It's a large web app, sure, but gzip doesn't do 60x compression. 9-10x at best. But it's not a problem. It's for a small-ish group of people, and it's better to do the editing and some processing in the browser than on the server. The app uses relatively few components in that build at the same time, so it's not sluggish. There are also some "assets" in there. I don't like the practice, but my colleague does, so he occasionally puts things like images and fonts in there.

OTOH: it shows data. A normal size data set is 2000-3000x rows and 300-500 columns. If you output that as a simple table, the browsers gets super-slow. So another component has to be added. It adds up.
Google pressures device OEMS into joining the OHA, after which they can't create AOSP devices. Allegedly, Amazon is giving up on Android for their own hardware.
Ah, thank you. So the idea here is that extensions will still have the read access to requests, which is all attackers care about (typically). Confirmation would be interesting - at minimum I thought that inspecting requests (read only) Was being limited, but I'm just a casual observer.
This is sadly true

My grandmother uses the Google app to browse the web on her phone. Not Chrome. Not safari. the Google Search app.

Because every single time she does a search, google tells her to install the app.

And I have a few friends that either uninstalled Adblock. Or stopped watching YouTube on PC in response to this new Adblock crackdown. All of them use chrome.
App store is filled with these kind of apps that all look the same. Nothing innovative and filled with ads. They all do the same task and ask for subscription right-away and for your 5-star review in 2 seconds. I feel like you did too much FAFO to me.

This isn't an Apple problem, it's a problem with every business review platform. If a shady marketing firm takes a contract to give an app fake 5 star reviews, there's no way for the review platform to know if that shady marketing firm was hired by the app's developer or their competitor. Only the marketing firm knows.

If you can 3D print titanium, then you can make a honeycomb structure overcoming this problem.
Not sure why we're discussing this like it's serious, but people work from home these days and can connect to work via VPN from anywhere. And given the chaos, assuming all digital accounts/permissions were immediately shut down is a big question mark. Especially when everyone at OpenAI was on his side.
Fastify Frontends Are Here
Yea, I would be okay with spending all 30k of those on just YouTube ads, and pihole for the rest. Google is the biggest advertiser, so logically their ads would go first or close to the top
Lol that sounds crazy, like when you would have an operating system with a web browser and then would be running complete applications in that brows… oh wait…
The regulatory requirements around communications equipment (especially cellular modems) pretty much requires closed binary blobs. Eventually folks are able to reverse it, but not in a timely fashion.
This is a real life case.

This article explores surface disinfection (commonly bleach in the hospital). Although provider gowns are removed after entering contaminated rooms, disinfected surfaces commonly come into contact with provider scrubs which are not laundered in between same day patient encounters as well as other patients (such as the table of a CT or MRI).

I don’t see the gymnastics you’re referring to, other studies have looked at laundering processes which is not the focus of this study.

I blame the SQL "standard". It's a massive, unnecessary abstraction layer that only complicates attempts to build bridges between code and relational databases (which I believe is the most general-purpose paradigm).

Personally, I am working on a modern Python ORM for PostgreSQL and PostgreSQL alone.

Is that 30,000 limit per extension, or global?
> What is it about the apps that you feel either does or should violate policy?

OK, using the article's words, let's count the ways:

Within 10 days, we updated each of the six applications: removed all rating requests, revised all payment screens in line with Apple's recommendations, added Intercom for swift user assistance, established a help center with articles on canceling trials, requesting refunds, and implemented subscription management directly within the applications.

6 apps * ~5 fixes = 30 problems ... they knew what they were doing
> What if some is in the form of signals that require the brain to function continually to be preserved?

This. We don't know if a brain keeps all information necessary for a "reboot" or not. It may decay over time if whatever machinery necessary to first "start" consciousness is never used after birth.

I've used some psychedelics recreationally, and as far as I can tell, at least my consciousness is definitely affected on an ongoing basis by whatever signals happen to be in the brain. It's some sort of feedback loop and I'm not so sure how easy it would be to just start up again if it ever ended.

Simulators may have to just guess, and the simulated brains could end up with an altered consciousness compared to when they were alive.
Someday we may be able revive the brain itself by connecting it to a body, in which case you would experience falling asleep and waking back up.
Well, yes, but that wasn't the point. It's not a complaint, just disagreeing with the premise of Gen Z being the most technologically competent.
I just don't agree that social media is particularly harmful, relative to other things that humans have invented. To be brutally honest, people blame new forms of media for pre existing dysfunctions of society and I find it tiresome. That's why I like the printing press analogy.
This is a big reason I became disillusioned very quickly with US federal contracting and have distanced myself firmly from anything to do with it for the past several years. To a contractor the idea of saving the taxpayer money by accomplishing the contract goals early and/or under-budget is ludicrous — I was told in so many words by my management “the contract allows for up to X option years for a total of up to Y dollars, and we intend to get as many of those years and dollars as we can up to the full value, not leave them lying on the table. And our customer wants the same thing, because they need to fully spend their allocated budget.”

