> And is that model common across other proof systems like TLA?

Yes, it's pretty common, and is a really nice abstraction.

TLA+ doesn't use that model, although a lot of TLA+ code is implemented that way. TLA+'s model is basically "shared memory" where any step can access or change any state in any way it likes. That's super flexible, but can feel a little too flexible.

P, on the other hand, is based on a model of state machines that communicate with messages. See this example for a clear illustration of how that works: https://p-org.github.io/P/tutorial/twophasecommit/

The irony that your own post displays a toxic level of vanity regarding technical competency but projects it onto the children.
Android is ~72% of the global market: https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/mobile

So, yes.
If that is true, wouldn't that be a de facto monopoly which Apple could be sued for?
The clutch slips for about 2/3 of the 1/4 mile. It is a huge factor.

My college motorsports team got to meet with John Force, and someone suggested a flexible rear spoiler for variable downforce. He was quick to note it likely would be faster but would almost certainly get you killed.
It more means the group chat will all switch to using SMS (to include the non iPhone user) which isn’t as feature rich as using iMessage. It’s not a judgement on someone for their phone, it’s more that including their phone makes the group chat function worse.
$430 is a lot of money though... and probably a lot for a "kids" phone too? You can get previous generation androids that aren't total POS for ~$150, like a Moto G 8-9.
well then maybe they’d be more careful about what they publish. being a big corporation should give you less rights than a singular person, not more
Oh, that makes way more sense. 15c is still high, but not insane.
> Is the iPhone se really luxury?

If you combine the SE with the local used market, it can get extremely inexpensive. I'm currently rocking an SEv2 that I got for $150.

I'm not saying that $150 is cheap objectively, but in relation to Android phones - even used ones - it stands up pretty well.

This is especially true since Apple supports phones for so long. If you're cost constrained, you can spread the cost of a phone over more years than a typical Android phone.
You can get older iPhones for almost free. And they work fully with iMessage
What is the difference to Nike providing kids with flashy shoes when the sole purpose is class and coolness? According to the same report, Nike is the most preferred fashion brand among teens.

At least with Apple's message indication you know you're getting encryption and thus privacy from carriers. Would it be less problematic if Apple simply mentioned "warning: this is unencrypted SMS"?
First amendment isn’t under attack. Alex Jones isn’t being punished by the govt. Ge attacked people, they responded back. Defamation law has always existed and people can always sue you for libel and slander.
Honest question - could Jones sue Subodh Chandra for defamation given that his life was just valued at at least a billion dollars by a jury?
I hate apple with a passion for not opening up iMessage, but here we are.

That being said, I am getting my first iPhone in just a few days because I am sick of the 100000 choices between android phones that all suck in one way or another. I don't believe they will last more than a few years if my last samsung is any indication. And I don't give a crap about what android can do- I just want a phone that works.

So I guess you win Apple.. but it's criminal that a vast reason they have so much market share is because of imessage and the fact that it's "broken" with SMS to some degree.
Look you're wasting your time here, the way I think is irrelevant to you and this is some very specific hair splitting.

Anyway, I have the compulsive need to explain it.

I'm not speculating about what an ex-president would do because he's not the president, and might not ever be. There's a good chance that speculating about it is a waste of time. It's definitely a waste of time now, because the earliest he'd become president again is 3 years from now.

The FBI exists. It continues to exist. I don't think it should based on a myriad of past actions. I can write letters to congresspeople and the president about the FBI, and they're people in power now that I don't need to speculate about.

So we have the intangible, and the tangible.
The lock-in is very real and relevant.

Websites already have a hard time to get users to sign up, so requiring them to enroll backup authenticators (which they won't have) is not going to work. Printing or writing down backup codes is even worse from a UX point of view.

IIRC the spec has a flag to hint that the passkey is backed up (in iCloud or your Google account) so the relying party (website) knows whether backups are mandatory but that means the secret doesn't stay on your device and goes to the mothership. Then I don't see why the spec wouldn't standardize the transfer of secrets from one company to the other.

