I've thought about this and since I'm not that attracted to any of the options, I'm not that interested in retiring early. It's possible to have a good job that doesn't overwork you and some spare time outside of that for time with your family and for hobbies - financial independence isn't a prerequisite. And as long as that's the case, I'm not interesting in retirement at any age. Maybe my health will deteriorate to the point where I can't work but then none of the options look that appealing. Or maybe I'll change my mind as I get older. But until then I'm FWRN (financially whatever, retire never). Sure, I'll still save and invest and having more money is great, I just don't see financial independence as some milestone that will change anything for me and that's why I don't pursue it aggressively.

There was a recent post here that made a lot of sense to me - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28070769

I guess the more positive way to express this is - what's stopping you from doing any of these things now and why do you need to wait until FI? Retirement seems like a very roundabout way to achieve the goal of... going for a run and reading SICP.

Much like Reddit which hits lowest common denominator in all the big subs you have to dig for the quality stuff. And hope it gives you similar stuff, but I’ve found that harder on both Netflix and Reddit the bigger they got. But it’s still possible.

Twitter on the other hand seems to do everything possible to push you away from your niches and selected content, even though the whole idea is to follow people.

Not at all, it was one of the reasons why OpenCL lost, by staying too long focused on C.

CUDA supports C++ since version 3.0, and NVidia designs the cards to follow C++ semantics, regardless of the polyglot capabilities from PTX.

Hardly an afterthought, it was Khronos that became surprised that most researchers don't want to use plain old C on their research efforts.

Absolutely. As an example, much of London offers both.
You must surely realise that there’s a fairly large difference between being strip-searched and having a hash computed on one of your photos that you’re uploading to iCloud.
I don't want to see bitcoin die but I just want to see less bullshit.

Even to start the article, everyone knows the market caps are basically bullshit.

Internet Computer (ICP) is the interesting one to me. Zero to 18 billion when it starts in May but obviously there is not 18 billion USD behind that. It is some kind of game being played by the exchanges. There was no equity being traded at the start for an 18 billion dollar valuation. It is all circular.

Just imagine what we could have done technology wise if all the brain power spent on quant finance and crypto now in the last 20 years was spent on something else. It is an absolutely incredible amount of scarce networked brain power time for such little results outside of winning electronic trading games.
> If the government can just claim you had CP without proof, then they can just… do that?

The problem is that they can do whatever if you have CP. Emphasis on "have": you might not even know you have it, because all it takes for you to be guilty is for a forbidden bit of data to be on your disk or cloud account. How did it end there? Doesn't matter much. It's unlikely you'll be convicted if someone else maliciously puts CP on your drive, but it's extremely likely your whole neighborhood will know about it before it's settled. Think about that.

> They don’t need Apples system.

Apple's system makes it sure that whenever someone puts CP on someone else's account, it rings the police and starts the nightmare. Without it, there's a few extra steps that make the nightmare much less likely to happen in the first place.

Years ago I needed to generate default/initial passwords for CRM systems that weren't trivially crackable. I wrote a little script that picked 5 words from a 22e3 dictionary. It's about 70 bit security assuming the adversary knows the dictionary. Not perfect but a whole heck of a lot better than installing stuff with "admin:admin" as is shockingly common.

It still irks me how many places have 1. short password length limits and 2. stupid character class requirements. I use long as heck pass phrases everywhere I can't use a password manager but a shocking number of businesses are still like "max length 12 use 1 capital 1 number 1 symbol" :/
I'm not arguing that you or anyone should use this project. All I'm saying is that this line of questioning is not constructive. Sure, an audit is good, but since this hasn't been audited, what will this line of questioning achieve ? You can go to any project's announcement and pose this type of question, and it doesn't add anything. If you have concrete criticism to add, that's fine. This type of vague insinuation is what's in bad faith here.

The chance of a "technical" false positive is tiny, but they need to look all false positives:
If some joker sends you a lewd picture through WhatsApp, WhatsApp by default saves every picture to your photo library, then you are now on the naughty list.

Good luck trying to explain yourself out of that one.
If you're not a professional web developer, spending 80 hours learning how to modify Emacs will give you much more control over Emacs than the control you get from spending 80 hours learning how to modify VSCode.

Or ar least that was my experience though I was in my prime when I learned Emacs decades ago and almost 60 years old when I spent the 80 hours learning how to modify VSCode.

(I feel I have barely scratched the surface of VSCode and of web tech.)

