Likely this is using the private network option that mobile carriers have been offering. Hologram has something similar where every SIM is in a private IP space behind a NAT. Now it seems CF can run your phones in their own private LTE/5G network, anything going to work addresses gets split directly to those endpoints and "auth'd", while personal goes out to the internet. Similar to a VPN but without an endpoint and less spam traffic since it's a private network only your authorized SIMs can get onto. You could still run a VPN but all your Zero Trust should be over HTTPS/TLS and MitM becomes a bigger lift to make happen since you now have to attack cell sites.
> I think managed databases are a good analogy here.

There is at least some work in managing a database. The risks are very similar, but at least there is some value in offshoring it.

I have never seen offshoring it being a net positive in terms of labor saved alone (it's way more work to make sure the managed database stays running than doing it yourself), but it can be positive in theory. It can scale down better in theory too.

> whereas if you have an ever growing number of services, whilst you want to manage authentication and accounts against all of them centrally, then something like Keycloak (or one of the cloud alternatives) become way more lucrative.

Well, Keycloak isn't a could SaaS. I bet the clould alternatives will give you all kinds of issues, starting at bad pricing (on that link, you will be enterprise before you can blink). But well, there is no reason at all to go and confirm it, the best they can do is to not add unreasonable operational costs over running your own, and just add some huge risks.
You want me to update Wikipedia? Anyone can do that, that's why it's not smart to quote it as fact.

I did the exercise mentioned and was happily bouncing around between 3 and 6 levels deep in Wikipedia before I thought I should come back to the article to see what else it said, at which point I became very confused.

Perhaps "comfortable with knowing that I don't know things, yet proceeding anyway" is a better description.
The flip side of this: the #1 most common "phishing"-type attack we see right now are attempts to get us to buy and relay gift cards; we get big waves of these attempts across our team.
My usual timeline at a new job requires an average of ~6 months to be effective. After that I work hard the next year or so on leading projects and major features.
I try to build my network of influence by contributing

See if I can file patents.

This should lead to a promotion within ~2y, less than 3y; if that does not happen, I start looking for either a new team or new job all together.

(In some companies interviewing for another team requires the same amount of effort of interviewing outside. I usually pursue both.)

If I don't get the promotion, it usually means that either the team I work with does not have enough impactful work to justify a promotion, or manager is not interested (capable) in sponsoring for one.

Either way, I have reasons to move on.

Apple obviously accepts gift cards; people use them all the time.

"You're not allowed to have any fraud detection" would be a silly rule. I think there should be an appeals court sort of thing for these scenarios; I suppose that's probably small claims here.
Queue or lottery would work. That's actually how Nike (used to?) sell limited edition sneakers. They either had a lottery or queue depending on demand or something.

Who would want to use iOS after it was Windowized for browser freedom?
Bad actors already have access to the data, right? Would it not be better to legalize/regulate it? I'm not convinced that we can put the genie back into the bottle.
I guess what I’m saying is that unless legislation or a court make Apple support other browsers, expect nothing. Apple won’t acquiesce just because technical users and developers don’t like having to use WebKit.

Despite it being a terrible decision, I don’t think it affects Apple’s bottom line positively at all to support other browser engines: they won’t make any money off it, will create headaches for themselves since they need to expand their security surface and do some technical work to support it, and cede control to competitors. Approximately nobody (weighted by financial impact to Apple - whether Firefox uses WebKit or not is, as far as I can tell, completely irrelevant to Apple’s bottom line) is deciding not to release on iOS because of WebKit.
"Apple is not forcing its OEM partners to exclude 3rd party browsers."

Apple has OEM partners? :-)

Seriously, the lawsuit against Microsoft involved anti-competitive behavior, not anti-consumer behavior. In this case, other businesses have better legal protections than customers.
I have to agree with this. Either they are too risky to accept, or they're too lucrative to ignore. You can't play both sides here, because it's not going to be the 1T company that gets hurt in the end -- it'll be the small guy with no resources.

I'd recommend going full steam ahead with Rust.

Companies like Azure and Meta now recommend Rust as either one of several viable choices, or THE recommended option, for the use cases you describe, including CLI and web servers.

Personally at this point, just about anything that's not a frontend (android, ios, web), I think Rust is the best language for the job. It's the language I prefer, and feel most productive in, for the use cases you're describing (web server, CLI, small scripts and utils).

There's a learning curve, but at this point, I almost entirely forget about the lack of GC. It feels like writing code in any other language - except of course with all the benefits you call out (no null, ADT, typed error values, trait-based OO system, the best tooling of any language I've used, expansive 3rd party libraries).
"the only people that end up sticking around are the people that either can't get other jobs because of lack of skill, or they're tied to a geographical region,"

And yet, Firefox is an antitrust fig leaf for chrome. EU regulators won't take kindly to Google having an effective monopoly on web browsers, all the more so since MS adopted the same browser engine. If the choices became chrome or WebKit, said regulators would likely be at least curious enough to look.
> As he himself admits, he used a lot of different cards of different values.

