Its just a pointless friction point. Both for devs and users. 100% of the apps you use will have this permission. No user is going to deny the request. Its the same as the Android 'network' permission, which no one bats an eye at.

For devs, is Apple going to now audit your `UserDefaults` usage and deny an app update because you forgot to enumerate that you _also_ store preferred start page in your new release? Why even add this mental energy to the process unnecessarily?
Stable job here, but I think you’re bringing far too much of your own opinion into this ;)
I’m convinced the late 90s and early 00s was peak growing up years and it’s been going downhill ever since. One major factor in my reluctance to have kids is that there is zero possible way for me to offer a better experience for them compared to what I had.
How do you suggest we could teach proper threading (what is that?) to the masses?

I'd say that asset size is small. There are a lot of things that could trip up a bank that scale. Bad IT/compliance, etc.

Brexit is a refusal of authoritarianism and introducing another layer of "barely elected" government, which is why the UK is being punished for following through with Brexit.

Of course most governments in the UK, like everywhere else (whether right or left wing) are, more or less secretly, authoritarian so they will be favourable to a great firewall when the right time comes.

The EU has been talking about it for some time and I'm sure they'll stick it together with some 600 pages policy nobody will bother reading at some point.

Those are all relatively small, I think they're all lifted sedans. When people are talking about an arms race, they're probably talking about the true SUVs, which are built on truck frames - the Escalades, Suburbans, etc. They're gargantuan compared to a RAV4/CR-V. An Escalade gets 14 mpg city, the RAV4 gets 27 mpg in the city, the hybrid version, 41 mpg.
I feel like this isn’t a good thing in the long term

Does anyone else feels it’s a good thing?
VPN apps are annoying. You constantly have to turn in on or off. I find battery leakage. There are speed issues etc.. .And, the purpose of VPN is different than ad blocking.
I hope you don't do banking or anything critical on your phone.
In that analogy, compassion and love are the oxygen. If you hold on to anger and defensiveness in order to "fend for yourself" it's like failing to put on your oxygen mask because you hold on to your valuables, thinking someone is going to steal them in the middle of a plane crash.
DNS itself is easy to learn. Trying to figure out why domain x doesn’t resolve to ip y is a hard problem.

Like the article points out, there’s so many layers of potential caches in between you starting a lookup and that lookup being resolved.
I think it's more that not capitulating to China would potentially result in destroying Apples supply chain. China could potentially kill Apple, the UK can kill a portion of Apples user base.
i don't know really how much it was back then, but not to much. there wasn't more than one or two shows in a day that i was interested in, often it was less, so maybe 5-10 hours per week?

i can tell you that now i spend an average of 1 to 1.5 hours per day watching movies, series or youtube. there are to many other interesting things to do that i also want to spend time on (like discussing on HN :-)

Do you really say that? I take your point, but the metaphor is ridiculous because the view isn’t even better standing up, and it’s rare to find oneself in such a situation - let alone to find oneself in such a situation and choose to be confrontational.
Like anything else I am certain I am wrong in interesting ways. I can just personally understand the idea that if every need I had was catered to I probably wouldn't spend a lot of time wondering how I could go about innovating. A lot of the brilliance was spent on how they could keep poor people in check, get more slaves, and aquire more power. Hence why a lot of what was going on seemed to deal with exactly those needs. They seemed to spend a lot of time warring, entertaining the poor, and politicing competition to death. But I am also a layman, so I leave space to be wrong.
That's not quite true. For example, most operations on lists and dicts are thread-safe in the current version of python. You can't say that about languages with true multithreading.

> The only thing the pandemic has taught me

I bet you have learned more than one thing from the pandemic.
Do you seriously say this? I cannot imagine how insufferable it would be to hear this from somebody.

I have kids and I don't care how my SUV makes you feel. Riding a bike is a cool hobby, and my family and I own tons of bikes that we take on the awesome bike paths they have all over our town. Bikes are also a great way to exercise.

But they don't really belong on roads. Taking a bike a place it isn't mean to go, then complaining about how unfit for the bike that place is, is absurd.

