Either Beeper manages to make a client that is truly indistinguishable from old iPhones, and gets to exist for a few years, or Apple somehow manages to patch all existing iPhones in a way that makes it impossible to spoof (not sure if that's possible with old hardware that don't have a secure enclave).

i suspect that TSMC doesn't have as big a monopoly as you've made it out to be, not because intel is competing, but because the customers of TSMC are large enough that they "force" the innovation (aka, they "threaten" to not use them if they stop innovating).

Also, TSMC hasn't been around long enough to become the slow behemoths that other big monopolies have become.

Well, it's relative: they're far more popular in America than any place else, where they're generally extinct.

> Do you have any actual interesting critiques of the wasm bytecode format and what it has failed to learn from Java bytecode or CLR bytecode or whatever?

I'm not OP, and I don't know if you could have figured this out by just looking at the bytecode formats that came before it, but I think the biggest design mistake of WASM is most likely it being a stack machine. It gives very little (if any?) practical benefits and it just massively complicates everything, both the compilers and the VMs.

I'm not speculating here. I have a pet VM that I'm developing for a register-based IR which achieves roughly the same execution performance of guest programs as wasmtime, but compiles them into native code 160 times faster, doesn't compromise on security, has a bytecode format which takes roughly as much space as WASM, and with an implementation that is vastly less complex (wasmtime's Cranelift is ~150k lines of code; my codegen is, maybe, ~2k lines of code, depending on how you count).
The “good fight” in this case is nothing but an attempt to “commoditize your complement”[1].

> I would love to learn more about this.

I think that's great. I'd encourage you to go looking for evidence your assumptions are wrong rather than looking for evidence that confirms it. This is a widespread misconception, so you'll find no shortage of think pieces to support your prior if you go looking for them. Evidence that this is in fact a misconception may be harder to come by, but you'll find it.

Something that helped it click for me was a friend walking me through their day step by step. In isolation, the experiences they were describing were struggles I and everyone else experiences to some degree. But seeing them arranged together made it click for me that their experience of life was just different.

I was trying to be comforting to them by telling them something like, "hey, we all feel that way sometimes, but you just pick yourself up by your bootstraps," but that wasn't the right approach because it wasn't a "motivation and discipline" issue. It was like I was giving them advice for troubleshooting Linux while they were on Windows, the machinery of their mind was simply of a different make.

Here's a metaphor that might help. It's pretty uncontroversial that cultures vary widely, and this often causes "culture shock" when visiting someplace foreign. Once I was in the Philippines, and the traffic patterns were illegible to me. It wasn't big cars in neat lanes, it was schools of motorcycles packed together and moving in all directions. I couldn't understand when it was my turn to cross the street and was almost hit several times.

If you accept that premise, is it any wonder that other people's minds would be entirely different places?
The religious beliefs that underlie these laws are the driving force. The people who hold these beliefs see the political system as a means to an end, and future losses do not matter if the goal is reached.

I grew up in an ultra conservative religious community, and as a kid, stuffed envelopes for a pro-life candidate’s campaign without fully understanding what it was I was doing, because I was a kid. I’ve seen the mindset up close, and it’s very worrisome.

Do think it’s ultimately short sighted because of the likely pendulum swing. But there is certainly a lot of damage to be done before that happens.
Yes, I've been in precisely that situation with precisely those vendors. We would get data in some weird proprietary format that was only readable in the vendor's awful desktop application.

We ended up spending a couple months reverse engineering these files (they ended up looking like database page tables or something) to finally break out of that ecosystem and get the data in our own databases.

It was a lot of work but absolutely worth it in the end. I have a feeling just the ability to natively read and convert those files is worth a lot but it's also the kind of thing that seems like it might be hard to sell...

I think the difference here is that Apple locks things down on Apple hardware running Apple software.

On the other hand, Google is trying to manipulate the market to gain an advantage over competitors on non Google hardware running Google software.

On the Apple side of things, the full vertical is Apple. That is not the case for Google.

