>"have the complainers suggest a solution"

Being worried about privacy, establishing a precedent for scanning my data against a government database, and the risk of false positives with such an insanely emotionally charged crime is more than mere complaining.

The onus should not be on me to justify why this shouldn't be done. This is something new and it is perfectly fine to argue against it without needing to provide an alternative.

That being said, my solution is to continue to follow the process that law enforcement is currently using.
Some examples would be:
1. Alice is the controller of a machine in a factory, Bob is a remote worker controlling the machine from home. (there could be thousands of Alice, one Bob)

2. Alice is an internal system in Enterprise Data Center 1, Bob is a Microsevice in the Cloud

3. Alice is health monitoring device, Bob is a remote doctor's tablet. (there could be 100s of thousands of Alice. On of Bob)

4. Alice is a connected car, Bob is a service in the cloud, that uses a third party vendor's managed Kafka to communicate with Alice and wants to guarantee secure software updates / machine learning model updates to Alice (there is a fleet of Alice).

etc.

Any use case where you're using third party services/intermediaries and want to keep the vulnerability surface of your application as small as possible.

If they do start allowing drones to do deliveries in cities. Please, please, someone get a grant to study if the bird start attacking any particularly colored drones or drones that originate in certain places.

First off, congrats on your venture! as a foodie I'm elated.

I realize that you're trying to create your own brand, my concern is:

- if it's a brand that does all cuisines, it is going to attract people mainly because of the price point, and not uniqueness

- if the idea is to build multiple brands, one each for a specific type of food: a brand for Pizza, another for Biryani, etc., then scaling each is its own demon

please correct me if I'm not understanding it right.

On a side note,

> But it didnt work and they shut down all locations

Do you have any knowledge of why it didn't work? I have a few thoughts around this, and have discussed this with a friend who's a restaurateur, but would love to hear from you!
yeah I seem to remember being able to make it stay on the screen if you start another action.

Clearly there is an intent to progress to more than just what's been shared with iCloud. Otherwise there'd be no need for software on the devices themselves at all.

I am very worried about setting a precedent for mandating a medical procedure like this. Times like these are when it's both the hardest and the most important to stand by principles like that.

It's very easy to give up power to government and very hard to claw it back, and I'm of the opinion that it's not worth giving up norms like this in the long term, even if I agree that in the short term this would be good. I feel similar about e.g. free speech and privacy.

I think the main problem is that the average investor feels uncomfortable around me when they know my backstory. Maybe it makes them question the meritocracy narrative. Maybe they feel guilty (about their own success) by being around me. People don't like to be reminded about how lucky they are.

> According to people briefed on the plans, every photo uploaded to iCloud in the US will be given a “safety voucher” saying whether it is suspect or not. Once a certain number of photos are marked as suspect, Apple will enable all the suspect photos to be decrypted and, if apparently illegal, passed on to the relevant authorities.
the issue for me isn't that a mistake was made, the issue is that the parties responsible for the mistake conspired in secret without official record to cover up their error, and left the man dumped in a homeless shelter with fifty cents.
> Child abusers evolve and are very happy if law enforcement doesn't.

Yes. And now they will evolve by developing a simple system to modify pixels in images when they copy and transmit that will easily defeat this hashing system. The only effect this will have is that moral panickers like you will have got everybody's privacy invaded over your moral panic of the day.

Binance won’t get medical records in fight over $10M crypto, says Malta charity
Because trackable doesn't mean "always trackable to a real human identity who's the original source". Bitcoin transactions are trivial for anyone to track, since everything is recorded on the public blockchain, but you can't necessarily follow the trail to the true culprit even if you're law enforcement. Especially if there are non-cooperative entities in the chain who are completely outside of your jurisdiction.

