I don't think it is off topic for me to say that your comment is arrogant with statements that are either incorrect or make a lot of assumptions. Maybe throw in a bit of schadenfreude in too. I think the style of discourse here colours the discussion, and your comment is a statement rather than a discussion.

I certainly saw patients over the past year - at no point did I stop. My patients were grateful that the hospital steered away from a dysfunctional breakdown, which allowed us to keep running our day unit and ward to treat our cancer patients. There were a couple of points where local hospitals became overwhelmed, and the diversion to our hospital threatened to overwhelm us as well. I would say the lockdowns allowed us to treat our patients during this last year.

The certainty in your belief that the lockdown has resulted in hospitals being full (?forever) makes several assumptions. There are other explanations, and my personal hunch is it is something to do with spread of infectious diseases with social restriction easing.
Mechanical ventilation (with or without heat/enthalpy recovery) with filters -- what should one look for when evaluating what to purchase? Do you recommend specific brands?
I basically use the API to create a checkout specific to the user's order, then listen to the webhook to fulfill the credits. Gateways are Shopify and PayPal. Shopify payments are in my bank account in a couple of days.
You're not thinking of the types 4 or 6? They were both horrible sponges.

The Type 5 is also a quiet rubber-dome-with-slider model, but pleasantly tactile with very high quality keycaps. (I'm fond of it, and so inclined to be defensive - in fact I'm using a Type 5c right now. It was my favourite among the 90s Unix vendors.)
On the other hand, my i7 16 inch MacBook Pro consists of purely lag. Half of the time it’ll be the ‘kernel process’ so I don’t even have a clue what’s causing it.
From 27.1 Emacs could be configured to use a native library (jansson) for json parsing, it helped LSP a lot. And now there is a new native-comp feature, where you can AoT compile elisp bytecode to native code with libgccjit, which improves Emacs performance in general.

Anecdotally, a few months ago I wrote some Flutter on a potato laptop, NeoVim native LSP client + nvim-compe was borderline unusable. The vim-lsc somehow fared much better - albeit still choppy - even though it's written in vimscript. Emacs + eglot is the only combination that was smooth.
This is only applied to photos being uploaded to iCloud.
What is worse is that the United States had a warning system. The world depended on it.

The budget for it was 800 million dollars.

It was removed from the budget in 2018 and I believe the funding ran out September 2019.

It only took three months.

By March 2020-the administration was putting out $800 BILLION dollars.

And since then they’ve put out more.

Taiwan—which adopted the US system (and therefore was in Wuhan January 4) had no real outbreak until 2 month ago—and even then, the outbreak was contained.

Frustrating…
Yes I'm sure I will, because that sounds exactly like what was being repeated 20 years ago. And I will keep hearing about it for a long long time while many new gas and even coal plants get built with their 50 year lifespans.

Funny thing about this movement. It's caused more greenhouse gas emissions than just about anything. Anti-nuclear "environmentalists" are just about the best friends the fossil fuel industry has ever had. You'd almost think the whole thing was orchestrated by them, that's how great the partnership has been for them.
In a sensible world there would be a law that allows you to pick and choose which non-essential apps and services can run on the hardware you own.

> The risk she perceives with Apple is that they will falsely accuse people of crime.

In my country, there was not so long ago a case of a person wrongly accused of murder[0]. He spent 18 years in prison, despite there being no convincing evidence of him committing the crime. The people invested in the case wanted to have a scapegoat ASAP. Cases related to pedophilia are often very emotionally-charged, given the nature of the crimes. It can easily lead to hastily made decisions that can ruin many lives.

> Not to mention how infinitely unlikely it is that _several_ of your photos would be similar enough to known abusive material to be flagged.

Given enough time and enough attempts, there still is a possibility of something like that occurring. And this is with an assumption that the algorithm used will be correctly implemented with no false positives at all – something that I doubt even a manual analysis by humans would be able to achieve given the volume of data to check.

