Just because plasticizer has the word in its name doesn’t make it plastic. Nylon, PLA, PET, ABS, these are plastics. As far as I can tell they are not endocrine disruptors, and they are polymers - aka plastics. They require no other “ingredients” and can be used in an unadulterated form for many applications.

Phthalates are monomers (aka not plastics) that are added to plastics to change physical properties of a plastic, such as flexibility, durability, make them more transparent, etc. They’re in fact derived from alcohols to my memory, and have no relationship to plastic. But they are also called plasticizers because they make plastics behave more “plastic” (in the adjective sense not the chemical sense). They are also suspected of being endocrine disruptors. But they’re not “plastic ingredients” - their use is optional and there exist alternatives.

It is in fact an important distinction. There are other plasticizers that are not biologically active that can be used in place. Or, plasticizers don’t need to be used at all. Both of these options make the plastics benign.

It’s an important distinction because plastic isn’t the problem at all, it’s the regulatory framework around plastic additives, none of which are strictly necessary and there are almost always safer alternatives. Plus it’s important to distinguish because it’s simply false to say plastics are a an endocrine disruptor when they aren’t, even if it’s convenient to get your point across.
Example: a centralized game distributor builds an in-game marketplace for certain assets and user-generated content—think skins, plugins, and game mods that might cost $1 each. The owner of the platform collects a small fee on each sale in crypto, allowing them to have funds that are outside the control of Stripe or even a bank (useful to avoid the regular "Stripe killed my business" posts[1]). The rest of the amount goes automatically to the content creator, unlike Apple's 45 day settlement time for in-app purchases. Through on-chain contracts, these could even be split collaboratively, such as if a team builds a plugin and each member wants an equal % cut without pooling it into a single user's account. The owner and users benefit from the lack of payment processing fees (2-5% or up to 30% in app store models).

All of this is interesting, but the system also needs an easy way to get "into" and "out of" the system for those that don't want to hold crypto (or for those that are just coming to the game without any crypto). Instead of forcing them through a shady CEX like FTX, they can just buy tokens through this Stripe embed.

Most people want to update their iOS versions past iOS 14 (jailbreakable depending on device) or iOS 15-15.1.1 where one can install TrollStore. Which is still a whole thing people won’t want to do.

Otherwise the user would have to take the ipa, get an app like altstore on a compatible computer. Sync it. Then be stuck with the limitations of sideloading like needing to refresh the authorization every 7 days.

Either way. Most people won’t do this. We saw what happened when Fortnite was off the Play Store. It wasn’t that effective.
Do you just not use a computer? Why would it be any different?

I feel like Apple sells false safety and there's still scams and still malware in there.
Tonic.ai seemed to fit that bill, but we ended up rolling our own ETL job due to cost concerns, and some security preferences for a simple to audit tool to do this. tonic.ai does it on-the-fly, which was merely a nice-to-have for this use case.

That's due to old-fashioned plumbing. Wayyy back in the day when water networks were fairly new they often couldn't provide the water pressure we have now, especially in hilly areas. It was fine for cold water, but not enough to pressurise a hot water tank.

The solution was a header tank in the attic. This stored water from the supply and fed it down to the hot water cylinder, providing some pressure.

The problem is the header tanks weren't a sealed system so animals could make their way in. In particular when using rodent control poison as this makes them seek water. Generally it'd be noticed pretty quickly, but not immediately.

So the hot water was generally safe for washing but shouldn't be used for drinking or cooking.

With modern closed systems (from the 70s onwards really) this isn't an issue.
As children, we were taught to "reduce, reuse, recycle" in that order. However, the first two can be inconvenient and contrary to the interests of enormous industries that sell petroleum products or consumer packaged goods like bottled beverages. So as a result, we've mostly given up on anything other than separating our garbage into different bins, which is enough to make us feel like we've done our part for the environment.
The VMs themselves are a mix of some manually created ones (the VM configs are still NixOS though), and some IaC VMs which I just use Terraform and the libvirt provider. It's a bit clunky but I wouldn't want to embed the VM config in the hypervisor configuration as the VMs can be live migrated to other hypervisors.