This is not about brand, this is more like "you can't participate as an equal in this virtual communal space".

Having a single android user in a group chat means the whole group chat is essentially crippled.

The kids are not being shallow here, Apple is being anticompetitive.
Apple lets you pay for so called premium content. So this is some sort of black mailing: ad free, if you pay more.

They took a look at YouTube premium, that’s all.
yes, I brought up another event and compared and contrasted the two, with the intent of demonstrating how the two things are not equivalent, yet the demonstrably more impactful media falsehood campaign remains wholly unpunished, contrasted with this situation, which is being punished rather dramatically. fairity characterized these two events as directly equivalent ("most here would agree that was equally vile and punishable. Two wrongs don't make a right.").

how's that "odd"?

-- edit, because I'm still Posting Too Fast, somehow: --

with the load-bearing word "equally" removed, your response to my post begins:

> Bringing up unpunished propaganda during the Bush era is irrelevant when most here would agree that was vile and punishable. Two wrongs don't make a right.

what conversation are you trying to have? "bad things are bad?" comparing and contrasting formally similar situations (media lies) with differing magnitudes (independent media organization calling single-digit number of individuals lying paid actors vs. an organized propaganda campaign that manufactured civilian consent for a foreign-soil invasion leading to a six-digit death toll) and the outcomes thereof (nearly a billion in fines vs. no punishment whatsoever) is not worth discussing?

the point of my post was to demonstrate how unpunished coordinated mainstream media lies are, by using an example of something that happened in the lifetime of nearly everyone who reads HN and basically everyone agrees was a concerted effort in willfully propagandistically disseminating misinformation, which resulted in wide-scale death and destruction, completely without any punishment of any kind whatsoever, to this day. then you compare and contrast that with Alex Jones, whom you have been told repeatedly by mainstream media outlets is a terrible, terrible person, for defaming about a handful of individuals to his audience (which is sizable, but not on the scale of "everyone in the US paying attention to the news, pre-social media, in the 2000s, in the wake of 9/11").

how is anyone supposed to come away from this thinking justice has been served in any way?
With the new releases, it seems that 5800x3D takes the crown for single threaded tasks and video games even in intel's 13xxx benchmarks. The 7950x is closely trailed by the 5800x3D.
Do you believe there is any kind of speech that is appropriate to have consequences for, or is there literally no line that could be crossed in your world view?
> RCS is not end-to-end encrypted

RCS uses TLS, which is about as good as iMessage if you turn on iCloud Backups[0], as they just copy your private keys.

The fab business is very sensitive to scale, with enough money and discipline you can mostly make your own luck. TSMC does way more volume than Intel and they have a very aggressive customer (Apple) that can help work out early quirks and guarantee orders on new nodes before they're economical for anyone else. I don't know what a turn around might look like but it's a tough problem.
I don't think that's a great standard. For example if I consistently call a group of people subhuman and vermin that should not exist I may not have a call to action but the ideology I'm promoting is pretty clear. It's not unreasonable to hold me accountable when a member of my audience decides to attack an individual from the group I'm dehumanizing. Nor is it unreasonable for a member of that group to sue me.

And again, the grey areas here seem like the kind of thing that a jury is able to decide. Alex wasn't found guilty by executive order from the president.
Until there are cameras and holograms this will all be a gimmick.

I switched recently due to divorcing myself from Google services and products. Overall I've found the iPhone experience to be basically the same, but with a much worse notifications system.
Just to add to the frustrating elements of this shockingly bad decision:

In my friend circle, at least, it's common for people to go in and out of using Signal. They might have had it on an old phone and forget to install it on the new phone. Whatever - life happens.

