I'm hoping for two years since that's what the iPhone 5s got with iOS 12 after 13 dropped support for it, but it may just be a matter of policy for them to target 8 years since it was the 8 year mark when the final update for 12 went out last September.

This topic has become an amusing barometer for people who don't actually know anything about Apple products but love to knock on them.. there's plenty Apple does to get upset over, but this is always the one topic ignorant people bring up.

When the battery went bad on my 6s which was already several years old Apple replaced it for free. That's above and beyond the $30 program they started after their misshap handling the CPU throttling to prevent power loss on worn batteries.
Scams aren't limited to cryptocurrency. There are actual businesses that are providing the real-world utility with the assistance of cryptocurrency. Take, for example, Helium Network. Helium has scaled the most ubiquitous IoT network on Earth with a revolutionary business model that incentivizes users to set up IoT hotspots and soon other wireless protocols like 5G, Wi-Fi 6, VPN, and more, with cryptocurrency incentivization and a Proof-of-Coverage mechanism. This new business model to scale infrastructure is here to stay.

You can believe it or not. But businesses like Helium are positioned for success and sustainability and are here to stay.

Here are some excellent resources if you want to learn more about the network, its future goals, and its economic model. The white paper is also a good read.

Ultimately, will Helium succeed? I don't know. But what I do know is that it is positioned for longevity. And like any ultra fast-growing startup, it is working through the kinks of scaling right now. In my opinion, Helium is as sure of a bet within the blockchain/crypto/decentralized wireless space as there is and will benefit all stakeholders, users, and enterprises alike. I don't work for Helium. However, I have been involved with the project for almost three years. It's been gratifying to me monetarily (on paper) and through a lens of my providing service and value to others, while building out the largest contiguous wireless network on Earth.

I recently tested zero tier for a company use case (mobile development, giving a dev phone access to a dev computer, or allowing sharing between dev computers; basically sharing something with a colleague).

Also tested Tail Scale.

Some feedback (only writing this to help you improve):

1. Your UI is horrible. Hire 1-2 front-end/designers and copy everything that tail scale does right.

2. You should add a concept of users with e.g. GitHub as SSO-provider, like tail scale does. Maybe that’s what you’re releasing now?

3. Your docs are very bad compared to tail scale, and you should have much more docs on common scenarios and use cases. For example, mine wasn’t mentioned but is fairly common. You are losing a lot of business here.

4. iOS VPN auto connect functionality is good.

5. You should add some type of global dns, such that we could map all devices/users like this: macbook1.jane.my-company.net (resolve via your network; you host the dns, we provide our domain). Basically what Consul does.

6. If user is authed (see 1 above), auth of devices should be optional.

7. Your language for network rules is too complicated.

8. My impression was that your network software is better than TailScale, but in every other way they beat you (docs, UI, usability, features).

9. iOS app is ugly and have obvious bugs, like you can’t enter text in fields in lower case without hassle.

Couldn’t actually get my use-case to work on tailscale either. They stuff they’re missing is in the works though. Will revisit you both in 6 months.

I’m rooting for you, but you must understand that it’s not only about software, all the packaging around it is also important (and you are severely lacking in this area).
Thanks for the replies, all. It's not looking good for me from the sounds of it.

I was told I have the ability to do self-study before the interview, so I guess I'll dump my free time into it for the next month or two and see how it goes.

I think you may be misunderstanding how @font-face rules and font-family names work. (Or else I'm not understanding how you're stating it.)

See https://www.w3.org/TR/css-fonts-3/#font-family-desc:

> If the font family name is the same as a font family available in a given user's environment, it effectively hides the underlying font for documents that use the stylesheet.

Given CSS such as

body { font-family: Palatino, serif; }
@font-face { font-family: Palatino; src: url(palatino.ttf); }

this will block the browser from using an installed Palatino font and tell it to load the remote resource instead. So it's possible to use

@font-face { font-family: Palatino; src: local("Palatino"), url(palatino.ttf); }

to ask for the locally-installed font if present, falling back to the remote resource otherwise.

Yes, the term "[un]constitutional" can be used in this way. You don't have to have a written constitution to be able to discuss constitutionality. The UK has no written constitution but we have experts in constitutional law.

The problem with the title is that it is heavily editorialised. Not only does the article not use the term "unconstitutional", it doesn't even firmly conclude that the proposed law is contrary to the EU treaties. It outlines an argument to that effect and ends by stating further steps needed to make a strong case.

The article itself has a perfectly good title: "Does monitoring your phone affect the essence of privacy?"
I don't really think it's either for me. I don't see a stream of images when I think, but there's no narration going on either. If I really want to visualize an image I can, and if I really want to think something through in a mental sentence I can (I sometimes do this when walking myself through a tough problem). But that results in a much slower, linear, more deliberate thought. It seems very slow and high effort to think in pictures or words full time.

Maybe consider that the desire of groups of people to be in charge of decisions that affect them, instead of submitting to the decisions of far away rulers, overrides for many people the desire for free money. Many people, for example, want Puerto Rico to be independent, even though they undoubtedly would get more free money if they became a state.

I agree the base crime here appears to be embezzlement. However the actions taken to conceal the embezzlement may be considered laundering. Most embezzlements do involve hiding the money movements, so I would only expect it to be laundering if he mixed the funds with legitimate funds in order to conceal their source. I don't see that in the article.

> 7. Your language for network rules is too complicated.

It's too low-level. We are researching a higher-level way to edit rules in terms of intent rather than the current pf-esque rules language that requires you to deeply understand TCP/IP and such.

That being said it is very powerful and you can do extremely neat stuff with it. It's in some ways more powerful than what you get with enterprise data center SDN products.

