On most hardware, the closed source components come pre-installed. Just walk into any store and find a phone with a verifiable open source distro.

The real problem is that most people don't have the knowledge to compile a distro and load it onto a phone. Most people don't even know that's a possibility or that the distro on their phone isn't open source.
The EV market is about 2% of car sales in the US. I doubt that we would be right to predict double-digit growth happening suddenly.

A Ford F150 (the most popular pick-up truck) weighs about the same as the Tesla Model 3. The top-selling vehicles in the US are all pick-up trucks.

The Toyota Camry (a popular sedan) weighs about the same as the Nissan LEAF. The Prius Prime is also in this weight range.

A Honda Fit (a popular small car) weight about the same as a Smart EQ. Small cars are not what US consumers are choosing.

Your argument is a hypothetical projection of Tesla-class EVs into a very large market-share. In reality, consumers are choosing larger, heavier ICE vehicles.
This is so great for those who is afraid to go beyond their comfort zone! The social adaptation is one of the most important living skill, which affects one's quality of life.

> we know adversarial images could be created that will trick the system

It could maybe be used to perform a kind of DDoS attack on the human verification stage by increasing false-positives, but I doubt a non-child-porn image would fool a human into thinking it looks like child porn just because of some carefully-applied noise.

Also, in what conceivable way is this like Minority Report, ie three psychic humans, floating in a pond, hallucinating the future?
It does not seem to be scanning phones, but stuff uploaded to iCloud, which is completely different. The article gives the idea that your device will be scanned.

There’s the whole NSO Pegasus that answers for how regarding remotely. However social engineering is also possible. Drunk out in town makes an easy target for a skilled social engineer.

All in all - it’s very possible.
I don't buy the equivalence here. Notice that while the author was blackballed by an arse-covering bank, they weren't actually arrested for sanctions-busting. This is broadly because you need a bit more than "appears to match entry in database" before you get to probable cause for an arrest.

I've seen clips of this before but the full documentary-style video features in this from a blog I follow.

"Footage also shows officers struggling to maintain order in their unit while conducting manoeuvres while others were found climbing trees and frolicking around in the woods.

“With one man climbing a tree to feed the birds,” the narrator says, “the troop commander gave up, admitting he could no longer control himself or his men.”

"At one point, a Royal Marine is taken away by nurses after suffering from side effects and nausea."

Yikes. Apparently some of the squaddies that took part in this had issues and were paid out compensation not too long ago.
> Also your links say that Google and Microsoft scan e-mails on the cloud. Not phone storage as in Apple's case.

Another confirmation that Google and MS have access to the data you store in the cloud and Apple does not. It's very unfortunate that scanning this locally is viewed as a negative in stead of a positive.
Nobody is forcing people to change their gender or brainwashing children with homosexual propaganda. You should examine your biases.
> I do wish the author kept it all with XML instead of doing some JSON conversion and then disclaiming it every time. I wish they used real, accurate, examples.

I wasn't sure what the point of that was either. I found that confusing and it seemed to detract from the strengths of the article.
If they only care about their servers why are they installing it client side. There is clearly more to it than that.
> the hash database on your device

Is there one? Reading a BBC News story on this, it sounds like checking is done when you try to upload an image to iCloud, so it's on the server.
Not as quickly as the Teslas, but my 21K mile LEAF is due for front tires soon. That’s significantly sooner than OE tires on a typical competitive car.
It is time to give up mobile phones. The human race is simply too immature to provide such a technology without mass abuse, corruption, and generation of misery at scale. Seriously, how many spam calls a day to you receive? Do you even bother to answer calls from unknown numbers? How's about your text experience, do you receive a lot of unsolicited text spam? They telecommunication companies are flawed to the core and are not addressing these core issues at all. Their product is a crime engine masquerading as a communications device.
Mentors and colleagues that are smarter than you, have higher standards than you or both. When working closely with people who can push and challenge me I learn mode and evolve faster.
Be technically fearless. Have the attitude that there isn't anything I can't build. If I'm not familiar with the topic, I'll learn it. And deliver. This confidence comes from experience, and a strong understanding of fundamentals.

