> There should be a law against that sort of thing, for hardware that you fully paid for.

So, if Apple were to say you didn’t fully pay for the hardware, it would be OK?
Follow-up: With fresh eyes today, i disagree with the statement I wrote. I was definitely wrong, my bad.
Is no one commenting for fear of being harassed?
> The problem that engineers have with it is that it does make things slower.

The problem I've seen is that formal agile processes substantially reduce individual engineers' autonomy—slowing everything down seems more a symptom than the core problem. (Of course, it's ultimately the symptoms that kill the patient, right?)

Coordination is both important and difficult, but a process oriented around tracking and directing individuals at a bite-sized-ticket level is not a necessary, sufficient or even particularly effective solution. It's an abstraction to make work legible in the worst way: it's restrictive to the people doing the work, encourages unhealthy patterns of top-down management, poorly reflects the ground truth while still giving managers the illusion of detailed understanding and control.
The CSAM thing did irreparable damage to Apple’s reputation. We foolishly trusted them as benevolent dictators of the walled garden. They demonstrated why that can’t work. Everyone is fallible, nobody deserves absolute trust.
Understood. My own personal take-away, is that even with all the digging those folks have done it is not possible to know what Apple is actually doing. Which kind of reinforces your original point in the comment that I was responding to.
> I genuinely don’t see any link between a bomb going off and a privacy protocol used to move financial assets.

The link is explained in the post: in both instances, a human is the prime mover. No court in the world draws a distinction between "Joe kills Bob" and "Joe builds a Bob-killing robot that kills Bob." Similarly, no court in the world is likely to draw a distinction between "North Korea launders money" and "North Korea uses an autonomous program to launder money." It simply isn't relevant.

> Similarly, merely using a technique to obfuscate the origin of my own money is not enough to claim I am a criminal. I can do similar with gold coins and paper cash, and in high dollar amounts.

To be clear: if attempt to obfuscate your cash transactions by structuring them beneath the limits that trigger CTR reporting, you're committing a crime. You can have reasonable opinions about whether that ought to be a crime, but it is absolutely not legal in the current regulatory scheme to intentionally avoid your reporting requirements.

> Acting like Tornado itself is enabling crime is absurd.

We have a precise, material example of Tornado enabling a specific crime. That crime is the reason it's on the OFAC list, and it's stated in clear, precise language on the Treasury's site. Again: you can claim that Tornado is an instrument, and anything can be used to commit crime, but it is a matter of fact that Tornado was both used to commit crimes and made committing those crimes easier than they otherwise would have been (by sidestepping financial regulatory frameworks).

Very much disagree. Well-run, minimal Agile is an amazing way to organize, see, plan, and go fast.

There’s a lot of gripers who don’t like feeling managed and attack it with all sorts of false criticism though. And of course, poorly-run Agile can be pretty annoying.

The key is to keep things minimal and fast: quick stand-ups, and as few meetings as needed. Who is leading it definitely matters too. Ideally it is a lead developer rather than a “product” or “project” person, IMO.
Resolution will be worse.

Age ought to be better unless you got very lucky that a plane just flew over and the footage was uploaded very fast afterwards.
Does anybody of a way to play text adventure games on your phone using text to speech and audio only? Last time I looked for something that did this I couldn't find anything. Seems like there should be a demand for it.
Or more broadly, rogue-likes.

My favourites are definitely Nethack and DCSS (aka crawl). I would also like to try Cogmind (but it's unfortunately Windows-only), and maybe Dwarf Fortress. Other noteworthy titles are ADOM and Moria/Angband.

There's a lot going on these days in this genre that kinda departs from some of the core ideas of a roguelike, the term "roguelite" is sometimes used. It's a fun rabbit hole to go down into, lots of really good games.
The filter will clog.

Running an arbitrary thing in Docker is far easier than without it. If I want to run the PHP/MySQL-based Matomo, I can just grab the ready-made docker-compose.yml [0] and tell my main nginx to proxy_pass onto it. I don’t need to figure out how to configure MySQL/MariaDB/PHP-FPM and what hacks did my distro introduce to it (at least I’m not using Debian/Ubuntu, so there shouldn’t be that many). Similarly, I can get Zulip in Docker [1] (even if it’s apparently in alpha state) and not mess with the Python packaging trainwreck, and also setting up all of Redis, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ and memcached.

Apple isn't creating neural hashes for CSAM detection, as they'd have to be in possession of source material to create them, so they're getting them from someone else. Since it's indistinguishable in it's hash form, when the supplier becomes interested in looking for something else, nobody will ever know.
I didn't have the courage to do it. Bonus points that it starts with "hehe" LOL
> With that said I can still use Windows without a Microsoft account.

It sounds like you may not realize that you have never needed an Apple account (i.e. an Apple ID, which might call an "iCloud account") to use macOS. No magic tricks are required, although some Apple services will naturally not be avaiable.
Or you live outside of USA and there is no store that has X files dvds. Also no streaming service offers that here. Also due to copyright and region locking, I cannot import them from USA.

