Applying zero trust (or equiv) to a system's internals is pretty cool.
Has someone tried to fix this themselves yet?
Happy to answer any questions about the offering.
This is a really good point. Thanks for sharing. I'm highly critical of Apple for their practices, but this is great food for thought. I'm gonna have to marinade that for a bit and re-evaluate my position.

Could they still do it for Apple official parts without locking out 3rd parties? i.e. if an official screen that was previously registered to a different phone, then lock it out. If it's never been registered, then allow it?
Developer effort.
And the stupid prize is what? You might have to use a different browser? Doesn't seem that serious to me.
I just gave it a go (now that it's evening and I'm at my own computer), and it works from the Netherlands.

Surprisingly, because just about all the other methods and proxy-sites mentioned in various click-baity articles a search yields have stopped working.
Wait so are we outlawing closed-source proprietary software now?
And updating it rather than adding a new, correct one, might make the current uses confusing ?

Speaking of which, do we have any similar hexagonal symbol ?
Don't underestimate the power of spite.
I believe it is important to support non-JS user agents.

For example entire Kagi Search runs with no JavaScript enabled in the browser. We see JavaScript as a way to enhance client experience, not create it. So bascially Kagi is in 'lite' mode by default.

That wasn't an assertion, and there was nothing requiring evidence.

I mean, you are just completely wrong. It does not rewrite the request. It does not change headers. There is an API that allows the extension to set a proxy server destination:

https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/proxy...

And that API does not change the request, either. That is not how proxying works.
> Do people browse the internet with JavaScript disabled?

Some people do (and you'll get a disproportionate number of them here), but unless yours is a niche product particularly aimed at such people, they're an insignificant number in comparison to the billions who've never even heard of such a thing.
>And by your logic, once a SCOTUS decision is made it can never be revisited.

I never implied any such thing. In fact, I'm arguing that the exact opposite, using DC v. Heller as an example of how SCOTUS can reinterpret a foundational right despite hundreds of years of precedent to the opposite. That speech with implicit violence should be ruled as unprotected speech in spite of hundreds of years of precedent to the opposite.
Spite is at times my main source of motivation, and still leaves me physically uncapable of following the rate of breakage of upstream Firefox (i.e. I cant keep my patches up to date), which I'm assuming it's actually a more sensible upstream when compared with Google.
Why is a small Swedish automaker a decade ahead of the rest of the industry?
This doesn't make any sense to me, considering it's being commented upon literally as you wrote that comment within days of the phones release.
Why is a broken app on top of the HN feed?
YES.

I have it enabled for certain sites I frequently use, otherwise it's disabled by default.

It makes browsing much smoother IMO.
The Launch of the Chrome Root Program
Really? You are going to claim that there is literally zero features that a blockchain provides, that are not solved elsewhere?

Like, you think there are equally good ways to solve the double spend problem, on a public ledger, in a decentralized manner, with no central authority, without a blockchain, and the various consensus algorithms involved in that?
> the specific claim that sub-standard working conditions are better than nothing is a very old and weak argument that has a tradition of being used to justify subjugation

It's a weak argument when it's incorrect. slavery is clearly not better than nothing. That doesn't mean that it's a bad argument, it means that slavery isn't defensible by that argument.

Focus on the meat of the argument. A job can either be worth doing or not worth doing for a worker, based on the working conditions. We can agree on that surely. A productive discussion would focus on defining an acceptable working condition and whether or not uber meets that definition.
As long as there is a different browser, of course.
So they just re-write all the server stuff from scratch because there may be vulnerabilities in the code that got leaked? And somehow the new code they replace it with won't have vulnerabilities? That doesn't seem rational.
I don't, no, because it's just not practical to do so in 2022, but I do love sites that ditch it, on principal.
Tilt-shift lens are wonderful things. There are lots of time-lapsed videos on youtube made with them and they are so cool.

CC apps are still pirateable AFAIK, but it's nowhere near as easy as, say, Flash 8 was.
Very cool. There are some really interesting opportunities to integrate stable-diffusion into many creative apps right now. It's neat to see it all happening at once.

Another interesting example of how stable-diffusion could be integrated into a workflow:

But this could also happen to Bitcoin and crypto bros would certainly argue it has already started to happen.
Counter question: Why should they spend money on it?

When they discontinued Flash WASM wasn't an option.

Now they already have abandoned Flash, told everyone to move one and most of the monetary profitable ecosystem _did_ move on.

