Personally, I do what I can and then just accept that I can't control the rest. I try to reduce, I try to re-use, I switched to vegetarian. I own a new house and I'm going to try to get solar, I have an electric lawn mower and I'm planning on my next car to be electric. I try to vote for people that I think will do the best job.

I'm sure there is a lot more that I _could_ be doing, or attempting to be doing. But I am only a drop in the bucket. I just do the best I can.

Your argument proves my point. The customers that are currently choosing larger, heavier ICE vehicles will choose the same form factor of EV when given the option, and that F150 which currently weighs the same as a Tesla Model 3 will add on however many hundreds of pounds a battery pack weighs. Same goes for the Camry, it weighs the same as a LEAF (a much smaller car) now, but when you add the battery pack in the bottom, now it weighs the same as a Model S.

Mozilla: *Privacy Not Included
I gave bubble a serious look and quickly discovered its performance was abysmal. I suppose it is OK if you want to prototype or create an MVP, but if you think you are going to create something that can scale you are sorely mistaken. Considering this, I found it to not be worth the learning curve since the time I would spend would be a sunk cost if the app were to actually take off because it would need to be completely rewritten in actual code.
This system will only search for known images. If you make new images of child pornography, you're fine (or at least, you won't be flagged by this system). So this initiative does nothing to prevent child abuse.

In the elder days of Art,
Builders wrought with greatest care
Each minute and unseen part;
For the Gods see everywhere.

(from Longfellow, The Builders, 1850)

I’m not sure to which extent I agree with this piece’s medieval outlook of seeking and expecting perfection in the past, not in the future, but it doesn’t detract from the quality of this piece of writing. (Same for Tolkien, for example.) (And the poem actually talks about improving on the past, not venerating it; citing this part in isolation is a bit misleading.) (Now that I’m comparing these two quotes, the difference between “because the gods will see” and “because you’ll know it’s there” is... probably not worth overanalyzing, but at the same time intensely amusing.)

Let it spur you to action. I’ve started to reduce beef consumption, eat more vegetarian, replaced fossil fueled cars with electric, replaced flights with my family to see extended family with road trips in an electric car (at high occupancy, this is an extremely efficient mode of transport). Next steps are adding some solar power and transitioning my house’s gas heater to electric heat pump. Started planting trees and offsetting the rest of my carbon with planting trees. (I already live in a dense housing area, which is helpful.)

Of course, as one person, this does little. But I’ve convinced about 5 other people to go from gasoline to electric for their cars. And taking solid personal steps to address climate change (without the highly ascetic lifestyle, which isn’t as attractive to many) helps give your calls for policy action more intellectual and moral authority. Taking action, beyond “flee for your lives!”, is effective in mustering the political and mental energy we’ll need to address climate change, both in the preventative sense and in the adaption sense.

Burning fossil fuels right now for our society is a choice. The biggest struggle is convincing everyone, from the public to activists to politicians and other leaders, that it really is a choice and that real, attractive alternatives exist.

It is actively important NOT to cast the solution as something that requires massive societal sacrifice but instead firm, decisive action and hard work. Ultimately, our action sets the stage for luxurious abundance for all, to a level not possible with fossil fuels, while also rewilding the Earth and making most of the Earth’s surface into beautiful National Parks and reserves.

We’ve delayed action at this point that climate change will cause damage, but it is absolutely in our hands to what extent we’ll prevent more and then heal that damage and set the stage for both human abundance and a thriving Gaia.

I can see this as being a real story.

I just finished watching this really very interesting interview with Elon as he walks around the spacex stuff
https://youtu.be/t705r8ICkRw

He got vocally and visibly annoyed with the beeping noises that the machines were making.
It was a useless cacophony of beeps and you could just see in his head he was thinking "How the hell do I make this better and quieter"
I had the absolute pleasure of studying both Theory of Computation and Ethics in the Age of Technology under Professor Rogaway during my time at UC Davis and no other professor in the department challenged me both in the technical and ethical ways that Rogaway did.

It’s as a direct result of his classes that I have carefully crafted my career in computer science to not do work that would be potentially harmful to others. I wish more software engineers had the opportunity or interest to study and consider the ethical dimensions of our jobs. We have the power and the obligation to prevent a lot of harm and abuse by taking cryptography and security seriously. I’m disappointed by the recent backsliding Apple has done since they were one of the few companies I could trust to make this a priority.
If I was interviewing the author for a role their complete disregard for infosec ethics would be a hard "no" from me - no matter how good they might be at interviewing.

This. They could hire any random chump to say they're right. If you're the expert, they hired you to tell them whether they're right.

The chance of you getting enough false positives to reach the flagging threshold is one in a trillion. And then the manual review would catch the error easily. The FBI won’t be called on you.
As I see it, it is more nuanced. When engineer designs a bridge she does a very similar work to a programmer. Programing it is like designing a very complex bridge without constructing it really, because when you finished your design it had been built already.

