No, not always. In my state, they have to compensate you with some minimum amount. I don’t know what that is, but based on my current contract, my guess is that it’s the equivalent of one week of pay.

(I’m fine with it because it’s a small, and not particularly interesting, industry. Plus, I’m in a DevOps role: none of our five or ten competitors are going give me a bag to have me build CI/CD pipelines.)
There's a lot of evidence to support this but it's not without problems.

Now a common scam is for someone to sell an iPhone and then report it stolen, getting a new one on insurance and pocketing the sale.

This is still an overall better situation of course.
> It is amazing how successful it has continued to be in spite of that.

It won’t be a popular opinion, but it is likely thanks to that. Oracle managed to hold onto almost the whole core team since the Sun times, which is very very rare in case of take overs.
Would be very appreciative if you shared this as well.
Before GOAL, they had GOOL, though (https://all-things-andy-gavin.com/2011/03/12/making-crash-ba...).
Current level is Staff but my promotion to Principal is just waiting on paperwork. (this is from a F2F with my skip who is a director level and it has already been presented and accepted in the 2 levels above them (VP and CTO))

I have been working as a developer for over 30 years.
At a previous company, I waited for ~5 years at Senior but due to shuffling started over with different bosses multiple times. I spent 1.5 years with the last boss and got passed over again (the company had weird rules about team composition and I missed out due to others getting promotions)

I left that job and stayed at Senior for ~1 year and then got bumped to Staff. Left after another year and started Staff at current company. Been here 1.5 years and like the first sentence indicated, I am on the cusp of Principal.

Thoughts about your situation:

Are you talking to your boss about your desire to move up?

What are they saying about what they want to see from you to get that promotion?

Do you have regular checkins to gauge your progress?

Are you given projects that let you demonstrate competence that warrants a promotion?

Does your company have a promotion ladder that matches your career goals? (e.g. I worked for a very long time at a company where the only thing above Senior is a management position.)

Is your current boss/supervisor 'weak' among their peers?

You need a boss that will:

1. give you good projects

2. get your name in the ear of their peers because your skip depends consensus from their directs for promotions and raises.

3. is tough enough to fight for a warranted promotion

So 'waiting' is the wrong way to phrase it, IMO. If you want it, you have work for it and play the game. Not that I think that playing the game is better than being good at your job and deserving of a bump. Depending on the company is most likely required.

Also remember that titles at different companies can differ wildly in scope and skill. I have interviewed candidates with high titles that were not level appropriate for our company. Likewise, my title might not fly at a different company.
Sure, but as soon as they remove it from their iCloud account that activation lock is removed. (yes, you can connect to wifi before you enter the password)

The only time this is not true is when the previous owner has intentionally marked the device lost or stolen in the find-my App/Site.

I think a lot of this backlash is recyclers getting stolen goods.

(Also, iCloud lock is bypassed if there is an MDM, like in a corporate setting- then the icloud lock can be remotely enabled/disabled by the organisations IT department)
People really did love "synergy" in the 90s.
The comment didn't need to mention it at all, especially considering that it was preceded by "I remember hearing." It didn't add anything to the point about security and it goes against the spirit of the site.
As a huge openbsd aficionado I don't think openbsd is more secure than any other operating system, or more correctly speaking, I think openbsd definition of security is different than most peoples definition of security. If anything, by most peoples definition of security openbsd may be less secure.

Most peoples definition of security is to have improved access control such that unauthorized access cannot happen. The openbsd definition of security is closer to "build it correctly so that it operates correctly". openbsd access control is actually fairly limited and rudimentary.
A watermark for chatbots can expose text written by an AI
My thought process is

* The iPhone stores your biometric data in its Secure Enclave

* The Secure Enclave also holds the cryptographic private keys

* Every action you do against the server requires your phone to add a cryptographic signature, which can only be written when the iPhone verifies you via FaceID

Apple could act as the Certificate Authority letting websites know that this signature aligns with an iPhone user. Apple may not need to let the website know exactly who performed the action, but just say that Apple verifies that this is a real person making the action.
> charging a price for technical support services, by providing a software platform through which the manufacturer monetises other services, or by the use of personal data

See, this is why all these "foundations" and package managers are against it. They count as commercial entities.