An attacker who has a way to place multiple illegal images onto someone’s phone and into their iCloud Photo Library without their consent… it’s an interesting idea but how is it possible?

At least from my understanding. So there are probably a lot of innocent pictures in the DB.
This article seems to be conflating morality with paying attention to people in need.

I would call that “generosity”, perhaps. But when I see the word “moral” I think of things like:

* keeping one’s promises

* being honest

* being fair in one’s dealings

And I don’t see how Facebook or social media in general can affect that.

In my mind, if someone needs encouragement to act moral, then that person is not truly moral.
I would bet that a lot of these are not rookie errors, they are more akin to Spectre or Meltdown: inherently unsafe code that was considered a valuable risk for performance.

In general, when writing a high performance middle box, you want to touch the data as little as possible: ideally, the CPU wouldn't even see most of the bytes in the message, they would just be DMA'd from the external NIC to the internal NIC. This is probably not doable for HTTP2->HTTP1, but the general principle applies. In high-performance code, you don't want to go matching strings any more than you think is strictly necessary (e.g. matching the host or path to know where to actually send the packet).

Which is not to say that it wasn't a mistake to assume you can get away with this trade-off. But it's not a rookie error.
Alpha particles penetrate barely any at all. An arm x-ray would also hit you with particles that hit more (and more valuable) cells in your body.

It does not remove desired data from your device, it adds undesired data and then deletes itself including any evidence that you are a victim instead of a criminal.
> This is how iOS and apps in general work - you don't really control the amount of data you're using, and you never did. Downloading a changeset of a hash database is not a big deal; I'd wager you get more push notifications with data payloads in a day than this would be.

Oh, definitely. But I am given the ability to remove those apps, or to disable these notifications, and I consider the ones I leave to be of some value to me? This? On my phone? It’s literal spyware.

But, as I said, it's only because I am a maniac regarding how tools should behave.

The point you add about Google, however, is a real issue. I’ve seen some people mention LineageOS and postmarketOS. But isn’t really a solution for most people.
New Laptop: Thinkpad P14s
It remains to be seen if this is possible at all… let alone “easily” done.

Have any other big tech companies that scan for illegal images been shown to be vulnerable to this?
AFAICS, no, they don't. If you don't install the bank's app, you are usually offered to use a stand-alone hardware TAN generator. I currently have 4 TAN generators for different bank accounts (because everybody seeems to use a different protocol).

On the positive side, a stand-alone air-gapped TAN generator feels much saver than using a (possibly back-doored) smart-phone to do on-line banking.
There is a nonzero price to enforce norms and laws.

For instance, let's imagine a technology emerges that can render any wall in a building transparent and penetrable for a short time, without affecting the structural integrity of the building. How much easier would it make the job of the law enforcement! How many crimes would it help prevent or at least detect! Of course it will be a securely guarded technology, so that it won't fall to hands of random strangers, malicious hackers, or burglars; only the law enforcement agencies would use it, and only for legitimate purposes! Honest.

Would you endorse such a technology in your town? Mandate it for your neighborhood? Why? Are you comfortable with the idea that a number of crimes will go undetected or not prevented because this feature is not implemented? Not rhetorical questions all.
I opted for Zehnder using a DIY package. If you have basic DIY skills you can install it yourself in a couple of days. Comes with semi-flexible ducting, which is super easy to use. I have fresh air delivered to the living room & bedrooms, and extraction in the kitchen/bathroom/utility room. The unit does heat recovery in winter, which ought to save a bit on the heating bill. It's early days, so we'll see how that goes.
No idea if that is universally true, but I feel like most people here (in Germany) have a lot of respect for red lights. It's not unusual to see cars waiting at a red light in the middle of nowhere.
From anecdotal evidence, a) is more likely than b). The deadlines are arbitrary because most companies are slow bureaucratic oil tankers that are difficult to steer and will mow down everything in their path once a course is set. Management's job should to be to work on this, to improve the system as a whole and making it more nimble, not on myopic deadlines that fulfil some checkbox and are tied to your EOY bonus. This is outlined by people like Deming and others in the systems thinking space.

