The boundary should be that user generated personal data that is on a user device should stay personal on a user device unless explicit consent is otherwise given. That's it. The argument is always well "don't you want to save the children" to which I give this example.

In the USA guns are pretty freely available, relative to other countries. There is a huge amount of gun violence (including shooting at schools targeting children) yet every time major gun restriction legislation is introduced it fails, with one major reason being the 2nd amendment of the US constitution. This could again be amended, but sufficient support is not there for this to occur.
What does this say about the US?

They have determined, as a society, that the value of their rights is worth more than all the deaths, injuries and pains caused by gun violence. A similar argument can be made regarding surveillance and child porn, or really any other type of criminal activity.

The smartest developers are working on crud apps at a faang, it’s the smartest thing to do. It’s easy as shit and pays a ton. If you are smart, that’s what you do.

If you are hard working, then you do something hard, and doing hard things is … well, not so smart.

The question you should be asking is what are the modestly average developers trying to work hard on.

That actually make it more okay with me. Apple can't have child pornography on their servers, that would be illegal. However, the fact that they are doing the scanning one the device could indicate that they don't have the ability to do the scans in iCloud. Presumably they can't read even read the images once stored in iCloud, so they have to do it on the device.

I don't know if that's the reason, but seems like a reasonable guess.

Kleptocracy. Plutocracy.
I love using Docker Compose in theory, but I've found it really difficult to do local development with a "Docker only" setup on Mac, due to the performance issues with the filesystem layer (even when using cached volumes, etc). Ruby gemfiles and node_modules are big culprits here, since they involve a lot of filesystem accesses to load/install dependencies. It might be more manageable if I was just using Postgres from docker and had e.g. rubyenv and nodenv installed locally, but that sacrifices a lot of the benefits you gain from having a docker-compose setup, and I've never had any problems with managing multiple PG versions in my Postgres.app install.

It is what we seem to call the 'unknown unknown'. Basically something popped up that was not planned for and now you need to research/fix/qa and shove that in. Even our 'known' bits are always underestimated. Because many people are hopeful and willing to 'try harder'.

Heck I personally just did this. I scoped out a story. Then realized I had underestimated it because there was at least 2 tech stacks in the thing I had not used much. So I had to basically drop what I was going to do and figure out some PoC on that. THEN I could write my code.
The first quote says it happens to “all photos stored […] on a user’s iPhone”. The second quote clarifies that it only happens to photos that are going to be uploaded to iCloud Photos, and that the scan is performed before the upload happens.
>It's naive to think that you get a retired-Google-CEO-billionare by cold calling

Hey, you cut out the quote where I conditionally qualified my statement with "later guests who were not colleagues at MIT or his previous contract work at Google,".

Anyway, it seems reasonable to presume that his connections at Google went up the chain and reached Eric Schmidt. So it wouldn't have been a true cold call.

He said Elon Musk happened because his A.I. research on Tesla self-driving was already seen by Elon.

Some of the early guests who were professors via his MIT connections. Some guests (especially physicists) might have been connections with his dad who is a physics professor. His older brother runs a biotech company so that may also spur some introductions.

With "6-degrees-of-separation" being what it is, what looks like a cold-call to outsiders ("how did he get Eric Schmidt?!?") could have actually been a friend-of-a-friend or colleague-of-a-colleague. I'm a nobody and I happen to know the billionaire fund manager and owner of a major sports team. With 3-degrees of separation with various past co-workers, I can connect the dots to several CEOs of major corporations. That doesn't mean they'd agree to be on my hypothetical podcast if I asked them but if a few of them said "yes", some viewers would wonder, "how did he manage to get X with a cold call?" -- The answer is that my extended social graph is invisible to viewers and it really wasn't a cold call.

Examples of "later" guests that are more "cold calls" with no help from MIT/Google were Dan Carlin (Hardcore History) and some of the female guests who weren't scientists. This isn't speculation because the guests themselves said they looked at Lex's previous podcasts to see his work.

