I used to be principled like you, but this man has the potential to cause death and destruction on a scale so unfathomably larger than one person. Would I prefer he face justice? Absolutely. But at some point “not wishing death on someone” flies in the face of the greater good of humanity

Not to mention the law firm they hired advertises anti-union action, so that should tell you whether they can be trusted to be fair to workers…

Imagine you have to choose a health insurance company to be insured with like you choose a credit card (Visa, Mastercard, etc). Many doctors (shops) only accept certain insurance providers (cards) due to fees and other regulations.

The problem described in this article is when your insurance lists doctors that you can go to that will accept your insurance, but most of them have gone out of business or actually don’t accept your particular insurance anymore.

Well yes, I was simplifying because I wanted to address the main (incorrect) criticism by @spartanatreyu@programming.dev. I agree with your comment

Yeah, in Java calling first() on a stream is the same as an early return in a for-loop, where for each element all of the previous stream operations are applied first.

So the stream operation

cars.stream()
    .filter(c -> c.year() < 1977)
    .first()

is equivalent to doing the following imperatively

for (var car : cars) {
    if (car.year() < 1977) return car;
}

Not to mention Kotlin actually supports non-local returns in lambdas under specific circumstances, which allows for even more circumstances to be expressed with functional chaining.

…what? At least with Java Streams or Kotlin Sequences, they absolutely abort early with something like .filter().first().

This is a decent explanation of gradient descent but I’m pretty sure the meme is referencing the color gradients often used to highlight when something is AI generated haha

is that the one that says “fuck the color blind” because if so hey!! that’s not nice

IntelliJ finds most uses in my experience unless you’re doing something weird with reflection or similar. And if it’s a public facing API only used by the library’s consumers…– it should be used in tests at the very least! Especially if it’s prone to regressions like the comment suggests

If you read the linked article you will find that exterior cameras feeds are plenty invasive enough.

I don’t think they have interior cameras (although other manufacturers do), but the front and backup camera feeds provide plenty of information as well.

Then there’s also this, if you need any more reason to be concerned.

No usages

Their privacy policy includes a provision that they can use the cameras and GPS to infer things such as sexual orientation, so yeah.

Windows Recall, the screengrabber they were about to release with an unencrypted database as an opt-out feature.

I mean, in 2012 they didn’t even have 2FA yet. Also IIRC they haven’t started really leaning into the privacy angle until maybe around 2019-20 publicly, and from there it probably wasn’t the highest priority item for the security team. Not excusing how long it took, but they are a business after all and with how scary the warnings around ADP are I doubt it’s a very marketable feature with a lot of reach.

This article is very outdated and nowadays you can actually encrypt your entire iCloud and be the only key holder. You will get multiple strong warnings in the UI about the possibility of losing access to your account.

If you enable “Advanced Data Protection” (E2EE for your entire iCloud) Apple tells you they will not have the keys and you’re on your own if you lose access to all devices that hold them (or forget their passwords, respectively). This feature was introduced last year.

Actually, the GDPR applies to EU citizens no matter where they are so you shouldn’t have to make your request from the EU for them to have to believe it

You could have at least read the article before posting it. Nowhere does it say that, and the article goes into quite a bit of detail on how the bacteria travel. Or is that too much to ask?

Mmh, I see what you mean. Fair enough!
