It's more a policy issue than a technical issue. But security-wise, malware on macOS is definitely not a solved problem. There are very real differences between the pervasiveness of iOS (and iPadOS) exploits and on macOS.

As for reasoning: anything that costs money to do but doesn't get you any money in return is a reason not to do it. This can obviously be a direct effect or side effect:

- If it is easy to run iPad apps on an iPad without paying for them, an entire sales channel is going to make a whole lot less (this isn't as much about the availability of free apps, but about the single pipeline for end-users)

- If someone at Apple needs to work on supporting boot loader selection menus and recovery modes etc. that's someone who needs to get paid, and it's going to take a whole lot of iPad sales to cover that expense; when looking at other devices and markets, most of their life they run whatever software they came with and get trashed with that same software and replaced; no post-market OS involved

- Perspective; some people might feel like their status symbolism is attacked if a device gets additional users, even if very few, that don't match their perceived user base

- Legal might want to try and make the devices keep their appliance-like status, instead of turning them into general purpose computing devices; this is pretty similar to consoles and stuff like network equipment; most of them are general purpose computers with some job-specific add ons, you could run all sort of deviating tasks on them

The only reason I might find reasonable is the end-user tunnel vision. As soon as a device gets some form of multiple personality disorder that makes a lot of things harder for everyone on the supporting side (including that family member that everyone always asks for help with their computer gets a BSOD, but also the helpdesk, in-store support, documentation etc.). It's also pretty easy to socially engineer someone into compromising their own devices, and that is a bad thing with bad results. We can't expect everyone to be capable and able to make informed decisions and know how their stuff works. A jailed experience on an appliance-like device yields far better results in that scenario.

Ironically, this also puts a very big additional load on apple to get this 'as right as possible' when all the tools they sell must work consistently, all day, every day. For the end user, but also for business use. If some special function needs to be made available, and Apple is the only one who can enable that, they will feel that heat if it's something requested or standardised often enough. Take CAC support; if there is a sector that simply won't be able to use the product without it, Apple will have to make a choice; implement it and make money from significant sales, or don't, and miss all those sales.
VRChat has a feature where you can set an angle offset ("horizon adjust") for all of your tracked positions (headset and controllers). So if you're laying down facing the ceiling, you can press a button and the game will treat it in-game as if you're standing up looking forward.
Hacker News Is Not Globally Popular and High-Traffic
“Hey who’s xjinping@ccp.cn? Do they really need Editor access to the East Asia Strategy shared drive? Ah crap I accidentally clicked accept”
Okay, I get what you are saying. The distinction I was trying to make was that a program that gives people cash every month and then asks some of them to pay it back to the government at the end of the year would be devastating to most consumers (this is how some UBIs have been framed).

But I think we are on the same page. If you file a W-2, you are probably going to withhold income. At which point they are functionally the same.
Cool I should give that a try. But a decade ago that didn’t exist and for undergrad and grad school Sheets was amazing. I almost did my dissertation in Docs but decided to use Pages instead (which was simpler than Word but a few times lacked what I needed… if I could do it again I’d of used Word)
In internet years 2010 is basically a lifetime ago.
You might be laughing, but baking soda used to be injected to tumors to reduce lactic acidosis (cancer cells can't proliferate without being immersed in lactic acid). So the people you mentioned might have been running on older research and scientific beliefs. The new version is to use medication that actually decreases lactic acid to slow down/stop growth of tumors (DCA, mega-dose thiamine etc.)

Another funny fact - most cancer cells get energy the same way as fungus/yeast - by fermentation, and not like most human cells by perspiration. That might be why those people said "cancer is just fungus".
Perhaps I'm old and tired, but I think that the chances of finding out what's actually going on are so absurdly remote that the only thing to do is to say, "Hang the sense of it," and keep yourself busy. I'd much rather be happy than right any day.
For me Japan doesn't seem that foreign, I mean they have a basically individualistic outlook that doesn't seem to strange to an American, at least this American.

I saw a line printed pin up of Lum from Urusei Yatsura when I was in college, went to the anime club, and developed an obsession with Japan that continues today.

It is well compartmentalized (I rarely talk about it on HN) so I rarely come across as a North America weeaboo but if you open my backpack you might find a

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kendama

and a Nintendo 3DS and a Sony Minidisc player and a box of 4x6 prints I made some of which are anime art and

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukiyo-e

and also a book or a copy of the Pillow Book. (This is not all I am into you will find some Italian and Russian futurist painting reproductions, maybe a book about Fuzzy Logic or Margaret Thatcher too. Probably the strangest thing about my backpack is that it is overpacked, something appropriate for a long trek into an intellectual desert.)

