You would also have to not use a phone in general, since your carrier always knows where you are, by the nature of how cellular networks work. Your phone has a unique hardware identifier that is linked to your identity, and every tower knows which phones pinged it recently. Two towers are two points in a triangle, and you're the third.

Carriers constantly perform triangulation and keep records of phones' coordinates, which of course can be subpoenaed, and may be available more freely to government agencies, depending on how much abusive surveillance your local government does. Carriers have also sold this information to data brokers in the past.
Moving demand is far easier said than done. A lot of people erroneously assume that the rest of the grid is like a house where you can install a power all and schedule your dryer to run during the day. But the power grid is running a whole bunch of utilities and industrial systems like the pumps running your sewage, traffic lights, telecoms, etc.
Well whatever its capabilities are, we know it has no unused variables.

This is exactly right. Green bubble chats require more effort and are less fun.

You can't leave a green bubble chat. You can't send messages from your computer or non-iPhone devices (Apple has message forwarding, but it's unreliable). Pictures look awful, videos look worse. Read receipts don't work. Tapbacks/emoji/stickers/memoji/etc don't work. It's a drag to remember all these limitations.

I grudgingly got an iphone in 2019 for work. I no longer work there but now I'm locked into blue bubble chats with family. I've been trying to use Beeper to solve this it's not reliable enough yet.

(if RCS wasn't such a dog's breakfast, I might make more of an effort. Even when Messages supports RCS, the experience will still suck)
I think vim users highly overestimate their productivity and just like the way using hotkeys feels.
This three class developer system on iOS is ridiculous.
There's the normal developer who can do little more on iOS that you couldn't also do with a web app.
There's the "blessed" developer with special entitlements that lets them violate the privacy of their users in new and fun ways and also provide features nobody else can so the normal developers can't compete with their app.
And then there's Apple and for their apps, the restrictions everyone else has to deal with are little more than suggestions. Wouldn't want third party apps to compete with Apple's on their own platform.

If there's a legitimate use for these entitlements, everyone should be able to use them. And the ultimate choice for what an App should and shouldn't be able to do should be in the users' hands.
But Apple needs to protect their shareholders from this horrid vision of the future.
I see. Might you or others recommend some virtual credit card products?
Luck is spelled W.O.R.K.
Thats not what you said before, so thats not what im saying now. Read the last sentence of the post i replied to if you're confused
privacy.com has cards like that.
Can’t you remotely deprovision the machine?
> Beeper could have come up with a new messaging app for iOS.

But the point of Beeper was to bring iOS compatibility to non-Apple devices. There’s a literal XKCD comic about creating new standards.

> They didn’t have to reverse-engineer iMessage.

Sure. But that’s not a reason not to do something. The literal same remark can be used against Apple too:

“Apple didn’t need to break support for Beeper”

“Apple didn’t need to make iMessage proprietary”

Etc

For what it’s worth, I’m not against Apple per se. In fact I’m typing this on an iPhone. I’m just commenting about how locked in messaging has become and how it’s weird that people are ok with that (or more precisely, only ok with it when it’s an Apple protocol).
Running my daily driver off of a Steam Deck, and found this while methodically exploring the 'Discover' Flathub store. Love it.

As an aside, AMA if interesting in running Steam OS as your daily driver.
That’s adjudication of “soft” rules around permission optionality, which is a big problem, but nothing that lets apps bypass permissions outright.
It doesn't take any skill to install a chrooted Linux environment or RDP/SSH client on a Fire Stick or Android phone, and said skill is orthogonal to hacking skills that could be deemed dangerous to society at large.

The fact that this is explicitly brought up smells like they're trying to make this guy sound much more dangerous & evil than he really is. After all, had he discovered/used zero-days or developed exploits, that would be a real talking point, but if the only thing they've got is "he managed to get a shell on an android device" this smells of clutching at straws.
I listened to an entire Kindle book this way many years ago. I imagine / hope Siri's screenreading only got better in that time.

I think you need to set the Kindle app to continuous scrolling (in which case it won't work with older books), then you trigger the iOS screenreading shortcut, and off it goes.
No to mention that most SQL databases have complex consistency rules. Just checking that the target row exists (or not) before adding (or deleting) a record may not result in a correct database state in the face of concurrent transactions.

You better very carefully read your database's concurrency guarantees and ensure that all transactions are running with the right consistency level otherwise you will have a bad day.