But somehow if I pirate that, i cause them 'damage'.

Luckily on most sites, pirated videos have keywords in filename (720p, 1080p, 4k,... x264, x265,... ) so you can see the quality and choose what filetype you want/need.

That is true, but accidents at higher speed are more destructive/expensive. Mercedes can afford to pay for many dented cars, but at higher speeds (more) people die.

You're asumming the final number id managed by a sole number. Maybe there a "size" value and a "quantity" value.

An example would be a float representing the final magnitude over the base magnitude (i.e. thousands of dollars), and the base quantity of thosands of dollars an unsinged 16bit integer.

It would be a commonly considered weird approach (you could/should use Decimal types for money), but hey, the final number is strangely near to be such a typical number (2^16).

PS: Like a sibling suggested, other hypothesis is that maybe it was something akin to a bare napkin calculation/decision made by humans (with human errors) eventually digitalized.
Latest unofficial statistics from Infinlandia.

10000 vaccine damages.

5 vaccine deaths for young, prominently sporty males.

3 covid deaths for people under 50.

0 (zero) covid deaths for non-obese healthy people under 50.

Addendum: There is now 3000 annual "mystery deaths" more. Experts of Twitter disagree if this because of unpopularity of the 4th booster, or because of popularity (90%) of shots 1-3.
The Tesla switched fucking lanes. You're can't fault someone in the second lane for not predicting some asshole will cut them off and slam on the brakes. The robot is a laughably bad driver. If a human had the collective record of either Autopilot or FSD they'd be uninsurable and have long ago lost their license.

You're not making a good case for Tesla. Maybe the best thing to do is to not buy a Tesla in the first place.
>so they're getting them from someone else

Is there any evidence they even do neural hash CSAM detection?
> When a Tesla murdered a man by slamming him into a highway barrier, the fact his phone had run Candy Crush at some point during the drive was dragged out against him.

Look, I know this is a trope that people like to bring up a lot when hating on tesla. However, you have to consider a two points.

* This happened in 2019, 4 years ago. Quiet a bit of development has gone into telsa's autopilot stack since then.

* The car was going 70MPH. Mercedes's system only works up to 40MPH. For good reason. A telsa keeping the lane at 40MPH is fairly safe.

These are not "miles ahead" systems, they are comparable.

Now, what I'm not saying is whether one system is better/safer than the other. IDK because mercedes hasn't released their yet (I suspect you don't either).

Mercedes being the "first" to apply for this in NV doesn't really mean a whole lot to me. The fact that they are limiting it to low speeds (40MPH) where a wreck will pretty much just be a fender bender should also tell you something about how confident they are in the system.

Tesla has been reckless with the way they've managed their autopilot program. No doubt about that. They've also lied about being able to turn their cars into robotaxis (not a chance of that happening). However, their system is fairly comparable to what Mercedes is doing.

Looking at the hardware Mercades is putting in the cars, the main difference is the forward facing LIDAR. That gives Merc an edge that telsa doesn't have, they can pretty confidently handle things like underpasses (where telsa STILL struggles and is a major issue with their hardware stack).

My main critique of tesla is their hardware stack and dogged approach here to keeping it cheap (not enough redundancy, poor cameras). But that doesn't mean it's not still in a pretty similar league compared to merc.

> [edit2] Are you not reading what I'm saying? Nobody is advocating for a 100% nuclear grid. I am advocating for a mixed grid of renewables and nuclear where each operates according to its optimal utility function.

The point was illustrative. We already have nuclear, the only point of advocating nuclear is if you want to increase it. Unfortunately, a 35% nuclear grid costs more per kWh than a 30% nuclear grid, and I don’t think most nuclear advocates understand why.

Your 50 MW/200 MWh numbers are basically what it costs for a 100% solar grid. So it’s not even clear if any nuclear would be cost effective in most areas. Alaska and Russia clearly can benefit from nuclear power, it’s not obvious if California, Texas etc will.
a) Most likely people who would ruin your business by returning stuff

b) Hence a policy to ward off this kind of clients. Why bother selling if you will have the item back - with the costs of restocking, processing, dumping or relisting, cleaning, etc?

c) I don't think so. Here in NZ and Australia very few places offer a return policy for change of mind - and most places are online outlets. IF you buy something on the street be prepared to have the option to exchange only.
People pretend like competition is some magic thing that could crop up, and not a thing that requires constant regulation to prevent companies from engaging in anti-competitive behavior. Every company is incentivized to engage in anti-competitive behavior. If you want more competition, they need to be strictly regulated.
> Not really. Nobody ever wants power generation in their backyard. Doesn't matter if it's dangerous nuclear or polluting fossil fuel or eye-sore wind. The answer is always one of the same two options: do it anyway, or put it in someone else's backyard.

