> I mean, same way with Vue really. If the editor didn't know wtf a Vue file is, you'd lose all the integration too.

In a way, that's fair. In another way, the example single component Vue file I linked to is an HTML file. It has a <script> tag and a <style> tag. Just associate .vue with HTML and you're done.

That gets to my broader point as well - styled-components reinvents the way you declare styles and the way you apply styles, and requires the entire thing to be written as a JS file. And for what? I still don't understand what the advantage is over a syntax everyone already knows (and has validators for already!)

Profiles on FB and Twitter are decidedly less discoverable than blogs and potential RSS feeds. I can subscribe in one click from Firefox, same from Chrome with an official add-on. I won't need to come back to the original site unless I absolutely want to.

I think the problem is in monetization, that's why FB and Twitter stopped offering them, and Google killed GReader too. It's not a coincidence that Twitter is having trouble monetizing, when it's the new way to get news. As a publisher and as a reader RSS makes perfect sense, but how do you build a generic infrastructure in between the two as a utility? This is essentially the question.
You’re being facetious, but it’s more like when the whole “Apple is tracking you through your iPhone” thing was going on - in that case, it was similarly a local database which was recording data which should have been erased, but it wasn’t transmitted to anyone.

I can completely see how this sort of thing could happen accidentally - not that it’s a great excuse for sloppy work, but mistakes do happen.

Alcohol in modern battlefield contexts is still a consideration. For Western military forces (especially American), alcohol is forbidden in warzones. It's considered contraband and is confiscated from inbound mail. But soldiers do often buy alcohol from locals, get it smuggled in through the mail, or -- as I did once -- make it like prison pruno. In addition, some warzones are different than others. For example, since there aren't really any regular (American) Army units in the Philippines, only Special Forces (et al), there aren't restrictions on alcohol like there are in other places. Very interesting and unique being in a warzone where alcohol use was sanctioned by commanders. On the one hand I understand why it's restricted, but on the other hand, in my experience, most folks can handle some amount of alcohol in their lives on tour. I guess the military's playing a numbers game and they take zero chances. Officially, at least.

I grew up in France where we were taught cursive exclusively. When people get older, their handwriting changes and can be very personal and hard to read (even for other cursive writers). Besides, apart from their own writing, most people read exclusively block characters from books and screens.

Actually, I wish I could write block letters more fluently as my (mixed/cursive) handwriting is quite embarrassing!
That system works the same way as what they're implementing. Someone reviews the raw image and enters the hash into the system.
Also any video you upload to Youtube (no need to make them public) can be stabilized with pretty good results.

For really young ages, I don't really see letting my kids watch something I haven't previewed, or at least something that I am watching with them and I am able to stop it at a moment's notice.

Even for slightly older kids, a curated platform is always going to be a safer bet than a moderated platform. It seems fairly easy to find good sources of curated content.

And of course there's just making sure they don't spend too much time consuming media in general. It's hard, but the less they watch the easier it is to be picky about introducing new things.

The attacker isn’t a national state adversary. The attacker is a vengeful ex. The chances of such attacker even been aware of what hashing is, is close to zero.

Paying cash doesn't guarantee you won't end up in Equifax's databases. Your employer may report your income to The Work Number (owned by Equifax), your landlord may report your payment history, etc.

Furthermore, your case of "pay cash" pretty much excludes you from higher education and home ownership. Unless you are super wealthy.
Why would you need to? We are talking about vengeful ex-es here. It’s possible to bypass this trivially by uploading it to another image sharing service, so the goal should be defection in the general case; not try and protect against the 0.1% that even know what a perceptual hash is.
If you watch long enough (I left it running on the side while at work, muted, out of curiosity) and some of that stuff will come up eventually.

It gets weirder when you have the live action stuff with kids' favourite characters murdering and raping each other. Somebody put in actual effort to put some of that stuff together. Other animated pieces are just a bad accident.

It seems kind of circular. Somebody writes an algorithm to try and take advantage of kids' love for popular cartoons. It grabs keywords, phrases, characters, tones, sound clips, etc. It puts them together into a short (or too long) animated video. The YouTube algorithms pick up on some common tropes and then those autofab end up in kids' watching queues, they end up getting enough views because they keep kids numbly watching (not knowing what it is their taking in), other groups start noticing and decide exploit the algorithms in the same way. At least that's how it appears to me...

> I think that is so because Go hates circular imports.

Well it could be but I don't think so --- "duck typing" when it comes to interface{}s has been a goal from early on, quite simply. The very idea of interfaces as "a set of func signatures" preclude the necessity to verbosely spell out "struct Foo implements BinaryMarshaler" and/or "func (_ Foo) MarshalBinary implements BinaryMarshaler.MarshalBinary"!

In the same vain, you don't even need to declare interface TYPES, you can accept/pass/return "inlined" interface{MethodSig(argtype)rettype} anywhere if you want. Not the most ergonomic choice in practice, but the possibility hints at this underlying interfaces-are-duck-typed-method-sets paradigm at work here.
Bitcoin Average Transaction Fee Historical Chart
CEO who presided over Mt. Gox’s collapse could end up with massive profits
My prediction: at some point Bitcoin will go through an upgrade process to transfer user wallets to a key pair based on a quantum resistant public key algorithm. Users will be given a time frame to transmit their coins to the new wallets, and after that time is expired, EC-based wallets will not be considered valid transaction sources any longer. Classic cash conversion in the digital age.
If “scale” is the reason they insist that explicit images be uploaded directly to them instead of hashed beforehand, then they really don’t care about this program enough to do it right.

