The actual Amiga clipboard is actually quite interesting. When an application posts a clip to the clipboard device, it resides in that applications memory until the clipboard device requests it "post" that data somewhere. This makes sense on a low memory system - if an application can ensure the "clipped" data isn't modified, it can just keep it as is without making a copy until it's asked for it.

When "posted" to the clipboard (either in response to pasting, or because the application itself wants to, e.g. because it's being closed), the clip is written as an IFF file to the assign "CLIPS:". Like any other assign, CLIPS: can be reassigned anywhere, including RAD: or RAM: or disk. Unless I misremember badly, CLIPS: defaults to a directory in RAM: possibly indirectly via T:

Since AmigaOS will request volumes that aren't currently in a drive, you could even reassign the clipboard to a floppy with a given label, and the OS would pop up a requester asking for it to be inserted as needed.
> Once a certain number of photos are marked as suspect, Apple will enable all the suspect photos to be decrypted and, if apparently illegal, passed on to the relevant authorities.

Haven't Apple previously claimed that their encryption works such that Apple themselves can't decrypt it no matter what? (IIRC this came up during the San Bernadino attack when the FBI requested that Apple decrypt/unlock a suspect's iPhone and Apple said they couldn't.) Is this not a change? Maybe I'm confusing iCloud encryption vs. iPhone encryption and the former doesn't have any of those guarantees?
> a “secret meeting” followed. There is no court record of that meeting, which Brown said may have been because officials wanted to avoid public embarrassment.

And because we surely don't want to be embarrassed, everything will be done to forget about it, no change will be made to the process, no consequence or probation for the judge or any of the doctors.

Without admission of guilt there can be no remission, but that, the justice system seems to believe true only for criminals.
There is also a radically disproportionate amount of men imprisoned compared to their population percentage. Does this indicate the legal system is biased against men?
It’s 2035, a major terrorist attack occurs. Apple scans all phones for location and images near the area over the last 12 months, sends the list over since the government declared Marshall law.

You are now suspicious until proven not suspicious. The real terrorists don’t even use iPhones. But here we are.

Edit:

Can any legal-heads explain how this does not constitute unlawful search? Apple is not the government, but once they hand the information over, isn’t the government indirectly committing unlawful search? Don’t you need a warrant for this?

> does it mean that the justice system is biased against people who are left-handed?

Yes. That is literally the definition of a statistical bias.

From wikipedia:

Statistical bias is a feature of a statistical technique or of its results whereby the expected value of the results differs from the true underlying quantitative parameter being estimated.
It's no coincidence the variants come from areas with lower vaccination rates.
If your claim were true the variants would come from Israel , Europe or the US.

And most variants don't get a own name because they don't differ enough from known viruses, so only the variants with certain mutations get the attention and a name at all.
It definintely tries (that's sort of the point of it).

... but it doesn't always succeed for multiple reasons. One of the most common being that it's not always possible to grant all parties justice. Sometimes, courts have to evaluate a zero-sum situation and decide how cost will be shared, so there's no way to move forward without constraining someone's rights. And people's definitions of "justice" vary, and are far more often grounded in emotion than coherent philosophy... It's not always even logically possible to grant all parties justice.

The useful distinction to keep in mind is that the legal system will follow the law, but whether the outcome of that is "justice" is a subjective evaluation more than a measurable concept.

To be honest, even without the actual 51% attacks happening, it would really suck to live in a world where just one entity had more than half ownership of a currency used by the people.
You’re off base. The original definition was putting tax and KYC requirements on people who don’t have, and can’t get, that information. Network nodes facilitate transactions, they don’t broker them. Its like treating an exchanges electricity provider as part of the equity trade.

It’s not tax evasion. The law as originally stated would have crippled the industry in the US.
It depends what you mean by "very limited". All the code is provided to you, so you can get through the book by simply copying and pasting the provided code snippets. As long as you understand what the code is actually doing just by reading it, you'll be okay. The book has some "challenges" where you can implement additional features if you want to, but you don't need to. However if your knowledge of Java or C is so limited that you'll have a hard time even understanding what the code is doing, then it's probably not worth the effort going through the book. It will be too confusing, and you won't learn much.

I get why they're making these demands, but this is in the US. This would clearly be an unreasonable search by Fourth Amendment standards if it were done by the government, so I'm not sure why government agencies think they can make demands that they, themelves can't legally execute of a private company. To be clear, it's legal for Apple to do this, and legal for the government to ask them to. The government is just laundering its door-to-door search.

As a long time Photoshop user who knows all the hotkeys I really really hate using Affinity Photo. I refuse to pay monthly for an app I only have to use every so often so bought Affinity.

I just can't use it. The hotkeys are different and none of the UI makes any sense to me.

If you could just enable a "photoshop mode" that changed all the hotkeys and UI then I could be useful in it.

I'm even reconsidering just taking the dive and paying monthly for Photoshop again.

Looking at the setup code here, this looks a lot like SSL reinvented over Kafka (instead of over TCP), which is not a bad thing, just the mechanism feels a lot like you've automated a tcpdump into the protocol by making the handshake packets persisted in the stream + committed to disks.

This somewhat makes sense if you're going to buy Kafka from a cloud provider without the ability to trust them, but the trust here is not very useful beyond securing transport trust.

E2e for Kafka usually shows up as a mechanism to encrypt each item differently, because that has a bigger use-case in it.

Kafka being an immutable log, there is no way to go back and delete data for a customer who asks for a data deletion or legally mandated GDPR data removals.

Being able to shred the keys is very useful if you have a destination or source attribute based keys - instead of purging data out of the kafka log you can throw away the key.
Motion is under-appreciated, for sure.

