E. TAX & MILITARY OBLIGATIONS /NO ESCAPE FROM PROSECUTION

Persons who wish to renounce U.S. citizenship should be aware of the fact that renunciation of U.S. citizenship may have no effect on their U.S. tax or military service obligations (contact the Internal Revenue Service or U.S. Selective Service for more information). In addition, the act of renouncing U.S. citizenship does not allow persons to avoid possible prosecution for crimes which they may have committed or may commit in the future which violate United States law, or escape the repayment of financial obligations, including child support payments, previously incurred in the United States or incurred as United States citizens abroad.

I read that as saying "If you owe the IRS money already, renouncing your citizenship isn't going to get you out of paying it".

>So plan to become rich after renouncing (and without the IRS noticing).

Do you have any other sources that corroborate this? I've certainly never heard of the IRS coming after someone for money they've earned after renouncing citizenship, except perhaps in complex cases involving international companies.
I doubt this will be as clean. A large swath of people will defend this "for the children".
Agreed. The last and only time I saw a database corruption with PG was in 1999 and the culprit was a memory fault in a raid array.

Cross fingers now that my hubris does not come and bite me.
I'd go a step further and recommend https://grapheneos.org/ with a Pixel phone.
I understand that, but I'm not interested in writing everything by hand. I'd rather have tooling work for me instead, and verify correctness by reading the manual for this-or-that. It also helps my staff when I have a recommended tool for those less SQL inclined.
In some polls I've seen there's plurality support for "permanent 'summer time'". People don't seem to care much that noon in civil time maps exactly to the sun being at its peak.

Leap second drift is super slow, too -- IIRC something like 10 minutes per millennium. If we shift our clocks by an hour in the year 8000 I think that's less disruptive than leap seconds every year or so.
Servo was never meant to be a full engine replacement for mainline Firefox; whatever Rust code could be implemented/useful for Firefox was ported already.

However, regarding Servo specifically, there are contributions on their GitHub[1] and the stewardship of the project is now under the Linux Foundation[2].

oh that's actually kind of good news then. I couldn't believe Apple wouldn't know about the inadequacy of their PC

You helped your company by saving senior engineers' precious time.
Re-recording a clip is very rare for me. Keep in mind that it's supposed to emulate real-world conditions, with all its messiness.
If you're going to compare apples to apples, shouldn't you be contrasting the Republican party's response to that appointment, with the Democratic party's response to Cuomo?

I, uh, don't recall either Trump or Mitch McConnel demanding that Kavanaugh withdraw his bid. Both Biden and Pelosi, however, have called for Cuomo's resignation.

It's strange how the Republican party seems to be unwilling to hold itself to a much lower standard than what they demand from Democrats.
SF techies making 100k/year are not rich and definitely not the Germans making 40k. As long as there are no spontaneous hurricanes sucking Jeff Bezos' space rocket out of the sky, nothing will change.
It's not me who will decide, it will be your wallet.

> but that kind of authoritarian thinking will thankfully never be allowed to prevail in the United States.

That's a very funny statement.
>how come that "the device will not know whether a match has been found"

Probably using some sort of probabilistic query like a bloom filter.
Moral panics are nothing new, and have now graduated into the digital age. The last big one I remember was passage of the DMCA in 1999; it was just absolutely guaranteed to kill the Internet! And as per usual, the Chicken Littles the world were proven wrong. The sky will not fall in this case, either. Unfortunately civilization has produced such abundance and free time that outage viruses like this one will always circulate.
Has Matt redacted any of the FUD from his tweets last night which aren’t true given the published details from today? For example, his claim that the method is vulnerable to black box attacks from GANs isn’t applicable to the protocol because the attacker can’t access model outputs.

Furthermore, if “an easy to change implementation detail” in your threat model is anything which could be changed by iOS update, you should’ve stopped using iPhone about 14 years ago.
UE is source available but it is not open source. You owe royalties if your game makes over a million. It's a nice model though.

