>seriously, anyone at this point advocating for any other phone/os/service out there besides apple is really going out of their way to swim up river

Fanboyism is expected, but this kind of statement is always bizzare to me. I run an aosp build with no Google software. How can a closed, proprietary system which pinky swears they will not do nasty stuff with your phone possibly be better than that?
Seems strange that she got away with more, I can't qwhite put my finger on it
weird that facebook would suspend you for using tor when they have an official onion service.
Many macOS utilities and facilities have man pages, including things like launchd plists (man launchd.plist).
Thank you for the link to the paper; very interesting!
Problem is that due to the bullshit asymmetry principle, explaining why takes orders of magnitude more effort than producing the bullshit in the first place.

If you unconditionally accept bullshit but require an explanation in order to reject it, then you're going to wind up believing a lot of bullshit.
Fortunately, all the court proceedings, arguments, and reasoning are entirely public, so an academic could examine all of this very closely and report on how sexism may or may not have played a role in the disparate sentencing.

Any such analysis would have to start with the fact that he was convicted on 12 counts, and she was convicted on 4.
Does that not have to be

Android allows you to update apps from outside the play store.
Yeah even my trashy-genre-fic loving friend who's read all or nearly all the novels says only a couple are OK, and IIRC he said only one was really decent enough that he'd recommend it to others, versus the films, of which he likes a bunch. And he likes some bad novels (as he'll readily acknowledge) and plenty of older "classic" genre fic, plus some not-so-trashy British classics (Austen, Dickens, et c), so it's not a recency bias, or difficulty with the settings, topics, author's culture, or writing style.

Seems the film-makers largely agreed that it wasn't worth trying to preserve much from the books.
> 30% of all revenue that passes through an iPhone

A bit of hyperbole there. 30% of revenue from sales of digital goods after the first $1m (15% before).

I’ve probably spent $20k on Amazon using my iPhone this year alone. You don’t think Apple takes 30% of that, do you?

Besides, it’s so funny when people use “rent seeking” as a pejorative. Like, yes, the reason my landlord bought this house for a lot of capital up front was that they believed it would be profitable rent it for much smaller amounts for a long time. What, am I supposed to feel entitled to use the house for free?

A bunch of years ago I made several hundred thousand dollars from the App Store. You know how much I would have made without the app store? Zero. Do you think I begrudge the 30% I paid, any more than I begrudge the rent I pay for this house?

I understand people who dislike the Apple walled garden and want no part of it. I do not understand people who want all of the benefits but expect Apple to provide it for free.
I've been waiting for a Theranos post to dredge something up. On a very early Theranos post in 2013, there was a commenter who identified the company as a scam several years early. Naturally, they received minimal attention. Interestingly, though, it was the only comment they ever made. I've wondered if it was a disgruntled insider wanting the truth to come out.

I do think so. The motivation of the person stating the theory is entirely irrelevant to the correctness of the theory. Bringing it up is nothing but an attempt to disparage the theory by illegitimate means.
"The so-called ‘psychotically depressed’ person who tries to kill herself doesn’t do so out of quote ‘hopelessness’ or any abstract conviction that life’s assets and debits do not square. And surely not because death seems suddenly appealing. The person in whom Its invisible agony reaches a certain unendurable level will kill herself the same way a trapped person will eventually jump from the window of a burning high-rise. Make no mistake about people who leap from burning windows. Their terror of falling from a great height is still just as great as it would be for you or me standing speculatively at the same window just checking out the view; i.e. the fear of falling remains a constant. The variable here is the other terror, the fire’s flames: when the flames get close enough, falling to death becomes the slightly less terrible of two terrors. It’s not desiring the fall; it’s terror of the flames. And yet nobody down on the sidewalk, looking up and yelling ‘Don’t!’ and ‘Hang on!’, can understand the jump. Not really. You’d have to have personally been trapped and felt flames to really understand a terror way beyond falling."

- David Foster Wallace
yes, they are just better are managing their industry incentives, and have better regulation that cap profits and cause the 20pct investment back in R&D the top comment mentioned.

Perhaps you could elaborate rather than make snide remarks…?

Your post sounds like an ad hominem, but I’m not understanding why — both of the individuals have millions of viewers; Kim Iverson is reporting from The Hill, a news organization.
If you're on Fios, there's an issue between checksum offloading on Intel NICs and the ONTs that Fios uses. The workaround is to disable checksum offloading.

If not, perhaps you forgot to apply TCP MSS clamping on v6. (An easy test for this is to set the MTU on your client machine to 1280.)
I read the book and also agree with this. She was the CEO, but he "ran" the company. He also put millions of his own money into it to keep it afloat. He should've been the "adult supervision", so to speak.
My 8 year old neighbor and I have been working on his website. He speaks French and wants to help other people learn French as well. He also attaches his own original artwork to the website. We hope you enjoy it!
She is much better looking than him. And pregnant. No bias at all.

