I own a home in the Chicago region right now (not the city itself). It'll probably fare better than Texas but if the Earth warms up 2-3 degrees Celsius it's probably not going to be a good idea to stay here either. Much more than that and it probably doesn't matter where I go.

I would like to sell it and move further north in the next 5-7 years myself, hopefully, probably either Wisconsin or Michigan, near the Great Lakes. The decision isn't 100% up to me, though, as I'm married. We have been talking about it, though.
This is, in its way, adorable.

Apple claims that metric for a false positive account flagging, not photo matching.

> The threshold is set to provide an extremely high level of accuracy and ensures less than a one in one trillion chance per year of incorrectly flagging a given account.

> As you walk from one themed area to another, the "transition areas" play the treble from the area you are leaving, and the bass for the area you are entering.

That gives new meaning to the term "crossover".
Everyone understands that Apple can do anything with unencrypted content, but now Apple can also identify encrypted content because they make the phone hash it before it's encrypted. Apple is essentially lying when they say this can only be used to identify child abuse material because it can clearly be used to identify whatever Apple tells it to identify. The system doesn't care if it's used to target whistleblowers or child abusers. Apple doesn't even need to know what content they are made to target. The government could just give them a hash and demand to know who has a file corresponding to it, with zero risk that an Apple employee will leak anything the government want to suppress.

There is no reason Apple can't give you E2E encryption without any backdoors or spying features. They should act on abuse when it's reported to them by someone who can give them the key, but otherwise not concern themselves with the content that's stored.
Child abuse, or any abuse should be stamped out vigorously.

But this is the job of the police, using standard techniques to track down first, the people making and distributing this content, and then consumers of it.

It is not Apple's job to put a policeman in everyone's phone.

““ As far as I can see: 1. This is a serious attempt to build a privacy preserving solution to child pornography.”
I don’t argue that.””

“ Apple’s solution is the best on offer. ”

“ I think this is exactly what Apple wants to he the result of their their iMessage scanning. They are not in this to make arrests. They just want parents to feel safe letting children use their products. Driving predators to use different tools is fine with them.”

“2. The complaints are all slippery slope arguments that governments will force Apple to abuse the mechanism. These are clearly real concerns and even Tim Cook admits that if you build a back door, bad people will use it.”

“So: where are the proposals for a better solution?”

Let the viewer decide. Are you going to argue that I have misrepresented your words? Feel free to argue with yourself.
Good point, thank you! For some reason it didn't occur to me that such a polynomial would generate values like 143 = 11 * 13.
What a strange argument. You might as well say penicillin doesn't have a "strong value proposition" because it doesn't have value until you're sick.
SSN is a terrible key (and given privacy and security concerns should probably be encrypted or otherwise peotected in any case, not showing up in logs, developers notes while troubleshooting, etc).

Product serial number might be a better example. Or file hash.

I think the northern migration will start at a trickle, slowly start increasing but still slow enough people don't really notice, and then suddenly and without much warning become a flood.

Just need to make sure you sneak in before that flood, but if you try to time it just right you'll probably wait too long and be in the same situation as everyone else.

As others have said, people have a lot of photos. It wouldn't be too hard to hide them a bit from obvious view.
As well, I rarely look at my gallery unless I need to. I just add a few photos occasionally. So maybe once every two weeks I look at my gallery, plenty of time to initiate that.
Your statement:

> It may help your understanding a whole lot to realize that, in fact, the REAL problem REALLY IS the buildup of burnable stuff because of past wildfire policy.

My direct response:

> Perhaps you missed the part where it's infeasible to do controlled burns on the scale that people around here are armchairing around because there are many of human structures within these wildlands. That is the reason why these fires are suppressed, because if they aren't they will kill humans or destroy structures.

I even gave you a helpful analogy:

> Put another way, if you want to pull your car out of your drive way, but you can't because there is a child standing behind you. The problem is not that you didn't pull you car out, it's the child standing behind you.

If you can't see how this isn't responsive to your comment, then we really don't have anything else to dicuss.

Also,

> With proper preparation and regulations, controlled burns can be safely done in lightly populated areas.