Basically large parts of US federal contracting run indistinguishably from a make-work program for contract firms and the COTRs and other contract-management staff working with them. It’s a major reason I’m certain that “modern IT” efforts like 18F or USDS or “groundbreaking” reforms like FITARA will never be allowed to amount to much (absent a Truman-style “integrate the military and I don’t give a shit what anyone thinks about it” mandate) — there’s too much money and too many staff wrapped up in the way things currently work, which is how they’ve worked longer than most of the people now in the system have been alive. None of the modernization or reforms will ever be completely terminated or repealed, because they’re too useful to point to as evidence that “see, we are aware of the problem and we are doing something about it”. Just as long as “something” never has any significant long-term impact on anybody’s budget, allocated FTEs, or revenue.
I wear a titanium ring too and keep my real one safely locked away. It’s an incredible metal that I proudly wear around. Mine cost about the same.

I also have a titanium pocketknife (James Brand), carabiner, keyrings, pens, camera (fujifilm makes a few), and some beloved snow peak dishes. And the silly titanium iPhone. It’s such a great metal to make things to carry with.

Um, how about you take your own advice?

https://blog.kapeli.com/dash-for-ios-back-on-the-app-store "TL;DR: Dash for iOS is back on the App Store and it’s completely free."

"Quite a few “developers” have even added it to the App Store themselves, violating the GNU GPL license in the process. Apple has been very responsive in removing these apps, but the developers kept adding it back in different shapes and forms and I got tired to fill the same copyright claim forms over and over.

I’ve made a personal developer account which Apple accepted and the review for Dash for iOS went through without any issues. I hope this will somewhat stave off the pirated copies of Dash from appearing on the App Store. We’ll see.

The macOS version of Dash will continue to be sold exclusively on kapeli.com."

Yesterday there was an article (or a rant) here which was flagged.

https://gkeenan.co/avgb/an-inordinate-amount-of-our-attentio...

Author describes Musk like this: "Dude will literally drop $44 billion to buy a website instead of going to therapy.", which is a funny way to say that he _should_ go to therapy, with which I agree.

Oh, and the whole thing is about OAI.
Another pumpkin that didn't RTFA.
What damage will it cause?

I feel like there's "AI will replace jobs" level of damage, which, why would we regulate that? An insane amount of technology is developed with the purpose of improving productivity or outright replacing workers.

Then there's the "AI will go rogue", which I don't think is substantiated at all. Like, one can theorize about some novel, distinct system that is able to interact with the external world and becomes "evil", but that seems way, way beyond the helpful word-spitter-outers of today.

Then maybe there's "how do we handle deepfakes", or whatever, but... idk, is that it? Is that the thing we want to slow down for?
One thing I noticed recently and was able to reproduce a bunch of times is asking dall-e the exact same prompt where the only difference is the subject being described as a male or female and it refuses to generate the female one. I don't know what to think of it but it's weird.

Apple is regulating, they are regulating a set of things the app developer was deliberately doing that were hostile to users:

"Within 10 days, we updated each of the six applications: removed all rating requests, revised all payment screens in line with Apple's recommendations, added Intercom for swift user assistance, established a help center with articles on canceling trials, requesting refunds, and implemented subscription management directly within the applications."
>> the govt picked a winner and gave them money?

That is what government procurement means. Any competitive process comes before the award of the contract. After that point everyone is generally locked into a one-customer one-seller situation.
I could see a day when titanium laptops return. Apple has invested in the some of the best mass machining in the world. I wonder what it’d look like sandblasted like their laptops and with their new coatings.
There is in the sense that there are robust black lists you can put in your `/etc/hosts` file, but that only blocks known senders of advertisements. But how can your OS know that this `div` is an ad and that one is content? Since the browser is the authority on what is rendered on a web page, it makes sense that it is the tool that should be utilized to block/hide rendered elements.
Except that Apple ist the gatekeeper here.
Tell HN: Internet Prisoner of Autocorrect
Do you ever read Reddit and see multiple errors caused per comment as a result of autocorrect?

Why is there not more outcry about why autocorrect has failed us?
No, that's the deception of signal. The general population is already using other identifiers like whatsapp and viber numbers (which almost every country outside the US use even more than sms). Signal refuses to opt-out of phone number collection and usage. With the tens of millions at their disposal and with the time they spend on mobile payments, crypto,etc... you are telling me they can't auto-generate identifiers as alternative to phone numbers? They can't make it alphanumeric and consider any id that is all numbers a phone?

It's all culting around tech/crypto personalities and ignoring the obvious things that don't pass the smell test.

Explain to me why Signal is special as opposed to more popular apps made for the general population that also do E2EE? Explain to me specifically why phone numbers and mobile usage is not optional? Even after like a decade of people begging for it?

This is a lot like PGP email, the same circles of people promoted it (still do in some cases) but the government loves it because email metadata is unencrypted and tech circles insist on email dependency on every app because of the same cult mindset even though hostile middle parties love it. Everything I do in amazon, netflix, uber, slack you name it you can tell my whole life pattern just looking at email subjecte in the clear on an MTA! All because of tech sector refusal to apply critical thinking and creativity when it comes to these things.

