Despite my criticisms of Tim Cook using Apple as his personal political platform, he and the company been vocal advocates of user privacy and rights. Compared to the rest of Silicon Valley and how they view users, Apple has been truly fantastic.
HOWEVER, I agree with you that here are a lot more things, some fairly simple, that Apple should be doing to back up their words with actions. Here's just a few:
1. Loosen restrictions on VPN protocols in iOS. Everyone knows the industry standard is OpenVPN, but Apple basically restricts VPN providers from implementing OpenVPN natively in their iOS apps, forcing users to resort to L2TP or IKEv2 (or set up their cknnectjkn manually using the OpenVPN app). This is cumbersome and gets in the way of good security.
Not sure what you're actually talking about here, the Cisco VPN client uses TLS over TCP, not L2TP or IKEv2.
2. Set StartPage as the default search engine in iOS Safari (rather than Google). StartPage returns Google results, but securely and privately. Adding DuckDuckGo a few years back was good, but most users stick with defaults and most users want Google results. So give them Google results securely and privately by making StartPage the default search engine.
Trade one frenemy for another that depends on the first? Little gain here but yea, some benefit for the moment, until StartPage actually gets popular, switches on its business model and only sells 'XXX data, not your personally identifiable data' until... they do next week.
3. Let alternative browsers on iOS submit DNT headers. Currently only Safari can do this. In fact, Apple needs to signicsntly lessen restrictions on alternative browsers, including letting users set a different browser as default over Safari. At least do this with browsers that have proven security credentials, like Firefox, Ghostery and Brave.
Seriously? Firefox has a great security record? And top it off with the fact that its market share is disappearing, I think its pretty silly to wave these as your flag to get alternate browsers on iOS. Firefox is exactly what YOU DO NOT WANT ON iOS. Its buggy and CPU intensive because the devs can't be bothered to actually work on the browser, they have to go play with other random shit that they can also not finish and leave in a incomplete/broken state. Firefox is something iOS doesn't want for some of the exact same reasons as Flash, it fucking sucks. Move on.
But the way Apple has handled iOS browsing has been very anti-security. They took a long time to get around to fixing the HSTS supercookie bug in Safari, and then in iOS 11 created a HUGE WebRTC leak issue in most every other browser that is still unpatched. Why isn't this a priority?
Because pretty much no one cares.
4. The first four were easy; this one is going to hurt. Cook, it's time to start open sourcing some of Apple's code. The amount of simple but critical bugs found in OSX recently is insane. At the very least, start by implementing a policy that once an OS major version number is two or three years old, it's published open source. This will build trust amongst users and help researchers find bugs, while also protecting your most current developments as proprietary.
No matter how much you whine, they aren't going to give away their secret sauce. There is no company that stays in business for any length of time that does so, even the OSS zealots fantasy RedHat has a ton of proprietary code when you actually start paying for the good stuff that companies and power users want. Your idealism here is cute but unrealistic. You don't get paid by giving EVERYTHING away.
If its not easy to repair... your support contract will be much more expensive since the people servicing your contract can't fix it either, they just have to sell you a new one at base price + operational expenses.
Your excuses are bullshit excuses because you can't be bothered to understand the problem. On top of that you can't be bothered to understand that service contracts cost more than doing it yourself when the business is large enough because you have to pay for the actual cost of the work regardless of who does it... and on top of that you have to pay for the overhead of another business scraping their money off the top to pay CxOs and managers, on top of the managers you need to manage the service contracts.
Your attitude is exactly what text books are such a rip off, you're too fucking lazy to be bothered with finding a proper solution.
I can blame the peripheral manufacture for not using the betas that have been out for a while and noticing this issue before it went public then suddenly acting like it was entirely Apples fault.
They should have warned well before the final release of the OS update, they didnt'. I.E. they don't bother testing upgrades, i.e. its definitely at least partly their problem.
People would be howling from the rafters if Visual Studio updates required a highly particular set of bleeding edge patches from Microsoft to run.
You don't actually use VisualStudio do you? Its been pretty fucked up in this respect for the last couple years. Its tied to.NET releases which ARE tied to OS releases now days.
Man wouldn't exist had other species not went extinct.
