Let's be clear. Green vs blue is a bit of a red herring.

The real issue is that Apple has to have some fallback protocol for texting with non-iMessage devices, but refusing to upgrade the fallback protocol beyond SMS/MMS makes the texting experience worse for everyone, as described in the article.

(To avoid additional red herrings. No one is thinking here about opening up iMessage itself to non-Apple clients, just upgrading the fallback option. Also, I can't speak for everyone, but among the non-terminally-online Gen Xer and late-Millennial Americans I know, "texting" means using the built-in app on your phone. Switching to another app is a relationship step. Many of them are blithely unaware that they can't "just" text a photo or video to me or other Android users, nor that I can't just sign out of a group chat when I feel like it.)
Intel can make money from deep learning accelerators even if they fail to get the gaming market this generation.
I very much prefer this approach as well. Way better than endless chaining of this().that().repeat().million().times().
Once upon a time, I couldn't see myself moving to an iPhone because of the limited options for ad blocking. Now that ad blocking on Brave iPhone presumably works, Apple's messaging behavior is the last thing that keeps me away. On the occasions when I get stuck in a group chat outside Signal and someone has an iPhone, it always seems to break the chats. Otherwise the iPhone mini seems like it would be a great option.
I find it interesting how many HN'ers now don't think consumer protection is a good thing.

(Actually, in hindsight it isn't that surprising. Tech companies only make the money they do because of the lack of consumer protections... so definitely in most HN'ers interest to keep the status quo.
Yeah it does and Google removing XMPP federation from Google talk should means

"What happens when they no longer stand to benefit the most?"

should probably come up.
My understanding is that they are starch and cellulose, so I'd expect them to eventually completely degrade like any other plant material. I'm not an expert, but that seems to be the point of products made with it.

Our liquor store (LCBO) used to have bags made from the same stuff. When our provincial premiere got everyone to charge 5c for each plastic bag, they just stopped using it entirely and went to paper bags. I liked those original compostable/recyclable ones because they were less stretchy and therefore less likely to break than normal plastic grocery bags, and way easier to carry because of the handles.

But the same reasoning applied - it was more expensive than paper bags, so that's all they use there now, too.
The article makes a similar point in the section titled “A Dictionary Date” — There’s a lot of new concepts and resource types to learn with Kubernetes that force you of your application in a different way. It’s pretty powerful and logical once you learn it, but it does take a different mind set.

Fortunately, the API is programatic, so it’s possible to build abstractions on top to make dealing with those concepts easier. But that can also take a lot of work to build from scratch…
If you go this route I would mention that I had a really good experience creating a C library in Rust. Lets you use a modern language for your shared logic but still be very portable. I believe you can do the same thing with Zig and maybe Nim as well. And there are probably others

The opt-out is global. I could not keep using iMessage on iPad and SMS on Android as long as Apple account is associated with the same mobile phone number.

Also, changing the mode of communication withot asking or informing users sounds like a bad idea. I send you SMS from my phone. You see it in your iMessage and type a reply and it goes back to my iPad.
Yeah I did not know you could use any TOTP besides Google Auth but even that that's not an option that's presented to me anymore at the moment now that I'm checking.

As much as I agree with this in principle, there is absolutely no denying that Apple is abusing their power when it comes to consumer lock-in.

I find it very hard to argue against regulation which is only meant to make devices more interoperable. USB-C for charging is mature enough at this point that it seems reasonable to declare it THE charging port.

An interesting - partially ironic - observation here, is that Apple actually designed the reversible USB-C connector and submitted it to the USB-IF - a team of bureaucrats. Bureaucrats, who of course previously were responsible for blunders such as micro-USB-B 3.0, and more recently, the ambiguous shitshow that is the current state of the USB spec.

I wholeheartedly believe that Apple is such a design-driven company that they would actually engage with regulators again (gasp, even the EU), if they were to come up with a better connector design down the road. Everybody wins.
It's a bit of everything but yeah, what I've seen is basically that Intel has a combination of absolutely insane talent working on some really hard problems and a lot of mediocre talent that they churn through.

And the reality is that yeah, with their comp for engineers so abysmally bad why would anyone really go there? Especially when it's not like they're getting great WLB.
Amazing! Thanks for letting me know.

Sounds like iMessage spam is already a problem (if another poster in this thread is to be believed).

