>Google isn't spying on your private files, but does scan them when you share them publicly.

What's more likely:

A) That they make a single-pass scan over a file for various purposes

B) They make multiple, separate scans over a file at different times depending on sharing status and other factors

I'd contend that it's more likely to be A, and that it almost certainly happens as soon as the data becomes visible to Google. I'd be very surprised if they didn't scan immediately to de-dupe and detect illegal pornography, for example. Once that's a given, it doesn't make much sense to do a separate kind of scanning later based on a different set of criteria; You scan once and flag for the respective detections immediately.
>consumer dissent is skyrocketing

I don't think it is, people just don't care. They want to pull the device out of their pocket and take a picture or message a friend. If anything a more general purpose device would have less appeal because it may well get in the way of doing those things.
If you commute to work, you can already start working. Then the travel time counts as working time.
Fake transactions take more than a 50% attack to execute. Because the transactions simply do not come with the required signatures.

For rolling back transactions, a 50% attack actually convinces the remaining honest nodes. For invalid transactions, even if you have 90% of the network, the remaining 10% of honest nodes will not follow the wrong chain.

This means anyone could detect this happening. At which point faith in eth will plummet, and so will prizes.
I agree that great claims sometimes need great proof - and I am skeptical of that particular story.

However I also agree with gp(?) swatting and similar is a problem.

I've experienced these things from internet things - resulted in knocks on the door, 'certified letters' - and pics of my house posted online with people on said blog asking others to drive by and honk.. I'm talking three separate incidents by two or three different people for different reasons - all from internet.

luckily for us it was more nerve racking that people were trying these things and nothing aside from the knocks became an issue - well one of them cost me a business relationship now that I think about it.
Yes, it's strange considering they already settled a previous lawsuit over misrepresenting the safety of the self-driving capabilities of their cars... There has been talk of potentially forming another class-action lawsuit to deal with Tesla's false advertising over autonomous driving. The whole area doesn't have many federal regulations yet. That's also part of the issue
Beginning to feel like it's about something inside the embassy, of US origin, not externally induced. Austria wouldn't be a place non US agencies could easily conduct ops without some RF or other sign being detected. This problem has such high US and Canadian specificity its very hard now to say China/Russia/Cuba caused this.

I tend to experimental treatments or prophylaxis for bio or chem agents or a neurotoxic side effect of some secret preserving technology. Hell, maybe it's BPA released in the government issue microwave popcorn bags, but it's not psyops from "outside forces"
Thanks for the link! Didn't know about the background of it. I sort of suspect this though, it seemed to me that journalists who use a term like glitch are basically glancing over the details that they either can't or don't want to try to understand, which is a failure in both cases imo. I mean I somewhat accept it from a random TV presenter, but it's truly sad to see this from so called "technology" journalists, or even "Science’s senior correspondent in the United Kingdom, covering astronomy, physics, and energy stories as well as European policy."
Can't blame him, seems like a totally valid concern. He should have said, "That sounds like a really good deal. But I've got a better one. How about I give you the finger?"
I don't even use google, except I have a youtube login, and many friends I correspond with use gmail. In the present surveillance regime we can experience, through the medium of digital communications, the myth of the Evil Eye and the fear of being watched with bad intention.

Trump lied, period. And it lead to and is leading to a lot of negatives.

As for the virus personally I don’t care where it came from but people can believe whatever they want. We have a vaccine now, don’t want it then don’t, doesn’t affect those that chose to. “The big lie” however affects us all, and that’s a problem.

In the case of covid the math changes. Generally speaking if it affects only you, have at it. If it spills out and affects others, problem. Though I’m not gonna argue the pedantry of that, that can devolve quickly

I’m a bit confused here. ReviewMeta, the site that filtered review, was mostly making money by selling items as an Amazon seller ?

The business model was to find items people are browsing on Amazon and then find a drop shipping niche ?
Disclaimer: I have a degree in robotics and worked for what is now Lyft Level 5, dealing with autonomous driving.

What it does is basically a big optimization problem. You have 6 parameters for each picture (x, y, z, roll, pitch, yaw, although in practice there are better parametrizations based on what is called Quaternions). Than three prameters for the position of each keypoint. Those are simply the same physical spots on multiple image that are matched based on their visual appearance.

