Yes, you can prevent it -- if you decline permission, the app in question won't have access to the requested permission.

This was introduced in macOS Catalina (10.15), released in early October 2019. It's nothing new -- Discord are just useless at explaining it.

The permission in question is needed for any app that wants to read from things varying from keystrokes to your Contacts, or even full disk access (for reading your personal folders).

Any app requiring said permissions prior to Catalina would have to accept this, and if permission isn't given, access to the required resource isn't granted -- simple.
I think that the passion that is often sought in hiring candidates is slightly misguided. It's not uncommon to hear that the employer is looking for passionate $language engineers. Although this approach could be helpful in the short term, it's less helpful for the long term. Why? Because organizations and teams generally don't stay on the same technology stack for the long term. And what happens when the particular technology that someone is passionate about is phased out? Instead, I think it's more rational to be passionate about solving certain kinds of problems (not related to a specific language). The other potential downside of passionate developers is that being passionate can make one less objective. I would even argue that the engineering approach would favor dispassionate developers where they're more likely to be objective. FWIW.
Means of discovery like Google Shopping? They are getting more into the intermediation also, where do you draw the line?
Curious how they determined this was a DDR made transmitter, and not Soviet (or Czech, etc.)
Bitwarden is one if those things that seem too good to be true. That being said, I’m a loyal user.
You can duplicate the totp too. Either save the initial seed generated by the site(s), or depending on the app it may provide a way to export the seeds.

You don't go through the setup process on the sites again. The sites have no knowledge that you have 1 or 21 new totp apps set up. You just enter the saved seed keys into the app and it starts spitting out the same correct codes as the other apps you already had setup.

Gnome authenticator can export a json file containing the keys to all the sites you have in it. You can then take those (just manually read them in a text editor), and enter them into Google Authenticator on a phone, and now you have 2 working authenticator apps, both spitting out the same correct codes every 30 seconds.

Further, you take that same json and paste it into a note in a keepass record, or save the individual seed keys in individual site entries just like the passwords, and copy that keepass db file all over the place including cloud drives, and including places you can access without the totp.

Now you can reproduce a working authenticator from scratch on any device at any time no matter where you are and no matter what happens to your phone or laptop. Buy a brand new phone or laptop, have a way to get a copy of your keepass db without needing the totp app, and in a couple minutes you have a working totp app again.

You never really have to even use the single-use emergency bypass codes. Keeping copies of the initial setup seeds is really no different from keeping copies of the emergency codes, but the setup seeds reproduce a fully working app not just a one-time access to a site.

And even if some app doesn't provide an export like gnome authenticator, you can also just record the key the first time it is generated instead of just scanning the qr code. Once you've saved it, you can use it as many times as you want.
Does MacOS not allow you to request a specific hotkey? It doesn't appear so. Which means an app that wants to listen for a global hotkey it has to spy on every keystroke.

Discord doesn't have a choice if that's the case. Blame Apple for not providing a sane API.
I was very fortunate to marry someone who thinks the same way.

That is incredible. I mean, seriously that is probably the best thing going for you.

I anticipate that if this goes well I can build a small town someday.

Well that is quite a large project. That's a bit bigger than homesteading. There are videos on Youtube of people building out small ISP's and showing all the challenges they had. I wish you luck on your project. I can envision the obstacles you will face but it sounds like you are the right person to do it and being on HN I can only assume you will research every step of the way to avoid the money pits and mazes of regulations. I hope you make a video log of everything but wait until it is done to publish it to avoid the Youtube griefers and nay-sayers.
Its not FOSS, and they rely on subscriptions. Call me a hardliner, but that's two non-negotiable things when it comes to nice-to-have software for me personally.

If they created an open source version I could self-host, I would happily adopt it. Frankly it looks beautiful and is only missing easy file integration. But they don't because it would cause them to lose a vast source of value they provide to their customers (providing proxies and servers for people to access their data remotely).
> Honestly, it's been damn near impossible to scam someone via eBay (as a seller, at least) since around 2008, when they introduced mandatory PayPal payments by default. Managed Payments (rolled out during the pandemic) makes it even harder to scam as a seller.

