I'm not trying to champion Apple, far from it, but I can't see how any sort of consistent policy could be defined from those opposing ideals and I wanted to highlight some I saw, especially when the stated goal is to align with core fundamental principles. As stated, those principles seem in opposition to each-other.
You are possibly at risk of Apple detecting this and locking your account. But at some point, if the attacker is determined enough to build custom hardware like this, there is not a lot you can do. None of the competitors managed any better or even got close to the protections Apple provided.

At some point we need to put the burden on law enforcement. It's impossible to make abuse of technology impossible but we can criminalize misuse.
This isn't the only "bug" though.

The use of it as a stalking device should be widely known already.
>> Russia didn't all of a sudden invade ukraine for no reason.

Or maybe Russia fanned the conflict over the years, supporting separatists and paving the way into this invasion. To have reasons and excuses for it...
Modern Alfas are about as reliable as german cars these days, so reliability issues are more myth than fact. That being said, German cars aren't as reliable as Japanese cars.

The real problem isn't reliability but shitty dealer networks. Alfa have a knack for finding dealership networks that think it's great fun to have them in the showroom to pull people in, but aren't terribly interested in selling them or doing a good job servicing them.

My tip is to never use the dealership for servicing your vehicles (of any brand). Find a garage that has competent people, and who have respect for the work, and then pick whatever cars they are competent to work on. You don't want to spend a lot of money on a car only to have a bunch of underpaid teenagers who can only follow a manual work on your car.

And doesn't make you excited for the war and enthusiastic about joining the fight for Ukraine? Great - but having only information and announcements from one side would give me pause. Somehow the war hasn't ended yet, despite of the zillions of Russian tanks that have been destroyed by now.
You can do this easily with an Android phone. These are the apps I use:

My mortgage for my house I just bought costs me $7k a month including taxes and insurance. Of the $5.3k I pay a month to service the debt, ~$3k just interest on the debt. Only $2k goes towards paying down the principal.

Which means that I'm forced to pay down this mortgage by $2k every month instead of investing it into stocks. If my house value goes up 50%, that's fine, but if it doesn't or goes down, then that could be a big missed opportunity.
Reducing lanes does not reduce demand, it just reduces transportation options and increases costs, indirectly damaging the economy. The passengers are trading time for money in the sense that a single car/van/bus is more cost efficient, but takes more time per passenger. It's true that some work can be done while on the road, but it's not a great work environment. Also, it's not always possible to align the schedules of all passengers.
> “We make it simple to start a paid newsletter.”

> We don't want to be a walled garden.

Is it just me, or do those not align completely?

A paid newsletter, as in you get access if you pay, is by definition a walled garden.

I understand that because Substack and its writers both benefit from publicly available material, since it draws organic traffic. But it seems that that's not at odds with also wanting a walled garden. The difference may be the size and shape of the garden fence door. Medium is annoying by tricking you into clicking stuff that you can't read unless you sign up. Building an app seems like it could lead there. Not because you want to, but because of thinking centralised rather than decentralised.

My favourite newsletter, Haskell Weekly, distributes an article list with a summary by email, but the links go to anywhere on the web, usually personal blogs. Maybe some people like to have an app as it then functions as a browser dedicated to particular reading purpose(s). I'd personally prefer browser links. That's where I read everything and sync tabs/bookmarks between phone and computer. I hope you don't get those annoying pop-ups that keep encouraging people to install the app even though they clicked no thanks. Like Reddit. Just because the fence is mostly see-through, it still counts like a wall. :-D
> However, I don't think it's unreasonable at all to disagree with them on that assessment, and I think it's extremely reasonable to ask why DuckDuckGo feels safer about downranking certain kinds of misinformation and feels nervous about taking stances about other misinformation.

It may look like that on a first glance, but assuming even spread of 100M DDG users, those users from Russia, China, India, Indonesia, Middle east may be more sensitive to other kind (in this case western media) of misinformation.

Since this is easily half of the world population I would argue that stance they took could also be easily seen as an 'extremely unreasonable' at the same time.
I’m sure that you probably know my opinion on all this already (given my general loudness about newsletter things in general, as the editor of Tedium), but I’d love to see you offer options to create ecosystem options that don’t rely on having to publish on Substack proper.

It seems like creators could use the support of something like Substack without being tied to the publishing platform itself. That seems like a real opportunity.

I really don’t like the idea of newsletter platforms expanding beyond email, because the reasons why we’re using email in the first place is because it’s platform-agnostic. So your company launching an app really gives me pause. But creators I’ve talked to over the past day or so are in more of a wait-and-see mode.

I realize I’m not the target audience for your service as-is. I prefer self-hosting things like my website, I want to code my template myself, and don’t want to charge my readers a subscription fee. But I think some of the services you offer do not need the publishing platform you’ve created for it.

