Why? Its clear after 2 attempts that Apple is serious about continuing to break their business model, so why keep fighting a company with unlimited resources that has their sights set on you?

Did you miss the part about assaulting staff and property destruction.

Its pretty clear that the kid poses a danger and doesn't understand that he needs to stop.

This isn't a youthful prank/indiscretion that went too far. This kid was on trial for causing millions in damages, and then did it again while on trial.

Yeah, institutionalizing people has a horrendous history, but this kid is incredibly destructive, and has proven that cannot control himself or will go out of his way to do the wrong thing. The only viable alternative to a supervised medical setting is jail for him.
Some folks simply cannot be satisfied with a warning and must stick the fork in the outlet for themselves.
Well, in a nutshell, what changed is that the right of the people to own and accumulate property and extract rent from it, is enshrined in the law and enforced. Also, which less important but provides an important safety valve against government misbehaviour, people are free to travel abroad, reside, and work everywhere else in the EU - so a government can't take these freedoms away: bailing from EU means quick end of everything, it's just technically impossible no matter how hard they try, and taken capitalist freedom away means people will vote with their feet. That's a pretty huge difference, no matter which particular group of people is now in power.
And I'm not sure of the value. If an email reply saying "I agree to this" is sufficient then I'm not sure what having a skeuomorth signature adds to the process.

That’s kind of why I’ve been very surprised by this whole thing.

Apple made an Apple service for Apple users.

Because no one else has succeeded in the US at taking over a large chunk of the market Apple became de facto bad and loses their rights.

As almost every thread has pointed out, this situation is very unique to the US. Almost everywhere else other apps have taken over. So it’s not like Apple is PREVENTING people from using other apps. People just like it better.

Just like most people like Google better as their search engine. It has a huge market share too but no one seems mad about that. (Their tying that to advertising IS horrible, but not an angle in the iMessage analogy)

And as you said, Apple has announced RCS support. So I wonder if any of this will even matter much in a year or so.
The hand wringing about luck can be annoying. Bringing it up is mostly useful to empathize with other people and be humble. Hard work without luck rarely works out. But luck without hard work rarely works out either (unless you're insanely lucky). Never doing anything because "luck" will guarantee you're never lucky.

Use luck to be humble, use luck to empathize, use luck to build people up, but don't use luck to tear people down.
Yep. Had a friend ironically get an Apple Demo Management configured Apple TV from an Apple Store. That was a quick trip back...
Anti green bubble discrimination is directly responsible for the rise of large amounts of incels in America.

Make no mistake, it’s a meme among gen Z about how if a man has an android phone, they better hide it for at least 3 dates as a woman seeing them having an android phone is enough to get them ghosted on subsequent dates.

There are literally hundreds of articles written about green bubble discrimination in the dating world. Before the knee jerk downvoted, please google my claims and read some of them.
TCP/IP was neither a consortium nor an open initiative. You’re missing the critical point. When TCP showed up there weren’t losers or anything else. It has no relationship to the problem I am describing.

Well it could have happened but have required a non gpu-friendly architecture, it could have happened in 80 years from now and nvidia be long gone, etc.

In retrospect, missed schedule falls into two big causes:

- Unplanned Work

- Planned Work That Didn't End Up Mattering

A prerequisite to No Unplanned Work is Knowing All The Work. To get from a hypothesis of the work, to a validated understanding of the work, requires there to be Value Delivery, i.e. you've already demonstrated you understand at least institutionally how to get an increment of value delivered into the hands of a customer, which is how you validate that the Work Ended Up Mattering.

(Consequently, any work that hasn't been validated by a customer, is actually only hypothetical work, as we have not validated that the Work Ended Up Mattering.)

So you want to establish an end-to-end "throughline" as rapidly as possible so you can start iterating and setting up your feedback loops which facilitate work discovery and value validation.

So you're saying we should all drive with a 10 car buffer, then?

The only comments saying that are...yours. If your argument is so lacking that you need to argue in bad faith, perhaps it is best to not bother at all.

Or perhaps you are not aware of the proper following distance (and therefore, part of the problem about which you complain). Two car lengths (EDIT: seconds, not car lengths; oops) is the general advice.

I might be a minority here who thinks this was a useless waste of effort and money. Who paid for it? Whose problems does it solve? I doubt if many who use non ios ecosystem would pay for it in the first place, not to mention the fact that you need to rely on Apple to be friendly. It was destined for failure IMO. For the reference my household has multiple different devices and we fall back to text messages or some other app.