The above provides technical credibility, which is immensely helpful for organizational politics. People listen, and respect your opinion if you're capable and deliver. Learning how to communicate, lead, and navigate people is much easier once you're technically credible in this field.
Furthermore, financial penalties on late delivery are not uncommon in enterprise business-to-business settings. These penalties are sometimes quite steep

If the choice is between releasing kinda-working, but unpolished software, or throwing a developer's monthly labor cost out of the window every single day, these management anti-patterns suddenly make much more sense
> Everyone has dry spells, sometimes even quite extended ones. That's perfectly normal until you start adopting this as part of your personality and taking this frustration out on the world around you.

I think you underestimate the difference between having a dry spell and never having had any relationship ever when you're in your 20s, and the mental toll of the second situation. For sure it's a really bad idea to direct that frustration to other people, but the frustration is here and is very real. It's a bit like the difference between a period of low mood and depression. These people are not mentally healthy and need help.
That seems in-line with providing a reddit-like experience.
Mark Zuckerberg's Brutal Prank on Sequoia
>"Before an image is stored in iCloud Photos, an on-device matching process is performed for that image against the known CSAM hashes," Apple said.

It is scanning phones, but only files that are about to, but haven't yet, be uploaded to iCloud. That scan is happening on the phone itself.
The change is scheduled to ship with an OS update (iOS 15): https://www.macrumors.com/2021/08/05/apple-new-child-safety-...

Nothing technical prevents them from putting something in ring zero which does silent updates without announcing them, but that's not what's happening here.
because we’re not discussing hypotheticals, but real life.

and in real life governments elected by the people have been pushing for this for years. the result has been google and all the other cloud providers already implementing this. apple was the last big one to hold out.

will they expand this in the future? sure, whatever. the system is so broken, and i’m so powerless, that at this point in time it doesn’t matter what i want.

at least it will only apply to the US. the ROW is spared. at least for now.
>>Before an image is stored onto iCloud Photos, the technology will search for matches of already known CSAM. Apple said that if a match is found a human reviewer will then assess and report the user to law enforcement.

> The issue here has nothing to do with children, they would always use 'children' as excuse. The issue here is installation of Spyware Engine.

I’m always surprised when people say things like this.

As if we haven’t been carrying around highly capable “Spyware Engines” this whole time.

Apple doesn’t need the cover of stamping out child porn to spy on you. They can do it just fine, if they want to, without it.
My question to Apple … why now? If this heinous problem has existed, why didn’t it get priority over Animoji?

Did China tell Apple, hey we want to spy on our citizens and if you don’t help us you need to get the fuck out of China? So they create this “think of the children” solution for the USA but can easily swap it out for another thing a government considers a nuisance?
It's not a bad trick, as it presents you the UI. It will take you a bit to actually respond to the change of the window opening and moving your mouse or whatnot to do whatever you want to do, and this "human delay" time can be used for Firefox to load fully.

Slash screens, on the other hand, are basically just useless and don't add anything beyond an indication of "the app is loading", but the hourglass mouse cursor (or whatever it is on Windows these days) tells you that already.
I'd like it to use Julia much more than either R or Python, tbh.

In the same way neural nets can be fooled into identifying images wrongly, I think nerd brains can be fooled into making false comparisons between non-comparable scenarios, especially as soon as "privacy" is involved.
Fed's Waller: CBDC 'solution in search of a problem'
Which, it must be said, isn't always as bullet-proof as it could be. There's a not insignificant amount of transcription (or pronunciation) errors in those datasets and Mozilla might want to find ways to increase the quality of already-released data over time.
You've been in business 4 years, and it's never occurred to you to look into alternate payment processing? Surely you saw there was a risk of this?

i fear more governments will take this position now that the big ones managed to push it thru.
There are also many more legitimate studies (and decades of experience) showing that submarine crews working at an order of magnitude or more of CO2 concentrations experience no cognitive effects.

