you have what i would consider consistently bad takes on this subject

Ah, just saw a comment from OP claiming that Israel was doing "everything possible" to prevent civilian casualties, so yeah, bad take puts it pretty well. What bad faith bs

Well yes, I was simplifying because I wanted to address the main (incorrect) criticism by @spartanatreyu@programming.dev. I agree with your comment

Yeah, in Java calling first() on a stream is the same as an early return in a for-loop, where for each element all of the previous stream operations are applied first.

So the stream operation

cars.stream()
    .filter(c -> c.year() < 1977)
    .first()

is equivalent to doing the following imperatively

for (var car : cars) {
    if (car.year() < 1977) return car;
}

Not to mention Kotlin actually supports non-local returns in lambdas under specific circumstances, which allows for even more circumstances to be expressed with functional chaining.

..what? At least with Java Streams or Kotlin Sequences, they absolutely abort early with something like .filter().first().

In solchen Momenten bin ich wieder mal furchtbar dankbar für die DSGVO, die – wenn auch gerne mal absichtlich missverstanden – ein verhältnismäßig sehr solides Grundwerk zum Schutz unserer Daten vor genau solcher unternehmerischer Schikane geschaffen hat.

I mean, in 2012 they didn't even have 2FA yet. Also IIRC they haven't started really leaning into the privacy angle until maybe around 2019-20 publicly, and from there it probably wasn't the highest priority item for the security team. Not excusing how long it took, but they are a business after all and with how scary the warnings around ADP are I doubt it's a very marketable feature with a lot of reach.

This article is very outdated and nowadays you can actually encrypt your entire iCloud and be the only key holder. You will get multiple strong warnings in the UI about the possibility of losing access to your account.

If you enable "Advanced Data Protection" (E2EE for your entire iCloud) Apple tells you they will not have the keys and you're on your own if you lose access to all devices that hold them (or forget their passwords, respectively). This feature was introduced last year.

Which is what the original commenter already indicated they think as well.

Du verpasst nicht viel. Ich werde trotz Passkey von PayPal immer noch jedes mal nach 2FA gefragt ...
