        "text": "#trailtuesdaythrowback to #running up (and down) Mt. Tam almost two weeks ago with pal Hannah (1). The #trails are not (2) as green as they were two months ago (tantek.com/t4zc1). After an 88:31 climb (tied my 2nd fastest time) to Mt. Tam\u2019s East peak summit, I could barely see the tiny San Francisco skyline poking through a thick fog blanket (3). Looking East the sun was rising far above the horizon, already well on its way at 7:30am (4).\n\nChasing Hannah back down the hill was faster than a month ago, setting a PR on the first 1.6 miles of steep technical descent. With a gentler downhill, Hannah ran ahead and disappeared. I settled into a good rhythm and pace of my own, having become more familiar with these trails.\n\nWhile enjoying the Tenderfoot trail forest, I noticed the ground felt squishier from the recent rains. The trail narrowed with a hill on one side and ravine on the other. Suddenly the earth gave way under my right foot, I felt my lower body start to rotate and fall downward in slow motion, impact the side of the ravine, and start sliding.\n\nI remember thinking, how far am I going to slide, followed shortly by, I have to stop! I spun to press against the hill, threw my arms up, dug my hands & fingers into the soft earth, slowing and stopping the slide. Took a few seconds to realize what happened, spit out some mud, and balance myself against the side of the hill to look up.\n\nI\u2019d slid ~20-30 feet down into the ravine. Nothing felt broken. I looked down and couldn't really see how far down I\u2019d have to go. Looking back up I pressed against the nearly vertical earth for extra grip while I climbed up one limb at a time, holding on and pressing gently downward with the other three. Made it back up to the trail. Collected myself, scraped most of the mud off my body and water bottle, wiping off the top so I could drink what was left. Another self-inspection, lots of scrapes from left forearm, to thigh, and knee which was bleeding but didn\u2019t hurt. Shock, I\u2019m sure.\n\nRan down the rest of the trail, and onto Cascade road. I could start to feel the dirt stinging in my skin. Made it back to Equator coffee in downtown Mill Valley where Hannah was waiting. She checked to make sure I was ok, then took a photo at my request (5). Not pictured: my forearms muddy from elbow to wrist.\n\nAfter wiping off a bit more, I drove us back to the city, went home, and scrubbed off all the mud & dirt in the shower. Scrapes & bruises, nothing broken, nothing sprained.\n\nDespite the fall, I set my second fastest time for the Mt. Tam Loop. \n\nStill learning to fall, still learning to get (crawl) back up and keep running.\n\n#MountTam #Marin #trail #trailrun #run #TemelpaTrail #MtTamEastPeak #50ktraining #optoutside #getoutside #befierce #pushyourself #facethemountain #trailrash #fitstrongfierce #nofilter #latergram #20190523",

Turns out every iOS user already has an Apple account, so why not enable users to sign in with an account they already have?\nMost of the time the way apps use OAuth providers is just to identify users. This is designed to be an alternative to using Facebook/Twitter/Google for that purpose.\nThis is distinctly different from the case where an app wants you to sign in with your Google account so that it can manage your calendar. Or sign in with Snapchat to apply a filter to your profile picture.\nThose use cases are more along the lines of what OAuth was originally intended for: letting apps access your account without giving them your password.\nOver the years, apps started to use OAuth to identify users because it's a quick way to find out and verify someone's Twitter/Facebook/etc account without having them type it in. This turned out to be bad for users' privacy:\nOnce an app knows your Twitter username or your email address, they can sell it to advertisers, or track your activity across other apps. Apple's approach provides a unique scrambled email address to the app, preventing this.\nNow you may have heard people concerned by this clause from the new App Store Review Guidelines:\nSign In with Apple [...] will be required as an option for users in apps that support third-party sign-in when it is commercially available later this year.\nSign In with Apple is a good thing for users!

This does not mean that apps that want to manage your Google Calendar will have to also add Sign in with Apple.\nYes, this is a little additional work for app developers to support another OAuth provider, but is really not that different from supporting both Twitter and Facebook, or Snapchat and Instagram.\nAt the end of the day, the benefit of signing in to apps is to be able to save stuff to your account so you can restore it later, and to get email notifications.\n\"Sign In with Apple\" provides apps with both those features without revealing any more information about you than necessary.\nSo yes, Sign In with Apple is a good thing for user privacy, and will be a better user experience overall.\nIs Apple using their position as gatekeepers of the App Store to force adoption of \"Sign In with Apple\"? \nYes.\nIs this a bad thing?\nNo.\nDoes this affect you if you don't use an iOS device?\nNo.\nDoes this benefit people who have an iOS device?\nYes.\nWill we see other OAuth providers follow suit and start randomizing email addresses and user IDs returned to apps?