It’s very likely the study you linked is flawed or there is a confounder.
They mean monetise Thunderbird and then use that money for other things. That’s the difference. A charity cannot do that by law.
It also keeps yammering on and on about new versions and required updates. Just that is reason enough to get rid of it.
This is sound advice. But I would suggest that you choose words for which you can find some mnemonic to remember them, e.g. by combining them in a nonsensical sentence.

I don't think GP missed that point, and it seems like you missed theirs. Having illegal CSAM and molesting children are two different crimes.
As an end-user who's barely involved in packaging anything, i strongly disagree with your point. On free systems, installing a package can either be super easy (apt install from official repos) or harder and you have to read instructions.

It is harder to install software that has not been reviewed/vetted (yet) and as a user i believe that's a very good thing. That's the only reason out of the many non-technical GNU/Linux users i know, i've never even once seen a virus like i have seen the same people get on Windows/Mac.

"Download & run" untrusted code from the Internet is very much an anti-pattern for security. I'm really glad AppImage exists for some usecases (as it does support PGP signatures for releases), but i'm really glad it's not the go-to method for releasing software.

Also worth noting, there's exactly one reasonably-secure alternative to distro packages, and that's GNU/guix, another distro inspired by nix but with much higher security standards (bootstrappability, "channel introductions", etc). Maybe some day our distros will be packaged with GNU/guix and a GNOME Software (or equivalent) backend for graphical usage?
> I hope they recant

This is very much like driving a car through a crowd of protestors. They will slowly, inexorably, eventually push through.
This came up a few days ago as well, I and many other people have zero problems with YouTube on Firefox. So dunno why some people report that it's atrociously slow.
Exactly, only "private" cloud data will be scanned instead, which is industry-standard practice for any self-respecting cloud provider anyway. It's a wonder how Apple wasn't doing it already.

In any case, this will be automated, rather than some poor Tier-1 pouring over iCloud Photos.

So only the guilty (and the false positives) would worry.
London for 20 years then "oop north" for 20 years, so I know what you mean. Talking to strangers is more natural up here for sure, although there is still a wall of "why is this person talking to me?" to break through at the start of any conversation. I think maybe the accent breaks through a lot of barriers in the US.
Bingo. We've all be had. Keep eating the patented Plant Burger and all will be ok. It's your personal responsibility to save the world. Pay no attention to the world spanning business empires and world governments that are 40 times the size of the largest companies. You should be personally ashamed of that plastic cup, you made the invisible hand of the market use up all the tight oil resources of the planet.
Remember when Apple punted privacy as their strength? In a closed proprietary system, it's always just a promise. It's the same story then as it is now. Never trust a company promising you privacy. If you can't verify your privacy, consider it absent.
Worth pointing out that bubble.io has different tiers. So, while this app is obviously overloaded, you have the (somewhat expensive) option of adding dedicated hardware to your server pool.
The smart home is flailing as a concept
Thunderbird is such a great program. Ever since I gave up Mutt as my default email program, I've been using all the time.

One of the richest guys on the planet (Zuckerberg) was using Thinderbird in a photo some time ago I think. Perhaps if he reads HN; they can get an infinite lifeline.
I'm quite surprised that Bubble doesn't handle high traffic for you (no posts are loading for me and the site took ages to render anything), because I can't imagine that's something you can sort of plug in yourself somehow. Fair enough if they didn't actually intend for you to deploy or market your app and it was just an excellent prototyping tool, but their website does say "empowering entrepreneurs to build production-ready web apps." Surely you have to do something to help people's production ready apps serve production traffic if you're in this space.

I guess it's to do with their pricing tier. At $115/mo you get "3 units of server capacity", I assume you get 1 below that since they don't say. So the free tier has Bubble branding and insufficient hardware for the apps you can build, which seems a bit of an awkward marketing situation I guess.

