It's simple - an app asks for background location permissions, then uploads all the datapoints and timestamps the OS gives them to their servers, which is then resold with "anonymization" that just replaces any personal information with an impersonal unique identifier.

That's the reason Apple/Google have clamped down so hard on location permissions since then. But even a degraded dataset is still valuable - https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/08/fog-revealed-guided-to...

I'd wish you the best of luck, but at this point investing into a hackintosh setup seems a bit like booking a ticket on a sinking ship -- what with support for Intel-Macs ending in the coming years.

I definitely understand prioritizing repairability and supporting a small company doing cool things as well... but maybe not well enough to pay the same money for what feels like a much worse CPU architecture for MacOS and mobile devices at this point. shrug.
Do you have Microsoft 365? It's a requirement for the feature.

It's part of "connected experiences" so this is the article on GPO: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/privacy/manag...

On a Mac, one thing to note is:

> If the user has an Office 365 (or Microsoft 365) subscription and is signed in with a work or school account, or if the user has Office LTSC Standard for Mac 2021 or Office Standard 2019 for Mac, then the user can't turn off connected experiences that analyze content.
> Most people don't really appreciate how close Twitter was to shutting down.

> Twitter was on its death bed and was desperate for money.

I worked at Twitter at the same time, and while the company definitely was going through a rough patch at that time, it was absolutely not anywhere close to 'shutting down' or 'on its death bed' financially.
Yeah I saw it as an allegory to liberte hedonism and in particular Le Marquis de Sade [1], from whom we derive the word "sadistic".

Sadism is a common enough fetish, and given the extent to which other "extreme" sexual fetishes are catered to today with technology it's absolutely plausible that a "sadism simulator" would be popular in a high-tech future society.

Congrats on the TB4 certification! If you're ready to talk about it, I'd love to hear more about the battery life improvements hinted at in the blog post. Battery drain when suspended is probably my #1 QOL issue with Linux on a 12th Gen framework (closely followed by the mutual exclusivity of the brightness keys and the light sensor).

I think we pretty much agree on all this, particularly the effectiveness of the hybrid model.

>What we are seeing is actually the commercial company are far more willing to risk these things the governments.

My personal opinion is that that NASA (less so the military) are risk-adverse in terms of political risk. When there's little political risk, they are quite fine blowing stuff up to learn.

One thing that I've noticed is that commercial companies tend to take an engineering perspective and NASA tends to take a more fundamental science perspective. For example, when SpaceX had COPV issues, they were fine to just change the design and move on without understanding the root failure mechanism. NASA funded their own studies to try and understand what was going on. This is the direction I'd like to see the hybrid model continue.

I do think that contract changes can risk efficiency drops, though. Right now, CCP doesn't have to show a lot of their work. This may mean that their "efficiency" is a product of process gaps, rather than better processes. The CST-100 software validation was a prime example. It was a definite process gap that allowed them to get to launch quicker. If they were lucky and didn't run into issues, NASA would be none the wiser.

On this new Google Pixel 7, the app launcher thing is limited to just 4 apps. Now that I can't use Signal for SMS, it has lost it's convenient spot on my home screen. I find myself using it less, so like you, I'm very displeased about their dropping SMS. The forum thread on Signal's Discourse about the change is full of snide remarks from their moderators, and it's extremely disappointing to see Signal community leaders disparaging their own long-time users over SMS. Turning back on the legacy of TextSecure in this way justifies framing this as a betrayal.

All that being said...

I still trust Signal's Stories implementation over any other. While I believe they could have competed with SMS-capable apps like iMessage, Google Messages, and Samsung Messages, if pivoting into WhatsApp/Instagram/Snapchat/TikTok territory is what they'd rather do, then I believe they can execute it well.
Actually, multiple studies have shown that yes, while some did get richer in the USA, the cost of globalization - worldwide - was mainly born by the middle class. People in poverty received governmental assistance.

And as someone who is in India frequently, the idea that newfound wealth was shared as a deliberate policy mechanism with lower classes is somewhat ... discredited.

I believe in globalization - but the US government should have done a better job helping people with it's impacts, and the developed world should stop pretending that there was no cost to others to make it happen.
Why does the US need to stick to a 2% inflation rate? India's has exceeded 5% for decades (https://www.worlddata.info/asia/india/inflation-rates.php#:~....).

I encourage the author to take an economics class. There's a common trend of smart people trying to fumble through what amount to the first semester of economics. Even a brief exposure gives you enough knowledge to know the name of what you are interested in.

In this case, it's an argument for price discrimination -- charging different prices to different buyers based on their willingness to pay. And in fact "textbooks" is one of the examples given on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_discrimination#Textbooks

This allows you to lean on what's already known. Specifically, identifying market segments with different elasticity and enforcing the scheme.

