Apple's products are widely imitated. By controlling leaks, they give themselves a head start in the market before new innovations are copied. New iPhone models are largely predictable and incremental. However, Apple is involved in a n

I don't think it's realistic to think that human judgment can leave the picture after the first deploy. New systems are fragile, requirements change, and mistakes happen. A certain level of trust is required in the founders of a p

Is this better in any way than just using a Mac? iPad is just as powerful as a MacBook Air, and costs about the same. But with the keyboard/trackpad case, it's thicker, heavier, and less ergonomic. And the workflow becomes useless

Apple is building desktop-class processors for iPad so that it can operate as a thin network client for a Linux server somewhere? That strategy doesn't make too much sense.

Seriously, this piece is so bizarre. > Employees can return to their permanent desks on a rotation schedule that assigns people to come into the office on a specific day to ensure that no one is there on the same day as their immediate d

Nothing is circumvented. I limited access to my photos, and Google told me that it needs full access for me to be able to “view, share, or back up” my photo library. There are no lies or circumventions here. The situation is fully transpare

Google Photos is not circumventing anything. It’s using a public API that was provided to developers in order to detect and react to limited permissions. If I paid for Google Photos and they won’t let me access my stored data without handin

Are you talking about a territory like Bermuda, or the independent Commonwealth countries that were inspired by the Revolutionary War?

I just booted with a new temporary ID and it took 50 seconds to generate the cryptographic key. After 3-4 minutes, Urbit had bootstrapped itself and was accessible over HTTP. You can try with these commands, using Mac in this example: m

There is a long history of using mental illness and "anti-social behavior" as a convenient excuse to silence large groups of people, political opponents, and dissidents. Nazi eugenicists, FBI's COINTELPRO, and more. https:&#

This attack vector was created by gigantic, centralized, and ineffective bureaucracies. I’m not sure if it follows that a new international bureaucracy is needed to stop the damage.

Yes, that’s a feature in many receivers. My older Chromecast turns on the receiver, sets the receiver input, and turns on the TV. I’m guessing this new one would work perfectly fine, too.

Those legal requests aren’t serviced with a password reset in order to log into the account. It seems more likely that there’s an internal tool to help people who have lost their second factor, but that’s just a guess.

“1” isn’t an option on its own, that’s what they’re already doing today and part of why they were rejected.

"China" isn't a race, it's a multi-ethnic state with laws that heavily restrict communication. It's relevant to bring up in a thread about building encrypted communication technology.

iCloud Keychain is one of the features of iCloud. It uses a master password to ensure not even Apple can read your keychain secrets. All of this basic info is readily available on Apple’s site, they have very clear privacy info.

That’s misleading, Apple goes through pains to keep data on the device, or limit their exposure. They don’t store your transaction history for Apple Pay, and I believe the same is true for HealthKit. iCloud backups are a glaring privacy iss
