What about urgent security vulnerabilities in such components?

Do these companies have people on-call who can security review urgent security fixes in the components? Or how does it work

(say, Log4j and the fixes need to get reviewed urgently, and let's pretend the language wasn't Java but a language that fewer people could understand?)
What happens if you respond to something like this with a simple "Fuck off"?

You are in charge of what runs on your computer, nobody is forcing you to use Discord.

There's no jerk dictating what is allowed to run on your computer, there's someone offering a piece of software that you can willingly install on your computer if you want.

If you don't want that, you're always free to not use the software or use workarounds to avoid the things you don't like.

I, for example, hate ads and use adblock always. But I don't think it's fair for me to go and say that everyone should forced to not put ads on their stuff.

I'm not a fan but I understand that I have no right to dictate what people do with their software
Isn't this what happens when you close any laptop when there is something on the keyboard?
Yeah, I think that about sums it up. I started listening to Tim Ferris years ago because there were a few decent episodes, but I hit a breaking point after one-too-many horrendous episodes.

I discovered FS a couple years ago and have enjoyed some of them, but I'm very close to unsubscribing from this one. There have been a lot of low quality episodes as well as some negative quality: goofy web3 technobabble.
Were you not advised of th4 expiration date of your domain during renewal?

Filed in Sept 2021.

"A class-action lawsuit is being planned on behalf of M1 MacBook owners who say that screen cracks were occurring during normal use, with both the M1 MacBook Air and M1 MacBook Pro affected.

Apple has mostly claimed that the cracks are the result of accidental damage, including in the case of the 9to5Mac reader who first contacted us"
Not sure that's true. I was born and brought up in York, which is heavy on tourism (important from Roman Britain to the late mediaeval, with buildings and archaeology to match). But it's also an ordinary, livable, small city. It's a railway centre, makes chocolate, and has two universities. Definitely still 'lived in'.

Of course, if you spend time around York Minster (the cathedral), or Stonegate, or the Yorvik Viking Centre, you're going to be surrounded by tourists. And the place is more expensive than it would be without the history.

Obviously there is a defect problem affecting some of the new Macbooks, and Apple needs to step up and take responsibility. But that said, I personally think the Apple Silicon computers (the Air in particular) are worthy of the hype.

This 1 year old M1 Air with 16GB RAM is twice as fast as my colleagues' Intel MBPs (comparing same year devices), and it's _silent_. It rarely even gets warm, even with Docker, several containers, JetBrains IDEs, Spotify, Firefox with a million tabs, etc. all going.

> the data cannot be recovered

For most HN readers, not having an adequate active backup/cloud sync system is difficult to imagine. When you can transfer about 1GB/s to a modern fast solid state external drive, plus we mostly have fast internet, it's easy to have live and periodic physical and remote backups.

If there's a scam to be found, it's that Apple has a real problem affecting more than a few users, but they are denying it. The scam is not in the computer but in the warranty/repair practices.
I do like this direction. What's the current state of the art for rendering the diffs? E.g. in Terraform your `terraform plan` will show whether the change requires a delete/create or just an edit.

Naively, if I just look at the raw CRD diff, that information won't be apparent.
Summary by a commenter in the link: Radio astronomy observations of Pulsars indicate that the Hubble Red Shift is caused by “Tired Light” rather than the expansion of the universe.

When Hubble published his observations of red shifted light from distant objects there were two possible explanations that came to the fore. One, originated by Georges Lemaitre, was that the Universe was expanding. The other, from Fritz Zwicky, was that light lost energy as it traveled, termed "tired light". At that time, ca. 1930, interstellar and intergalactic space were assumed to be perfect vacuums and thus there was no mechanism to redden the light. Now, 90 years later, we have actual observational evidence that Zwicky was right.

