How do top students study?

Einstein was asked for his “formula” for success.Most expected an answer long and sour, but he kept it short and sweet: “If A is success in life, then A = x + y + z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.”The TOP STUDENT CODEI. EINSTEIN’S ALGORITHM for GENIUSFor almost a century now, people have marveled at Einstein’s intellectual feats. In fact, if not in name, if you look up the word genius, notice that listed among its synonyms is one rather “peculiar” addition.Think about that for a second. …Indeed, it borders on unbelievable that the last name of an actual flesh and blood person serves as a nickname for Genius.Listed along with the usual suspects—brilliance, mastermind, etc—all of which are abstract nouns, there’s one name that stands out like Shaquille O'neal in a room of gymnasts.Think about it. …To put it plainly, so far as intelligence goes, Einstein was the Paul Bunyan of intellects.Einstein is single-handedly responsible for the most famous equation in history—E = mc2. But his marvels doesn’t stop there. …Einstein’s paper on the photoelectric effect (E photon = hv) serves as the very foundation of quantum physics. Now, ponder if you will: one man’s genius is single-handedly responsible for both major fields of physics (relativity and quantum mechanics).It’s a safe bet, then, that genius personified also knew the formula for studying like a top student.Whereas Einstein generally scribbled equations on a chalkboard, in the following case, he uses thin air for the board and his tongue as a piece of chalk!And so, if indeed your heart is set on absorbing Einstein’s vitamins for thought, which, if applied, is guaranteed to make you a top student, simply PAY with currency made of attention to this real-life encounter with the mind of genius.A few months ago I came across an old article from “the New Yorker” titled "The Great Foreigner." In the classic piece, the writer Niccolo Tucci replays a memorable visit to Einstein's home in Princeton.Apparently Tucci's mother-in-law and Einstein were old pals. Tucci, to his credit, does a masterful job of painting a brief word-portrait of what it felt like to enter the home of genius personified.But what stands out most is the diamond hidden in the rough of a seemingly casual chat between two old pals.After exchanging pleasantries, Tucci's mother-in-law casually asks Einstein a fairly routine question. Apparently her brother, Michele, was a contemporary of Einstein’s. Both men started out on the same career path as promising mathematical physicists.Tucci recalls the classic exchange as follows."Herr Professor," said the mother-in-law (Tucci makes sure to note the entire conversation took place in their native German language), "this I really meant to ask you for a long time—why hasn't Michele made some important discovery in mathematics?"“Aber, Frau Bice,” replied Einstein, chuckling, “this is a very good sign. Michele is a humanist, a universal spirit, too interested in too many things to become a monomaniac. Only a MONOMANIAC gets what we commonly refer to as results."II. The TOP STUDENT CODEWhen Galileo—the Father of Modern Science—famously declared that “mathematics is the language in which the book of nature is written,” he in effect revealed the language of the gods.Mathematics, you see, when stripped of all its pageantry and obscure notation is nothing but a collection of algorithms.An algorithm, you see, is a recipe . . . a mere formula. In other words, just as pouring formless liquid into a mold results in a form that reduplicates the pattern, the same holds in this case.To put it simply, the mathematician, no different from the metalworker when casting, isn’t concerned with the formless liquids per se. Whether it be red wine or black Pepsi is irrelevant to the metalworker. So long as the mold, which determines the very form of the output, is intact—it is all the same.For the above reason, when Socrates noted that “the beginning of wisdom is the definition of terms,” whoever truly grasps what is meant by algorithm, insofar as it relates to being a top student, will in effect gain access to the Top Student Code.The word algorithm simply means a “set of rules used to support a predetermined end/goal.”Think about it. …Given the goal stated in the question, it’s apparent the set of rules sought merely must support the stated aim. Such a fact ties into the very definition of rationality.When Aristotle called us “rational animals,” it’s important to remember this was the same fella who also discovered logic.Why is that important?Rationality derives from the mathematical term ratio. And because every mathematical proof is constructed with pure logic, well, this “trinity” all ties into the yet to be unveiled Top Student Code.Rationality is always relative to a standard.Why?For the same reason the set of rules of each algorithm is always relative to its predetermined goal/end.Bingo!This need for conforming one’s set of rules to an objective standardizes the algorithm. For this reason, it has long been said that wisdom is knowing the best end at which to aim . . . rationality is knowing which means best support that end . . . and discipline is actually putting such knowledge to good use.Or as Aristotle spelled out the formula:In that order. …And so, given the above three slots, each of which must be input in order to output a top student, the wisdom slot has already been filled in—namely, to become a top student by mirroring the habits of top students.Excellent!As for the rationality