Until Japan every non-western culture posed no effective resistance to imperalism. The Japanese felt they had choice but to beat the white man at their own game and they've come very close to doing so, setting a precedent for other cultures.

If there was one thing unique about Japan I'd say it is highly resistant to Christianity. In the past they banned Christianity and oppressed them just as violently as Christians oppressed Christians in Europe. Today there is little direct hostility to Christianity but there is almost no market penetration for it. Contrast that to Korea, where people will discover it, think it is the best news they ever heard, get more people to show up at church and next week have them bursting out the doors and ready to start a new church across town.
They did both. They tapped private inter-DC fiber of Google's that wasn't encrypted. Additionally they had a cute hack that could crack Diffie Hellman at a cost of about $100M a prime (and most of the internet at the time used the same primes). So most TLS/IPSEC/SSH etc was wide open to them too if they could catch the handshake.
Ah, I'm aware of the feature in the devtools, but I thought this feature was designed to capture the performance of the browser UI itself.
Interesting company! Are there any commercial oral care products with arginine in them? What’s your opinion on the toothpaste with lysine supplements and the oral probiotics for gum care?
UTM on iOS doesn’t have access to the virtualization extensions on the M1 chip (you need a private entitlement, ergo, a jailbreak). Without them, VMs will be painfully slow.
I'm more interested in the engineers who are removing 100 LOC a week and making the system simpler and more reliable.

Musk is definitely not one you should listen to for advice about software engineering. Or rather, his mental model of software engineering is very big on "a small number of geniuses solving impossible problems to make a breakthrough" which is only a tiny fraction of the total effort in the software engineering space.
I just want to be able to dock it and run it like my MacBook Pro. I just want one device.

Thanks yardshop for clarifying my point of view. And I agree with you stavros. There should be multiple ways of building things, some of which must be practical. Most of our day-to-day job should not be building things from scratch, even though there is a lot of fun in doing so :)
3. Rust is a boring language.

That broken version was 8 years old at the time of the bug? Screw that. I’d you’re running an 8 year old unmaintained script you have different issues.
Can’t you just use the official Ubuntu installer with Parallels? (ARM version of course)
Excel desktop and web client are still a mess. One of the more common use cases IMO is nothing more than a table with filtering applied. That DOES NOT WORK with Excel under their Office 365 (now Microsoft 365) offering. Data simply won't match up and can easily be lost upon modification where what you see is NOT what you get. For that single reason I dread M365. *It has been like that for over two years and counting, multiple documents and less than a hundred rows and a handful of users.
I'd give you (several) history books and ask you to consider when US or Western political/military action in the middle east has actually improved the lives of people living there.

In case you haven't got the time to read up on history, consider the fact that each of the following states has 'benifited' greatly from western interference in the recent past:
Libya, Syria, Iraq, Iran (and lets not forget Palestine!).
Seems like a good start to break the dependency on windows.

> Apple will never open up the ipad because that's not what it's for. It's for media consumption and running paid apps via the app store.

The limitation is that you can't execute code you download off of random sites on the internet. The amount of Android malware that relies on the ability to download random code and execute it is massive.

>One of the keys to Joker’s success is its roundabout way of attack. The apps are knockoffs of legitimate apps and, when downloaded from Play or a different market, contain no malicious code other than a “dropper.” After a delay of hours or even days, the dropper, which is heavily obfuscated and contains just a few lines of code, downloads a malicious component and drops it into the app

As they mention, this family of Android malware has been around forever, yet it still shows up regularly in the Play Store.

>Known as Joker, this family of malicious apps has been attacking Android users since late 2016 and more recently has become one of the most common Android threats.

The same scientists were amazed to find that the loaf of bread they left next to the PCR machine became moldy even though their lab was spotless!

Their next paper will demonstrate that contrary to popular belief, wheat is not a plant but a composite organism!
Didn't work for me at first, but I moved on the website pages and it did.
The most frustrating part for me was the locals encountered in a rural setting are often low income.

There can be significant hostility and jealousy once they learn you're an overpaid techie city slicker. When socializing I've found there's an ongoing source of friction whenever it comes to conversations involving employment opportunities or money/expenses.

