The amount they are proposing for UBI wouldn't even cover rent in some parts of the US. Or it would barely cover rent in some places with little or nothing leftover. Online conversations about UBI frequently include comments to the effect that "If you had UBI, you could move someplace with lower rent."

It amounts to the latest version of putting homeless people on a bus and shipping them elsewhere so they stop being a local problem.

If rent is lower, it is probably because services are less available. If you need those services, such as specialized health care, telling you "Here's a check. Move someplace where it covers rent." is essentially a big fat fuck you.

We have torn down more than a million SROs and largely zoned out of existence the ability to build new Missing Middle Housing in mixed use, walkable neighborhoods. So you not only need to cover a high rent, you also need to have a car which is another huge expense and another big fat fuck you if you simply can't drive for some reason (as is true for me -- I am handicapped and no longer drive).

If we pass UBI, I believe it will only get harder to convince people to build SROs and Missing Middle Housing and walkable neighborhoods. That would be an important part of actually solving things.

We also need universal healthcare coverage in the US. Medical expenses are another huge hardship in the US.

If it were possible to find cheap housing, live without a car and get medical care without it being a hardship, that would make it possible to live on very little and then most people could make their lives work even if they only worked part-time. Currently, if you can't work full-time at a well paid job with benefits, you can't make your life work and we aren't creating enough jobs of that sort. We are increasingly moving to gig work which would be fine if you didn't need a job with good benefits to get medical care and if you could find a cheap place where living without a car really worked and you mostly can't arrange that in the US.

Throwing money at the problem doesn't fix those systemic issues and likely just makes people in power feel like they did something and don't have to feel guilty while they shirk on dealing with resolving the hard problems because actually fixing anything is hard work and painful and no one wants to actually do that if they can find an easy out like "I cut you check. Stop bothering me."
I did the same. It's not just concerning that this occurred, but that we effectively got no warning about it at all that this would be starting! Its already running now.

It all started with XMLHttpRequest (slightly serious).

Ajax spawned "Web 2.0", which in turn spawned the batteries-included-JS-frameworks (which overtook simpler libraries & plugins). Resume driven development then made them the standard, and we now have a generation of programmers who think a GET request only returns JSON, and were never taught it can also return HTML ;)

They built tall, 3 story, modern "block" townhomes in the backyard next to my 100+ year-old home. They stick out (nothing else on the block is remotely as tall or modern), block sunlight in my back yard all winter, and critically damaged a 100 year old tree in my backyard (of course, nothing I can do about that--developer got away with it).

They are a massive eyesore and have made my outdoor space just...frustrating and no longer private. Every time I go back there, I see the giant black wall next door. We're planning to put up 30ft tall, thin trees, at our expense, just to try and restore the space to where it was before. Developer walks away with his money and I get to pay for it.

The challenge with medium density is that it's built without existing residents' thoughts in mind w/ regards to footprint, design, size, etc. You end up with neighborhoods that aren't cohesive. Of course, requiring existing residents' input means that there would probably never be new housing, so that isn't a realistic option.

The people that moved in are great people, and we need more housing where I live. Change is gonna happen whether I like it or not. We have a housing crisis. New housing is eventually going to be built somewhere, and it's going to come for neighborhoods with the most walkability and services first.
That's not how we roll, so it must have been something else.

The two fun facts I’ve always liked about this are:

- They change the texture of the ground in between lands/park areas so when you walk over it you realize something’s different and look around.

- they “invented” a color, Go-Away Green, which emulates the color of grass, and the fire hydrants and other structural stuff are painted with it. Look in a flower bed next time you are there and you’ll see them if you’re careful, but you don’t realize them until you know.

If there is a tunnel that moves a lot of vehicles quickly then that will generate problems at the entrance where vehicles line up to enter and at the end where vehicles exit. This may work out, but it is likely that all tunnel interfaces will, like bridges, require a complex array of interfaces to surface roadways. That adds a lot of expense and takes up a large amount of space, but there is no other way to make fast tunnels actually work to anywhere near their capacity. This implies that making fast tunnels work involves much more than the fast tunnels alone.
They want but will never walk.
With modern autocomplete for commands, discovering commands in emacs has never been easier. "M-x sort" will show you all fuzzy completions of that commands basically instantly.

How many are willing to deal with shortsighted neighbours who refuse to fix their condo building?

"Avoid" being the operative word! Unfortunately we've chosen to slap on the suburbia band-aid that just introduces more negative externalities.

Have they tried positioning the park West-East vs North-South to check the conversion rates!?
> chaotic system
I imagine this is the result of some sort of negotiation with the US government. US government wants backdoors, Apple doesn't want to provide them. Apple also wants to store pictures on iCloud encrypted, without encryption backdoors. The compromise to protect the rest of encrypted things on iCloud was to implement this client side scanning before upload to iCloud to ensure iCloud does not contain any illegal material without exposing backdoors directly to the US government.