In the radio astronomy of Pulsars we find that the shorter wavelengths of the leading edge of the pulse arrive before longer wavelengths. The velocity of light, c, is NOT constant but varies by wavelength. This time dispersion is proportional to the distance from us of the pulsar, indicating that the reduction in velocity is cumulative. The observed effect is isotropic. The interstellar medium is not a vacuum but rather affects light waves in a way best described as having an Index of Refraction greater than 1, unity. We find the same phenomenon in the observation of Fast Radio Bursts from other galaxies, thus indicating that the intergalactic media is not an electromagnetic vacuum.
My work is done almost 100% at a desk, in different rooms of my home depending on the season (some get too cold or too hot) or on a whim. A desktop won't do. And sometimes I really take my laptop to somewhere else.
And that's why you get Apple Care with your MacBook.

See also "IPv6 Multihoming without Network Address Translation":

Network Address and Port Translation (NAPT) works well for conserving
global addresses and addressing multihoming requirements because an
IPv4 NAPT router implements three functions: source address
selection, next-hop resolution, and (optionally) DNS resolution. For
IPv6 hosts, one approach could be the use of IPv6-to-IPv6 Network
Prefix Translation (NPTv6). However, NAT and NPTv6 should be
avoided, if at all possible, to permit transparent end-to-end
connectivity. In this document, we analyze the use cases of
multihoming. We also describe functional requirements and possible
solutions for multihoming without the use of NAT in IPv6 for hosts
and small IPv6 networks that would otherwise be unable to meet
minimum IPv6-allocation criteria. We conclude that DHCPv6-based
solutions are suitable to solve the multihoming issues described in
this document, but NPTv6 may be required as an intermediate solution.

Think about the disruption that Apple caused when they moved from 32-bit x86 being supported to deprecating it - there was a great deal of angst, and that's on a vertically-integrated platform that is relatively young (yes, I know that NeXT is old, but MacOS isn't, really). Now imagine that on Windows - a much older platform, with much higher expectations for backwards compat. It would be a bloodbath of user rage.

More importantly, though, backward compat has been Intel's moat for a long, long time. Intel have been trying to get people to buy non-16-bit-compat processors for literally 40 years! They've tried introducing a lot of mildly (StrongARM - technically a buy I suppose, i860/i960) and radically (i432, Itanium) innovative processors, and they've all been indifferent or outright failures in the marketplace.

The market has been really clear on this: it doesn't care for Intel graphics cards or SSDs or memory, it hates non-x86 Intel processors. Intel stays in business by shipping 16-bit-compatible processors.
that is an unknown quantity which one cannot estimate

You may need to look past the ideology to get interesting facts the authors are presenting. I am an avid reader of the economist as it shines a light on foreign news like few publications do, and even though its rather toned down than say the New York Times on opinion, it still shows through in alot of articles. Stuff like globalism is great for the average worker, the US should adopt a land value tax, etc. I don't agree with alot of the stuff they say and just filter it out but there is alot of really great news stories you may be missing.
> or are spam filters that good?

Do know if you are getting _any_ spam or just that all of your spam is marked as such not reaching your inbox?
You only hear about it because it’s Apple and they have like 6 SKUs of products that they sell millions of.

When the batteries bulge or screens fail on some random Dell made by a subcontractor in Vietnam, nobody cares as they have like 80 models of laptop for every market segment.

The bullshit thing in my mind is that Apple took away the ability for store staff to make discretionary calls to bypass stuff like this and do what’s right for the customer.
I own an M1 mac and, although I haven't exactly abused it, there's been multiple times where it fell pretty hard both flat and on corners, and it's held up extremely well.

However, it being a very thin laptop I think puts it at greater risk of catastrophic damage, which is why I back up most things in my home directory and treat the Air as something that will either break or be traded in. That way if anything goes wrong, I can get a new laptop and be minimally affected.

This isn't to say that Macbooks should crack so easily, but I think this is the right way to approach basically any consumer grade device.
Another way of looking at is the "two way" and "one way" doors. Two ways doors are actions no matter how crazy, we can turn around and recover from, while one way doors are very hard/expensive/impossible to recover from.

I've learned the hard, or at least slow, way that this discussion is mostly futile. All I can say is that a large part of the world doesn't use phone numbers like that anymore. One of the major benefits of messaging services is that they aren't tied to a country, carrier, area, address, personal identity or even your phone. It doesn't end up in random databases of shopping websites or advertising networks. You can share it with someone you briefly met, someone unknown or even have someone else share it for you.

