Apple has never claimed that iMessage is open.

It's Google that goes on about RCS being an "open standard" when their implementation of RCS is anything but.

It's kind of like going on forever about Android being open source before making sure most of the modern APIs are proprietary closed source code you only get with Google Play.
SMS has supported Unicode since the very early 2000s. I remember getting SMS messages in Thai on my Nokia 7110 GSM when I was in Thailand in 2003. So there's no technical reason why iMessage fallback to SMS doesn't support emoji.
> Many European models

It might depend on the exact country you are thinking about, but I’d assume these models stand on top of solid labor laws and employer obligations that don’t need bargaining in the first place.

You don’t need an union if you have a government willing to pass laws benefiting all workers. You’ll see unions where these laws grossly mismatch the extent protections and adjustments are needed (in particular in profession where the employer is the gov itself, teachers for instance…)
Sure, but the energy of a bomb explodes outwards in all directions, such that at a distance of R the amount of energy per square meter decreases according to 1/R^2. while this projectile's energy is concentrated in a tiny area and all in the same direction, so it won't dissapate the same way. A cherry bomb and a bullet with the same amount of total kinetic energy are going to act in very different ways. And this thing is going at .2c. The time it would take to go from very top of the atmosphere to ground is 1.6 milliseconds (on Earth, assuming 60 miles thick atmosphere). That's not a meteor. And certainly not a bomb. That's a railgun.

I did misspeak I said "straight down", that's not necessarily true. Could be along a diagonal at any angle.
Now apply this same standard to Jones' communications. How are they not extrinsically equivalent to harassment, for identical reasons?
More than absurd, it is completely corrupt. Unfortunately many people are operate under the false assumption that the homeless are slipping through the cracks because we aren't "devoting enough resources to the problem". Like most of our problems, the volume of money we throw at it isn't the issue. The issue is how that money is spent and who gets to decide how we spend it. New York City spends $38 billion dollars a year on "education" - over $30,000 per student. Despite this massive spending, more than half of NYC public school students were not proficient in reading or math (and this is data from 2019 - before the lockdowns - these numbers have gotten dramatically worse).

“It is true that there are some “technophobes” who—like the Luddites of the Industrial Revolution—explicitly dislike and fear robots (Dekker et al., 2017; McClure, 2018)“

Is that what you are referring to?

They don’t appear to be citing Conniff anywhere at all.

edit:

Quoting Conniff: ”They [the Luddites] confined their attacks to manufacturers who used machines in what they called “a fraudulent and deceitful manner” to get around standard labor practices. “They just wanted machines that made high-quality goods,” says Binfield, “and they wanted these machines to be run by workers who had gone through an apprenticeship and got paid decent wages. Those were their only concerns.””

Granted, I haven’t dug into Conniff’s source material, but I do see parallels to the OP article’s argument of there being insecurities about jobs, vis-a-vis the Luddites requiring membership in an apprenticeship guild and parallels to the article’s argument of insecurity leading to maladaptive behavior, vis-a-vis the Luddites characterizations of manufacturers as fraudulent and deceitful and the subsequent property damage.
This seems a bit hostile. Where did they claim to be an expert? Are only experts allowed to respond on hacker news?
1) The Japanese work incessently. Since about 1600 ad. (ref. the book Collapse in the index)

2)Around 1850 the Emperor died and the top civil service agreed that the European approach was better than the previous pseudo chinese approach. With characteristic industriousness the japan turned their 18 hour work days to learning and improving all things European. Afterall working an office beat working in the fields.

3) Roll ahead 100 years and Japan was able to fight toe to toe across the Pacific against the US.

Note: the japanese process can work with agrarian cultures but not with hunter gather cultures because sitting in an office is not a step up from hunting with your friends in the forest.
< 7 is now unsupported for the latest OS. Maybe will get one more bugfix.
These are all implementation decisions, since behind-the-scenes this is all just Web Authentication API.

That also means if you dislike the idea of some big company holding all your keys in cloud backed-up vault, you can just use one of the dozens of hardware FIDO key manufacturers.

On iOS, the keys are stored in iCloud Keychain, which is also the password auto-fill vault.

These keys are protected with two levels - iCloud encryption and an effective HSM cluster of apple security enclaves.