You aren't supposed to stand up in a movie theater. You are supposed to drive your car on the streets that we build specifically for driving cars.
This is the world we live in now, yikes. Citizen app feels like another tendril of the same beast.
Samsung is disappointing than Xiomi. My Mi phone lasted 4 years and after switching to samsung, it didn't even last more than 2 years. After the battery died, samsung became useless.
Nobody needs to operate in China. That's the thing that's being overlooked.

Apple made a choice to operate there - and would have still been the world's most valued company regardless.

So, Apple's choice was to sell-out their privacy and security credentials to make more money - counting on their other large markets (ie. the US) not paying close enough attention to see the blatant hypocrisy.

"Security and privacy are great - unless we can make more money selling off your security and privacy to oppressive government regimes!"

Somehow that just doesn't have a catchy marketing ring to it...

So now there's precedent that Apple will violate everything they stand for if a large enough market demands it. What happens when the US government decides to place Apple in the crosshairs for not "helping catch terrorists" or something? Will Apple sell out too? Why not?
Things like this really need corresponding figma components as well.

> I'd argue against most countries not having their own classification system. That has not been my experience, and I don't understand how e.g. a demographic census would even function otherwise.

Many countries collect data on ethnicity-hence, they will have a system for categorising people based on ethnicity, often based on which ethnicities are most common in that country. But the US is unusual in having racial classifications instead of purely ethnic ones.

Differences: race purports to be a biological classification, ethnicity is predominantly a cultural one; racial classifications very often attempt to sort everyone into a small number of categories, while ethnic classifications tend to be much more expansive (with dozens or even hundreds of categories)–e.g. the Australian government's system recognises over 250 distinct "cultural and ethnic groups" [0]

Consider the case of identical twins separated at birth, and raised by families belonging to different ethnic groups-the twins could grow up to have different ethnicities, but few would agree they could have different races. Suppose one twin is adopted by an Italian family and grows up speaking Italian at home, while the other twin is adopted by a Lebanese family and grows up speaking Arabic at home instead

In theory (and occasionally in practice), you can change your ethnicity - sometimes a person joins an ethnic group (often via marriage, religious conversion, and/or immigration), and becomes so thoroughly assimilated to it that everyone accepts them as a full member. A relatively rare scenario-and different ethnic groups differ in their openness to it-but given ethnicity is a cultural category there is nothing in principle wrong with the idea of changing your ethnicity. Whereas, in theory, your race is immutable and cannot be changed (in spite of rare cases when practice has deviated from the theory)

What do you base that on?

My understanding is this bill will have cross party support and has been in development for many many years.

It might be politically expedient to abandon it at some point, but the mainstream media largely have completely ignored it and the public have little knowledge of it but at all
It depends on accent, but probably something like /krɔ̃xk na hɛ:rdʒə/ or /krɔ̃xk na ha:rdʒə/. The last word (Earde) cannot be the correct Gaelic spelling.
Much to your point of media having an apparent dislike for Musk, I had noticed Business Insider dominating anti-Musk coverage. It was so much so that when they published a flattering article about him I was shellshocked.

I think people assume that because Musk is highly successful that he is a normal person, worthy of being judged by such a standard. From the outside nothing seems normal about him to me. He is almost certainly on the spectrum, yet fairly highly functional.

I attribute half of the hatred for him not because of his behavior, but because of the general anger towards the billionaire class.

I think the sharp divide in perception of him shows that polarization within America has reached unhealthy levels. I won't invoke the terms used to describe people believed to be pro or anti Musk here, but I think most know them. I wish we could get to a point where we discuss less about people and more about their individual actions.

Well said. Thanks

> Normal recumbents are also bloody dangerous

I've normally been saying the opposite. Been riding a (2 wheel) recumbent for 15 years or so. I'm pretty much never going to endo. My biggest risk is falling sideways and I'm low enough to the ground that it is natural to just put my leg down and catch myself. I even surprised myself when I caught myself when sliding on a sharp turn going fast. I can only think of one time I hit pavement (went into a slide with just minor scrapes to show). It had rained recently and my back tire slid out from underneath me during a turn.
I've been told by recruiters that the reason they never give you a reason for rejecting you is so you have less ammunition for any potential lawsuit.
Of course, but it still breaks the split between interface and implementation that people are talking about here.

