> They aren't all that scared of a small subset of geeks running Linux directly on their iPad and using that as a regular Linux-ey thing, I don't think.

I don't think they are worried about a few geeks running bash or docker. They should worry about Valve Software, and millions of non-geeks discovering that Steam works on iPads. Even if only a small subset of the Steam library works, that could be a collection of thousands of games going back decades that don't pay the App Store tax.

I left a comment in response to a person mocking a use case regarding thumbnail creation, not the content in the page.
Yes, exactly! We're also big fans of the generator function model.
In Remotion, you get the current frame of the animation through a React hook called useCurrentFrame(). You then use React to build the UI based on the return value of the hook.
By structuring it as a generator function, later parts of the function are for later parts of the animation, which makes it a bit easier to read and write. We found this to be a little more intuitive. Ultimately it probably comes down to personal preference.

HBO Go and HBO Max came from two different departments and were different things was the problem. Go was for people who had a cable subscription, and Max was for people to have a digital only subscription, and we're duplicate implementations. The consumer confusing was (entirely predictably) too great, so they finally got their act together and merged them, though not before wasting a ton of money.
I have already been using iPhone Passwords for all my passwords. Anyone else doing this? It autofills passwords on the phone and I can copy a password from the phone Passwords and paste it on my MacBook.

Whenever I do a password change, I have to do it on my phone, so that the new one will be stored. But that is fine with me. I’m happy to do that in exchange for being freed from “password managers”.

Yeah, but the new feature presented yesterday is not that. It's just a new (and definitely useful!) contact discovery and payment request initiation channel for Apple Cash (which has been around for a few years now), as far as I can tell.
> It is an extremely weird situation, and a deeply bad look

I never followed all the ins and outs but from having a quick look through the comments on https://github.com/platformio/platform-raspberrypi/pull/36 the following happened:

- Developer independent of RPi opens PR to add RP2040 support to PlatformIO

- PlatformIO don't want to merge it, expecting some financial contribution to help maintain the support (seems reasonable)

- They discuss this with RPi, ultimately RPi don't want to pay the asked contributions so that PlatformIO are happy maintaining support (this also seems reasonable)

- End result is no RP2040 support in PlatformIO

Ultimately maintaining things isn't free. RPi have chosen the development environment(s) they wish to support and it hasn't included PlatformIO. What's weird or a bad look?
So does the US so surely you’re not referring to them.
I met her totally at random at a bio conference in hawaii- I sat down next to her at a bar and we started chatting. I asked what she did and she said VLSI- something I knew nothing about (I was a biologist). She was curious about biology and wanted to learn about how she could help. I looked her name up later and learned she really did work in VLSI :)

i'd be skeptical of the marketing used for the security/privacy angle. won't be surprised if there is subopena-able data out of this in some court case.

i might have missed it but there has not been much talk about guardrails or ethical use with their tools, and what they are doing about it in terms of potential abuse.
That's always been the case. Dumb crooks don't last long.

As to why they choose this way, over a "legitimate" (like dark pattern writing, or PID mining) vocation, there are many reasons.

I suspect that a big one, is the "blackball" effect, that having a conviction on your record will create. Once we are convicted, then we become unhireable, in many industries, so it's not like we have a choice. Also, the pay for nefarious work can be quite good.

Publishing studies is sharing. All students of a subject should learn study design in their first semester (I know I didn't and didn't have to back in the day). Every study should be peer-reviewed by students in their second semester and in their last. Master students should then be required to review multiple in their last semester. I know they are not skilled enough yet. The point is knowledge production in their brains and circles. All of it should be published. All of it should be translated in multiple variations by AI assisted humans from multiple countries. There should be a HN/ribbon farm types forum where these peer-reviews can then be discussed by the smart and curious mob (including PhDs). Studies should be randomly assigned. All resources necessary should be paid by a direct tax of billionaires. I will stop reading stuff on HN now.
> They also sell their own HSM appliance

Lots of folks sell appliances, but if you want to homelab, DIY, or do a small-scale deployment then the above items are simply USB keys so that be put into any server (or VM, via pass-through).