There is no master passphrase/secret exposed to the user, it is synchronized by phones on the account. You must join the 'ring' of personal devices in addition to using the iCloud login to decrypt iCloud information.

This means unlike basic iCloud encryption (which has a recovery HSM used to help people gain access to their accounts and which legal processes may grant access to read data), you need to perform additional actions to get access to this vault.

Each 'passkey' (Web Authentication Credential) is a locally generated secp256r1 key pair in that keychain, with associated site information and storage for additional information such as the site-specified user identifier and friendly display name.

There's basically three levels of protection for the data

1. whatever the cloud hosting provider has for data at rest

2. the per-account iCloud encryption key, which is never shared with the hosting provider but exists on an Apple recovery HSM

3. the per-account device ring key, which is not visible to Apple.

so no, the credential's private key itself is never visible to Apple.

Apple does have a mechanism (if you go into Passwords) to share a passkey with another person's Apple device. You need to be mutually known (e.g. need to have one another as contacts, with the contact record containing a value associated with their Apple ID) and it needs to be done over Airdrop for a proximity check. Presumably, this uses the public key on their account to do an ECDH key agreement and send a snapshot of the private information over the encrypted channel.

Auto-updating vendor-supplied authentication code for iPhones is complex because of the split between the operating system code and the Secure Enclave firmware, the (misuse) of that API via a compromised operating system, and the potential to get malicious changes into the Secure Enclave firmware itself.
Oh goodness you are so right. No amount of affirmations will make me feel better about this.
I don't think you understood my point at all, but I suppose I must take responsibility for unclear communication.

As someone who uses co-pilot daily - it often does print garbled nonsense (semantic nonsense, not syntactic nonsense - if you get my meaning).
it went away because it was resource expensive. even with copy-on-write semantics, those backend httpds with an entire perl runtime in each core were pretty huge and inefficient.

the models that replaced it were single process multiple threads and asynchronous (never block) models that didn't create or require one of many application processes per request.

i think the choice of the preforking model was a stability and portability thing. if one of the children crashed it was no big deal, where a crash in a single process application or webserver will cause the everything to go down. also back in those days threading semantics varied widely between operating systems, the apis themselves differed and linuxthreads were just really too new to run in production.
Thanks for the level-headed answer, I’m sorry I lost my cool there, but all too often one can run into Wayland/systemd-haters who are like absolutely unreasonable.

What I compare systemd to is the previous iterations of linux init systems, and compared to them it is a huge positive change in my, and most of the linux world’s opinion (it was voted on multiple times in probably the most democratic process at debian, was decided independently at several other distro). It solves real problems (e.g. pre-disk mount logging) in a relatively modular way, and I think we should cut some slack here, because often times in complex problem domains a monolith is the correct choice. Multiple different tools will actually result in more complexity due to coordination, and I would go as far as that was part of the problem with previous init systems.

May I ask you what would be your preferred solution in place of dependency resolution at runtime then? I do agree that it is “one more moving part”, I just fail to see how else could it work.
It's pretty advanced in the cycle for something this nasty, but 9.4.2 is still "beta"-y. Usually you wait for a x.x.4 release to bump the MV. This sort of thing could be more explicit though.
Summary: If energy is free and doesn't impact anything then of course you would want to use more of it.

I don't know why they think this is a unique perspective, I guess just pointing out that people don't discriminate by electricity source when they condemn extra energy use beyond what is needed to do a job. If the electricity source is free and does no harm there is no obvious way to label the electrons.

I don't understand why they see it as harmful to use less energy to do the same job, as long as the job is done the rest is a bunch of words to confuse the issue. Use less energy = generate less heat = use less heat sink = more compact device, it's all coupled and biased towards using what we have effectively.

I think perhaps the point of the article is its strawman that people want "constant energy use" which as best I can tell is just made up? I'm literally the child of professional environmentalists and I have never heard anyone focus on "constant energy use" -- it's always about reducing waste (obviously landfill space is an issue beyond energy...), reducing pollution (containment would still be an issue beyond energy...), and improving health (maybe energy can help a little but I mean, mostly beyond energy...).
Infuriating.

