Reports of Horrible Biting Bugs.

Then that'll be interesting, eventually.

This is a gross misinterpretation of what Google wrote which is : 1) Changes are coming 2) Here is best practice for app devs-- use https everywhere. 3) If you can't use https right now, figure it out soon 4) During the tranision, people are going to fuck up. To deal with these fuck ups gracefully, you can enable NSAllowsArbitraryLoads while we get our partners sorted out.

It's a lazy recommendation. The first 2/3ds of the post are fluff to try and compensate for the fact that their recommendation in the end is "turn off this security feature". ATS is configurable to disable or enable for particular domains. The fact that we've known about ATS for over two months now and this is the best solution Google can come up with means they don't care. They don't care enough to read Apple's documentation and offer a helpful solution.

> To deal with these fuck ups gracefully, you can enable NSAllowsArbitraryLoads while we get our partners sorted out.

And how many apps will forever more have NSAllowsArbitraryLoads enabled because a) Google can't get all their ad partners to switch and b) because devs don't remember to go switch it back off?

Presumably, Apple will remove that option at some point. It's normal deprecation.

Not that I agree they should offer that option, because of course there is no such thing as "gracefully degrading" security.

How exactly do you see browsers operate without it? It's not going away.

It is, actually; just maybe not on a timescale you're looking at things on.

Alternatively we could never depreciate it and use it forever, a much worse scenario.

I like http://codereview.stackexchange.com/ for this kind of thing. I get to see other people's way of thinking, and quite often people there are looking to keep their skills up to date with all of the language's features.

It means people invent invectives to satisfy their own deluded psychologies, independent of any merits of what they say. They fabricate narratives that make it easier for them to live with themselves, and disown responsibility, in favour of incorrectly trying to blame someone else.

Frequently the target of their blame is someone ( or something ) successful, since this has the most pay off for them. It has the most pay off for them because the large difference in success between themselves and their target gives them the most serious dissatisfaction, which they seek to correct, not by taking actions which may improve their situation, but by believing delusions which may diminish the difference that so vexes them.

So the hater tries to pretend that the successful is "wrong", and this makes them feel doubly right, in that they are "better" than the one who is objectively better than they ( by being "right" and the other "wrong" ), and, further than that, that even the objective measure of success is itself somehow flawed, because they purport it to be founded on a great injustice which they fabricate for the very purpose of making themselves feel that much less inadequate in comparison.

It's a highly compelling, and widespread addictive delusion, because it's like a drug. People get the feeling of success and achievement without actually doing anything to achieve that. They get the neurotransmitter dump, simply by fabricating for themselves a delusion ( their hate filled invective ) in which the successful is not, and they are right.

The tricky part is separating all this from what is actually true. Separating the narrative, from the what is.

How about "Priscilla Chan to be mother"?

Seems more like a pro-SoC piece than anti-state.

Neat stuff. Small nitpick: That's an octagon, not a hexagon.

god save us all from people's style guides. Use your IDE's reformatting tools and go in peace.

What happens when your simulations are inaccurate?