Where are you seeing this?
> "It would certainly not be unprecedented if Balwani decides to appeal this ruling."

So, there's precedent for an appeal?
OMG! What were we all thinking! Thank you redox99 for figuring this out. Only now that you have pointed out this idea is it suddenly obvious.

But, since this is, you know, the entire internet, can you maybe write a more detailed specification?

So like, when my TCP stack creates a presumably backwards compatible IPv4 header, where does it put the extra 4 bytes? Or do we only send these IPv4+ packets to devices that we also know are IPv4+? If we add four bytes at the end of the IPv4 header, then when I send to 12.4.1.0.8.8.8.8, then the legacy server will read it as 8.8.8.8 and send my information to Google. That seems bad.

Or will we create a new IP header format? If so, how will we make sure that all the software on a given box understands the new format? How do we incrementally roll out these new applications, kernels, modules, etc, in such a way that we dont break the internet in interesting and fatal-for-real-people ways? Maybe we could deploy IPv4 and IPv4+ side-by-side, so that both are running, and so the new IPv4+ can fail with no risk to the IPv4 services?

How about parsing IP addresses. What if I send to 10.44321? This is a valid IP address. Are we going to say that the various short-hand representations only apply to IPv4, so you an't shorten 127.0.0.0.0.0.0.1 to 127.1? How will we handle scripts where the subnet is specified as /24 independently of the address, such that IPv4+ subnets will contain 32 billion IPs instead of 256? Or do you imagine that IPv4 and IPv4+ scripts must be kept separate?

I am looking forward to your specifications! While you are addressing all these issues, could we also look at expanding the number of ports available too? Also, what if IPv4+ used sixteen bytes, instead of eight?
I think there probably are people that get nervous and absolutely blank, that is bound to happen. As an interviewer, what can you really do in those situations? Also to note that looking up documentation is perfectly fine, and I explain that as well. As for others, I think some people graduate out of writing code when they become senior, or something similar. But we make it very clear that senior/lead engineers are primarily writing code, so I don’t think it is a mismatch of expectations. Other people are genuinely overstating their skills and are no programmers. The incentive to lie is there, based on how much money a programmer can make.
I used to think Apple could be forced to play nice, and again and again that doesn’t seem to happen. The hammer never fell on their 30%, nor on Safari binding, nor on third party stores. And the funny thing is Google sees that and just goes the same direction, so if tomorrow Apple goes south it’s not like Google would rise as a bastion of vertue.

The question could be less if Apple should be trusted, and more if phone makers in general should be allowed to be dictators.
Isn't inflation caused by the war in Ukraine and the hangover from covid.

Sure someone's making more money, but that happens if prices go up.

>it doesn't "add money to the system, increasing inflation"

It does. Where the money is directed matters. If you spend 1k on computers you push up demand. If you spend 1k researching/building a machine to make computers more efficiently, you can lower the price of computers long term. Yes practically speaking the market trends to sort that out. But new industries often need help to get to a competitive level eg wind turbines and solar, until not so long ago.

That being said, as the inflation is essentially imported, to my mind it's still an open question whether printing money to help in the short term is a net bad thing.
What kind of computers did you get to keep? M-based Mac’s?
His suffering is over, but that of his wife & daughter has just begun. My heart breaks for them.
I read the book and I disagree.

Ultimately creating a toxic work environment is not why they are going to jail, but for deceiving the public, and investors. Holmes (the person playing Steve Jobs) lead that.

I have little doubt that if the genders were reversed that Holmes sentence could be easily twice Sunny's.
No, Google gets a cut for purchases through the Google Play Store.

Google does not take a cut if you use an alternative app store (which isn't possible on iOS)
Ah thanks. Never saw this. I read that post as almost "deplatforming doesn't work" (a statement I tend to agree with) but I guess the word "more" implies they support deplatforming AS WELL AS other things. Interesting.

I would kind of hope Mozilla sees themselves as neutral carriers. Maybe that's not the case. Still better than Google though.

> they wish they were able to deplatform kiwi farms from tor but it’s technically not possible.

Well, then they built it correctly!

It seems to me people like this want technological solutions to problems rooted in culture and economics. I think the best solution is don't stop people from saying bad things, instead teach others to know when not to listen to the bad things. I guess it's a new phase of humanity though...Dunbar's number might not be changing, but who's in a person's circle is now wildly distributed. I'm not sure of a great solution to people believing birds aren't real or that Qanon isn't a pimply teenager on 4chan, but banning morons from Twitter isn't a real solution. Interesting times.
My guess about the use of lua would be simply because he don't want to commit it to pandoc yet. If you push it to pandoc, it's next to impossible to remove it, or change its behavior in a backward incompatible way.