Web tech gives you a greater degree of control: e.g., Emacs Lisp cannot put red sqiggles under text like VSCode does, but rather limits the user interface essentially to one large "textarea" (though in contrast to TTY interfaces, Emacs has good support for the mouse), but it is very rare for me to want web tech's greater degree of control.

One more thing. For years I went without internet access in my home, yet during those years I continued my habit of doing my emacs modifying at home: all I needed to do was make sure I had the Emacs Lisp reference manual and the Emacs Lisp source-code package installed. On every Linux distro I have used, these are standard packages, and they are all the information I needed to make most of the modifications I made to my local Emacs environment. In contrast, although there are troves of documentation on web tech, I have never succeeded in making a usable offline local copy of any of these troves, and wouldn't consider trying to modify (or explore the internals of) VSCode without constant access to the net.
Correct. https://9to5mac.com/2020/02/11/child-abuse-images/

And if you have your iCloud sync toggle on, since your devices are intended to be uploaded, the client is doing the hashing.
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20230351 says they got $927/month some time ago, which is a decent amount of income I think. It seems to be less now.
Yes I believe it does (I switched to Signal years ago and didn't try WhatsApp for a long time). Many proprietary apps runs great even the ones depending on Google Services.
You must surely realize that slippery slopes exist. And as soon as adversarial code exists in your device, it will only expand.

> women who walk in sorry dresses are whistled on or insulted

Who are you to judge a woman's dress? Also, you should probably know catcalling and other forms of street harassment has little to do with how you're dressed.

> There are bars they cannot enter.

I'm not saying it cannot exist, but i've yet to see evidence of that. I cannot say male-dominated spaces are very welcoming for women and enbies, but it's never happened to me when walking with friends that we were denied entry in a café. It's happened though, on occasion, that we became a local tourist attraction for as long as we stayed, for the dozen or so of men who spend their whole day betting on horse races in there.

> These places are in areas with a large Muslim population.

I don't think this is true, but i don't have scientific data at hand. From my personal experience, there's two factors correlating with catcalling: 1) it only happens in areas where a lot of young men are desperate and have no perspectives for their future 2) it mostly comes from men of african descent, whether they're muslim or not, and muslims from eg. Asia don't seem to engage in such behavior

The first point is very important, because young men to whom society opens the door for making studies and finding a job don't engage in such behavior. Those have access to different social spaces, where flirting takes different forms... and so does sexism. But why is the media only ever concerned about street harassment, and never explain what sexism is on the workplace, or in a bourgeois family? It's of course a racist bias to pretend sexism doesn't exist in France anymore except coming from muslim men.

In fact, i would argue those forms of sexism (catcalling, street harassment) denounced by the media are very much in line with traditional french sexism. A few years back, in the start of the #metoo movement, a hundred women from the higher classes (famous actresses, business women, etc) published a manifesto defending that men have a "right to bother" women (liberté d'importuner). They argue that not accepting no for an answer is part of French romance and it's perfectly fine like that.

If you speak some french, you may be interested to read Valérie Rey Robert's "Culture du viol à la française" (French-style rape culture), you may learn a few things about how french society is deeply misogynistic and pointing the finger at muslims is just a useful tool for the men in power to hide most problems under the carpet.

> Like it or not, we aren't in control.

The typical Apple customer is forking over thousands of dollars. They have substantial control. This isn't like a government where you need a plurality of voters to agree before anything starts to happen.

Apple is running software on their phone that will either (a) do nothing or (b) call the police on them. The situation is questionable even for a normal consumer, let alone a nervous one. Maybe most people will weigh up the situation and keep buying Apple. But they are making a choice, they aren't powerless. And some will start asking how important smartphones really are.
Not necessarily it just means that you don’t know/prove until a certain threshold is reached, in guessing above a specific one that hashes and the photo is then uploaded to Apple for verification and preservation.
In reality there are way more loops than this, since markets tend to be self correcting.

One problem right now is some wealth variables are being incremented in loops that you can only break in to if you have assets, like in the property market.

Yes, but I think you’d agree that each slippery slope has a certain degree of probability.

The slippery slope from Apple checking image hashes to hourly strip-searches seems rather unlikely, which makes your analogy unhelpful.

Knee ligaments are their strongest at full flexion or full extension, they've evolved to be able to support us standing and squatting.

Non-acute knee problems are often found in people who are unable to do this type of squat, as limitations in ankle and hip flexibility (often combined with weakness in these parts) puts a large(r) strain on the knees.

So once upon a time the startup I was working for did a promotion at a big gaming conference. We printed a bunch of business cards that had individually unique promo codes people could redeem. I used 3 random words from a dictionary off the internet as the promo codes cuz that seemed more ergonomic than some random characters.