On top of that the JOIN method of following foreign keys often leads to missing rows if expected keys don't exist which can be very hard to debug.
I know there are other options, but here's the relevance:

"Go, also known as Golang, is recognized for its simplicity, efficiency, and cross-platform capabilities. Its ease of use has made it an attractive choice for malware authors seeking to create versatile and sophisticated threats."

They also mention it's a "growing trend in malware development"
The other impact of this strategy is very very slow narration. Stretch each word out. I feel I need to listen to most books at 1.5 speed just to get back to a normal
cadence of speech.
GP's point was that it's not the number of pixels, but the power draw that matters here (for power consumption) and while there are more greens they are smaller and draw less.

This design pattern happens because humans are more sensitive to greens, but that doesn't mean you need more green output.
Probably not measurable
Well, at least they are starting to take memory safety seriously.
I agree that it's a fuzzy scale. What I usually pick out isn't the amounts of stuff but how much of it either goes against the grain or piles on abstractions without a simplifying payoff (reduced cognitive load). Basically it comes down to picking the right set of abstractions (choosing your chunks/seams) and good naming since the factors which are being separated aren't vague.

Few things are 50/50--those cases rather tend to be "no one really knows yet".

My phrasing is "you'll know good code when it's shown to you" where "you" is myself for my own work.
They degrade the user experience to profit off their own customers. Same thing with soldering down storage on Macs. It's really effective.
Determining my house or even room level location is not at all equivalent to making an HTTP call.

And Apple does generally prompt for location permissions, as does Google on Android.
The biggest issue is in the US, most phones are iPhones, so most people are using iMessage by default.

Because of Apple's actions, this has led to android users being ridiculously ostracized and discriminated again[0][1].

It's not that there are not alternatives, it's that iPhone users are unlikely to switch to those alternatives, leaving Android users no choice but to continue to be discriminated against if they want to talk to the majority.

This a uniquely US thing. It's very strange.

Yeah will the doctor provide that information for free or do they hold that information hostage by making me pay them a fee for consultation? Just tell me the results of the tests over the phone, no need to rip me off.

It's criminal behavior disguised as concern.
From the article:

This is surprising because gas cooking is considered a "premium" feature here in NC, and people look for it during their house search. Personally, it is a better cooking experience than electric. Induction might be the best, but it's still expensive.
Ok. Ignore the dollar amount.

His actions have physically injured people, destroyed property, and caused hundreds or thousands of people to spend otherwise productive time on fixing things.

This wasn’t some hacker poking around because he could. He was stealing assets and then trying to ransom them back. He also just straight up stole crypto.
So much this. OAuth and their ilk are, in my opinion, not trustable and suffer from real usability issues.
They can be obscured though, like the car one car ahead of you suddenly braking. With additional radio communication that wouldn't be an issue. Tesla used to brag about the radar being able to bounce under the car in front of you to the car in front of it, but I think stopped talking about that when they removed radar.
Why can't you use vim and VSCode? I use the neovim extension for VSCode[1] and it works great! That gets me real vim input and the VSCode extension ecosystem.

Technical brilliance doesn't mean they're worth the risk and danger. Someone who's documented as physically violent is simply a liability to all other employees they're around. Even without the physical danger he presents intelligence orgs don't want people with broken moral compasses, they want people with unwavering moral compasses that align with their missions. If someone's just in it for fame or money some adversary is always going to be able to offer more of both.
My rule of thumb has been: enable them strictly in DEV and INT environments, disable in PROD. They can catch schema discrepancies, but can impede ingestion rates.

Also some referential errors are sort of ok in PROD, as long as it's only about not dropping user data; which can be dealt with later on (INT gets reset with PROD user data from a backup each week, it also helps in the restore plan, fk are enabled, errors are caught, then data gets pruned heavily)

If referential integrity is a business-level bug, then of course we should enable them.
This is a corporate device management facility. It exists for both Windows and Macs.

With Macs, it’s more closely tied to the hardware because of course they’re integrated.

With PCs, Intune and Autopilot are Windows features that depend on hardware, but hardware alone isn’t sufficient. You can install and run Linux or DOS all you want on an Autopilot enrolled device, but every time you boot Windows it will want to phone home.

It’s fairly carefully controlled. With a PC, serial number is not sufficient. You need a device specific hash that is not generated and that you can’t get until you turn on the computer at least once, so you need physical possession at some point in the workflow.

With Macs, Apple more completely manages those first stages of enrollment. Devices are enrolled when sold through a B2B channel, or when manually enrolled through Business Manager.

