LTE and 5G standards allow end-to-end encryption of the roaming traffic. So, it's by design. If your operator chooses to enable e2e (and usually they do), there would be just two options: block your traffic entirely or let it pass as it is.

(co-founder of anytype)
the whole purpose of anytype is user autonomy from software provider. The data standard is open. The code is open. You can self-host your network of backup nodes (tech skills required as this is self-hosting alpha released this week). The app is local first with p2p sync (you remove the back up node, you still have your data and still have sync in local networks). Most importantly you control the keys - encryption keys, access to your account - this is not touched by anytype - noone can block you out of your account, no central registry of users, all these. There are two principles for our business model: self-sustinability - support a community of contributors to improve the product and build this positive fly wheel and universal accessibility - anyone can use anytype for free if they use their resources. I hope all of this decisions deserve attention and reveal our intention (they are not accidental things)
Unfortunately, I think that's a lot of the instances in this list - they're essentially just marketing blurbs masquerading as polls. Postman's report is like that (API thought leaders are the ones that use Postman the most!), but the Datadog, Hashicorp, and other reports are similar - the conclusions are basically "you need to use our product to be good", e.g. Hashicorp's conclusion "More cloud-mature companies improved their business outcomes with respect to speed, risk, and efficiency." (Oh, and by the way, being "cloud mature" means using tools like Terraform).

Not saying the polls are necessarily invalid, but there is soooo much attempted BS "submarine marketing" these days that I think it's important to always consider the motivations of the source.

I had this moment during the Covid pandemic. I read a lot of history and I saw pictures of the Spanish influenza and was told it killed more people than WW1. Somehow I pictured the world in the late 1910s with everyone sick and in hospital but now I think it was more like Covid. People got sick and died but life went on and some people were completely unaffected. The world doesn't grind to a halt for world wars and pandemics. People still have kids and get married and start businesses and hike and play the guitar, etc. History is just what we decide to deem important or not.
That argument doesn't hold up. Adding `#[tokio::main]` is opting in because it is that extra something that has to be done. Adding that line is opting in to the multithreaded runtime.

Reminds me a lot of working in tech to be honest. Things break, postmortems are held. Even if the breakage is as simple as "this was an honest mistake", everything is held to "how can this never happen again," so process and red tape is added. Rinse and repeat ad nauseam until your delivery speed is butchered, the bugs _still_ happen, but hey, a project manager or someone somewhere now gets to pat themselves on the back for running a meeting and adding more process that they can now tout on their future interviews.
Would this suggest that having background noise on in your home (e.g. music, TV, podcast, etc.) is beneficial?

Our home is generally pretty quiet. I occasionally listen to music, but we only have the TV on when we're actually watching something (which isn't often).

Compared to growing up (and even still today) my Mom would leave live TV on constantly in the background.

Obviously we still have mental stimulation through work, cooking, board games, reading, etc., but not much audio (aside from conversing and the occasional video game/TV show).
>That's their claim, but it doesn't hold up much so far.

are there any arguments?

>There are many apps who can sync, most of them have it as an option, without a forced login and hidden sync.

We don’t have any forced login. It’s just basic keychain that generated on your machine, that only can use, and can use off-line. It’s a way do deal with encryption. Where you see a forced login?

>So I can't even access my data and must trust in the app to not screw up, and have a well working export. Which considering it takes Notion and its poor export as inspiration, is not really a good sign

> "Consumers might also have the impression that sending money through Venmo is instant, but Venmo doesn’t do real time settlement," said Rusiru Gunasena, SVP of RTP Product Management and Strategy at The Clearing House.

Wow, so this really is an instant payment system -- ideally meaning no longer waiting "n business days" for funds to arrive in my account supposing that the other party is using this service. That sounds great, honestly.
We now know that PRISM was (is?) the NSA internal source designation for data acquired through FISA warrants executed by the FBI.

So actually Apple was being honest. They had not heard of PRISM, because that term was only used inside the NSA. And they were not allowing direct government access to their servers, they were responding to FISA warrants.
Your description of feedback for software development that "it runs" is like playing something on the piano and saying it sounds like the midi version so I'm good. There are a lot more accessible examples for piano than software development. You might not be able to determine how they accomplished some aspect but you can definitely hear & see the difference. The same is not true for software.
Since Apple does not disclose how much money they make from advertising specifically, conflating it into their "services" business, we have to guess a bit:

"In 2021, Apple generated 3.7 billion U.S. dollars with its global advertising business." [1]

"Apple’s services business, which includes advertising and subscription revenues, grew 24% year over year last quarter to a record $19.5 billion"
"It’s likely that a large share of this category’s growth comes from advertising" [2]

"Apple ad business could reach $6B by 2025, with $4.1B from Search Ads" [3]

For reference, 2023 Q2 revenue from "services" amounted to 20.9B USD, while
hardware product sales amounted to 73.9B USD. [4]

We're thus talking about ~4%, not exactly a rounding error.