You actually aren't a genius with an idea that the fire fighting agencies of California couldn't think of. California does many controlled burns but there is a limit to their effectiveness, safety and scale, and they absolutely will not solve the wildfire crisis in California. It's a bit odd that use Australia as an example (of effectively managing wildfires I presume, your example was not really fleshed out), in that they have had some of the worse wildfires in their country's history in the last few years, and again, California does do prescribed burns as well when/where in it safe.
What changed is we are not the masters of our technology anymore. If I tell my computer to do something, it should do it without question. It doesn't matter if it's a crime. The computer is supposed to be my tool and obey my commands.

Now what's going to happen instead is the computer will report me to its real masters: corporations, governments. How is this acceptable in any way?
I find this varies greatly depending on location. Living in California, I was convinced of the same. Living in Texas now, I’m more optimistic.

Zig libraries can be exported with the C ABI[0], so pretty much anything can interface with it. You can write very fast code with it. It is also small and fits in your head. The only thing missing is a variety of implementations, however there is a clear path to bootstrapping the compiler from source with a semi-recent C++ compiler[1] and from there, there's already a growing number of supported targets[2]. There is also a major focus on making sure cross-compilation is well supported out of the box, including C code that Zig can also compile[3].

It's perfectly fair to compare Zig to C in this case, as the project originated as a dialect of C before the author decided to do a complete clean break[4]. The primary frame of reference when designing the language was C and addressing its shortcomings, both language and tooling.

About a year ago I clicked through to a Disneyland-related travel article from a similar site suggested by Google News. Since then Google News likes to suggest similar Disney theme park content and it's become abundantly clear that Disney advertising money supports a steady stream of these types of submarine articles.

FWIW, I like Disney theme parks and don't need to be convinced or reminded to visit. And the articles are benign. Plus, it's cool that so many smaller outfits and writers can get a share of Disney's PR budget. It is annoying how many of them there are, but that's mostly Google News' fault for spamming my feed with them.

We can't know for sure if Disney paid anything for this particular article. But there's a strong chance. Compare this article from 9 months ago: https://www.greenmatters.com/p/vegan-options-disney-parks
The hash matching part of this is a red herring. The real issue is that if a hash matches, there's now a mechanism to upload the image in question from your phone, unencrypted, without your consent. What assurance is there that the hidden upload mechanism can't be used to upload other files on demand? If a mechanism is built into the OS that can exfiltrate files on demand, what's to say there even has to be a hash match? Or that iCloud has to be active? What's to stop any government from going to Apple and saying "we know you have this ability, give us all this user's files." Nothing.

The exfiltration mechanism is the problem. If this were saying a hash match could be used to obtain a search warrant, that would be bad, but it would be far less egregious a breach of security and privacy than Apple adding a backdoor to just grab anything it likes.
Say that you're an official with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). You have huge stacks of brochures of anti-CCP materials. You've got them scanned and hashed. Next you call Apple and say, "Please alert us if similar imageries appears in your customers' devices. My assistants will send you weekly updates of the required hashes." Apple would say, "Sure, we're just following your law..."

Hence when a Chinese photographs such brochure "in the wild" using an iPhone, someone from "the government" will knock the next day and "strongly enquire" about yesterday's photo. Likewise when a Chinese minor receives an iMessage containing such brochure.

This is just _one_ example case of "extension" of the CSAM database as seen fit by some regulatory body.

Does debloating using this method actually eliminate the phone-home/telemetry functionality? Or is there still some left from the packages that can't be disabled (eg. telemetry code is in frameworks-base)? Personally I don't trust xiaomi enough to settle for a bunch of pm disable commands. It has to be a clean install (eg. lineageos).

Not necessarily. Granted, you obviously need to make a network call at some point but you can host the entire experiment configuration in a file that is served through a CDN and the mobile client only needs to download it once (and it can be cached however appropriate for your use-case).
The client SDK can then use the file to derive the experiment configuration by passing the required parameters to determine experiment allocation into the SDK which can then compute without further network calls.
The real translation is that nobody gives a fuck about the children but they use this as an excuse to peddle their bs backdoors.

> There's room in the FOSS space for both GrapheneOS and CalyxOS.