Since I'm on Android, I'm stuck using SMS a lot, since most people I know have iPhones. I do get some SMS spam, but not a ton, and most of it is auto-flagged and I never see it.

> Blame the cretins that spam people.

SMS and voice call spam is actually a solved problem, but carriers have been dragging their feet implementing the solutions (and have lobbied the US government to give them more time). Killing spam does not require our devices to be locked down. Carriers deserve some blame here too.

But I don't really care about blame, I care about outcomes. Blaming spammers isn't going to fix anything. Forcing carriers to implement the required technical measures to stamp out spam... that could actually work.

Google claiming that RCS includes end-to-end encryption here is misleading.

Encryption got explicitly axed from the RCS spec because carriers don't like it.

The end-to-end crypto they're talking about is a custom Google thing and not part of RCS.

Friends don't let friends use unencrypted everyday communications.

Reject RCS and reject Google platform marketing.

PS: Note also that iMessage has a crypto backdoor maintained by Apple for the FBI; Google should not be encouraging iMessage to become more useful/popular, as this reduces privacy and makes people less safe.

I think putting this story as an argument for abortion and arguing that this is not “universally crime” is hurting “pro-choice” movement since this type of abortion will not be legal even in California.

Let’s focus on real problem: this poor kid needed to wait for 22 weeks. She was probably scared, intimidated, abused, and nobody was there to help. And sure Facebook is guilty here.

Just because "Stock Image Sites" haven't sued Dall-E, doesn't mean it is legal.

Yes, that also goes for paper cups with the wax coating. They don't biodegrade and they aren't recyclable because of the wax. That's probably the same coating you mention. It seems that this solution just replaces one problematic material with another when it coats something that would otherwise be biodegradable.
And that is all well and good until the pace of automation outstrips the community's ability to absorb the externality. Then it's not going to be the AI dream future, but heads on spikes. We have hit those points in history before.

Geography is not the reason why it's been nearly impossible to get an abortion in conservative states for 50 years. Lack of access is a huge barrier to women who need abortions, which largely are the vulnerable, young, poor, people of color, and those with health complications.

> Because of the "stupid X", modern XMPP supports far more than it used to, and isn't stuck in the past like email and SMS.

Yeah, it’s dead. Maybe XMPP supports shiny stuff. But no client or server support them, and if they do it’s like they don’t understand the spec the same way.

A protocol should not be extensible, it should be full featured and regularly updated to include new needs. It should also propose a reference implementation and an official client so that there’s a clear baseline.

Matrix is doing it way better than XMPP ever did.

Is this article implying that they had a long position in cryptocoins? I thought they only held them on behalf of their customers, who were the ones taking the risks, while they reaped transaction fees. Or did they really lose money just because their trading volume fell?

The data the plastic straw bans were based on was entirely made up by a 9 year old[1][2][3] for a school report.

Network effect. SMS works everywhere, all phones support it out-of-the-box. WhatsApp is opt-in. Almost nobody I communicate with regularly has a WhatsApp account.

That's all very reasonable and I agree with pretty much all of it, with the caveat that asking people participating in a society to give up some of their convenience in some situations is fairly routine, for both men and women. And also, as far as I'm aware, there is no state in the US in which mothers are absolutely forced to raise their offspring.
For some reason whatsapp/telegram/etc haven't taken off nearly as well in the US as they have in the rest of the world.

NYT had an article about this recently- https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/02/technology/sms-whatsapp.h...
This is such a weirdly US specific issue. It's hard to understand why people in this country refuse to adopt a data-based messaging service such as Signal or WhatsApp like the rest of the world has. Why are US citizens so set on having a terrible experience when messaging half of the population? How did other countries decide that using platform agnostic messaging services are better? I believe the UK has a similar split in Android/iOS users, yet they largely use WhatsApp.

In a way, it feels perfectly inline with America. We use Imperial when everyone else uses Metric. We use Fahrenheit when everyone else uses Celsius. But in this case, it's not as if our government led us down this path. The problem was entirely created by our market of users.

Ultimately, poor communication stifles society and innovation. It's in all of our best interests to improve the current situation. Sure, better alternatives such as Signal exist, but we will have to move mountains to convert everyone onto a new service. For now, I think it's best if we all apply pressure to Apple to adopt RCS. It's significantly better than where we are now, and that's a good thing.
I thought this was going to be a tongue in cheek announcement to wit-

A chaos actor with malintent executed a social engineering attack and thereby acquired sensitive private data from several million active human accounts with the goal we believe to misclassify humans as bots and thereby thwart the actor's own publicly but impulsively stated goal of acquiring Twitter and becoming custodian of this data. This actor is still at large though we expect to see him in Delaware Chancery Court in September where he will be punished for his impulsive chaos.
Why is all abortion law immoral?

