The problem is that the people using drugs out in public are already at rock bottom: there aren't many punishments you can use to deter that, short of putting them in jail and when they come out they're just going to be using drugs in public all over again. I'm somewhat receptive to the idea of mandatory treatment but as it stands, "enforcing some harsh laws" doesn't do anything to curb recidivism – temporarily incarcerating people falling out of the bottom of society is not a long term fix for society.

I know that HN is not one homogeneous opinion, but it always comes up in these Apple threads that all this device attestation and secure enclave stuff is unambiguously good because Apple does it, but when it comes to TPM key escrow or Web Environment Integrity suddenly everyone is up in arms about how it's a total violation of a user's freedoms to do what they want with their device.

You shouldn't defend something that's inherently consumer hostile just because it happens to be for something you like.

This is in fact the most popular HN opinion that always comes up on every Apple thread.

Would you like people to not be concerned with aircraft accidents?

Edited.

The repo is a proof of concept. The key provided is used for illustration purposes and worked for the proof of concept. Nobody believes Apple would not revoke that key. But you don't need to talk down to the author for their age like this when they've made clear this is a proof of concept.

This is a private key to access Apple's service for a proof of concept. How is someone without access to an Apple device going to obtain such a key without it being distributed somehow?

Nobody is surprised that Apple is able to revoke this key, by the way.

Because "private" here is regarding the cryptography and not regarding the disclosure? How are users supposed to obtain this key to use the service without it being published?

Isn't that what the parent comment said?

The CEO is an instrument of the board. The CEO is not there to lead the board. This is just backstabbing, plain and simple.

Does the fact someone asks you not to do something inherently make it the right thing? Especially when what they've asked is hypocritical?

The title is absolute clickbait. The CIA funded Radio Free Asia, which then operated the Open Technology Fund until it was broken out as a separate entity.

FWIW, the Open Technology Fund also helps fund WireGuard, OpenVPN, and NoScript, among others.

They're not AI generated, there's literally artist credits in the picture captions.

Is Google going to hack your bank account?

This is the most perplexing comment I've ever read.

Is that really tantamount to cutting off someone's source of income and livelihood?

Then the compensation model is inherently unfair if the rank and file is forced to bear the brunt of bad leadership.

It is your job to anticipate the market – you are responsible for all the business decisions! If you're allowed to shrug it off and say "we didn't see this coming, we did the best we can, by the way 3.8% of you are getting laid off because of this but not me, even though I made the calls", well, it sounds like you're just milking the business for yourself until it well and truly goes kaput.

But of course you can clearly see through all the propaganda, unlike the rest of us, right?

Maybe make a real argument instead of attacking your own strawman?

Sounds like a lot of work to steal like, what, $10 max?

I don't think visual metaphors have to be historically accurate.

If you consider Parti socialiste to be socialist then I'm literally Karl Marx.

Go doesn't really warn you if you forget to handle an error return, which in my experience continuing silently in the face of error conditions is far scarier than crashing loudly.

Cisco not only stopped but in fact never did either of those things, so they're already way ahead of you!

I think the US government would rather make Cisco stay in politics.

I don't know about you but surely this person is definitely knowingly doing something negligent enough to constitute mens rea.

There are plenty of rubber-tired metros in Japan. The Yurikamome to Daiba in Tokyo, for example.

Well, at the same time, you can get yourself into funny situations that are hard to get out of without knowing the intricacies of Git (e.g. what is "detached HEAD"?). And rebasing is absolutely not easy to understand.

You've heard of security through obscurity, now it's time for... data integrity through obscurity...?
