Already factored into the $200/yr maintenance. Oil changes at dealerships nowadays are essentially loss leaders for them; $75 to $80 for full synthetic change, oil filter replacement and windshield wiper fluid top off, and most include shuttle service nowadays to and from the dealership itself.

Only other items that are ICE specific I can think of off the top of my head is engine air filter and fluid changes for the transmission and transfer case. Most of the other maintenance is the same AFAIK.

Like I said though, the insurance difference for me kills whatever savings there are from lack of oil changes by a wide margin, even before factoring in higher upfront.
Public sector jobs on average pay over 10% less than comparable private sector jobs, and even unions don't fully eliminate that pay gap. [0] You're cherry picking specific jobs & unions to paint a false narrative: Police & teachers' unions don't tell the whole story.

Barriers to competition is a separate topic and worthy of discussion, but on the issue of overall pay rates relative to private sector workers you are simply wrong.

The local voice assistant model is on a fraction of Android devices.

E2EE for Messages literally rolled out last month, relies on spotty RCS support and doesn't work with group messages.

Apple Location tracking designed so that even when shared between your devices via Apple's servers it's not visible to Apple.

I have literally never seen Google claim Google Photos is using on device classification, I'd love a source for that since nothing about how it works implies that. Maybe you mean it does some very specific type of classification as a pre-processing step?

> But since you have to trust them on this, all of it is not really much better than just having a reasonable "privacy policy" which we all know is meaningless.

You're free to be wrong? You need to trust someone on a claim vs someone not making the claim at all... those are not the same thing.

Apple hasn't shown a reason to lie, and here's no equivalent financial incentive to Google unless you think Apple is pulling the equivalent of a fake moon landing and somehow running a 147 billion dollar data selling operation no one knows about...
One thing that isn't working for me is finding all the places in a project where a symbol is used.
I feel similarly. However I could probably drop Netflix, Slack (at a push), Google pay (painful) if I could find a replacement for Google photos, it's been too valuable in recording my life memories. The Apple CSAM story gave me a kick to think I don't want to be sending photos in the plain to Google either.

Alternatives seem to be Owncloud and Nextcloud, which have hosted options. I don't really want to self host but nice to have the option. Does anyone have experience with their android apps for photo storage as compared to Google photos? In particular autobackup and image scaling/compression would be nice.

I use ProtonMail and have started fiddling with their new calendar offering, I was half hoping they might have some encrypted storage service in the offing...

>What has changed is the inclusion of spyware technology on the device that can be weaponised to basically report on anything.

- You are running a closed source proprietary OS that you cannot verify is not already doing anything.

- This could theoretically already be weaponized (with the existing server-side implementation) by getting someone to download a file to a folder that iCloud automatically syncs from.

>iCloud is opt-out.

Yes, and that's how you opt out of this scanning. It's the same opt-out as before.

>Under the guise of something no-one can genuinely be against (think of the children!) they have now included a pretty generic snitch into your phone and made everyone accept it.

I dunno what to tell you. I think the system as designed is actually pretty smart[1] and more transparent than before.

If you used iCloud before, and you're putting photos up that'd be caught in a hash comparison, you've already got a snitch. Same with any other cloud storage, short of hosting your own.

[1] I reserve the right for actual bona-fide cryptographers to dissect it and set the record straight, mind you.

> The author is convinced that the couple’s life sucks.

Objectively, their life does kinda suck. The woman is living in a slum and cleaning houses for a living, earning very little for a lot of exhausting labor. The man is doing little better. They have to be creative in finding places to just hang out with each other, which is really the foundation for any relationship.

This isn't a judgement call on their relative economic status; life is just more difficult for them. I didn't feel the author was looking down on them as much as pointing out the obscene difference in ease of living between the upper and lower classes.
This is absolutely not true. Stallman was in the group of people Cced on the email that day to get their support for using the newly-invented term "open source". He took longer than most to respond, and when he did, he responded negatively (and fairly aggressively, as I recall). But many long-time supporters of the FSF in that email discussion were totally in favor of the proposal, and it came as a surprise to me that Stallman wasn't.
> Open source A/B testing is a graveyard of abandoned projects

Quite true, sadly. FWIW, we keep maintaining Alephbet, even though honestly I have no clue who's actively using it besides us :) the codebase is simple enough that it doesn't require a lot of work luckily.

Re stats: I did implement a Bayesian dashboard of sorts with Alephbet, but I'm not sure it prevents the peeking problem on its own. It requires some discipline when planning the tests to decide ahead when to look at results. Disclaimer: my stats chops are virtually non-existent, but that's what I learned over the years. Georgi's platform really helps structure this process of planning and when to stop the experiment (either when successful or when it's failed).

Another small (but in my experience important) thing that sets Alephbet apart from other A/B testing platforms: ad blockers. Mixpanel, GA, Amplitude etc frequently and trivially get blocked by ad blockers on the client. For client-side A/B tests this can reduce the data quality (even though typically A/B tests are not privacy invasive). Alephbet's Lamed[0] backend allows you to create a custom AWS url that's far less likely to get blocked. The "data quality" with Alephbet is higher in my experience than the data we see, e.g. in Amplitude.

It also depends on the car, for example, driving 750km with my GTI in a day would really tire me, as it is very uncomfortable. On the other hand, my father’s A8 is very, very comfortable, and I could drive it for 12 hours a day and not feel that tired.

You could certainly do it. No point having multiple EBS volumes lying around - just create a snapshot of the volume with the git checkout / build cache after each new build is done.

When you want to build again, create the instance and then recreate the EBS volume from the snapshot and attach it to the new instance. Pull the latest set of changes from the git repo and build with the old cache!

