To claim that Israels use of this phrase (which explicitly calls for the removal/elimination of Palestinians) is ok while the Palestinian one is not is hypocritical.
France bans Signal and WhatsApp, thinks they are hacked
I think you misunderstand, I'm talking about a programmer who makes perfect, bug-free code in one shot. There are no bugs to catch and fix, because this "perfect" programmer never writes buggy code.

The moral of the sayings is, that "perfect" programmer is actually a bad programmer because he wouldn't know how to fix bugs by virtue of never needing to deal with them.

To reuse the driver analogy, the driver who never misses a turn is a bad driver because he doesn't know what to do when he does miss a turn.
I'm guessing that these days anything might need to be rebooted, including track themselves (I mean: there are misc detectors there).. Sometimes I'm in awe how strong the overarching duct tape is :)
Here is the actual press release.

It's just become a meme among tech enthusiasts (on Reddit, HN, etc) and tech journalists that "blue bubbles" are a real social problem. The origin of the meme was this amusing post by Paul Ford 8 years ago [1]. They took it and ran with it for their own purposes. For some it was to explain away the iPhone's success versus Android and for some interested actors like Epic it was part of their antitrust campaigning to illustrate the "lock in" effects. It however was never a social problem in the real world (more than, say, young people feeling depressed about seeing their peers' manicured lives on Instagram) or the reason why iPhones sell well (you only had to look to China, or now India, to see the success of the iPhone in places where iMessage wasn't the dominant messenger).

Wait, how do they run cloud with iMessage?
Some people are confused sure, but honestly it is quite obvious that a lot of time when people say "Zionists" they actually just mean "Jews".

Looking at comments online, i'd argue that around 90%+ when someone uses the word "Zionism" they are just bigots.

If you genuinely want to criticize israel, just critique the country and its actions, the same you would do for any other country, no need to start talking about "Zionists" etc.

Take a moment to say this out loud to yourself, so you can hear how fucking ridiculous it sounds. Notwithstanding the trivialization of actual racism, it's just a throughly silly statement.
Between a systemd switch and having your data stolen i can live with the systemd issue. Simps can use microsoft products all they want.

Every person I interact with in the EU uses iMessage. Let’s avoid making sweeping generalizations.
> and Apple does not offer 2FA / OTPs via SMS

Last time I checked, Apple still used security questions any hacker can get answers to on Facebook. I'm not all that confident about Apple's approach to account security.

Apple has the ability to control security issues on Android: they can release an Android app, like every other E2EE messenger out there.

Apple chooses not to, and it's their choice, of course. It doesn't care about the privacy of it's non-users, and it doesn't care about the privacy of its users when they communicate with non-users. From what I can tell, it only cares if you stay within the Apple bubble.
Microsoft says it does not own any portion of OpenAI
Absolutely hilarious. Did people actually think this was going to be allowed? iMessage is a huge moat and only an act of Congress or a case verdict will force their hand. Maybe the EU legislation might.
> Israel has been prospering more or less, and of course it's a gamble but that's true either way (for example, there could be better and cheaper missile defense tech coming soon, so the risk of war would be lower)

They constantly say (understandably) how unhappy they are, they are attacked, etc. Look at the current situation. They don't seem satisfied at all.

> it's silly to suffer for so long just due some specific piece of land when you already have land.

That's not why, or not the only reason. The story is that Arafat (Palestine) rejected the two-state (IIRC) resolution in the 1990s, possibly for that reason. But these days the Israelis have opposed a two-state solution for many years.

Also, it's easy to dismiss others' claims.

And the argument is novel in international relations: Do we dismiss China's claim to Taiwan on the basis that China already has (far more) land? Ukraine's claim to their east and south? Etc.

Is that meant to be exculpatory? If you say that you're attacking military targets that are (allegedly) embedded within civilian infrastructure and that you're focused on damage rather than accuracy, you are telling me that you intend to massacre civilians.
Yes, so how do you determine whether an image on someone’s computer is consensual or non consensual? Where do you draw the line? If I draw an image that looks like someone and it’s only on my own computer?
I have not read this article. I am sad to see it here. I am Jewish and Hacker News has been my one sanctuary from all that has been going on. I feel a dreadful sadness about this whole situation, and unfortunately I have found that any issue I have looked into in any detail descends into a battle of claim and counterclaim. I have had to just give up and let it play out, not only what has happened and what will happen in Israel and Gaza, but also the battle of words on social media and newspapers. It is too painful for me to interact with.
It's not about making the music sound better anymore than getting rid of an internal combustion engine is about getting you there faster. Have you ever seen the size of the wires in a car that go the amplifiers? They're as thick as your thumb.

The move to 48V means much less power is lost (power loss = (IxI)xR ), cables can be much smaller, cables and terminals can be much lighter and much less copper can be used used.

Basically it's just a more efficient way of doing things.
I am thinking these are the first stars formed after the Big Bang (when there was only Hydrogen and Helium and some Lithium), but those stars don't live very long.

