Would it be another work day, weekend, or something else?

What would it be called? Where would it fit nicely in the week?

Sun Moon Tyr Wodan Thor Freya Saturn

How would this change things in the modern world?

Is there actually an optimum number of days in the week or is it just random?

The UK Home Office has once again demanded Apple allows it access to encrypted iCloud data.

The Guardian reports that the Home Office issued a Technical Capability Notice to Apple, this time targeting only British users. A Technical Capability Notice is a formal government order that compels tech and telecommunications companies to build or maintain specific technical functions—such as intercepting data or removing encryption protections—so law enforcement can access communications.

In the last round of this ongoing battle, the UK secretly ordered Apple to provide blanket access to protected iCloud backups around the world. Advanced Data Protection (ADP) is Apple’s opt‑in end‑to‑end encryption for iCloud backups, which even Apple itself cannot read. Apple argued that weakening or removing ADP would expose users to data breaches and other threats, and instead chose in January 2025 to withdraw ADP for UK customers rather than build a backdoor, while leaving it available elsewhere.

So, instead of working to keep citizens safe and secure, the Home Office just ended up removing an option for them.

Apple has responded by lodging a complaint with the Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT), seeking to challenge the scope and lawfulness of the government’s powers to issue such notices under the Investigatory Powers Act. The Tribunal is an independent court that has the power to investigate claims that the UK intelligence services have acted unlawfully.

Privacy International and Liberty have parallel complaints at the IPT challenging Technical Capability Notices more broadly, including their secrecy and necessity, and have asked for Apple’s claim to be heard in public given its wide public-interest implications.

I feel the fear of leaving an intentional backdoor is justified. If it exists, there is a chance that (AI-assisted) criminals will find and exploit it.

Weighing the importance of the right to privacy and the ability to investigate cases including terrorism and child sexual abuse is not easy. Apple’s ADP is used by many and as soon as criminals would know it’s no longer safe for them to use, they’d move to other platforms. Platforms where no legislative power will be able to gain access.

Reddit r/privacy users have been discussing alternatives for a year.

But, given the danger of a backdoor becoming available for criminals, we think in this case privacy should prevail. Let us know how you feel in the comments.

I do see that a lot of startups here are hiring. I would like to introduce a simple tool that can save a lot of time for you and your team. Last Friday I was on the panel with 2 other folks to do an interview. My boss asked me to focus on a specific area while he asked the other two to focus on two other areas. One hour total. You have to be super efficient with the few questions you get to ask and be fair as well.

I used TopRec.io. Dropped the JD and resume and boom! In seconds I get a strength vs gaps analysis and a discrepancy check. Also "Chat with resume" feature (like ChatGPT) helped me find out what I could ask for my focus area - distributed systems and event driven architecture in the context of his experience combining these with Adobe MarTech platform. No trick questions but highly efficient ones hyper tailored to really see if the person had done what they claim in resume.

This saved me 15-30 mins of my time during a very busy day, as I take the responsibility very seriously. It adds up when a team member has to do say 3-4-5 interviews a week. For hiring managers it can be a lot worse as they would first talk to all shortlisted candidates from the recruiter. Now imagine the pain a recruiter has to go through.

This is a product that costs just as much as you would spend on a decent lunch - $30 for ranking and working with up to 25 candidates - as a team collaboratively, in different roles. Or $10 if you just need a personal workspace for you. PAY PER JOB! NO subscription, NO annual contract, NO setup time. In 30 seconds you can start screening and chatting etc. There is no product like this in the market with such ease of use and no binding contracts, and hiring managers and recruiters are creating crude AI agents to do some of what TopRec does. I heard this from folks at EY and TCS where those companies pay 1000s a month for ATS and other HR/Recruiting systems with annual contracts and massive fees.

What do you think of my product? I develpped this as a byproduct while developing the larger platform SargaAI (SargaAI.com) which will focus on candidates first. There are strategic and tactical reasons also behind launching TopRec.io as a separate product which you might be guessing already.

Any feedback is most welcome. I would love to see even the most brutal ones.