Have people started using the phrase "purchasing power parity" to refer to a pricing scheme that corrects for PPP? I think "parity" might be leading people astray because it actually just refers to an adjustment to GDP or other indicators for purchasing power. It doesn't refer to a pricing scheme. I could suggest the name "Purchasing Power Parity Pricing" if you want something you can say you "support".

(That said: I think this is isolated to extremely high margin goods and will not translate to others.)
First time Im hearing of an ATM dispensing $10 bills.

Back when ATMs were new, you could get any amount, including change.

The ATMs at the Chase bank next door currently dispense any bills you want, but not change. After you tell it how much you want, it asks you how you would like it and you can tap different denominations.

Last month I took out $17, just to see it work.
This is exactly a product idea I had and a product I have been desperate to find and buy. Included the "no cloud connection or hub needed" being a desired feature.

Instead I now have a crappy overly complex setup that involves a bunch of lifx bulbs, a flic hub and buttons and a synology NAS running some python scripts from task scheduler every few minutes to set the desired temperature at certain time ranges (hard coded).

That Twist idea sound(ed) perfect. What a bummer that it didnt work out.
Vague pattern matching of behaviour is not useful, interesting, or difficult.

This is absolutely necessary to stop scammers, like when the former PM of Somalia's 'verified' account was hacked, its display name was changed to "vitalik.eth", and a tweet about an ETH "giveaway" received eleven thousand likes (obviously from fake accounts).

Also, verification by definition means you lose your verified checkmark when you change your display name, as that display name was not the one that had verified. This should have been the case ten years ago.
Apple is a 2+T dollar company. How much is enough? Is is really such a priority to introduce ads to keep growing each and every damned quarter? And what if people stop buying their hardware because of the crap they're doing with their software; will they stop ads to refocus on hardware or will they milk the fuck out of the people who do keep buying their hardware?

Lots of entities sell this, right now:

* https://www.advanresearch.com/

* https://www.placer.ai/

It comes from the telcos directly (think Sprint phones with custom OS installs), it comes from popular mobile SDKs (e.g. why Yahoo bought Flurry), and it comes from apps who simply sell the data directly.

There is one journalist who actively covers this sort of PII/data-selling world: Joseph Cox at Vice [1]. The only US-based legislator who actively fights against this is Senator Wyden.

Yes, it's incredibly unlikely. So unlikely that it's basically impossible.

They explicitly and unambiguously deny doing it; if that was incorrect, there would be a huge regulatory and public backlash. (Think of what happened with the Cambridge Analytica case, despite Facebook's hands being pretty clean on that). No disgruntled ex-employees blew the whistle on this but did on other issue), which suggests it probably didn't happen.

Selling ads is very profitable. Selling data directly risks that business for little gain. In addition to the backlash when that data selling were revealed, it risks somebody else using the data sold by Meta to outcompete them on ad targeting.

This topic made me think that you'll eventually have to support all FP principles in a strongly type safe language like Rust which reminds me of Scala FP community. I'm not sure if it ended up being a good thing for Scala long-term.

I also wonder whether Linux kernel community would adapt these concepts or reject them for the sake of KISS.
My only issue with that is i would miss the os. The hardware on apple laptops is rubbish, but the os is great and makes then appear fast and slick.
Sorry, did I imply somewhere that criticism is bad? Because heck no, and if I apologize. Counter-analysis is important! Critical, even. And there are plenty of ways to do that. Like "if I were to steelman the opposition". Or, if you're going to put your chips down: "this feels incorrect, because X."

That particular phrase is pretty much used for bad faith remarks when one wants to distance themselves from the blast radius. It's hiding the ball. Doubly so when one, as the person to whom I replied did, has to invent a situation where it'd be okay (so as to imply by transference that others are okay).
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Card for a good example of a safe language substituting for memory management.

I wouldn't say Turbo Pascal was a "safe language". It's less dangerous than C but it still lets you do low level memory operations.
Then they type "clubbing" or "cars" or "<insert city>" or whatever and see a shit ton of other instances they get to choose from.

This is a *BAD THING* and it's not surprising people here on HN don't see that.
Monumental (if correct) advance in number theory posted to ArXiv by Yitang Zhang
Yitang Zhang, the mathematician behind the 2013 breakthrough on bounded gaps in primes, posted to the arxiv today a result which (if correct) comes close to proving the nonexistence of Landau--Siegel zeros: https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.02515.

To give a sense of the scale of this claim: If correct, Zhang's work is the most significant progress towards the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis in a century. Moreover, I think this result would not only be a more significant advance than Zhang's previous breakthrough, but also constitute a larger leap for number theory than Wiles' 1994 proof of Fermat's Last Theorem (which was, in my opinion, the greatest single achievement by an individual mathematician in the 20th century).