MicroVM looks awesome though, thanks for the pointer!

I think higher ups at Apple know things we don't know WRT how politicians and agencies will act. It seems they are pretty confident they won't be regulated any time soon, at least in the US.
Possibly a completely dumb idea, but I’ve wondered for a while if there would be value in building an open data web index, something which would allow competing providers to offer different search algorithms on top of.

I don’t know enough about the technical details about building a search engine, so perhaps this isn’t feasible because the algorithm and the index need to be tightly coupled to each other, but my hunch is that it would be beneficial for the web if there were an open street map of search indexes.
I love Rust, but I kind of believe in the conspiracy that comptime code features are less loved by the Rust language maintainers because they increase compile time even more.

Sounds like a lot of it is just being in the right place at the right time. Apparently most of the growth consists of people trying to flee Twitter due to Musk. Though doing that sounds like jumping from a sinking ship into a toy paper boat.

I'm a senior backend engineer who has worked in pure Java and Spring, with NoSQL and SQL databases. I have built a rock-solid distributed system using kubernetes to process millions of events per day, backed by a SQL database with a NoSQL cache, with a message driven architecture powered by RabbitMQ. I built an observability system that allowed us to react to problems in seconds to minutes. I can design APIs, database schemas and distributed systems.

Looking for a mid-long term project with a good work/life balance.
I am struggling to get started on a German keyboard. Some special characters are hard to reach.
I just don’t see a monopoly though. Apple has simply been successful, and there’s no anti-consumer angle to just making incredibly popular products.

A big part of that popularity comes from the tight vertical integration. That’s why so many Apple users see this kind of talk as an attack on us, you want to make the things we like about these products illegal or commercially infeasible. I just don’t see how that is in our interests as consumers.

If you want to use products that work a different way, fine, but I don’t see how that’s our problem.
I didn't realize there was so much C and C++ in Android, I thought most of it was Java. Maybe they are just talking about the core system (including the Linux kernel and Java runtime) and not all the builtin apps.
So online banking apps should be charged 30% of forex transactions as well, right? Either way the whole comission thing is plain stupid. Maybe paying for app review & download but why for transactions?
That's an awfully vague demand. Apple protects you from a handful of things and exposes you to others, it's not a binary situation in any sense (nor will "outlawing" everything you disagree with).

Mind you, neither of us need to be at each other's throat. Apple can give me a Developer Mode toggle without taking anything away from you.
> This matches the expectations published in our blog post 2 years ago about the age of memory safety vulnerabilities and why our focus should be on new code, not rewriting existing components.

and

> As we noted in the original announcement, our goal is not to convert existing C/C++ to Rust, but rather to shift development of new code to memory safe languages over time.

For those working on C/C++ code bases, how does the incremental addition of Rust work in practice? What strategies and tools come in handy? Also, what are some good case studies where Rust was introduced to add new features, but still needed to work within a system mainly composed of C/C++? I've seen some of the first steps with Linux, but I'm thinking of a project where more substantial additions have been made.

I'm surprised at how slowly I'm getting used to it!

I mean I've improved but I still have a lot of "wtf" moments. End up doing a lot of deep copying and heap allocations just to shut the compiler up, which makes me question just how "zero cost" the safety is.

Because this is the entire internet model, it is not at all a reach to assume there is a privacy issue.

Rather, I think you should have to prove that sending your search data OR having your credentials tied to your credit card are privacy preserving.

The burden of proof is on Brave. Not skeptical or cautious users.
You're reading into things I didn't say. I don't claim that KYC will protect people--I claim that the regulations that do protect people go hand in hand with KYC.

Crypto as the libertarian dream of government-free "money" will never go beyond libertarians. Crypto as a broader-scale augment to existing financial systems? Who know? But that won't happen without KYC and regulation.