The EU is a really big place, it won't be ignored. The real danger, from the point of view of these "foundations", is that someone will fill the void with a compliant solution - and they won't limit their services to the EU.

No, they weren't, they just want you to think they were. They're not special vs other computer manufacturers in this context.

This is a win for them. They don't want you reselling devices, they want you to throw your old devices in the trash and buy brand new ones.

I once factory reset my Google Nexus 6 and sold it on eBay only to find out they needed my credentials!

For a time, before factory resetting, you needed to remove your account from the phone. I had no idea.
likely a case of wanting "one design to fit all devices".
I don't know if that's true, but that would qualify as a "suckers clause".

Most people would not only laugh at that but also terminate every business with Oracle just because of that.

But.. there's a percentage of clients who just say "Ohh dear.. ok then." and in many of these organizations the people who make these decisions aren't even close to the source of revenue ( mostly public sector )
Hmm, 'vendor can remotely brick my device' could be a selling point or a not buying point depending on view point.

Art in all its forms had always serious problems getting funded but things only seem to get worse at each iteration. In older times the problem was that most people had other worries, so artist numbers were small and they seeked patronage from the elites that could afford it.

Later we had mass commercialization which "democratized" art but artists got squeezed by the intermediaries / distributors that enabled the mass market. As digital mass reproduction became a thing, this ushered zero marginal cost dynamics which is essentially still an unresolved stalemate.

The "AI" generation of all sorts of combinatoric works without attribution or payment comes to compound the challenges. You now have arbitrary amounts of derivative art that can be reproduced at zero cost.

Never a dull moment in homo sapiens land.
>I wouldn’t move somewhere that there weren’t other jobs in the area.

While a good principle, I'll posit there are a lot of more or less specialized professional jobs--especially at more senior levels--where you can't just walk across the street and slide into a similar role at a different company. Even if it's in the same general area, a 2 hour commute each way is probably not sustainable.
Because the only reason you think through-hole is easier is that you're accustomed to it.

Starting from scratch, a syringe of paste and some tweezers is not only easier, it's faster and smaller. Young eyes might not even need a magnifying glass. There's no pile of sharp little trimmed leads everywhere afterward, even!

I teach newbies SMT all the time at my local makerspace. It's insanely easy.
You do realize that Oracle was literally the company that open sourced the whole OpenJDK to the point that the only difference between Oracle’s version and the free open-source reference implementation (95+% developed by Oracle employees) is just some a tiny bit of branding?

Also, with respect to Google’s inability to continuously support any project for more than like 4 years, no, Oracle is a much better steward of the platform.

In this case we're a non-profit funded by grant dollars. So, we're spending a good chunk of cash on hardware relative to what many do primarily because I want quality products for our staff and I'd like it to be reliable and secure. I don't think buying it out will be a possibility, but perhaps. Always a discussion. We would definitely need to find a way to validate wiping the device though. Nothing we have is... that sensitive but I'd like to make sure they aren't walking away with user data.

I assumed MDM might do something here but wasn't 100% positive.

> Second step is, of course, if you can even fix them yourself.

It is very likely GP could fix them themself. OpenStreetMap allows for tagging the same map item with different language labels for exactly this reason. OsmAnd is likely simply picking the GP's preferred language, and when that label does not exist, using the language that /is/ available for display.

GP could insert the translations into OpenStreetMap (within the proper language tag) at which point they will be available to everyone using the data, including OsmAnd.
It does cover every case though. The solution for the orbit of a mass in a 2-body problem is always an ellipse! (Or a parabola/hyperbola for an escape trajectory). You can find the derivation here [1], it's not too complicated.

There is no way for an asteroid and the earth to interact gravitationally to change the asteroid's orbit from what it was coming in. Non-gravitational interactions (like hitting the earth/atmosphere) can do it.