It gets old when stuff like mentioning some employment options with the neighbor you occasionally have beers with, is met with them just bitching about never having had such opportunities. That evolves into something like folks viewing you as rich, privileged, and living the easy life where six-figure jobs fall from the sky. Plus you'll surely receive a good bit of blame for any increasing area prices/gentrification.

But it also got old to hear nothing but talk of funding rounds, term sheets, vesting schedules, peppered with whatever tech buzzword salad of the month, whenever I frequented cafes in the SF bay area. It should be noted though that practically anyone I interacted with there would have been able to speak casually about which FAANG is the least evil employer without risk of animosity, even the barristas.

Another thing to consider when rural is because of the low population size/density, it doesn't take very many offended locals to become effectively isolated. And in my experience rural locals aren't exactly the most sophisticated or nuanced when it comes to understanding one another.

YMMV
Can you point me at the DH crack? This?

I don't recall that ever being associated with breaking Google traffic although I recall there were some Google SSL changes around the time which may be related. I simply haven't seen any direct evidence, while a packet dump on a slide is direct evidence.
A fascinating field of inquiry. Digestive systems and their inhabitants have evolved over millions of years.

So the Army uses it but if you're a government contractor you can't use it because you can't get a NIST 800-53 or CMMC compliant configuration on Workspace...

Before anyone tells me that Workspace is FedRAMP compliant: Yes, I know, but they do not expose the controls necessary for non-government users to be compliant.
You're asking this like "enterprise customers" as a group
make sense or act logically.

My best guess is something like outlook or other client integration for "legitimate" impersonation.
> You mean they are “inescapable” because people used their own free will to choose them?

I didn't authorize facebook to create an account for me, but they made one for me in secret anyway and they buy data from data brokers to fill my dossier with details of my life. Facebook isn't giving me a better experience when they track my internet browsing and app usage.

I don't "choose by my own free will" to make government websites send my data to Google by including trackers in their pages, but I still have to use those sites to get the data they provide and the services they offer.

Lots of people could use a Pine phone, but cannot afford one and the last time I checked into pine phones the "better experience" in that case would have meant "Can actually be used to place a phone call". What kind of alternative is a phone that couldn't place calls? They've likely fixed that issue by now, but let's not pretend that all choices are remotely equivalent or accessible.

If there's no comparable alternative to something it's extremely disingenuous to suggest that people must love it, or that they are making a deliberate choice to use it. Often there is no choice that doesn't involve upending your entire life or cutting yourself off from society.

For example, I could quit my job, leave my entire career behind, and endanger the health and safety of my family to try to find some entry level job in another industry that wouldn't make me use a Microsoft product, but if I'm not willing to do that does that mean I choose to use Windows of my own free will?

At what point does "give up everything and endanger the people you love or else keep using Windows" start feeling less like a choice freely made and a lot more like someone putting a gun to your head? Sometimes a "choice" isn't much of a choice at all, and in the case of using Google or Facebook you have no choice since they are impossible to avoid in today's society.

I've used it professionally for error correcting code design, robotic control, crypto (ecc and multivariate polynomial), lots of computer vision uses, grobner bases to simplify algorithms, and geometric modeling. Perhaps more if I look over lists of past projects...
I can't quite wrap my head around how that would work, but I'll trust you and then take my original claim back!
It would be so great to be able to install full MacOS… I really wish it was an option for advanced users like many of us here.
The Army also has some embarrassing past use of Google Workspace.

Some research borders on reverse-engineering. I know I've had to dig into the source of Wayland and X11 to do anything related to them. Sure, there's an "API". The API is the source code.
>Because iOS devices lack hardware virtualization support, we cannot use the KVM accelerator and instead use the TCG accelerator which does dynamic code translation and JIT compilation. UTM also includes a SPICE client written for Metal. This connects with the SPICE server in qemu and allows for some para-virtualization as the QXL graphics driver running on the guest OS can send low-level draw commands directly to Metal APIs.

Is arginine necessary to apply topically to the teeth, or can it just be ingested? If the latter, you can get l-arginine supplements easily. They are also supposed to help with certain, um, circulation issues.

Also, xylitol is a great biofilm disrupter. Chewing xylitol gum has been shown to be beneficial in preventing carries.
Irresponsible click bait title. If you are over 40,take a colonoscopy. I lost my brother (44) from colon cancer which could have been totally prevented. It was a very painful and depressing experience, multiple rounds of chemotherapy and surgeries that lasted over four years and sent his family into bankruptcy. He stopped eating solid foods weighing only 47 kilos and died from suffocation, pretty much liquid accumulating and pressing against his lungs until he could no longer breath. It's a slow and horrible dead that can be prevented with a simple one hour procedure done once every 5-10 years and in many cases 100% covered by insurance.

