They don’t. You can still run any software you’d like. You just get warnings, so people like parents don’t just randomly open malicious programs from the internet.
App developers do know. I can't say that I've ever worked on an app where this request has been made. Neither the App Store Connect Agreement[0] nor the Apple Developer Agreement[1] stipulates that the developer can be compelled to surrender their source code.
All the relevant agreements can be found here, so if there's something that specifies this kind of overreach, I'd both be very surprised and interested.
“If you are required by law, regulation, or court order to disclose any Apple Confidential Information (which can include requests related to legal investigations or audits), you agree to give Apple prompt notice and to cooperate in seeking a protective order or confidential treatment of such information”
They haven't read the document properly. Here's the definition:
> any information disclosed by Apple to you in connection with Apple Events will be considered and referred to as “Apple Confidential Information” and are subject to the confidentiality obligations of this Agreement
The definition of Apple Events:
> As an Apple Developer, you may have the opportunity to attend certain Apple developer conferences, technical talks, and other events (including online or electronic broadcasts of such events) (“Apple Events”).
I like the article. And I applaud any physicist trying to come to grips with our conceptions of reality AND reading up on philosophy. That being said, he's neither the first nor will he be the last, nor is "perpectivism" in epistomology a new thing. I like, however, how he is throwing in several streams (I saw James, Nietzsche, Kuhn, and even Rorty and Wittgenstein II) of thought, centered on Kant's ideas of the noumenon and its inaccessibility. I don't think I agree with him, though ;)
If I had to label him, I'd say he is mostly an anti-realist.
Mario Bunge was another physicist who deeply engaged with philosophy (he taught philosophy at McGill University). Interestingly, the conclusions he arrived at were quite the opposite.
What works best for me is to take a book, on paper, preferably on a boring topic (depends on you, obviously) and just start reading. Usually my eyes drop in a matter of minutes. Once I wake up, startled by the book falling over, I kill the lights and go to sleep. Works every time, any time.
If I lie in bed and just think stuff, it takes much longer.
Seconding this...also works well when I wake up in the middle of the night to get back to sleep which unfortunately seems to happen more and more every year.
I do this with audiobooks/podcasts and then can start with the lights off and lying down. (important part I find is making sure the dynamics are low -- no high-volume ads or flashy punctuated sound effects)
Not sure if any other buds work like this but the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds seem to auto-pause based on some kind of fitbit/sleep indicator which help even more with staying asleep.
I fear caution won't make one safe from stupidity anyway. They'll find a post about transgenic mice or something and then it's goodbye Archibald Buttle. :/
Yeah, I liked it. Pretty aphorims in Goethe's style with wide applicability. If the article had another title and no "Additional" I would not have guessed he was talking about Germany specifically.
Fun fact: I used to work with lots of Chinese people, two decades ago and mostly in France, and they loved the Chinese restaurants there. If we went out, we always went to one of the many Chinese outlets. Supposedly they were so deliciously different from food at home ;)
Me too! Mark S. Zuckerberg seems to be a relaxed guy with a good sense of humor. Very likeable presentation!