Either way, it would be difficult for an adversary to assume control of a device without authorization. Not impossible, surely, but it’s definitely a scenario these vendors have anticipated and worked to prevent.

The good news for device owners is that it adds complexity to resale of a stolen device.

The bad news is things like OP’s situation occur.
You can go to privacy.com and create an account. You then link your real credit cards or bank accounts for payment source.

Privacy.com also has a browser extension and a mobile app. So it's easy to create/manage virtual credit cards per service. You can also create single use virtual credit cards that automatically close after a single transaction with a limit that you can set.
Intel plans spinoff of FPGA unit
It doesn’t really help. They get off the streets into a mini home for example, or maybe a spot in a RV park, or hotel room. But the city pays $10k/month for that, since housing an addict requires a lot more maintenance and services than housing someone sober, and that’s not even treating their addiction. The costs are unsustainable, the treatment isn’t available or they dont want to go (it’s not jail, they can’t be forced to go to treatment).

And again, treatment doesn’t even work most of the time, especially if the patient is unwilling. We are just throwing away our money here when we could focus it on the non-addicted homeless instead, get them housed, and prevent them from getting addicted to drugs. Sober housing helps these people a lot, and could prevent the problem from getting worse, because once they start doing drugs, it’s pretty much over.
OP here. Yeah, it’s also extremely low-risk. The sensitive part of the algorithm is the embeddings. This part is just making the group human readable.

The reason I didn’t do mistral the first time is because I’m lazy. I gave myself 3-4 hours to get a first pass done, and getting a local model running seemed unnecessarily difficult. It would be a great addition though.
I would be inclined to agree, but I'm reminded of passages from Edwin Black's book [1] depicting the capriciousness of medical providers. E.g. a board of doctors was typically responsible for sterilization decisions in America when eugenics was mainstream during the early 1900s. It seems reasonable that doctors should be final arbiters of medical decisions, as in releasing this aforementioned hacker from a mental hospital. But the book revealed how these doctors would often inconsistently apply their sterilization standards to favor prominent local families whilst punishing the usual victims, i.e. minorities and poor whites.

In this regard, I find this case deeply disturbing, and would prefer if he simply got a definite sentence.

This is sort of half true. It appears to act biologically on serotonin, which affects anxiety, but the mechanism is the nervous system damage (as well as reducing the efficiency of oxygen diffusion in tissue, found recently in Nature study). Given the two, it appears long Covid is 1. Serotonin syndrome and 2. Affects oxygen diffusion, which together cause a variety of vague but real symptoms. Benzos addressing anxiety would give temporary relief from the serotonin dysregulation/depletion.
Absolutely, we need to be doing the exact opposite and welcoming and praising people who join us. I’ll say it now: welcome! I’m glad you’re here. We will not make headway with this issue by yelling louder at each other or being more obstinate. What you did is actually hard to do, challenging your own beliefs and changing your mind. That’s commendable.

To be honest, I think if we could strip all existing talking points on both sides, and get people to truly derive their own personal conclusions from scratch, I would expect the vast majority of people to be both in favor of women having absolute autonomy over their health care and body choices, and also in favor of trying to avoid abortion as a contraceptive if we can, avoiding late abortions, and hopefully using it only or mostly as a tool to treat bad situations. In other words, I would expect a lot of people to have the exact stance you’re arriving at - that we need to allow people to do what they need to, and we still hope that abortion isn’t happening excessively or willy-nilly or late without medical necessity. The core idea behind the two camps, the ‘pro-‘ position of each side, is not necessarily in opposition at all, so it’s funny it’s gotten so extreme and presented as completely opposites.
I wonder if it is possible, as an Apple developer, to query "permissions requested" via some other channel ?

I don't know anything about the ways Apple developers interface with the app store to submit or update or index their apps ... is it through xcode ?

I wonder if there is some function in that toolchain that actually does what I am proposing ...
Im not here to discuss HN and I’m not getting dragged into your strawman arguments. So ending our discussion here.

I just moved from a home with induction range to one with gas range and I feel like I am on crazy pills waiting for anything to happen now. I get that things like extreme control and wok cooking are a bit difficult on induction, but at least it's ~possible.

A consumer gas range simply doesnt put enough effective power into the cookware. This isnt only about boiling water quickly. This is about getting a pan hot enough fast enough to maintain a certain cooking style, even if its kind of half-assed. It might not be perfect, but I can make what I think is really good stir fry on a quality induction range (i.e. one that will actually tolerate movement of the pan without cutting power).