Why can't we draw a line somewhere before 28 weeks and say that if you want an abortion, you have to decide before 7 months have gone by?

People build botnets by enticing people to install trojans on their computers, e.g. a free utility app or game.

They can then earn money from people who want to rent access to these botnets.

There are also free VPN services who, in their fine print, say that users grant them permission to route other traffic via their connections.

basically it's the lowest common denominator. There are so many chat apps out there (signal, sms, fb, ig are popular in my circles) and the default app is the only one everyone has installed.

For people close to me, I insist on the use of signal, but I don't have that kind of social capital with every single acquaintance.
> Is there any viable reason why Apple users use SMS so much?

They don't. At least not in my experience. I have an iPhone, but there's about a 50/50 split ios/android in my friends and family.

Group chats are almost entirely WhatsApp, and single messages are a blend of WhatsApp, iMessage and SMS.

I probably use SMS/MMS once a week

Maybe some genetic test results came back indicating severe problems, or the mother got a diagnosis herself, or the father has backed out of support. It's hard to judge without intimidate knowledge of the circumstances.
The US market standardized on mobile plans with unlimited texting a long, long time ago, so I think this caused people to mostly stick to SMS/MMS for communication since it was the path of least resistance. I don't know what the situation in Europe is like now, but in the past I remember it being difficult to find plans without very small SMS caps when traveling. That could be why Europeans naturally gravitated towards other messaging platforms.
Moving to a more rural area (though still a college town) has been eye opening.

I've lived in my house for two years. Google Maps still doesn't know it exists (Apple Maps does, but that is a recent development).

The number of business whose websites, directions, etc. have to note that Google Maps is lying to you, and under no circumstances turn right there, are staggering. As is the algorithm's deep desire to take you off a highway and send you down a gravel road because it's theoretically faster.
In fact, you can. See, for example ACE model, which explicitly attempts to separate generic causation from shared environment and from non-shared environment. This can be done using twin studies, by comparing correlations between monozygotic vs dizygotic twins on various variables of interest, see Falconer’s formula for example.

This research is not new, it has been done for many decades now. The word “heritability” has a well established technical meaning.
Vulkan compute might, over time, take root.

The fact that a similar API can be used for training on servers, inference from laptops to phones, is an appealing proposition

The degree of market penetration that Android has maintained for that 15 years is a pretty impressive feat, both strategically and technically.
I'm asserting that a decision was made that SMS messages were green.

Then a decision was made that iMessage messages would be blue.

I'm asserting this was not done with animosity. It was a decision by Apple's UX team to make it easy to visually identify the difference between the message mechanics and capabilities of the end-user.

It is remarkably simple, effective and easily understood.

If Apple chose to make it so there was no visual distinction between the message sending mechanisms, that would be a worse, and more confusing, user experience.

If Apple changed the colors, whatever the new colors they chose to use would just be the new focus of the debate. It would become "Orange Bubbles vs Blue Bubbles" or "Purple Bubbles vs Blue Bubbles". People would argue that Apple chose the new color based on some secondary negative characteristic of the new color, just as they do today with green.
No, frames predate the modern internet. Actually, one of the very first CVEs was related to XSS and birthed cross-origin policies.

> Google is ultimately at the mercy of the carriers

Yet again I recall the deal with the devil Apple did with AT&T, giving them a year or two of exclusive rights to sell the iPhone in return for having exactly zero control over the device. That was an excellent trade. Before 2007, carriers were intrusively involved with all aspects of a mobile phone.
Apple will probably be forced to open up their iMessage implementation once the Digital Markets Act will be adopted, forcing large messenger companies to make their messaging services interoperable.

If they're smart, they work together with Google and other large messenger providers to form some sort of secure standard. If they keep being stubborn, they'll be forced to either stop selling iMessage in Europe or accept consequences to their technology much worse than cooperation. I'm no fan of breaking E2EE for interoperation, but since none of the big market players seem interested in working together, I think this will be unavoidable. It's a shame, really, that it had to come to regulation to get the market to work in the users' favour.

This probably won't matter to users outside the EU but big changes are coming over here.