ACAB.

p.s. Don't Corvettes come with a similar option to slide open a valve on the exhaust to make it loud and lively? How is that allowed if this isn't?

And how could the cop try to suspend the driver's license on the spot? Gross.
The EU's Digital Markets Act might force that.
The capital F in "Framework" everywhere made me expect at first that this had something to do with the eponymous brand of laptop.
The US Government can declare that the companies involved must come up with a way to provide equivalent functionality when interoperating between platforms, and then the companies can figure out how best they want to do that.

Then every day that's not the case after a grace period, or without convincing evidence they're working on it, they can eat fines or sanction from the FCC.

I don't care how they solve this problem, just that they do and that's what effective regulation is about.
Thank you very much for your input.

> It doesn't mean not having any relationships but just because you're family doesn't mean you have to be constantly present in each other's lives.

You have a point, for sure.
I can imagine being this the case for people who can socialize well.

Say you have only 2 options between living in a dysfunctional family environment and living completely by yourself with no friends, what then?

It appears that solitary confinement, damages your brain[1].
I wonder if that applies to social isolation as well.

It seems to be the case in prisons that you need to be around rapists and murderers to keep your brain somewhat engaged.
(If you don't have any other option.)

So maybe it is wrong to equate solitary confinement as "loneliness".
Solitary confinement is much more taxing, I imagine.
However, I think it is better to be around people in a physical sense.
(Even if that means living with some unpleasant circumstances.)

Gabor Mate implies that modern society is sick, and therefore we get sick.
But it is the only society we have, I suppose.
So it might be better than nothing.

I am not disagreeing with you at all here.
I can see your point.
Nevertheless, I just wanted to bring up the case where people have social difficulties and if the family stress is somewhat manageable, then maybe it is better to be around them.
And also keep in mind that I have no clue if the prison context is applicable to "free individuals".

Product Teams Can Build Empathy Through Experimentation
Elon Musk at some point tweeted about the idea of an "air rocket" for the cars. But air is too light to give a lot of momentum. What would really work well for acceleration is a water rocket with an electric pump. Water mist is harmless beyond a short distance, as long as it's properly dispersed.

To make a 1000 kg car accelerate at 4 gee or 40 m/s^2, you need 40000 N of force. A water rocket engine with 200 m/s exhaust velocity can deliver that with 200 kg/s of mass flow. Since your target velocity is only 28 m/s, you only need reaction mass for 0.7 seconds, or 140 kg or 140 L of water. That's one feed barrel.

The back of the envelope kinetic energy of the water jet is only 3 million joules or less than a kilowatt hour. But the power is 4 megawatts. Pumps also have startup acceleration cavitation issues, so it'd need to start gradually etc.

One could maybe do it with a lot of small independent systems in parallel: a ultra high C rate lithium iron battery connected via a transistor to a pump. Each has its own water pouch and nozzle. If you can achieve 400 N of thrust with one pumping 2 kg/s, then having 100 of them in a 10x10 grid would work. The transistors would be controlled centrally.

A more boring alternative is, like in a real bottle rocket, also here, a compressed air tank half filled with water, a much more straightforward source of pressure energy.
People change missions all the time. Currently I think wealth distribution is the biggest problem in my region, but I'm also down to work on say, healthier eating or climate change. And if someone comes to me with a (well-paid) idea for something less important like making a good mobile game or better job searches, I might switch to that.

There's a lot of missions I haven't heard of until the interview, like one which was recycling thrown away mobile devices to detect poachers. Another was using apps as a way of distributing solar power in rural areas of Africa, so someone could choose to buy as much power as they had money for.

Angel List actually provides a good middle ground for this, but I find that the response rate for both applicants and companies are low.
Starbucks did the same tactic, as did Amazon. This is a very old technique; 1880s labor war era. It was sanctioned by the court in 1948 in Shell Oil Co., Inc., 77 N.L.R.B. 1306 (N.L.R.B-BD 1948).

Maybe Apple specifically didn't do it this specific time, but there's a long rich history of exactly this happening going back 140 years. You see it in unionizing literature as a predictable and expected response.
Huh. Works here. 400 error makes me wonder if there’s some middleware in your way that’s malforming the HTTP request? Might be worth checking the headers / TLS cert you get for those request.
+1 on this. If someone is as smart as they think they are, building up the team is always the best option. If you’re always going to be ahead of the curve hours out how you can make everyone perform better as a force multiplier rather than just your own performance.