And if he wasn't buying the gift cards himself, there's a substantial chance that some of the cards he used were obtained fraudulently (e.g. bought by victims of gift card scams and subsequently sold by the scammers). While there certainly are some legitimate sales of gift cards, there's also a ton of money laundering that takes place, especially when the cards are being sold under face value.

Microsoft did anti-competitive shenanigans back in the day too

Did Microsoft do anything worse than bundling IE with Windows and integrating it into the file manager? Frankly Windows now is much worse than it was then, taking note of the hissy fit Windows 10/11 throws when you go to switch your default browser away from Edge.
I think a lot about the guy in Jacksonville, Florida who owns gamil.com.

It's also annoying for tools -- like debuggers, and uftrace (user space function tracing), which will start showing all these tiny functions that you don't really care about

I prefer to avoid all the operator overloading and smart pointers, etc.
If Apple allowed other browsers there would be even less competition overall in browsers - as Chrome would also dominate there too (and third parties force its use to be compatible with them).

At the monent, iOS being Safari/Webkit only is what keeps us having two engines with both having any real market share.
> But the web is not the internet.

The "web" is a joke. Other people here are taking issue with this comment, but there's a distinct truth to it. You can argue semantics, but web "browsers" were designed around navigating HTML. Now they are IDE's for runtime-compiled applications using HTML primitives, positioned by CSS, in place of an actual, useful, concrete widget system, like you get in Visual Basic. If this had been the development target for "browsers" 25 years ago, I wonder how much better we could have evolved this system than the morass of JS we have now, and all the problems that go with it.
Yep, that's me - a Grade A sucker.
I'm not sure that there's much point in trying to assign blame here. Sure, blame Apple! In any given fraud misfire scenario, there is going to be a pretty clear set of steps Apple could have taken to provide a more reasonable customer experience. But we're focusing on just one such scenario, and Apple's customer support team has to deal with every scenario.

If you've worked in anti-fraud stuff before, you know: there isn't a single clear answer to fraud. There's no reliable way to stop it. It's all just a big series of heuristics. And it's a cat-and-mouse game, because if you're Apple, your fraudster adversaries sink enormous amounts of time into working out the minutia of your customer support and anti-fraud processes looking for gaps.

Which means there's probably no way in hell you're going to be able to talk your way out of a fraud hit with a customer support agent. They're simply not qualified to do that.

Ironically, all these 3 browsers have some serious shortcomings like heavy telemetry, tracking, or having a completely out-of-the-loop user experience.

This is why we need to switch to non-profit OSS like Firefox. Brave is also a good choice but not a non-profit.
I show them my US passport when I cross and then they automatically know that me and my kids are also Canadians... everything is linked (a border agent once told me because he thought that I didn't know because they were all born in the US (first generation born in the US is automatically Canadian too)).

They ask you so much information when you fill out ArriveCan that it isn't hard to figure out that you have it when you show them your passport.
> the big risk for NVDA is that models and tools get small and efficient enough that they don't need $1,000+ hardware.

You will always be able to do more and better with the premium hardware. Maybe for video games the marginal differences aren't enough to sway most consumers towards the high end cards, but I expect there will be a lot of people willing to pay top dollar to be able to run the best version of X AI tool.
One does not exclude the other. Asking participants of a discussion to be beyond most criticism before emitting an opinion would just maintain the status quo longer and kill the debate.

The point they're trying to make is not that Apple is in the right, the point is that the original title (which was something like "Apple account disabled for using a gift card") doesn't represent what actually happened.

They risk losing market share if another unsupported browser is seen as sufficiently superior that users avoid choosing Apple products on that basis. I don't even mind Safari, but I'm still in no hurry to lock myself into the iPhone ecosystem, partly due to those sorts of restrictions.

And? GPs response was way more combative than the explicit pause. The guy took pains to highlight "assuming a good faith discussion". Clearly, it's a question that IS on the table. It's driven by wanting to understand further the other side's thought process. I'd love to have a question like that. It would make me pause and ponder and reflect. Always a good thing. Not "immediately end the discussion". Crikey.
I don’t think they’re warranted at all technically. It would just be a lot of work for Apple to now allow new browser engines with no clear benefit to Apple.

I do believe what I am saying about security is true, and it would be a non-trivial cost for Apple to have to start worrying about what happens if Chromium ships with a security bug, but at Apple scale it’s less about that cost and more about the complexity it introduces for no benefit to Apple.

