The problem is there's no single right answer about how isolated profiles should be.

Firefox offers two options:

1. full profiles, which are almost completely isolated. They're separate processes, the data can live on separate parts of your computer. I do not want that to go away, I like being able to have almost separate Firefox installs on my computer.

2. containers, which are lighter profiles than Chrome and attempt to isolate sites without isolating browser settings. I also really like these, and I don't want them to go away, although I wouldn't mind them getting some additional controls for segmenting more of the browser.

What a lot of people want is:

3. Something in the middle between those two things.

I'm not opposed to that, but I don't think it's necessarily settled that Chrome's approach is perfect or that different users might not want some things to be less separated than Chrome's approach or more separated.

"Something in the middle" can mean a lot of different things, and there are a lot of users that sound like they're asking for the same things (better profiles), when I suspect in actuality many of them have very different ideas about what they want that to look like.

I'm down for Firefox offering more options there, but I don't know that there is a singular version of profiles that would satisfy everyone, I suspect the only way this actually works is if it's somewhat configurable. And I definitely don't want the less isolated version of profiles to replace the real actually isolated profiles that Firefox has now. I want at least the option to keep my profiles as separate binaries.

Rather than making a completely separate 3rd option, maybe the better option is for containers to have more customization and to allow more isolation? Firefox already doesn't really expose containers without an extension (which is probably a mistake, but whatever) so having different extensions that are hooking in differently and could turn on/off different isolation features might be a middle ground. It does get a little weird if you also want to also isolate addons, but...

Historically, the US had (rather expensive by the RoW standards) "unlimited" plans very early on, so most of the US users would not bother to think about the cost of SMS before sending a message. The rest of the world at the time was mostly on pay-per-SMS plans.

Then WhatsApp appeared, with an offer of $1 per year for an unlimited amount of messages.

As can be seen, the value proposition of that was tremendous in e.g. Europe, but non-existing in the US, as it just was $1 over what the US users already had. Most of the world got sucked into WhatsApp pretty quickly. The US never followed suit.

If the asteroid is far enough away, blowing it apart, even partially, would change all trajectories to almost certainly miss the absurdly tiny target that is the earth from a distance of tens or hundreds of millions of miles away.

On the other hand, if it happened close enough to Earth that all the little pieces, even if very tiny individually, still fall into the atmosphere, their evaporation friction would roast our world's surface for minutes to hours, terribly, causing global extinctions despite there never having been a single major impact at all.

The movie Deep Impact badly fucks that last scenario up near its end when humanity is saved by the main asteroid being completely blown apart just hours away from impact with the Earth. In reality, there'd have been no literal deep impact, but the'yd have all died anyhow, literally baked to death along with every other flammable thing on the earth's surface.

I very much agree - and I think some people misunderstood what I was trying to say too - that was that I don't think switching to SYCL would fix any of the problems that rocm currently has.

I personally feel many of the problems with rocm are due to lack of investment and management priority - there is no "technical" solution to that as a problem. And swapping out parts of that stack will just exacerbate those problems are now they need to rebuild everything from scratch with their insufficient resources.
This is very clever of Apple because it solves a lot of problems in one go. Namely, it lowers their costs as they're not running infrastructure to power the AI/ML options available to iPhone users; it distributes the compute of that to the edge, again saving them money and taking advantage of the costs they've already laid out for the manufacturer of the device; and it gives consumers the privacy they want - the data never leaves the phone.

Salesforce storage is about 1000 times more expensive than regular storage, so might not be the best example.

Data volume and Salesforce also don't belong in the same sentence, as it is not comparable to the data volume a basic Postgres database can handle.

Until recently Salesforce didn't provide a data backup facility, other than exporting CSVs, so not even sure you can call it a database.
> I'd appreciate if you were less combative in your discussion.

OK. I agree to drop the word, "even". I could have phrased that more generosly. Here's a try: "Did you consider the rebuttal provided in the article?" I didn't want to be redundant by repeating it.

---

Let's look at this with some perspective. There are 3 ways this can pan out:

1. What Apple wants: Everyone buys an iPhone and uses iMessage.

In this scenario, the security of literally everyone depends on their trust in one party (Apple), because iMessage cannot be audited. It's also never gonna happen, so there's that.