Last component is a metric that you try to optimize. That is mostly just reprojection error. Given all your current estimates where yould the keypoints be projected on this synthetic image. Then you compare it with the pixel locations of where it actually in and try to minimize this.

It is actually a very versatile and robust pipeline which gives you what you’ve seen on the images.

Last step is to produce the dense reconstruction which is commonly done using patch match algorithm.

You can try it for yourself with the OpenMVG library. Very hackable and versatile.
Of course, that'd be moving in the wrong direction entirely. It should be easy to immigrate.
Didn't they do something close to that with Hugh Weaving to make a lot of CG Agent Smiths?
Ok I'm not pro censorship, but I'll bite your bait.

Firstly, this is a content policy, this is separate from actual enforcement. I would doubt that google enforces this proactively, rather they want a possibility to shut down what has now been dubbed 'fake news'.

Secondly, reading this with an open mind their focus seems to be on dangerous falsehoods, think things that can get people in prison (double voting?), health issues ('bleach anema for 3 year olds cures autism', 'vitamin D prevents covid', 'covid is an invention of the deep state', ...), or manipulated information that claims to represent another's view ('manipulated media ... that may pose a risk of egregious harm', e.g. I'd imagine a fake NYT article saying that masks are harmful).

Third, this is a private platform, not a government body enforcing its views.

Last, there are some dangerous lies. In Germany its illegal to state the holocaust never happened. You can discuss details and question parts of the narrative but not doubt that it ever happened. You can't have neo-nazis claiming that its all a big conspiracy and that others were at fault - which, if you know your history, is one of the very ways the nazis justified WW2. This law was an essential tool to counter similar tendencies after Germany lost WW2. In contrast, in Poland its illegal to state that Poles contributed to the holocaust, which is however a true fact that is just politically unwelcome. So the issue here is not whether there is a truth, and also not whether lies can be dangerous (bleach anema to get rid of your kids' autism!), but rather who does and how truth is arbited. A government/company shouldnt be able to shut down every dissenting opinion but I can't believe anyone honestly believes that there should be no way to challenge and limit the spread of dangerous lies. You can think and discuss what you want, but if you broadcast your views to a wide audience you should also be held to a higher standard. The real issue is who does the accounting.

I have been holding out for protondrive for a few years myself. It’s going to take them time to build out more apps for native integration. I wonder how the performance will be with the focus so heavily on keeping data in Switzerland.

In the meantime I tried out Tresorit which is end to end encrypted and which worked fine for several years but they were acquired by Swiss post whose intentions I don’t understand.

I’m now working on closing Tresorit and adopting boxcryptor. Price is really nice and it can end to end encrypt files in iCloud Drive which proves to be fast for me wherever I use it around the world.

Again, Google is not stopping you from using your speech.

If they ban you, they are telling you that they don't want you on their private property.

They don't take away your internet connection.

When did society need Google, or Twitter, or FB to function? They do not. Those are simply three websites. There are literally millions more.

If this site banned me, I lost literally nothing. If Google Drive banned me(assuming I have an account, which I do not) I lost literally nothing. Same for FB. Same for Twitter.

They are not required for a functional society.

Why is that so hard to understand?
Of course it is
Bullshit. This "private company doing whatever they want" argument can rot in hell.

All major social media companies (Google, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and possibly mobile carriers) get instructions from- and collaborate with the government on the topic of suppressing information.

You literally have Ministry of Truth, implemented as Fact Check inc. The USA is already beyond the pale, and people keep spouting this idiotic "private companies" argument.

Your perception of the lab leak "flip flop" is exaggerating what actually happened.

How do you handle content designed to flood the public and manufacture a narrative ?

I mean you want the “public” to be able to “challenge” the misinformation.

But fundamentally the public has N number of compute units per day and the attackers have N^N compute units.

This is throwing unarmed citizens directly into an army trained to crush unarmed citizens.

The attackers are DESIGNED with the awareness that people will be having this argument on hackernews.

A non American perspective:

A government is the administrator chosen by the people to take care of its collective concerns.

If the people identify negative issues that affect the demos - they may ask their government to interfere. In any democracy this power is limitless, with the minor caveat of supranational authorities like the UN.

