For these people who want to save themselves, what on earth do they expect to find after 'the event'?

I can't answer all your questions but this specific one I can answer for myself. I am not wealthy but if I can survive a major event then I have a chance to see what is on the other side of it. It might not be as bad as some imagine. If it turns out to be as bad as any of the apocalyptic movies that portray a post-nuclear fallout wasteland then I can always nitrogen tank/cyanide pill my way out of it on my own terms.

how will they have a future?

Some won't. Some might. Those with the will to fight and survive might struggle for some time and those willing to struggle might have a chance. I am willing to take that chance. I am aware of the struggles I will face. The freeze dried food and water tanks will only last for so long. I will have to either build a functional underground greenhouse using solar that rogue people might try to steal or an above ground greenhouse. Maybe I can save a few chickens in the bunker accepting ventilation becomes more important.
Besides tracking, AirTags can also be used to drive people crazy and instill fear.

An advanced tactic is to put an AirTag you broke inside in front of the real AirTag, a decoy so to speak. The target will find it and assume they are no longer tracked.

I wonder how far up I am on the top AirTag buyers list worldwide.
This study doesn't talk about benefits at all.

If only there were some way to find a lost AirTag.

I discovered this unfortunate reality recently myself. In 2012 I was gifted by my parents a first gen Kindle Fire. I got a lot of free apps back then because Amazon had a "free game of the week" deal going on where a lot of normally paid apps would be temporarily free.

Out of nostalgia I downloaded the Amazon App Store to my phone last month and found that not only were most of my favorite apps not in my library anymore, but that the few left over were built for a version of Android so old that it is no longer compatible with my phone. It was a very sad moment for me, as I had a lot of fun with those games
>The small providers typically don't have recourse if they approach a blocklist maintainer and ask to be taken off a list. [...] I pointed out that adopting blocklists just makes it harder to operate a mail server as a small provider, and nobody in this thread appears to disagree with that assessment. They instead seem to take issue with the tone of the message.

I don't think it's the tone. While the inability for senders to get off blocklists can be true, you're still not addressing why the cost to the sender to not be blocked should have higher priority than the cost to the receiver to avoid blocklists to make email admin more of a burden.

The gp you first replied to (PinguTS) is running a personal mailserver and resorted to using blocklists because reducing spam -- at the cost of some legit people not being able to send email to him -- is a tradeoff he's willing to make. You haven't convinced every user running mailservers that they should increase their spam burden because some small providers can't get off blocklists.

As another example in another communication channel... Here's a similar "blocklist" for cell phones that some users take advantage of: https://about.att.com/pages/cyberaware/ae/cp

Are "legitimate" phone numbers getting caught up in that block filter?!? Of course. But phone owners are trying to stop spam telemarketing calls. Telling them that some phone users are incorrectly on AT&T's list isn't going to convince cell users to quit using the block filter. They're willing to live with a few legit callers getting blocked.

Ask HN: UUIDs vs. Human-Readable IDs in APIs?
How do you think about when to use machine-generated IDs (such as UUIDs) versus human-readable IDs (such as Github organization / repo names)?

I'm specifically thinking about when to use these different types of IDs in APIs, API routes, and in your database. Assume that we could enforce uniqueness for human-readable IDs on a global or tenant basis.
Yeah. That was my conclusion too, but the fact that some prominent people are calling for a convention is startling to me. It opened my eyes to how out of touch I am with the current political pulse.

My guess is that a bunch of startups that have gone on to do well and were rejected aren't broadcasting that around. Too many other priorities to deal with when things are succeeding and no reason to create any negative feelings about being rejected by YC.

Just think about this. Every successful startup was rejected by some VC. It is par for the course and not really a big deal if you are winning.
It’s a poorly-conceived first thought. How does having the source code protect someone against a tracking bug hidden underneath their car? Is a stalking victim supposed to upload a modified firmware to a computer they don’t have physical access to, and might not even know exists? Or do you figure that giving more power to the person deploying the computer, the perpetrator, is somehow going to help the people they victimize?

>Am I allowed to get salty about the number of lung cancer patients dying slowly and draining healthcare resources?