This seems like a fairly important facet of this discussion.
Please report back in a year with a new thread :-)

Best of luck!
> It's already illegal to hire illegal aliens. Why will REAL ID change anything in that regard?

It's hard to enforce that when there's no easy way to prove someone isn't in the country legally.

If you're using a DFS frequency and the device notices it needs to change frequency because a primary user transmits the Unifi console will log DFS events in the notification area. It won't emit any notifications if you're not using a DFS channel.
> Why on earth would you sabotage the electrical grid to disrupt LGBT events? Why don’t they have a thread for Americas numerous foreign enemies? Is that not a possibility?

What on earth would a 'foreign enemy' have to gain from a local electrical grid attack in the US, Mr McCarthy? Against the risk of getting discovered and thus sanctioned/invaded/whatever, disrupting a town's electricity supply for a few days doesn't make any sense, even for Putin's Russia.

Now we are trying to be productive even in boredom.
Let us suck the life out of everything.
While we are at, just invent something that let us work when we are asleep.

I know I'm being hard, but I can't help feeling nauseated by this mindset of "reaping" something out of everything and everywhere.
Amazon uses Whole Foods for returns. Apple can push to all your devices for MFA. Imagine the impact on perception of google customer service if they deployed support kiosks to grocery stores.
They are in the app.
Tying commercial account unlocks to governments feels like a terrible idea.
Yes, companies which have real customer service will in theory have a competitive advantage over companies which have a voice response system that hangs up on the customer.

What often happens though, is that consumers go with the lowest price above all other considerations. Then they get the hard lesson in "you get what you pay for."

It's the same reason that air travel is so awful. You'd think that one or more of the airlines would compete on comfort and service, but that's impossible when travelers go to Expedia and overwhelmingly pick the flight with the lowest price.

I personally don't pay rock bottom for insurance, and I have an agent I can call and talk to without any intervening voice menus. A human in a local office answers the phone.
How the next 'supercontinent' will form
Two things can be true:

1. This is for Push to Talk (PTT), and is not meant maliciously.

2. It's not good that an app is asking for this permission.

For #2, I'm not sure, but think the issue might be that Apple's system doesn't allow for sufficiently fine-grained permissions. Certainly that has been a repeated problem for other apps, as Apple has tried to improve end-user security.

Binding a hot-key to an action shouldn't require knowing anything about the stream of characters that a user is typing. But when the permission model isn't specific enough, that's what you get.

I think Apple's approach is mostly good (being able to listen to keystrokes without permission is very bad), but it has some costs.
Eating insects can be good for you
That is funny. The phrases "things you swear by" and "things you swear at" sound very similar but have entirely different meanings.
The "nom" is your clue that the word has do to with names or labels. Nominally (in name only), denomination (the label giving the value), nominate (to be named to a position), etc. I think even "number" (a label for a quantity) and "name" come from the same root.

It follows that a misnomer is a "bad name," usually stemming from a misunderstanding about an origin. E.g., a firefly isn't a fly, a peanut isn't a nut, a starfish isn't a fish, a shooting star isn't a star, etc.
It's literally not forced. It's asked as default to enable the PTT functionality.

They /could/ wait to make that request only after someone chooses the PTT option, but given they don't even communicate properly about why this dialog appears -- over 3 years after its introduction -- it's unlikely they're going to change it.

Would you rather they remove PTT functionality (which can reduce accessibility for some users), or that macOS didn't have such fine permissions? -- because that's the only way you're going to have that dialog go away...

If you don't trust the app or the "supply chain," don't use it. There are plenty FLOSS apps out there which have completely free client- and server-side source code you can review at your leisure, nobody is "forcing" you to use Discord.
One can enjoy something, but at times rather be doing other things.

Same reason that the set of people who go to protests about drag queen story hours happens to overlap with the set of people who protest about vaccine conspiracy theories and mask mandates, and happens to overlap with the set of people who are especially nationalist etc. Perhaps it just seems like satire because you have not given much thought to political radicalism in the last few years.

It's nothing to do with full-screen apps though -- it's specifically pertaining to PTT functionality for voice.
This feels huge for some reason.
No surprise here, people have been doing this for a long time, and tinder and others used bots to engage with people early on.

