The Yakuza seems to have a similar story as the American Mafia. Both have long histories, are favourite subjects of films and media, and both had a decline that sharpened in the 90s. A large part of that has been increasingly tight anti-Yakuza laws and ordinances. The whole "Law enforcement and indirect enforcement" section on Wikipedia is an interesting read, I linked part of it:
I love when my Mac declares random PDFs malware and deletes them when I try to open them.
On two occasions I've been completely dumbstruck when the software I was using was deleted out from under me. I'm not a fan of the overuse of "gaslight", but it sure felt like that when I had to restart Docker and the OS was like "what do you mean, Docker? You've never had Docker installed! What are you talking about? Are you feeling ok?"
In ten years of using Macs, I have never encountered this behaviour. I've never heard this from anyone else either. Is this new in Tahoe? I haven't upgraded yet, but your link seems to be from before Tahoe was released.
Just as a contrapoint to the other commenters, I've had Mac do this on PDFs that I myself scanned many years ago. Pretty sure they were not malware.
I suspect what triggered it was the fact that the files had journeyed through many filesystems in their time - HFS, ext4, NTFS, APFS - and they probably picked up some unholy combination of impossible attributes.
I thought it was pretty egregious to have Apple helpfully try to delete important PDFs that I've been lugging around for years.
I'm really trying to remember the context, I wish I'd written it down somewhere. But now that I'm thinking of it, I'm almost certain it wasn't PDFs, but JSON files that I'd written. For some reason it would allow me to open them in some applications, but in others I'd get a warning and the file would be trashed.
The Docker thing happened as described in my linked post. It happened with something else too, but again I can't remember. I wasn't planning on doing a post mortem so I guess I let the details slip!
In any case, I do like most of the OS' ways of doing things, including security. But it can be overzealous.
There are 12000 in Poland, it was insane when I visited. You'd look down any given street and you were see at least one, sometimes more. Check out the map! [1] They are excellent though, much better than Canadian convenience stores. I wonder if the franchise saturation will lead to a crash à la Subway.
Also hilarious to see Drew Houston responding a bit later on the same thread:
> we're in a similar space -- http://www.getdropbox.com (and part of the yc summer 07 program) basically, sync and backup done right (but for windows and os x). i had the same frustrations as you with existing solutions.
> let me know if it's something you're interested in, or if you want to chat about it sometime.
It was, yes. I was trying to figure a way to bring it up but I didn't want to imply that the comment here was ignorant for not knowing the account. It's the opposite, HN accounts have so little fanfare and we all talk in the same threads, it's fun!
I thought it was a bit funny that she was just hitting the space key over and over, but around the same time all my hobby programming was in TempleOS and I did the same thing. The indents were only 2 spaces though, and the tabs were eight wide.
Actually TempleOS' creator Terry Davis mixed tabs and spaces for the same argument stated in the Silicon Valley video, to save bytes. They're all rendered as spaces on the website but in the actual TempleOS code it's a mix of both. It means the indentation is really wonky on the Github mirrors (above 8 "spaces" deep), compare [2] and [3].
Having your pointer move against your will feels incredibly wrong. I used to us this to my advantage in the computer lab, by plugging in my mouse to my classmates' computers and screwing with them. Once, I was chatting with my buddy, looking him in the eye, all while fumbling around plugging my (wired) mouse into his desktop's USB port. It just didn't register with him, and a few minutes later I just started subtly messing with the movement of his cursor. Good times.
