It's hard to find the Chinese Hollywood market but Fast and Furious 9 earned US$135 million at the Chinese box office opening weekend 2021. Hollywood sequels do very well in China.

DVD's and Blue Ray have plummeted, but streaming is up. Over all home market is up.

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11/08/the-death-of-the-dvd-why-sal...

I would have thought Behind the Candelabra would do better in a streaming market. Compared to buying super hero movies.

Behind the Candelabra had no cinema release in the US, it was released straight to HBO.
That's utterly ridiculous and you're clearly arguing in bad faith.

Let's say I do have the infinite amount of time necessary and the technical expertise to conduct an audit of a custom ROM. Is every single person who's interested in privacy and security required to do their own audit?

If I publish my findings, why should anybody ever believe me? Who am I to tell anybody how safe it is? If you think it's so safe, why don't you do an audit and prove it to those of us with doubts instead of expecting us to do it?

Oh, right. You're operating on faith on these groups of people that you don't know who don't have any processes in place to ensure that what they're doing is safe for their users.
As much as I dislike what Apple is doing here, Apple is a long way down the list of companies that should be a black mark on your resume.

Oracle is a MUCH better target, for example.
Thanks for sharing this little anecdote:)
Yeah I think a lot of us are conscious of the problem but you're right, the scale/critical mass isn't quite there yet hmm.

BTW I think one of the roots of our problem is that we seem to end up in these really weird "winner take all" distributions with only 2-3 main winners and rarely any serious alternatives. It happens with operating systems, browsers, it also happens within programming language communities, like Javascript, etc. Everybody piles up into one of the 2-3 most popular framework options (React, etc). Same thing for Linux distributions. etc.

It would be nice if we could figure out some sort of nudge or hack that would reduce this tendency and encourage more distribution of mass.

His PhD was about environmental damage in China. That is not something cultural or diplomatic. It does not require close ties with China, though it does help to have access.

Nothing here means you shouldn't criticize China. In fact, the premise of the research becomes moot if you cannot criticize China.
Until we get self-driving cars. Or a better network of trains. Not sure which is more plausible.
I think the important question is, can we trust a large company like Google, Apple or Intel again in the future, and how do we know that they're not spying on us?
Generally what happens is that some fraction of viewers are abusers, and investigating them uncovers that abuse.
Not only in Russia. It's sad to see a country (in central europe) which puts a guy 8 years in jail for raping children more than 8 years, justifying such invazive software as defence against CP.
A cartoon which has Chinese characters is not racist.
>>Who the hell pays that for a car, when half that gets you a car just as nice but running on gasoline?

Does it? What example do you have in mind? Because the only one I can think of is perhaps the E-Tron compared to the Audi Q5, and I'd argue that to reach the "half" mark you'd get a Q5 that has barely any options fitted in, while the E-Tron will come packed with tech. And then yes, there is the Tesla Model S which is absolutely not worth the money they are asking, but it's an exception not the rule. There's more and more EV vehicles where there isn't a non-EV equivalent for half the price.
Thanks! This is probably the first time I've heard C called not a small language.

Perl was my main language for over a decade, and when I wanted to go lower, I honestly struggled... but not with the language itself, with the peripherals which are exactly what you described!
Huh, or you can just use encryption if you'll be using some SW based transformation anyway.
So, if I understand correctly, the NCMEC provides a bunch of hashes of CSAM for Apple to match. This way Apple doesn’t get exposed to the content of images themselves? Then Apple will provide a user’s details plus the IDs of matching content. This identifies the direction of travel for any CSAM content?

So, now NCMEC and any local NCMEC can provide new hashes and identify – possibly even historically – the epicentre of the distribution of a group of images.

Except, if Apple only gets the hashes, what’s to stop a bad actor in a NCMEC from providing non CSAM images to Apple for other purposes?

Seems like this technology should be illegal without a warrant. It’s a wire tap.
Wow, “potentially illegal” is extremely broad indeed.
Ask HN: How Are PDFs Protected?

> Also willing to bet these cases of teen moms and alcoholic parents will be much more prevalent among the poorer classes in India than in the west in general.

Precisely why the social restrictions exist. Alcohol has been a taboo in most parts of the country until the recent 2 decades with "westernisation".

About 25% of children in the US are in single parent families. By itself isn't bad, but the cascading effects on society may be significant.

This is theft. Plain and simple theft.

What makes you think I haven't listened to myself? And don't bring God into this, he's left the conversation a long long time ago; This shit's on us. I really couldn't care less if you think their plans are balanced or reasonable -- I don't agree with that on a fundamental level because Apple has long passed that threshold. This is just their latest digging a deeper hole. And why should I feel obligated to add to a conversation that has long gone nowhere? What can I add to it that wouldn't just get ignored anyways. I might as well inject my honest opinion, however much it'll be ignored.
As others have pointed out, neither is C if you take into account avoiding UB, the preprocessor, the build systems, the many stdlib functions you need to avoid, etc. You might already know how these work, but that doesn't mean there's less to learn than a language like Rust.
I think at this stage big companies affecting societies in a big way may be forced to publish source code that people of those societies run on their personal devices. At least the client side.
I doubt the UCA is actually going to check. But it us still horrible that a university is enacting such a political requirement.