I've found, and I think more than me have, that the overlap between having an immediate need for security and wanting to share you phone number is surprisingly small. And even just a subset of those people are on Signal.

It's just never been very useful for me when other services are.

There are certainly more things written in C than in Rust--the advantage of being fifty years old--but the standardization of the build system in Rust means that it would be difficult for any C compiler (or OS, or libc, or etc.) to produce a comparable corpus of C code to automatically test against (crates.io currently has 90,000 crates). But that's fine, because for the purpose of this thread that just means that Microsoft's theoretical Crater-like run for Windows compatibility just takes even less time and resources to run.

Samsung radically changes the UI on their phones. They're significantly different from every other Android phone out there. Lots of other manufacturers don't make massive changes to the UI.

I'm running Android 12 on a Pixel 6a right now. I flipped up the app drawer, tapped the "Search your phone and more" at the top, and typed "bat" and it has an autocomplete suggestion for "battery percentage". The list then shows a deep link to the Battery Percentage screen on the Battery settings, then a link to the Battery settings area, then a link into the Battery usage area under the Battery Settings. Then it shows Pixel Tips for "Quickly see battery info for your devices", "Make your phone last longer with Extreme Battery Saver".

Your experience is 100% a failure of Samsung, not of Android. The stock Android Open Source launcher does the thing you're wanting. You bought a device which purposefully doesn't do that.

The equivalent would be to install a Linux distro that defaults to just a command line interface and then complaining that Linux is impossible for average users to figure out. There are other choices out there! You could have bought a Pixel, or a Motorola, or a OnePlus, or a Sony, or a Nokia, and all of those would have done this.

Theoretically, you can also install a different launcher which might do this behavior. Maybe try the Pixel Launcher?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.and...

There are lots of other potential launchers which take over the home screen UI. It won't change the settings UI or some of the other Samsung related skinned areas. You can then revert back to the default Samsung launcher.
Very interesting - didn't know that. I always install OMZ after zsh.
Can we separate this into

1) Whether nuclear arms ought to be regulated

and

2) IF it is to be done, how can it be done legally.

I think we can answer (2) without the prejudice of opinion of (1). My opinion on (2) would be the right to bear arms should not be infringed until the constitution is amended to state the right to bear <whatever words have the effect of excluding nuclear arms> shall not be infringed. I believe there would be little political difficulty in passing an amendment excluding nuclear arms, and if it helps us depend much less on implicit interpretation then it's good for everyone. Hopefully it would shut down some of these gotchas that try to drive a wedge in towards legitimizing other infringements by trying to get the counterparty to relent banning of nukes is constitutional under the currently written constitution (not saying that's your argument precisely, but I've seen it a lot).
I also wish they had a standalone app to help manage the addresses. Like so many of their good features, eg password management, it can be a bit too hidden for those up us who want some control!
Given that two of the most widely used untyped languages have introduced typing, one might logically conclude strict typing is helpful. I doubt the scale matters here

That also suggests that modern tech workers who have a hybrid work arrangement are outliers. That's getting to be a pretty large group.

Heck, even before COVID, my previous company only gave out laptops. Those things would get moved all around the office - from desk to desk, to multiple conference and meeting rooms, home, etc. This has been the norm for at least 5 years in my experience.

AppleCare+ is $70/year for M1 MacBook Air and covers damages. It also covers accidents such as coffee spills or drops.

I have 3 year AppleCare+ for 16" MacBook Pro.
I still don't understand the appeal of aluminum/glass construction. I couldn't think of a worse set of materials to make a laptop out of.

For comparison, nearly every other ultrabook manufacturer has moved onto magnesium or carbon fiber for chassis construction. Both materials are much physically stronger, lighter, and (most importantly, imho) offer more intrinsic shock protection.

I know people enjoy the "luxury" look and feel of a Macbook and criticize other manufacturers for using composite materials. But I don't think most people understand that for other manufacturers, moving to aluminum unibody construction at this point would probably be a cost-saving measure.