slot, i.e., the set of rules, genius personified has already given us the algorithm—monomania. As for the discipline slot, ahem, like fingerprints, each person has his or her own disciplinary threshold.In short, the Top Student Code is stated as follows:M = ts2. … That is, “m” stands for monomania, “t” for top and “s” for student.III. TSC (TOP STUDENT CODE) in APPLICATIONTo again make use of the Socratic method, let’s set our sights on rendering a brief definition of monomania.Monomania, simply put, means to be “obsessed with doing a particular thing.”Or, to put it in another way, a monomaniac is someone preoccupied with one thing. Sure, words like “obsession” border on cringe-worthy, yet it nevertheless sheds light on, shall I say—“Genius without her makeup on.”Speaking of the above terms “makeup” and “obsession,” no different from the obsessive celebrity stalker who lurks in the bushes—just hoping to catch a glimpse of Scarlett Johansson makeup free—when all the hyperbole has been scraped away from genius, this highest expression of intellect boils down to one word: WORK.The only thing that separates the dreamer from the dream is a bridge called WORK! Or as Vince Lombardi frankly put it, “The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary.”Remember, our algorithm here specifies monomania, i.e., preoccupation. If one’s occupation consists of being a student, well, to add that “top” to student equally entails adding pre + occupation.“Pre-” simply means before. As in simulating the test-taking conditions, with which the student will be occupied when the actual exam comes = preoccupied.Indeed, anytime you see someone awarded the magna cum laude, or any top class distinction for that matter, you’re literally witnessing someone who has applied the TSC.Take for instance Terence Tao.Tao, a math whiz who started high school at just 7-years-old, grew up in a home where his parents freshened the air with TSC spray.Just as Mozart’s father was a music teacher and thus sprinkled the TSC on top of the infant’s formula, the same held true for Tao. After all, not only does Tao’s father hold a PhD but, most importantly, his mother received a first-class honors degree in physics and mathematics.Think about it. …No wonder when Ken Clements visited Tao’s home, the former found himself left astonished by the “environment” specifically designed to nurture Tao’s potential.... [Terence] sitting in the far corner of a room reading a hardback book with the title 'Calculus'. Terence was small, even for a seven-year-old. After meeting his two brothers, I was accompanied by Terence to his father's study, where, after a brief chat, I began my usual assessment procedure for exceptionally bright primary school-age children.Like Tao, from morning to night Mozart’s father played drill sergeant. By no other means could the elder Mozart’s tuition have resulted in the boy’s intuitive grasp of the TSC.Given Mozart’s preoccupation with classical music, it’s no wonder his account of the TSC echoed Einstein’s take on it:In short, the question begs to be posed: Why was childhood ideal for the likes of prodigies such as Mozart and Tao to apply TSC?The philosopher Schopenhauer answered best:After all, what play is to the child, work is to the genius. Both rely heavily on isolation, imagination and tenacity.Now, you must wonder: Does application of the TSC entail Fate must first supply you with the ideal environment?Nope!Take my case for example.My mother had me when she was 14 and my father was illiterate. Yet, just as having an illiterate father didn’t hamper Sir Isaac Newton’s application of the TSC, neither did it mine. Which leads to the next section—namely, how Newton and I both employed TSC to our respective desired ends.IV. ATTENTION IS THE MOTHER OF LEARNINGOn a sunny day, if you were to dangle a magnifying glass over an ant for a second or two, only to move the glass to some other object the next moment, you’d squander the magnifying power.Ahhh, but if you were to hold steadily that magnifying glass over the ant—allowing the light beam to concentrate on one point—let’s just say in less than a minute you’ll have barbecued ant for a snack!And it is this rarefied capacity to focus with extreme intensity that ramps up the student’s learning from merely normal speeds to genius-level—pedal to the metal learning.Here’s a real-life case in point.In college I played basketball for Texas A.M. … Well, to keep it real: I kept the bench extra warm for the stars of the team. At the end of games, fans seated in the stands and I had one thing in common: we all had 0 points!Nevertheless, what I lacked athletically, I compensated for academically.The converse held true for my buddy Rob, aka the star of the team.Rob was—shall I say—big, bad King Kong on the basketball court but lil, meek Simba in the classroom.To make a long story a dwarf, Rob, in fear of losing his eligibility, one day asked me for the secret sauce.The convo with something like this.Rob: Bro, how ya keep getting As like that? Sprinkle me real quick with the magic juice?Me: Say no more, bro! Ahhh, think of it like this, when you’re out there hooping . . . ya know, doin your thang—fans screaming and such—are you worrying about your problems? Or you thinking about what ya gonna do later? Or are you thinking—Rob: No way, bro! Mannn, when I’m out there hoopin’ . . . it’s like . . . nothing else matters!Me: Aha! So you’re pretty much . . . hmmm, meditating out there, huh?Rob: Never thought of it like that, but—yep!Me: Okay. Well, when the