In general, the playbook for a new podcaster (with no audience of millions yet) to get guests follows a similar trajectory:

1) Start with personal connections to build a body of work. Cold-calling famous people won't work at this early stage because they don't have any prior work to see to if it's worth their time.

2) The previous podcasts episodes can start to act as a résumé so host doesn't have to rely on personal connections. The ever-increasing audience numbers also pads the résumé and adds credibility to the interviewer.

3) The transition eventually happens where interviewer can get new guests based on reputation more than personal connections.

How likely are perceptual hashes to give a false positive? If I take a picture of a tree, how likely is it that a few pixels are going to line up just right in a hashing algorithm and say it might be child porn? How likely is it that law enforcement is going to understand the limitations of this technology? How likely is it that the judicial system will understand the limitations of this technology before issuing a search warrant?

I can see law enforcement showing up at my door one day demanding to have a look around, and I would have no idea why they’re there, but they’ll want to look through all my personal belongings.

Worse yet, I might come home from work one day, see my windows broken, see my place has been ransacked and my computers are missing. I would call the police to report a burglary only to hear that I’m under investigation and they need me to give them the key to decrypt my hard drives.

I feel like I need to do some risk analysis on my digital life. I need my phone for 2FA apps for investment accounts. If I use a dumb phone, I’m stuck with SMS, which is easy to hack. But if we use iPhones, there is a small but costly risk of a completely erroneous investigation. How do you balance these without knowing the probability and impact of the later?

Not with Lithium-Ion tech, no. But aluminum-air batteries provide an order of magnitude higher densities of energy(~1300Wh/kg), and should be able to power a large-ish plane. The main problem being of course that aluminum air batteries are not rechargable, but all you'd need to do is swap the spent aluminium rods at the airport and replace them with fresh ones - then use renewable energy nearby to melt and reform the aluminium rods to be used again.

It's not that much of a concern, but mostly because tests are widely available. Test your basement for radon, and only worry about it if the levels are high.
Big fan of the first point. I pretty much try my hardest not to put third party libraries for tiny features. Obviously there's gotta be a balance but I don't see a point in introducing massive bloated libraries for small features.
I'm waiting for orthodox authorities to do stuff like reporting pictures of people (not just girls) without head coverings. or dressed in bikinis, thongs, or underwear (like a significant number of "influencers" do, every day).

There are already places in this world, where a couple can be arrested for kissing in public. I suspect that the folks enforcing those laws, would have some real interest in this capability.

Not to mention nations (many in Africa, but there are also Eurasian nations), where homosexuality is banned (or even considered for death penalties). If your phone has a picture of two men (or women) embracing, it could cause nightmares.

I recently switched off Thunderbird because the company I work for dropped PGP and switched to Microsoft's OME which is (surprise!) best supported by Outlook.

I don't have the feeling that PGP/GPG is growing in popularity and if that's Thunderbird's big feature, it might not help them.
It won’t matter. Most of the public will applaud the move, many will call for it to be rolled out across every platform, including desktops. As this gathers momentum, it will eventually become illegal not to have pervasive scanning apps running on your device. Naturally, the technology will almost immediately be expanded to other kinds of content, and will be used as a wide open backdoor into everything in everyone’s life.

While this is not inevitable, I see a strong, perhaps overwhelming public response as being the only thing that will prevent it, and I do not see that response happening.

Is it relevant that other companies were doing this already? No. Apple wasn't doing this, so people invested in using Apple as a digital platform for their digital lives instead of the companies you mentioned, suddenly we are stabbed in the back by them.

You make it seem like it is weird to care about sudden local government corruption just because there are other countries that already were corrupted.
I think a lot of people view it as true, but they also think society won't just give up when it happens.
Disappointing.

While moderating CP distribution and storage is obviously the right thing to do, I do not think this approach will be a worthwhile endeavor for apple and governments.

Let me explain: imagine you are bad guy with bad stuff on your iphone, and you hear apple will be scanning your phone. What is the next logical thing you would do? Migrate your stuff to something else, obviously. Encrypting a usb stick does not require a high degree of technical skill [1]; neither does running tor browser.