Businesses just ask for a social security number, and a random one is provided.

So they can plead ignorance.
> The benefits to children are nearly zero, while there is some risk. I am still unclear why a medical treatment emergency use exemption was extended to low risk of mortality age groups.

The question of which of these "nearly zeros" is smaller, no? A risk of 8 in 13M is still very small, and could easily be an order of magnitude smaller than the risk of death in this age group.
I'd expect googles pdf viewer to be comparable to others using well established libraries, such as poppler and mupdf.
That’s an interesting business direction to attempt — it’s not as if Apple’s linker is lacking in any particularly obvious way.
The high-volume requirements sort of kill the intent of the bill, since scammers will just jump to new profiles once they've hit certain thresholds.

I assume 3P "mule" accounts will become a thing too, with individuals recruited, or their PII stolen and used, to act as the seller.
like apple’s incessant UX changes, and reliance on users for QA/Bugs (vs actually QA-ing their junk before launch)… Freeform is another useless attempt at replacing existing tools in the space that actually work. band wagon, meet coat-tails.
That's all semantics, we can't say "Capitalism is when the system does good things, and Corporatism is when it does bad things", the difference is not meaningful since Capitalism leads to/is Corporatism.
I can't believe this "conspiracy theory" from two years ago is coming to fruition right before our eyes.
It won’t stop cash transactions, but it will hinder inter-state movement as generally give police an extra reason to detain somebody.
Yep, please do. It really helps getting a quick idea knowing what you'll get if you install and use.
can you see yourself making and releasing music again at some point?
I don't. Why would I? I can probably find it again. And if I can't, no biggie, there's always something else to deal with. And in the end it's online, offline is always more important.
I don’t necessarily think software should be free. Info think that it is beneficial for discovery and for use of the software itself is for free. Exactly for the reason you mention, the administrative burden of paying for a license. Having to understand what it means if I want to run the software on build servers/ci/cd. How do I get lelicense files there etc.

If it just works and I need to make sure I shell over the appropriate amount for our usecase it will already be easier.

If I need to pay up front to see how much real world gain we would get I am much likely not to do it. (Looking at you EE graalvm specifically now.)
OpenAI automatically drafts email responses in the background
That’s how I think about it. What’s the big deal really to lose things from the past? I still have way more of my personal history solidified in in recorded form than people of ages past. They managed just fine, I will too.
> This isn't because we don't like other languages, but our staff can only speak English, so there is no way of moderating posts in other languages.
Expected number of future infections goes down a bit, and risk of death conditional on a given number of infections goes down a lot.
Belarus will be invaded by Ukraine in a preemtive strike leading to a collapse of the regime there. In addition Russia will loose its grip on many neighbor countries leading to color revolutions in Turkmenistan, Usbekistan, Moldovia etc. This will force Russia to ask for peace in the war with Ukraine loosing all occupied territories.

After many Covid deaths China will see more protests over the year. To stabilize economy Xi Jinping will make some concessions to the people of China. Invasion of Taiwan will not happen in 2023.

The western countries will see a slight recession, because of energy crisis and reduction of business with autoritarian states ( Russia, China, Saudi Arabia ). But ultimatively the bitter medicine of 2022 and 2023 will lead to a strenghthening of the west as it will become less dependent on imports in general and energy imports specifically.

UK will seek to reverse Brexit.
So Twitter has at least the power to charge users, whereas Facebook is inherently so bad that willing users wouldn’t even let Facebook have their CC details…
In another comment you mentioned some ongoing work on a native back-end, how is the accessibility story going in this scenario?
This doesn't apply to Craigslist, it only applies to marketplaces (where the platform is in charge of collecting and distributing fees).

Regardless, for personal sellers the only required disclosure is country and state of operation.
Nice that the front-page reactionary sniping of Elon Musk’s mercurial decisions has died down, but yeah. Disappointing, willful ignorance.

The cold fact that 80% of Twitter was not essential (and that this must also apply to the federal government and other big/corrupt institutions) is not going away, though.
The problem is that there's zero law enforcement against corporation-vs-consumer fraud. Companies have noticed and are taking advantage of it (basic market pressures - if they don't, their competitor will).