professor hands me the syllabus at the beginning of each semester coupled with all the accompanying lectures . . . . guess what?Rob: What?Me: She is literally telling me in advance what’s going to be on the exams. Think about that bro. … And so, just as basketball is the only thing that matters to you in the world when you’re out there hooping, when I’m in the classroom—I become ONE with the lesson, ya feel me?After all, the teacher can only teach and therefore test the student on what has already been taught.Bingo!Because wisdom is born from definitions, look up the word student and the returned Latin meaning is simple: ‘applying oneself to’,To apply one’s self is the same as the above-noted preoccupation, monomania, or as Newton put it—thinking about it all day!Insofar as the syllabus states the goals from the outset, the teacher can only fill in the algorithm with the required specifications.V. A FEW TIPS on HOW to MASTER the TSCMy sprinkling of TSC powder on my buddy gave him cause to pause for reflection. “You’re right, bro,” said Rob, “I waste too much time daydreaming in class.”Of course, my old pal overlooked one of life’s greatest secrets: it’s impossible to “waste” time.We mortals can no more waste time than can players of the Monopoly game “waste” the pretend money. Rather, at most, in the Game of Life, each player can only SPEND time at his or her choosing.Because time is money . . . money is power . . . just as you can only PAY your bills with money, you can only PAY attention with time. After all, your time and attention has to go somewhere.Aye, there’s the rub. …Because each day is a lifetime, at the start of each day’s Game of Life, all players start with the same temporal currency. The Terence Taos of the world only differ from most other students insofar as how they elect to spend that currency printed in time.Confucius put it best:Here lies the root meaning of all such clichés as “good study habits” and such. To put it simply, life boils down to this truism: YOU can have anything you want but not everything!Aye, there’s the rub.And so, if indeed becoming a top student is your aim, here’s how you habituate use of the TSC.Build up the power of attention! Because the brain is a muscle, you build attention-muscle by daily lifting. Such “lifting,” of course, comes in a number of forms. Take something as mundane as washing dishes. While engaged in the act, will yourself to focus exclusively on the act itself. The sound of splashing water . . . the glistening soapsuds . . . etc.Incorporate meditation. Tip #1 spills over into this one. Whether it be the classic meditation of simply following the flow of your breath, or one-pointed meditation, or mindfulness, in every such case the root is the same: the attempt to ground the attention in the present. Hence meditation is a form of asceticism ("exercise, training"). In short, until you learn to tame that Monkey Mind that swings from thought to thought during lectures . . . daydreaming while studying . . . you’ll never fully apply TSC. Here’s the most “effective” meditation in my view.Smart drugs! Not “drugs” in the sense of heroin or something but as in all-natural brain-boosters. Take a trip to any Ivy League campus and you’re bound to hear about nootropics. From Modafinil (the “Limitless Pill”) to L Tyrosine & L Dopa (increases dopamine; best taken sublingually) to Ginkgo Biloba Energy Now (healthy, sustainable energy), all of these “brain steroids used for cheating,” as a professor once remarked, will literally boost your IQ. Welcome to the Information Age!Learn to absorb the MOST knowledge in the LEAST time! After all, given that knowledge is the Empire State Building and life is but a dwarf, it’s safe to say those grains of sand are precious indeed. For tips on learning how to study at genius-level—I got ya covered!Here’s the secret to unlocking a photographic memory. To again apply the Socratic method, when the word photograph(ic) is added to memory, the resultant photographic memory means simply the ability to “think in pictures.” Bingo! For this reason, every memory “champion” points to this same age-old hack. Skip to 14:30 of this doc on “genius brains,” and listen closely as a memory champion shares his algorithm, within a matter of minutes.VI. IN CLOSINGBecause the mind is essentially a computer, which is to say, our brain is the hardware and our minds are the software that run the programs, well, I’ve in effect passed along the “Genius Program.”Sure, I’m well aware that because knowledge is power and money is power, it follows that knowledge = money + power, or as my uncle crassly puts it, “Nephew, the game is to be sold and not to be a told!” Ahhh, but thankfully for both of us—I’m no hu$tler but a holy man . . . or at least aspire to be.Besides, unlike my uncle, I fully grasp the universal truth that giving is receiving turned inside-out.And so, if your heart is truly set on attaining top student level, simply input the Top Student Code into your information processing system (mind) and it’ll with mathematical exactitude output the intended results.After all, insofar as genius boils down to removing the letter ‘K’ from what people Knew yesterday and repackaging it as NEW today—ahem—I’ve simply “repackaged” Einstein’s insights.The result?M = ts2Bingo!Of course, ol’ Albert is somewhere in the heavens smiling right now at his clever, if not original, fellow Pisces. It was Einstein, after all, who whispered in my third ear: DOG fo DNIM ehT

How can I generate a bootable iso from a Docker image?

