> Apple has already been doing exactly this for years.

Is that an assumption made based on that "everyone is doing it" or is there some evidence?

> Apple makes the OS and doesn't need a fancy system to scan all the files on the device if that's what they want to do.

If the goal is to scan all the files on everyones device this system is exactly what they need. It's not like they could upload hashes of every file on every users phone continuously.
Are you saying that the phrasing is incorrect? Medieval times is some period and there's periods before and after that. I don't see what you're saying.
So, only 0,44 % is correct, no?

The others don't notice anything, so that's not "a big portion" at all.

If it was a high % they would be tested by default. Eg. Like the heart is tested when you do sports ( eg. Soccer) on a competitive level.

People who suddenly train intense are always suggested to see a doctor if it's not too sudden and to have a check-up. The responsibility is to the person who is training intensely, not the one who is giving the exercises in a certain niche.

There are _tons_ of self-hosted image organizers. Most are abandoned or cancelled after a year or two either when the VC money runs out, or the open source developer grows weary of toxic users. Most are fine with managing a hundred or even a couple thousand images, but then crap out with larger libraries. I couldn't find one that would clean up the mess I had from crashed or cancelled software that squirreled originals into proprietary folder hierarchies, downsampled originals and deleted chunks of metadata, with dupes strewn everywhere, so I built it.

PhotoStructure runs on macOS, Windows, Linux, and docker. PhotoStructure libraries are portable across OSes and machines, and optionally stores your originals in a configurable datestamped folder hierarchy. It has excellent image and video deduplication and robust metadata extraction (because my own library need it), and a friendly web-based, mobile-friendly UI. The beta is free to try in exchange for your feedback!

Verifiably? Are people still swapping ROMs on XDA developers like its 1990? Are folks still having to dump binary blobs from devices to get the things to work with non-stock ROMs? Are some people still relying on jailbreaking tools they have to “just trust”? Does the modem on all these SOCs still run it’s own network facing machine with full RAM access?

Things might be better, but it’s not all roses.

> but every crypto thread is full of crypto holders who want to believe it’s true.

It's because they want their crypto holdings to go to the moon. HODLing works if you got in early which in the case of BTC when it was around <$9 - $500 with more than 50,000x returns. Right now? It does not.

They do not know how to trade it and take profit, so they just hold it all the way up and never take it out; even if it crashes back down, which you can buy it back at a lower price.

> It’s also silly to watch the proliferation of ever-increasing numbers of crypto currencies and crypto assets being generated out of thin air being willfully ignored in the money printing conversations.

Yes. Everyday there are new worthless tokens and coins being generated and listed on lesser known exchanges and NFTs being minted it out of thin air. Almost all of them have no use case or reason to exist other than having the creator dumping their creation onto the retail crypto holder. Thanks to cointool [0], now anyone can create and list their own ERC-20 scam coin and anyone can create a .PNG, .JPG NFT and mint it out of thin air.

> Do people really not understand that crypto currencies are being printed and injected into the crypto ecosystem all the time?

They will find out the hard way. Some are doing this very quickly until a 2018 style crash will come due to more regulations or a full crackdown.

This wouldn't be a bad thing if the public transportation was also effective. It should be hellishly expensive to use a car in a big city. It just shouldn't destroy your ability to get to work if you don't have a car.

In my experience, NYC is the only city in the US that has made this work. The MTA is plagued with cost overruns and other problems, but you really can get places quickly using the subway.

Never had that issue with DP before. Never had it negotiate to a spec it couldn't transmit. Never had it drop out 30s in.

Don't see any difference. In both cases your private property forcibly accessed without any reason to suspect you, but rather out of preventive reasons.
Right, but the fallout that prevents you from installing it is an incidental consequence of Apple choosing not to promote it and Apple choosing to use it's monopoly on app distribution as an income channel.

Speech not happening because Apple didn't go out of it's way for it to create a route for it to happen without Apple being involved, isn't really that shocking or similar to Apple scanning private files. (Apple being allowed to prevent you from installing what you want on your phone is shocking from an anti-trust perspective, but not from a speech perspective).

Regardless of your feelings on Bellingcat, none of that changes the fact that, us (the community) having access to more information and more tools at our disposal to analyze this information is a far better outcome than governments locking it away.

It is quite literally—as the headline says, challenging the governments (and i’d toss in corporations as well) monopolies on certain types of information.

Even if you don’t personally like Bellingcat, feed us more information, not less. The more information we have access to, the more difficult it is for authoritarian governments to run propaganda against us.

Also, yeah, I think you may have been drastically understating when you mention mint being biased. There are surely sites which are critical of open source research institutes like Bellingcat that will have a far better track record than somewhere like mint who have had multiple bouts of absolutely bonkers and absurd propaganda for brutal dictators and brutal regimes. Of course they’re against OSINT.