The UI has some design flaws, but the product is unmatched for what it does.
On the other side of the equation (getting citizenship, rather than renouncing it), here in the UK I have a Chinese friend for whom it cost over £20k to gain citizenship after she married a local. (this was the total paid to the government over, I think, a 3 year period).
I guess the company can bluff the employees pretty easily. They’re not exactly rolling in it (employees) either or have much spare time. If you get one strongly worded letter or ‘reminder’ from HR, I’d venture most would fold rather than go to an attorney.

My complaint isn't about the quantity or quality of security research. By definition security professionals should be up to date on the state of their art. As a developer I want security professionals to help me constructively design systems that are secure by design. Instead I just get vetoes with no real explanation or worse yet just a human frontend to an OWASP tool or some other linter that I could run myself.

I know such security professionals exist, but in my experience they're so massively outnumbered by the bad ones that I've never had the pleasure of working with one directly.

I really want to know whose history you studied. From what I've read, "losing your way in life" usually resulted in starvation and death. Maybe if you're lucky you get drafted into war, and extra lucky you come back alive and intact.

> I'm pretty sure that lead to a conversation about how we locate sounds.

So, psychoacoustics is incredibly complicated. There's something like 13 different mechanisms that co-operate in sound localization.

However, the bulk of it was known quite a bit before 1985, and had nothing to do with the "spatialize me" button on a specific car stereo.

There's no simple way to add a delay to some speakers unless you're working in the digital domain. In analog you have two basic choices. With passive components, you build a ladder filter, which is as the name suggests, just a long chain of low pass or all pass filters. Each "rung" only adds group delay on the scale of a couple usec, so these get very big and expensive fast. They also suffer from accumulated imprecision issues. With active components you can create a feedback loop through an op amp. This is how guitar delay pedals work, but the more delay you have the more distortion you introduce.

Technically there's a 3rd way: extremely long wires, but that's basically never practical.

Thankfully these days everything starts out in the digital domain, so you just need a controllable fifo before the DAC. Entry level home theater receivers have had this since circa 2000.
PostgreSQL occupies the domain of, and competes with, relational databases in a server-client model, especially those with extremely large datasets. Think of databases to track inventory, manage user accounts on a web domain, and so forth.

SQLite occupies the domain of embedded (possibly in-memory and on low-resource systems) databases in which the subset of SQL unrelated to access control is all that's needed. Think of databases that take the place of application configuration, your browser bookmarks and cookies, a music library database.

They are both excellent pieces of software, yes, but they don't even live in the same problem space despite both having "SQL" in their names.

I would worry that penalising policy makers would lead to a curtailing of the power of the political system, and a corresponding transfer of power to private interests without popular oversight.

I’d expect a system where people are forced into roles of political power and punished for failing to perform to degenerate into a bunch of corrupt policymakers doing what their rich patrons tell them to, in exchange for protection and wealth.

It's not yet as bad but it's becoming more and more like the US every day. Australian politicians rarely create original law, they either ape laws from elsewhere or are forced into copying laws from the country they're trying to do trade deals with. Thus Australian law is becoming more and more like that of the US.

For that matter, things won't improve in any anglophone country until they ditch the adversarial system for the inquisitorial one that has a better chance of getting to the truth of a case. But don't hold your breath, that won't happen anytime soon.

This isn’t a government demand. This is something the public cares deeply about, and Apple is solving it their own way.

Public opinion is not in favor of giving safe harbor to pedophiles and child pornographers, and I can’t see why anyone would even want Apple to fight that battle.

If it matches, am I guilty until found innocent?

I have no illicit images, but false positives are always going to be a problem and even at sub-1% rates if you're scanning literally every image stored on an iOS devices that could still be thousands of wrong matches. If I lose the false-positive lottery, am I going to have the police calling and have my mugshot in the evening news for "CP on their device" in particular in my state's months long backlog for digital forensics. Law enforcement aren't exactly known for their understanding of technical evidence like hash-matching.

I'm very sympathetic/supportive of anti-CP initiatives in general, but this still seems problematic.

PS - And before someone replies with "they aren't contacting the police," don't forget the "yet." Once this is in place they'll immediately get pressured by politicians and well-intentioned people alike to flag any positive detections to authorities who will overreact (as law enforcement has a history of doing, particularly around this topic).

> Guilty until proven innocent type of program

But this software doesn’t make arrests? A comparison would be police asking for what cellphones were in an area. There should be a lot of due process that happens before anything comes of this. I imagine police won’t look into one photo, they would want to match more than one.

I agree though, the scary part might be how to clear your name after an overreaction occurs, similar to the effect swatting has on innocents or other kinds of false accusations. But those would happen even without such a system - we’ve heard about such stories before. “Man held for child porn charges, but it turned out they were innocent,” - it doesn’t take this kind of system to have police look over your phone for evidence and find a different crime than expected.

That all said… child porn is really, really terrible and I’m actually in favour of this. As a society, we can decide on what’s acceptable. As long as there’s due process and a presumption of innocence, I’m all in favour of making it harder for criminals to get away with crimes. I do agree though, all these systems might make it harder to catch perpetrators if it pushes them offline. But what other options do we have to stop these sort of crimes when the kids involved can’t or won’t speak up?

I suppose the fundamental problem is that having more evidence doesn’t necessarily lead to justice if it paints a false picture.

Privacy was only a talking point to get them some advantage over the Eye of Sauron (Google). I have no doubt that they were ready to jettison their privacy protection marketing angle at a moment's notice. You can't have access to people's data in the cloud and on their phones, and not use it in certain ways. To do so would be to leave money, and the good will of the government, on the table.