And while there are probably still some companies willing to pay for new flash support for their legacy application it's unlikely to be worth it for Adobe.

Lastly even if you could create Adobe Flash WASM it's non trivial to make it down to bug compatible with Flash. But exactly that is the kind of compatibility is what remaining legacy customers want.

So IMHO it's less that they can't do it but more that for the for profit company Adobe it makes little sense.
I damage my phone every couple of years. So it happens, but not frequently enough to warrant AC+.
> Centiclops is a lot like a cyclops with one eye, except th[at] as a reading of the roots clearly indicates, this is a creature with 100 eyes.

Not in any normal sense of "roots". Cent is a Latin root meaning 100. ops is a Greek form meaning eye. The -i- indicates that the word is being formed in Latin, and the -cl- is entirely spurious. The original Greek word divides as cycl-ops, not cy-clops.

Apple Care only costs $200 per phone. One person replacing a $1,000 phone wipes out five people's worth of revenue.
If you block third party javascript files (e.g. google analytics) other code required for the website to function correctly might fail, since it relies on that third party javascript. So uBlock doesn't block certain javascript files, and instead replaces them by its own version which contains dummy functions that avoid those errors.
Homes didn't become worth more, money became worthless.
It isn't even a position, let alone a strawman.
Please. China and others who benefited from trade with the West could have chosen not to allow industries to operate in their countries. They prioritized the economic benefits over environmental concerns all on their own, it's not colonialism.
Ask HN: Design Handling of Money in a Marketplace
I am working on a marketplace project(Patreon-like) and I am wondering about good designs/architecture to handle and track the money. I have came up with various solutions but I would like to hear from someone who has some real experience with this very niche type of project, if possible.

Mostly the issue is real money vs virtual money in the system. Chargebacks, returns, currencies, multiple bank accounts, multiple payment processors, fees for bank or payment processors transfers that can make real money mismatch the virtual money and so on.

It's not a simple question I could ask and get a straight answer so I guess it will be more like a discussion.

Tanks.
I do browse with JS off by default (usually FF with noscript, though occasionally with simpler web browsers), often leaving pages if they require JS while they shouldn't and I can avoid those, and I know others who do the same.

Maybe a poll would be more suitable for this kind of a question though, and I guess there must be some already collected statistics around.

Edit: Speaking of "LiteMode" and accessibility in general, I think it's also nice to not go too heavy on CSS or assumptions about fonts. I used to override CSS (browsed quite a lot in the dark, so enforced a light-on-dark theme), to use textual browsers, and still disabling web fonts and setting a minimal font size, which occasionally leads to slightly messed up markup and related issues. Though those sorts of things tend to be covered in various accessibility guidelines.

This reminds me of an old skit, I think from Monty Python. Where a bunch of people in ancient rome are pissed off. "What has Rome ever done for us?!".

"Expect for roads"

"And sewers"

"And enforced contracts"

And so on...
holy cow! this is insane. should be possible to create a mesh, get stable fusion to generate a UV texture map too!

later we should be able to use prompts to generate 3d meshes with full uv texture map as photogammetry picks up pace.

first they came for 2D, then they will come for 3D.

What happened a lot of the time is people choose the easiest program and it produces a wild oversupply in that field. Meanwhile we will basically always have an under supply of plumbers and septic technicians cause most folks hate the idea of working with sewage.
Exactly. They are a scam. Not more sustainable than Madoff scheme.
>Generally: if you’re trying to fix something,

Yes the fix is clear to me. Remove KYC+AML from the banking/monetary system. The expansion of crypto is in part a response to a pompous ignorance of government officials, attempting to impose a search of your papers merely for banking and the government implementing policies so stupid even a B-list editor wouldn't believe it.

The government failed so other actors came in, then everyone made a sad face that when the government failed alternatives were found.
Inflation isn't inherently bad for the poor. If you have debts and inflation is above the (fixed) interest rate on your debts, you're coming out ahead.

The downside of inflation is wages and cost of living adjustments often don't keep pace with inflation because government statistics are rigged to understate the real rate of inflation and many things aren't even indexed to inflation. For example, the minimum wage has been $7.15 an hour in the US for about 15 years. Wage growth not keeping pace with inflation is, as far as inflation hawks are concerned, a feature not a bug as it increases public support for inflation hawk policies.