I am working on https://www.usertrack.net a self-hosted analytics platform. There is a link to a live demo on the website you can try and also a free trial that doesn't require any personal information.

Would love to hear any feedback regarding the platform, the landing page or the pricing strategy!
What's unique about it?

The incentive also seems backward here: if there's a shield protecting you even in case of screwup, you are incentivized to cover things up less than otherwise.

Protection from initial mistakes, like "blame free retros," is generally heralded as a way to promote fixing root causes and reduce political coverups.
Who could object to a measure to eliminate child pornography? Unless you're a fan of it, right? And so the precedent is set - and before you know it, they will be checking your phone for all sorts of things.
I used to be terrified of that as well, until meeting many former medical device engineers in the Denver area who got out for moral reasons. However shit you think the community code is, the official code is probably worse. Like kills people and hide behind lawyers already worse.

It's not uncommon for these engineers to have a 'if I am incapacitated, do not hook me up to these devices' card in their wallet like you'd normally see for alllergies for products they've worked on.
Where would you even get that much salt anyway? The ocean perhaps?
You need you some Postico*! Absolutely fantastic GUI for Mac.

Once you give them the power, they'll never willingly hand it back.
They haven’t enforced it yet (for the banks, for non-compliant Americans, they have). But they’ve signed treaties with many governments to allow this, and they threaten foreign banks with fines related to any US dealings.
It’s pretty trivial to iteratively construct an image that has the same hash as another, completely different image if you know what the hash should be.

All one needs to do, in order to flag someone or get them caught up in this system, is to gain access to this list of hashes and construct an image. This data is likely to be sought after as soon as this system is implemented, and it will only be a matter of time before a data breach exposes it.

Once that is done, the original premise and security model of the system will be completely eroded.

That said, if this does get implemented I will be getting rid of all my Apple devices. I’ve already switched to Linux on my development laptops. The older I get, the less value Apple products have to me. So it won’t be a big deal for me to cut them out completely.

> We drew the short straw on this one. Back in the 1918 pandemic, the flu evolved into a less-dangerous form. In this COVID19 situation, we got unlucky twice, and the virus evolved twice (first to Alpha, then again to Delta).

Wasn't the second wave of the 1918 pandemic the most deadly?[1] To be sure, the current flu variants are much less dangerous than anything from that time though.

Which OS is that on? Mine was on Linux, perhaps that makes a difference. Also I have a rather crappy cpu (i5-8250U); for you I still see the gaps even if they're smaller (both in absolute terms but if I'm seeing it correctly also in proportion to network loading time), so perhaps a faster cpu helps as well.
The scan doesn't detect child porn, it detects photos in the CSAM database. The two may or may not be same thing, now it in the future.
That sentence is wrong. It simply isn't accurate of the current system. It relies on future changes to the system, not just changes to a database.

The iMessage feature is not a database comparison system, it's to keep kids from getting/receiving nudes unexpectedly – and it works based on classifying those images.

I don't dispute this is a slippery slope - one could imagine that a government requires Apple to modify it's classification system. However, that would presumably require a software update since it happens on device.
I don't think the "right of way" for tunnels is as simple and easy as the author claims. Many land rights include the soil beneath the land. While tunnels could be built below existing Federal and State owned land, many of the problems outlined for railroads by the author would happen again with acquiring the land required for tunnels.

Many of the other points in the article seem glossed over and error prone as well (e.g., simplifying the comparison between trains and trucks efficiencies to a rolling resistance coefficient and ignoring the discrepancies in weight of the vehicle an all other efficiency factors).
They sort of have to, you can't selectively enforce trademarks like you can with other IP
So that says right in the abstract: “When vaccine resistance has evolved, these generalities have been violated.”

