The really interesting part is the huge gap between loading the CSS and starting the load of "patternbg.png", which is linked to by the CSS. When I load https://lgms.nl/ locally, I see the CSS finish loading at the 397ms mark in the overall pageload and the image load get queues at the 411ms mark, which is more like what I expected.

My best guess is that there is some extension involved that takes a long time to process attempted fetches and decide whether to allow them or not.... It would be interesting if the timeline included "we are ready to go fetch this and waiting on extensions to make up their mind" bits.
Were you rushing or dragging?

Au contraire. The sooner we reduce the World's population to more sustainable levels, the sooner we get on top of many of Humanity's problems. Like: Climate Change, loss of ground water, loss of fish, pollution levels, soil depletion, loss of forests, and more.

If we had a quarter of the population, we'd have only a quarter as much CO2 going into the atmosphere every year, for instance.

Without needing to 'kill off' people, that could be managed within a couple of generations (say 50-60 years) by having a policy of 'one child per woman'.

Yes, there would be disruption for a short period, but that would be offset by reduced need of forever-expanding exploitation of the Earth.

But of course, that's all a pipe dream. Humans will never allow that to happen, as they breed themselves to oblivion. No way will Humans last even a tenth as long as the Dinosaurs did.

I don't think you quite understand what Apple is doing.

This is absolutely going to lead to deeper use of this kind of anti-encryption tech. third party doctrine loophole to the 4th amendment -- pretty soon every document on your PC will be crosschecked for a litany of things the government deems illegal.

Again, once again, over again, yet again, one more time, you have another of the alarmist, angst, anxiety statements with no science support -- all the attempts at science to support such statements have no predictive value and, thus, are not science. I gave a link to solid evidence of the lack of predictive value.

And the doomsday predictions such as your "it'll already be 20-30 years too late" are irrational, irresponsible, dangerous, destructive guesses that stand to do serious damage to our economy, hurt billions of people, and make a few people rich. It's a flim-flam, fraud, scam. We need to grow up, be adults, and not fall for such a brain-dead scam.

The potential damage to the economy is obvious and solid; that we are doing or even can do anything significant to the temperature, climate, sea level, etc. is just wild, irresponsible, dangerous, destructive guessing, shooting ourselves in our guts for no good reason.

Again, no credible evidence. Loss of credibility from alarmist predictions that didn't come true. No science with predictive value, that is, no science at all.
My first thought is "How absurd! They're not alike at all!"

My second thought is "What nuance is the news story missing?"

At the fall of the iron curtain we learned that the system you are nostalgically venerating was so thoroughly and systemically compromised by the soviets as to make those marines little more than little girls wielding daisies. The Roderick James Ramsay conviction is a good example where the breadth and depth of the penetration was so bad that we didn't even try to really get to the bottom of any of it to avoid embarrassment and political fallout.

By way of example, Rod was able to facilitate hardware level duplication (and could have easily performed neutralization though he did not) of the Permissive Action Link nuclear keys in the active german theatre which were also in locked safes on one of the largest US bases in the world behind many, many layers of armed soldiers.
Why didn't apple just add option in screen time to block all images in iMessage?, that would have let parents choose what's best for their kids?
> sounds like they're moving the scanning from server to client side, the concerns about false positives seem valid to me but I'm not sure the chance of one occurring has increased over the existing icloud scanning.

That's the irony in this: This move arguably improves privacy by removing the requirement that images be decrypted on the server to run a check against the NCMEC database. While iCloud Photo Library is of course not E2E, in theory images should no longer have to be decrypted anywhere other than on the client under normal circumstances.

And yet – by moving the check to the client, something that was once a clear distinction has been blurred. I entirely understand (and share) the discomfort around what is essentially a surveillance technology now running on hardware I own rather than on a server I connect to, even if it's the exact same software doing the exact same thing.

Objectively, I see the advantage to Apple's client-side approach. Subjectively, I'm not so sure.

I had a phone screen shortly before the pandemic where I emphasized that I liked understanding and solving problems for people and didn't care what specific technology I used.

I got feedback from the recruiter that the company passed on me because I was not technical enough. They literally had asked me zero technical questions.

