I wouldn’t say that the alternate payment system issue is simple and unimportant. But the crucial issue here has be alluded to a few times: Does this legislation require Apple, Google, et al to design their OS so that their devices will run unsigned…

Thank you Crowley, Marvin, and Muthuk_vanalingam for clarifying the technical aspect of this issue. I carelessly assumed Apple was using the narrow meaning of “hash” with which I am familiar. But Apple is bringing a huge amount of processing to ever…

This may be the wrong place to pose this question but maybe someone can explain. Is CSAM designed only for detecting lazy/dumb perps? Hash functions are designed to give a completely different result if you change even one byte in the source file. I…

This would be great news for musicians who use an iPad Pro and bluetooth foot pedal to replace paper sheet music. There are already quite a few converts but a screen that is just a bit larger could produce many more converts. People who complain tha…

Valibomba said: Correct me if I am wrong: once Apple wasn’t the company who sells the most smartphones, but who has the biggest profit from their sales, and now they’re both. That’s right? It depends on how you define the competition. If i…

Tucson would be a nice addition with its all year accessibility. The bike lanes are for daredevil’s (here) but there are many miles of bike paths and the mileage continues to grow.

It looks like a legitimate successor to the original iPhone SE1. Having FaceID and MagSafe added helps to justify the price increase, not to mention the OLED screen and performance improvements. It would be nice to get hands on at an Apple Store bu…

Finally some good news about doing more than just trying to avoid Covid-19. I agree that in the short run there are not good prospects for sufficient adoption but given present leadership we sadly may have plenty of time for adoption to grow while t…

Well now it has just veered into the bizarre. I suppose I should have said well established contact tracing rather than ‘traditional’. Also the example of Hong Kong gives considerable credence to the notion that essentially universal use of face mas…

GeorgeBMac said: Personally I find 100,000 dead Americans chilling. But, that's just me. As for your implication that tracing is unnecessary, both history and logic say otherwise. I wouldn’t bother to reply but I find your implication that…

At least we both seem to be living in the same reality even if we don't come to the same conclusions. I would add at least one additional factor to the discussion. Last summer I was in Japan for several weeks in several different cities including To…
