People don’t choose iPhone because they want those things, they choose iPhone because they want to be protected from them.

Look at the Lumenate app that was just on hacker news yesterday:

- Android users are complaining about having to create an account to use it

- iOS users just pushed a button and didn’t even have to share their email or make a password

- iOS users who subscribe have one place to manage their subscription, know that Apple will remind them _before_ the subscription auto renews, and know that they won’t be trapped or tricked into continuing to pay.

I don’t know why people on HN think somehow third party payment services are going to be better for Apple’s users than Apple has been. And I don’t know why HN users are so eager to ignore the disaster that the install-exe-from-internet computing mode has been for security.

If you hate Apple so much, use an Android, but once again, keep your grubby hands off my iPhone. I hate that Europeans are trying to make my quality of life worse, like they have been for years with cookie popup bullshit.
It’s Morbin’ Time (Morbius) was a similar recent joke where the comedy came from pretending a bad movie was good.
Living up here in Canada, I have to wonder what the big deal is.

We have no abortion law in Canada. The decision is solely between a woman and her doctor.

Abortion rates are lower now than they were when abortion was illegal. Abortion is legal right up until birth, yet the only late-term abortions are those that are medically necessary.

There is no free-for-all: women are not running out willy-nilly getting abortions, nor are psychopathic doctors encouraging women to abort.

I find it insane that this could ever be anything but a medical decision made exclusively between a woman and her doctor.

While not on Fastmail, I just use Apple Mail, it's fine.

It a real issue though. There aren't really any amazing email clients out there, but I guess that also means different things to different people. Development seems to have stopped after Gmail arrived, which is weird for someone like me who thinks that the Gmail interface is confusing.

If it wasn't for the fact that the majority of emails are HTML these days, I suppose Mutt or Alpine are good email clients.
This line of reasoning has been around as long as the cloud has been a thing, and yet companies are still doing it and seeing better results than running their own data centers. At what point do we put this argument to bed? You want to talk about fear of switching costs? Fedex was still on mainframes, for crying out loud.
Belittling someone - especially over a fact that has a clear true/false outcome - is silly. At best it makes you look like a jerk.

At least google the fact before doubting it.

You can buy an apartment in North Greece, near the sea (200-500m away) for 40k. We're talking 30-40 years old apartment, 1-3 bedrooms, etc. However, in the islands that kind of money won't get you much.

Newspapers are basically racing to answer the question "What's the worst thing that happened in the world today?"

It makes sense to know this on a local level. If a robbery happened 4 houses away, that's useful information.

On a national/global level, this information is a big negative. It's emotionally taxing and 99 times out of 100, it doesn't affect you in any way.

The only problem with this is US national politics has began to dominate a lot of my conversations, so you look like a idiot when you're not read up on the latest headlines.

Kind of interesting.. I would like to point out this seems to be specific for the US.

But also.. In that case, when I commission an artist to paint my portrait, surely I can't claim to be the artist.. But I'm no lawyer.

I'm not sure there is a contractual agreement in GitHub's co-pilot that says: "Any code you write here is commissioned work". But honestly I didn't read the T&C's.

> "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

> So what rights are those? That's up to the courts and lawmakers to decide. And they have. Folks disagree with the choices they made and the justifications they gave.

I'm not a lawyer, but the word "retained" seems pretty significant there. You can't retain something you don't have. I wouldn't be surprised if that was meant not as some kind of mechanism for adding new rights in the future, but as clarification to not remove rights that were understood at the time but not listed (e.g. for reasons of economy or forgetfulness).

Also, IIRC, Roe v. Wade did not appeal to the Ninth Amendment, so bringing it up is a bit of a red herring.

> For example, I disagree that a right which has been in place for 50 years, with millions of women exercising that right yearly, is somehow not part of the US' social and moral fabric.

I was talking about it being an de-facto amendment relative to the situation when it was passed in 1973.

>>> EDIT: Side note - the court wasn't even being asked to overturn Roe v Wade - they took that upon themselves. All that was being contested was a state's ability to limit abortions beyond the first trimester (something commonly allowed as part of the "balance" between states rights and women's rights built upon RvW).

>> IIRC, it could have chosen to resolve it that way, but the parties turned the case into a challenge about Roe v. Wade itself in their arguments, which gave an opening for a broader ruling.

> The SCOTUS did that. As noted in Roberts' concurring opinion (which was still one of the 4 votes against), this specific case could have been solved without tearing down the RvW ruling.