2. What Beeper wants: 3rd party apps can send and receive messages with iMessage, and all messages are E2E encrypted.

In this scenario, trust is only needed when the app at each end is closed-source. Open source apps can be audited, so conversations between them can be known to be secure. Messages between closed and open source apps must rely on the trust of one closed source app.

This is worse if one or more 3rd party apps is closed source, because that introduces more parties who demand trust.

This is better if all 3rd party apps are open source, because it allows guaranteed secure comms between users of open-source apps. It's a neutral change for iMessage users, because they must trust the same number of parties (just Apple).

3. What we got: iMessage is only encrypted (if Apple is trustworthy) when both users are using iMessage.

This is worse, because iMessage users (and everyone who messages with them) are practically guaranteed to send and receive unencrypted messages. We have thrown the baby out with the bathwater.

> as the file formats are already supported by other software and artificially restricting them to only Microsoft apps would only serve to drive users to Libre/Open office

Obviously the formats have already been reverse-engineered long ago. But the world you describe and wish for, such reverse-engineering would be illegal, thus those formats would never have been reversed & implemented in third-party software.

> our files are locked right down because that's how we make our money

If your client software is able to open the files then it means the key must be on the user's computer (in your application binary?) or fetched at runtime over the internet and a user can technically make their own software to obtain this key and decrypt the file.

> What you're not free to do is crack open our software and use it anyway.

What if the user pays for your software (and its implicit access to any online key server that serves the cryptographic keys) but instead uses their own replica that mimics this software? That's what's happening when an Apple device owner (having paid for access to iMessage) decides to use Beeper. Both you and Apple still make money in this case. Should this still be illegal?

> you are free to use a competitor's product

I'm not sure what the nature of your product is, but this gets murky if your product relies on proprietary file formats or centralized services like iMessage. In this case, using a competitor would be inconvenient or might be outright impossible if everyone else is using this software and expects you to be able to open their files or interoperate with them.

Why should we allow arbitrary roadblocks to interoperability that don't accomplish anything beyond strengthening monopolies and restricting end-user choice and convenience? It would be fair if Apple argued for a reasonable fee to allow iMessage access to non-Apple-device owners but they've never made such argument.
It's different, but is it beneficial?

You can ask customer service for help politely and constructively, without disingenuously (or passive-aggressively) stating that the problem is your fault.

If you want, you can acknowledge how you tried to fix it and failed (if that's accurate). But don't say that the problem is your fault unless it is.

(There are situations in which taking blame for a situation not necessarily yours might be a convention, but mistakes of vendors when talking with the vendor aren't one of them, IMHO. For example, you might take a little heat for colleagues, when appropriate, and all the CEO you're talking with needs to hear right then is, "Sorry, I don't have that for you yet; let me get that to you later today." Not "I've been pestering Bob since Monday for the dependency." Then you can go tell Bob that you two really need to solve this in the next couple hours. And if there's a larger problem, like Bob has been overextended by a family problem, or tasking has been unclear since a tentative pivot, then work it with management in the appropriate vertices of the org chart.)
There are induction cooktops which will heat a griddle the size of a half sheet tray, and will automatically sense when it’s there and turn on the bridge. They also have fewer hotspots than gas, which definitely doesn’t heat evenly on thin nonstick cookware.

Do you think there's potential for language models to play a role here? I know that AI can get tossed around as a buzzword, but hasn't it proved quite successful in fields like computer vision?

I don’t know them all, no. But it would be absolutely ridiculous to force a new user to try to design a set of key bindings for even the hundreds that I do use.

You don't understand. Britain respects some basic rights for those considered dangerously bad, but not the "dangerously mad".

I worked as a paper pusher in the UK's mental health appeal system. If they think the patient continues to present a risk of harm to others, there is no escape. It's extremely hard for a patient to convince others they're safe. Many stay in for many more decades than they would have done in prison.

If they think his condition was so severe that it made the criminal decision for him, they might not ever be convinced he's stopped being a danger until his condition is cured. Given autism is not a curable mental disorder, this outcome is a bit of a scandal.

Executives, absolutely not. Apple is so opinionated and principled. Have you seen the emails that came out during recent trials where they state so clearly how much they deserve 30% of all commerce on their devices?

They would have firmly believed that iMessage is their service that no one else has an entitlement to. If they had any involvement, it would be just one email to say to shut it down, and then never thought of it again.