> the rod like object that telescopes saw pass through the solar system about a decade ago had an extraterrestrial origin.

I know what you mean -- "it's an alien artifact/spaceship!" -- but, literally, the sentence is true, no? It did not originate on Earth.
Not sure your claim is really true. I find it hard to believe people are cutting off family members so frivolously when you lose a lot of built in benefits to remaining in that system.

Really what seems to be happening to me is the gradual extreme politicization of individuals which over time erodes relationships. An example is an Uncle going from a general “respect everyone” position to advocating in favour of certain groups losing voting rights. Then his family members who may be part of those groups no longer wanting to spend time with him.

This is very different from cults, and narcissistic abuse as well, which tends to rely heavily on intentionality (eg a boyfriend isolating you from all your friends so it’s easier to manipulate you). That intentionality is missing when it comes to families breaking apart due to drifting beliefs. Again if we assume their beliefs are the only reason and it’s not stacked on top of others.
This is unfortunately not something that is currently on the roadmap. Revideo mainly runs inside the browser which is why we built it entirely in Typescript. You can check out moviepy (https://github.com/Zulko/moviepy) for a similar project written in Python.
I don't know why this got down-voted so much. Maybe scaling up too fast is the biggest part of the problem.

Perhaps, putting it in a framing familiar to tech folk, if we have a new version of some important component of our application, "push it to 100% in prod before doing any data analysis because it hasn't been proven to be harmful to engagement" or whatever, probably wouldn't be acceptable to most of us. Maybe you do an A/B test and initially launch the new version to 5% and watch some stats, and if it does well, you scale up from there, incrementally expanding the audience and doing more data analysis. But that analysis depends on their being a population which you know hasn't received the new version.

The problem happens when a switch to selling stuff in plastic/plastic-lined packages is driven by parties who don't have the interest or the ability to release to only a slice of the population, collect the data or do this analysis (and to roll back when the data shows a negative impact).

I'm not sure it's that weird a take.

Fast casual is a pretty popular category with better burgers etc. that you order at the counter. In the UK, it's pretty common to order and pay for pub food at the bar and have someone just deliver it to your table. If I'm by myself and there are seats at the bar for eating that's what I'll often do.

Totally depends on the experience you're looking for. On the other hand, if I'm having a "nice" meal out, I probably do expect table service.
> It was opened to be a non-profit, not a charity.

It is legally structured as a non-profit, but the directional intent was to offer charity. There is no onus for it to forever hold that intent – it is quite free to tear down the house, metaphorically, if it wants - but it would be quite natural for someone instrumental in funding it to be a charitable endeavour would be unhappy about the change in direction.

> If I had a conversation with a friend I would be more likely to believe him.

Are you under the impression that Musk has no familiarity with the remaining board? They are, for all intents and purposes, friends. Feel free to split hairs between BFFL and Facebook friends if you must, but you wouldn't offer anything of value in doing so.

> Like, they fundamentally are not people.

Like, they well and truly are fundamentally people. Groups of people, to be sure, but people all the same.

> A person would feel bad about firing 12,000 people in an afternoon, but Google the company did exactly that

The person who fired those 12,000 people almost certainly did feel bad.

Google, if you want to think of it as some kind of distinct entity, absolutely did not fire anyone. It has no capability to fire anyone – or do anything. It has no tangible existence. How could it possible fire someone? Only people can fire other people.

Edit: formatting
As mentioned, there are multiple ways to access payment processing. Most people don't go to an app on their phone, they do it at the point of sale, likely by following a link from Drive or YouTube or TV or whatever to the web UI (pay.google.com in fact redirects to wallet.google.com).

But the core secrets management and NFC handling app on your phone is and has been "Wallet", and the fact that you claim to be confused about that now is just evidence that you've never needed to use this UI because it Just Works.