Extinction is NATURAL. Doesn't matter WHY it happens, its what happens. Species go extinct because they can not adopt fast enough. Today that isn't humans, tomorrow... well lets hope it still isn't humans, but it almost certainly will be at some point in the future. Other animals besides humans that go extinct because of humans are still just the way it is. We are no different than any other cause.
Trying to save species just because we feel guilty about what we do is pretty dumb. We really need to work on not fucking ourselves over and destroying our ability to survive, but regardless of what we do to the species of this planet, life will go on for several billion years with or without us, possibly with far better species than us managing the planet.
The real problem is the number of people on this planet that think we're so special that we should consider ourselves the ones who determine what lives and dies.
Evolution doesn't give a fuck what the 'why' is. Morality is purely as stupid human trait. If you want to do it for self preservation, GREAT! If you want to do it because you feel guilty, well then you utterly fail to understand the way the cosmos works. The cosmos doesn't care about morality. If you are religious and understand religion then you still understand that even your God doesn't give a fuck, its man that makes up these silly bullshit reasons for doing things. Nature just evolves regardless of your feelings. Feelings are why you'll go extinct.
The gulp/grunt/sass/npm/react/flavorOfTheWeekJSFramework crap is not something use see anyone with a clue using. All of that 'complex' junk is for/because of 'developers' who have no clue how to actually use HTML, CSS and JavaScript so they have reinvented the wheel, not just poorly, but as a rectangle, out of wood, by first growing their own trees that are ill suited for the task, their own sawmill that is ill suited for the task, hiring Asian workers and giving them manuals in latin, telling them to translate it to Germen then hiring Russian devs to translate the output from those workers into concrete molds to which they then use saw dust from the lumber mills to mold triangles... they then glue together with a patch work of different fasteners to make rectangles... which in the end... the end up just attaching to existing wheels like spinners because the people doing all this front end crap are 2 weeks out of a 'User Experience' degree. And to top it of... they completely restyle everything and completely destroy all the work the operating system and application did to make widgets look standard so that people who don't sit around all day using a computer to change things actually understand wtf the page is trying to get them to do.
'javascript frontend' developers are basically idiots who are too lazy to understand html and css, and too ignorant to realize they are using html and css in through 85 layers of abstraction. People who think React is great are generally people with about 0 actual development experience. This in and of itself is ok, we all start somewhere. The problem is 'omg facebook uses it, it must be great!' and then they can't be bothered to learn how to do things in a sane manner.
Full Disclosure: I'm not allowed to do 'front end development' at my organization because out of 400 developers, 3 decided React was what everyone else should use and I refuse to use react when I can do the same thing, faster than any of them, with plain old html, css, and jquery. I think having a 14mb js file as your entire website is absolutely fucking retarded, especially with about 20kb of it is actually code they wrote, to do nothing more than create a few simple web forms that can be done in about 3k of html/css. And I have demonstrated this to the UX team to prove the point.
Yes, I am VERY bitter about it:) . And Yes, I think people with degrees related to 'UX' are completely fucking devoid of usefulness when the first thing they do is restyle everything the OS tries to make standard.
I've done 'front end' development in: Desktop UI: C/C++ for X windows (native X and with toolkits), Windows (GDI, standard windows, and.NET style winforms in straight C, as well as C++, C# and VB (shoot me!)) Web UI: plain old HTML/CSS with CGI backends, more modern JQuery/Ajax front ends, Bootstrap (really, why the F can't we just use this style?), VueJS, Angular and React (just to make sure I knew it was shitty)
(nothing against Asian workers, just that it'd be stupid to give them instructions in latin)
URL shorteners do have at least one valid use: if you're short on space into which a URL can be inserted, either because of some imposed limit, or because of etiquette of the medium, such as one's signature in a forum post or email, and so long as you have some degree of control over the content the use will get when following said link.
Stop using twitter, problem solved. Everywhere else you should be able to embed a link with the href hidden and short text to use for the visual display. If you're sending email in plain text then links probably aren't something you believe in anyway.
On one forum site I use, my signature contains several links, which all point to other pages on the site, all for resources I created or maintain. Those links would otherwise greatly overflow the signature editor's limit, because that editor counts characters in the raw text, not the "rendered" result.
Yea, you're one of those guys that think you have to embed a book in your sig. Thats the problem, not the length of the links. You don't need to post a link to everything YOU PERSONALLY think is important to EVERY OTHER READER of the forum.