Once anything collides with anything in orbit it has a slightly different trajectory. Any movement up or down will make its orbit more ellipsoidal than the original orbit. Also the atmosphere moves up and down in response to solar wind and therefore varies in both time and space. Atmospheric drag is apparently still a factor up to 600km https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/impacts/satellite-drag

Debris in a crowded orbit will eventually collide, no matter how synchronized it all was initially.
The L1 can be worse than the H1 bind in some ways - has effectively all of the same rules, with the primary and critical exception you cannot change employer in the US. On the L1, your Green Card is much more at the mercy of how nice your employer is, as you won't be able to change job if they start slow-walking it etc. The trade off is not being subject to the H1 cap of course.

You can also try to convince your employer to keep applying for an H1 for you while you are working on an L1 - if they agree that's usually a good sign the employer is going to work hard to complete your GC process, and isn't just using the L1 status to handcuff you to the company.
Even if they pulled all manufacturing from China, they could still potentially be kneecapped if China blacklisted them from purchasing things like gallium.

Of course Java has thread safe collections in the standard library. ConcurrentHashMap etc. are popular in multithreaded contexts.
I worked for an older film post facility, and their audio library was a very interesting place to kill time on breaks. There was a room that was 20'+ long with floor to ceiling shelving with 12" vinyl records. There were a couple of 1200s for sampling the needle drops. There was a pad with an order form where you manually recorded the vinyl's ID and the cut number used. This was then faxed to licensing department, and they would fax back an approved license terms. This was for SFX as well as music cuts. There was a much smaller shelving section of CDs with some of the same content but mainly newer content. Now, it's all online. We also had a library of film/video stock footage. This library was mainly 1" tapes and consisted primarily of footage shot on 35mm film. This took up soooo much space. By the time the world switched to HD, the internet was able to provide video content as well, so that library really never improved other than the odd BCSP or the rare DigiBeta masters of the newest content.

So, it brings back lots of memories seeing something like this. I couldn't imagine having to deal with finding audio cuts on a reel-to-reel Nagra type system. At least with vinyl, you can see the cuts, and CDs just let you skip directly to cut 87 (if you still could find the remote). Maybe there are cue tones that allow a system to scan directly to the cut???

They certainly can, if they wanted to - or they could block your app and exile you with minimum effort.

Telegram is half banned in Russia.

Of course this doesn't apply to the bad guys: they're already breaking the law, using E2E is a no-brainer for them.

The UK government can't ban math out of existence (even if it looks like they're trying very hard, judging from the quality of their education system) so there will always be encryption.

It's the same with guns: congratulations you've outlawed guns and now only criminals can use them.
Given the friendliness of Cuba with Russia, the EU should just ban their citizens from going to resolve this problem.
It's a useful signal: these people aren't worth engaging with.
You thought hundreds of folks express the same narrow viewpoints here by coincidence?
I think you are seriously underestimating how fast recumbent bikes go. They can reach 40-50 km/h without too much effort, compared to the average cyclist going about 20 km/h.

In Europe e-bikes are separated into two categories. My country has a "regular" e-bike which provides assistance up to 25 km/h, and is treated like any other bike. A "speed pedelec", on the other hand, goes up to 45 km/h and is treated like a moped. It often isn't allowed on bike paths due to the danger the speed difference poses, and it is even required to have a license plate!

So no, just because they are all bicycles doesn't mean they can safely be mixed - just like having a tractor going 40 km/h on a motorway where the rest of the traffic goes 120 km/h is not a great idea.
Yea, it was a double ended joke. Mostly about the fact that it is a federal building, hence not legal, and partly about cokegate.
It’s bullish for Tesla that their extremely costly NACS investments will be proved correct, they now have increased economic value, and a future risk is eliminated. Having long calls proven right is bullish. This level of influence over the North American automotive sector is bullish.

It also plays into the perception that Tesla are technology leaders the EV sector. Which is a big deal if EV technology is the future of the the automotive sector.

The two main parties do not care about civil liberties or privacy. This will resurface in the next administration under a new name with a few tweaks here and there.
The mind is the brain and the body. Stress is generated by the mind when contacting external objects, or when reliving past trauma.

There is no such thing as an external source of stress. You can't measure how much stress an object or situation is objectively emitting, because it is a response generated by the mind itself.

