>That's neither here, nor there. It's another thing to peak selectively with a warrant of sorts, than to (a) peak automatically in everybody, (b) with a false-positive-prone technique, especially since the mere accusation on a false match can be disastrous for a person, even if they eventually are proven innocent...

I do not believe that iCloud CSAM server side matching ever required a warrant, and I'm not sure where you've gotten this idea. It quite literally is (a) peak automatically in everybody.

Regarding (b), with this way - thanks to them publishing details on it - there's more transparency than if it was done server side.

>especially since the mere accusation on a false match can be disastrous for a person

As noted elsewhere in this very thread, this can happen whether client or server side. It's not unique in any way, shape or form to what Apple is doing here.

If Apple is indeed using CNNs, then I don’t see why any of the black-box adversarial attacks used today in ML wouldn’t work. It seems way easier than attacking file hashes, since there are many images in the image space that are viable (e.g., sending a photo of random noise to troll with such an attack seems passable).

I don't think "allowing" is the concern here, because I highly doubt they get to generate the hashes themselves.

RE: """blight""" — https://newrepublic.com/article/119106/ferguson-missouris-co...

"You can’t really understand Ferguson unless you understand J.D. Shelley. He was a middle-class black man from north St. Louis who in 1945 bought a home in a neighborhood just a few minutes east of Ferguson, unaware of the restrictive covenant that barred its sale to 'people of the Negro or Asian Race'. Alas, this move inflamed Louis Kraemer, who lived ten blocks away and was well aware of the covenant. Kraemer was temporarily vindicated when the Missouri Supreme court backed his lawsuit to enforce the covenant, but the United States Supreme Court overturned the Missouri ruling and forbade the state from enforcing such private agreements. In the wake of the Shelley v. Kraemer decision, blacks began to move out of crowded north St. Louis City, where many had been packed into high-rise projects such as the infamous Pruitt-Igoe, to north St. Louis County."

In that most of the month you just walk around your village, go to your shop, your field, the grocers, the super/mini/medium-market, to neighbors and friends, etc, and don't need a car.

You might use it a few times a month if you need something special, to visit another village or the nearest city, and that's it.

So like 1/20 to 1/50 the car use of the average suburban dweller.

You don't plan to ever use 4G/5G again?
I just did a 2 day 2000 mile trip in my long range model 3. Total charging costs were around $100, which didn’t include two stops where the superchargers were free (network connectivity problems?). Required a total of 13 supercharging stops. Each stop was between 20min to 45min. I started off completely full, and charged overnight at a Tesla destination charger, (so, 14 stops?). Roughly half the cost of the article’s reported charging costs.

At two superchargers, I had to wait due to a crowd, which probably added a full hour to my trip. But, all the superchargers worked.

What’s not talked about are the bathroom facilities. You’d expect the superchargers to be located next to a fast food restaurant or gas station. Some place with extended hours and restrooms. Nope. Ended up peeing in bushes on the side of the road in the middle of the night. Tesla needs to fix that.

At one Supercharger in a hotel parking lot, the fellow chargers informed me that the hotel wasn’t friendly to supercharging restroom seekers. I tried crossing a busy freeway to get to a gas station on the other side, only to find they were open, but their restroom closed. Peed in a culvert.

Once I arrived at the Shamrock Texas supercharger past midnight, and the attached gas station (a Conaco used for inspiration in Pixar Cars - highly recommend checking it out) was closed. They probably have some camera footage of me peeing behind a bush. Quite opposite from the premium experience you’d get driving a BMW or Mercedes. Luckily I’m the prime demographic for mandatory late night public urination. However, my wife is not.
And how would you link these ‘decentralized databases’ together without recreating a “massive database’ ? Or do you mean destroying the current ‘massive databases’ permanently?
I think 'hoard' is fine to describe the behaviour without any sort of undue personification. If you really wanted to change it though, the lead guy is quoted as calling them 'avid accumulators' a couple of paragraphs in. (Or 'amassed', 'stashed', 'stowed'; 'collected' and 'stowed' are, to me, more personifying than 'hoarded'.)
Of course they have blackmail on all of them. Look at how poorly run the Epstein operation was. We saw how all of the senators sat silent, aware of what was going on, and did nothing.

But the real conspiracies you should care about are the ones that are obvious and boring. It's fun to think of crazy blackmail rings, which likely exist, but the others are more important. Like the government and politicians don't care at all about your health, they only care about maintaining power. The healthcare corporations don't care at all about your health, they only care about profit.
Like the tax laws are purposefully so confusing so you have to pay money to TurboTax or someone else.

I feel like the answer to lot of unanswerable questions involves how they do things in Japan. Seoul has low rates of homelessness as well.

I'm one hundred percent convinced that America can't hope to recreate the institutional successes of Japan/Korea/Singapore in this area, but I'd love to be proved wrong.
That's a really interesting example. I wonder what we can learn from Tokyo.

Do they have some special affordable housing setup in Tokyo? Or is there some cultural component (it does strike me that even in the us asians are very underrepresented among the homeless)?

This example changes with regards to emotional weight if you remove "a man" and leave it at just "a scanning machine". There is no human scanning your photos on an iPhone, so let's compares apples to apples here.

If that scanning machine didn't reveal the contents of my mail, and then ensured that it wasn't able to be given out in-transit? Yeah, I'd potentially be fine with it - but I'll leave this answer as a hypothetical since it's all theory anyway.

The point here is that you're choosing to use the mail system and you're thus choosing to play by those rules. Given that these checks happen for iCloud you're effectively making the same agreement.

The interface and surfaces should be well defined enough that you don't worry about the difference between development and integration, but when you do have issues they should fall along the lines of "Differences easily spotted on the edge between compose and k8s" and if you can handle those, you're good

I've done multiple ~1000mi road trips in my Model X, and I've peed in a lot of bushes too. A lot of the newer chargers (at least on the east coast) are located at WaWa's, and have 24hr restrooms. But the chargers at malls are a pain. Either the mall is closed, and you need to pee in the bushes, or the mall is open and the traffic is terrible and the chargers are ICE'ed in.

There is one charger in Hardee SC thats in the parking lot of a police station. I was a bit nervous to use the bushes there..
Drugs are escapism. Nobody wants to be addicted to booze or meth or heroin if they were otherwise happy with their life. The same factors lead to addition and homelessness.
I'll add to your alternate take: technology like this starves of oxygen the singular argument (disingenuous as it is) which has proven tractable in the public sphere against robust E2E encryption.

I wonder how this will hold up against 5th ammendment (in the US) covering self-incrimination?
There's basically three approaches a company that implements E2EE can take:

1. Anything-goes. Accept that customers will use it for evil and for good, and justify allowing the former by the latter.

2. Lie to customers. Eg: include a backdoor for law-enforcement.

3. On-device detection of illegal or dangerous content (as Apple is apparently doing)

Regardless of whether approach #1 has merit, I don't see any large company staying with it long term because it's a PR nightmare. No big company wants to have an endless stream of stomach-turning stories in the news. It's easy to predict headlines like "Breaking!