Apple does not offer a single product that is MIL-SPEC tested, despite nearly every other manufacturer having some or all of their product line submitted to standardized endurance testing.
Csgo is OpenGL and doesn't work excellently in my experience, but yeah, in theory they should.
How did we get from a broken screen to unrecoverable data? MacBooks can book with an external display connected.
Actually they don't at all. I have a few older tablets that have plastic screens and touch works just fine (not great, but good enough).

The main benefit of glass is just that it looks nicer (clearer) and maintains the flatness of the screen better (compared to even harder plastic which will still deform a lot under pressure). On phones there is an additional benefit of scratch resistance, but that's less of an issue for laptops.
That feels like saying "And that's why you pay the Mafia their protection money." These screens are breaking because they're defective, which is what the warranty is supposed to cover. Why should you have to pay Apple more money for them to do what they're already supposed to do?
I think having a strong personal attachment to a brand is actually pretty normal. If you spend a large chunk of your time using a companies products and those products make your easier/better it's understandable.
Yes, and they recently enabled one time emails with your own custom domain, which really helps get around folks trying to identify and prevent this.

This is a killer feature, I love Fastmail.
> And that’s why most people buy $500 laptops

It's why you buy $500 laptops. You can't extrapolate that to most people.

Another reason is that they only have $500 and are buying whatever is available in that price range.
The church is failing to evolve: it still stubbornly expects a blind faith in questionable dogmas, revolving mostly around feelings and emotions, while the masses on average are living by rational thinking today. The church needs to update their dogmas, make them rational, more appealing to the thinking crowd, or become irrelevant by the end of the century.
I don’t know that its what Apple does right but that the broader PC market continues to shoot itself in the foot. Little things like pre-installed bloatware and the inability to figure out smooth trackpad scrolling (still!) keep me firmly on Apple devices. And more recently, the M1 platform is remarkable, so I tip my hat to them for that and doing the basic stuff right (mostly—there have been blemishes obviously).
Ah yes, the inevitable "???" after 30 seconds. Fuck my life.
The Wii emulator is emulating the whole system including the CPU; WINE describes itself as not an emulator specifically because it's not doing anything about the CPU (hence not working on ARM Linux without extra work).

(I'm not 100% sold on this; I think "CPU emulator" and "ABI emulator" are both reasonable descriptions, albeit of different things, but that's the distinction that the WINE folks are making.)
This is not true for platforms. If a community decides they're going to use Discord, then you, the individual, are out of luck. You either use that or miss out on the community or convince the entire community not to use Discord.
It’s also because a good chunk of people also lie to get something fixed under warranty. Didn’t the other weak the article that rose to the front page talk in detail about the various frauds?

I wish Apple wasn’t like this and spent time investigating each defect accurately to identify and issue “recalls”. They sure have the money to do it. But like every other capitalistic company - including the ones that put a 1 ton missile on the road - they fix something when they have a financial incentive to do it. Class action lawsuits are a good incentive. Loss of goodwill is a hard to quantify but important one as well. And I’m sure there’s a suit somewhere in Apple spaceship doing these calculations.
The technical solutions will not work, as there are many, many possibilities to make a mistake. Misleading router UI, copying the configuration from somewhere else and forgetting to update it, moving a computer to another network, just forgetting to enable a firewall (in many cases it is impossible to set up a IPv4 network without a NAT precisely because IPv4 addresses are rare — but it is perfectly possible to do it with IPv6, and it will be insecure by default).

Secure systems are robust against user mistakes (and even middlemen mistakes). A NAT is one such system. Alternatives do not work like that.
I don't think you're being particularly charitable in this thread - at the very least you're misrepresenting what he's said publicly.
How does this work really? Is this basically just putting someone on chain, presuming that there wont be a 51% attack, and relying on the chains normal block creation schedule? I presume this timelock can be cracked early if I spend enough compute resources on it.

Also I presume it doesn't work well for small time intervals (less than or equal to drand's block creation times)?

I have a healthy amount of skepticism of this approach.