As such it can only be examined by the mind itself, and with that it can be mastered.
Yes, and they should have dedicated infrastructure to help keep them away from people. We could call this infrastructure "roads".
I dunno. My advice to new owners of a ebook device has always been to put it in airplane mode the second it comes out of the box. Get all the ebooks you want to read from LibGen or Anna’s Archive and sideload them over USB.
Nor do I. I was mainly stating that I think the absence of slavery is needed. You need the motivation to get more efficient labor and the laborers themselves can earn money and innovative. A slave with innovative ideas probably had the idea whipped out of them for trying to work less hard. Obviously not the only factor, but it would seem a logical story to me.
Elon is trying to turn Twitter/X into the wests WeChat. So at least he’s doing something interesting?

I’m back in the Elon corner. Is he goes down, it’ll be doing something interesting at least.

Meta might have a head start with WhatsApp, but I don’t see them doing anything interesting or well.
Thank you for this. Is 'waste' used in a specific vernacular? I've never heard of someone saying waste instead of vast before.
What's the point switching from Twitter to this? Threads looks like a carbon copy without all of the engaging conversations, monetization and with all of the same censorship problems.
I feel helpless and very gloomy when I think about biodiversity loss and climate change. I even fast forward David Attenborough documentries when he talks about these things. Sometimes "its all going to hell but we are going in together" thought is more comforting than thinking about my own and everyone else apathy.

Thanks for making "code written by nature" comment. Knuth also agrees that bioinformatics has many more fantastic problems than computer science because its much much older.

I was in awe of planeria when I first saw it regenerating from its parts first time.
I think the article hits the nail on the head. DNS itself isn't hard, but learning real-world DNS is, due to the (as described) hidden nature of many parts between intending to do a lookup and getting the expected result.

Some of this also stems from the divergence of what used to be a 'default' way to be connected to the internet (one interface, one gateway, one DNS server provider) and what is now far more common like having to figure out how to actually do the lookup in the first place (connected to multiple WANs, sometimes concurrently like LTE and WiFi) and as a user, not actually being able to tell which resolving path was used (was it the browser? the standard interface in the system C lib? was it some local resolver or recursor that sits in between the lookup? do any of them have a local cache? do any of them add special options by default?).

Even if everything works, you'd still not be able to blindly trust if the query and response used the same path in one application as it did in another. Three browsers might all use something different, and the OS itself might use something different yet again, only to have mDNS add a fifth option.
ok, fair, but what i am asking about is a feature of common lisp (and smalltalk or pike), so i didn't pay attention to the exclusion. that was not deliberate. my bad. (maybe you could say i moved the goalpost back to the original topic)
China wouldn't care if Apple bought gallium if Apple wasn't selling/manufacturing devices there in the first place.

Apple made a choice folks... and it was to sell out to an oppressive regime. There is no other way to see this.
> I have kids and I don't care how my SUV makes you feel.

Okay, but you should be aware that everyone with an SUV increases the danger to everyone else's kids.

> But they don't really belong on roads. Taking a bike a place it isn't mean to go, then complaining about how unfit for the bike that place is, is absurd.

Bikes have to share roads almost everywhere, and big cars are also bad at pedestrian safety.

> You aren't supposed to stand up in a movie theater. You are supposed to drive your car on the streets that we build specifically for driving cars.

You're supposed to have a car, you're not supposed to have an oversized one.
GIL: Global Interpreter Lock.

Good explanation here: https://realpython.com/python-gil/
people in this thread mention that, for some reason, "even with GIL you still have to write thread-safe code", which is an admirable stance, but I don't think many people do it, because their webserver or whatever uses the many single-threaded processes model and they don't want to waste time on that
It’s a little different since it’s meant to basically be a persistent identity. App attest is the more comparable technology for SafetyNet.

If the videos don't load for you, try without an ad blocker (or put this site as an exception). I use Ghostery and the videos wouldn't load unless I trusted the site.

Why do you want the ability to vent such potent greenhouse gasses?

I'd like the ability to visit space at some point in my life, and I'd like our species to become experienced at doing things in space. Like, if we need to be able to deploy something in space to decrease the amount of heat we're taking in to try and buy more time to decarbonize before we're completely F'd because of all the people venting potent greenhouse gasses from their HVAC systems, it'd be nice if we already had a space industrial complex capable of supporting that goal.