You're told in no uncertain terms that it's not what you're paid for. You can do it "for fun", but it won't help on your evals even if your contribution to the discussion was critical (well, hopefully it still helps if thanks to that your project doesn't derail), and will be negative to you if you prioritized it over other "manegerial" taks.

That's one reason we sometimes saw managers just leave for a startup where nobody gives a shit about titles.

Interestingly for open source is the statement by Redhat on the call that multiple leaders were terminated and held accountable for not following DEI guidance on hiring. Depending on political point of view either something to celebrate or something to be upset about.

What is interesting is the level of commitment at IBM to DEI. Focus was on getting white / asian numbers down and hispanic / black up? I didn't listen to full thing.
That's a different argument. I was responding to you saying "This argument doesn't make any sense." to the attestation not being required. Whether you call that circumvention or not, ¯ \ _ ( ツ ) _ / ¯

The point was that if you can replicate it in software, then they're not requiring hardware attestation.

> I too leaned libertarian with let people do the drugs they want

... unless this harms other, isn't? Drug addicts are causing harm and are burden to society, so why libertarians support them?

In liberal philosophy, value of human life is infinite, thus all humans are equal, thus it's not allowed for someone to cause harm or abuse others. However, why we limit this to humans only? In my opinion, is a bacteria, virus, ideology, hate, chemicals, drugs, pollution, technical problems, climate change, ecology causes harm to humans, then it should be equal to harm done by a human directly.

Why it's illegal to shot someone, but legal to smoke weed near to someone, which leads to addiction and further death? IMHO, it's the same harm, but with extra steps.

Does yours?

I mean that in earnest, not as a dig. You're posting legal analysis without even rudimentary legal knowledge, and I think that's worth noting and responding to.

It's also worth noting you only admitted you were not an expert once your initial post was debunked, and that in your corrigendum you manage somehow to add many additional substantive legal claims. Without any apparent additional legal knowledge.

If you did the same on a programming topic, there'd be an army of people ready to downvote you, because most of the wonderful folks here on HN are versed in programming, and could easily see through that. But this doesn't hold true for law, and you're in a position to mislead. Noting that contributes to the discussion by helping a reader discriminate signal from noise.
If I was charitable yesterday, I would probably donate to an organisation that knows how not to spend it all in one day.
No. I think it shows an extreme lack of agency for someone to buy an Apple device that doesn’t meet their priorities instead of choosing one of the hundreds of Android devices?
This is the first I’ve heard the point that it’s hard to give employees equity at EU-based startups.

The fact that a git commit is literally a code snapshot...

Hey, git don't even store diffs at first place. All it store is the snapshot of all directory content. The diff git showed to you is actually generated on the fly. You can even just clone a single commit and get the content out of it if you are doing ci and don't need the complete history.

it sounds like the EU is going to slowly push on Apple t do the very thing Epic wants regardless. https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/11/08/apple-admits-thir...

Pure speculation: when combined with the LIDAR depth sensor, the two cameras probably don't need as much physical separation to accurately create a depth map.

This is true in one sense (that the jury doesn't always have the final word) but does not seem to actually argue against the point made in loaph's comment.

I think what loaph is saying is that a jury, when making a decision, can make any decision it wants, without consequences (except in exceptional cases, e.g. jury tampering).

The jury might never get to actually make a decision, and a guilty verdict can be overruled by a judgment notwithstanding the verdict (or as a result of an appeal, etc.), but legally, when a jury has made a decision, they can't be punished for making it, even if they were unreasonable in reaching that verdict.

- If it's not opt-in, it's not privacy respecting.

- IP is a significantly identifiable piece of information.

- Regardless, we have seen that as few as 4 pieces of individual data collected about a user is enough to identify someone 90% of the time (https://archive.nytimes.com/bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/01/2...)

- Browsers collect far more than 4.

User privacy is no longer something you can tiptoe around - it *has* to be informed and opt-in; i.e. if you slipped into someone's bed at night and had sex with them without consent, was it okay?