In light of that, I then imagine that other providers are already storing photos and data unencrypted and did not object to adding scanning on the server side, and also did not share anything about the scanning with the public.
I can't edit anymore but I misunderstood the second layer. The second layer contains a single Secret Share (that can be used to reconstruct a decryption key after certain threshold) and an encrypted image information. User must upload multiple photos matching the initial CSAM database past certain threshold for any of them to be decryptable at all.
For another thought on how easy this could suffer from scope creep, iOS does (did?) store whole-app screen captures as PNGs for use on the app switcher, etc.

If this is already scanning photo libraries locally, just add the temp dir for app screen captures and they're effectively monitoring your screen too.
I'm not sure if it's a majority, however, I certainly recommend them everywhere I can. I've been using them since before Google reader shut down, so they've certainly been around a while.
I don't locate the problem with "pop culture," but with a certain kind of activist culture that's currently popular. Activism isn't a truth-seeking operation. Activists already know the truth; their job as they see it is to educate or cudgel everyone else. Activism isn't responsive to new information, for this very reason. It isn't interested in hearing new truths. It already knows all the truths that matter and, further, perceives itself to be engaged in a battle to convert these truths into policy.

I don't mean this to sound trite. I think it's a fundamentally mistaken way to operate in the world and it makes it a lot harder to have honest conversations about complex issues like this one.

> If that's true, as an iCloud user you are exactly as likely to be charged with a crime based on your photos as you were before

Is this strictly true? I feel like the evidence that a photo was present on specific device is different from evidence that a photo was uploaded by a specific account (and a specific ip address probably).

It seems like it would be far easier for the government to justify a search warrant if they have evidence the photo they are looking for was on a specific device. Just having evidence that a specific account uploaded a photo seems like far shakier grounds to search a specific device, after all accounts are often stolen to be used for criminal purposes and ip addresses don't map cleanly to people or devices.
Back to whale oil I suppose!
I agree. But it's worth noting that there are anecdotes on the snopes page about people getting "eaten alive" with dozens of bites every time they visit. We already know that mosquitoes are drawn to some people over others for a host of reasons. Maybe these people are the exception. A handful of guests being eaten alive out of millions is virtually zero.

I think this is actually a hedging by the author. If someone public is criticizing a CSAM system, they have to admit CSAM is a problem to avoid being considered a sympathizer and damage their rep.

We are comparing energy / sqmi. US and China have similar landmass. 3.8M sqmi vs 3.7M sqmi. Comparing their total energy consumption is, up to a constant factor, the same as comparing their energy / sqmi consumption.

Countries should decide for themselves if they'd like to be crowded, thus per capita energy poor or sparsely populated, thus per capita energy rich.
> If you build a back door, then people will use it. So let’s build it anyway because it is a middle ground.

If it was clear you’d be able to support it with a quote. I’m pretty sure you can’t.

Not so. There's nothing stopping you from using containerization in GNU/Linux to sandbox any potentially malicious programs, as AOSP does. It's just that running a fully Free desktop means you generally don't have to do this in the first place!
Carbon zero transportation is a two step process: electrify the transportation and green the electricity. They both have to be done, and they both take a long time. If each side waits for the other, neither gets done.

At current prices, renewables are the cheapest energy sources, any increased demand for energy will bias the electricity mix greener.

It makes a great deal of sense when thinking about the use case: recording a monotinic time in a computing environment with limited resources and extremely unlikely to ever see files from before midnight of new years eve 1970.

With a great deal of existing routines that work with those values and a good number of existing files and storage applications based on the simple version, it makes even mores sense to extend that in an unsigned way with a larger bitfield for any timestamp. Though as recently came up, leap seconds and synchronization could use a few bits to describe which timestamp is in use.
You are still falling into the same line of thinking here. The person isn't arrested because we assume they are a molester. They are arrested for possessing illegal material. Your argument here really sounds like you are suggesting that CP should be legal and it is the action of molesting that should be illegal. I don't think you would find many people who agree with that. Society has decided both are separate crimes and while there is likely large overlap, overlap is not required to be charged for either crime individually.
I meant coffee or dinner are irrelevant and unnecessary to having a fun conversation. Plus, doing the same old thing everyone else does is boring and unimaginative.
> Apple, not you, controls what you can install on mobile devices

Apple corporate headquarters keeps a tight lock on the apps available for its mobile operating system (iOS), which is used on the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Software developers even have to pay a tax to Apple to publish their work in the App Store. With the vice-like grip they have on Macs now thanks to Apple Silicon, new Mac computers now forbid you from installing free software applications or operating systems, due to improper use of code signing.

> Apple also prevents you from changing the operating system on the devices, so there's no way to escape the restrictions. If you try to change the software on your device, Apple's lawyers claim you are a criminal under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). They've done this as recently as December 2019, when they used the DMCA to remove a post to Twitter that revealed an iPhone encryption key.

I've personally spent countless hours over many years poring over the data on this and I can tell you that the overwhelming majority of HN comments like yours are based on nothing more than imagination. It's extremely easy to imagine that you're seeing things and make up stories around what you think you're seeing. These stories almost never amount to anything. Even to say "almost never" is misleading—it's vanishingly rare. (Unless you count hapless voting rings from clueless startups. Those are common but they're naive abuses and not what people mean when they go on about sinister astroturfing.)
