A lot of the "subsidies" are just deductions available to businesses in general, like tax credits for research and development or not being double taxed on foreign income. [0] I have even seen the deductibility of interest included in these reports.

The others are externality calculations. Important, but really what they are asking for is extra taxes and calling it a subsidy when no money is being spent.

Are there a large number of oil and gas specific subsidies?

Oh yeah, I forgot about that bought it so long ago it slipped my mind. But as someone that switches regularly, the "2 computers" purchase for mac+windows was a no brainer for me.
Right and how you reduce that liability is to do the scanning client-side and reject the upload/send. Google does this with Drive uploads and WhatsApp does it on message sends.

You can't be in hot water for hosting/distributing CSAM if it never gets on your servers/network in the first place.
I never said it was divisive. All I said was from a practical standpoint the vast majority of their TAM is capped at capturing part of the 13.5% of the population.

Can they build a good business doing that? If they can discover and secure great content, then I think so.
this is how it always starts, Apple went from 'no it's not possible to unlock the shooters phone' to 'yeah you can give us the fingerprint of any image (maybe doucuments too) and we'll check which of our users has it'
No, it doesn't. You have conflated two entirely different systems.

Even in situations like that one, I think it's possible to avoid the comment:

- setting up a type (with a comment linking to that API's documentation)

- setting up a shape validator & a test that asserts that that that field is a string with the correct shape

- Using a variable name that makes it clear that something intentional is happening: `const weirdlyStringifiedJSONObject = JSON.stringify(...)`

A comment might still be the simplest thing to add, but it doesn't mean it's the only way to document that weirdness. Comments can be fragile compared to the same documentation expressed in code

Personally I’ve never, ever encountered someone who isn’t in the privileged class having these concerns lol.
I think the refugees are motivated much more by the financial incentives those governments provide. They usually pass through multiple safe countries to get to places like Germany. A modernized Plantation of Ulster has been the policy of every Western government since the 60s.

War and, I guess, the weather, are convenient narratives for these highly unpopular policies.
You’re missing my point. FWIW, I agree people should try to minimize driving where feasible.

OP isn’t just suggesting that people drive less. According to him, drivers are “abhorrently selfish” and are directly responsible for death, disease, and need to take pay cuts and live in smaller homes so they can more easily fit into his little box that defines a good person.

I’m not up in arms about the idea of biking. I’m up in arms about people with extremely carbon expensive lifestyles claiming that everyone else is reprehensible for engaging in $specific_activity.
So you're opposed to the basic concept of marketing niches?
I have learned to ignore the boxes and only look at the price per weight when buying cereal etc. Paying attention to the weight still works, but it’s hard to tell with cereal.
20 years ago in Germany, many groceries were required to be sold in specific amounts (e.g. 500g or 1000g of cereals). This requirement was eventually lifted, probably all due to lobbying from the producers. Now you have 20 kinds of cereals on the shelf and they all cost the same, but if you look closely every one has a different weight (375g, 500g, 650g, ...). It's crazy. In the end it just means that I need to buy two packages of one kind of cereal because there's less in the package.
iCloud photos aren’t currently encrypted, but this system provides a clear path to doing that, while staving accusations that E2E of iCloud will allow people to host CP there with impunity.

When the device uploads an image it’s also required to upload a cryptographic blob derived from the CSAM database which can then be used by iCloud to identify photos that might match.

As built at the moment, your phone only “snitches” on you when it uploads a photo to iCloud. No uploads, no snitching.

We know that every other cloud provider scans uploads for CSAM, they just do it server side because their systems aren’t E2E.

This doesn’t change the fact that having such a scanning capability built into iOS is scary, or can be misused. But in its original conception, it’s not unreasonable for Apple to say that your device must provide a cryptographic attestation that data uploaded isn’t CP.

I think Apple is in a very hard place here. They’re almost certainly under significant pressure to prove their systems can’t be abused for storing or distributing CP, and coming out and saying they’ll do nothing to prevent CP is suicide. But equally the alternative is a horrific violation of privacy.

Unfortunately all this just points to a larger societal issue. Where CP has been weaponised, and authorities are more interested in preventing the distribution of CP, rather than it’s creation. Presumably because one of those is much easier to solve, and creates better headlines, than the other.

Dreamweaver is no-code, but you can't build a web application with it. Just a static website. Maybe there's some interactivity like being able to submit a "Contact Us" form. But that's it.

A web application has application logic of some kind, maybe like a retirement calculator. That kind of application will accept user input (e.g. "age", "monthly savings amount", "exp. rate of return"), and apply that data to a model of some kind. That results in an output "You need to save $X to retire at age Y, assuming ROR is Z%"

Bubble is a full no-code app-builder. There are other no-code tools like Zapier, but they're not used to build full apps, but rather to connect two different apps without writing API queries yourself. For example, let's say you're running a virtual conference. Your tickets are sold on Platform X, and your videoconferencing solution happens on Platform Y.

When someone buys a ticket using X, you want to auto-send an email from Y with their videoconference link. You do that by connecting the two services visually via Zapier.

I think this is a combination of various weaknesses acting in discord (rather than in concert) to create pure chaos.

1) Making the devices Internet-Must devices. Not only does this mean some dumb failure modes when your connection goes down -- and it will -- but temperature adjustments might be made based on far-away weather stations, processed through layers of averages and aggregators, instead of drawing from local sensors.

2) Not thinking about security (conflicts massively with #1). Security isn't as daunting if you are not hooked up to the Internet. It can still be an issue, but opening up your attack surface to "the world" only makes things worse.

3) Proprietary, and therefore incompatible standards. If I want X, but I already have Y, I hope to hell that YCorp has an X-like offering in their works.