Your sig is bad etiquette, like most, its just a selfish display of what you want to push on others to get you attention. (and mine on/. is an example really bad, but it matches slashdot these days). You're probably one of those people that lists every certification and degree you have on your email sig as well aren't you, so you can pretend you're better than others most likely. Sure, its under the pretense of 'helping' others, but in reality you're just using it to brag about yourself.
As for Gmail, let's face it, it's been around long enough (14 years) that it's become pretty ingrained for business and personal use. It ain't going away. As far as I'm concerned, it's safe to use, provided you're smart about it and use a real email client to access it,
Google has tried on multiple times to come up with a way to not use smtp/imap. They've thus far failed, but its part of the plan they just haven't succeeded yet. They are no different than MS in this respect. They're initial support for XMPP to help them grow in the messaging space and then dropping it as soon as they got big enough to throw their weight around is a prime example of their typical strategy.
i.e. with claws-mail or similar, downloading your emails via POP and keeping local copies. Even if Gmail goes away tomorrow, you still have all of your data (minus whatever you haven't fetched yet), so you can just switch to some other service, and send updates to your contacts as needed.
The rest of your post is good advice, in any case.
Google will do what makes Google money, pretending anything else is true is just stupid on your part. They don't run google search, gmail or anything else because they want to give things away. They run them because they want to make money, first and foremost. As much as people give them shit for shutting services down they are better than most, they just get more crap because EVERYONE uses them versus the other shitty services that come, tie you in and then disappear because no one knows about them.
Make no mistake however, gmail will disappear the instant its not making them money hand over fist. The data mining they get from gmail is so ridiculously valuable God himself buys data sets from Google.
. . . so a guy with an old phone was salivating over newer model phones... and he for some reason can't just buy a new iPhone that has all the same stuff?
You contradict yourself in your own post. Comparing last years model iPhone to a newer Galaxy and then pretending its the same is kind of stupid as fuck on your part.
I dumped my iPhone in favor of a Galaxy because I got tired of the the update now or we'll nag you every single fucking day bullshit, but to pretend that Galaxy hardware is far superior is just bullshit. There isn't an Android phone with the same level of CPU power as the iPhoneX for instance. The X costs more, but its better in pretty much every way as far as the hardware is concerned.
Don't even get me started on the letdown known as the Pixel. Couldn't return that POS fast enough.
In practice, any ordinary computer has come under the jurisdiction of the law, including cellphones, due to the inter-state nature of most internet communication.[6]
Your employer can say lots of things, even put them in contracts . . . but that doesn't make them true nor does it override existing laws preventing those sorts of things.
So you sign into Facebook and Google, you provide them all your information, you then use their services to 'leak' information.
If you are shocked that they know this information about you, you really aren't qualified to work in the tech industry in the first place.
When you put information anywhere on 'the internet', its not private, if you think it is, thats your own ignorance and you deserve to be caught.
Do you go to the police station and ask them for pen, paper and a desk so you can write down the story about how you sold drugs and murdered people, then ask them to post it on their cork board with the most wanted posters? Thats what the complaint is here and it just makes the people complaining look like idiots.
Its not alien, agreed. But its not any of the things you suggested, the movement of the object was not affect in any way by camera slew. That means it wasn't anywhere near the aircraft equipment. An unmanned aircraft is far more likely. The performance profile (based only on the video) is not outside the realm of modern day avionics and flight systems. Its behavior would probably be pretty harsh on a human, but once you remove the human from it... well, we can push the laws of physic much further.
It isn't a question of whether any given person's job will be replaced, but rather when.
Prostitutes are still waiting for this to happen...
Police will eventually be replaced by drones
Only until people over throw the government that started using them. Policing will not be done by automation, people push back to hard against it, and judges and police tend to want to have a way to cover their own ass by having their friends let them out of a DUI, automation will stop that and as such, it won't happen.
fast food will be next, replaced by touchscreen ordering, website-based ordering, delivery robots,
Most people go out to eat for social interaction, not to look at a touch screen. No one actually likes those shitty kiosks, they'd much rather just tell someone. You may think this is something people like because of the people who surround you having social anxiety issues, but the rest of the population generally prefer people to machines.
Will jobs change? Absolutely. Will people be removed from the equation? Nope, what the fuck is the point of living if people aren't involved?
