To clarify what this is about regarding Apple:

After a year long market study, the CMA has concluded that Apple's browser engine ban on iOS in anti-competitive and distort the browser market, as well as limit the capabilities of web apps on iOS and on the entire mobile eco-system. They note that it is obviously to their own benefit, as a weaker web on iOS results in a stronger exclusive and captive native app eco-system, which they can tax at will.

The CMA is now set to start a market investigation reference (MIR) which will give them the power to impose changes to Apple. The number one remedy considered is requiring Apple to stop banning competing engines on iOS.

Middle ground certainly exists and has done for decades already. MacOS X has shipped with a very capable PKI GUI for a long time. It's obscure and not well known, but:

1. Start the Keychain App and you can manage your certs and keys.

2. Click the app menu, Certificate Assistant and then one of the options there to open wizards for various PKI related tasks.

The certificate assistant is quite amazing. It can do an enormous amount of stuff, including things like actually running a whole CA for you complete with creating root certs, intermediate certs, gathering CSRs, converting them into issued certs, evaluating cert validity, rendering cert contents and so on.

People don't know about it because only developers interact with certs really, and documentation likes to have copy/pasteable commands that work on Linux as well as OS X.

Found it interesting that the author describes CLM as a vertical the requires strict access control then describes how they are viewing those secure contracts. Sounds like lack of production controls was the true fatal flaw!

I’m assuming they had a better way of analysis than actually reading contracts since most vendor procurement processes I’ve seen require attestation of data privacy..

> cost of an RDS instance

If RDS is expensive, you can always spin up your own DB deployment, you can use an EC2 instance, or you can just run it via ECS or EKS.

You buy those beefy servers, and where do you put them? you need a data center, where you need data center grade internet lines, you need staff to maintain all that.

> Similarly on the ops/infra folks cost save, for every on-prem infra guy they think they can RIF, they've hired a cloud infra guy who for sure costs more.

I disagree, you will need less cloud infra people, who will likely cost more, however everything will end up being more reliable than having a legion manually maintain everything.

> Likewise for the redundancy/backups/etc being "easy/free" in the cloud, we've already lost data in object store because of poorly execute combination of configuration & actions when try to do some permission changes/copy migration. It was completely unintentional and not noticed for weeks. No one actually executed a literal rm command at the time. Just because the object store advertises zero loss / versioning / etc, you really do still need to do backups.

Did you ever lose data by properly putting something to S3 or Glacier and not doing anything with it?

> However for internal apps at a firm where the usage is largely scaled with staffing levels, the amount of fixed compute makes it hard to argue every app and every use case belongs in the cloud.

It's actually easy to argue:
- the world is not going to stay stagnant, if I need 1 more server tomorrow, I can get it in minutes on the Cloud, use it and get rid of it whenever I no longer have a need for it.
- the on-prem costs are downplayed, people usually just talk about the cost of the metal and forget the upkeep and extra staff required
- the on-prem reliability can be very questionable, hardware failures can cause disasters
- cloud stacks can be easier to maintain and hand over, you have less hardware and less operating systems to worry about

So you are saying that MS Office products have 'truly great UI design'? You must be using a different version than me. The web-based version is full of bugs and the traditional desktop version is neither a good choice for well trained nor for complete newbies. Instead it is some kind of weird compromised.

To give an example of not so great design: One thing that bothers me every day is the dialog that comes up when you want to 'save as' a file. There are about 3 different versions you can go through, depending on, if you want to use Sharepoint/Teams, OneDrive or you local machine to save the file. They all have different capabilities (e.g. some allow creating new folders), appearances and some are only usable if you want to use a recently used location.

Granted MS Office certainly has not the worst UI design, but in my opinion, those applications are pretty far away from 'truly great UI design'.
While certainly not wanting to ruing the humorous undertones here, just for the benefit of other readers it's important to point out that the lack of third party trust has a very specific meaning.

Take for web for example. It is trustless in the same manner. There is no third party (apart from the web browser and the server) that you need to trust in order for you to view a web page. There is no International Web Organization that you need to procure permission from in order to set up a web server. You just start it. (And, conversely, also why so much bad actors exist on the web.)

This is fundamentally a different system than for example all economic transactions, apart from cash. This is why some people argues against the cashless society for not being trustless, and also what the people who experiment with private monetary systems study.
I didn't say it's not a valid use, I said that it's not it's primary use.

Paragraphs relate to grouping content[1], not textual one. There's no logic in paragraphs.