> Beeper Mini is beautiful, fast and fun. Our main goal with the app is to upgrade chats between iPhone and Android users from unencrypted green bubble SMS to encrypted, fully featured blue bubble chats.

Can someone help me understand a big question about iMessage? What makes iMessage so special that it needs to run on android?

There are plenty of other cross platform applications for messaging that fit the quoted needs. WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram are a few examples. If end users care about “upgraded chats”, they can simply use one of those and ask those whom they message to also use those apps.

Am I missing something? What makes iMessage so special?

Idiots who are rejected by women will blame anything except their own behavior.

There are plenty of men who have android phones who date women with iPhones.

Even if the bubble color were the same those men would be rejected anyway for not having an iPhone. I guess the government should mandate all phones look the same to prevent further discrimination against those without iDevices.
So is complaining on blogs uselessly for over a decade while expecting things to change.

And the overall point isn’t simply that unions will fix open offices so much as some sort of solution rooted in collective action is required.

It’s also an illustration that as a professional class, software engineers and tech workers in general really don’t have as much power in their industry as their comp and perks would illustrate. Especially in times of economic pullback.

Well it’s just another variation of overnight success taking a decade or two of preparation and, honestly, quiet pain and suffering.

I remember talking to Jason Fried about this with 37 signals. A lot of people didn’t realize the grind that team had before things finally clicked.

Life in prison for non-violent crime clearly sounds like revenge and sour grapes. The big guys clearly don't appreciate having their insecurity being exposed this way (keep in mind none of these hacks required any significant technical skills), and too many people would lose face. Something had to be done, so here it is.

The disparity of this punishment compared to what is usually given out for similar crimes (in the vast majority nothing as it doesn't even get investigated) suggests there is definitely some "saving face" motivation behind this sentence.

> I had the first iPhone up to the 3GS. It didn't feel that way then.

The history of smartphones is control being tightened further and further over time. With the phones you had, apps could track your location lots of different ways, and over time those data leaks are being bricked shut. Everything is moving in the direction from "Apps can do whatever they feel like" to "Apple controls what apps can do" to "The user controls what apps can do".

This specific leak seems like it's stuck in the "Apple controls what apps can do" stage, so hopefully this post will help get it moving again.

I'd strongly suggest playing some KSP to get intuition about orbital mechanics. A warning though: you'll never be able to enjoy space movies and shows, since they almost never present orbital mechanics correctly.

But in any case, the comparison with a hypersonic missile here can't be made:

1. hypersonic missiles have a guidance system, while asteroids do not. If an asteroid is moving in a certain direction, it will continue to do so until acted upon by an external force.

2. hypersonic missiles operate in the atmosphere, while asteroids do not. The speed of sound is entirely irrelevant to asteroids.

3. because of these two things, it is not hard to intercept an asteroid.

Given the difference in velocity (and F=mv^2), it may even be possible to deflect an asteroid by impacting it with an inert lump. This was actually tested in the DART mission[1], where a 610kg object impacted an asteroid at 6km/s and significantly changed its orbit.

What do you suggest they do instead?
What do you mean by get around their lock in? You mean that only Apple users can use iMessage?

How do you think Apple pays is for that? It’s subsidized through device cost.

I get why people hate the App Store rules and no side loading, etc. but that’s a different situation in my mind.

Why should Apple have to give Android users free service?
Don't forget the hubris from just 2 weeks ago:

> Side note: many people always ask ‘what do you think Apple is going to do about this?’ To be honest, I am shocked that everyone is so shocked by the sheer existence of a 3rd party iMessage client. The internet has always had 3rd party clients! It’s almost like people have forgotten that iChat (the app that iMessage grew out of) was itself a multi-protocol chat app! It supported AIM, Jabber and Google talk. Here’s a blast from the past: https://i.imgur.com/k6rmOgq.png.

I see what you're saying, and I'm sure mechanical engineers have been involved who know what they're doing. It might not be as simple as it seems.

On the other hand, sometimes a product really is behind the times. This is probably a relatively small, niche market. Most of your sales probably happen only when a new bowling alley is built.

Outsiders might not want to invest in trying to break into the market. It's expensive to create a new design and set up a factory. And then you have to convince buyers to buy from you, the upstart, instead of companies that have been selling pinsetters since the 1950s. And if you succeed, the reward might not be that large.

The established companies might have a perverse incentive against innovating. The machines seem to do the job but require a good amount of maintenance, so the manufacturers might get a nice, steady stream of income from replacement parts and/or service contracts. Even if they are interested in updating the design, it's probably a safer bet financially to make incremental improvements instead of a radical redesign. (Why rock the boat if you're making money?)