From experience, in their career, engineers not only need to excel technically, but are also forced to pick up everything from UX, methodological BS (from Scrum to Itil) to domain specific know-how in multiple fields or areas. Since many managers do not know what they're doing, senior engineers often times end up being de facto management consultants as well. If you are working in a business environment (as opposed to writing low-level drivers or whatever) it's almost impossible to not pick up on what's going on around you.

How many banking managers know how to code? How many engineers working in banking know at least something about the processes, compliance issues, how the org is structured, what the competitors are?

The stereotype of the autistic programmer who is only interested in shiny gadgets and tech needs to die.
I have an unusual, hard to spell surname. One time when I lived in the UK I found it hard to open a new bank account.

After a bit of investigating I found out that I had been placed on the Credit Industry Fraud Avoidance System because different spelling of my name had been used in previous applications. This was seen as an attempt to get past credit checking, in reality the people entering my name in to their systems mis-spelled/mis-typed my name. As a result of someones carelessness I was flagged as being risky.

My point was that the article has nothing to do with the Apple situation. Being confused for someone rightly accused of a crime is very different from being falsely accused.

And I'm not sure what your main point is. Yes, sometimes people are wrongly accused, even convicted. Is that argument against having a legal system, or what are you trying to say?
>Not in the least because moving the countryside will increase car dependence and pollution.

Not if you move AND stay in the countryside for the most part.

Countryside != suburbs, where you might come and go to some city everyday.
My next phone will not be an iPhone.
There's probably some better and worse areas in a city for pitching a lot of tents for a long time. For example some unused parking lots could work better than streets. It would make sense for the city to provide some basic services there too, like water, toilets and a trash skiff... probably some person actually doing it would know a lot better what's important, and what would be alleviate the need to camp somewhere that causes problems for others.

It seems that there's this discussion between false alternatives like "let people do anything" and "let's punish people harshly for minor things". How about offering better alternatives, giving people instructions first before any worse consequences etc.

Even if all of the citizens of the US did what you said tomorrow, would it really make a difference with China producing (as of 2015) 29.4% of all CO2 emissions? Even if the US (at 14.3%) somehow cut emissions to zero, there are still the not-so-rich countries that comprise the “Other” group that is responsible for 31.5%. Your feelings are valid, you may just be directing them at the wrong culprits IMHO.

> I'm just advocating that tax laws exist & are enforced, so as to redistribute wealth, which I don't view as oppressive.

There is almost nowhere on earth that does wealth redistribution. Most taxes are based on income. Wealth distribution has traditionally failed so hard that there aren't even serious attempts any more.

> I disagree with the implied premise that there is not a "centralisation of power" under libertarianism.

That is impossible so it isn't a premise of anything. Libertarianism is trying to minimise the centralisation of power.

> ... consider the United Fruit Company for example ...

I'll admit to not having researched the UFC particularly closely, but wasn't its mode of operation quite close to getting the government to do a lot of its dirty work? I'd assume typically it was co-opting taxes.

> ...or the current prevalence of child labour in tech company supply chains (e.g: Glencore, Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt)...

Look, if you have child labour in your mine you've mucked up and you're probably leaving a lot of money on the table. Children aren't good workers, by and large. Mining tends to favour experienced workers driving large, expensive, well maintained machines. If you put a kid in one of those they'll wreck it.

Particularly I doubt Glencore is seriously using child labour because they run their mines to make a profit. They'd be trying to keep them out. Not to mention the political backlash.
Microsoft and Google hash your unencrypted photos on their own servers. Apple could easily do the same… I wonder why they didn’t…

Edit: tracking -> scanning
It's a concept that relies on a great deal of magic to function properly. The binary-only compiler we have must insert code to propagate the infection. To do so it must know it is compiling a compiler, and understand precisely how to affect code generation, without breaking anything. That... feels like an undecidable problem to me.