So naturally, since the embedded lua is expanding its functionality over the years, including the ability to write custom writer and reader, this is the way to be able to tap into pandoc without committing. Tapping into pandoc is important here, as the community who likely will provide feedbacks and insights are there.

I'll bet eventually when it becomes mature, a native Haskell implementation will comes.
Probably not, because Apple doesn’t keep track centrally of which features you have enabled on which device, so they simply prevent you from activating the new feature when you have any signed-in device with an older OS version (which is something they do track).
Any new start nuclear plant today would likely be more expensive than renewables + storage (to combine to produce equivalent sythentic baseload) by the time the nuclear plant could come online. I don't think there's any window left for new nuclear plants to make sense, unless their cost can be radically reduced.
For some use cases, copper-foil adhesive tape can be bought relatively cheaply.

I've applied it to some frequently-wet surfaces to successfully prevent microbial growth that previously had to be sanitized on a regular basis.

The adhesive keeps keeps it watertight to the surface, but the stuff I got could also be peeled off without residue. Because it's copper, it does develop a patina and leach green copper oxide onto towels when wiped. Brass tape may be a less-corrosive alternative.

People also use it for EM shielding, eg around electric guitar pickups.
I like quantum computers.
well deserved!
my bet too.

they will just open an office at 1209 North Orange Street. Wilmington, Delaware.
Oddly that was that account's only comment and they never commented again in the 9 years since.
Ian Fleming described James Bond’s breakfast with egg and bacon in the hotel, in a way that it makes you feel you are there. I am proud to have Flemming as my last name.
OP mentioned he is in the ChatGPT discord already. But the link is https://discord.com/channels/974519864045756446/

Searching twitter for chatgpt or gpt and sorting by "latest" seems to bring up a fair amount of discussion. I expected HN to light up with insane number of posts and conversation on chatgpt but to my surprise that has not been the case. There has only been a handful of posts in the last 7 days that made it to the front page.

Using chatgpt feels like discovering the internet again or bitcoin. Potentially the same level of disruption or more.
Holy moly, This is great I'm going to have a play with this as soon as I can get beebem up and running.
> blind devotion is dangerous

We aren’t talking about blind devotion, though, are we?

We have a tangible actual important thing. Apple can’t plumb our backup data for their own profit.

You want to be careful not to ignore information just because it doesn’t comport with your preconceived assumptions. At least consider weighing them against your assumptions? I’m never going to be against a cookie-based metaphor, but that doesn’t make it apt.
That’s not a fair comparison. This is generating ATP directly, rather extracting sugars and whatnot the plant, most of which is indigestible waste, so it’s not like you’d need the surface area of 14 kg of grass.

The real problem is that you need hemispherical hairless cows. ;)
And still, wifi links are among the top sources of packet loss. Without sophisticated forward error correction it would probably be much worse, but it shows that this is not an either-or question. The correct answer is: do both.
They did say "low level programming backend job". At least a large subset of what they mentioned should be common knowledge then.
If you run an ISP, chances are 100% that people will use it to feed their pornography and gambling addictions. That ISP will be in the business of ruining lives. Does that make running an ISP am immoral occupation?
I think this is the part that is not legal, and which they say the don't do, etc

* Amazon uses third-party seller data to copy the site's most popular products, an antitrust report by the House Judiciary Committee alleged on Wednesday.

* Former Amazon sellers told an antitrust subcommittee the company released new products almost identical to their own and "killed" their sales.

* Amazon has denied accusations of this behavior in the past.
"We have a policy against using seller-specific data to aid our private-label business," Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos said in July.

>In Java 20, MemorySegment::address returns a raw memory address in the form of a long rather than a MemoryAddress object

So the API assumes pointers can't be larger than 64 bit?
That would be a terrible idea.

If everyone is using the same file on iCloud, then by definition the file must be encrypted with the same E2E encryption key.

That seems ripe for buggy disaster, and is a big loss of privacy. With enough phones, you could decrypt a large percentage of other peoples data.
I've had IPv6 at my home for at least 10 years I would say.

My parents do as well.

I was recently surprised that ssh to my dual stack private server didn't connect at work. It turned out I had set up the config file as V6 only.

The irony of bypassing the paywall to an article talking about publications dying and how hard it is for publications to make money.
Part of the point of le Carré is that the stakes aren't clear, and whatever they are, they're often not worth the shoddy business the Circus constantly involves itself in. The Cold War is a looming cataclysm, of course, but these fucking spies are just running around immiserating people in the (probably ill-founded) hopes that they're making the world in any way better, when really all they're doing is picking which organized crime family gets to run the heroin business in Laos.