You may have a skewed view of the frequency of that level of abuse, due to the (very important) work you do. When it comes to humans there are exceptions to every rule, but not every single exception needs be called out. Not everything is “problematic” nor worth an “oof”.

Apple sold itself as having better security.

It's debatable whether or not that was true, and even if you believed it it was up for another debate whether that security was by design or because Apple's vanishingly small share of the PC market made it uneconomical to write malware targeting OSX.

This isn't to say that Microsoft was doing security properly back then either, they weren't.

It’s really astonishing that Joe Biden seems to be generally to the left of the Labour party leadership. By USA standards Biden is a centrist moderate. We had the good sense to eject the Mark Penn “must go right-wing” types from mainstream Democratic circles; why didn’t Labour follow this path too?
Everyone doesn't get treated like shit. Most people respect and want cops. People whining about cops being mean to them, and their general dispositions, tends to think that their police interaction is a super special customer service experience and that the system is faulty when it falls short of their expectations. The reality is that cops deal with the worst of society multiple times per day, even if you don't represent it. The robot doesn't yet exist that can remain psychologically fresh given that. The summary take is to move to a very rural area if you need to feel relatively better respected by cops.
Of course not, but I thought it was already more than just an idea.

I agree. That was just an argument using Apple's CSAM implementation as a vector for a bad state actor. The same misuse could be facilitate any number of ways.

I have come to the conclusion that part of corporate combat involves apparent grassroots outrage.

If a system without a wide open backdoor is proven effective it becomes more difficult to argue for a bigger backdoor.

Nintendo historically has enormous leverage on multiple Japanese publishers and developers.

Speaking for previous experience in the music industry, It wasn't uncommon for some A&R or label to become "persona non grata" for personal or "political" (rocking the boat too much with some untouchable manager or artist) reasons and getting the boot from most if not all big publishers and distributors.

I wouldn't be surprised if something similar was going on in the gaming industry.
Where's the noise? I'm not seeing any.
I had a similar thing happen. I distributed some malware I wrote on the shared drive and had some people run it (it was extremely basic, just locked people out of the computer with no recovery by taking advantage of how locked down they were; but people lost a lot of work). My programming teacher, who was already dealing with me being a distraction in class, went to bat for me so I didn’t get strongly punished but made me clean it off the drive continuously; other students kept putting it back, so I had to monitor for it.
This story brought me to tears within two paragraphs, wow
A lot of the comments to this are angry and I can appreciate that. There is obviously some specific nuance to "open source" that individuals in this thread want to maintain and feel that the OSI has enshrined in stone as a definition that no one shall breach.

However, I strongly support the kind of license (in principle) that this software is released under. Source code is available for anyone to inspect, modify for their own use, contribute to, run locally for their own benefit. The main restriction is so clearly obvious: you can't create a commercial competitor. You can't take their code and with minimal effort or minor changes create a competing app and sell it to others.

This to me seems like a completely sane license. So common in fact that creative commons asks two basic questions when they recommend a license: "Allow adaptations of your work to be shared?" and "Allow commercial uses of your work?". In fact, they differentiate this difference with the moniker "Free cultural works" [1] (those that allow commercial use are termed "free").

I'd like to see the same nuance in software licenses. A difference between "open" and "free". That way, we can avoid this bickering in the comments where those who really want completely free software (free from all restrictions including those against commercial use) won't jump down the throats of those who want to open up their source while protecting themselves from competing commercial use.

> React diffs the state object when `setState` is called, determining which part of the DOM to update.

Er, what? That's not true at all, even for class-based components. `setState` merely queues up another render of the function and its children. There is no diffing, except for the new DOM returned against what is currently rendered.

> TC is value neutral so the FSF slurs don't make sense

Trusted computing is often used such that one might think, it implies the user can trust something (his computer). But it is the other way around. A service provider can trust a machine - that a user bought -- to not do what the user wants. That is misleading at best.
To add to that, I can use the WhatsApp desktop app at work. Can’t do that with iMessage.
not yet, we have very limited import options at the moment (notion, markdown, csv and protobuf). This surely limits our activation > not easy to start. We are working on more import options and also plan to publish an API and hope our community helps to build more options together with us
The opposite is more annoying...

