Given that most (all?) public Wi-Fi's primary function is to collect data & stalk people for advertising, it's not a big loss.

GraphQL's main advantage is better efficiency network-wise, as you only make one request to get all your data instead of several which is usually the case with REST when you have to fetch related resources. If you're targeting a m

Given that religion preys on people’s fear and vulnerabilities, I don’t see why not. It’s a form of abuse.

Not available as far as I know; I looked into it as I needed it as well. Seems like there are some classes in the SDK that hint at that but so far they don’t work (presumably they require an entitlement that only Apple can provide).

It’s a shame the law is being repealed. Seems like it’s doing it’s job perfectly fine at dealing with “witches” defrauding people out of tens of thousands of bucks. I don’t have a problem with “altruistic” witchcraft (although I still think

You don’t just need the UID (and by the way, passports don’t have one). You need to do a proper cryptographic handshake with the passport, something impossible with the current SDK. You need to be able to send raw “APDUs” (commands) to the

The passport is a standard NFC smart card, just like your credit card. Internally it can do crypto, which means it’s not just about a passport number but cryptographically proving the person is in possession of their passport.

We can come up with great UX. The problem is, most of the products you mentioned intentionally degrade UX because you are not the main customer - cancer peddlers (aka advertisers) are, and dark patterns & bad UX is there to make you loo

Raise a dispute/chargeback with your card issuer. The only way to make them stop this bullshit is to hit them where it hurts and increase their dispute percentage to dangerous levels where their acquirer bank threatens to drop them.

Good riddance? I never really understood the appeal of privileged ports in today's day and age. Trust should be guaranteed by TLS or similar crypto; which port you're listening on should not matter (given it can be spoofed/re

Wouldn't TLS take care of this anyway? Sure, you can exploit a race condition and bind to the port before the legitimate service does, but you wouldn't be able to get that service's private key.

My problem with paying for paywalled content is that paying or not, they still ask you to agree to nonsensical privacy policies that allow them to stalk you by every means possible. For example, see the Washington Post: https://w

Nothing as long as the "limited data" bullshit is around. LTE/4G is already more than fast enough for pretty much everything; the main blocker has always been limited data.

I can relate with some parts of this story. Used to be a "throwaway" kid with no future, dropped out of high school, etc. The best advice I can give you is to not care about education (it's a waste of time for the most part)