The work Smiley does might be incredibly important, or it might not be. He himself grapples with that ambiguity (and with his oscillating affiliation with the Circus), which is part of what drives the narrative.

So the answer to your question here is basically like asking "who's the murderer" in an Agatha Christie book.
> Tesla’s attempt to improve recruitment and retention by increasing pay for new staff also backfired, as longer-term employees were being paid less than employees who had just arrived doing the same jobs with similar qualifications.

Well, at least one of their problems is the same as every other tech company. Lack of fire alarms is on another level, though!
That mistake was already baked in to the sockaddr_t ABI.
I have no doubt there's an internal application running on a Novell server somewhere that we'll never hear about. It's still running on a machine in a closet just like it was in 1997, or possibly imaged and migrated to a VM because nobody wanted to touch it.
There are viable transition mechanisms other than dual stack, that put some kind of translation layer between protocols, rather than expect native IPv4 connectivity on all hosts.

This is perfectly viable, and is how many mobile networks handle IPv4 (ie. there is no native IPv4 on the handset at all), and how many cloud providers are handling it these days too. You have to do NAT at the border anyway, why not NAT to/from an IPv6 address?

The adoption problem doesn't have that much to do with the technology, it's simply that it provides little value to most individual entities participating in the network, even if the benefit in aggregate is clear, so it's difficult to achieve the critical mass to make it valuable. It's the same thing behind climate change and so many other societal issues.
I also have IPv6 on Verizon Wireless. (I don’t know the details of how it connects to IPv4-only hosts.)
I loved the timing restriction. So bad I can end up working on unusual hours sometimes, or I'd consider doing the same.
IPv6 adoption is growing at 5% per year and is currently around 40% https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html

I expect as we get closer to the end we will see it pick up speed. Countries are now mandating IPv6 support as early as this month https://www.indiatimes.com/technology/news/india-sets-new-de...

Things are still moving forward, faster than ever at this point.
>We finally have the new technology making it possible! :-s

It also double dips on the pain inflicted, but pushing the market price for that Bair fish higher than it would be if not for the market pressure imposed by this alternative bait use case.

closest thing is probably R&D at big companies, hence why so many academics joined Facebook, Google, etc. at least for computer science and AI related stuff
Thanks! I haven’t watched in years - much like the Simpsons the early seasons were better (IMHO)
Sure they can create routers with more space for the routing table but you still have to replace all the old ones which isn't cheap.

A single port of a router at an internet exchange can reach more than 1000 different routers. A router has to decide to which IP it should forward a packet not just the port.
> Why are you wasting your time and someone else if you think they might be an idiot?

Because I need to hire someone competent. And idiots can (and do) still write good-looking resumes (or get someone else to write it for them).
i observed quite late, that the views expressed on HN do not represent the real world views. Its not a proxy or a petri dish for new ideas.

My experience from discussions both with technical experts and non-technical layman views suggest a very low co-relation with views expressed on HN. Try it yourself, discuss some top HN posts with experts and non-experts and compare.

So i look at HN as a lopsided subset. This has 2 outcomes, on one hand, it is depressing to spend more than a few minutes a week here, and on the other hand, the real world has parts which are less so.
>You are correct, and it means black holes can never actually form, because it would take an infinite amount of time for them to form.

This is incorrect. They necessarily do not have an event horizon that light cannot escape until they are a black hole, so as they have finished forming into one by the time we can no longer observe past the event horizon. We can also still witness the black hole growing even after that point. [1]

> If I don’t like what Apple does with photos, I can move to Google Photos

I can’t. I don’t use Apple Photos, and I can’t set Google Photos as the default photo handler, nor default source or destination, nor tell any iOS device to never save photos in Apple’s silo.

> If I don’t like what Apple does with iCloud, I can move to Dropbox.

I can’t either. I wanted to backup my phone elsewhere and there is no option outside of iCloud.

How have you hacked your system and how long will you be able to?
> You'd note a restriction of movement -- "up" (away from the black hole) is no longer a possibility; every direction is some variation of down, perhaps down and to the left, down and east, whatever, but always down.

You'd notice if you were doing calculations as you fell. Locally, nothing particularly special happens at the event horizon, as far as I understand; just, past that point, all future directions lead to the centre of the black hole. (Plenty of past directions still point outwards, so you wouldn't even see anything particularly special unless you were paying close attention to, say, the apparent shape of the black hole.)
This is just a way to get people to buy Windows smartphones! You can't fool me!