The nonsense in this thread is about this "GPay" app, which is not and never was a payments management app. It was a peer payment service, itself based on Wallet. And no one was ever confused about it until they needed an excuse to yell on HN. They just didn't use it much, I guess, so it's been cancelled.
I'd just like to add:

I'm an immigrant in Norway. The darkness is enough of an issue that told us know about this in the state-funded language classes and made sure we knew help was available. I'm in Trondheim, so December is full of 4.5 hours of poor sunlight each day.

If there were something else that really gets folks, it is that Norway's people are rather reserved, to a point, and it really makes some folks lonely. This combined with the dark winters really causes some folks to struggle.

Everyone gets used to the weather and quickly learns how to dress properly enough.
The whole UF2 idea has to do with the educational background of RaspberryPi. The protocol was invented by Microsoft for use in some kind of similar educational board with the express purpose of not needing drivers, being reasonably crossplatform and crucially not needing any special permissions to access the device. The end result is that in some kind of educational setting you can use some kind of cloud/remote IDE on iPad, stick the RPi-Pico into the iPad and flash it, no blessing from Apple needed.
I think you need to flesh that standard out a bit. Maybe something more like this:

> If the material has been in continual use since before the industrial age and we have yet to find any evidence of harm, it is far more likely to be safe than newer materials with which we have fewer centuries of experience.

Our ancestors used all kinds of things that were terrible for them and it doesn't require overintellectualizing to find exceptions, they're everywhere. But this late in the development of medicine it is fairly reasonable to suggest that if there's a long-standing tradition of using a material and we have yet to find that it causes harm, it is more likely to be safe than something new.
The timing does seem to roughly match first known tool use in Homo habilis, if my Googling serves me well.

I think I misunderstood your point -- I took it to mean someone impersonating a server, but you're saying it's Apple. So the part you're attacking (as Apple) is:

> The process involves multiple Apple teams that cross-check data from independent sources, and the process is further monitored by a third-party observer not affiliated with Apple. At the end, a certificate is issued for keys rooted in the Secure Enclave UID for each PCC node.

So, in your scenario, the in-house certificate issuer is compelled to provide certificates for unverified hardware, which will then be loaded with a parallel software stack that is malicious but reports the attestation ID of a verified stack.

So far, so good. Seems like a lot of people involved, but probably still just tens of people, so maybe possible.

Are you envisioning this being done on every server, so there are no real ones in use? Or a subset? Just for sampling, or also with a way to circumvent user diffusion so you can target specific users?

It's an interesting thought exercise but the complexity of getting anything of real value from this without leaks or errors that expose the program seems pretty small.
Thanks for working out the cause of the bug, I thought I was going mad.

You mentioned another version of the gif. Is this one we can find somewhere?
Modules are "just" chip + all necessary hardware to start + antenna connector/pcb antenna. Those modules don't add any functionality to the chip.

The main benefit of those modules is: it's already certified with FCC and others, so you don't have to re-certify your design for radio communication. Since RP2040 does not have a radio, this is unnecessary.

I’m not convinced that the TVOC sensor included on consumer air quality monitors does much beyond give people anxiety. Maybe it’s useful if it prompts people to open their windows more often, but mine is so impacted by daily activity and subject to calibration drift to the point I wish it wasn’t part of my sensor unit. Opening a single bottle of beer will spike the levels for hours. It’s a super effective fart detector. I’ve had one for four years but I don’t know how I’d use it to determine whether some new product was harming the air in my home, the readings are just too noisy.
If it widely impacts other mammals other than humans, then it probably isn't primarily attributable to eating from packaged foods. It is probably from a shared resource like our air or water.

Unless Apple treats every major OS as a first class citizen for this password management app, this becomes another form of ecosystem/vendor lock-in. Have all your passwords securely stored in our app? Thinking about buying an Android phone? Think again.

Of the major tech companies, Apple probably has the worst track record of not playing nice with other platforms, walled gardens and all. Passwords are needed on all platforms. Apple would be the last company I would trust to ensure that I would be able to access my passwords anywhere I may need them.
