> Unless you're talking about the equivalent of at-will employment (as far as salary and benefits are concerned) with the firing/leaving restrictions of a contract, "contract work" is absolutely not equivalent to what employees typically get in an at-will arrangement.

I'm not really sure why you felt the urge to say this, but perhaps you should be aware that "contractor" status contrasts with "full-time employee" status, not with "at will employment".

At-will specifies who can terminate the contract and on what grounds. It's not relevant to the contractor / FTE distinction.

It's not a "reasonable" ask if you're Apple, selfish, and therefore want iMessage to remain superior to SMS at all costs, because it's part of your luxury appeal.
The list of partner vendors have a lot of smart people and influence, but there are key players who are absent from it, but are some of the most important players in IAA/IAM. To me the notable ones who have more customer traction than some of them on the list are companies like Apple, Hashicorp, Forgerock, Tanium, and any of the emerging self sovereign identity and blockchain identity vendors who all still have non-linear growth in front of them.

I have worked on and partnered with some of the largest public sector digital identity schemes in the world, and almost none of the players who actually have traction in those organizations are represented. Microsoft has their B2B service, which is the inferior product you choose when you don't have expertise, and even though I think Okta is an excellent product and Duo (via Cisco) are fantastic, most of the parties represented aren't what developers, architects, and the people who actually build and use these techs would select. I realize these are IAA/IAM products, but ZTA has a bootstrapping problem without a foundation in identity. (Though I was glad to see Oracle wasn't on the list, even though they are the identity elephant in the room.)

I like Zero Trust as a concept, but it's going to take more organic growth and integration with IAM and with the traction of companies like those missing vendors to make it viable. The players on the list right now are all enterprise vendors, but it's startups who are the ones growing and adopting standards - and using those missing organic-demand vendors whose customers actually want their tech instead of having it imposed. The growth companies hold the real influence on standards implementation because they are the adopters. Enterprise customers aren't going to change anytime soon, and having enterprise (slow linear to flat growth) vendors as your partner channel seems risky. I agree ZTA will be a thing, but without exposure to non-linear growth, they may just be inventing another SAML.
They should implement the version (and extensions) that gives them interoperability with the most users. Which, yes, would probably be whatever Google implemented, including the E2EE extensions. This... isn't really hard?

Jonathan Swan's reporting during the Trump era and Sara Fischer's coverage of the media and Big Tech kept Axios relevant.

The Russians had offered to the British to land on the Baltic shore of Germany and march towards Berlin, if only the Brits could take them there. With the High Seas Fleet still in being, the Royal Navy had its Grand Fleet tied in patrol duties in the North Sea.

In the event of a victory at Jutland, the UK could have taken the Russian offer. Russia was quite serious about going on an offensive, they started the Brusilov campaign only days after Jutland. If the Germans were forced to move troops to protect Berlin, then either the Western or the Eastern front might have collapsed.

There is an interesting presentation titled death of optimizing compilers, where it is claimed that programs increasingly are either in their hot path where performance is absolutely crucial and not even C/C++ is sufficiently low-level (you can achieve 2-3 orders of magnitude faster code by hand-optimized assembly), or on cold paths where even Bash would suffice.

Nonetheless, I found that it is easy to find these hot spots and they are trivial to “fix” in java for optimal performance, by simply using a primitive array. At every other place, Java is more than fast enough even with the occasional “jumping around”.

Also, haven’t seen a study on that but would be interested in Java’s defragmentation skills (due to moving GC). Malloc implementations can fragments a lot, and cold path code jumps around a lot. Wouldn’t be surprised if Java would fair quite well here.
Apple also collects timestamps for app usage (iOS and MacOS), tracks Spotlight usage and tracks your iPhone with Find My by default. This insidious behavior is widespread, and saying it's only Google's issue is comically hypocritical. Malware is a rampant issue on both operating systems, both iOS 16 and Android 12 have zero-click exploits that allow completely rooted control of the device.

I'd argue Google competes just fine. If you hate Google, then use AOSP or an AOSP-derived OS; there's not a drop of Google, Apple or anyone code out of the box. Of course, I'd wager that 'privacy and security' don't matter as much to IT folks as brand-loyalty or ease-of-use, so it's all a bit of a moot point in the end. Arguing that either of these OSes is more secure than the other is a bad comedy routine; they're both being spied on by PRISM, they're both vulnerable to NSO Pegasus.
My favorite article from that blog, I always cite it whenever I see someone asking about garbage collectors. The other posts about programming language design and implementation are really great too, they made a huge impression on me.
It is worth learning considering a few things. The ruleset is freakishly simple and the docs are good. The speed at which you can prototype a gui is somewhat unparalleled. The ability to glue or automate different bits of software is often better than bash. It is called the tool command language after all, though they'll never get me to stop saying tickle.
The Amazon CDK is a breath of fresh air and I love working with it, coming from a CloudFormation background. For myself, I can just `cdk synth` and take a peek at the output to conclude "yes, that's what I would have written and the TypeScript saved me hours of reading CF documentation".