I'm sorry, I must have missed the huge numbers of lung cancer patients clogging up the healthcare system, and the ease with which the worst consequences of lung cancer are ameliorated with a newly-developed vaccine that they refused to get. I never saw all those cancer patients before COVID started; I presume COVID drove them away from the healthcare system? Or maybe you're just making up nonsense. Hmm!

>Full? What % of hospitalisations were unvaccinated and Covid-related, during a given time period?

Why don't you go find out? I think the answer will surprise you!

The reason you guys come up with such insane apples-to-snozzberries counterfactual comparison is that there isn't really a modern comparison to the public health failure to get everyone to get the goddamn vaccine.

You asked it there is any money to be made in email, I provided you with anecdotal evidence that there was.
Five years ago, I trained a GAN deep model to synthesize data based a tabular training data. Colleagues extended thus to also handle categorical and string data. Models trained on synthetic data performed well in withheld real data. I mention this as some evidence that deep models subsume conventional ML.
Not all USB-C cords support data and those that do support data support data at different speeds. Some USB-C cords support data but don’t support video over USB-C. I travel a lot and soon will be doing the “digital nomad” thing.

I travel with this portable monitor:

https://a.co/d/aFeMMK1

You can plug it into a computer and get video and power with one USB C cable. But you have to have the “right” USB C cable. Video over USB-C is “standardized”. But not all cables support the standard.

Ironically, you can have the same issue today. Some cheap third party Lightning cables don’t support data and they don’t work if I plug up my monitor to my Mac for a third monitor using Duet (I can’t use the Mac built in capability because of an incompatibility with corporate mandated malware).

The iPad Pro should also work with my monitor. But still, you have to have the right “standard” USB C cable. You would have the same problem
With a hypothetical future USB C iPhone.

I’m assuming you didn’t know about how some USB C cables don’t support all of the standards. If you didn’t know - someone who posts to HN and I assume knows more about technology than the average person - what chance does the average consumer have or the people making laws to force USB C to be the standard?

That is not meant to be an insult. I thought all USB C cables were the same until two years ago when I got my first modern MacBook for work.

I’m not saying Lightning is better than having a USB C port on the iPhone that supports the maximum power possible on the iPhone, with higher speed data rates and video over USB C. Apple agrees and that’s why almost all iPads now have USB C ports.

But that doesn’t mean that you will just be able to pick up a random USB C cable and it just works.
> the USB-C “standard”[sic]

There's no reason for scare quotes, USB-C is an official standard. IEC 62680-1-3:2021 (https://webstore.iec.ch/publication/66588) is USB-C, and IEC 62680-1-2:2021 (https://webstore.iec.ch/publication/66589) is USB PD.

That’s what 100% matters.

I’ve seen multiple civil rights attorneys say this because that’s who they go after to set the precedent to erode everyone’s rights. So they have to defend kiddypornographers and neo-nazis and everyone else common people don’t care if the government tramples all over their rights.

Like the iPhone hacking thing the fbi was trying to force apple to do, literally no one cared about some dead terrorist so they chose that case to set the precedent that they could force a company to defeat the security of their product.

For people that use Calibre and Kobo devices, you might recognize his contributions https://github.com/davidfor
I don’t see how your solution really fixes anything as the device would still have to be found for there to be any consequences. It seems like it might help with the blatant attempts described in the article where an AirTag was slipped into someone’s pocket, but I would probably never find a well hidden device glued to my car. I hope you do find a good solution though because I don’t want to pay a monthly subscription for a gps tracker for theft protection on my motorcycle. It would be nice to just be able to drop in a tile or AirTag and forget about it until I needed jt
>The same is true of most modern smartphones. If you wrote an app for an early version of iOS or Android, it simply won't run on modern hardware or software. APIs have changed, SDKs weren't designed with forward compatibility, and app store requirements have evolved.

I wrote a simple niche app for Android a decade ago, when I got my first Android phone, just to play around: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abragame

Forward compatibility is not perfect, it got taken down a few times for compliance reasons (I think I had to fill out a form on whether my app was intended to be primarily used by kids?)