Would you be willing to share how much you acquired the pizza business for?
But they can do that anyway. For all you know it is already running. As the system is proposed it only scans before uploading so not scanning all data on the phone. of course any thing can change. But since it is a closed source os nothing is stopping them from having the ability anyway.

>what is missing are people who are consistent nuisance to the powers that be

Assange was one of them, and look what happened to him.

>Can you imagine what happens if Snowden sneaks back into the US and courts arrest by the Dems while they chant about defending privacy, and ideally does it exactly when some inevitable privacy/data exploitation related fiasco happens?

The news would cover the arrest, he would go to jail, and after a couple of months there would be a short news item about how Snowden was convicted under the Espionage act and sentenced to life in prison.

There is no way to do a public interest defence when you are charged under the espionage act, so the outcome would be a forgone conclusion, and I don't see the mainstream media being interested in that fact.

If you look how little coverage there is of the actual details of the Assange case (or the Donzinger case for that matter) in the mainstream media, it is clear to me that there is no way Snowden would get anything done by facing 'justice'.

There would be some reporting on the fact that it happened, but there would be no reckoning or analysis of root causes (outside of places like Democracy Now).
Will it help? Imagine what other companies will do if Apple will get away with that...
That’s the problem with closed-source software in general, and one that can be remotely updated in particular.

And I am writing that as a (now formerly?) happy iPhone user. It’s just that I don’t trust it or Apple as much anymore.

And although there is no way of predicting with certainty how it will evolve, most past successful similar processes and systems usually went down the anti-terrorism & copyright enforcement roads.
Reminds me of the German novel QualityLand, where rich people give their children names with deliberate misspellings just to avoid cases like that.
Some of those models are preserved in the archives at Arcosanti and Cosanti. Unfortunately many of them have been lost to the elements.

Apple never gets to see your photo. Even if the photo matches the database and even if you have enough photos matched to reach the threshold that lets Apple decrypt the hashes, the photo itself is not decrypted or sent to anyone as part of this process. Only the related metadata.
In my limited experience (no longer using macOS after ~6 years on the platform), homebrew upgrades was broken more often than upgrades provided by GUI applications. I specifically remember a particular postgres upgrade via homebrew went wrong and I had to basically erase all traces of postgres before re-installing again in order to get it to work. On the other hand, I can remember zero times a GUI upgrade went wrong.

At this rate Apple is no better than Xiaomi or Huawei: using forced labor to make their phones; produce phones in China; biggest market is China; checking your phone for violated content. Maybe time to switch to Xiaomi, it is 3x cheaper and better tech.
I mean no harm, but you definitely sound like you're on the left.

Not only do you imagine that CNN isn't seen as left (except by the only pillar of right-ness you've named, Fox) - but you know plenty of people who are left of CNN, which is already left of the median voter.

That you think NPR is a status quo defender - when their coverage of anything that touches on culture topics is extremely and consistently progressive - reaffirms that.

Please understand it's fine to be left-wing, but you will see the world as controlled by nefarious powers and agendas if you don't recognise that you are.

For example -they couldn't make a July 4th post without immediately turning it into a People's History seminar with a lecture about women's and indigenous rights.

Huh, I was very lucky to have used the web before the launch of Mosaic, using the Terminal based Lynx bowser. I worked at the UK Forestry Commission research agency and we had Telnet access to a computer at Edinburgh University.

I remember when Mosaic was announced, so it must have been between the launch of Lynx in 1992 and Mosaic in early 1993. That's a pretty narrow window.

A year or two later I demoed Mosaic to some of the research staff, showing off some web sites with some basic Biology information and illustrations. It was a real struggle to get them to see the potential, understandably I suppose. I wonder if any of them remember that demo today.