How do you see implementing that politically? What constituency is there?
This is where feature flags come in. When you use feature flags to support development you ship code straight to production — but your work is hidden behind that glad while development is under way. So in practice you merge your PRs immediately to master (and deploy).

Essentially you’re decoupling release from development here. This supports any number of QA practices. (We don’t have dedicated QA at the moment and instead have a biweekly “mob QA” session where we do a group deep dive into our current work.) We will capture most small fixes and improvements as sub tasks on the appropriate story (or file a bug ticket if the story was already done and we discovered a new issue.)

As a result of the above we don’t use long lived feature branches which become painful and slow, process wise. We just merge immediately after review. (Unmentioned but this is of course supported by automated testing and continuous deployment.)

"American Chestnut Foundation is No Longer Supporting Development of D58 Transgenic Chestnut Tree Line" would be a better title.

This is a disappointing result as the D58 line appears to have problems described in the article. However, it seems that multiple parallel efforts are ongoing with other transgenic attempts as well as more traditional back-cross methods. The road to American Chestnut restoration appears to have encountered a significant setback but promising research is still ongoing.

Relatedly, I saw many American Chestnut trees on the Shawangunk Ridge over the summer. Several were blooming. Not sure whether they bore fruit (chestnuts). This is not uncommon. Of course, they eventually become blighted and die, but they can still attain a respectable size (20-30 feet?)
Needs a title change to "American Chestnut Foundation Ceasing Distribution of Blight-Resistant Seeds that were found to be flawed"
I understand your perspective on this, and I’m certainly not saying it’s wrong. But there’s some background you should consider.

GitLab CE instructions used to be the default. Paying customers would find they installed GitLab CE by default and run it, and then want to use features. They’d have to install GitLab EE over it. Well if they’re a year or two behind in upgrades, that transition can be painful and require services.

This created alot of anger and frustration from enterprises who paid for GitLab or wanted to convert to paying for GitLab. The solution was simple; install GitLab EE by default per the instructions. Because FOSS folks will search out the free editions. Yet customers won’t; and they’ll get caught with the CE edition unable to migrate to EE.

The move wasn’t one built on bad faith to move people to paid versions; or somehow bury the CE versions. It was to reduce paid customer frustrations. Even now GitLab docs talk about running GitLab directly from source.
The alternative phones outside the duopoly exist.

I am not in the position to judge that.
But reducing spam on iMessage is beneficial for Apple customers, and as a customer, I want Apple to be able to do that.
You can get far past those limitations with nufli, which uses sprite layers and some other trickery.

OpenAI Acknowledges GPT-4 Getting "Lazier"
Sorry, meant OTP
I've wished that students would be required to hand their semester long project to the person next to them each week.
SMS is handled by carriers, so google couldn't really block messages from iPhone users specifically. And that's not considering what an incredibly bad move it would be for them if they could somehow reject only iPhone texts.
I was only giving an example of an Apple product that _I_ love, and can just as easily described my iPhone, except I think and Android is probably just as good, or very close, where the Macbook Air's leaped ahead of competition.

But anyway, this is only _my_ beloved product, and I certainly hadn't even considered a disability that would get in the way, and apologize for my ignorance. I hope you can find some setup that works well for you specifically that you end up loving :)

Truly sorry—certainly didn't mean to offend.
I don't really think that software engineering is a trade per se. I think it is a much more creative activity that requires a lot more baseline knowledge. I think an automotive engineer is to a mechanic as a software engineer is to an IT administrator. There is still a fair amount of creativity and knowledge required for being a mechanic or IT admin, but I don't think it's nearly the same amount.

Software engineering is interesting, though, because it does not require as much formal education as many other engineering fields to get a job. I think this is in part because it is very economically valuable (in the US at least) and because the only tool you need is a computer with an Internet connection.

With all of that said, I think SWE is probably closer to a trade than other engineering disciplines, but not by all that much.
The competitive CS schools where many of the students needed good sample code projects have an innate sense of building quality software. Usually because they know it'll be showcased, but also because they haven't gotten lazy with shortcuts or been overly managed to spend time developing instead of fixing. I thought it was funny the article referenced the famous umbrella monster. Here is the longer clip: https://coub.com/view/284lib
I've found the only true way out of this hellish situation is to work at a place mature enough for the leadership to already understand all this.

If you have to explain why quality matters, they're at least as ignorant as you if not more. They deserve their fate. The upshot is you'll probably also get paid way better and more quickly develop a better sense of how business is supposed to be done at a mature company.

Of course you also have to deliver on your promises that all the time you're spending will improve things and isn't just some amateur quixotic itch.
Even if you're legitimately attempting to analyze political preferences or skew on social media, it seems incredibly inappropriate to be basing that analysis on someone who makes purely biased claims in all of their social media posts. There are so many analytical flaws in the graphs he provides, that they really shouldn't be used for anything.

