I think the bigger issue with this is that the number of developer jobs will shrink.


Ok but their grid sure seems to fail a lot.


Interesting use of fragile - you must be an aviation accident survivor? I would love to hear the details!


Yeah, calling "fragile" someone who's afraid after an airplane crash has to be peak Hacker News


To be fair, the way he worded it called them NOT fragile. I think he has a point. We don't know how they are mentally, some might be fine, some might be not. Ascribing the way we think we would feel about it to the survivors feels wrong somehow.


Sure it is. This isn't a feature or setting that users check often or ever. Now, their data is being sent without their permission or knowledge.


Which is wrong but doesn’t make it a coverup, which by definition assumes trying to hide evidence of wrongdoing.


It is a coverup. Apple is overtly and completely aware of the optics surrounding photo scanning - they know that an opt-in scheme cannot work as they found out previously.

Since they cannot convince users to enable this feature in good-faith, they are resorting to subterfuge. We know that Apple is vehement about pushing client-side scanning on users that do not want it, I do not believe for a second that this was a mistake or unintended behavior. If this was a bug then it would have been hotfixed immediately to prevent the unintended behavior from reaching any more phones than it already had.


> they are resorting to subterfuge

This is illogical. If Apple wanted to engage in subterfuge they would simply compromise the OS.

When a company controls the entire stack either you trust everything they do. Or nothing.


Exactly. It is absolutely bonkers that people are claiming that Apple is trying to cover up something for which they have a settings toggle and public documentation.


Yeah, we might quibble about what the default value of the toggle should be, but them adding settings for minor features like this is absolutely a good thing, and very much a sign that they're not trying to hide things.

If anything, the lesson Apple might take from this could be "adding the settings toggle was a bad idea, because nobody would have cared about this at all otherwise".


Why continue to comment without knowing what you're talking about


Wins? What does this mean? Do you have any results? I see the claims that Claude is better for coding a lot but using it and using Gemini 2.0 flash and o1 and it sure doesn't seem like it.


Where does this golf-course phenomenon come from? It doesn't really match the real world or how golfing works.


how so, witnessed it quite directly in California. Majority have closed and remaining have gone up in price and are up scale. This has been covered in various new programs like 60 minutes. You can look up death of golfing.

Also unsure what you mean by...'how golfing works'. This is the economics of it, not the game


Maybe its CA thing? Plenty of $50 golf courses here in Phoenix.


Golfing has had a huge surge in popularity since 2020. Prices are going up but courses aren't closing.


They've shut down airspace around military bases for no reason?


The military doesn't magically know what's going on better than random civilians, and in many cases is risk averse and paranoid, subject to hysterias and fads just as much as everyone else. They do have some non-public sources of data like air search radars.

All this to say, temporary airspace shutdowns don't convey any useful signal about the existence of uaps or foreign drones.

People flying DJI Phantoms near a military base and the base suspending operations is not "no reason".

It's not "Eyerainian Turrists"

And it is certainly not aliens.

It's dumbasses flying DJI Phantoms near an airport.


Shutting down airspace around Joint Base McGuire–Dix–Lakehurst makes sense if gunnery is happening.


It's easy to do, it typically doesn't impact much, and it's great ass-covering.

If my child tells me she saw a werewolf outside, I'll bolt the door, regardless whether I believe there's a werewolf - or a dog, or a coyote, or a Bigfoot - out there.


Sure but the players need and appreciate those breaks.


Weird then how they don’t need them when the game isn’t televised.


In January Waymo began testing on highways in Phoenix.