Still, it runs on modern devices with modern OS versions without a hitch. (Much faster than it used to on my HTC Hero in 2012). If you wanted to bemoan mobile functionality degradation, I'd aim at dependencies on communication with proprietary servers, which various companies don't feel obliged to keep around for long.
The criticism is essentially that AirTags are a better tracker for many use cases than existed previously. So I'm not sure what the request here is. Put in mitigations? Well, that's pretty much been done. Decide that this technology is too dangerous to exist? Good luck with that--especially given the positive uses.
Thank you so much for these lectures on YouTube BTW. They've been highly enjoyable for me.

Maybe useful:

As part of improving autoML in PyGraphistry, we have been a doing a lot of auto-feature-engineering and auto-clustering work for one-liners like:

g.nodes(pd.read_csv(...)).featurize().umap().plot()

It incorporates a variety of cool base libraries like dirty_cat and transfomers, adds some of our own, and is heavier on text feature column support than most packages here. Think improving upon TopicBERT or dirty_cat for real text & multicolumn data and interactively visualizing, all in one line. We are currently adding end-to-end GPU support for that pipeline (the rest of our stack already supports that), primarily around cuml GPU data frame support.

It powers a lot of our new visual no-code AI layers and is driven by a bunch of enterprise projects in areas like cyber, fraud, social, misinfo, supply chain, & finance :) More niche, this is all feeding into our automatic graph ai (GNN) layers. Graph AI packages can't truly do graphs well until they can do node tables and edge tables well on their own!
Who said poor development environment. Emacs is a terrific lisp editor and straight sbcl (or any real lisp) is a better dev env than almost any other straight pl env.
This is painful, but it is worth considering that "outliers" so far have meant 1 person dead from an AirTag, as well as a few dozen stalking incidents.

I believe anti-stalking features should be added, but there needs to be balance and also perspective on the safety of things. It's easy to focus on those people who were injured, forgetting the perspective that in general, these trackers are very safe.

- How many people are killed from cars every year? Drunk driving?

- 1,000 children are injured in California alone every year from pencils. Some have died. As I've said elsewhere, you are more likely to die from a pencil than a shark.

- Over 1 million people land in the Emergency Room every year for a stair-related accident. Over 12,000 die.

- 12 people die from taking selfies every year.

- 450 people die from falling out of bed every year.

- 150 people die every year from having a coconut fall on their head.

- 7,000 people die every year from a doctor's sloppy handwriting on the prescription.

- 2,500 left-handed people die every year from using right-handed tools.

- 29 people die every year from being buried alive by accident.

All of these are things we don't consider dangerous, and would often happily give our children or teenagers. Thus, while anti-stalking features of a kind should be added (an alarm if left alone too long?), we shouldn't dwell on too few people. Many of these issues kill far, far more people and we just can't avoid it - we can't force people to not take selfies, or doctors to always have perfect handwriting, or open every grave every day following for a week. Attempting to mitigate every weird cause of death is not possible and would require totalitarianism.

> Most JavaScript-based single-page applications from 2010 should still run flawlessly in modern browsers.

If they're purely client-side, sure, but there's a good chance that anything we could reasonably call a web application, also has a backend component on a server. How confident are we that the backend code from 1995 will still run?

1995 is when Microsoft Frontpage launched. PHP was a year old. I'd be surprised if anything written in those sorts of environments still functions without being run on a 1995 version of Windows/Linux on 1995 era hardware.

Software is a process, it always has been, it always will be.

I think the issue is:

1. If the airline had kept track of your bag properly, it wouldn't have got lost in the first place (At least for a literal enough definition of 'lost') so the moment I land without my luggage, their data is already suspect.

2. The airline might not expose its data to you - or might only do so after waiting in a phone queue for 30 minutes, or only in a very low-resolution form.

I co-founded Fold [0], which went on to raise a $13M Series A from Craft and has some pretty incredible numbers. We were rejected a few times, one after a pretty spicy in-person interview where one of the partners told me to "have fun in jail" because we dared to mess with Bitcoin while the US regulatory system worked itself out.

The parent company became Thesis, a venture studio where we raised a $21M Series A, and have incubated a few more projects (Keep, tBTC, Saddle, Tally).

A friend's company, Wyre, was rejected. They ended up being acquired for 1.5B [1].
