In the clean room reverse engineering case:

1a. one team examines the device and products a detailed specification of it

1b. another team works solely off that newly produced specification; this team has zero contact with the actual device

In this hypothetical case:

2a. a third party affiliate accepts the Apple EULA, and gives the Apple IDs to NSO Group

2b. NSO Group uses the Apple IDs as credential to obtain Apple services

Notice that in case 2b, NSO Group has actual contact with Apple in two ways. They used Apple IDs, and that they obtain Apple services. This didn't happen in the reverse engineering case.

> 1. People have out-of-band trust relationships in real life which reduce the likelihood of malice. Bitcoin-style anonymous identities undermine trust relationships and are not needed for legitimate (not illegal) transactions.

Bitcoin provides pseudononymous identities. Just like how someone can move to a new domain or amazon account after word gets out that they are selling deffective goods.

Trust only goes so far, even when dealing with people you should be able to trust. If this were not the case, then close-to-home scams would not exist. E.g. embezellment and other forms of stealing from people you work with face-to-face.

.

>2. Real life legal systems encourage good behaviors. If you have a dispute with someone, you can sue them. Bitcoin and related systems lack these protections.

The legal system is complex, slow, and _EXPENSIVE_. A lot of bad behaviour also goes unpunished when the cost to rectify is greater than the amount stolen. Offering an alternative, low-cost and quick system, and accepting the downside of there being no "takebacks", who is to say this is a strictly negative thing?

There is also nothing stopping a service provider from stepping in and providing dispute resolution by way of mostly automated eskrow. If the transaction of goods for money happens without flaw, then the money is released automatically. If an issue occurs but the buyer and seller can resolve it amicably, that two is automated. In the unlikely case that one or both parties are malicious, the service provider reviews the case and releases funds as appropriate (e.g. checking that the parcel was actually posted, reviewing images of the good if it was damaged in transit, resolving as best able in case of scams).

.

>3. Existing tools such as public-key cryptography and digital signatures can provide most of the functionality that applications need without the problems that blockchain-based systems have.

They can, but there are very few examples of such tools. This is hackernews, and this opinion is repeated ad nauseum, yet I don't see anyone actually going out and hacking something together.

Just like how it has been possible for financial houses to open up APIs to allow people to better manage, automate or make their money work exactly they want; it should come at no surprise when something comes along that actually allows this, no matter how much people cry that this was all possible and much more efficient without $NewTech, the people that have adopted said $NewTech aren't going to care too much.

Drilling down into the stack is a skill, and a skill that is very useful for things like debugging low level issues (sometimes what's causing your app to crash is a kernel bug or even a CPU bug). It's something you have to learn, but it's not wizardry. It all comes down to moving electrons at the end of the day.

I find that it helps if you start with things like 8-bit microcontrollers where you're writing C code or even assembly language, yet it's simple enough to wrap your head around easily (make sure you hit the metal; a lot of people doing this start off with Arduino and get stuck with the high level libraries, but then you're not really learning anything about how it works). Then if you know a bit about digital logic, it's not hard to learn how such an 8-bit CPU might be designed. At that point you can shift to larger and larger systems while still being able to "connect the dots" from a GUI app down to NAND gates. Of course you won't know the details of the whole stack (nobody does), but you'll have enough of a big picture overview to be able to dig your way through it when it becomes necessary.

1. - As an ex employee - it’s a little bit more complicated than that. The machines have strict daily/weekly protocols for cleaning/maintenance and when they’re not met they “break” and need to have a tech reset them.

“What will happen if foreign tech companies ignore this law?

Roskomnadzor can use one or more of the following “enforcement measures” spelled out in the law to get foreign companies to cooperate:

- Informing Russian users about a violation of Russian law by a “foreign entity”;

- Prohibiting displaying advertisements;

- Prohibiting advertising the platform or its owner;

- Restricting money transfers and payments;

- Prohibiting search results;

- Prohibiting the collection and cross-border transfer of personal data;

- Throttling local traffic (like RKN did to Twitter back in March);

- Blocking access to the online resource completely.”

You may have a different experience, but most people tend to only keep small amounts of cash that they're able to accept the loss of around.

Well, 1. and 2. is about contracts between McDonalds and their franchisees, so if a franchise owner feels unfairly harmed by this restriction, then they can sue McDonalds, it's not something about which Kytch should be able to sue Taylor. And, once again, it's perfectly reasonable and very common for franchise agreements to mandate certain suppliers for some products, goods and services, and the close ties don't make it problematic, it's common for some of the suppliers to be wholly owned a subsidiary of the mother company, and it's common for these suppliers to be not very good but as the shared money-maker for the franchise scheme.