So I am thinking 3 things:

1. This is not about CP or doing the right thing, but rather apple bowing to government/s pressure to create a half-ass backdoor to monitor and squash dissidents.

2. Apple and government/s are incompetent and do not realize that criminals are always one step ahead.

3. Most likely, some combination of the above - government/s have demonstrated they are willing to go hard on dissidents on the personal electronics front [2], not realizing that they will only mitigate, not exterminate, the dissent they fear so much.

For the average joe, I would say this - your privacy is effectively gone when you use an electronic device that comes with closed-source code pre-installed.

For the benevolent dissidents - there are many tools at your disposal [3, 4].

Likely next iteration - governments / courts / cops compel suspects to hand over passwords and encryption keys over to prosecutors. It looks like it already started [5, 6], so act accordingly.

I guess it depends how you look at it, but regarding my point it isn’t.

For example most ecom apps/sites are surely ”unique” based on how you described it, but customers have nearly unlimited options/alternatives these days.
Should they persist in this, if I don't replace my current iPhone with an alternative, I will definitely not buy an iPhone for my next phone. It's a gross overreach and I'd be too worried about false positives.
"They're going to scan your phone and probably have someone review any photos with a lot of human flesh in them" would be enough to get a lot of non-technical users to take notice.

That would get a lot of people nervous. Let alone anyone smart who thinks through the implications here of how far the line is being pushed on how public your phone is.
My pessimistic take is that they’ll continue to be in denial until we’ll after they are personally hit.
That argument is true for every transaction
The country side is not a silver bullet. It has its own set of problems with pesticides and second-order pollution such as ozone which can be higher than in urban areas. And as other have pointed out, moving to the country side does induce significant extra driving.
Thanks for the example. You're right about package churn, especially if you're working alone. You don't want to spend all your time updating dependencies. Not having a build step must be a breath of fresh air too.
Unfortunately, there's always a trade-off. You want both quality data for your use case, but you also want lots of data so it generalizes well. Those are conflicting goals.

Fortunately, splitting models into separate accent-specialized variants and helping them out with language model training will often help in case the model doesn't cope well enough with the cognitive dissonance.
Moreover, if they make it truly end-to-end encrypted, they wouldn't even need to scan on the server side (since they'd only be storing random bytes from their perspective).
Just a nitpick, but FYI: Thunderbird now has an integrated PGP implementation, but it does not use GnuPG (GPG). Rather they integrated another PGP implementation called RNP. The standard is called OpenPGP, PGP is the original (proprietary) implementation and GnuPG was originally created as a compatible free software alternative to PGP. In previous Thunderbird versions (before 78), the quasi-standard Enigmail extension provided OpenPGP support via GPG.

A side effect of this is that Thunderbird does not interact with your GPG keyring anymore. So if you locally trusted a certain key using GPG for example, Thunderbird won't know about it and will ask you to verify it again.

External locus of control is the key idea there and can change some peoples self image. It's such an important concept. The view I have is about strategies to navigate dmeoralized environments without personalizing them, and while being able to appreciate the local pools of relative goodness when they occur.

On absurdism, part of the beauty of the show Rick and Morty is they travel to different universes that seem physically ridiculous, but there is a fairly constant moral theme in each of them that maps to a plausible human interaction that is just insane enough to be funny because each one is the expression of an human incentive iterated over time that forms a culture. It's a lot like consulting.
A better title would be: Apple to scan iPhones for banned images.

SwiftOnSecurity:

> Just to state: Apple's scanning does not detect photos of child abuse. It detects a list of known banned images added to a database, which are initially child abuse imagery found circulating elsewhere. What images are added over time is arbitrary. It doesn't know what a child is.

Whoever gave you the loan knew that, and they adjusted the interest rate and conditions to still make it a good deal for them. If inflation had been lower, the loan's interest would have been too.
Apple actually isn't legally liable for what users upload until it's reported to them. And they are capable of doing the scanning server-side, since iCloud doesn't use end-to-end encryption.