I will say, I think this is a negative aspect of performance culture though: if you’re average are you going to help someone who is going to be pipped instead of you? Probably not.
So at this point is the stock photo companies more or less dead or do they still have business?

The problem is that while D is absolutely better than C or C++, it is only 10-20% better, not a step function improvement like Rust is. A language that's only 10-20% better just cannot get enough traction against a deeply entrenched language.
I think the problem trying to build a new type system for JS in the current ecosystem is that so much of the value of the current solutions are provided by their deep IDE integration.

Having a great type checker is great, but if I don’t get any of the IDE functionality etc, it’s losing half the value.

I feel like if you're going to use Typescript, you should accept that you're really just using Javascript with extra steps. If you want to use a language with enums, use one - there are many - but none of them are Javascript.
The tech is still too young. I imagine future headsets will be able to stream a face capture and map it onto the VR avatar in real time. Eye tracking is already becoming mainstream, so face tracking is the next logical step.

Google's Project Starline is really impressive and seems to be progressing. If that could be made to fit on a headset, using perspective distortion like on the new iPhones, then you could presumably capture expressions. Or just by using an external camera, and overlaying the eye tracking feed to remove the headset. It doesn't sound so far fetched.
A big enough anything can certainly contain any explosion.

All these strike me as being sympathetic to Jones. Why even post such things if not to elicit sympathy or muddy waters? Meanwhile you and others are up and down the thread playing whack-a-mole with these people.

So calling a spade a spade, I'm surprised how many on this site are sympathetic to Jones. If you find that corrosive and unhelpful so be it.

What's really missing is a seamless ability to add runtime checks to TypeScript. Otherwise, between Flowtype and TypeScript, static type checking is a solved problem in JS.

Hegel is basically a less mature version of Flow. I preferred Flow over TS for the longest time, but let's face it – TS won in terms of absolute adoption, with very little prospect for anyone to take over.
No problem is new. You could use a facade pattern to decouple your framework. Though the extra step is often too tedious for most developers.
The past 2 companies I've been at have or had huge efforts to migrate large parts of infrastructure to AWS Graviton which are 64-bit ARM iirc.
Every time a Google product release makes its way to this site, it seems as though many commenters don't read the article and instead attempt to "dunk on" Google for their history of cancelling projects, vying to express how they distrust Google because of their privacy invasiveness or their inability to commit or some anecdotal evidence dealing with support. Same with Meta products.

It's an exhausting exercise to attempt to find good-faith discussion of the products being released.

While I'm unsure of the market for Starline, I think it presents an interesting alternative to XR-based collaboration: why bother with trying to reinvent the entirety of reality or augment it, when we can insteas capitalize on existing technologies and eke every bit of computw out of them?

Who's to say which methodology is 'correct"? The technology alone is impressive. Hopefully this can see wider adoption to find out where it fits in the technological landscape.

To make sure I understand it correctly, you actually receive imessage spam, not sms spam? Because regular sms spam (green bubbles) could still arrive.
Interesting, we’re the opposite: use enums where possible. We think it adds more clarity to the reader.

Besides, sometimes number values make more sense then string values. Especially when you want to do bitwise operations, which are not possible on string unions.
For me the question is

Would Apple have introduced these perks without the union?

It's not the union that's preventing these things from going to the unionized workers. It's the company.

My guess is that Apple would prefer there not to be a union, so they take the carrot&stuck approach in response. Carrot new perks if you don't unionize. Stick we close the union stores.

But you have to ask what the state of things would be without the union at play. Does Apple decide to give everyone more perks just 'cause?
This is only a good point if you think that the fines that the banking executives paid in 2008 were sufficient. I'm not sure I've ever heard anyone express that opinion. The fine here is fully justified. The lack of fines in 2008 is the problem, not this.
That's an interesting list, thanks.

That's just wishful thinking. Any opportunity for a network effect to assist with Signal's adoption is long gone. It never managed to hit the necessary threshold and without platform ownership, there's little chance it will.