Not too long after, the company was in the news for a massive data breach.
This is superficially correct, also completely disingenuous.

The reason why there isn't a huge consumer market for indigenous languages is because they're overwhelmingly systematically unsupported by their respective governments in favor of the non-indigenous colonial languages.

To be clear, that's not Mozilla's fault, and not something they or other random organizations can fix, but as human beings we should all be happy and give credit to those organizations that do their small part.
Yes, if you act as the police you are a vigilante.
>I don't trust the official CPI numbers and don't see them as accurately reflecting my cost of living increases over the years.

What makes you think a NGO would do a better job? On one hand they might not have the same incentive to manipulate the numbers in the same way that the government would, but that would be replaced with an incentive to come up with whatever numbers that their donor base would like to see (see also: media companies adjusting their coverage to retain subscribers).

>If you look at the constituents [0], housing, education and health care make up around 60%, so it makes no sense that inflation has been flat for the last ten years.

Are you missing a part of your argument here? You just say that a few categories make up 60% of the CPI, then immediately conclude that "it makes no sense that inflation has been flat".

>The prices would ideally come from a large number of sources and some averaging would take place.

The problem is that you need to do various subjective adjustments (eg. the controversial "hedonistic adjustments") for the numbers to make sense.
The current video bios’s have x86 assembly in them making them not compatible. Work would need to be done here first. Historically, GPU’s released for Mac’s have had their own bios anyway (EFI support).

Then Apple will need to include drivers for the card in the OS (AMD drivers in MacOS typically lag 9 months from availability of the card for Windows) or alternatively NVIDA would need to write new drivers that Apple approves of, instead of shipping the same binary blob to all three platforms (the NVIDIA drivers were very buggy on MacOS).

Will Apple and AMD / NVIDIA strike up a partnership to do this? Not sure why they would.

I expect NVIDIA to have ARM friendly GPU’s on Windows before AMD though, given their interest in the space & SOC’a they make.

It will be interesting to see if in PC / ARM land if standards arise for motherboards, plug and play components, or if we will only ever sell & buy completely integrated systems.
I think everyone is offended on scanning being done on device and not on their servers (which I had assumed they might already did, quite frankly, Google Photos and others already do), and selling that as being privacy forward.

Considering they hold the keys and the scheme already allows them to decrypt as a last step the users photos, this is not exactly a progress. It just maintains the illusion that those backups are encrypted while they (ultimately) aren't.

I've personally (and some may disagree) always assumed that anything you put in any cloud (and that includes the very convenient iCloud backups that I use) is fair game for local authorities, whether that's true in practice or not.

Putting a "snitch" on device, even if it's only for content that's going to the cloud (and in the case of an iCloud backup, doesn't that mean all your iPhone content ?) is the part that goes a step too far and will lead to laws in other countries asking for even more.

Once you've opened the door to on device scanning, why limit it to data that goes to iCloud ? Why limit it to photos ? They proved they have the "tech" and governments around the world will ask for it to be bent to their needs.

I'm sure the intent was well meaning but I'd much rather they just do this on their premises and not try to pretend they do this for privacy.
When I thought that Tim Cook really respected everyone’s privacy sincerely.

Back in one of my first mom-and-pop ISP jobs, my boss was interested enough in exotic hardware that he decided to buy a Sun Microelectronics motherboard with an Ultrasparc IIi CPU. We were able to put it in a large form factor ATX case, find a compatible video card and Ultra2 SCSI drives and install Solaris 2.7 (or 2.8?) on it. We later deployed it as an LDAP and MySQL server amongst other things. It was a real eye opener for me having come from the world of Windows/Linux on x86.

Later he bought a bunch of DEC Alpha motherboards and CPU's as well, I had fun installing Debian and compiling pre-1.0 versions of Gnome for them. These experiences made me far more comfortable with non-x86 systems and I'm grateful for that exposure more than 20 years later.
I'm predicting first-party only. It simplifies the graphics stack and scaling up the GPU shouldn't be too difficult.
Interesting, but what would you expect the unflavoured version to be. Oats have a quite distinct taste. Or do you mean less sweet?