Though, the true answer to your actual question is what the other commenter said: it's mainly due to the Russian government turning a blind eye to it as long as they don't target Russian/ex-USSR citizens. So even if you do know a ransomware operator's full name and home address and everything else you can possibly know about them, you can't do anything about it besides hope they leave the country and try to catch them then.
"very limited uses" mmmmm what? Reactive frameworks are one of the widest used front-end design patterns.

You answered my questions with a bunch of theoretical non-answers that comes off like a tech purist who hasn't actually used the technologies but has a lot of opinions about them. Do you have a lot of experience designing non-trivial/complicated web apps with very heavy front-end features? "layout engine", "widget hierarchies" what _exactly_ does that mean in the context of designing something as complicated as Google Analytics/FB Biz Manager using javascript. If you are proposing not using primarily JS logic but rather server logic, or not as a SPA (or isometric hybrid like nuxt/next), then that makes me want to hear your answer even more.

All of the benefits that taxes provide. I don't even know them all offhand, let alone have enough space to enumerate them fully.

Some of the major benefits that come to mind: Protect by a world superpower military and diplomacy, welfare and social security, a stable place to return to in the case of trouble, a country that ensures development of vaccines and provides them for it's population in the case of pandemics.

I would really like us to add to that list: medicare (or similar) for all as well as some other social benefits that make sense to enable more risk free pursuit of happiness and simplify employment.
This really needs to be emphasized more. Just because a problem is caused by climate change doesn't mean that waiting for climate change to be stopped is the right solution. There is local action that can and should be taken.
So the personal beliefs of users decide the technical future of the project. Personal beliefs and culture can change rapidly, or become overshadowed by new users.

It says:

>Our modeling suggests that SARS-CoV-2 mutants with one or two mildly deleterious mutations are expected to exist in high numbers due to neutral genetic variation, and consequently resistance to vaccines or other prophylactics that rely on one or two antibodies for protection can develop quickly -and repeatedly- under positive selection.

1 or 2 mutations isn't enough. It would need an order of magnitude more. It's very unlikely for that to happen.

I'm surprised no one is bringing up sanctions for the psychologists involved. In the US legal system, you can be found unfit to stand trial, as this man was. Which means you are involuntarily committed to a mental facility and treated until you are deemed fit to stand trial. This is meant to prevent the state from prosecuting someone completely incapable of understanding what is going on and defending themselves. As a result, being found fit to stand trial is a very low bar to reach. It essentially means you know what a judge is, what a jury is, what a lawyer is, and what you are being charged with. You can be found fit to stand trial even with fairly serious delusions. I'm shocked he was considered unfit to stand trial simply because he claimed to be a different person.
Fascism (and other forms of tyrany) can't exist in the face of free speech which is why tyrants always seek to control and limit all forms of communication. The coddling of fascism happened in Europe in the first half of the 20th century because speech was not free. America, however, even allows Nazis to march and it's doing better than places like France and Germany with their web of speech laws.

In short, you have it the wrong way round.

> What advice would you give Apple if they’re faced with a legitimate government asking it to comply with the laws they have instituted in the society Apple wants to do business?

When someone is trying to rob you, generally the best thing to do is to hand over your wallet. If a law passes you should obey it for your own sake. That's an entirely orthogonal question to whether we as the users should be outraged or not.

Also while obeying an injust law, a company has a responsibility to legally challenge it in court with their resources, if for no other reason than to avoid the profit loss of having to comply with invasive regulations

Furthermore, it's not clear that this is the direct result of some federal law. It reads more like pro-actively appeasing their federal overlords.

I just ran a search and found the median US personal income is around $35k. $108k may be low for a tech job but most people don't have high paying tech jobs.
If you read the link, you'd learn that in the 10 most populous US states, 2.4 million minimum wage workers are victims of wage theft annually. This loss averages $3,300 per (full time, year round) worker per year, and just under $8 billion in total per year.

And that's only minimum wage workers, in a subset of the US.

Was there a particular reason you were under the impression that wage theft was uncommon?