The parties opened the door:

https://www.nytimes.com/live/2021/12/01/us/abortion-mississi...:

> In the [Mississippi’s] petition seeking Supreme Court review, officials told the justices that “the questions presented in this petition do not require the court to overturn Roe or Casey,” though lawyers for the state did raise the possibility in a footnote. Once the court agreed to hear the case, the state shifted its emphasis and began a sustained assault on those precedents.

It's true the court could have rejected that and went narrower (Robert's preference), but it appears to not be true that "the court wasn't even being asked to overturn Roe v Wade" -- it was during oral arguments.

It's rare, but there are enough strange instance types that it's possible.
I think a good DBA ought to be able to better than an automatic process possibly could. The database can't know whether an index ought to be unique, you have to understand the data model to know that. You might want to make an index multi-column even if you aren't using all the columns the first time you make a query, but again you need a human-level understanding of the data model to do that. And if you already have indexes that work reasonably well, you can't expect an automatic optimizer to realize it could do even better by replacing existing indices.
That being said, an automatic indexer could probably be "good enough" in many cases.

Before refreshing the thread I wondered if I was overlooking something in your earlier post, it feels so strange to me to assume a record company/studio are involved!
Wasn't this confirmed to be a marketing myth?
I travel back and forth between App Store regions frequently, and some things are only available in one place or the other. I’d also like the ability to actually use a different browser, not just reskinned Safari. There would probably also be some interesting open source stuff you could install.
I'm not quibbling over anything. I disagree with "Unheard of actors is generally a good thing when doing a new series" and the logic provided. It's just ridiculous on its face. Generally, people with more experience produce better results. Generally, people who have a history of producing better results produce better results. Who would have thought?
It'd be good to see the age trends of major Hollywood executives too; I can't imagine they were ever especially young but are we possibly just having close to zero new blood coming in over the last few decades so the ones making the decisions are still the ones who decided all these names should be stars in the first place.

Beyond that a lot of it would be that society has changed in a manner that it's just very hard to have a movie star today that has the level of widespread fame that a Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt attained in the 90s.

You've also got a lot more actors who know how to handle their careers long enough to protect their status; there's a template the likes of Robert Redford built out by getting so involved in the overall process that still helps a lot.
At least we will know to steer clear of it until he stops winning Pwnies.
Do you suppose that might be an outmoded historical bias? I'm wondering if maybe the advancement of hardware has made it so that the costs of AOT compilation and a type system should no longer stand in the way of delivering a reasonable REPL experience. Swift's "playgrounds" seems to do alright — a real outlier in this regard.

My take on this is that they want iOS to integrate RCS directly into Messages, given tons of other features are already widely supported by the os [0][1][2]. Google Messages (runs on top of RCS) currently only provides encryption when both sides are using Google Messages, so unless Apple and Google create a unified standard it won't be E2EE.

There are many more, but just on those two streamers that's a dozen+ shows that I've been really impressed by in one way or the other over the last year. And my list to watch has just as much on it.

As for a direct recommendation, I highly suggest you check out Severance if you like Westworld. It's slower burn, but similarly twisty sci-fi thriller.
it's basic thermodynamics. you mixed the two, as i explained previously, and now you're leaning into the misconception, rather than acknowledging the difference.

> With the locked-down Apple app store

If people actually cared about this argument, then they would jump to the immediate and obvious solution to it.

Simply allow users to choose an option, that allows the phone to be locked down. If you want to go hardcore, make it require a factory reset to change, if you actually care that much.

This way everyone wins. People who want some locked down, gimped phone, can choose to do that. And everyone else can choose to not turn on "child mode".
This is exactly the way I use tabs outliner. I really hope BrainTool can allow this kind of relaxed usage in case the user prefers.

| the idea of dark patterns in UI/UX is a relatively new concept

Relative to what? Before the web?

I left one of the first technologies companies I had ever worked for (huge name more than 20 years ago) specifically because they were using dark patterns. Not even in web UI, but in their installer for actual software (which was to be used in conjunction with the web). Specifically, swapping default and representative checkbox states. You know, the "now that we've set them up to uncheck for opting out, we'll show the next box unchecked and the user has to check it to opt-out" trick.

Disk space is becoming less of an issue in cloud environment with the rise of multi-tenant storage: aurora, neon (i'm ceo of neon). The cost of index maintenance is real and should be considered.

Due to the multivariable nature of the this problem ML is the right approach to solve it and the ability to "prove" that it will work is also key.
I also really like their masked email feature, it's so useful to click and create a throwaway email address to use for different sites and services.
Qualifying it with "near the sea" and NOT seaside you could include some of Baja, Mexico areas around Rosarito. $100k these days though won't get you the best place, but if you could swing $200k you can get a condo in an older building and/or a small house.