Why make it easy for our customers to contact us (presumably to make a claim - ie the whole reason insurance products exist) when we can just pretend it's easy, collect money based on that lie and get away with it?
I WFH, so no commute. These temps are pretty normal for winter where I am.

I don't know what your situation is, but you'll honestly probably have good luck with just finding a regular outlet somewhere at work and trickle charging. I've done several vacations where I just asked where an outlet was, and left the car to charge up to 100% for the return trip. It's a lovely trick that gas cars can't duplicate.
What’s confusing about that?

* you sell new or unused products,

AND

* you have more than 200 transactions in any prior 12 month period within last two years,

AND

I have actually tried extracting my data from google and facebook, and neither methods worked. I tried multiple times, and the process breaks inevitably at some point.
That is the part that is false.

You will not win the same number of blocks per year, and fundamentally can’t, unless you have the same share of the overall mining hashpower that entire time.

Bitcoin literally could not work if that was not the case.

If your share of the hash power doubles, because your total hashes stayed the same but the overall hash power halved, you’ll ‘win’ twice as many blocks.

Changing difficulty does not change this.

Changing difficulty only changes how much hashpower is required (on average) to mine a block, and indirectly the number of blocks produced over over time, for a given hashpower.

Difficulty changes the odds of any given hash attempt winning. It does not change the odds you will find a winning hash before anyone else does. That is based on your proportion of the overall hash rate.

This is why there is such strong incentive to add more hashpower at lower per-hash price to mine Bitcoin. Because it increases individuals share of the overall hashrate, they end up mining more blocks, and they get more block rewards for it.

Less efficient hashers get less and less share of winning blocks as this happens, until it becomes uneconomic for them to hash at all.

If all miners dropped off (or 99%), blocks won’t keep getting mined every 5 minutes. They’ll take forever to mine until the network adjusts the difficulty, which takes awhile - 2016 blocks, to be precise.

In fact, with a sufficiently high hash rate setting a high difficulty, then dropping to a sufficiently low hash rate right after a difficulty adjustment, it might never adjust back, and it could be years or decades to mine the next block.
Some of them are very bright. It's worth remembering that grievances are often just proxies/decoys for people to network and organize around rather than genuine ends in themselves.
I really don't like the title of this submission. It is unnecessarily sensationalist. And why link to Vice.com when there is an open paper you can link to instead [1]?

Here is the abstract of that paper:

LiDAR coverage of a large contiguous area within the Mirador-Calakmul Karst Basin (MCKB) of northern Guatemala has identified a concentration of Preclassic Maya sites (ca. 1000 b.c.–a.d. 150) connected by causeways, forming a web of implied social, political, and economic interactions. This article is an introduction to one of the largest, contiguous, regional LiDAR studies published to date in the Maya Lowlands. More than 775 ancient Maya settlements are identified within the MCKB, and 189 more in the surrounding karstic ridge, which we condensed into 417 ancient cities, towns, and villages of at least six preliminary tiers based on surface area, volumetrics, and architectural configurations. Many tiered sites date to the Middle and Late Preclassic periods, as determined by archaeological testing, and volumetrics of contemporaneously constructed and/or occupied architecture with similar morphological characteristics. Monumental architecture, consistent architectural formats, specific site boundaries, water management/collection facilities, and 177 km of elevated Preclassic causeways suggest labor investments that defy organizational capabilities of lesser polities and potentially portray the strategies of governance in the Preclassic period. Settlement distributions, architectural continuities, chronological contemporaneity, and volumetric considerations of sites provide evidence for early centralized administrative and socio-economic strategies within a defined geographical region.

I’ve traveled to “car-free” world cities. I’ve traveled to “car-free” small towns. Having cars is just better.

It’s just a preference.

It’s super weird to me that this idea is catching on so fast. Do you know what day-to-day life is like in those areas? It’s expensive.

Probably because you can’t travel to competition.

And you’re absolutely renting anywhere “car-free.”

For a generation being screwed over by housing, some people sure are asking for it.