Seriously, why the hell would you want to deal with this company. You have to be an idiot to not understand that this very mechanism will be used to force you to buy new versions and upgrade when they decide they want more of your money.
You deal with Facebook, you get treated like shit. This is nothing new, and what you're putting up here isn't a fix, its the problem.
If Windows Defender prompts "Windows protected your PC", click More info and then click Run anyway. If your antivirus software restricts the file from opening, temporarily disable your AV and continue.
Hahaha fuck you, the antivirus software and Windows Defender is right to block your update.
The difference is that doing it with dumb cars requires a human to be there.
Modern cars, not even 'smart' ones are rapidly approaching the point where a Nigerian prince can make them drive into a crowd of people from 10k miles away hidden behind a thousand unlogged open proxies. Thats what you should be afraid of.
When it can be done remotely, with 0 chance of getting caught, thats when you worry.
Sounds like it just needs more training. My 4 year old makes the same sort of mistakes until he's learns what the actual difference is between types of animals beyond their environment.
I suspect you take a sheep inside the home of someone who's never seen a sheep, they'd probably call it a dog too.
Google just happens to be using a very young and limited AI, which is dealing with STILL images, which are rather difficult to detect objects in such its just pixels with no differential data. Two frames with slightly different view points of the same object, even just inches apart increases the accuracy of these AIs by huge amounts.
Given enough training, RAM and CPU, it'll figure out sheep properly too. Its not impossible, just hard and requires a lot of parallel processing to be fast. Interestingly enough, our brains are slow... but massively parallel beyond any Intel engineers wildest dreams.
Slashdot Mirror
Good Job Zuck, when asked what you'd do about privacy, you converted the conversation to another subject and didn't actually answer the question.

Its behavior would probably be pretty harsh on a human, but once you remove the human from it ... well, we can push the laws of physic much further.
Or just dont use movie pass at all.
Dont go to theaters or movies that 'require' that sort of bullshit.
Not understanding why anyone cares about this douche, dont use it.
It isn't a question of whether any given person's job will be replaced, but rather when.
Prostitutes are still waiting for this to happen ...
Police will eventually be replaced by drones
Only until people over throw the government that started using them. Policing will not be done by automation, people push back to hard against it, and judges and police tend to want to have a way to cover their own ass by having their friends let them out of a DUI, automation will stop that and as such, it won't happen.
fast food will be next, replaced by touchscreen ordering, website-based ordering, delivery robots,
Most people go out to eat for social interaction, not to look at a touch screen. No one actually likes those shitty kiosks, they'd much rather just tell someone. You may think this is something people like because of the people who surround you having social anxiety issues, but the rest of the population generally prefer people to machines.
Will jobs change? Absolutely. Will people be removed from the equation? Nope, what the fuck is the point of living if people aren't involved?
Seriously, why the hell would you want to deal with this company. You have to be an idiot to not understand that this very mechanism will be used to force you to buy new versions and upgrade when they decide they want more of your money.
You deal with Facebook, you get treated like shit. This is nothing new, and what you're putting up here isn't a fix, its the problem.
If Windows Defender prompts "Windows protected your PC", click More info and then click Run anyway.
If your antivirus software restricts the file from opening, temporarily disable your AV and continue.
Hahaha fuck you, the antivirus software and Windows Defender is right to block your update.
The difference is that doing it with dumb cars requires a human to be there.
Modern cars, not even 'smart' ones are rapidly approaching the point where a Nigerian prince can make them drive into a crowd of people from 10k miles away hidden behind a thousand unlogged open proxies. Thats what you should be afraid of.
When it can be done remotely, with 0 chance of getting caught, thats when you worry.
Sounds like it just needs more training. My 4 year old makes the same sort of mistakes until he's learns what the actual difference is between types of animals beyond their environment.
I suspect you take a sheep inside the home of someone who's never seen a sheep, they'd probably call it a dog too.
Google just happens to be using a very young and limited AI, which is dealing with STILL images, which are rather difficult to detect objects in such its just pixels with no differential data. Two frames with slightly different view points of the same object, even just inches apart increases the accuracy of these AIs by huge amounts.
Given enough training, RAM and CPU, it'll figure out sheep properly too. Its not impossible, just hard and requires a lot of parallel processing to be fast. Interestingly enough, our brains are slow ... but massively parallel beyond any Intel engineers wildest dreams.
because people are lazy and security is just too much effort for them