Anyway, thanks for your perspective. Don't you think the packaging is quite different though?

Oatly is quite bold, uses a unique style and using 'Original' on their packaging.

PureOatly packaging looks quite generic - a 'cheaper' design quality so to speak.

I was answering this: “Is the comparison done in my phone against a downloaded database, or is a hash of every image on my phone uploaded for comparison on a server?”

To be clear each image, the image’s NeuralHash, and a visual derivative are uploaded to iPhoto. This allows for the inspection of the NeuralHash algorithm used which I actually prefer.

The phone isn’t downloading the hash database.
At least one of these two things must be true: either Apple is going to upload hashes of every image on your device to someone else's server, or the database of hashes will be available somehow to your device.
Various copyright enforcement lobbies are all furiously drafting letters right now.
>Realistically, am I ever going to want to use a manual focus lens again? Likely not, and my assumption is that this probably applies to most people.

Manual focus lenses are popular again thanks to some updates with digital technology. You can have the plane of focus highlighted in color show up on the screen in many cameras. If your subject is in focus they will appear fringed in some color like red. For mirrorless cameras you can see the plane right in the eyepiece, and can hit a button and zoom in at the focal point to confirm you are hitting your subjects eye rather than their nose.
You are being overly pedantic. Country is not a strictly defined term. Sometimes it is used as you imply here as sovereign states which Greenland is not, but often it is used for other political entities as well. E.g. you often hear people speak of Puerto Rico as a country, and you also hear people from the UK pride them self that they are a country of countries (the former singular “country” meaning sovereign states, and the latter plural “countries” something else).

If the UK is a country of countries then Greenland is most certainly an autonomous country. The Wikipedia article for Greenland has the word “country” mentioned 14 times, so I’m certainly not the only using the term this way.
Yes, using cryptographic hashes prevents them from fuzzy matching and the algorithms that allow for efficient matching and fuzzy matching require comparing the bare hashes.
Looking at Keycloak as a SAML2 provider to get a beyondcorp-ish setup to enable remote work without VPN. Every employee gets a yubikey, and all web assets are protected by a reverse proxy which checks the yubikey via webauthn, authorizes the request with a KeyCloak SAML IdP which would authenticate/authorize the user against the company Active Directory.

Assuming you now require that you deploy a solution which is free of SAML2, what do you deploy instead?
Since I switched to Firefox I have to restart it every 3 days as it gets slow. All debugging suggestions start with "disable all plugins." But this is not practical. We practically live in our browsers nowadays. Without my ad blocker, password manager, and grammar checker I will be severely handicaped. I wish there is a way to debug the situation without resorting to disabling plugins. Perhaps have access to some per-plugin metrics.
That neat message passing design is also what made memory protection impossible, even on later versions of the OS. Sending a message from one task to another was really just sending a pointer, giving the receiver permission to use some of the sending task's memory temporarily. That's why it was so fast. Nothing was actually being sent. Still, it was cool stuff.
"Reports from commenters" = unsubstantiated speculation. Weird how no one was able to specifically state any information about these unobjectionable photos except for a theoretical mechanism for them to find their way into the database.

My main point was about Vincent Chin and yet a passing mention of Chauvin has triggered some culture war rant about police violence, completely missing the point. You're moving the goalposts by including statistics on all police shootings justified or not instead of examining actually egregious cases where the shooting clearly wasn't justified.

> Blacks were significantly more likely to have a deadly weapon than a white suspect. Yet more white suspects were killed.

More white suspects were killed because there's more than 4 times as many whites. Ang again the data is on all shootings and not just cases of unjustified shootings. The data on whether or not the people they shoot is self reported, and if you watch any of the bodycam footage you can clearly see that many of these "armed" suspects weren't armed at all and had dropped their guns and had their hands up when they were shot[0][1].

Even if you bring up that the predominantly white police also happen to kill white civilians it doesn't change the fact that they're still getting away with murder unless rioting happens. White police getting away with murdering whire civilians is still wrong.