Obviously there are cache purging considerations (e.g. starting from scratch once per week/month) you could optimise as well.

One can only speculate how much worse the PRC's system is. The professor's fears are quite rational (I needn't say I wholeheartedly condemn her actions, and hope she's fired).
There is now, as far as I can tell, a system that can flag any photo that matches a perceptual hash for manual review by Apple or by other parties as required by law. Have any screenshots of code or confidential operational documents? Or photos placing you at private events attended by political dissidents (as defined by authoritarian regimes)? You’re one no-code config change away from Apple being able to exfiltrate this content from your device and deliver it to a third party. Engineers at Apple might not even know this is happening to be canaries. It’s a dangerous backdoor waiting to happen.
WhatsApp attacks Apple’s child safety ‘surveillance’ despite government acclaim
Rape allegations against a dead man, accused on the basis of no evidence, by people who didn't know the alleged victim --- who has, herself, made no such allegations against the dead man in question. Moreover they are allegations that the alleged perpetrator's wife has given evidence against. Those are precisely the kinds of rape allegations we should all be downplaying.
I think it's irresponsible to avoid thinking about how bad actors might use a technology you've developed.

And is it really unfathomable that the US government could use this sort of thing for evil? I mean, wind back the clock to something like the Red Scare. If they had iPhones back then, they totally would have pressured Apple to add hashes for communist imagery, and use that to persecute people (or worse).

(Before anyone brings this up: I do categorically reject the notion of "that was in the past; that couldn't happen today". If you truly believe that, I have a bridge you might be interested in purchasing...)
I think you misunderstand the Center’s role in this. They review and categorize the images. They maintain the database and provide access to different organizations for the purpose of catching CP. Why wouldn’t they also generate the hashes?
It's convenient to believe that your enemy is so fragile that they're threatened by a twitterer with a dozen followers. I don't see how that does one any good outside a feeling of smug superiority. China is building a frightening amount soft power through trade deals and building goodwill. That's what people should be talking about, not China supposedly censoring angry opinions that can be found anywhere else on the internet.
Take a close look at the way this works. If there are enough hash matches, Apple apparently gets to look at all the pictures on the phone. The description says "threshold reached, all content visible and unlocked". "All", not "Matched".

Matches can be forced from the outside, by sending pictures to the phone. They don't even have to be from the known-bad image set. Using an adversarial system to try to create hash matches might allow generating innocuous pictures which trigger a phone dump.

Expect a toolset for doing that to be developed. Although it may take a while for word of it to leak out. This has applications for entrapment, swatting, political retribution, etc.
Especially in America's highly controversial political climate today. This story would be much easier to parse if he had merely criticized the CCP, rather than reposting the cartoon. We should remember this incident and see if the pattern will repeat in the future, or if this was a case of inappropriate behavior that was fairly disciplined.

We need to power them with “clean” energy and have a good recycling/reuse program for the battery.

Anyway also moving the pollution from the city to where energy is produced is a small (but not decisive) improvement.
Parcels, maybe. I’d bet it’s a tiny percentage though.

I doubt the entire world has enough X-ray machines to scan even a vanishingly small percentage of the envelopes the postal service delivers every day.
It'll be interesting to see what the used car market for EVs looks like once they age out where the battery packs start degrading. Not sure they'll have the same long-term value that quality ICEs do today.
> Once a hash matches, law enforcement would need a subpoena to access the raw image.

Not if Apple provides it to them without a subpoena.
> the result of which would be just that X hashes marched but not which X

That means you can't prove an incriminating file was not deleted even if you're the victim of a false positive. So they will suspect you and put you through the whole police investigation routine.

Yes, China should instead be a soft banana-republic like India and surrender its whole historiography and narrative, and thereby its own self-understanding, to the West.

Then, if someone speaks up for India or the Indian society, they can all be called "Hindutva" and then the West can ban them from the Indology conferences and the academics can all rejoice for having banned the Swastika-worshipping "original" Nazis.

(sarcasm, yes, but everything noted above has happened in Indology. apparently, according to these worthies, Hindus are the original Nazis too - no I'm not kidding. explains the insidious anti-Hindu sentiment in the West.)
The NCEMC was created by a child abuser[1] and his victim whom he groomed, and they asked Apple to send them pictures of suspected abuse.

> gold plate

At my current employer, managers love to use this term. We are asked not to gold plate.

And yet they’re the least qualified to decide what is gold plating.

Case in point, gold plating in my managers’ minds means: “code reviewing, refactoring, automating code quality (linting in pipeline etc), or writing any kind of test”. To the rest of us, this is far from gold plating, nice to have, or optional. Yet this is what gets cut every single time. And then we’re asked why we suck so much and “just fixing that one little button” takes a month and breaks five other things.
"defunded" has unfortunately become a catch-all but with actually has a few different interpretations:

At one end of the extreme it can mean that someone actually wants traditional police forces fully disbanded.

At the other end it can mean someone simply wants much more aggressive police reform with funding contingent on that reform.

Somewhere in the middle would be a person who wants some policing money diverted to specializing professional to respond to non-criminal calls, or to respond jointly with police to potentially dangerous calls that might be de-escalated with expert intervention.

People make a mistake when they use "defund" without specifying such details.

Appealing to the slippery slope is itself a fallacy.

"While this image may be insightful for understanding the character of the fallacy, it represents a misunderstanding of the nature of the causal relations between events. Every causal claim requires a separate argument. Hence, any "slipping" to be found is only in the clumsy thinking of the arguer, who has failed to provide sufficient evidence that one causally explained event can serve as an explanation for another event or for a series of events"

You need to argue things that are actually happening. Appealing to hypotheticals, especially when technically incorrect, serves no one.