So again I ask, if I am allowed to criticaly examine Signal: why is it special and unique that it needs phone numbers no matter what? Especially given device compromise of people you talk to is not in their threat model. e.g.: you are a source and the journalist's phone is compromised, that is exactly what governments do! If signal didn't collect phone numbers all they would see on the journalist's phone would be your nick or in-app id, but thanks to signal they can find out who the source is, and using exploit kits like pegasus this way is not uncommon! Real people are put in danger by signal.

Look at all my downvotes and tell me this is not tech sector conspiracy or at best culting after personalities.
I have the same situation
largely agree, but stylistically speaking I prefer the following:

if ls /tmp/goober
test -d /tmp/goober
echo "I'll always love you or whatever"
then echo "the grasshopper always jumps higher"
else "never gonna let you down"
fi

i.e. all the commands line up at the 6th column, leaving the if/then/elif/else/fi stuff appearing on the 'margin', as it were.

This works particularly well, visually, when nested ifs are involved.
My guess is less variety on browsers than routers but no clue with OS’s.
The only problem is the right hands aren't getting paid off.

The Reinsurance Industry doesn't work in Lloyds, Macau, basically a PO Box in the Caribbean because they're moving millions and billions of dollars FOR CHARITY.
Apple has in fact already solved these problems satisfactorily, on a platform called macOS. That’s what a smart company does when it knows it can’t put the third-party apps back in the box, and still feels motivated to uphold its reputation for security. iOS is the aberration.
Pure elemental titanium has much less desirable material properties than various titanium alloys which are what you encounter most commonly. It is very uncommon to encounter elemental titanium outside of a chemistry lab.
But, before you write the letter, understand OP knew what they were doing:

"Within 10 days, we updated each of the six applications: removed all rating requests, revised all payment screens in line with Apple's recommendations, added Intercom for swift user assistance, established a help center with articles on canceling trials, requesting refunds, and implemented subscription management directly within the applications."

All methods to juice and retain MRR at users' literal expense.
Is there any point in learning in new programming skills when AI can do it all? I feel discouraged about learning new skills in this era
If anything Google would be incentivized to increase the size, since that would impact competitors. So I'm just curious to learn more about the justifications - like I said, they've made a number of changes to the APIs already in the last two years or so.
There are a dozen Boomerang rip-off apps on the App Store.

I've been using an antimalware system which has been highly successful at blocking all sorts of malware. It's where I don't run invasive closed source programs on my computers and give them access to all my shit, and I don't just give my credentials and money to anyone that asks. In other words, basic computer practices from decades ago.

I know that this system may be unattainable for some, namely children, the elderly and the intellectually disabled. But maybe we shouldn't be designing general purpose computers around the lowest common denominators of society, for the same reason you wouldn't design a car for the legally blind or a book for the illiterate.

The nature of smartphones and the internet has some pretty large consequences for the economy, politics, war, and global surveilance. I understand that some people don't know how to manage their own computer, but if you really think everyone's computers should be controlled by dictators and buerocrats maybe you should just go live in a third world country instead.
Do your bikes have carbon forks or TI? when I looked at TI bikes for fun in the past, the carbon forks surprised me, seemed like that should have been titanium too. How has your mug held up? Has it been compatibly durable compared to steel vacuum mugs? Snow peak makes great products but leans more lightweight than durable from my experience with their dishware
It’s super light, about the same weight as single wall stainless cup. The mouthfeel is nice, hot coffee doesn’t make the titanium feel as hot as steel gets and the feel is more similar to ceramic than stainless steel. It cleans up really nice and truly doesn’t stain. I even used a dc transformer to do some custom anodizing on mine and it looks really cool.
> Taking an attitude of "piracy is a service problem", and proceeding to offer such a good service that it's preferable to pirating

My favourite way to phrase this is that "steam is the most anti-piracy store available. With piracy, you play games you didn't buy. On steam, you buy games you never play."

I'm in that overlapping part of the Venn diagram where I read "C diff" and both programming and infectious bacteria come to mind. But I see it written that way in the context of medicine far more than some incidental reference to diff in the C programming world.

> The author considers the bug reporting to be a benefit, it's a contrast from this post last month

>> Linux accounts for less than 1% of the total players, so from a business perspective, it is not worth it.

These actually don't need to contradict. The current post specifically suggests that at a cursory glance it looks like a bad decision to support linux users and instead triage those bugs but that in reality the bugs they report are more universal. We can call this a colloquial paradox because the simple reasonable assumption is in direct opposition to the nuanced one.

Let's call it Koderski's paradox since that's the Reddit user's name.
> There's not federal database of gun owners

Oh yeah, totally. While we're at it, Room 641A didn't exist, there are no backdoors in domestically designed modems, encryption or operating systems, and I'm a monkey's uncle. This is Hacker News, not Facebook. Even the most oblivious users on this website could probably tell you that the intelligence agencies don't play fair.

> Or change your government. Giving up and simply accepting a shitty situation is a coward's way out.

Good luck. It's California, you're trying to whip up a tempest in a teapot relative to their voter-base.

> It sure sounds like you're okay with them both collecting it and giving out that level of detail.

Correct. I do not live in California but I am a licensed hunter elsewhere in the United States.