I quote here the official spec, which makes various examples of how paragraphs are not related to logical paragraphs:

> The solution is to realize that a paragraph, in HTML terms, is not a logical concept, but a structural one. In the fantastic example above, there are actually five paragraphs as defined by this specification: one before the list, one for each bullet, and one after the list.

And I'll quote also the definition on MDN:

> The <p> HTML element represents a paragraph. Paragraphs are usually represented in visual media as blocks of text separated from adjacent blocks by blank lines and/or first-line indentation, but HTML paragraphs can be any structural grouping of related content, such as images or form fields.

Failing to realize that paragraphs are grouping rather than logical content leads to frequent misuses of paragraphs and this comment section is literally filled by bad paragraphs examples which suggests the community is largely ignorant on html.

Or — you can wrap logical parts into a try-catch block, because it doesn’t really makes sense to throw 263 different errors for the same logical unit of work.

Also, bubbling up is the sane default, even if you are writing a fast script/trying out some code it won’t clutter anything and you will be notified to handle the problems once you want to write robust code. While in Go you will just put empty if errs and will forget about the whole thing, swallowing errors which are arguably the worst thing.

- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31463534 (Yeah, you are right that there is no such thing as an "ideal" world. What you are missing is that also applies to the anti-crypto mentality, who think that just because they were born in a place with functional institutions, they think that is the natural state of things.

You are correct. More critically, your comment shines the spotlight on the fact that such minor nuances in learning a second language mark immigrants. In certain contexts it can be a limiting factor.

It's expensive? I really don't get that. That solid hardwood dresser that you build yourself, could easily last 100 years. The ikea stuff won't last a fraction of that. You shouldn't compare a store bought dresser with something you make yourself.

Also if you don't want the expense, there's plenty of small things you can make with a handful of tools. Whittling and carving is quite cheap and very satisfying.

I would hope that this ends with Apple being pressured to make changes. Whether Apple will comply in a way that meets the spirit of the requirement is an entirely different question. I can see them allowing other engines, hamstringing them or otherwise adding friction, and blaming it on “security” reasons.

> Almost no SMB views contract management as an urgent problem.

If you are a solving a problem your target market doesn’t care about, you’re not going to get adoption. This isn’t a product problem or a top-down vs bottom-up problem.
I have been bitten by this. It is quite weird imho.
I agree. Trust is fundamental to human society, and without it we can't function. No matter how many fancy technological solutions you layer on top.

I think there's a deeper problem that you're ignoring. The desire for trustless systems didn't materialize out of nothing, as has been pointed out many times in the cryptocurrency discussion space. Some of it is surely coming from a libertarian angle of absolute personal freedom to avoid the "unfair" regulation from the government, to avoid the compulsions the state imposes on each of us in order to grant us the rights it does. I think that's a very small part of it though.

I think most of the desire for "zero-trust" comes from a disillusion of the current parties seen as trusted. I can at least say that this is what drives the desire within me. It's very hard to see the fairness in paying taxes when I see the people labeled the most trustworthy abuse the system to hide money in tax havens all while using their entrusted positions to lead the economy of the world into an ever deepening hole. When we see the actors labeled "trustworthy" acting maliciously, it becomes hard to trust the system that calls them "trustworthy".

I go to work every day where I'm asked to ignore my own instincts and instead do whatever some faceless "process" claims is the right thing to work on. I'm asked to ignore the horrible state of our products and instead focus on the massive piles of money we shovel in the door from out entrusted position as a financial institution. Meanwhile I can turn on the TV to see the very same people talk about how they just couldn't have known that billions were being stolen from my government because it's just so hard to be a bank. That shit does stuff to your trust in other people and I'm not alone in that disillusionment.

In that light I think the discussion makes much more sense, even if it doesn't make it any more helpful. Trust is still important, but the current method of obtaining trust, and the by extension people we imbue with it, is broken. For someone in the middle of that, it becomes very logical to discard the whole thing like a junior rewriting a legacy business app.
> This is the crux of it really. It makes a whole lot of sense to have cascading styles in documents. I don’t want to have to explicitly set a text colour for each individual paragraph.

But that’s what you’re doing when you use scoped styles, components, Tailwind etc.

Just set it once, on body and forget about it for the lifetime of your app.

> I pretty much never want their styling to be modified by the context in which they’re used.

I guess we have worked on different projects. To me this sounds like the edge case. Most projects I’ve worked on want all the components/widgets/thingies in one consistent style that works together for a cohesive overall experience. For such situations (which to me feel like the majority case) the cascade is the simplest tool.
You can also merge the code, add a feature flag system so that each feature is optional. Complexity goes up a little bit with all those checks, but almost always worth it...
