People are digressing into all kinds of matters unrelated to the article and issue.

The heart of the matter is not control of the device, it's about the Apple tax, and how it makes no sense in particular scenarios, such as subscriptions.

Sure enough, the app store services are worth something. Real labor, infra and costs go into it. Although Apple could very well subsidize it, it's not 100% unfair to ask for some kind of fee, such as the fee to set up a developer account.

This fairness argument goes completely out the window in the case of Spotify or Twitter subscriptions, it no longer is related to any real costs made. When you pay 10$ to stream from Spotify, it's absurd to have to pay $3 to Apple for this "privilege". Nothing about the streaming or value delivered is in any way related to the App store. They leech enormous sums of money from creators, companies and consumers.

The argument that they're a private company that can do whatever they want is moot. They're an unavoidable ecosystem middleman that affects the entire digital industry. It is insanely hostile to every player except Apple.

The fact that you can't even MENTION an alternative payment in your app should tell you how draconian and power hungry Apple is. You shouldn't cloud your judgement by liking Apple in general or disliking Spotify.
See sibling thread, we're being duplicated; the point of this OAuth flow is to sign in on a different device, using the trusted one. That different device might be a legitimate TV with a TPM and cryptographic attestations that it truly belong to John Doe, there is still no way for your iPhone and Apple to check whether you meant to sign in to John Doe's TV or if they are a scammer and sent you the (legitimate) sign-up link over email.
Espionage is a minor reason. Trivial really.

The main reason is the looming threat of invasion of Taiwan from China. Such an action is catastrophic for Taiwan and the US. I thought this was obvious. Guess not.

The US is an easier espionage point for the US to steal technology from Taiwan. Most likely it will happen. But simple espionage isn't enough for this technology to fully transfer. The expertise and knowhow is just too challenging.

Do not let your patriotism blind you from the moral grayness that operates within the US as well.
I appreciate your comment here, and the parent comment.

I've been using OPNSense[0] as my router for the past several months. So far, I am quite happy with it, but I've also thought that NixOS would be the next step.

My OPNSense router has 30+ VLANs and many layered firewall rules (my take on "zEr0 tRuSt") and so the task of converting it all to NixOS seems a little daunting.

I appreciate the utility of OPNSense's web GUI when configuring and troubleshooting my router config. It would be awesome if something like that could be integrated with NixOS. Additionally, something like nsh[1] to provide a traditional router/switch style CLI would be a dream come true.

I've been on an Ergodox Ez for ~4 years now and still love it. Took me about 2 weeks to get back up to full proficiency with it, and the programmability of it is fantastic. I've altered the layout a bit to match my workflow, using the Ergodox Ez web UI. I've got a mix of Cherry brown and Kailh Box White switches in it.

I'll let the chemistry people comment on this one but phtalates are used as a 'plasticizer' they are not plastic itself as in a micro-plastic bead

I am not sure how much of these plasticizers survives on the microplastic that you refer to. in our water supply or in airborne polyester fibers? Those are major sources of microplastic contamination but I am not sure they are major sources of _plasticizer_ contamination.

In this case there is mounting evidence against phthalates and bisphenols as endocrine disruptors. This is the stuff getting into your blood stream through ingestion or skin absorption mostly from plastic containers, hygiene products, etc.

This is one of the problems, we are missing studies that can demonstrate sources and source contribution to this problem.

Nothing has intrinsic value as value is subjective. Things may have inherent human utility, but in the case of cryptocurrency, there is certainly utility.

The true utility of a cryptocurrency is the blockchain itself as way to perform escrow, saving, spending, and transaction auditing without a human intermediary.

Despite all of this, I will grant that so far it would seem that the financial and material costs of crypto are higher than the benefits lowering overall utility.

Not all markets are equally accessible by public companies as is the case with the US. Often you have a lot of private companies, companies owned by people close to the government, etc. If you own real estate it might suddenly be disowned and given to someone close to the local elites, etc. Also, in coming decades, declining birth rates will be a global concern, not just one of the developed countries plus russia (and OMG does russia have this problem right now).
Microsoft is not Apple. Their corporate culture is different, their revenue sources are different, and their incentives and motivations are different.

> I strongly suspect BPA-free plastics have similar endocrine effects

Based on what? BPA is the monomer which makes up polycarbonate plastic, and it's a simple molecule which has been known to be an estrogen analogue for nearly 100 years. Other kinds of plastics besides polycarbonate are made from much different kinds of monomers which have no structural similarity to BPA, so why should we assume that the risk carries over? The mechanism that makes BPA dangerous has nothing to do with the fact that it can be turned into a plastic.

"A substantial 15% of bugs could be detected using type annotations. With this reduction in bugs, it's hard to deny the value of static typing."

Actually, that makes it really easy to deny the value of static typing. If the total number of bugs in dynamic and static code is the same. But some bugs in dynamic code would be caught by static typing checking.

We most conclude that adding static typing results in a large number of non-typing related bugs being added to the code base. It's simple maths.

"Have you written any assembly?" Yes, I'm an emulator author, thank you very much.

The registers and opcodes are typed with things such as u8, u16, u32, u64, i32, i64 and only work with data of the right type.

"arithmetically add parts of strings, divide pointers" You mean standard C stuff, you know the statically typed language.

"You can use void pointers as return types and arguments for all functions in c code"
Dynamic types is not the same thing as type eraser. That void pointer doesn't carry the information that it points to a picture of a cat for example.

The fact you don't understand the difference between a void pointer and dynamic typing doesn't exactly surprize me. It's more like a giant vtable.

My guess is luck. In my little circle of friends, nobody had any trouble conceiving. Heck, some were provably one-and-done (sad though it may sound, one of my friends only had sex with his wife when she was ready for them to have kids. Do it, wait a few weeks, try again, but they didn't have to try twice for either of their kids). One of my friends had two kids and his wife really wanted a third, then they had twins. Ha, whoops!

> It would be great if OAuth could include some form of cryptographic attestation

This is, as they say, a "known issue". Bearer tokens were defined in RFC 6750 and the thought was that more types of tokens would follow, including some that bound tokens and clients.

It took a while.

RFC 8705, mentioned elsewhere in thread, is one approach.

Yes. If the (overall) nominal money flows decrease but (overall) real economy size stays the same – to the extent that it’s going to change prices for no “real” reason – people and central banks are likely to notice and may react.

Central banks are tasked with stabilizing price levels. (Why? Predictability helps people make decisions and plans, and get rewarded for them. Caveat: price changes that originate in changes to real economy convey valuable information about real scarcities and surpluses. This one, kinda, doesn’t.) Prices are closely related to the ways money circulates in the economy – so CBs keep a close eye on these stats. (Why? In short, it’s a big factor in the simple monetary formula, MV=PQ, that is: overall amount of money * money velocity = price level * quantity of real consumption.) The fact you froze or burned a lot may influence how that looks, in turn possibly influencing CB decisions to put the finger on this or that scale.

Of course, the CB doesn’t know what you did exactly, it’s playing an aggregate game. Right now it would appreciate that you counteracted inflation – made everything a bit cheaper by not spending or loaning your billions for others to spend.