Let's just say the phrases on some of those cards were quite choice. Thankfully everyone had a sense of humor about it and it wasn't a big deal.
This is an easy fix. Just require being signed in and only allow payment with a valid child attached to the account. You can allow anonymous payments only if you have a valid child account code.

I'm surprised to hear this falsehood being repeated here. There is nothing inherently fallacious about slippery slope arguments. Like almost all rhetorical tactics they can be used fallaciously. The fact that slippery slope is not inherently fallacious is very well documented in the academic literature on rhetoric.

I don’t use Android, so genuine question here: does an Android phone automatically upload everything to iCloud like an iPhone does?

With the iOS ecosystem, in my experience having everything backed up to iCloud is the default position, and you have to turn it off manually.

> NCMEC's database contains images that are not CSAM, not illegal and are not even borderline (grey area).

Got a handy link about this? A quick search doesn't show anything obvious.

> This is spin by Apple, driven by ignorance or deliberately misleading statements.

The claim was that Apple got access to all the pictures on the phone which isn't correct according to their technical summary. Nothing to do with the validity of NCMEC hashes.
Maybe it does not seem a reasonable price to you, but for people who don't know, the HiFive Unmatched [1] sells for 679$ [2].

This is the most powerful RISC-V platform you can buy today. It comes as a Mini-ITX board including 16Gb of DDR4 ram, 1Gbps ethernet, usb 3.2, PCI Express and NVMe.

Of course it is less powerful than an x64 machine at the same price point, but it should work reasonably well when paired with an SSD and a graphics card.

This kind of technical culture has been around donkey’s years, if you read some of the conversations between early wireless telegraphy operators it sounds a lot like the early internet!

Disabling all of Defender is complex, but disabling automatic sample submission is easy. It's an option in the Security settings app, and you're even allowed to disable it during first time set up (or were, last I installed Windows 10).

It nags you once, but you can ask it to stop.

Besides, uploading unseen executable code and scanning photos are far from the same tech. They're very different things.

I tried both, Firefox with ublock and Video Background Play Fix extensions (as someone else pointed out too) is great. But I ended up using NewPipe because I feel it's has a better user experience than the mobile version of the YouTube website (playlist management, audio only, downloading, UI) and it's Open Source.

I still use the Firefox option if newpipe has issues fetching the video (which didn't happened to me for a long time).

It's a preference thing, many options are great.

You might not believe this. But reading the symbols (if u know what they mean) is actually easier that reading words.

For instance, | 3 2 1 0 is read as "reverse" the array "3 2 1 0".
So | 3 2 1 0 gives you 0 1 2 3.

It certainly seems easier to read than "reverse 3 2 1 0". – which assumes your a fluent english speaker.
Unpopular opinion: I think the outrage over this is quite overblown.

This kind of hash checking is done by damn near all cloud providers - Google Photos, Dropbox, Gmail, Discord, Reddit, OneDrive, Facebook, Twitter, you name it. Apple have actually been very reluctant to implement this.

If you don’t like it, you don’t need to enable iCloud Photos. In the exact same way as if you don’t want your images scanned by Dropbox, you don’t upload the photos to Dropbox. It seems reasonable for Apple to implement something like to prevent iCloud becoming a repository for CSAM.

Edit: I’m unable to respond to the comment below this about hashes being performed locally, as I’m rate limited, but here’s my response anyway: The hashes are calculated on the local device, but only for photos which are about to be uploaded to iCloud Photos. The hashes are sent with the photos to iCloud. If a certain number of hashes in someone’s iCloud match (calculated using private set intersection), a manual review will be performed.
I still hope there is a chance that Apple may change course after they realise they may not have thought this through very well.

Especially the argument that this can be weaponised really easily worries me, and it looks like they overlooked it.

For example: some joker sends you a Whatsapp with a lewd picture, WhatsApp by default saves all pictures to your photo roll => you are now on the naughty list.

I really hope they come up with a good answer to that one (or just abandon this unholy plan).

The best way to win battles in the context of systems programming languages is to have a platform ship with the language, libraries alone won't do it.

This is how C put other of business other system languages, much better than it. When you get UNIX and have already paid for a compiler, hardly any department will allow to buy additional compilers.

And C++, people tend to forget it was also born on the same place as UNIX and C, thus it was quickly adopted by all OSes that were UNIX clones in some fashion, and then by C compiler vendors on other platforms.

And on cases like Java, Go, TypeScript or Kotlin, you need a godfather company to push it no matter what.