Don't get me wrong. I am a huge fan of XML and use it extensively with my own non-browser-platform software. It has indeed turned out to be far more consequential than SGML.

But how of much has anything to do with the use of XML on the web ? I'd argue not much at all. XML's real success has been as one of the first data formats that could really be used to represent more or less anything at all, and very quickly had excellent parser implementations for all the languages that mattered.

To me the most obvious example of the failure of crypto is that nobody in Russia, at a reasonable scale, is using it to evade sanctions. I haven't even heard crypto-advocates explain why this isn't happening.

I hear all these anecdotes about people sending money back to countries in South America, but these clearly are happening at a small scale and with whatever crypto currency being seen as a slightly more complicated version of other money sending apps.

If crypto had a value prop to justify the absurd prices it would be that it would one day replace, or at least compete with, USD as a global currency. The fact that we aren't seeing articles about Russian oligarchs making massive financial transactions using crypto tells me that this will never happen. If ruthless billionaires don't see crypto as a viable means of evading sanctions right now, I can't imagine what conditions would actually make cryptocurrencies succeed.

Of course this brings up the obvious problem with crypto: do you really want to live in that world? For all the positive messaging around decentralized exchange, and anti-government rhetoric involving crypto, the reality isn't that it will be used by radical lovers of freedom to evade oppressive governments, but rather that things like sanctions will be impossible.

Either way, if crypto was going to become a serious player in facilitating financial transactions we would absolutely be seeing it right now. Since we're not, I'm not sure what arguments are left as far as the "you just wait and see!" crypto camp.
It's because crypto has never been anything more than an investment vehicle. Bitcoin was briefly used as a real currency until people realized that it was inflationary in nature and then the mantra became "HODL".
Amen to that. The toxic casino games have choked out 99.99% of the actual games, and that model is now spreading out to other platforms like a cancer.

I think Software education is in its infancy, instead of teaching people how to make debt decisions to keep complexity and costs low, we actively teach them to write disposable code. That is the content of most courses: code that will be thrown away, and that has to be written under tight time constraints.

And when it comes to keeping complexity low, there is zero theory to back up anything, so it's not taught.

Our trade is somewhat similar to reading/writing, and if you were to teach someone to read/write, you would probably insist on good writing, not just "finish your novel at this date, I won't read it anyway". And you would have good material for teaching to read, material that is currently missing.

Exactly, and the "code is law" thing is not going so well, given that many of the programmer error catastrophes thus far have been "solved" by the social consensus of a small clique of developers.

WebAssembly is a sort of web-based compiler. Compiling WebAssembly to x86 isn't that much different from compiling LLVM's IR to x86. And nowadays, you can interop WebAssembly with most modern languages, making it a target of choice for libraries with cross-platform/language needs.

Was this not apparent when every manufacturer was working on Covid tracking in the open? Were people really not aware of the technologies being employed? That technology now exists on every phone that has had any semblance of an update in the past two years. There is no privacy, you have always been and will always be completely trackable.

You can even use ultrasonic sound signatures so your phone doesn't even need to be broadcasting using bluetooth, wifi, or cell. Just the speaker alone at a pitch you cannot hear is enough to track you.

Edit: I enjoy how this gets downvoted for pointing out that technology has downsides...

If you peel back the feverish financialization, there are a few different areas of actual research which might be usable outside crypto, such as consensus methods for distributed computation. The one I have started following is the development of ZK proofs from a theoretical construct into a programming substrate. Traditional complexity texts focus on interactive ZK protocols, but non-interactive ZK proofs have been developed significantly in the crypto world. They have recently become usable for general purpose computing with interesting privacy guarantees: you can prove f(x) = y for a known f and y but without revealing x. This feels very powerful and related to other research fields like differential privacy.

Examples:

- Circom: https://iden3.io/circom

- Cairo: https://www.cairo-lang.org/docs/

- zkREPL: https://0xparc.org/blog/zkrepl
In a very real sense, one of the requirements for being a country is for an entity to actually claim or declare that it is one, so that it can be recognised as one.

So by acceding to "The Treaty of Lisbon" rather than "The Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe", the member states were legally disclaiming the right for the EU to be considered a federation or confederation.

(However, the Treaty of Lisbon did introduce a distinct legal personhood for the EU, which is arguably another necessary condition for a declaration of statehood).
I parsed that as meaning something more like BOINC to distribute the work and piece together the final result.

My suggestion is: you think it will be painful to say no, but: just don't do what they ask.

I really really put a lot of thought into this during years, and usually the best thing you can do is to put a small condition beforehand that will make it a little bit easier for you to help and a little road bump for those asking.
90% of them will back out. This also helps people to understand that there's WORK involved and you do not just clap your hands and solve things. Let them do a piece of that work.

As an example, you need your laptop fixed? Just ask them to make a full backup of their hard drive because if something goes wrong they might lose all their files. Or make an excuse, someone blamed you for losing their files once and now you don't want the responsibility and ask everyone to demonstrate they have a mirror copy of their drive.

People need WiFi set up? Ask them to have ready all the ISP data they need like subscription # in case you need to call, WiFi password if given, and so on. Some of them will figure it out by themselves once they have all the data.

If you let them, people will grind you down without even realizing it. Or they do, and don't care.

So, slightly on a tangent, but I feel it is still applicable: several of the people I work with live in countries with restrictive currency controls, specifically, moving money out of the country above certain trivial sum requires gov permission which is granted for specific purposes only. Opening an account in another country is both illegal from their local perspective and is not straight forward generally for anyone else - I tried opening a US Bank account from the UK and that was not easy. Being paid in BC allows for a lot of flexibility for them.