To be fair their "Production" tier at $475/mo has "10 units of server capacity". So maybe they do empower entrepeneurs who want to spend $475/mo on hosting to build production-ready web apps. Which is certainly cheaper than a dev team if their code and 10x server capacity works for most apps.
I have been using Sailfish OS since its launch in 2013 and it works fine, even for regular users (if you install it for them).

I have recently installed it on the Xperia 10 II you mention as well use a couple Xperia X devices in the family. Use the Jolla 1 & Jolla C before back when Jolla still manufactured their own devices.

Frankly, before some of the PinePhone distro mature, this is the only really usable Linux distro based independent mobile OS. And it has been available for years, yet people don't seem to be aware of it or seem to ignore it for some reason.

And if you have any questions about Sailfish OS, fire away! :)

Our two cars are a 2015 LEAF and a 2005 CR-V. These aren’t directly competitive cars IMO. The CR-V has much more interior and cargo space, obviously longer range, and better winter road performance.

The LEAF is more directly comparable to a Nissan Versa in size and capability (3500# vs 2500# curb weight).
We have had to remind (older) family members at times to not send pictures of their young children/relatives if the pictures have any nudity or could possibly be considered suggestive.

Even if not illegal in any way, it’s one of those things where even an accusation can be seriously damaging. The prospect of your phone continually scanning your photos will make that even worse.
This was a huge PITA in Hungary too, until they had to display unit price on each price tag. I'm thankful for that every time I shop.

You'd expect a little more sympathy towards conspiracy theorists from a whistleblower who literally unveiled a huge conspiracy.

Conspiracies are only limited by incentives and the ability of the planners of the conspiracy to recruit willing co-conspirators.

Minewhile the term conspiracy theory had morphed from a term describing an unfeasible collaboration, into whatever the mainstream media decides is a conspiracy.

Even the suggestion the covid virus escaped by a mistake from a lab, a theory that doesn't suggest even a single person acting maliciously, (or requires collaboration for anything other than a cover up by a regime which is known for its cover ups), is called a conspiracy theory.

If you want to discuss a conspiracy theory, you need to discuss how likely it is that the required collaboration formed. If it requires collaboration of innocent people with no interests in the conspiracy, like most conspiracy theories, you can dismiss it.

If it required collaboration of small amounts of people with aligning interests, and their actions could be carried in secret, you can't dismiss it just because it's a conspiracy.

I was using Tantan last year, a Chinese dating app. I tried to send a woman I was flirting with a message like “that pic of you is sexy”, and the app warned me against using vulgar language.

I can’t say sexy. In a dating app. With a woman I matched with. What am I supposed to do? Say she’s doing a great job of maximizing her gene pool’s potential for aesthetic presentation in the context of a romantic setting?
The gas flame is as big as your burner is, there is a lot of variation there that has to do with the physical characteristics of the burner and gas line pressure.

An induction burner will be limited to about 1.5 kW if it's a portable unit and maybe 2.5 kW on a built-in range.

A gas range will usually have a high rating of 15-20,000 BTU/h which works out to ~4.5-6 kW.

But thermal transfer efficiency is different, they both depend on the size of the pan, the material, shape, etc.

Stick a needle into a 3000F flame and it will be red hot in a second. A thin smallish pan can get super hot. You can't just have a "max temp" rating. However induction ranges will have some thermal protection for their insides.

If you spill something, the flames will also burn what you spilled.
Well the article talks about examples of 'destroying value' being projects that failed to go live, which would be 'value not created' to your point (it's not my choice of language, I was just following the article!). If it invalidates my argument I assume it invalidates the article too.

Early-warning signals for a collapse of The Atlantic Circulation
You're not wrong, but with so many chips incorporating some sort of dedicated "AI" or "tensor" functionality, perhaps the issue will resolve itself for most portable devices in a few years. Plus there's always the option of optimizing a little more and/or abusing other available hardware such as DSP chips to get the real time factor down. Anything over 1 isn't great, but it's not a bad start.