It feels to me much more aimed at being able to fire people when controversy arrises than something used to actively screen new hires. Though perhaps the self-selection is also meant as a goal.
What feedback loop is built into the system to discourage this from being the regular thing?

Hahaha.

You must be joking. Really. A link to NYT and theAtlantic? Stand up comedy might just be your thing.
"And before you accuse me of things,"

You're using a moniker 'casualracism' trying to exploit the notion of a cartoon which has 'Chinese Characters' as inherently racist, even though that's entirely likely to be a weaponized use of the term given the political context.

"If you criticized China, you are Racist" is bad form.

It's a very easy and common method of CCP duplicity to simply blow the 'racism' dog whistle and have 1/2 of Westerners immediately lose context and get distracted.

There's no way what the PhD student did should lead to anything other than someone being trite on Twitter and that would be the end of it.
Nim compiles to C, so it can be a drop in replacement.

> Having no oil changes adds up in savings.

You probably don’t need to change your oil as often as you are, if it’s registering as an expense at all.

Check what the manufacturer actually says - for example my manufacturer says don’t bother changing for two years. Lots of Americans driving the exact same cars change their oil every three months for no reason.
They probably just meant kW instead of kWh.
It is very convenient to only mention the racist picture and not also mention the accusation of the Chinese Coronavirus cover-up.

The latter is just as bad for the CCP and would also lead to the events we have seen.

But it's obvious that when you are doing Chinese studies paid by a Chinese university, then you're not free from repercussions when you tweet from a European country.

So yes, China is influencing European universities and the west appears to accept this.
Computer hardware giant GIGABYTE hit by RansomEXX ransomware
Stallman hasn’t really made any shocking revelations really. He just calls everything malware and most of it ends up being malware.
Android could take the opposite approach. I.e. someone can write an app that generates CP, so those who want it can have it without any actual children involved.
The key here is scale. If the only trigger for action is having (say) a few hundred matching images, or a dozen from the same known set of offending pictures, then I can see how apples “one in a trillion” claim would work.

Also, Apple could ignore images from the device camera - since those will never match.

This is also in stark contrast to the task faced by photo copyright hunters. They don’t have the luxury of only focusing on those who handle tens of thousands of copyrighted photos. They need to find individual violations because that’s what they are paid to do.
I’m saying it because apple is scanning iCloud photos here. Unless I am mistaken, local only photos are not scanned.

Here is one of the most enlightening explanations for these kinds of spirals I have seen by 3blue1brown: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EK32jo7i5LQ

Note that the setup is slightly different,since in that video they plot numbers along their polar coordinates. The results are very similar, since both create spirals with predictable angular offsets.

> a non-insignificant amount of people in tech take this seriously

We're all here to make ourselves feel good saying we Took A Stand.

In reality, four weeks from now, do you think anybody will still be talking about it?

I made this same mistake. I was pretty convinced that people were taking Copilot seriously, and that there was possibly going to be ramifications for Microsoft. I wasn't particularly looking forward to it, but I rated it as plausible.

One stonewall and a few weeks later, here we are. Hardly a word anymore about it.

I think if there's going to be any real, long-term change, we have to find a way to combat the real threat: life goes on.

(Made me smile to phrase it like that, actually. That wasn't the combat I had in mind...)

It's true, though. Ask anyone in a month whether they take this seriously. They'll say yes. And what's it worth?

It's all we can do, of course. But that's just another way of saying we're powerless.

Like it or not, we aren't in control. And unless we can figure a way to get some measure of control, then what are we doing here, really?

Your three bullet points are wonderful, and I agree entirely with them. And it won't change a damn thing.

I'm not sure what to do about it.
This is not really much of a conversation if you don't care what other people have to say, is it?

I don't really understand this almost visceral hate towards Apple. They do some things I like, and some things I don't like. This kind of stuff is not going to change anyone's mind, much less help them understand your position.
Couldn’t they always avoid ever flagging pictures taken on the device itself (camera, rather than download) since if those match, it’s always a false positive?
> This is the sort of reasoning that got us into all this crap in the first place

I don’t consider us in “crap”. I welcome Apple’s decision.
>>>But one car per household would make a significant difference. It's not just carbon emissions. It's also the energy required to manufacture and ship the second car. You can still drive anywhere, anytime but one car forces you to coordinate and make choices.

FYI Illiberal values aka non-liberal values (clarifying because the I is hard to read) use the word liberal in the traditional sense.