It could be a way to help the newsletter ecosystem without making it dependent on the URL and how we choose to publish.

I like those kind of echoes. Edvard Grieg has two piano pieces, one from the very beginning of his publication history, one from near the end, and both have the same musical theme. The first piece is a simple one-pager, and the third is a waltz that modulates through several keys, almost as if traveling through memories.
It also seems under-used for how core it is (ex. everything in public/dbo).
You should, at least, build your own shim between your app and the API. That way, if there are changes, hopefully the fixes (if they are possible) are at least confined to one place.
Only thought about this today but if a person relies on credit, inflation is going to end up being much higher.
I like this idea! But would that lead to something similar to academia? With lab heads spending their time grant writing and low paid programmers working on the code?
> I simply can't trust ANY media, search engine, or social network anymore.

It's one of the key goals of Russian information warfare: to create a feeling that you can't tell truth apart from fiction, and to force you into apathy and paralyze you, so you become unable to act and protect your interests. Russians are among the largest pushers of conspiracy theories from Covid to QAnon, and have been for a very long time, because it is cheap and very effective way to divide free societies into infighting groups. NYC station chief of Russian foreign intelligence used to visit public libraries to post conspiracy theories on Geocities in 1990s -- that's how important it was and remains.

They flood all available channels with utter nonsense to make people turn their brains off. Just today a general and the spokesperson for Russians Ministry of Defense tried to justify the war by saying that the United States was training migratory birds in secret Ukrainian laboratories to carry dangerous pathogens into Russia: https://redd.it/tb6sn8 Antivaxx groups have already switched to parroting such crap, because many of them are seeded by Russia.

By the way, Mearsheimer is an idiot and nobody takes him seriously in Eastern Europe. You might as well read books by Nazis explaining why Germans had the right to Lebensraum in the East. Instead of precompiled knowledge provided by TV talking heads or authoritative-appearing "experts", I recommend building up knowledge from basic building blocks. Start by reading general histories of the regions you are interested in to understand historic difficulties that people in those places have faced over the past several centuries and what their current goals and motivations are. Then you don't need Mearsheimers to tell you what's going on, you can derive it from your knowledge. This applies to everything else too. If you know a thing or two about basic statistics, then you're much less likely to fall for bullshit narratives like Covid conspiracy theories from people who look trustworthy. Knowledge is power.
Last response because you clearly didn't read my first comment or any of my others.

> None of those things are true, though. You can have all of those exactly like before. But you can now also do, for instance, "cat image.jpg" and you will see the image inline in your terminal. That only adds value and prevents nothing

That case is covered by Sixel [0] like I mentioned before.

Also, the use for 'cat' is not to display the contents of a file, but to output the contents of a file for concatination, so 'cat image.jpg' doesn't make sense.

> Again, I specifically said I do not want a GUI

This is also not what you said before when you said

> And there are plenty of CLIs that use graphics. Just not for controlling computers for some absurd reason.

You know what something that uses graphics to control computers is? A user interface, with graphics... I wonder if there's an acronym for that. The fact that graphics are a key part of usage make it a GUI by default.

Sounds like he stayed reliable doesn't it?
Yep, fair point, you're probably right about that. I was thinking more TLDs like .net vs .com and forgot about the regional side of things, even though I had just mentioned it for ranking based on language.

I guess on that note, I also vaguely remember that .com/.net differentiation was something that people tried in various contexts (not sure if searching was one of them) before we all figured out, "wait, this doesn't mean anything about quality other than which one you chose to buy."
I'm not sure when this was edited in, but they seem to have added a line saying that attacks against russian civilians are still not allowed.

My concern is more about the long-term maintenance of it.

If I ship a JavaScript library with the tool, then modify that JavaScript library later, I risk breaking the automated screenshots that were scripted against previous versions of the library.

If I'm committing to shipping a library that won't break backwards compatibility, I have to be very confident that I'm designing it well from the start.

So I'm probably going to do it at some point, but I'm not going to rush into it.
Clojure is an example of a minimal language, and many of its advanced features are implemented via a macro (such as for loops, you can check its source code here: https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/clojure-1.10.1/src/c...).

You are able to implement many paradigms without having to release a new version of the language itself. This also applies to LISP, and I assume many other languages with macros.

Well arguably JVM puts some limits on the language's practical application.
I don't know that anyone suggested finger-wagging, and there have always been independent actors in wars. Authorities can persuade vigilantes, including with some of the points I made above ('you don't want to be responsible for people - including allied soldiers or private citizens - dying'), deter them ('it's illegal, a threat to national security, and we'll prosecute you; also, you will never work professionally again', which will deter anyone with a family, serious career, etc.), co-opt them, and also not encourage them, which Zelensky did.

Thanks Gabriel, Thanks DDG for the action beyond just words!