Some of the answers from the article:

> “Married people may be much more likely to have these conversations around what goals they have for their financial future,” she said. “There seems to be something very special and unique about deciding to share finances.”

> Unmarried couples may be less willing to commingle their money, said Prof. Garbinsky.

The number one cause of divorce in America is money fights and money problems ( per https://www.k-state.edu/media/newsreleases/jul13/predictingd... )

Couples who pool their finances increase relationship satisfaction - especially in low income families - per https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2022-42962-001

Combining accounts is something my wife and I decided to do right away when we got married. It's way less complicated than the alternative. We don't have fights about money. We talk about big purchases before we make them. Since she's more of a free spirit to my money nerd, sometimes I have a little trouble bringing her to family budget reviews, but eventually she finds some time to talk.

Reviewing our budget/financial health gives us an opportunity to talk about our future financial plans, what we want to be able to afford, our hopes and dreams. And we never have to think about who's going to pay for what out of what account. The money earned in the family isn't "her money" and "my money", it's our money.
> What if you just stopped writing bad code?

This is a popular but useless question. The reality is that to err is human. At scale it's even worse because now you're not just accepting that you personally may be capable of mistakes when writing software, you might have made a mistake when hiring the people who in turn hire the programmers. Ouch.

> What if you used static analyzers to detect these issues before shipping?

In principle all the modern safer languages are in some sense is more static analysis. But the analysis is made possible in considerable measure through language design. If you insist on an unsafe language (like C or C++) then the analyser can't help much beyond "Don't use this language". Good advice.

> What if you put bounds checking into your functions to prevent this?

Bounds checks are a very small part of the problem. They're symptomatic (a language designed to do well at this will enforce bounds by one means or another) but not sufficient.

> What if you tested your software more effectively before shipping it?

You can't afford to actually test software thoroughly by its nature. You will only be able to test a microscopic fraction of possible system states, whether the softwawre works as intended under all the many other states remains unknown.
They used to have very nice vineyards just North of Paris in the 1300s going into the 1500s (I may be slightly wrong on this last date), that sort of info doesn't get repeated often enough in today's climate-obsessed language.

C on a modern compiler is very abstract, and the abstractions are an insecure pain in the ass.
The joke in the C community since the early 80's is that C isn't a high-level language, it's a medium-level language. Others quipped C is a portable assembly language: programmer beware! This was 40 years ago! Let's not pretend we've recently discovered all these problems with C. This has been known for decades. It's also been tolerated for decades because we had nothing more performant we could use and we needed to wring every ounce of performance we could get out of those feeble processors we had available at the time. Unfortunately because we were forced to use C it has an inertia that's kept it going all this time. But there's also a counterforce slowing down C's penetration. Now the last bastion of C is kernels, drivers, and embedded systems (used to be much, much more). Now we're seeing Rust starting to move into these spaces and actually we've been using non-C languages now in the embedded system space for the past 10 years. It's really just kernels and drivers remaining for C.

As far as using C as an ABI - I agree, that needs to evolve. I'm not opposed to using an interface specification language created specifically for ABI's. I think that's the way forward.
Not OP, but a very happy Framework owner.

The ability to upgrade hardware incrementally is a big part of it for me.

Also just seeing updates like this one, where Framework is intentionally trying their best to future-proof devices.

Basically any other vendor would have said "Upgrade to the Framework 3.0 with the new Thunderbolt chipset!" forcing you to buy a whole new machine for thousands of USD, and then soldered in a single thunderbolt port so only the other 3 were modular going forward.

I've been using my Framework all year for intensive engineering work and love it. Will likely be a customer for a very long time.
I don’t perceive the original author to be “putting the dirt” on Musk.

It is likely that the third-party partners who were interested in collecting that data remain interested. The leadership who formerly blocked access to that data has left, and the new ownership finds himself in need of new revenue streams. It seems like a reasonable time to call attention to the issue, though I agree with others in the thread that it should be a larger story not specific to a single platform.
The question is then: what is this clause worth?

I don't think that using code to train an AI with results in any code produced by that AI to somehow carry the license of that training code.

If I read the Linux source code to learn C does that mean that any C code I then write is GPL'd? No.

Now of course does acceptance of that license a contractual agreement to treat AI-produced code as derivative work?

These are all questions for lawyers...

Your immaturity really is quite astounding, Sir. I'm neither "chanting" anything, nor making empty arguments. The fact that you refuse to accept empirical evidence or history isn't my fault, that's your own blinkered view and hatred -- and if you don't like being accused of ignorance and bigotry, perhaps you could try being less ignorant and bigoted.

As for respect, the fact that you're seemingly triggered by the mere concept of offering it to people, shows how little your puerile and vitriolic take matters.

Deflection and fake outrage are the bastions of angry conservatives clutching at the final straws -- then running away while deliberately avoiding the empirical facts of the matter, that you find personally inconvenient.