Liberal values are liberty/freedom, consent of the governed, and equality before the law. All other liberal values build off of these three as a base. This implies that Non-liberal (or illiberal) values are the opposition of liberal values through censorship, gun control, etc like you mentioned.

Liberals in the modern US political sense refers to Neo-liberals. Neo-liberal and liberal are two very different things which is why the term liberal value doesn't necessarily correspond to neo-liberal beliefs.

Additionally, "the left" by and large does not support neo-liberalism. "The left" is violently against the aforementioned censorship, gun control, etc. Reading any socialist or communist literature will make this abundantly clear.

Examples:

- George Orwell on the Right to bear Arms: "The totalitarian states can do great things, but there is one thing they cannot do, they cannot give the factory worker a rifle and tell him to take it home and keep it in his bedroom. That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see it stays there."

- George Orwell on Freedom of Speech: "Threats to freedom of speech, writing and action, though often trivial in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and, unless checked, lead to a general disrespect for the rights of the citizen."

- Karl Marx on the Right to bear Arms: "Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary"

- Karl Marx on Freedom of Speech: "The absence of freedom of the press makes all other freedoms illusory. One form of freedom governs another just as one limb of the body does another. Whenever a particular freedom is put in question, freedom in general is put in question"

- Karl Marx on Freedom of Speech: "Censorship has outlived its time; where it still exists, it will be regarded as a hateful constraint which prohibits what is openly said from being written"

- Karl Marx on Freedom of Speech: "You cannot enjoy the advantages of a free press without putting up with its inconveniences. You cannot pluck the rose without its thorns!"

If you want I can dig up more quotes but those are the ones that were easy to fetch and any more risks turning this into even more of a wall of text.

My point being, your issues with "the left" are misdirected and are better focused towards Neo-liberalism and/or Neo-conservatism. "The left" does and has always been one of the primary guardians of liberal ideology. Hell "the left" is where a significant portion of the liberal ideology that the United States is founded on originated from.

NCMEC's database already contains non-CSAM. What you suggest is not theoretical, it's reality today.

I really think people are missing this point. NCMEC's database is not an infallible, audited and trustworthy source of despicable imagery. It's a mess contributed to by thousands of companies, individuals and police.

It's also so intertwined with the FBI that I don't think it's truly correct to call NCMEC independent, given FBI employees work at NCMEC, including on the database.

The FBI's involvement is particularly notable here, given their past usage of mass surveillance.

This is a truly terrifying precedent.

Thinking of Org as "living in an editor" is the mental mistake that leads to that confusion.

Org is a full blown task manager and note taking application, written for the Emacs platform.

Emacs is a platform much like the JVM. Someone happened to write Minecraft for the JVM, and someone happened to write Org for the Emacs platform.

People have written editors for Emacs (evil-mode is one I like) just as people have written search engines for the JVM (I use ElasticSearch at work.) But you shouldn't say org "lives in an editor" any more than you would say "Minecraft lives in a search engine". They're just two different applications built on the same platform.

Granted, the Org application reuses much more code and integrates better with the editors available for Emacs, making the comparison a bit odd, but I'm sure there are examples like that for the JVM too.
Moving good sense (good sense, not "good" conclusions - abilities, not partytaking) to the median is the massive endavour.

What is to be preserved as core is to have the alternatives. Note: in some areas they are already fading...

(I have this flash of Mr. Pink first trying a "We are professionals, right?", than shielding himself behind concrete.)
Every time i tried Emacs, i found that I would be more productive using something else. Still can't find a use for it..

I do use vim tho, as it comes with default installation and has useful regex search, nice to quick edit files

I'd hazard a guess that most people will opt to urinate as far away from sources of high voltage electricity as they can. In the UK we periodically get news stories about people being electrocuted by urinating on railways, and many will have been traumatised by watching the terrifying "Play Safe" Public Information Films as children.
Yes, you can replace those plugins with Arengu and make it reusable across different sites or technologies. Happy to chat when you want to give it a try!

Strip searching everyone hourly will stop most contraband, including child pornography. And, according to you, it should be fairly considered.

(And as people do have naked photos of themselves on their phones often[1], make no mistake, the strip search analogy is NOT an exaggeration)

Maybe; I'd be concerned about someone cutting the cables for scrap copper here. I don't know if richer Vancouver suburbs would have to worry about such a thing.
> So I did the same recently, but in a PHEV, and I honestly think it's the best of both worlds. In my daily usage, I use zero fuel.

Yeah in theory PHEV provide the ideal flexibility of EV for commute and ICE for long-range driving, however apparently lots of people with PHEV never charge them, mostly resulting in less efficient ICEs / HEV (because the plug-in-ability means a larger battery and more complexity, so a PHEV is heavier and more complex than an equivalent HEV).
There should be manslaughter charges here.

Actually this is exactly about expenses you are not consciously "registering", but they are real, and they add up. A daily coffee is not "registering" as well, but it's massive amount of money if you consider how much you spent in a year.