Not commenting on this particular case, but I know in smaller dev shops that time spent working on one feature is directly taken away from time spent on other things, and so if the new feature isn't useful to you, it has also taken fixing and dev time away from ones that might be. I also suspect that many people have seen the trajectory where apps get more and more features and don't focus on their core competency.

Again, I don't believe this is the case here, but it might generally explain the phenomena/misplaced snark.
Exactly! One important argument for Right to Repair is the environment. If I cannot salvage parts from a dead phone then it'll be e-waste. This doesn't help the consumer nor the environment, but it will definitely affect Apple's pockets in a positive way.
This link from Twitter worked for me: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-09-19/climate-f...

The other commenters look like maybe they misinterpreted the title (which I did, too,) but rest assured that Bloomberg was being Bloomberg with this one, which is to say you can infer their stance and save your reading time for better writing.

There was paragraph that was delightfully ironic and devoid of self-awareness:

>Public records requests, and the data they sometimes unearth, are a common tool used by journalists and others to investigate public agencies. They have been a key tool for both sides on the climate change issue, used to hold utility companies accountable but also by climate skeptics to extract information that could discredit a climate scientist.
This exactly.

There is more than enough housing in LA and SF to house the temporarily homeless.

There is also enough housing to house the mentally ill homeless.

But there is essentially no housing to house the drug-addicted homeless.

Thousands of shelter beds go unused in LA every night because most homeless shelters are sober facilities, meaning no drugs or alcohol, and the drug addicts would rather keep their booze and their high then have a bed and a bath. And those are the majority of the homeless you encounter in LA and SF.

(Note: mind altering substances can trigger mental illness; marijuana is known to trigger latent schizoid-series mental illnesses and this is one of the reasons it remained a controlled drug at the federal level for so long. Most illegal psychotropic drugs damage the brain, ultimately leading to the development of mental illness after sustained or heavy use; I don't classify such individuals as mentally ill because their drug addiction dominates.)

> Easy salvage might create an unacceptably wide-spread life-safety risk to ALL smartphone owners.

Yeah, it'll be the end of the world if an iPhone is disassembled and its parts sold worldwide! /s

If preventing theft was the real goal behind requiring software activation for repairs, then Apple can simply display a warning to the user that a replaced part is stolen and to inform the police. The real reason for this anti-repair feature is to ensure that iDevice users are forced to buy Apple care, are forced to buy parts from Apple at artificially inflated prices and to prevent them from sourcing cheaper parts from elsewhere. When I buy an iPhone, I own it. If I want to replace a part in it with a non-genuine non-apple spare part it is my right to do so, and Apple doesn't have any right to prevent me from doing so.

>18 year olds. We don't consider them responsible enough to drink alcohol, yet we expect them to take on crippling amounts of life-long debt?

In my country, as in most of the world, 18 year olds can drink alcohol. They can also make many other life-altering decisions.
The stupid prize is that by the time you decide it's time to use a different browser, Firefox and Safari have been rendered totally unusable by developers only targeting Chrome because that's all they have to do.
> "We are extremely disappointed to have any details of our next game shared with you in this way."

Granted, it could happen to anyone, but this is the kind of messaging I would expect if someone had accidentally emailed screenshots to IGN, not as the result of a breach.
It's Apple. Haters are going to hate no matter what they do.
yeah, let the logged-in user re-pair (pun not entirely intended) their swapped-out components and log it somewhere for future technicians. Apple can also go an extra step to register stolen components to also show that once it is inserted into another devices. ofc there then needs to be some core to pair with but apple will figure it out.
> It’s an upgrade so seamless that the best tech reviewers in the world didn’t notice.

I think it’s bad taste on how he keeps on knocking tech reviewers. Of course they won’t notice because they don’t open phones for a living.
OK that doesn't have to do with blocking Google AdSense ads nor does it have to do with proxying so I'm kind of confused.
I find that pretty unlikely. They are most likey already federal money recipients than donors, given their income.
There's a charitable interpretation. Customers can now verify that the replacements are genuine Apple parts.
And every time there's a bunch of replies about how great Brave is, and everyone should just use that... Chromium wrapper.
That's a bit like saying a Honda Civic aren't more efficient than an Abrams tank because the Civic weighs less. They don't have the same capabilities, but one is gonna win on MPG for sure.
Absolutely. I haven't left home without a firearm in almost 21 years, but I'm actually not a fan of guns. I just experienced some things during my childhood and during my most formative years that made me understand that violence is the ultimate authority in the world, and I want to make sure I'm capable of defending against it if the need arises.