Every bit of support to Ukraine now is adding up and should show the unity against the subversion, hell, the perversion! of human values, freedoms, and history.

Plurality of opinions, freedom of speech, access to multitude of sources, and free flow of information are what the current Russian state has long considered as the West's weak points, prone to the "active measures". At present it's clear that the Russian state's disdain for these values has gone beyond mere manipulation and distortion.

Now this is an outright extension of Russia's war arsenal.

Sowing distrust and confusion is their way to try to distract and indeed disable the critical minds of anyone who's touched by the barbaric consequences of the Russian state's ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

In this case I consider the down-ranking not as a censure, but rather as an active call for using oneself's critical thinking, beyond the Russian state's manufactured justifications and "truths of the day".

Discussion and personal reflections about this war and the global crisis it has precipitated is the very least anyone can presently do. Taking a practical standing beyond just words and showing solidarity and support to Ukraine in this unfair and mindless war started against it requires integrity and courage. Thank you!
Yes you can, they have different toggles.

There are currently two independent systems for finding your phone that work in different but complementary fashions.

Well arguably 3 systems, an iPhone can also be set to report it’s location when the battery is low.
AFAIK they are separate already. They are separate toggles on the configuration screen.

Her gynecologist recommended him to me.
This was directly addressed.

They said the calls for violence against Russian soldiers were allowed because this was being used as a proxy for the Russian military, and said it would not apply to prisoners of war.

It's not permissible when referring to anyone but Russian soldiers actively involved in the invasion, not even ones who were involved but are no longer. I don't know how the meaning could be any more explicit.

The arrow and distance are from the bad guess to what the answer actually is. So like I guessed Estonia, but the answer was Sweden so the arrow pointed northwest and the distance was some 300 odd km.

The correct analogy in this case would be if there were both 'square earthers' and 'flat earthers' and DDG decides to penalize only results from 'flat earthers'. Both sides produce factual untruth but only one gets penalized.
Actually yes, but consult with a physician before following this especially if you have blood pressure issues.

Salt intake is partially linked to hunger and satiety. Increasing salt (and potassium) intake while lowering total calories is a way to control hunger while dieting. Combine it with time restricted feeding (the whole skip breakfast deal) and you've got yourself an easy winning combo.

Going to the gym regularly helps as well, increased muscle protein synthesis leads to increased calorie expenditure

I guess the non-gamer external monitor customers are really small in comparison. Maybe they just make do with their laptops.

I also am guessing the tech to support hi-res external monitors still isn't there in a $1000 consumer laptop. I use workstation grade laptops with an external gpu which can support at most 2 24" 4k monitors. I am however unable to find any 4k monitors in that size these days.

27" 5K support on windows is hit or miss, maybe Intel 12th Gen and thunderbolt standards normalize support.
Aww, thank you for the kind words. It was fun to get to sneak in some of the Cocoon design patterns here and there throughout the Substack app :)

Bundles of some kind are an often-requested feature by both writers and readers. Something we're really mindful of: the direct connection between reader and writer is the magic that makes the whole Substack model work. So we would be very wary of a bundle product that abstracted that connection. However, I do think there are ways to do a bundle that keep that direct connection front and center, keeping the reader in control, and maintaining the writer's ownership of their audience. It's an interesting problem to think about!
Somebody really hated that cat
Good call! I think part of the issue in this case is the naming of the field. I’m on mobile and can’t easily check but I thought it was something like “country” or similar. I’m guessing 1Password sees that and attaches its UI, I’m seeing my saved identity/location being suggested when I click into the field. A potential fix is to rename the field and any id/class to something that is generic/not related to location. Again, this is 1Password’s fault for sure, I’m just suggesting a way to fix it.

For 1Password it’s hard to say what the fix is. I will say, 1Password needs to a decent amount of work on their identity-filling agent/component. It is wrong more often than I’d like and will clobber fields I’ve already entered with different data. It will also fill/clobber other fields that aren’t identity-related. It mistakenly thinks a field is something that it’s not, just like in this games case. It’s too greedy or too loose in its search for field to fill. Passwords/2FA/secrets/etc is rock solid, identities? Not so much.
This is completely correct and me is duly chastened.
Does that make Facebook employees legitimate targets for lethal retaliation by Russia under international law?
I'm reminded a little bit of a clip[0] in which an AP reporter challenged a State Department official about some of his claims about the Russian plans for a war on Ukraine. It's aged in a weird way, because of course, the war happened - but it does show the weird dynamic at play between journalists, the people, and the state security apparatus.

Essentially, they can't give you the details. Sometimes they lie, for national security, operational security, or even pathological, political reasons.

I guess the one takeaway that's stuck in my mind from this morass is that the people who led us to war in Iraq should have gone to jail. That would have been the only way to maintain the integrity of the security apparatus they misused to trick their nations into going along with it.
