I expect that Signal encrypts the notification data prior to sending it to Apple, then decrypts it on-device using a Notification Service Extension – this is a common pattern to avoid trusting Apple with any sensitive data.
That would mean Apple stored the cleartext on-device after decryption.
That's fair – the process has since been revised, and on https://automattic.com/work-with-us/how-we-hire-developers/ we now say "This work is paid, part-time, and designed to last between two and eight weeks, for a total of around 40 hours of work".
It's still a commitment to be sure, but we try really hard to make it as accessible as we can.
The 10 hours are not within "normal" business hours – it's a fully remote company. In fact, it's best if they're not – it's a good test of whether someone can communicate well asynchronously (critical for success working remotely).
I think Matt mentioned it on the Vergecast recently, so it's not a secret – we have a team of top folks working on Simplenote and are continuing to invest in it.

Do you also show them the part where it says "Significant Locations are encrypted and cannot be read by Apple"? They're local to the device, not sent back to them.
Actually, yes. I was pitched by ad reps from the largest carrier - they claimed to be able to send an SMS when one of their customers enters a geofenced area.
TL;DR (from TFA): No. We show that another option, called "Always allow scanning", when activated, makes a device send Wi-Fi frames which can be used to track this device, even if the Wi-Fi switch is off. This option is not clearly described in all Android versions, and sometimes even not deactivatable. Besides, the Google Maps application prompts the user to activate this option.
Possibly a dumb question, but if it's this embarrassingly parallel, wouldn't this be a workload more suited for calculation on a GPU? I'm assuming there's a good reason he's not using one, so could someone who understands this a little better explain it?
I'm super hopeful this could simply be used in my microwave, stove, car, really anything with a cheap clock in it to sync the time between them to some accurate source, and automatically apply DST.
I've never watched an Elon Musk livestream that started on time. Not sure if I'm spoiled by Apple keynotes always starting on time, or if live stream start times at SpaceX are just as loose as the company's other timelines
It's because each province maintains their own health care data and many of them refuse to share anything with the others - whether from a paranoid privacy standpoint or a bureaucratic inability to make it happen.
Could you set up Docker that way?
