> Making the log and associated binary software images publicly available for inspection and validation by privacy and security experts.

The measurement logs will be publicly available.


We don't know what those logs will tell us, and if it was designed with privacy in mind it shouldn't say much. Binary software images also don't tell us what the binary is doing, similar to how having all of the iOS files doesn't give you insight into how the OS was programmed. If the server source was fully open source and each machine could attest it was running an unmodified binary, then we might have a level of accountability. As-is, this is no better than Apple's "Trust me, bro" mindset they exercise securing iOS and MacOS.


What is your time estimate for a company to fix their assembly alignment and paint issues versus the technologies being years behind in a car? That’s the point here.


I don't know much about cars manufacturing, but it sounds easier to source powerful/recent chips than ensuring all of your factories produce high quality mechanical parts.


Thanks for this. It’s a great read. Looking for part II on more of OS X‘s evolution (64 bit, Intel, DriverKit, etc).


1. This will be the last time I’m typing my decade prediction on HN

2. AR/VR will be complementary only, travel industry will be bigger than ever; shopping will happen as your travel (product placement in all your experiences)

3. Weather-related disasters to be more rampant and frequent

4. Governments go bankrupt and hyper-inflation in developed countries

5. Disney still owns everything

6. Intel loses leadership in CPU market, as Apple leads the post-x86 world

7. Facebook to be the Google of the decade; Tesla to be Facebook of the decade


Regarding 4, governments will probably not go bankrupt because almost every single nation is in massive debt relative to its GDP so almost all nations will be forced to print money.

In isolation, a single country printing its way out of debt would devalue its currency and cause inflation, but if all countries do it together there should be little relative change in their currency values, meaning nothing would actually change.

It's kind of hilarious to think the global debt "crisis" may amount to little more than nothing.


> Governments go bankrupt and hyper-inflation in developed countries

I heard this a lot in 2007. If the financial crisis taught us anything it's that developed world economies are astonishingly resistant to inflation of any kind.


I was hoping that I can finally change night shift intensity based on time of day. Unfortunately night shift isn’t configurable by Shortcut yet.


You can change the whitepoint. Not the same, though, but something.

Apple is close to solving the market problem with XR being a success. The next interaction of the XS line can offer a smaller version without cannibalizing mainstream iPhones, just like the current iPad line up.


Is it a success?

I can't pull up mixpanel trends right now for some reason, but looking at this graph doesn't lead me to believe the XR is very successful.


Wrong link?


That's cool. Definitely bringing some memories back. If scroll position is maintained when going back to the homepage I'd definitely stayed longer :).


While this is funny it misses the point that life is a journey and not about the end result.


I think you're missing the rumours on the new 10.5" iPad Pro. Hold your judgement before that. What if the future product lines are only iPad and iPad Pro? With iPad at 7.9" and 9.7", iPad Pro at 10.5" and 12"? Many have said that the 10.5" iPad Pro would be the 12"'s resolution at 326 ppi, and I think thats reasonable.


If that were coming out any time soon, I'd have expected it to be launched alongside the other changes to the lineup. But adding my anityercscreen size option by itself does nothing to reduce the confusion in the current lineup.