Apple was pretty careful not to make deals. For instance Microsoft and Epic both publicly complained about not getting deals.

Supposedly, the 15%-after-first-year rule for subscriptions that they instituted was because they were trying to entice Netflix to continue to take in-app payment for subscriptions. Rather than a sweetheart deal, they rolled it out as a platform change.

There are areas which I think are more questionable, such as their Apple TV partnerships with Amazon and a few others.

Even violent crimes might not be enough to get attention. I know a couple that was mugged at a gas station near the Oakland airport this past Thanksgiving. The muggers stole stuff from the car with their infant and toddler in it.

Even then, the clerk watched the whole thing while not calling 911. The police didn’t come out and would only take a report if they went to the station, which they ended up not doing.

If something like that isn’t even making it into the crime stats…

> If the user chose iOS maybe they chose it because they wanted the curated experience and the locked it product.

If no iOS user wants a 3rd party store, no one will install them, all of them will fail and we wouldn't be talking about this.

So why are Apple so afraid of a little competition? I think some iOS users (me) are willing to use other stores. And that's why Apple blocking it is anti-competitive.
Are there any circumstances under which a revenue-share agreement with employees (e.g. a commitment to split x% of revenue or x% of profit with employees as a bonus) gets considered any form of ownership, as opposed to simply compensation?

"Couldn't disagree more. As a counterargument, consider, for instance, the question of how it would be possible to write history without a connection to news (and other things) stored to archives?"

I agree, to state simply: news becomes history

So, my understanding of history is:
integral(news)dt + history_reading

I'd argue that watching the (news)dt occur also helps me to evaluate the quality/accuracy of the history_reading, to see how the sausage is made.

This happens all the time and is in practical use one of the best justifications for regulation.

There must be a more specific term for it I’m forgetting, but it is essentially the tragedy of the commons.

There are many things that are good for society where if one business did them, that business would lose market share or cease to exist, but it is in the public interest that the specific thing be done. Regulation is the proven answer there.

In this case the primary difference is we are talking about regulating cities instead of companies.
Typically, I take the Ayn Rand "objectivist" point of view on a lot of corporate shenanigans (read: the freedom to trade how they wish, accepting any consequences), but this is 100% fraud by Warner and Sony:

> Last week, Playstation owners who'd bought (or "bought") Warner TV shows got messages telling them that Warner had walked away from its deal to sell videos through the Playstation store, and so all the videos they'd paid for were going to be deleted forever. They wouldn't even get refunds (to be clear, refunds would also be bullshit – when I was a bookseller, I didn't get to break into your house and steal the books I'd sold you, not even if I left some cash on your kitchen table).
I understand the issues you experience. I don’t get the point you are trying to make.

I have a cheaper smartwatch and a dirty cheap robot cleaner.

Cheaper smartwatch has e-ink screen, notifications, payment, health monitors, etc. It doesn’t have all possible smart features, but in return I got 30d battery life.

Cheap robot vacuum cleaner is based on basic sensors, no lidar or recognition systems. It gets stuck in cables, it misses 10% of spots, but it captures 2 cup sized ball of dust every day.

I am happy with both. Especially because I researched and found what works for me. Maybe the ‘best’, ‘smartest’ and most expensive products in the market isn’t neccesaary what everybody needs?
>only Google Play Protect (part of the Play Store IIRC) can uninstall apps from user's devices with no interaction.

That sounds horrible. Why can a store decide to delete an app with no prior notice?

But it does seem Google has given more freedom to other apps to install apps. I guess it comes down to if that's still too many clicks or too fear mongering to count as "competitive".
> Sure and containers give you syscall restrictions and OS protections, but you don’t see people embedding containers inside of other applications.

It sounds like you're implying that C coders will opt out of the sandboxing provided by the OS, but that's not possible without coding kernel level code. For userland processes, the sandboxing isn't optional, and your process will be sent a SEGV signal if it tries to access memory it's not allowed to access.