> eliminating the energy spent on maintaining the fiat system which is easily more than 1.5% of global emissions

Absolutely. It's impossible to accurately account for, but a significant part of why the US Military Industrial Complex is so over-provisioned is to maintain dollar hegemony. 800 international US military bases, the Iraq war, invasion of Libya, force projection exercises by the navy, etc. Being the world police is expensive (in both dollars and CO2), and we wouldn't need to be if we weren't trying to tenuously maintain our status as world reserve currency.

"the DOD is the world's largest institutional user of petroleum and correspondingly, the single largest institutional producer of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the world. 5 From FY1975 to FY2018, total DOD greenhouse gas emissions were more than 3,685 Million Metric Tons of CO2 equivalent."

https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/files/cow/imce/papers/Pe...

Certainly the US military has other goals besides maintaining dollar hegemony, but if the dollar wasn't the world reserve currency there would be less need and funds for maintaining such a bloated amount of power.
Wouldn't it be easiest to tax some of the raw materials that go into fuel production, rather than tracking every fuel use? In that case, the CO2 tax will naturally fall equally to everyone, including individual people. The rebate is just there to cancel out the effect of an inherently regressive but technically convenient way of doing things.
Good explanation.

> The term "toxic masculinity" does not imply "masculinity = toxic".

It totally does though, whether that's the intention or not. If I talk about "greedy Frenchmen", that technically just means, the (perhaps tiny) subset of Frenchmen who are greedy, but in practice, through a quirk of language, it also communicates an idea about Frenchmen being greedy.

Hopefully, "greedy Frenchmen" is not an expression that pushes anybody's buttons too much, but I think most people will be able to think of comparable "[Adjective] [Noun]" examples that illustrate the problem more vividly.
"People realize that securing the transport isn't the same as securing the application, which often hops over multiple transports."

Exactly right. Application layer trust, with the transport and security layers abstracted away. This is important, since app developers typically can't control the transports from end to end, or at scale.

>I think the culprit really is the clickbait, gotta get it out before someone else does, media. They seem to rarely fact check things anymore before pushing it out and when they are proven wrong retractions rarely happen.

I think the culprit is people like yourself, who post a link to the government sending ventilators a month later, and pretending like it happened at the time New York was begging for them. What ACTUALLY happened was after 3 weeks of unending negative press, Trump finally caved and released ventilators.

>"FEMA says, 'we're sending 400 ventilators.' Really? What am I going to do with 400 ventilators, when I need 30,000?" Cuomo said at a news conference.

>Later, Trump announced he would supply another 4,000 ventilators to New York from the national stockpile, but he added a claim that Cuomo had turned down the chance to stock up on thousands of ventilators in 2015.

>The lines between the democratic party and the media is definitely blurred, which isn't surprising as there are a lot of media execs who end up working for administrations for some time. It really is a worrying trend.

I'm not even sure what to do with that. The Trump administration literally hired Fox News employees to be a part of the administration. Fox News was founded to be a propaganda wing for the Republican party to ensure that they could try to control the message the next time they were caught in a situation like Watergate. And your concern is the media and the democratic party?

"Betsy S met me at a lunch around 40 years ago. I am sure her recounting of her recollections is sincere, but she must have misunderstood the last thing I said to her. She said she didn't want an acquaintance with me. That no, on top of so many noes from others, impelled me to express despair; she seems to have misconstrued that as a demand.

Betsy S, I regret that this misunderstanding caused you distress. I never intended to demand anything of you. I only ever wished you well. "

I could see the argument in calling this emotional abuse if there was a pattern of doing this, especially to partners, but there isn't. It's almost always used as a form of emotional blackmail in toxic relationships or with children. It is effective in that context and a common form of abuse.

What this looks more like is the cynical exploitation of a singular expression of, yes, cringey vulnerability from 40 years in the past used to try and cancel RMS with a grand old witch hunt.

Now that's emotional abuse.