What a fun challenge, let’s ignore boring questions such “why would you want to do that” and try to do it.My first intuition is that we can use the docker image as a initramfs and build an iso adding the other components. If that’s true, we need the following:1.- Convert the image into an initramfs file.2.- Create some sort of init program.3.- Get some sort of kernel.4.- Get some sort of bootloader.5.-Put all together into an iso.Before starting, let’s spend a couple minutes doing some tooling setup. I will try to use common tools on any linux, but I will need some “weird” programs:Docker, version 18.09.4-cecpio version 2.12syslinux version 6.04 (and consequently mtools, version 4.0.23).git version 2.21.0If you’re going to follow alongside with me, make sure you have them installed.Convert the image into a initramfs file and create the init programIn one terminal:$ docker run -it busybox /bin/sh / # touch IAMROOT We will use that file as a mark to recognize the correct file system.Now, without closing that session, in another terminal:$ docker ps | sed -n 2p | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -I {} docker commit {} initramfs $ docker image save initramfs initramfs.tar Note: In modern versions of docker, the last command should be docker image save initramfs -o initramfs.tarFirst, we committed the last ran container into an image. Then, saved the content of that image into a tar file.Now:$ tar xf initramfs.tar $ ls 0a9af2d699eb71f4a3c1508ff39ed4cd7c00ed36a5cbfa383aacc931f455a395/ initramfs.tar 0dcec08843618e749e94ea72a835dd4481214407143285b4e5c57666f8b0f941.json manifest.json 39c8a893588d75c746ab712c53edf61149745bca52dcc8d2e8e4385499ed166a/ repositories $ cat repositories  {"initramfs":{"latest":"0a9af2d699eb71f4a3c1508ff39ed4cd7c00ed36a5cbfa383aacc931f455a395"}} Those two folders are the layers of the image. We need to merge them. It’s important to do it in order, so we read the repositories file to see which one is the last one.$ mkdir root $ tar xf 39c8a893588d75c746ab712c53edf61149745bca52dcc8d2e8e4385499ed166a/layer.tar -C root $ tar xf 0a9af2d699eb71f4a3c1508ff39ed4cd7c00ed36a5cbfa383aacc931f455a395/layer.tar -C root/ $ mkdir root/proc root/sys $ ls root/ bin dev etc home IAMROOT proc root tmp sys usr var Well that looks correct! Note that we need to create the proc and sys folders because they were mounted as pseudo filesystems in the container and were not part of the image.Now, let’s add a file in the root folder named init with the following content:#!/bin/sh   mount -t proc none /proc mount -t sysfs none /sys   cat <<!  Boot took $(cut -d' ' -f1 /proc/uptime) seconds  Welcome to your docker image based linux. ! exec /bin/sh It basically mounts proc and sysfs (the two pseudo filesystems mentioned before), prints a message and starts a shell. We just created our init program. This will be the process with PID 1. Take that systemd.Finally:$ chmod +x root/init $ cd root $ find . -print0 | cpio --null -ov --format=newc | gzip -9 > ../initramfs.cpio.gz $ cd .. Nothing special here, we mark init as executable and package all the file system into a nice cpio file.Get some sort of kernelNow we need a kernel to run on our fancy file system. Let’s get to work:$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git # This will take a while, go get some coffee. $ cd linux $ make allnoconfig $ make menuconfig Once in there, we mark the following:64-bit kernel ---> yes General setup ---> Initial RAM filesystem and RAM disk (initramfs/initrd) support ---> yes General setup ---> Configure standard kernel features ---> Enable support for printk ---> yes Executable file formats / Emulations ---> Kernel support for ELF binaries ---> yes Executable file formats / Emulations ---> Kernel support for scripts starting with #! ---> yes Device Drivers ---> Generic Driver Options ---> Maintain a devtmpfs filesystem to mount at /dev ---> yes Device Drivers ---> Generic Driver Options ---> Automount devtmpfs at /dev, after the kernel mounted the rootfs ---> yes Device Drivers ---> Character devices ---> Enable TTY ---> yes Device Drivers ---> Character devices ---> Serial drivers ---> 8250/16550 and compatible serial support ---> yes Device Drivers ---> Character devices ---> Serial drivers ---> Console on 8250/16550 and compatible serial port ---> yes File systems ---> Pseudo filesystems ---> /proc file system support ---> yes File systems ---> Pseudo filesystems ---> sysfs file system support ---> yes And then:$ make -j8 > /dev/null $ cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage .. $ cd .. Funny how it took longer to pull the code than to compile it, eh?We basically compiled a very simple version of the linux kernel with only the bare minimum to work.Now we can check if what we did so far makes sense:$ qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel bzImage -initrd initramfs.cpio.gz -nographic -append "console=ttyS0" -enable-kvm Run /init as init process   Boot took 0.18 seconds  Welcome to your docker image based linux. /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off / # input: ImExPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input2 clocksource: tsc: mask: 0xffffffffffffffff max_cycles: 0x255dc4100df, max_idle_ns: 440795312434 ns clocksource: Switched to clocksource tsc / # ls IAMROOT dev home proc sys usr bin etc init root tmp var Aha, it kinda works. Some complains about not being able to use tty, but nothing we need to fix (right now).Ok, let’s keep moving.Get some sort of bootloader and put all together in an iso imageWe are going to use syslinux because it’s easy enough.$ ls -lh bzImage initramfs.cpio.gz  -rw-r--r-- 1 agustin users 1.2M Mar 29 20:13 bzImage -rw-r--r-- 1 agustin users 712K Mar 29 20:20 initramfs.cpio.gz $ truncate -s100M bootable.iso $ fdisk bootable.iso  Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.33.1). Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them. Be careful before using the write command.  Device does not contain a recognized partition table. Created a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0x4d614621.  Command (m for help): o Created a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0x14f4dcb2.  Command (m for help): n Partition type  p primary (0 primary, 0 extended, 4 free)  e extended (container for logical partitions) Select (default p):   Using default response p. Partition number (1-4, default 1):  First sector (2048-204799, default 2048):  Last sector, +/-sectors or +/-size{K,M,G,T,P} (2048-204799, default 204799):   Created a new partition 1 of type 'Linux' and of size 99 MiB.  Command (m for help): t Selected partition 1 Hex code (type L to list all codes): 6 Changed type of partition 'Linux' to 'FAT16'.  Command (m for help): a Selected partition 1 The bootable flag on partition 1 is enabled now.  Command (m for help): p Disk bootable.iso: 100 MiB, 104857600 bytes, 204800 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0x14f4dcb2  Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type bootable.iso1 * 2048 204799 202752 99M 6 FAT16  Command (m for help): w The partition table has been altered. Syncing disks. What we did there was creating an empty iso file and then create a one partition of type FAT16 that is marked as bootable. There’s one problem, though: We have no easy way to access that partition, as bootable.iso1 doesn’t exist. Easy to fix though, we can use loop devices magic!$ START=$((512 * 2048)) $ SIZE="99M" $ DEVICE=$(losetup -o $START --sizelimit $SIZE --show --find bootable.iso) $ mkfs.fat -F 16 $DEVICE Awesome. Now we have a partition already formatted with FAT16. Note that in order to create the loop device, we had to specify where the partition starts and ends. We do that using the information we got from fdisk: The size of a sector, the first sector of the partition and the last one. Now we are ready to start installing syslinux.$ syslinux -i $DEVICE $ find / -name mbr.bin 2>/dev/null /usr/lib/syslinux/bios/mbr.bin $ dd bs=440 count=1 conv=notrunc if=/usr/lib/syslinux/bios/mbr.bin of=bootable.iso $ mkdir disk $ sudo mount $DEVICE disk $ sudo cp bzImage initramfs.cpio.gz disk Now we have to configure syslinux. Create a new file in the disk folder, called syslinux.cfg and put the following content:DEFAULT linux LABEL linux LINUX bzImage append console=ttyS0 INITRD initramfs.cpio.gz Beautiful. We are basically telling syslinux what we told qemu before. And now, the final test:$ sudo umount disk $ losetup -d $DEVICE $ qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm --hda bootable.iso -nographic Run /init as init process   Boot took 0.18 seconds  Welcome to your docker image based linux. /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off / # input: ImExPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input2 clocksource: tsc: mask: 0xffffffffffffffff max_cycles: 0x255cd05bdcc, max_idle_ns: 440795290363 ns clocksource: Switched to clocksource tsc ls IAMROOT dev home proc sys