So it is not exactly like you've said:

> You can't design it first and then go and build it.

You can design, but you cannot build.

A process of building by a design can be paralleled with deploying software -- suddenly there is a hairy real world, not all the hair was considered at the design phase, and either we hack around existing software (i.e. design plans), or call a programmer to redesign.
Only technically.

But still, Java does not have unsigned integer types for 32 and 64 wide integers, just a way to treat them as such if you need it so much that you want to go out of your way. For example when you need to parse a binary with unsigned integers.

There is no way to declare unsigned 32 or 64 bit integer.

I've seen this recommendation very often lately. As I am shopping for a new phone: Why is it that hardware directly from Google is recommended for putting another OS onto it (I've seen recommendations for LineageOS as well). What makes it better than any stock phone supported by LineageOS?

Best of luck in your endeavor. I don’t personally have the guts to take on a space where it seems to me like Netflix could decide to squash you at any moment by outbidding for the catalog of work by other creators.

I wonder to what extent that was also true with BET, which is an obviously extremely successful outcome. (Maybe I’m just chicken.)

Again, best of luck; this seems like a really smart idea and has a team that’s got very relevant experience on at least the tech side of the house.
Alternate take and apparently unpopular opinion: the US government can simply force Apple to give them a back door to access iCloud photos directly.

What Apple has done here is both way more complicated and way more visible than necessary, while being less useful to a government. The slippery slope and capability to exploit is cloud storage.
They won’t. This is the big problem.

How to write one page business plan
An example I know of that resembles the bricklayer problem is synthesis of human singing vocals into MIDI sequence data. There is now a history of products around that check off the boxes - one (Vochlea Dubler) debuted just last year - and every time, it demos well but the potential audience ends up rejecting it, because it does not really add what they thought it would add to their workflow. Even if the results themselves come out usable(already a wicked problem since the DSP has to deal with a multitude of recording scenarios while achieving low latency), users discover that they need to be talented at "singing like an instrument" if they want to play instruments by singing, which is a technical barrier, not an assistance to spontaneous creation. Practically speaking, they're better served creatively by button input tools that work top-down(e.g. pick a scale, then the keyboard only plays notes within that scale) since those define down the medium and therefore perform a creatively assistive function with a legible design paradigm(different scale = different sound).
Yeah, just writing some code that talks to the Kubernetes API really ought to be more common.

It's not a great API, but it certainly beats writing bash scripts that shell out to kubectl and yq.

In the same vein, I wish people knew that YAML isn't even really a native Kubernetes thing, it's just one of the many ways you can serialize k8s objects...

You can put checks and balances in place. Firefighters have vehicles with ladders, but they don't drive up to houses and break-and-enter. If it can be made obvious when they're using it, and there's independent oversight, I think the trade-off is definitely worth it.
Beef is not to blame for this, though. Beef just happens to be the most economical right now. If it wasn't beef, it would be something else. Possibly soybeans since they are the world's largest exporter of them.
There is quite a bit of case law precedent over the past fifty years, notably US vs. Miller, that upholds the “Third Party Doctrine”: if you give your records to a third party, then the government doesn’t need a warrant to get those records. Personally I think that ruling is awful and needs to be overturned, but that’s not likely to happen anytime soon.
If it's being cut down for beef it _might_ be cut for something else. You can only control what you can control. Maybe ecotourism would be more lucrative if beef were off the market.
"Apple CEO Tim Cook Slams Indiana’s ‘Religious Freedom’ Law"

The hypocrisy levels are vomit inducing...
This feels like racism.
As a relatively new first time home buyer, I've found lawn care to be awful. Maintaining one actively harms the local ecosystem by removing native plants and replacing it with a monoculture, non-flowering, invasive, water intensive grass that isn't even allowed to grow to full height (in many cases).

I've started a plan to overtime dig up the yard and replace it with flower beds/gardens with native plants. The first bed I did this spring, and the native bushes I planted are now flowering. I've never seen a small garden attract so many pollinators: honey bees, bumble bees, pollinating flies, solitary wasps. It was really rewarding seeing all the different insects/species being supported by them.

Plus the bushes look great and require almost no maintenance for their care once planted (some weeding throughout the summer, and mulching every couple years probably).
I'm not. If anything, these days R is evolving much faster than Python in this field.
How is this not racist?
This is impressive for sure. It really makes me think how hackathons must be evolving with this type of tech available (last hackathon I participated in was ~8 years ago).

That said, and I feel a bit old for saying this, but I still prefer to write the code myself.

In every instance (so far) I’ve found I can produce the exact outcomes required faster by writing code (Rails is still crazy fast to scaffold solutions and install libraries) than trying to force a no-code/low-code platform to produce an equivalent outcome in a similar time frame.

Anyone else feel this way?
Nothing quite like apple. The step down is short enough not to stumble though :)
>Blackhat is not a good hobby, especially not with no opsec.