Know who seems so far unaffected by this? Coinbase. The one exchange who has been operating entirely within US jurisdiction and laws; trying to be as bank-like as possible, following all the rules.
You should say I’m correct more often, then I can reference that for my wife’s benefit.
Coinbase is facilitating purchasing between third parties. Do you have to pay 30% Apple tax when purchasing things in the e-bay app on an iPhone? (I honestly don't know, but these seem equivalent to me)
adopting also has about a million more hoops than just having kids, and this is relatively new. My mom's cousin has a 'brother' who they adopted cause his parents died a car in a neighboring house. Well, they were of the similar age and the kid came and lived on the farm with them. I don't know if theres any legal paperwork that was even done. Probably some stamps.

now? good luck adopting without a mortgage downpayment, a clean history, good credit, references, yada yada
>Rust didn't protect me from that, and those are the kind of vulnerabilities that we'll continue seeing regardless of language

I'm still thinking about how we could integrate something like that in a language or the languages package manager. I'm unsure if it's possible.

> I'm especially perplexed at the traffic showing up from a different source IP on my desktop, but I did not see any interface that matched

This is easy to do with a raw socket, you just ARP for the IP. See fantaip in Unicornscan for example an example of software that can do that for you. So, all you need is root.
No, you can’t reproduce or buy a house or find a wife or eat nutritious food. But you can get AirPods and Taco Bell delivered to your doorstep in a few hours! Isn’t modern society amazing? All of the necessities are impossible, all of the optional things are easy!
This has more to do with iptables/nftables I think. I solved this by adding my port forwarding rules to the prerouting chain and the output chain. You can use a jump to consolidate the rules, like so - https://gist.github.com/madjam002/d30f6000adf0761e92623f7de2...

As other commentators have said, switching to systemd networkd has allowed for more advanced network configurations than I ever managed with pfSense. IPv6 works pretty much out of the box with my ISP which uses DHCP prefix delegation, I can assign /64's to different VLAN networks, and more recently I set up network prefix translation (I think that's what it's called) for my lab kubernetes cluster so each pod gets a unique IPv6 address in the RFC 4193 range which maps to my actual ISP provided IPv6 prefix, so if I change ISP the IPs in the cluster would remain the same. Being able to expose Kubernetes services directly to the internet with unique IPv6 addresses is pretty nice :)
>But the web3 space is booming

TCP/IP works quite beautifully for something designed decades ago, and actually solves real problems, though (like delivering your message to my t̶e̶l̶e̶t̶y̶p̶e halfway across the globe).

Ultimately I think the danger is that the AI sounds like it knows what it’s talking about. It’s very authoritative. Anyone who presents content at that level of detail with that level of confidence will be convincing.

You can hear doubt when a presenter isn’t certain of an answer. You can see the body language. None of that is present with an AI.

And most people don’t know/care enough to do their own research (or won’t know where to find a more reliable source, or won’t have the background to evaluate the source).
Sam originally denied giving any money to Republicans, until he discovered that political donations are publicly reported and he admitted to donating to Republicans.

And that's around the time he stopped donating to Democrats and claims he started making untraceable donations to the GOP. The GOP Senate Leadership PAC admitted to receiving large dark money donations in the summer, so it's fair to say that SBF was one of these donors since the timing adds up.
Apple has had over a decade designing and testing these chips to exact specifications and use cases.

Without this you have... well, literally everyone else who haven't done this (because they couldn't or wouldn't). This is what makes it different from "specialty SOC offerings".
I suppose if the government felt that ads-supported search engines had such misaligned incentives that it would be net beneficial for society to create one without such incentives, then that might serve as a justification. I don’t actually think this is plausible, just making an analogy with say private fire departments.
These people are complete idiots. They should have run a Fortnite event instead.

Complete idiots playing with our tax monies.
From Coinbase's post:

For anyone who understands how NFTs and blockchains work, this is clearly not possible. Apple’s proprietary In-App Purchase system does not support crypto so we couldn’t comply even if we tried.

This is akin to Apple trying to take a cut of fees for every email that gets sent over open Internet protocols.
That directly contradicts in-progress efforts to make `const` better. Things like `const trait`, `const Allocators`, etc are all in progress.
For tech work computers, I'd say 32GB is the minimum one should have these days. My partner got a 16gb RAM laptop from her new company as a data analyst and she runs into trouble with it at least a couple times a week when she's got a lot of processes running.

