assbot: Apple's "Warrant Canary" Has Died - Slashdot
mats_cd03: http://apple.slashdot.org/story/14/09/18/2216222/apples-warrant-canary-has-died
mircea_popescu: nah it has to do with apple
mircea_popescu: "While Apple won't confirm it, the company has removed its warrant canary from its latest transparency report, issued this week. While this could mean that the company has received a new secret government order to provide user data, there is still another more likely possibility: it's not publishing warrant canaries at all."
BingoBoingo: Here's a sample one. http://www.rsync.net/resources/notices/canary.txt I've never seen apple's but Ars is reporting it disappeared
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: You know the notice that says you haven't been issued a warrant, that disappears when you have. Apple's diappeared.
assbot: No, Apple probably didnt get new secret govt orders to hand over data | Ars Technica
BingoBoingo: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/09/no-apple-probably-didnt-get-new-secret-govt-orders-to-hand-over-data/ << Apple's warrant canary disappears, No Big Deal is the report

jurov: As early as 1987, the New York Times wrote: "by the early 80's, Mr. Jobs was widely hated at Apple. Senior management had to endure his temper tantrums. He created resentment among employees by turning some into stars and insulting others, often reducing them to tears. Mr. Jobs himself would frequently cry after fights with fellow executives".

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: steve jobs - as described in my 'hypercard' piece - was a master of chumpatronics, not of electronics. when he returned from exile, he zapped pretty much all r&d personnel, killed every project, smart or foolish, replaced all apple tech with repainted 'next'.
mircea_popescu: and the cardano should have been implemented on the apple ipad. "just make sure you run it on battery"

pete_dushenski: ThickAsThieves: no disagreement there, but where do you see apple's decline commencing?
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla honestly, my thinking was, "either apple actually comes with holodisplays for a 2015ish horizon, or it won't matter by 2020"
mircea_popescu: i didn't reallt follow apple, so i dunno.
pete_dushenski: then apple recognized its competition as such, rather than as inferior pretenders, and it's been downhill since
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: not just one man. the man with something to say. there was never anything of any value or utility come from listening "to people" and "their needs" << the apple watch is past the inflection point. a point that was, in my estimation, the iphone 5's 4" screen
TheNewDeal: better to have apple

mircea_popescu: i guess congrats are in order to apple, they managed to burn it all in five years.
gernika: mircea_popescu well the apple app store is full of people who do. Although it's not as popular is windows, the app store can be a good source of revenue as apple users tend to spend more money on apps.
mircea_popescu: gernika i just didn't realise anyone who's not apple writes for the os-x as a platform.
decimation: asciilifeform: I thought apple was trying to get on board with LLVM
asciilifeform: not only google, but apple, and microshit before them, turned away from traditional 'gcc' suite and proclaimed elaborate crud in its place. i could only ever assume - for ease of 'thompsoning' people.
decimation: asciilifeform: but microsoft only needed apple to save themselves from usg's monopoly busting agencies
asciilifeform: 'feminglish' has a term, 'frienemy', for what is essentially a symbiotic enemy. what's that? see, e.g., microshit bailing out apple corp. in the '90s.

mircea_popescu: "this isn't a good apple because its not fda approved" "have you tasted it ?" "i don't need to"
mircea_popescu: "A proper approach to key management. This could be anything from centralized key management as in Apple's iMessage -- which would still be better than nothing -- to a decentralized (but still usable) approach like the one offered by Signal or OTR. Whatever the solution, in order to achieve mass deployment, keys need to be made much more manageable or else submerged from the user altogether."

decimation: apple: usg dept of shiny things
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah if you want to actually ship your code, you have to submit your source to apple for approval

DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, mainly I have a problem with Apple and who allowed it to have that name
kuzetsa: DreadKnight: when I hear "apple" I think of the company and feel a little sick
DreadKnight: benkay, most people when they hear "apple" get a little more spit in their mouth, it's how psychology works, you have involuntary reflexes which you can't control properly
DreadKnight: benkay, bacon is food, apple is food, naming software or hardware after food is somewhat applying psychological manipulation, think about the Pavlov's dog