Whatsapp works on PC, Mac, Android and iOS

iMessage only works on Apple devices.
In a word, populists. This is part of a stance of being 'tough on crime'. Whether or not the bill succeeds or fails isn't really important, what's important is that they can trumpet how tough on crime they are. If it fails it's not their fault, it's the opposition and how they care more about criminals' rights than your/childrens' safety etc. etc.

As to why the public themselves go for it, the media landscape in the UK is in a pretty bad way at the moment. An enormous amount of power is still wielded by the traditional press - specifically the power to set the national conversation.
It could be pretty easily abused. For example, a situation where there is less than 25 feet (or even 10 feet) of clearance like a sidewalk.

During the height of the BLM protests, local police told protesters to get off of the sidewalks and then arrested/assaulted them for being in the street.

They are frequently subpoenaed for information, and turn over that data more often than not: https://www.apple.com/legal/transparency/us.html
> just as legally binding or not binding as an E-Mail

Which is legally binding. In Germany most contracts are free-form contracts (Formfreiheit) and only need declarations of intent in the form of offer and acceptance. This can be a handshake or even a head shake.
I agree it doesn't sound so bad, but from another perspective: why should a cop be given the authority to demand a law abiding citizen move 25ft for any reason?

That's just unchecked power waiting to be abused and there's simply no reason cops have given the public to believe they won't abuse power frequently, if given the opportunity.
Is WhatsApp still requiring access to your phone's address book before it allows you to use it? It did last time I tried it. There is no chance in hell I'm giving it all the phone numbers, emails and names of people that trusted me by giving me their details. At the time I set up a virtual android environment (samsung called it knox) just to setup WhatsApp in a way it couldn't access my phone's address book. It is extremely unethical on Meta's side to continue with this requirement. So I'm dubious every te they're presented as champions of privacy protection.
True, but security and privacy are different things. At most, one could say that security is necessary-but-not-sufficient for privacy.

Google is generally excellent at security, but that doesn't change the fact that they're a nightmare for privacy.
Why shouldn't the deal be blocked?

Whatever services MS want from Activision they can purchase on an ongoing basis without blocking others like Sony just to block the competition.

Microsoft is a platform provider, the content creators that use their platform should be free to publish to any platform. Otherwise Microsoft bump the prices and say take it or leave it but you can't get it anywhere else.

In some (rare) cases, I find that MDN doesn't have enough detail. Official specs aren't as easy, but I can usually track down any specific behavior detail in 10 or 15 minutes. For the degree of precision provided, I really think this is not bad at all.

So many tools feels overwhelming but I guess, I am the only one
The price of built-in text messaging whether SMS or iMessage (or a combination of the two) largely went to zero for most people in the US texting especially other people in the US by the time other apps gained traction. And services like appointment reminders and verification codes pretty much all use SMS in the US--whatever its potential security vulnerabilities.

So I use 2 or 3 other apps for mostly a few international people I know but basically everyone I know just defaults to SMS/iMessage.
I can absolutely see why kids go to social media for their news and not traditional sources.

It's flashy, fast, catchy, with music, or made into compelling short form stories that (depending on what you watch) can be partially, wholly, or not at all factual.

Why would teenagers want to watch some old person talk about the boring details and intricacies of current events like the war in Ukraine for 10-15 minutes when you can get a summary of the same information in 30-60 seconds on TikTok?
it's also probably memorable because it was the largest empire in human history with like almost a third of the world in its possession? It's arguably one of the most influential
I imagine all the factions in that war will include integrated collections of both AIs and humans, with "individuals" fulfilling different roles within each team, perhaps with each faction representing some underlying ideology.

I wonder if/how humans will physically/cognitively integrate with the AIs in their group, in some sort of symbiotic hybrid fashion.

It's all really mind-boggling when you think about it.

Ahh -- so this is linked to demand in _China_ not being as high as was expected, I see. The article goes on to say that the demand for smartphones and automotive chips ( "luxury" items, perhaps, in a time of shrinkage over there ) to lessen.

10-25 feet seems reasonable with 25 being the upper bound of reasonability. The average person can move 9-12ft/s in a single direction; starting speed would be slower so generous is 5-6ft/s. 2 seconds worth of distance sounds reasonable to keep everyone safe.

As others have pointed out the issue likely isn't the distance. It's that police can enforce their own measures here without accountability.