I doubt strcat disagrees with that. He's responding to specific statements comparing GrapheneOS and CalyxOS. I don't think we would have seen those comments if nobody had mentioned GrapheneOS.
"The third-party doctrine is a United States legal doctrine that holds that people who voluntarily give information to third parties—such as banks, phone companies, internet service providers, and e-mail servers—have "no reasonable expectation of privacy." A lack of privacy protection allows the United States government to obtain information from third parties without a legal warrant and without otherwise complying with the Fourth Amendment prohibition against search and seizure without probable cause and a judicial search warrant." --wiki

Okay, but the users of said 3rd party are doing it under the assumption that it is encrypted on the 3rd party's system in a way that they cannot gain access to it. The unencrypted data is not what the user is giving to iCloud. So technically, the data this scan is providing to the authorities is not the same data that the user is giving to the 3rd parties.

Definitely some wiggle room on both sides for some well versed lawyers to chew up some billing hours.
> pretty mild summers in TX for the past 5 or so years. If that's due to climate change then great, i'll just live here.

There have been two weather related massive grid failures in Texas this year so far. I would not want to live there as climate change intensifies. The winters are going to suck.
It's not only about the climate but also the rate of change of climate. When the climate changes very quickly, ecosystems cannot adapt and they die.

Remember that humans are actually very adaptable, our range of habitats extends from the arctic to the tropics, desert to rainforest. Most life is not so tolerant.
I usually skim through it for the first time. Then I implement a todo app from blogs/documentation, or Clone something from GitHub. I understand the flow of data, once you have the mental map of the data flow, everything becomes easy, atleast in my case. Once I understand the data flow, I wing it. Once that's done, I'll dig through all the best practices of the technology, merits and demerits. I guess I do this for web technologies, maybe this can be ported to some other use case.

While learning a new language, I get my hands dirty, all you need is the logic, you can do a quick Google search oh how loops are implemented, how JSON parsing is done, etc..
After sometime you'll be familiar with it.

This is how I usually learn on the fly.

> I think it's only a matter of time before this sort of thing finds it's way to Android phones, but I think there's a very clear line between scanning material that I'm uploading to a company vs. scanning material that is on a device that I ostensibly own.

The tools already exist and the legal framework is essentially in place - every time you go through border security you essentially are told "we can search everything on your person (including your device) and there is nothing you can do about it".

It's not such a stretch that some 'national security' enforcement is put in place. Imagine having the same applied to your work place or public transport. Essentially the same that is happening with vaccine passports, where the number of places you can go is slowly eroded to the point that you can't viably go to any public place any more.

New Zealand for example for many years have had the ability to perform a 'digital strip search' where they can force you to unlock your device [0]. If you live within the Five Eyes you can almost guarantee this is already in effect for you or will be soon.

On the plus side, this has led to some 'hilarious' stories where the TSA border security were physically searching a person for Bitcoin [1].

Fun times to live in.

Different people react differently to long car trips. I can drive the 1,800 miles to my wife's family in one shot, especially given time to nap while charging and the driver automation taking up the slack for being tired. I can then have a normal nights sleep and be fine.

My wife, on the other hand, being a passenger for such a trip, she arrives and then is wasted for 2 days.

But if you really want to be miserable on a trip... Take a train. My wife and son did that same trip by train a few years ago and: was delayed a solid day by flooding, lost power, had to suffer with malfunctioning toilets for part of the trip, and it cost more than flying or driving (counting hotels).

I think the main difference is that Turkey does not require you to relinquish your Turkish citizenship if you get another, while India does. In a way TRs system is entirely to help out with an issue a foreign country creates, while India’s is primarily an attempt to recover from an own goal — assuming you believe people having multiple citizenships is a good thing.

Yes, but then there's a way to upload it in plaintext. That's the backdoor. That can, and will, eventually be used to exfiltrate any file, anytime, whether it would be going to the cloud or not.
You have overlooked that the system for protecting minors from sexual messaging /is/ the parental controls you wish it was, and is /not/ the serious privacy invasion you think it is. It is on-device only, it only alerts the parents, in the condition that the parents enable it and the child continues past a warning informing them that their parent will find out if they continue.

> "The parent can be the admin of the child's devices, and have access to their otherwise encrypted messages."

Apple have done even better - the parent doesn't get access to all their messages (at least not as part of this system).

This is not the same system as the photo-scanning and authority-alerting one.

Then don't do that. You only need tons of parking and mandatory setbacks if you've designed the area for lots of cars going too fast. If you just don't, then suddenly a lot more ends up being in walking distance, and you don't need as much parking because more people are walking or biking.