None of this means necessarily means that the traditional pinsetter isn't as good as it can get. I just think it could either way.

Now that I think of it, if a better/safer/cheaper (non-string) pinsetter is possible, ironically maybe the threat of string pinsetters could be what brings it about. If the traditional pinsetter manufacturers see their business threatened (for the first time in decades), maybe it will force their hands and they'll take a risk on a radical redesign.
But in this particular case the attacker will actually receive a confirmation email, so what's the point?

That's exactly when it became a thing because algorithms are 50% of the reason stuff goes viral or not.

If you did run a site, I think I could believe this too.
We have 2FA, email verification and other processes to verify that the document is signed by the same person that received the email for signature requests. This level of security is sufficient for simple signatures and applies to most businesses. Some specific industries might require advanced signatures to where the signer needs to submit their ID to verify themselves before signing. These types of signatures are usually very expensive and only apply to certain industries.

Apple restricting a free service to Apple's own users is not even remotely the same as Microsoft's various forms of skullduggery and I don't know how you can make the comparison seriously.

It has never been easier to switch platforms, and the gulf between iOS and Android has never been shallower. Android users not having access to one also-ran messaging service is not some sort of fundamental injustice, and Apple is not a villain for building features that they think will appeal to their customers. It's sort of their whole business!

Waiting for patents to file before public disclosure of the tech, but I can give you a basic overview. We use mass instead of speed to store energy. This is slightly less efficient but way less expensive; speed requires magnetic bearings and operating in a vacuum and many other expensive design constraints. Other flywheels operate in the 7500 - 100k RPM range, and we spin at 2000.
That’s not true anymore. Now if enrollment is required because the computer was bought for a company, you cannot bypass it anymore (just like for iPhones).
IMHO, Intel lost a couple of years because the CEO had a consensual affair with a subordinate so they fired him and put the CFO in charge for a while and puttered around unable to fix the serious process manufacturing problems getting to 10nm they encountered which caused them to fall behind in manufacturing to TSMC. Finally, after a few years of little progress, Gelsinger was hired, and we'll see what he can do.
Yeah unfortunately rather obvious considering Fire Sticks run android and allow you to enable remote ADB.
I think the perspective can be incorrect. No one expects Apple to get it perfect. Computing platforms are legitimately hard to secure, especially when you’re talking about privacy which is a lot more amorphously defined culturally vs typical CS security which is defined as subverting technical access controls.

The key question is whether Apple will play a curator role in trying to reign in the ecosystem. They have in the past (eg Uber was doing shady shit and there was a game of chicken to get them to stop). Of course Alipay and WeChat may be harder especially how Apple China is such a huge market for Apple and critical to their success now. It’ll be interesting to see how Apple adjusts to this over the next few years.

Open platforms also have this problem and also operate on pinky promises (perhaps even worse) so I’m not sure the point you’re trying to make unless it’s that “well if this problem isn’t solved I’d rather have an open platform”. The problem with that argument is that there are many issues and this is only one failure case which may be addressed in the future whereas open platforms have this one and many more that are unadressed.
> "Be Right A Lot" is a pretty shitty principle for any culture.

strongly disagree.

The difference between competence and incompetence is how often you're righter than wronger (it's a spectrum of course).

mindset is one of the most difficult things to fix, but the correct mindset is going to allow you to be righter more often and that is how you rise above those who are not.

_anyone_ can be right occasionally in the same way that anyone can hit a series of keys on a piano correctly. But a master pianist is going to be able to do it much more often.
I’m aware of the articles, and my point stands.

None of the features you bill as "enterprise focused" are limited in usefulness to large enterprises. Everyone doing anything beyond trivial would likely benefit from one or more of these features. I get the need to have a working business model, I just find the way it is presented a bit frustrating. Still yet, thank you for creating open source software. Even a half-complete open source solution is better than no open source software! I really appreciate all open source contributors of all sorts! Thank you.

It's also worth noting that there far stupider methods that can (right now) generate much more convincing images than deepfakes. The simplest is taking an existing, real picture and taking it out of context, lying about what the image shows, etc. This is actively being done in current conflicts, e.g. taking real footage from the Syrian civil war or from previous wars in Gaza and presenting them as photos from the current war. It works so well because there are enough absolutely horrible photos from the current war, so the fake photo appears plausible.

If AI-generated imagery should ever reach the level of being completely artefact-free and absolutely indistinguishable from real photos, then deepfakes will be about on par with the propaganda effect of today's real photos.