Signal can't know if someone who used to have their number registered with Signal has stopped using it. Signal will still display them as a user and accept messages. It's been invaluable for me to be able, if I message a friend after a break in communication, to send a signal message...and then, if I don't get a response, a SMS message. If they respond to the SMS I can see in our history that they had signal and switched at some point. This change takes that away and will make it must more difficult to deal with inconsistent adopters.
yes, I'm a native english speaker, I was pointing out exactly that
It's basically social suicide for kids now.

But it's great for people like me, because I'm much less likely to be added to a family group text.
I think the common take on the "Apple tax" is a false impression. A sort of knee-jerk reflex when seeing the price tag, without any further thought. Every brand has a premium product segment with premium price tags. The difference is that Apple doesn't have a budget segment with budget price tags.
So basically, a student riding a scooter was killed by a drunk driver, and the response of the city was to impose more limits on scooter riding.
If any of those crimes were being prosecuted in a poor way, or created by some sort of addressable avoidable problem, and happening in such a widespread normalized basis, then perhaps we should look at how enforcement is handled, yes. Perhaps the same can be said of internet piracy, an issue that has been hashed out ad nauseum for decades.

You seem to operate under the misapprehension that I'm saying that if a crime is widespread then it is not a crime. What I'm saying that it may not be a crime, or the current approach of prosecution of the crime is wrongheaded and should be reevaluated. And most importantly, the root causes should be examined to determine how society should progress.

If burglary and shoplifting is happening everywhere because we live in pre-revolutionary France and the sans-culottes are starving and stealing bread to survive, well. We've all read A Tale of Two Cities. Or for a later period of the same country, we've all seen Les Miz. Crimes must be analyzed in their social context.
Supporting the initiative is one reason to join. Influencing the direction of the co-operative is another. Our current corporate members want Hellō to succeed as it will help their business succeed. A rising tide raises all boats.

The only responsibility of a corporate member is to abide by the bylaws, and vote for the corporate board members.

We have been having regular corporate member meetings to review progress and discuss identity trends. I think the current members learn something from the other members at each meeting.

How does a child learn behaviours?

Children learn implicitly from the behaviours they see - mostly mimicking others.

Adults do the same thing. However most adults think they make conscious/rational choices, and they think they are not driven by subconscious behaviours.

I am not saying we learn to be killers by watching murder mysteries. I am saying we subconsciously learn some behaviours from the media we watch.

I could argue the industry standard for interoperable messaging is still MMS. Because Apple.
This "I don't want another app" thing is senseless to me. Why? What does it hurt having more than one communication channel? In my experience people that say this generally have no space on their phone, usually because of an unfettered willingness to install the taco bell app and the Starbucks app and whatever else.

Their underlying reasoning is correct. SMS sucks, really really bad. They're a secure communications channel. People see signal and think they're secure. Signal has no business supporting SMS. The on boarding has reached critical mass, the neyworke effect is here. If you're smart you'll abandon SMS altogether forever and just tell people to reach you some other way, not ditch the actual, over the internet encrypted channel.

What if you performed simple public records requests and realized that this whole event stinks to high heaven and that it was immediately politicized by politicians and billionaire media elites to suppress the rights of American citizens?

I think you missed the most vital part of the PS: nobody was allowed to play "their instrument", if they had one. So violinists were not allowed to play violin, bass players could not play bass, etc.

> acting negligently

> knew that it was false

Wrong. The bar for negligence is "should have performed X, but failed to do so".

Ex: A toddler dying by falling off a deck is negligence. The homeowner "should have repaired the deck", but failed to do so. (This bar would lead to negligent homicide or manslaughter, depending on jurisdiction).

Similarly, a journalist "should have done basic research", but failed to do so, is negligence. Its a much easier bar than "malice" (ie: knew it was false, but lied anyway).
Yet VR has none of those limitations and it still hasn't taken off like personal computers. Weird, it's almost like VR is just an interface and anything you can view in it you can just view on a regular screen, which most people prefer.

