What bothers me is that in Mobile Safari the Apple News app still hijacks clicks on Atom/RSS feeds - so if you click a feed icon you'll be bounced to the News app, which will then display an error message.

I don't think there's a workaround for this. Atom links just look broken.
Here's a video demonstration I made of this a while ago:

I released a fun new plugin for datasette: datasette-bplist, which adds tooling for handling values in SQLite databases that are data structures encoded using Apple’s binary plist format. github.com/simonw/dataset…
Why would you want this? Because it turns out the ~/Library/ folder on any OS X laptop is positively crammed with SQLite databases that embed binary-plist data in some of their tables.

Combine bplist_to_json() with json_extract() to pull out all kinds of interesting things...
My favourite example is the RKMaster_dataNote table tucked away in
~/Pictures/Photos\ Library.photoslibrary/database/photos.db - which contains EXIF data from every photo you've ever shared with Apple Photos. Here's a before and after shot showing what the plugin reveals

TIL about "origin trials" - a neat way of trialing experimental implementations of new potential web standards in an opt-in manner, intended to avoid the chaos caused when experiments prematurely become de-facto standards github.com/GoogleChrome/O…

Here's the (super-ugly) code I used to scrape the CSVConf schedule and create a database out of it nbviewer.jupyter.org/gist/simonw/1d…

paper available here (pre-print): arxiv.org/abs/1905.02162. See thread below for an overview 👇
A set of heuristics help humans in coping with uncertain scenarios and social expectations. The cognitive psychology literature defines six “principles of influence” (Cialdini) relating to these heuristics. Phishers exploit these “cognitive vulns” to trick their victims 1/n
The intuition behind this paper is that if we can measure the effectiveness or intensity of these cognitive attacks, we can predict to what extent a phishing email can be expected to be successful. 2/n

Here is our prediction for how Apple will support reading NFC tags in iOS 12. This theory was developed after much research of publicly available information. Please follow along and ask any questions.

#apple #iOS12 #NFC #ConnectedThings
If you haven't been following, Apple added an NFC controller to the iPhone 7 to enable Apple Pay (contactless payments). It wasn't until iOS 11 that support for reading NFC tags was added. That was a huge deal for the NFC industry.

gototags.com/blog/finally-r…
However there are some significant limitations in iOS 11 for NFC tags. The most significant of which is that (1) a 3rd party app is required and (2) the user experience requires an explicit user interaction to read NFC tags. More in link here...

Thread: Apple's recent policy change to forbid apps using social sign on from saving or using access tokens server-side is going to harm security, and well beyond for just users of Apple devices.
Remember that passwords are the #1 source of user security and privacy harm. Social sign in is the most usable, preferred alternative in use today. Password managers just aren't as easy and useful, especially for those who use apps across multiple platforms and devices.
The biggest source of abuse against single sign on systems comes on the client side, not the server side, when tokens leak to malware, malicious browser extensions, bad redirects, XSS, and apps impersonating other apps in the app store.

#RSS in Indian newsrooms | Thread
TV debates usually follow a template: the anchor, a ruling party voice, couple of Opposition voices, and a ‘neutral’ expert/commentator.
Lately, i.e. in the last four years or so, the neutral expert in most TV debates is an RSS guy. Always a male, he is often an obscure face with little public presence.