They can easily scale this by allowing hash uploads, using a trivial client side classifier to guess at whether an image is actually served well by this technology, and confirm positives with CV after a bad actor reposts their media on the site, with human intervention only on the fringes.

The sample of author Ball's writing at the end of the article looks like Italic Cursive, which I use myself.

The whole idea of cursive is to allow ligatures in fast, personal writing, simply to make it fast. That became stylized in roundhand/copperplate script, later in Palmer.

I hadn't run across the use of "manuscript" for "printing" until this thread. Apparently this is being done to elevate what is now considered pejorative.

"Manuscript" is (was) a general term referring to a handwritten document, not its style, e.g. half uncial.

Judging from the posts here, I'd say handwriting is doomed.

I was hoping for references and not vague assumptions that there were such claims. If you really have some quotes, as you mention even "particularly regarding interoperability", just refer to them.

The attention being brought to this by journalists wouldnt be happening if Youtube were being more accountable.

Its fine if they do not want to offer a product for children, but when you do offer something for children you take on a massive responsibility.

Youtube admitting the mistake and fixing it is the only answer they can give of course. But it is a major point that they should responsible in the first place, so responsible that a journalist isn't needing to write a story on this.
> I generally consider anything using interface{} crap code someone who doesn't know the language wrote, probably coming from a loosely typed language.

Disagree. There's ample usage of interface{} that you need to type-switch on in parts of the stdlib that deal with the AST and reflection or various other areas. You might also UnmarshalJSON a structure where some field can contain any one of a number of possible sub-structures. Once we're talking about 1-2 dozens of possible sub-structures, you'll have that field be an interface{} and type-switch on it --- rather than having 1-2 dozen pointer fields that will all-but-1 be nil and having to if-else through them all.
I don’t think that’s accurate. I believe for this specific feature you need to specifically report the message from within the Messenger UI, similarly to how you would report spam or other abuse. Only then is it sent to the human reps. I don’t think other messages are ever read.

The "source" is 99.99% of financial-y things you do use data brokers, if not Equifax specifically.

Got a bank account? You're in ChexSystem and/or Early Warning.

Ever had a car loan? Credit card? Student loan? Mortgage? You're in TransUnion, Equifax, and Experian, plus more.

Got a job at a large company? Your more likely than not to be in The Work Number.

Ever return an item to the store? You're probably in The Retail Equation.

Ever have car insurance, renter's insurance, and/or home owner's insurance? You're in LexusNexis.

It's virtually impossible, unless you live on a homestead completely off the grid, to avoid these data brokers knowing things about you.
This is in general an unsolvable problem, and the only possible security is through obscurity. Images are on a spectrum, and so in order to hash an image, you must quantize the spectrum. Between two images, there is a continuum of mixed images. Using bisection, you can identify the point where it goes from matching to not matching. You can then upload the non-matching variant. Because of the way hashing works, this will be indistinguishable from any other non-matching image. Therefore, this creates an easy method to bypass facebook's filter while sacrificing minimal quality. As long as facebook matches against hashes, there is way to prevent bypassing of this form. All they can do is make it as difficult as possible.
I had 1/10 be inaccurate when I did that, which is still not good enough. Its definitely something that can be addressed. Not easy, but fixable. Thanks for bringing this particular query to my attention.

> That's ... just wrong

The lawyers would disagree with you. If the email address contains anything that identifies you personally, it's PII and thus falls under GDPR. Therefore, if you collect email addresses you have to go through great pains to protect them.

As for the rest of your stuff, while you are technically correct your comment is pretty useless. We live in a data driven world that requires.... well... collecting data. Saying "just dont collect email" isn't helpful and collecting IP address info without associating it with use data is pretty pointless.

It is a huge, expensive undertaking to make any kind of "legacy" pre-GDPR infrastructure GDPR compliant.

> If you simply avoid collecting data, none of the other stuff affects you.

If you are doing anything useful on the internet, you are collecting data.

Well, a good digest service would solve that.

Good digest would only exist on aggregating technologies like RSS.

and the XML wraps html-formatted articles, so unless you hate yourself, you'll need to be embedding a browser for rendering, which means bundling a browser too (even on certain browser embed providing platforms like win32, since it still uses IE11 as its browser embed)

of course its easy to generate RSS

Could you elaborate why you think it's easy to pollute hashes/fingerprints in this scheme? It seems to me that it would be hard to do reliably, since each hash submitted is going to be linked to an individual account. If an account submitted a bunch of hashes that matched non-explicit images, all further hash submissions from that user account could be rejected. (In the GP's proposed scheme a human can still verify a sample of all positive matches, to validate if they are true or false positives).

I think the point about revealing your fingerprinting system is a good one. But I wonder if the equilibrium point would still be better than what we have now, i.e. unsophisticated posters would get caught, and sophisticated ones might not, vs. what we have now where there is no way to catch any of these posts.

Yes. For me it is channels. After nearly 20 years of UNIX'ish systems, pipes are a mental abstraction that I do not have to think about any more. And channels fit right in, they feel much closer to a how a pipe is used on the cli than a pipe or socketpair ever did in code.

For example a range loop over a closed channel is, for me, piping things to xargs. It's easy to understand, reason and conceptualize because it feels familiar.

Facebook is discoverable because people invite you there, sites link to it, and you're often prompted to "log in with your Facebook account" into every damn thing you visit. People talk about Facebook; you hear it on the news, etc.

Facebook per se isn't discoverable. If Zuck had just registered "facebook.com", the domain, and put a server there and waited without promoting it, there would be no Facebook.
