I'd be curious to hear a proposal on how Apple could implement an E2E encrypted messaging service in a way that it would be impossible for them to circumvent it in the future via a software update. I suspect it's not possible, and

That article does not say that Apple is encrypting the per-message key with an Apple public key (alongside the device-specific keys), just that it could. Yes, there are many ways Apple could bypass its own E2E encryption, but we haven’t see

Or they could push out a (targeted) software update that lets them do that silently. I don’t think they would, but they could.

Same. I’ve had nothing but fine experiences with them.

That has FoundationDB dependencies that don’t exist in the apple repo (SQL Parser, JDBC Driver, etc)

Santiago originally said if we need more than 8 decimal places, it can be done with an update. There’s nothing really fundamental in Bitcoin that is limiting it to 8 decimal places.

I'd place a lot of money on a bet that this kills Inbox. Inbox on iOS still doesn't support iPhone X, 6 months later. This tells me that engineers aren't doing any new work on it. (It has had updates every couple weeks with

Except you can literally draw a poop emoji as the signature and it’ll be happily accepted. How would that signify intent at a later dispute investigation?

by zwily 9y ago
I still don’t understand why we bother with signature at all though. Nobody checks it. Why not just “chip” if “chip+pin” doesn’t add anything?

I just listened to a podcast today about insider trading... and apparently, there’s not actually a law against insider trading itself. Technically what you get prosecuted for is stealing information, or something like that. Obviously there

What makes you say this? How do you know what Facebook is doing with the whatsapp data?

A backup has redundancy already - your local copy + the backup. (edit: I’m talking about geographic redundancy. B2 does use redundancy inside the datacenter to protect from drive failure, etc)

I disagree there. Curling has tons of strategy associated with it (“chess on ice”) I’ve never seen in archery. In fact, curling is kind of like archery but you can knock opponents arrows around the target... Am I missing something with arch

Any counsel worth their salt won’t let them trade if there is any non-public material news, no matter what other reasons there may be for selling. This is why most high level execs will put in place pre-arranged plans (10b5-1) for selling a

IRCCloud was is its infancy when Slack came on the scene. If it had existed back then, maybe we wouldn’t have switched? I don’t know, but it’s way too late now. (I have never used it, and am just assuming the read state sync works as well a

“Sync’d read-state across multiple devices” is what sold me on Slack years ago. I had been trying to simulate it for a long time in IRC using various bouncers, but it never worked very well and was hard to set up for non-technical people at

On iOS at least, you can disable background activity. I’ve had Facebook’s disabled for years. I assume Android has something similar.

Sure they do - they just own and operate them themselves.

Of course that’s survivorship bias. I wasn’t saying nobody hates the notch, just refuting his annoying assertion that “everybody hates the notch”.

Same here... All my friends complain about Comcast all the time and I’m thinking there must be something wrong with me cause all my interactions with them have been positive, and my service and price are decent. (I promise I’m not a paid co

I don’t know any iPhone X owner that hates the notch. That opening bugged me and I stopped reading there. :)

On the surface, this seems like a welcome addition. Given how long companies are waiting to IPO these days, 5 years may not be enough though...

Definitely. However, speaking of myself personally, I was apprehensive of the touch screen when I bought it. I thought it looked cool but was worried about usability. 2 year (and one major UI refresh) later, I have no more concerns.

Years ago, while hiring people claiming to know C, at least 75% could not do a simple “reverse a string (char*)”.

Everyone thinks they'd hate the Tesla interface, but I don't personally know a single owner that doesn't love it. I understand the argument for tactile feedback, but the pros I get from the Tesla display outweigh them for me,

Isn’t this pretty common in SaaS business filings?

The article explains exactly how it matters. Arrington didn’t care that much until people started asking him about his connections to various crypto ICOs.

The plist is probably just stored within the Safari bundle, and 1password could look there at runtime.