It's a perverse incentive providing poorer service enables more fines. Of course the cost benefit of this approach is rarely considered by the government involved.
Much more about all the stories scientists may choose to ignore is found in the book "Hamlet's Mill" [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamlet%27s_Mill], which was "severely criticized by academics" after publication in 1969. Like most out-of-the-orthodox-mainstream evidence of its day (and nearly-all unorthodox ideas in Wikipedia today).
On the positive side of the ledger, this slightly decreases the likelihood of Google shutting it down.

Ask HN: Are instanced templates de-duplicated in C++?
I have a scenario I've often wondered about.

Someone creates an std::vector<someType>, and an std::vector<otherType>. Both types are identical to an uint64 (example).

Would the compiler emit code for both types, or smartly deduplicate this and emit a set of functions being used just once? In my head this would seem possible, but may require RTTI to tell "this vector" from "that vector". I've wondered if this is the reason C++ can create such large binaries.

Is this dangerous? Is this common? Does it incur RTTI overhead or something? Is this called something specific in this list?

Thank you.
Harvest's JP location was costing them an arm and a leg in maintenance and repair due to the building (an old mansion) being in very poor shape, and then Whole Foods bought up a property from a local ethnic 'super' market whose owners were done being in the grocery business.

Harvest built out a very fancy new store very close to a major subway/bus terminus that was gorgeous but everyone went to the Whole Foods which was closer to the higher population-dense areas. Location, location, location - but also WF was very stiff competition.

I never saw rotten produce. I have no idea what the other commenter is on about. Organic, locally-sourced, heirloom produce often isn't as pretty as the stuff genetically modified or bred to survive being shipped halfway around the world and stored in a warehouse for 6 months.
Yes, and also the M1 would have to magically become suitable for server workloads.
Typically, infections traveled faster than Europeans, and most natives died before ever seeing one.

Neither side really understood what was happening.

The smallpox blanket warfare has very little historical evidence. It's also a far fetched thing to do centuries before germ theory.
Not to be pedantic, but we do have the social-political will, just not enough of it.

this seems misdirected. there was only one paragraph at the end. i found the rest of the article insightful and interesting
I have a hypothesis for why this happens. Sexual reproduction has a very neat property: Recombination. Two individuals that each have one harmful mutation can through recombination have offspring without either of them. This allows removal of harmful mutations from the gene pool without terminating someones entire lineage - important when every generation comes with a decade of mutations, unlike microorganisms that are more on the scale of hours or days. However mitochondrial DNA cannot recombine, so it cannot benefit from this mechanism. Therefore it makes sense to move as much DNA as possible from the mitochondria to the nucleus. The same goes for the Y-chromosome, and could explain why it has been losing genes over time at a truly astounding pace.

> In the last 190 million years, the number of genes on the Y has plummeted from more than 1,000 to roughly 50, a loss of more than 95 percent.

Has anyone had issues with normal INDEX/MATCH stuff in Google Sheets?

I was actually OK with moving from Excel to Google Sheets since the coverage of functions seemed mostly ok, minus all the new cool shit they added in one of the more recent releases (XLOOKUP, etc) but I literally tried a trivial INDEX/MATCH with a simple 5x20 matrix of price values and literally could not get it to work even though the identical "code" worked in Excel.

Really, really frustrating. I was working at a hedge fund at the time and I was simultaneously working on a real time portfolio dashboard as a web app, and needed to also have a stopgap solution in the form of a spreadsheet for people to play with and debugging differences in Google's spreadsheet function implementations and Excel's was infuriating
Anecdotally, I’m having one hell of a time with my 3yo and 5yo’s teeth.

No juice. No soda. No bad snacks. Lots of dentist recommended foods and snacks. Full brushing and flossing regimen. Fluoride. Dentist applied special fluoride treatments. Trust me when I say we’re doing everything right.

And yet they’re 3 and 5 and have had so many cavities.

I asked my dad about it and he said my brothers and I had, frankly, poor dental hygiene, and not a single cavity until our teens.

I’m not saying it’s because of this organism or any specific thing. But I cannot shake the feeling that something significant has changed in the last 30 years.