So as long as mutations like the epsilon variant don’t occur (they do right?) and as long as vaccines are prophylactic against infection (not the case given need for boosters is Israel, right?), there’s nothing to worry about? Sorry if I’m being dense.
NCMEC, not law enforcement, produces a list of embeddings of known images of child abuse. Facebook and Google run all photos uploaded to their platforms against this list. Those which match are manually reviewed and if confirmed to depict such scenes, are reported to CyberTip. If the list had a ton of false positives, you think they wouldn’t notice that their human reviewers were spending a lot of time looking at pictures of the sky?
> with icloud photos csam, it is also a horrifying precedent

I'm not so bugged by this. Uploading data to iCloud has always been a trade of convenience at the expense of privacy. Adding a client-side filter isn't great, but it's not categorically unprecedented--Apple executes search warrants against iCloud data--and can be turned off by turning off iCloud back-ups.

The scanning of childrens' iMessages, on the other hand, is a subversion of trust. Apple spent the last decade telling everyone their phones were secure. Creating this side channel opens up all kinds of problems. Having trouble as a controlling spouse? No problem--designate your partner as a child. Concerned your not-a-tech-whiz kid isn't adhering to your house's sexual mores? Solved. Bonus points if your kid's phone outs them as LGBT. To say nothing of most sexual abuse of minors happening at the hands of someone they trust. Will their phone, when they attempt to share evidence, tattle on them to their abuser?

Also, can't wait for Dads' photos of their kids landing them on a national kiddie porn watch list.
My exact thoughts, my wife and I have been fans of Oatly for a time. It's the only oat milk I've tried that tastes somewhat like cow's milk.

I always felt their branding and overall approach was on point which makes this quite out character and a total dick move on their part.
The 70% with one shot is weighted to areas like Northeast and hospitals filling up is in Southern US. Averaging those stats over the entire US misses that aspect.
Ask HN: Open Repository for Healthcare Data?
A while back I recall seeing an initiative on here about trying to make a repository of open-source healthcare data for the purposes of helping health related startups with data sets or sample HL7 data that is real or was real.

Did that go anywhere or does anyone have access to such data?
On the Canadian west coast, my brother works as a firefighter. Their schedule is 4 days of work. 2 day shifts followed by 2 night shifts. Day shifts are shorter than night shifts.

I believe it’s 10 hours for the first two days (you’re off in your own home in the evening). The next two nights are 14 hours, and the fire fighters are in bed if there is no calls. I think day shift is 7 am to 5 pm, and night shift is 5 pm to 7 am.

It’s amazing what type of hours Americans are doing.
Unless only the cockroaches survive.
I’d be interested to see what any Apple executives would respond to the concerns in interviews, but I don’t expect Apple to issue a press release on the concerns.
That sounds interesting, can you give more details about that?

I work on Vircadia (https://vircadia.com/) and have been thinking for a while that it would be cool to have in-world visualizations of things like the project's structure and github activity. It's a big one, so perhaps the right 3D representation would make the project's structure more understandable at a glance.
Energy and heat are very easy targets to replace with low emission energy sources, indeed far easier than transportation which is one of the few places where fossil fuels make sense because of their high energy density.

China has a higher percentage of its energy coming from low emission sources than the US and single handedly accounts for 45% of worldwide annual investment in renewables, 3 times that of the US.

Carbon taxes are not sin taxes meant to disincentivize carbon production, they are a means to pay for carbon capture. If you can't afford to store the carbon released from burning a ton of coal, you can't afford to burn that ton of coal. Of course any new tax is going to meet friction, but what is will if not the ability to overcome friction when necessary?

My comment was directed at the people who would say “don’t use apple” as if Android or any number of FOSS phone alternatives with 5 people maintaining them are more secure than IOS.
I do not think lifestyle is going to be the big culprit when looking back, but rather money. Nations prioritize costs over emissions when it comes to generating power. Most home owners prioritize short term costs over long term gains that comes with lower emissions. It not much of a lifestyle choice to burn coals for power or use inefficient heaters, but it is a economical choice.

My hope is not on the next generation to be less willing to sacrifice the environment for short term economical gain. If I got any hope left it will be that politicians figure out how to farm tax money by targeting those that pollute, knowing that they can do so safely because they got popular support.
They're also partly owned by the state-owned China Resources holdings company.