You can purchase something in a village between Rosarito / Ensenada for $100k too.
Azure Cosmos also has a default index which you can override for better performance.

K. Lisa Yang Center for Bionics at MIT (Hugh Herr and Broadcom Family)
It's a funny Dilbert-esque visual to think about some cocky MBA who doesn't know about guns trying to guide a platoon of hard-nosed marines, but your analogy doesn't particularly work for me because of one key difference. Weapons are physical objects. This physicality of real-world objects is key IMO. Learning the basics of how physical objects work can be taught to almost anybody of even low intelligence. We prove this in times of war by ramping up training very quickly so basically anybody above room-temperature IQ can be quickly trained in various guns and equipment. Even if you assume that an MBA doesn't know what end of a mortar shoots out stuff on day 1, this is the kind of thing that anybody can learn.

Software and Internet stuff is much harder for the layperson to learn because so much of this stuff is abstract. There's no real world equivalent for much of what we talk about and there's no Internet you can physically hold in your hand and easily create a mental model for.

Personally speaking, I'd say that technical managers who have the capacity to code are ideal, but I'm fine with them as long as they understand the domain. If I'm talking about some potential issues with some HTTP request in a call, I don't care if a manager doesn't understand the nitty gritty details about HTTP headers, but they should understand what a request is and at least have a basic understanding of what is going on and how to explain it credibly to whoever they need to to avoid wasting my time on 13 separate meetings with different departments and stakes holders to explain the same issue over and over again.
Many thanks for the detailed explanation!
>configurable DPI is still extremely buggy, extended color spaces haven't even started development

Those have started development. They're not done yet. Compare to X11 where no one is working on fixing those things.

>Wayland doesn't feature support for AppIndicators

App indicators are not a wayland or X thing, the API has been in dbus for some 10 odd years now.

>but rather to offer simple hooks in the code for the vast majority (eg. KDE, i3wm, Sway, Budgie, GNOME 3, MATE, LXDE, XFCE, etc.) of desktops that would want that functionality? It's another anti-cooperative move on the behalf of GNOME's development team, which is why it's no wonder that the rest of the community has abandoned the prospect of working with them.

I have absolutely no idea what you're trying to say here, all those other desktops do already have their own way they implemented app indicators. For GNOME it is available via an extension. There is nothing anti-cooperative about this and nothing was abandoned.

>Wayland simply isn't complete. The vast majority of desktop applications run worse on it. I despise x11 for being as crusty and stiff as it is, but I can run it on all of my systems without any problems. I can't do that with Wayland, and until I can, I have no reason to switch. x11 is superior for my workflow, full stop. There's no appeal to use it when only one or two of my computers actually run it well, and the rest have horrible showstopping bugs.

I don't think this matters much, most of them are very small niche projects in the already small Linux niche. If you found bugs then report them, there is no other way they get fixed. Staying on x11 forever is not a viable option. Wayland probably won't ever be complete, but x11 is both incomplete and abandoned.
Bitbucket tried.
cperciva, if you're around, I'd be really curious to hear a bit more about the details behind your attempts to get "Cache Missing for Fun and Profit". I'm really surprised that it was so hard to find a home for it! Maybe a more general security venue like USENIX Sec, ACM CCS, or IEEE S&P would have been a better fit for something that was neither fish nor fowl? Just a couple years later in 2008 USENIX Sec published "Reverse-Engineering a Cryptographic RFID Tag" which is a personal favorite and similarly is a mix of low-level hardware architecture and cryptography.

There were two other shared CPU cache side channel attacks on cryptography in 2005 (DJB's "Cache-timing attacks on AES" [2] and Osvik/Shamir/Tromer's "Cache Attacks and Countermeasures: the Case of AES" [3]) so in some ways it feels like the time was right for the community to start finding these attacks -- which makes it all the more baffling to me that your work got rejected.

I'm also a bit dismayed at the advice not to work on anything too novel. I guess it's true in some ways (our Chaff Bugs [4] paper and an associated grant proposal got rejected for four years straight with comments like "the panel was uniformly skeptical that anyone would ever be willing to use this" [5]), but it feels from the inside that it just takes more work to convince people to take a chance on new ideas, and that the larger issue is just how much inherent randomness there is in the peer review system [6] (my advisor used to say it wasn't worth paying attention to the first rejection, and not to worry until it was rejected a second time -- and I think it's only gotten worse since then). Good work gets rejected all the time, and it sucks :(

Anyway, you clearly seem pretty happy with how things ended up, so perhaps I'm just saying that I'm disappointed that we in academic security missed out on the opportunity to have you as a colleague ;)
