tons of uranium, plutonium and fission products dissolved in nitric acid, was entirely contained within the stainless steel-lined cell.
No personnel were injured as a result of this incident. However, the cleanup costs for this event are expected to exceed $500 million, and the THORP facility faces a lengthy shutdown (possibly even permanent closure).

Reprocessing also results in radioactive liquid waste: the French reprocessing plant in La Hague discharges 100 million liters of liquid waste (pdf) into the English Channel each year. "They have polluted the ocean all the way to the Arctic," Makhijani says. "Eleven western European countries have asked them to stop reprocessing."

It is not the worst crime. It just happens to be most visible, because it gives the appearance of consciously creating a narrative that fits specific needs ( in simple terms : BLM good / police bad ) and is then reinforced by semi subtle, but still clear signals ( if race is omitted in a shooting, you can at this point assume the shooter was/is black ).

That is the issue, it is not one clumsy comment. It is a series of million little moments. They do add up.
I think "dumbed down" and "multi-tenant compute" aren't compatible. No company needs to do multi-tenant compute by default. If you do, you are in the cloud hosting/infrastructure business (whether you like it or not) and should be expected to have the knowledge necessary to run such an operation.
Well, it's not new in the 6502 world either. The Apple IIGS has to do just this to clock down its 2.8Mhz CPU selectively to work with the floppy drives and such, outside of doing that to run as an Apple II.

I used to think like you when I was on my 20s. Now on my 30s, the salary I make is more than enough to life a decent life but only if I keep working until I’m 65. I don’t want to work (for others) until I’m 65. I don’t want to be rich either (too much effort), but I do want to own a house I don’t need to pay anymore when I’m 45. I want to stop working for others when I’m 45. Now this decent salary of mine is simply not enough to own a decent house in a decent place in Western Europe.

Just do the math; let’s take the 2K Euro you are talking about. That’s 24K in 1 year. 240K in 10. 480K in 20. Now, 480K euro is the price of decent house in Western Europe. Let’s say you are able to save 50% of such decent salary, that means you’ll need 40 years to pay the house (I’m keeping it simple for the sake of the example: no inflation, no taxes, etc.)
It's the cherry on top.

Between cherrypicked statistics,
obvious and tremendous political bias (Both sides, but we all know which one benefits more),
a complete abandonment of balanced coverage,
and tinting the faces of politicians to make them appear less healthy (happened to Trump and Bernie), I'm just about done ever trusting any mainstream media source again.

When Ben Shapiro's news website does a better job of admitting their own biases than any of the three-letter networks, we have a problem.

OTOH, the time-critical hack that allowed it also made it nearly impossible for Apple to upgrade the II without breaking backwards compatibility. The only Apple II with a faster 6502 is the //c+, and that because it has the crazy Zip Chip acceleration logic on the motherboard.
I agree, but this is a very small consolation to me. In particular, we're talking about a $3.5T budget, of which only a small amount goes to tackling climate issues and even those provisions are largely symbolic rather than serious. If Democrats were serious about climate, I would expect to see a full-court press on carbon tax (which actually generates revenue) with the social issues put on hold--because as important as social issues are, climate change is an existential threat. Imagine if we were invaded by the Chinese or Russians or aliens for that matter--would we prioritize social issues (perhaps with some half-hearted, billion-dollar gesture toward addressing the invasion), or would we sideline them to deal with the existential threat?
Zerodium (https://zerodium.com/program.html) pays out $2 million dollars for an iOS “full chain with persistence” exploit. $500k for an iMessage RCE.