Also, over many interactions and a long time you can have orbital capture in many-body situations, but there is no general equation for this (look up 3 body problem). This is how you get objects accumulating at Lagrange points for example.

TLDR: The equation you're asking for does not exist. Sorry, wrong question!!

Can anyone confirm this? The article AppleInsider links[0] doesn't seem to have a way to upload a receipt. And I don't see how this would be possible without Apple verifying that the seller's name matches the name on the Apple ID, since, otherwise, thieves could launder devices via "selling" them via ebay once (for a 12% fee), or telling buyers of stolen devices to submit their receipt to Apple to get around the lock.

> make self-hosting (using Mac devices) trivially easy

They did this for years: every Mac starting with the first release of Mac OS X had a built-in Apache webserver, and activating it was just the click of a button in the Sharing preference pane.

Problem is, the segment of people who a) are willing and able to create web content, and b) only want the very basics as provided by Apple (including whatever versions of Perl and other server-side languages happened to ship with the OS) is a fairly slim one.

The other problem is, almost no one has an ISP that's friendly to self-hosting from your home.

I believe Apple removed Web Sharing from the Sharing preference pane a few years ago now.

The article is saying that people don't unlock their devices before recycling them.

This could be true, but as I mentioned in another comment, as soon as it's removed from the original users iCloud account that lock will be removed.

> how can you trust that the "erase everything" works?

You can't remove it, but as long as nobody else can use the device to recover data then it's fine.

FWIW it's actually pretty easy with SATA SSD's to set a device key, which then encrypts everything on the drive at full speed: https://github.com/Drive-Trust-Alliance/sedutil

The drives are actually already doing this, it's just that the key is set to 0's.

I can imagine that, given the drive is accessed via T2, that Apples NANDS are being accessed the same way, in which case scrambling the key is enough to make it unrecoverable permanently.
1. is certainly true. to my mind, an accurate quantitative measure of brain function doesn't exist: you run into the fairly intractable philosophical problem of "what is brain function?"

while that is true, not being 100% philosophically sound has never stopped psychology studies before - far from it

2. is also perfectly true, with the caveat that it only applies to beneficiaries of the patents.

so your hypotheses account for beneficiaries of the patents, and scientists who aren't willing to broach the subject of measuring brain function, but what about the complement of those subsets? what about non-beneficiaries who are willing to quantify brain function? are they simply a small enough subset that it justifies the observation? or is there another hypothesis to be found? or perhaps the observation is flawed in itself
One positive has been that he didn't have any issues getting work. He had a factory job within a few days and has already been offered potential advancement to a salaried role. I wouldn't be surprised if some of that stemmed from white middle class privilege and the fact that it was a impulsive action (potentially related to mental illness) on his part rather than a lifetime of gang affiliations that led to his crimes. He has no visible markers of incarceration and easily blends into any crowd of middle aged white guys.

Animals have a universal language for gestures that of course we understand.

If I was hanging out at the barn and a clown came up the driveway with a large bunch of balloons, one of the horses would try to catch my eye and want to see how I reacted when I looked at the clown and they would tend to respond to the clown as either "normal" or a threat depending on how I respond.

In a herd, to first order, horses are going to look to the oldest and most experienced horse in the group on the assumption that they've seen a number of threats and survived and have the best judgement. Some of how we can ride and drive horses is because we can slot into the top of their social hierarchy in certain respects.

Animals size you up as an animal based on various characteristics. On foot you would have a very hard time catching deer bedded down but you can get close to them very easily on a horse because animals usually parse "horse + human" as just a "horse" and because horse has eyes mounted on the side of its face they see it as a herbivore compared to you, with your eyes in the front, looking like a carnivore.

It is not just horses, communication with dogs and cats are based on the same principles, wild animals are just as capable of "pointing" something out to another animals. I know is true for mammals because I've had a lot of dealings with mammals but it is probably just as true for birds and many reptiles.