In that way - any government can and should censor speech if its populace asks it to, given it’s the legislature who sets the law. (Prime example: German laws about Nazi symbols).

A company, as Zuckerberg requested, should not be in the position to make these decisions arbitrarily. It should suffice if it follows the law.

In America the legislative breakdown, in combination with the fanatic believe in free speech, seems to be standing in the way of this, bringing the entire western world to the brinks of a precipice.

There’s a bit of nuance there though to isn’t there?

Let’s be honest, “misinformation” between 2016-2020 just meant “things written about me I don’t like”, it only came from one person/group.
You can encrypt stuff to Google Drive. You can sync a Truecrypt (http://www.truecrypt.org/) folder or use something like Syncdocs (https://syncdocs.com) that does the encryption/decryption automatically.

Do Google Drive Terms now prohibit encryption?
But there's a difference between 'disagree' and 'state objectively false things'. The US media especially is poisoned with stuff like that - see all the lies around covid and mask wearing.
> What you thought was misinformation is only really a few studies away from being flipped around.

To be clear, that matters because by censoring "misinformation" you are killing these studies, therefore we are by definition stuck wherever we are right now.

New science and "misinformation" as defined by our digital overlords intersect.
This positions google as an intermediary.

Someone else has figured out what is misinformation and is telling google.
In a free society, people must be allowed the ability to discern for themselves which information is useful, true, or otherwise. We do not need a state or its proxies to tell us which information is correct.
> the one good movie

It's the opposite for me, I liked them all, but the first one was just a good old rehash of Socrate's cave allegory. It offered hardly anything new, but was pretentious with various references to Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulation, which is precisely a critique of the cave allegory. The first one was accessible, simple, fun. The sequels were no less fun, but you had to think. While the first ones referenced Christian mythology a lot, the sequels jumped into Eastern metaphysics.

The number I see frequently as the threshold of "heavy drinking" is 15 drinks per week, so I certainly agree that it's not accurate to call 14 drinks per week "moderate".

15 drinks per week is actually the limit here for commercial drivers. If you admit to drinking more than that during your annual/semi-annual DMV physical, you have essentially just admitted to alcoholism and can't keep driving class A/B vehicles unless you enter a substance abuse program.

Well that's not a very real distinction. No observational study can ever claim to prove causation at most it can provide data that supports causation is highly likely. The conclusion and how it's presented will naturally be in terms of likelihoods of some outcomes based on certain assumptions — which is exactly how this research is presented.

The Space Shuttle was powered by fuel cells rather than solar panels. It could only operate in space as long as it had oxygen and hydrogen available. So there was never an option to "leave one in space" as it could only last a couple weeks at best.

There was a "space tug" concept out of MSFC in the 70s that was basically a capsule with some robot arms mounted on a service module. It would have acted as a repair truck as you say.

It would have also been limited by consumables. Refueling in orbit is a non-trivial problem to solve. As is maintaining an orbital fuel depot. A tug and depot would only be able to service satellites in compatible orbits. So you might need to maintain dozens in orbit to service different orbital planes and altitudes.
They're not marketed as devices that tell the "current" time.

Except i guess things like https://www.amazon.ca/Infinity-Itc-Atomic-Clock-Controlled/d... which do actually auto set the current time.
I'm a fair way from the vocal HN crowd on this one. I can't see the problem with Tesla calling what they have "Full" self driving. I don't know who keeps the official definition, but I don't care what they think and vice versa. This looks like full self driving to me.

You lot are very demanding. I'm not sure the public will care that much.
Or indeed, correct information that contradicts an officially recognised position.
This is true, sorry. I'm just saying it felt odd because over a number of different computers, a lot of things didn't work right, but this specific thing always did. I didn't even know it could not work right.
Ehh, is it worth doubling the fuel use + wear and tear?
If all of them suffer from the same issue (let's say memory corruption), you end up with 5 satellites that will fail on the same timeline.

What happens if you get into a traffic accident while in autopilot, in terms of insurance and blame in general? Suppose the AI scratches another car. Normally, as in driving manually, your insurance would bump your costs up, because they're readjusting how likely you're to make another accident, but this is the car driving.
I expected lots of curse words, I am greatly disappointed.
Are you arguing that the people who decide what's misinformation and what isn't are somehow immune to that kind of hack on their reasoning faculties?