To clarify I am not saying Apple’s decision is good. I think it’s very bad. I am just trying to see it from their perspective, and have to admit, it makes complete sense
The full might of the western world will rain down on them. Or more likely we’ll just send a few toys to their opposition. Starting a war with the NATO is not a good idea
Well, many reasons, to be honest. Yes, you can easily set up some local LDAP/AD/Whatever and setup some OIDC/SAML connectors.

SaaS like Okta, OneLogin, even Google Directory offer many things that you don't have to think about:

- If your organization doesn't use SCIM and you have headcount that requires HR, then your IT department is wasting time. You also probably will fail audit.

- How do you limit which users allowed to use a service that uses OIDC or SAML?

- Where is audit log stored?

- What's your SLA?

- Does it integrate with HR software?

- Does it restrict access based on location? Is there some logic to prevent a user from city X suddenly login from a city 3000 miles away?

- Do you have contractors? How do they access resources they need?

- Service accounts?
I'm not the OP, but as far as I know there is no economic faction which disputes the claim that "a weak currency boosts exports."

I spent 5 minutes googling this out of curiosity and could only find published claims in favor of the orthodox "weak currency boosts exports" idea, for example "Export dependent nations may actively encourage a weak currency in order to boost their exports." [0] or "Exports become cheaper when the currency of a nation is weak."[1]

[0] https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/weak-currency.asp

If there are published claims to the contrary, I would be interested in reading them.

Practically, clawing back overpaid compensation from an uncooperative former employee requires a lawsuit with a chance of the employee winning, and has the potential to be more expensive anyway than however much could be recovered.

But, continued employment is easily dependent on recovering the overpayment one way or another. Usually by taking it out of future paychecks.

I suspect I got Omicron BA.1 last January two months after my first booster, but didn't have a test kit. The symptoms were mild: sore throat and headache for a couple days.

The proffered rationale for border controls was to keep out new variants. The problem is that it takes a few weeks for researchers to identify a new variant by which time it's all over the place.

>which means the calling code is multiplying by a factor of pi just so the library code can immediately divide it back out again.

Mathematical philosophy aside, that's a pretty compelling argument from a practical perspective. You're doing two unnecessary relatively expensive (multiply/divide) operations in a process that's supposed to be fast.
I don’t understand why are Google and Apple allowed to do what Microsoft was fined for in the nineties. Arguably, Microsoft did even less!

And then again forced by EU to offer alternative browsers, on start.

I guess what they say is that unlike MSFT in the 90s, they don’t have a monopoly, which makes it fine?
And those high performance browsers also do things that if Apple allowed could result in security vulnerabilities. Even Apple disables those capabilities in its own browser in the new high security mode.

Besides, you can say a lot of things about Firefox and Chrome - but high performance and memory and power efficient aren’t traits you assign to Chrome.
A large part of the deficit is due to the Energy cost relief program, something the government had to do. The BoE knew this but chose not to raise rates to compensate, so either they're happy with the situation or they're dithering.
The problem is that more and more companies are a literal "privilege" (private law) and that there is no court of appeals.

There should be. Let Apple do their fraud detection, and 90%+ of the fraudulent accounts will do nothing further, but for the ones accidentally caught there should be some method, something that is too detailed for scammers to do but possible for a "real person" to do.
I don't think so, historically speaking.

"Open Source", historically speaking, was the right (and obligation) to have the ability to modify the source code of software you use. There was nothing about 'paying it forward', but rather giving users the freedom to control the software they run.
If they owned 100% of the copyright, then it still wouldn't matter. The GPL gives additional permissions, along with some restrictions / obligations, to Licensees. As copyright holder you are not a Licensee.

You do not need to grant yourself a license to distribute your own works. You always had that right.

Besides, who would sue you? The only person who has standing is the copyright holder. You're gonna sue yourself because you failed to honor the terms of a license, which was granted from yourself to yourself?

If they didn't own 100%, then see 1).
All I can say is that if you could tell an average Soviet citizen that Lem was a Soviet writer, you would see a very surprised face.
PC's also had an unending stream of viruses. I don't want to have to deal with exploits on my phone.

And from a technical standpoint, high performance browsers enabled the world to misuse HTML + JS to create applications, instead of being limited to documents like it was designed to do. As a developer, building native applications is a lot more fun trying to coerce the browser into doing what I want, because the underlying design actually does what you need it to. Unless "native" means "Windows", though, that has always been painful unless you use something like Qt.

This is unfortunately not about the technical details of operating systems that hold them back but rather user interface concerns (installing browsers, changing defaults).
Yes and no. I use logging too, but that's only useful when I know (or can guess) ahead of time what locations and what things at each location I'll need to know in order to diagnose the problem.

Of course I can always go back and add some logging, but it's not a given that I'll want to keep it around after the problem is fixed. For example if it's in a performance-critical section of code, even the cost of checking to see whether logging is enabled may be too great. And in any case every log statement does add visual noise to the code.