I had enough time to order an 1800w portable induction unit while I waited for my kettle to boil via fire this morning.

Even the cleanup is 10x better on induction.

I totally get the “this sucks it should be better argument”. And I get people wanting laws to fix it.

What I have trouble with are the people who confuse that with existing law say Apple is doing illegal things, which has been sadly common in these threads.

> pre-2008 their resources were spent on their fab, post-2008 they simply had no resources

this underplays the AMD board refusing a merger with NVIDIA (because jensen wanted to be CEO of the resulting company and hector ruiz didn't like that), and then overpaying for ATI and leaving themselves depleted of funds.

(staff writer, not blog "contributor") https://www.forbes.com/sites/briancaulfield/2012/02/22/amd-t...

Bulldozer/etc could have gone very differently if they hadn't been broke and forced to underinvest. They might not have ever been in the position of "consoles having to carry them" if they had simply done a merger-of-equals with NVIDIA, or if they had simply walked away from the graphics market afterwards instead of rushing to buy ATI.

A lot of people just can't bring themselves to admit that good decisions had a large role in putting NVIDIA where they are today, and that bad decisions had a large role in putting AMD where they were in the late 2000s/early 2010s. It wasn't just bad things happening to AMD - the bad things happened because of bad decisions, they were consequences of actions.

People overfixate on the Intel thing as being the root of all of AMD's woes, as opposed to the other 75% of the problem that they could control. Like hector ruiz was just an utter disaster all around, not just even this one thing. And even today, AMD does discounts/rebates for bulk purchases. And the best rebates come if you buy all of your hardware from them (and thus, none from your competitor) - same as Intel did, which is why the decision was eventually significantly reduced. The eventual finding was - like many things, it may or may not be anticompetitive, depending on how you use it - but volume rebates and even outright exclusivity agreements are not inherently illegal in the way AMD fans generally imply they are. Ask Pepsi.

vgmusic.com was my bread and butter 20 years ago. I had such a big midi collection. That was until I discovered nsf and spc files that reproduced the sound accurately, then later on mp3s and still later video game music on Spotify.
In that case they often already have a fob to enter shared (secured) parking anyway, that also works on doors, and is registered with the building management...
Better to look at what people do than what they say for the real truth.
Yeah, I wouldn't call it just luck, but I refuse to accept that they saw AI coming and blowing up like that any more than anybody else. It worked out for them that they created cuda (btw how much of that was related to acquiring that company that made physX and the according accelerator card?) and decided to stick with it, improve on it, and supply developers with superb tools. But again, I don't think there ever specifically was AI in that planning. It seemed like a step-by-step thing, provide additional value eg to games with physics simulation that would give gamers a reason to buy Nvidia over ati (as if driver quality alone wasn't already a strong argument ;)).

The wise decision was to keep pushing cuda and not dropping the ball on it to cut costs in the short run, and realizing the potential of using it for scientific computation early on. Then one thing led to another. When AI came around, cuda was the only mature and serious framework for the job.

Not really -- in practice, it generally means all inserts are done as a transaction, and deletes simply aren't done.

Then there isn't really any opportunity for inconsistent data.
Sometimes reading articles like these are a good well to alleviate any accumulating imposter syndrome. "Oh, I'm interfacing with a third party system for something that represents an abstract actor. it better have a stable, non-stringy reliable identifier". And yes, the spec is very clear about this, beyond just basic considerations of building a remotely robust system.
Yes but, in Apple's eyes, Who is the owner?
It’s not an abuse any more than Google doing the same damn thing with Google messenger! Your phone number is registered there too by the way.

Google is pushing RCS only because they are completely incapable of making their own protocol and lord you know they have tried (gchat, hangouts, allo, and now messenger)

And by the way, RCS is entirely carrier dependent. It’s awful. I wish my friends could also use iMessage but Apple is well within their rights to stop people from using their network against their terms of service.

"Mind you, the integrated system plan was released last week and it did emphasise that although it is likely to be a renewable future, we'll still need gas as a supporting technology."

Even ignoring times without sunlight they're nowhere close to full renewable saturation anyway (no one is), so considering it's cheaper for the bulk of use it seems like the prudent investment.
Note that this was written in 2016 in the context of a mysql-centric project. You will not find an "unchanging strong opinion that foreign keys should not be used" outside that context.