I would feel like an absolute coward if I were to shoot someone that wasn't harming or threatening harm to my people or myself. I live in a college town and have had run ins with random drunk kids on my property, but I was always capable of handling those issues with my words and my hands. However, I'm not taking that chance with a mentally ill individual with my child standing right there.
Countries have extradition treaties. Hell even when they don't if you're a diplomatic nuisance you'll be thrown on an airplane- which is what happened to a Dutch drug cartel leader in Dubai.

there is some name for this kind of dismissive optimism, but I do not know it.. suggestions?

>legal for the Figma owners to sell the company to Adobe, create the new company, say Figma2.0 and create similar(better) product from scratch,

Not possible for this type of acquisition. It was reported that this was a cash+stock deal. The typical acquisition contract means the Figma founders would likely have "golden handcuffs" to stay on as employees of Adobe where their Adobe stock would vest over several years. (Say 4 years.) The contract also means they have a standard "no compete" clause and can't quit and start similar company for several years.

Tony Timpa, a white man, was killed by police in the exact same manner as George Floyd. Knee on neck.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2021/12/29/police-for...

The reaction to Floyd's death says more about people's ideological and emotional priors than it does about the actual events that took place on that day in May 2020.
The history and well-studied lines add a lot to the game though, both for players and for spectators. 960 can be fun but it's not a replacement for classical chess, it's a different game altogether. To stick to the poker comparison (which the article barely makes), it's like saying that the fix for NLH bots and solvers is to switch to PLO - you haven't fixed anything, you've just decided to play a different game.
Does this actually prevent forensics from finding any data?
Who is paying for it then and why do my taxes keep going up?
1 trillion over the course of American history, since when, like very light flourination in the 1950's then stepping up the doses against all those cavities out of nowhere like in the 1970's, maxing it out ever since. So toothpaste which is accountable for ppm of flourine, says there's 1650 ppm of sodium flourine in every toothpaste you can buy at any mainstream pharmacy or supermarket. I checked every one in Líder (Walmart subsidiary), I was only comparing how F'ed up they were, they were all equally F'ed up at 1650 ppm, which in America would require a prescription, supermarkets and pharmacies in America sell 250 ppm. Ended up going to a homeopathic pharmacy (which in general I don't care fore) to buy F-free toothpaste.

A trillion is a lot of money, come on, it's a line item. If you're 25 would you like a $2500 check from the US Government in exchange for not paying like $38000 in bottles and cans, meaning have your cake and eat it too?

This is not the traditional subsidy accusation. I came up with it myself. The presidential vote was not rigged--in this election, in 2016 I can say it was, I was impeded from voting. These are not stereotypes I'm repeating.

.

So the tragedy is the government is in practice, by subsidizing salt in the water, all because of trust in dentists, trusting that cavities are children's worst health problem when really bullying is worse and F'ing leads to being bullied...with all those wrong assessments, really it's the government subsidy for an expensive poison that Coca-Cola could never afford or be able to carry out itself and that is 99% wasted because it is watered on plants or flushed or showered in and never touches teeth, that subsidy is the cause of Americans being busted and overweight, sedentary, addicted to all kinds of crap sugar salt methamphetamines crack (yes) or on a good day ADD medication, because the government wants that. Crack epidemic was only possible with F'ed up water, stimulants including meth don't work properly without F'ing up the water, they need to create demand for these addictions before supplying the white poisons (as salt and sugar are called in the East, because they're both white grains, but this includes crack and often meth, and stimulants, mostly white granules). Can't address a market need without creating a market need.

Government subsidizes all these addictions, in the only way that it can, with something ubiquitous and inescapable by all but the very rich, who do in fact drink endless bottles and cans.

Apparently they don't actually realize this all in one sitting, they don't get the panoramic view of the whole thing in one shot, they have to be progressively corrupted as government workers into buying one piece at a time. Or a specialist must become a dentist before having any say, that means buying into it and getting into educational debt beholden to the system. It's actually not that nepharious in a single shot of ill intent.
Interesting. I'm not arguing, but I'm very interested in this history, because I was personally bit by Java EE.

The EJB wikipedia page says that IBM developed the first version

> The EJB specification was originally developed in 1997 by IBM and later adopted by Sun Microsystems

, and there's also some other references online about "San Francisco" being folded into EJB;

> The San Francisco Project (SFP) basically failed, with much of the technology being folded into other efforts, notably Enterprise Java Beans (EJB) in 1998.