However, for others on my team coming in without the CF background, it feels a little like voodoo and as soon as they tread off the "standard path" I find myself getting pulled in to do the "hard stuff".
Click on the message thread, click on the sender at the top of the thread, select "info" for the contact, at the bottom select "block". Not obvious, I'll agree, but you can definitely block it (it should be a much shorter path). This works for iMessages and SMS.

A lot of time the centralized ops team is very slow or just not very good. Your tickets may take weeks to be processed, or critical requirements are ignored, or maybe central ops team only cares about closing tickets and does minimal possible work to satisfy the letter of the requirement.

But if your team has someone who can do this and the autonomy to proceed, then your can work much faster -- no need to wait weeks for to allow the other team to access your data, you can grant the permission yourself in under a day.
AMD has beat NVIDIA in terms of performance and/or perf/watt more than NVIDIA has beaten AMD. Just because NVIDIA has larger market share does not mean they were/are winning. If you need to go back and look at history, look at history. The majority of the time AMD beat the snot out of NVIDIA.

In the past, AppleIDs could be created with only email address, and not phone numbers. I see that the current account creation step requires a phone number for verification via SMS/phone call.

That said, I don't believe you need to use that phone number for messaging – an email address is used as the contact information when messaging with iMessage. This is especially important for iPads/iPod Touches and Macs, which most don't have a cell phone number.

This is false. Geth full sync mode has every block with every transaction executed from genesis. What is pruned in 'full sync' mode is the per account/contract history. But since you are executing every transaction from genesis, you can know that you are in fact getting the correct state of the chain. And if you want, you can even do some thing like:
1) Do a full sync with a pruned current state database.
2) Delete the state database, leaving the 'ancient-data' (all the historical, already executed blocks)
3) Unplug the machine from the internet.
4) Restart geth in archive sync mode.
5) And after a while you will have an archive node (all the account history cleanly indexed separately), 100% derived from the blocks you synced in full mode.
> If Apple were censoring messaging apps I would agree with your seemingly negative sentiment, however, as someone who has pushed out apps to the Apple and Mac app stores, I can say they absolutely do not do that.

This thread is about a hypothetical situation where Apple allows iMessage on other platforms (such as Android), but only on platforms that can securely attest that they have not been modified.

Yes, I use Android, but would like to also be able to interoperate with iMessage. But I don't want to be stuck in a (for now hypothetical) state where I have to choose between using iMessage and being able to do what I want with my phone.

> We use WhatsApp abroad and SMS at home. The messages are green and I can't tapback. That's it!

SMS has ordering, latency, and delivery issues. You also cannot send media over SMS, and MMS has size limits for media that were set decades ago. Any video you send over MMS will be recompressed to the point where it'll be unwatchable. SMS also does not support group chats. MMS does, but delivery and message ordering issues are even worse there, and group chats are inflexible; for example you can't add new people to an existing group chat, or remove existing people.

I do use WhatsApp, grudgingly, for some people who refuse to switch to something else, but I'd like to reduce my reliance on things owned by Meta/Facebook.
Who else 'sells' imessage ?

You're using MMS for those group chats, not SMS.
I would be interested in your paper.

What I find strange in these erasure-reification “wars” is that so many other languages get a pass. And I sort of understand that, languages without a runtime seldom have reflection, or only in some primitive form, and most language on top of a runtime are dynamically typed. So outside of guest languages, Java and C# are unique in this aspect, and Java does use reflection very heavily, where I can imagine that restricted access to the whole type may be a hindrance.

It's the straw + lid combo that is most advantageous. It lets you drink in a vehicle without worrying about spilling. Reusable options like sippy cups are a non-starter for any sort of takeout or fast food.

I recently spent a week in Texas and I must say, the disposable plastic bags and plastic straws were a big improvement in quality of life. I'd gladly pay some extra fees to offset the environmental damage. Banning such things seems like an emotional move, not an evidence-driven approach to improving the environment.

Yes, and that is absolutely fine. Computer freedom is more important than the ability to prevent spam. It should be illegal to prevent the rooting of devices or even put up any roadblocks for the user. It doesn't really matter how much this freedom impacts their networks. The freedom to run whatever software we want and interoperate with everything without being discriminated against should be our inviolable right.