There's no fundamental difference between McDonalds franchise contract saying that franchises must use only this ice cream machine and the same contract saying that franchises must make BigMacs only according to this exact recipe. If the franchise operator thinks that the BigMac recipe sucks, they don't get to change it or demand a fix - if McDonalds thinks that's good enough, they can take it or leave it and stop being a McDonalds franchise. The same is regarding McDonalds ice cream process; it may legitimately suck, but it's part of the package deal. If McDonalds wants to buy from Taylor and not from Kytch, that's their choice, effectively McDonalds (and not the franchise operator) is the customer here; and if they are a lousy customer, there are other customers to fight for - IIRC McDonalds bought 25% of Taylor machines, so there are many others out there.

And #3 is not a bad or even a neutral thing - reverse engineering other products is great, please everyone do more of it! Good features should be copied and adopted across the whole market (both in hardware and in software), that's the exact kind of competition that benefits the community; and that's a manifestation of the hacker spirit that should be celebrated, not get shamed about. While legal restrictions such as the excessive patent regime and the excessive length of copyright often prevents people from doing that, in cases where it is not prohibited, this is a good thing to do.
It's an interesting case to be sure.

McDonald's Franchisees are independent business owners. McDonald's is refusing to fix a problem, and has pushed a potential fix for the problem "out of business".

Not sure what the chances of this succeeding, but now we have Taylor and McDonald's hands dirty in trying to "buy this device and copy it's features and user interface". And lying about it when they said they had "no interest in the device". It's not pretty.

Phrasing makes it sound like you were doing it manually, so if you didn't know, you can just drop a script in the directory, say, "check.sh":

#!/bin/bash
if ! pod install; then
exit 125
fi

make it executable, and:

git bisect run ./check.sh

The special exit code 125 tells bisect "this revision can't be tested, skip it", otherwise it just uses exit code 0 for "good" and 1-127 (except for 125) for "bad".

The Wikipedia page about you says: “[Walter Bright] taught himself computer programming from the type-in programs in BASIC Computer Games” citing https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28574770 as a source.

Was there a series of formal tests and grades involved there? Or do you disagree with your own claim that you learned computer programming from that untested, ungraded experience? Presumably most of your expert knowledge of compilers comes from practical experience implementing them yourself and independently studying other people’s implementations rather than from taking formal tests in graded university courses.

Just as you learned programming by satisfying your own curiosity, other people manage to learn about e.g. differential geometry, materials chemistry, entomology, Mesopotamian history, meteorology, electrical engineering, comparative linguistics, sports journalism, fine-art photography, pie baking, ... by similar self-directed experiences.

A formal education full of tests and grades can provide helpful structure for many students, but it is neither the most efficient nor the most effective way to get passionate students to learn and explore for themselves.

You can put a diode and see if it turns or. Or manufacture a transistor with the specific gate voltage and see if that turns on. You would have to account for things like low inductance (to protect against short, sharp dips), etc. Obviously this is a very naive solution, but the point is you don't need a high enough reference voltage.
Several (about 10) years ago, I submitted essentially the same program. It was one of the fastest of all the implementations across all the languages.

Yes, a little. In freefall, such as on orbit, you need 1 gravity of centripetal acceleration. a = v²/r; v = √(ar); if we assume a 3-meter radius (roughly Gravitron size) we need about 5.42 m/s tangential velocity to get one gee. The moon's gravitational acceleration is 1.62 m/s/s; to find the centripetal acceleration needed to get a Pythagorean sum of one gee, we take √((9.81 m/s/s)² - (1.62 m/s/s)²) = 9.67 m/s/s. That means that now our √(ar) tangential velocity is just 5.38 m/s, which is less than 5.42 m/s. Does that help?

The main thing stopping earth trains from being faster is politics, not engineering. Trains have been occasionally going over 300 km/h since 01955, decades before maglev. The Shanghai Maglev Train has been running at 430 km/hr since 02004. The Euroduplex regularly runs 320 km/hr on regular 1435mm standard-gauge rails and reached almost 575 km/hr in a test in 02007. 300 km/hr trains have been in regular service since 01989. There are several other train lines that run over 300 km/hr, in Taiwan, PRC, France, Belgium, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Korea, and Switzerland. Soon India and the US will join them.

The big advantage of maglev is actually not smoothness or absolute speed but acceleration and deceleration.