That said, I still buy their products regularly. And I'm proud they started in my home town.

It would be a shame if we had to start an investigation into your anti-competitive behavior...
Headline has been slightly altered (or A/B tested). The original headline is "Glebe Farm", rather than "British farm".

That original headline is also slightly misleading, since it's really "Glebe Farm Foods", which is a manufacturer as well as a grower. It's not an enormous corporation; I saw an estimate of its revenue at $7 million.

But this headline has already prompted one remark that suggested this was about the "milk" part. It's not. It's one manufacturer suing another over the name of their oat milk.
Yes, and tomatoes are "actually" fruits, and peanuts are "really" legumes and almond butter is "not really butter."

"Milk" is a fine term for any opaque liquid, white-ish in color. Especially when it substitutes well for cow's milk.

Coconut milk, rice milk, almond milk, oat milk, and soy milk are well established at this point.
This is a good point.

First - side point - I didn't indicate that people should be outputting 'maximum work quality effort'. Just 'Doing A Good Job'.

Second - more salient - yes, comp is a big factor, I understand that, but it's a little bit of a marginal issue among professionals.

For workers who can reasonably negotiate a salary beyond the prevailing labour wage, it should be assumed they have market value commensurate on some level with their value.

Corporations are not some vast powerful entities that absorb all the surpluses for their shareholders. It's risky for them.

I would argue that White Collar professionals are in fact absorbing most of the surpluses.

Google could lay off 1/2 it's staff and still make just as much money.

Your point becomes much more relevant when the power asymmetry is stark, when employees have no differentiable skills or power like Amazon employees.

For them, yes, it's a different discussion around regulations, unions etc. and only when those basics are satisfied would it be fair to implore workers to consistently 'Do A Good Job'. But for processionals, it should be a matter of very basic integrity.

Just FYI, the European Union made such projects illegal as of 26 May 2021. See Medical Devices Regulation (MDR) EU 2017/745: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELE...

Also, these projects were designed on purpose to circumvent or in some cases break the law, which is the wrong approach to medical device design. It's dangerous and designs kill, as you know.

See this stipulation (and control/command + f = "commercial" in paper):

27) ‘making available on the market’ means any supply of a device, other than an investigational device, for distribution, consumption or use on the Union market in the course of a commercial activity, whether in return for payment or free of charge;

Also:

46) ‘investigational device’ means a device that is assessed in a clinical investigation

Also:

1) ‘medical device’ means any instrument, apparatus, appliance, software, implant, reagent, material or other article intended by the manufacturer to be used, alone or in combination, for human beings for one or more of the following specific medical purposes:

— diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, prediction, prognosis, treatment or alleviation of disease,

Also:

(19) It is necessary to clarify that software in its own right, when specifically intended by the manufacturer to be used for one or more of the medical purposes set out in the definition of a medical device, qualifies as a medical device, while software for general purposes, even when used in a healthcare setting, or software intended for life-style and well-being purposes is not a medical device. The qualification of software, either as a device or an accessory, is independent of the software's location or the type of interconnection between the software and a device.

> they told the FBI to pound sand and made the hardware security features stronger so even Apple couldn't break them

You didn't really believe that cheesy open letter, did you? The real reason they declined was because FBI innocently said “We can't bother to transfer phones to Apple all the time, just give us the tool, we've seen how it's done enough times, and can use it just the same. Here's the official demand.” If Apple did that, the next day the tool would be leaked to multiple other agencies and actors, and on the day after any stand on any Chinese market would offer the iPhone unlock and reset for a small price. In other words, the shattering of the legend of privacy protection marketed so hard, and financial trouble. The FBI effectively demanded to hold one of the keys to Apple's power, and was found not significant enough to be esteemed.

Then they all pretended to have a legal fight to smokescreen the public. Apple itself said that it had always cooperated in doing the job on premises, and you can be pretty sure that every official case, semi-official case, and special case leaving no paper trail was routinely accepted. Apple was protecting its own secrets, not yours.