4) Being more about data collection (see also Samsung's SmartTVs exfiltrating data, or Amazon Walk ... or maybe now Apple is dipping their toes into that with their CSAM "won't somebody think of the children?" business)

5) The general disposablity of today's electronics. This also plays into standards because it'll just burn out so why be backwards-compatible? Just make a new standard. And you're back to #3.
Under the hood we use the uddsketch percentile approximation algorithm [1], which is able to both be combined and also provides relative error guarantees. I'll also be writing a post about our percentile approximation stuff in the future that will go into more detail on this, though I'm not going to go through all the math. The basic gist is it uses a histogram with logrithmically sized buckets to give some relative error guarantees.

Fair point. Admittedly I used a more "click bait" title i hopes that people would actually take a look compared to my previous posts. It seemed to work though, since this post got the most engagement.

> Also, only 10x sites and each site is limited to 10x pages that would probably disappear the moment the money runs out or you decide to pull the plug on it vs the Internet Archive offering. Seriously?

I'm limiting it to 10x10 in order to keep my hosting and storage prices low while I try and get paying customers. I plan on expanding this once I get some paying customers (fingers crossed).

> Also, in what way(s) is your* project better than the Wayback Machine as stated in your previous submission? The Site FAQ fails to answer that.

The Internet Archive is great, but it's not perfect. You have no control over when or if your website is crawled (as far as I know) and it doesn't offer DNS archives and Lighthouse Audits.

Good point though, I should add this to the FAQ. Thanks for the tip!

> I seriously feel that perhaps I am being a bit too harsh here but if something hasn’t gained traction even after submitting it 6x times has got to tell you something.

All good! And yes, I've submitted this multiple times. It might just be that HN is not the best audience for this.

Yes, Black Americans have their own culture from music to literature to TV shows like Good Times and the Jeffersons. This is not seen as a bad thing here, it has produced many great things.
A 4 watt LED lightbulb left on constantly for a year would consume 52 kWh of energy, costing ~£7.50 at UK prices, releasing ~9.5 kg of CO2, the equivalent of driving 23.5 miles in the average US passenger vehicle.

There are good reasons for turning off lights in the house (getting a good night's sleep is one!) but saving energy is no longer one of them.

This happened a whole bunch to us recently. We even made a little display out of our online purchases gone wrong. Tiny hand creams, doll-sized post-it notes, itty-bitty padlocks, and more, all due to deceiving photos and prices. It became a joke whenever we ordered something new on Amazon to ask if it was going to be lilliputian or regular. It's clearly not an accident and has only been happening recently after 20 years of ordering regular sized things online.

Yes Apple only cares enough about developers to keep them developing for iOS and MacOS. Just look at the backlash from smaller dev shops about MacOS code signing. Also look at some of the crazy Mac Mini setups use to deploy complex iOS/MacOS builds. Mac Stadium is filling a Mac “server” gap that other developers could hardly care about when developing for Android or Windows.

Look how stale some of the packages MacOS bundles by default are like Python. Even Homebrew fills a gap that pretty much every other Unix based OS has; apt, yum, and pkg are a few examples.
>> The obvious conclusion is Apple will start to scan photos kept on device, even where iCloud is not used.

Wrong [1]. It's even in the first line of the document which you apparently didn't even read:

Looking at the sibling I currently see right below hits the nail on the head as in vendor lock in is bad for both SaaS and perpetual licensing models.

I think none of the models currently work well for the consumer. If your SaaS provider shuts down its service you have to replace all the hardware too because of vendor lock in.

If your perpetual license vendor stops making this produ t line or changes its proprietary software incompatible say 3 years down the line (which from a software development standpoint is reasonable actually) you can't buy another light switch for the new room you added by subdividing the basement "play room" that would work with your original installation. Software incompatible. New software or other vendors' software won't work on your 'ancient' hardware.

Vendor lock in bad.
The bee hotels we have typically attract non-native mason bees which are later parasitized by parasitoid wasps. It may be better to encourage plants that have pithy stems and leave them over winter (if you are in area with winter) so that bees can use them to nest.

Planting wildflowers with genetics native to your region is among the best things you can do to support pollinators.

I’ve recently become interested in learning Kubernetes for some work I’m doing. But I’m not a sysops engineer or even really a backend person, so I kind of want to pick the right horse to back and learn some simple tools so that I can get builds onto GCP or AWS. Mostly I want to make sure there is a StackOverflow post for whatever problem I will encounter.

What do people think is the best ‘stack’ to invest in? I’m also curious about experiences with CapRover and/or FastAPI.
Black people mostly aren’t immigrants and it’s not fair to demand that they assimilate if they don’t want to. America forcibly enslaved black people for hundreds of years, then excluded them from our society and political process for a few generations, it’s not surprising that they developed their own culture.
Thanks for the response. I agree! That's exactly what we saw first hand at previous roles. Access control usually starts simple, but quickly evolves in complexity.

> No company has successfully marketed an actual smart home system.

No company has successfully marketed an _affordable_ or middle-class smart home system. These systems do exist and have for years, and they largely work exactly as you described. The big three companies for such solutions are Crestron[0], Savant[1], and Control4[2]. It's been awhile since I've checked, but if I recall correctly they run on average anywhere from $5-$25k (or more depending on the size of your home and scope of automation). Much of the cost comes from all of the bespoke devices they build to automate existing products e.g. a proximity sensor that goes in your car to trigger presence automations, as well as the cost of the (very granular) white glove setup you get from the installer to prevent the possibility of the chaos you described.

I guess what confuses me is that one says a film is French because it has been produced by a French producer for a French audience. French is both a culture and a location.