usr bin etc init root tmp var random: fast init done / # And we did it!Now, some follow up exercises for the reader:The image of the file system and kernel, together, are about 2MB. However, the image we created is 100MB (!!). Can you reduce the size to the minimum possible? What problems do you face? What if you try to a different filesystem? What if you tried with an even simpler bootloader? How small can you make it?A common use case for bootable devices is to recover systems. Create a docker container from the alpine linux image, install common recovery tools such as TestDisk, grub, parted and photorec and then follow the steps in this answer to have a useful bootable image.Can you add a program to install in disk the filesystem and create a persistent version of our simple linux? If you combine this with the previous exercise, you basically created your own distro.Our init program is rather small and lazy. Can you improve it? Start by fixing the warnings on boot, such as the tty complain. Then research about System 5 init and try to come up with something similar. Then, if you feel particularly evil, add a bunch of resposabilities that you wouldn’t expect from your init program, such as logging, session or network management.

Why isn't someone wrapping Mac OS in a minimal Linux OS with a minimal VM player so that it can run every device?

There are several good reasons.Mac OS X will know it’s not running on Apple hardware. In order to run under a VM, you will have to replace a number of the drivers, including the graphics drivers, for the machine. These drivers would have to target the virtual machine instead.Mac OS X is unstable in this environment. Unless the VM is specifically VMWare, for example, the TSC will not be reset correctly any time the VM traps into its own code in order to handle something, or any time the Host partition supervisor gets context switched.On the desktop version of Mac OS X, this will cause a panic in any spin lock, since the are only allowed to be held a certain number of spins, before they intentionally panic, believing there to be a hang.Apple is not above having the police break down your door and seize all your computer equipment, cameras, and notes. Gizmodo editor Jason Chen found this out the hard way, after demonstrating possession of an iPhone prototype.Apple will sue them, if they start distributing such a package. No matter what country they are in. Apple will sue everyone who has a copy of it available for download on any of their public servers. You ever wonder what Apple does with all it’s offshore money? One of the things it does is this.Apple’s platform security group will find about 11 ways to break the setup in the next release. Then they will intentionally break it in all 11 ways, so that each one will have to be fixed. They will further analyze it for host environment, and cause one or more of their encrypted binaries necessary to bring up the UI to not run. You’re free to play “whack a mole”, of course, but expect that Apple will play back.Apple will intentionally make Apple Apps, including XCode behave erratically, when it’s detected that this is not a genuine Apple platform.If you expect to make money off the App… just spend some of that money on a $400 Mac Mini, and be done with it. There is no need to beat your head bloody, pounding it agains this particular wall. You will only stain the wall, and cause the Apple platform security group to wet themselves with mirth at your antics. Plus they will eat all the popcorn in the break rooms.

Comments from Our Customers

A very big thank you to the nice and accommodating support from CocoDoc! I bought the full version of Dr. Phone to transfer my private Whatsapp history from my Android device to my iPhone. It took a while and was a bit tricky, but it worked very well in the end. But since I also wanted to transfer my Whatsapp business history, I reached my limits (and those of the program) because the transfer of Whatsapp business data does not yet (?) work with the full version I had bought for my Mac. So I contacted support where they explained this to me. Fortunately, the support was accommodating and provided me with a free Windows code for the license, so that I did not have to buy the additional program for a Windows PC - which I do not own (but had to borrow) to transfer the data. This also worked within a few hours and I am grateful that all my data is safe on my new device. Thank you very much for your help!