This is what I responded to. It sounds pretty absolute to me.

>Even after purchase Apple believes it is entitled to collect data from someone else's computer, over someone else's network.

They are collecting data on how their software in used. Also this article is talking about a visual search feature that uses Apple's servers to search for things in your images. Apple is just as much entitiled to do this as a multiplayer game connecting to game servers. You choose to use the software and you choose to permit it onto your network.

Do not let Apple off the hook. This must be removed.

This functionality will be used in other global jurisdictions to clamp down on freedom. In a world where we cede more control and increasingly subjugate ourselves, it's only a matter of time before it's used against us too.

Say no to monitoring.
Hey you’re misquoting me. I’m no Tesla apologist actually looking to get rid of it but this is the way you live with Autopilot. I’m done with Musk and his hypocrisy. All I’m saying is that everyone and their neighbor now drive Teslas but don’t have a mechanical sense for what lane keeping assist is.
Why does Ruby not have similar problems? (Or if it does, why does nobody seem to care?)

Like why does Ruby have gem and bundler, each doing one thing, whereas python has fifty bazillion tools that all do nearly the same thing if you squint but all have their own weird problems?

I've personally just ended up using poetry and that has mostly stopped me from having to care overmuch about the tooling.

I feel like I'm spoiled coming from Java land, where aside from too much XML, maven just works and if you need to do weird shit (like if you're android, for instance) then you use gradle, which still doesn't fuck up the maven repository format and we can all just live happily. (And nobody uses Ant anymore).

I see this is Windows only, but I don't fully understand what this is. The results are just images, and not a speedup. Has it not been possible to use AMD hardware for SD on windows before this?
I also regularly question the value of “project” and “product” managers.

However I have noticed that when that figurehead person is missing the meetings and goals quickly disassemble.

In my experience the best leader of Agile or Scrum is always a lead developer, instead of a dedicated “project” or “product” person.
Amazon affiliates referral payments are based on the last referrer within 24hours of an order. Eg, you can click an affiliate link, not buy the item and then buy something unrelated 12 hours later and the affiliate will still get the commission. (As long as you didn’t click a different affiliate’s link).
Yeah that's right but it was introduced in Swift because of legacy Objective-C code.
Also just to be clear - Mercedes also has a system that operates in almost any conditions and up to 120mph, the system in question here that got certified as Level 3 is specifically up to 40mph where Mercedes accepts legal liability. You can still use their advanced cruise control systems above that but Mercedes won't accept legal responsibility and you have to pay full attention(same as in a Tesla).
You would think that, but the article text says otherwise:

> the median income of taxpayers who left San Francisco would probably have been around $250,000.

I haven't used Apple in 5-8 years. I prefer to build my desktops and don't use my phone much, so Android is sufficient.

Frankly, I do not understand the disdain for Apple. They built their stack. That should be admired. Also, it's one ecosystem in the market.

Don't like it? Buy something else.
> they literally mean you only need to be awake and able to take over in 10 seconds.

When I hear that, I immediately think of this 2016 study[0]. A ten-second window is not a sufficient window to take control. At that point, you don’t have enough situational awareness to be at the level of a drunk driver, let alone to be a competent driver. Any system that expects inhuman levels of focus and context switching is not a well-designed system.

I can't speak to C1 specifically, but scrum masters ARE useful in some scenarios, while in others they are totally useless.

Where I've seen them provide huge value is in an organzation transitioning to agile, where the product manager/owner is more on the side of waterfall/sales, making unreasonable demands. The scrum master is the one who pushes back against this and "protects" the devs, and basically ensures that sprints run smoothly. Especially if you have thousands of developers transitioning to agile, hiring scrum masters that can each associate with 5-10 teams can make a huge difference.

On the other hand, if you have competent PM's (or even just eng team leads) who themselves serve as the buffer between the dev team and the rest of the org (sales, VP's, etc.) and who already know how to do agile, then yes, scrum master is entirely redundant.

But to be clear, leading agile isn't about reminding about Fibonacci numbers. In an inexperienced team, if one dev picks a different number, there's often peer pressure to just "change their number" instead of discussing the sources of disagreement, which is the actual purpose of planning poker. And there are a ton of situations like these where both devs and a PM might want to "play pretend" at agile rather than actually rigorously questioning requirements, negotiating better requirements with owners, and relentlessly surfacing blockers. So leading agile requires both real knowledge of the process as well as the courage to stand up against owners, groupthink and peer pressure.
No, because we happen to not be computer programs (or I hope so at least).
My vast nostalgia for Infocom games--and the vast care and effort that went into those games--notwithstanding, they were written using 40 year old tech to run on machines that, at least initially, might have had a floppy disk and maybe 64K of memory (or less). Yes, they're more playable than a lot of graphics games of the time would be today, but they're from a different age.

Still dip into them every now and then though :-)