> So despite being 13% population, in 2016 blacks committed 53% of murders, 54% robberies, 43% weapons offences, 38% of all violent crimes.

38% of all violent crimes that were caught. They're caught more because they're more heavily policed. I've worked in security before. 90% of the time if a guy pulls out a knife or gets violent he's white. And this was a city with a relatively low white population too. And no, showing that the data also shows whites committing more crimes in other areas does not mean it isn't biased. You're assuming that the data is biased because of intentional malice when it's sampling error. Whether or not violent crime is caught depends on how heavily a specific community is physically patrolled but crimes like sex assault and drug don't.

Citing self reported "threat perception failures" from the police of one specific city doesn't reliably say anything about who's shooting who. Are black police more likely to shoot unarmed blacks or are they just less likely to lie about the suspect being armed?

> white "liberal saviors"

I'm not white and I'm not a "liberal". Hispanic and Black people wanting more police is completely irrelevant to me. You also cherry-picked your data when in your own source it shows a higher percentage of Hispanic and Black people wanting fewer police than whites.

None of this tangent about police violence will change the fact that Vincent Chin's murderer is alive and was not given any jail time by a white jury. Two white men commited a hate based murder and are walking free to this day.

Well, it goes both ways, depending on circumstances and resources.

The US legal system is a commercial system. By that, I don't mean to say it is corrupt. Rather, the participants in the system require representation i.e. lawyers, and lawyers charge for their time, by design. Consequently, access to outcomes of the legal system is a function of the financial and social resources of the participants.
It will take a matter of days for other parties including copyright holders, if they have not already, to get in on this action. The infrastructure will then be compromised by human int so that it can be used to intelligence agencies to find people hitting red flag words like snowden and wikileaks. But lets be real for a moment that anyone who thinks apple cares about security or privacy over profits is in some way kidding themselves.
I'll start off with saying: Good luck to anyone trying to create a truly comprehensive historical price database.

Take these examples:

- The housing market is extremely diverse in certain countries, where some cities have experience price increases the past decades, some have been stagnating, and some have seen price decreases.

- Same goes for salaries. In extremely centralized cities, there's likely been above inflation rise, while in extremely decentralized cities, salaries have been stagnating, sometimes just standing still.

- Fuel prices can depend on local policies and taxation laws.

- Foods etc. can depend on how far away the places are in the logistical chain, how many competitors there are in the area, how the stores and chains are organized, etc.

- Travel (airfare, trains, etc.) can depend on location. Some larger hubs have experienced airfare that's become cheaper and cheaper with years, while rural places have seen the same going up.

Just in my country (Norway), there are hundreds of towns and villages with prices that are all over the place, and you'd need to scrape thousands of websites. Some of the data would be more or less impossible to get, due to the data never being digitized to begin with.

Of course, I would love to have such a database ready. I'd love to be able to run a query on my home town, and see what the prices for top 10 items were, say, 45 years ago. And compare that to the national inflation, as well as local prices of the more expensive cities.

So I think that whomever is going to work on this, probably just need to take the very rough and general (historical) inflation rates, which most government websites offer. To make a DB which accounts for all the micro- and macro changes would just be too consuming for any small team. You'd basically need a Wikipedia-esque team of individual contributors to cover all the prices.
I agree with you, but want to point out that those numbers come from a law firm that specializes in this, from a lawyer who is quoted whenever the story comes up.
Brutish/opportunistic way out: Be physically large. I don't mean to sound like some kind of Chuck Norris badass — because I am absolutely not — but when I stood up after being similarly challenged the game changed.

If dairy products get more expensive, people will just switch to eating more meat. People outside of subsistence economies choose food on desires more than on price. I suspect far less negative environmental externality than you think.

TL;DR If bacon costs the same as cheese, might as well get bacon.
How is Quora still a thing? Who in the target audience hasn't moved on to Medium, LinkedIn or Twitter?
Right, but it’s not completely linear either. There are tipping points, such as a collapse of the arctic ice sheets, savannaization of the Amazon, arctic methane release, which could kick off their own positive feedback loops that cannot be stopped by humans.

Certainly we can do things after that point, but we’ll see much more diminishing returns.