I suppose reasonable people can disagree, but I don't think it's anywhere near as clear cut as you seem to be implying. You talk about data structures in std using unsafe, but you don't mention the heaps and piles of C code used to implement CPython's standard library.

It's not like you need `unsafe` in Rust to build every data structure. I build oodles of data structures on top of the fundamental primitives provided by std without using any `unsafe` explicitly whatsoever.

And it is not at all uncommon to write application code in Rust that doesn't utter `unsafe` at all. Even ripgrep has almost none of it. At the "application" level it has exactly two uses: one related to PCRE2 shenanigans and one related to the use of file backed memory maps. Both of those things are optional.

Then there's another whole perspective here, which is that if you're using Rust in the first place, there's a non-trivial chance you're working on something "low level" that might require `unsafe`. Where as with Python you probably aren't doing "low level" work and just don't care much about perf within certain contexts. That has less (albeit not "nothing") to do with the design of the languages and more to do with the problems you're trying to solve.

To be clear, I am not saying you're definitely wrong. But as someone who has written many tens of thousands of lines of both Rust and Python, I would put them on the same or very very close level in terms of memory safety personally. Certainly within the same tier.
That doesn't prove anything. Yes, people would rather live in the US than in India, China, or Mexico. In those places the floor is just as bad as the US, but the ceiling is way harder to reach. With a working class salary in the US you can support your entire family in Mexico. That's worth living in a shithole for.

The European immigrants have a plan B. Yes, the US sucks, but they're only here for the money and can go home anytime they want. Don't kid yourself, nobody chooses to live in the US because they think it's better than Europe.
> But for a list speaking from a position of expertise it felt quite jarring to see it included as a definitive "don't" and made me wonder about the agenda of GP (soy with respect to fertility is indelibly linked with the far-right "soyboy" meme).

I can see why that would make you wonder. However, a few years ago, the French TV did a take on soy and products containing derivates [0] (French only, unfortunately). It warned about possible effects on the endocrine system.

In relation to your point, there are two notable things:

1. It focused mainly on effects in females (never heard of a "soygirl" meme)

2. French TV is not affiliated with the alt-right (or any right) in any way, shape, or form. It has a reputation of being quite left-leaning. And that's by French standards.

> some paper. For everything else, it's very expensive or just impossible to recycle, and those costs are rising because they are labor intensive. You have

Paper and plastic are just processed trees and oil, in other words: fuel. Just really dirty, but nearly as valuable as coal per kg if you don’t have any environmental controls to worry about.

Paris has the biggest incinerator in europe on its territory and probably puts most of its garbage and much of its “recycling” in there.

Glass probably gets landfilled, but can be dumped in a less regulated landfill (mix with construction waste, don’t need to cap or collect leachate or methane). Hard to say if the separate collection streams pay off, but the sorting is a cost the government doesn’t pay for.
That might be how you imagine the stock market works based on first principles but Investopedia tells us

"The most liquid stocks tend to be those with a great deal of interest from various market actors and a lot of daily transaction volume. Such stocks will also attract a larger number of market makers who maintain a tighter two-sided market."

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/liquidity.asp

In other words the more appetite for the stock, the more liquid the stock, and therefore the easier it is for a buyer to acquire the stock. This is presumably because stock market indexes will refuse to include an illiquid stock, meaning there will be less demand for the stock, and the stock price will drop.

Apple did a 4 for 1 stock split in 2020. Do you really think they screwed over their investors because you know something they don't about how stocks are valued?
What about pineapples?
Yeah, but the compiler need to see through all the functions to find out that there is no const_cast and therefore makes const useless because it could as well see it is not modified.
Also it needs to be good at alias analysis.
Assisted suicide (death in friendlier terms) like we have in Canada is only going to become more permissive and other pleases will continue to adopt such laws.

In the future when people have real options this is less likely to be an issue.
This isn't the case, it's just that the approach to bring comp time evaluation to Rust is difficult because we're trying to side step potential back compat or ambiguous restrictions that we otherwise would have. Rust follows the "when it's ready" delivery approach wich means that some eagerly awaited features take much longer than us, as users, would want.
