The scanning wasn’t to be done by the OS, but by the Photos app uploader, and only if you had iCloud Photo Library turned on. Lots of apps already do telemetry and photo scanning that goes beyond this, as well as nearly every major cloud pr

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference. You can stop grinding that axe bud, it’s never gonna swing again.

Second this, Becoming Steve Jobs is the superior book. It helped a lot that the authors had interacted with Jobs over decades and also had an understanding of business and technology that Isaacson was missing. There’s also an old document

It depends a lot on how you define “their”. In both those cases you could also argue that the president was still establishing the supremacy of a democratically elected republican government as the process for achieving change rather than p

The level of industrialization that we’ve reached in the present moment is a key contributor to falling birth rates, and what will soon be a stable and shrinking human population, a process already achieved in advanced nations and one we sh

It’s amazing that the same two links always get repeated as if they diminish an impressive career as a journalist and editor. Greenwald has done important work, but his slander against Weiss is not one of them. David French was involved at

If a disease native to the Americas emerged and became endemic, it would have infected Europeans when they arrived. There’s a good CGP Grey video on this called Americapox. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JEYh5WACqEk

My 2016 MacBook Pro came with an 87W charger and I always run it off a monitor that supplies 60W over thunderbolt and it never drains. I used to mostly run it off a 45W charger and would only see it slowly drain if I was really pushing it w

Obligatory reminder that Apple killed the miniDIN-8 and ADB ports on the original iMac before almost anyone had ever seen a USB cable in real life. They sold the notion of charging off your monitor cable pretty hard, there’s no way they cou

It almost never gets commented on but you can sneeze on the usb-C ports on the MacBook Pro and they will unseat enough to stop charging. It’s a shame the standard didn’t get notches like lightning cable which can easily hold the weight of

It’s not ironic, new releases of MacOS always coincide with the release of new hardware. And it always follows the announcement of the release at WWDC around July.

I’m against the touchbar, and haven’t used it at all for 5 years. It seems like it could be useful for casual users, but it offers almost nothing to pro users who already have keyboard shortcuts memorized.

In reality most unions dominate their industry to the point of monopoly.

It’s the work rules that make a lot of American unions distasteful to workers. A lot of people just don’t want to work in a place where people routinely say stuff like, “that’s not my job, union rules.” The Wizard of Speed and Time is a gre

Sure that's possible. But it's also overweighting potential harms in an imaginary future scenario over potential benefits today. One can come up with other imaginary scenarios, not to be too dramatic, but the same arguments were l

The protocol is mostly lifestyle changes, there’s no meaningful way it could be double-blind. It has to be compared to standard of care outcomes.

I was responding to a comment that said, "The movement has largely failed and gets to watch all their predictions come true." (emphasis added). Neither of those statements is true, and is also some of the worst noise produced by

There have been no shortage of failed predictions. In the scientific valence this is totally fine because the wildest predictions are usually stated with low confidence, but the ‘environmental movement’ knows no such moderation.