Putting your ident in the clear (or at least trivially bound to a real ID) is not better than having shitty security defaults.
The problem with this is that they can now scan images on phones regardless of upload, and it will render any future promisses of e2e iCloud deceiving.

I don't see a reason to do this, other than to either scan all images, or claim that iCloud is e2e in the future.

And of course they went with the protection of children argument, which is bullshit. Apple gets paid by its users and should have no other interests than to get paid as much money as possible, regardless of who pays them.
The concept of racist doesn't work that way, you can't just reverse the positions to make a statement.
>And imagine the outrage if someone had made “X for white people”. There’d be riots in streets.

The idea is that "X" is de facto "X for white people" in America. I don't necessarily agree with it, but that's the argument.
> This means zero privacy. This means 'no privacy' feeling. Everyone is more 'careful' when people around. And this has prolonged effect on society's freedom, democracy and rights of individual because independent thinking happens when true privacy is there.

100% agree, this is called a "chilling effect", shutting down discussion and giving more power to the status quo.
Sure, why not. I don't think it would be that difficult, and can be emulated with single-precision just as well as fp16 for the systems that don't support it in hardware.
It's more understandable when you think about the Irish Troubles. The Black-White issue is really an interethnic conflict.
Powerful image but bad analogy. The climate does not have a well defined "death" state, unless you water down the definition of "death" so much that it becomes meaningless, i.e. by defining death as change. If you insist on doing this and then get mired in fatalism... realize that the fatalism was rooted in this choice, and maybe reconsider it.

Since we don't have the collective willpower to stop pushing the climate, it's definitely going to change, so we're just going to have to adapt. The bad news is that it will involve a staggering amount of destruction and violence as everybody tries to avoid bagholding. The good news is that humans are really, really good at adapting. Staggeringly good.

If you look at the history of doomsday predictions -- I'd suggest the Malthusians, since they were rooted in science and rationality but still managed to be very wrong on a large number of issues -- you'll note that their biggest mistake is underestimating adaptability. It's reeeealllllly easy to extrapolate some lines and say "this can't go on, it's going to break, the world will end" and be correct on the first 2 points but wrong on the 3rd. Don't underestimate human adaptability. It's not an optimistic long shot to think that we will adapt. Adaptation is who we are, it's what we do, and we are good at it.
Their diet was also largely meat based and thus allowed no easy transfer to agriculture and society complexification.
I agree with that last sentence, but IMO even in a well-served market things like brand loyalty, familiarity, and social momentum can often be major deterrents to switching just for the sake of quality and often times unless the major players in a market are really messing up users will not see much of a reason to switch.

You have a point but instead of blaming *edited from shaming* the OP, I would first worry about why Stripe cannot be more clear on what the issue could be. If the business was legitimately operating for 4 years, Stripe should do a bit more than just closing the account. Stories like this makes you wonder if aggregators like Stripe become too risky and you instead could be better off getting a merchant account of your own directly from a bank.
I can't help but feel like everyone commenting here read the headline, brushed straight past the lengthy explanation and went directly to outrage in the comment box.

This is a streaming service set up to elevate content by black creators, to make up for the fact that the mainstream media under-represents those people. I'm struggling to see the outrage on a cultural level and on a startup level I can absolutely imagine there is a market for this.

I'm going to guess that "Netflix for black people" is not going to be the tagline the business will advertise itself on, it was chosen by an early-stage startup to catch your eye and make you think about the ways in which Netflix does not serve black people.
I suppose I should clarify my point that I was referring to those dangerous items in the mail in the sense of their capacity to directly cause physical harm to those handling or receiving them, rather than in the more general sense of the societal effects of their proliferation, which is something else altogether (to your point).

To be clear, I'm not disagreeing with you in regards to the harm caused in the specific case of CSAM, but I can't help but see this as a slippery slope into having the ability in the future to label and act on other kinds of information detected as objectionable (and by whom one must also ask), which is itself incredibly harmful to privacy and to a functioning free society.
> 1. Command key requirement keeps you from accidentally deleting files

You have the trash can for that.

> 2. I actually really like Enter to rename now that I’m used to it. Renaming is a common operation in many instances.

Agreed, so give it to a key like F2. The most common operation on a file is to open it. Enter should do that.

> 6. I’m not sure I’ve seen this behavior.

If you have a file with a long name "a_file_with_a_really_very_long_name.txt" will show up as an icon with "a_file_with_a...long_name.txt". Even if you select it, the name will not show. This is very annoying when I have similarly named files with slight differences.

> I’d agree that “Finder is just horrible to use for someone who expects Linux- or Windows-like behaviors.” Once you’ve learned it, though, it’s mostly fine and, in my opinion, a bit better overall than Windows Explorer.

I think you are right in part. Most of my pain is due to unfamiliarity. However there are a few things that I feel are genuinely horrible, and should be fixed. I think File Manager in Windows is a much better designed app with a very thoughtful attention to features and detail. You can get used to anything, but you shouldn't have to.