They've selectively[1] searched for multiple Palestine hashtags, which all show up under the same base hashtag[2], but then count all of the hashtags as separate data points -- and then compares them to a singular Israel hashtag that includes an emoji, which won't include most results regarding Israel. What's worse, is that including a Palestine hashtag doesn't remotely guarantee that the post is pro-Palestine or anti-Israel, and the same is true for posts including Israel hashtags not necessarily being pro-Israel, which can also be seen in [2]. In reality, the #palestine hashtag is used in pro-Israel posts all the time, so the sweeping generalizations made by Anthony Goldbloom aren't based on any legitimate statistical methodology.

Instead of echoing Goldbloom's manipulation of data as factual, it should be used as an example of pro-Israel disinformation and entirely backs the article's claim. In fact, even Goldbloom admits that he made mistakes[3], and the other graph was made by him and not the company who conducted the survey, who actually disputes his claim.

I think it could even be argued that your comment, without any supporting facts other than a very pro-Israel Twitter pundit who already debunked himself, is contributing to the misinformation discussed in the article, even if you're doing so unintentionally.

Their clients and partners include The World Bank, UN, Save the Children, European Commission, USAID, CARE International (https://www.awrad.org/en/article/10467/Partners--Clients-201...) and their polling dates back to at least 2007: https://www.awrad.org/files/server/analysis.pdf

But if you don't believe these numbers, here is one from the Washington Institute in July 2023:

"Overall, 57% of Gazans express at least a somewhat positive opinion of Hamas"

"But it is organizations like Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and Lion’s Den that receive the most widespread popular support in Gaza. About three quarters of Gazans express support for both groups, including 40% who see the Lion’s Den in a “very positive” light, an attitude shared by a similar percentage of West Bank residents."

> It just makes you appear as a "blue bubble" to people who are on iMessage.

Received messages on iPhones show up as neither blue nor green. They always have a gray background. The blue and green bubbles are the colors of the messages sent by the iPhone users on their own phones. Recipients, on other iPhones, will see messages with a gray background regardless of whether it was sent with iMessage or SMS/MMS.
Agreed with all of this. I'm happy to see others who care about these issues- all too often on HN that's not the case :-\
> But suggesting that Israel has no right to exist as a Jewish state is antisemitic as it implies ethnic cleansing.

As opposed to what's happening right now - which is ethnic cleansing in both Gaza and the West Bank. Netanyahu wants to "thin out the Gaza population" and is asking for the US and other countries to accept refugees after Israel destroys the place.

One is speech, and the other is action - one is being argued about, while the other is actively happening with 20k+ deaths.
I'm saying that if we hold something to a higher standard lets actually hold them to a higher standard.

The headline here does not come from the original article and is misleading. The actual article title is "Darling D58".

The closest subheading matching the title given here is "Why TACF is No Longer Supporting Development of D58 or Deregulation of the Darling Line."

The American Chestnut Foundation is still most certainly pursuing its mission to reseed America with blight-resistant seeds. Just they've discovered that a previously promising line of seeds (Darling D58) is actually seriously flawed and efforts to work with that particular line will be abandoned.
While it would ruin the experience in practice (not being able to receive any notifications), I don't see why someone couldn't perfectly reverse engineer the protocol.

Beeper made several design decisions that made the app super easy to use (i.e. using a single certificate that wasn't supplied by a user's phone), but if you extract the necessary source material from an old jailbroken iDevice, you could create an iMessage clone that Apple can't ban without either legal action or breaking compatibility with all easily jailbroken iOS devices.

Back in the days of AIM and MSN, even large companies used reverse engineering to get chat interoperability, and it was so successful that AIM left open an RCE vulnerability to push shellcode so that Microsoft couldn't chat through their service.
How would third-party clients _increase_ security (other than indirectly, by people using SMS less)? On the contrary, third-party clients is a gigantic security hole, since Apple can't even know if a client app is spying on users.
The actual conflict on the ground is about territory and resources. But lots of other people are interested because they were raised to believe that events happening in 'the holy land' thousands of years ago have deep, ongoing, and eternal significance for them as individuals. That's why a great many people care about this that would not care about similarly bloody conflicts in other countries, even nearby ones (eg Kurdistan or the Syrian civil war).

I don't adhere to an Abrahamic religion and frankly dislike monotheism on general principle. But while I don't believe in any of this, it's a fact that huge numbers of people do for different reasons. For example US Evangelicals are obsessed with events in Israel because many of them consider conflict there to be the harbinger of the Apocalypse prophesied in the Book of Revelation. The principal military and political actors in this conflict may be privately secularist or only nominally religious, but they're quite willing to leverage religion for financial and political capital.

Of course they're convinced. They had their 11S to convince them of attacking a dense city full of people. The fifth military budget in the world by GDP wasn't able to detect a breach in a hyper secured wall with 24/7 cameras and reacted several hours later killing a lot of his own people. We need to carefully review and research the facts because this seems a reverse false flag event. A desired event for zionists in order to justify carpet-bombing a city to kill, displace and clear the zone for future settlers.