Also the comparison to early computers a little weird. VR isn't a platform that can scale out to to handle billions of e-commerce transactions or solve computational biology problems. Apples to oranges.
Doesn't match what I see. Tech knowhow is more likely correlated to whether the kid has a laptop or PC to play with rather than what OS is on their phone.

ByteDance Offers to Buy Back Employees’ Shares for $155 Apiece
Best things about the iPhone:

- long term support - can expect a new device to get 5-6 years of Apple Updates

- AppleCare

- better build quality than cheap android devices

- Reasonable expectation that required software will support it

- Not having to listen to a teen complain about what their friends have that they don't

- Finally, Updates, APPLE SUPPORTED UPDATES! - I'm really salty that my android phones had to be rooted and have another OS installed just to get basic security updates after 12-18 months.
Ironically, it's a very Silicon Valley privileged child POV. The anecdotal observation is that some smart kids, usually the hardware-oriented tinkerers, use Androids because they're more customizable. It's certainly not universal.
I find it strange how iMessage has become so important (for lack of a better word) in the States. I have had to use it for the last 2-3 months, as WhatsApp cannot be installed on my not-updated older iOS anymore, and I have to say that WhatsApp is way better at doing the messaging thing than iMessage.

Granted, I'm in my early 40s and I honestly didn't know that there were different "bubble colours" when using iMessage (depending on the phones that are part of the conversation, that is).

It is incredibly hard in the US legal system to make a defamation claim stick. Relative to other nations (in particular the UK, which the US shaped some of its law in direct reaction to around 1776), there are several defenses to defamation.

The fact that in spite of all those assume-no-malice protections for a defendant this lawsuit still found him guilty says a lot about this case specifically, and very little about the risks of merely "saying the wrong thing" (at least under a US legal framework).
Is there a reason to allow a tech company to arbitrarily emphasize ostracization and bullying to increase their bottom line?

I know there are common accusations of fan-boyism in both directions but I would hope this community can unite in calling out Apple over their messenger bullshit. Real stakeholders at Apple need to realize how damaging this profit optimization is.
Ironically, I don't see any of those takes, but lots of people like yourself immediately running around claiming there are people posting in bad faith about unions.

iPhones aren't luxury phones, sheesh.

Their flagships are, sure, but the SE is extremely competitive in the US, especially when you consider their longevity and support. And then of course there's the used market.

I mean, if 87% of teens own an iPhone, then that's very much by definition NOT luxury, as luxury is necessarily exclusive to some degree.
There's a fair number of posts in the thread now pointing out that iPhones are not-that-expensive, and all of them drive up my own engagement with the plight of the people who can't afford one. If you're, say, in a 5% bracket of society who can't afford one, it's all the more awful and potentially debilitating to have a marker on you that flags you as part of the 5%, no?

And at $430 it's still a lot more than 5% in the USA.
This is my favorite Google project. I hope it becomes something that we all can use. To me, at least, this is more useful than meeting in vr with no legs.

Given the source of the claim, are you surprised by the claim?
I think you're thinking of automotive manufacturing, which was a super important part of the economy at one point.

Cars (and by extension the policies that enable car dependence), have an extremely high externalities. They require vast amounts of public spending, lower land productivity, make areas more flood prone, damage the health of those living near car infrastructure, contribute to climate change, are traffic, drive suburban sprawl, and kill more Americans than guns do (crashes alone are just 0.3/100k fewer). The reason 'nobody considers it reasonable anymore' to walk are those policies that build for cars. In places with less car-oriented policies, people walk places. It has nothing to do with maximizing the speed of the vehicle you're using.
A lot of the time, I ask myself, "why don't we seem to have a tool with robust source-to-source transformation?" You could call it "cross-language refactoring". I wouldn't be surprised if someone with the code-base the size of Google has some internal tool. Maybe this is just wishful thinking. The closest thing I've seen is in academic research, e.g. [1].