We need far more open source intelligence research not less.
Hey, so this feedback is a bit leftfield but might be useful. On my home network I run pihole using some popular blocklists, and sdk.arengu.com is blocked in two of them, one of them since about 2 years ago. As a result the sign in example on the homepage didn't load initially. It looks like the required forms.js doesn't load.

Of course this is an edge case, your company can't reasonably be expected to cater for how people on the internet decide to filter content on their personal networks, and the majority of people won't run their own DNS servers & take the same slash and burn approach to whitelisting as I do, so I understand if it's seen as a non-issue or rare edge-case.

I'm guessing the SDK URL got flagged on the list because the form builder has been used by some websites for various marketing related purposes triggering a blacklist maintainer to blanket ban the URL (I've had to whitelist common things like cdnjs for similar reasons).

That's fine for marketing forms / flows, but I'm thinking since a website or application's login is more of a primary / critical feature it would make me think twice about using the service if I were designing an app aimed toward tech & privacy savvy developers.

As a workaround, does your service still work if developers decide to host the needed assets on their infrastructure or proxy them under their own DNS? Could be a way around it.

Anyway the feature looks interesting, login flows are far from trivial once you get into the area of social login, OTP, device authentication, 2FA etc. I'm hammering out the architecture of a SaaS service at the moment so I can appreciate the niche you're trying to hit, good luck with the launch and hopefully the above feedback is useful.
The problem is there are real costs:

- Politicians need to be willing to withstand accusations that they are allied with property developers who earn more than they spend.

- Politicians have to be willing to piss off people who support minimum parking requirements and other restrictions.

- Those same politicians have to be able to get re-elected.

- Large numbers of people have to credibly promise to volunteer and vote for a local politician who supports the walkable urban development policies alongside positions they disagree with.

An individual can want it, but it requires costly collective action to change. If just one person goes to a town council meeting and argues in favor of letting a housing developer build apartments near them, that will have little impact unless they also talk 2 other people into both taking similar action and recursively getting similar alignment.

The rate at which YIMBY activism spreads is too low.
You can see this in the south bay in an incredibly acute way.

Where are Google, Microsoft, and a bunch of other enormous campuses located? East of the 101. Where are all of the residential areas? West of the 101. Gazillions of commuters need to cross the 101 to get from their home to their office twice a day. This means that everything is limited by a few small overpasses that are crazy expensive to expand.

What if people could build apartments over there? Too bad. Not zoned for housing.
I am looking at Framework, but it still feels like a legacy tech. I have XPS 15 from 2019 and it feels slow and fans drive me crazy. I don't think Framework will be much different. I was looking at M1 for fanless experience and performance.

That's how density increases naturally due to market forces, but we are talking about enacting policy to directly spur increased density and what its effects will be.

I would expect the policy to create lots of value, but because of the way land ownership works, I would expect most, all, or more than all of that created value to accrue to the people who own the correct land. More importantly, I would expect it to bleed away from those who don't. Shops away from Main St would be screwed, while the new lovely walkable storefronts would have $5 coffee and $15 sandwiches and the apartments within walking distance would have $5000/mo rent. Those massive flows of money wouldn't go to shop owners or workers or maintaining the infrastructure (see: NY, SF), the money would go into the pocket of whoever owned the land, because our policy choices would have just gone towards ensuring that owning the correct land was all that mattered.

It just seems crazy to me how eager people are to build an economic steamroller and then throw themselves in front of it. Fight to commoditize your complement, don't fight to help your complement commoditize you!
There's room for $15 million movies because it's a relatively cheap gamble. They can risk releasing a few cheap movies a year, hoping that one becomes popular enough they can milk the IP dry. Or they find their next big actor/actress.

But past the cheap gamble phase, studios start doubling down and throw in big name actors, and start advertising the crap out of it, hoping to get people to watch it. There's no $25 million movies, because they end up $50 million movies.

I'd be interested to see how you draw this conclusion. I have been in the CalyxOS rooms for quite a long time and have never seen anything of the sort. In fact, when GrapheneOS is mentioned, users are told to change the topic.
Pedophiles in the know would presumably just have to disable iCloud sync, and the hash scan would never happen.
Government oversight isn't required at all or even desired in most cases.

Proof of Stake relies almost entirely on the internal game theory of the system and while external influence (such as some level of proof of authority via gov oversight or hybrid PoS/PoW) can be used as a crutch, they open the system up to a new set of vulnerabilities.

Additionally, while the bills are "just" changing the reporting requirements, those new requirements are incredibly vague and whether read in a narrow or a wide sense they impose such a significant reporting requirement that it would be anywhere from very difficult for an individual on their own to legitimately impossible even with unlimited funding and manpower. The reporting requirements would effectively impose KYC reporting on any validator (including full nodes) or software developer involved in a cryptocurrency ecosystem for all users of the ecosystem. This effectively prevents US validators or SW devs from even participating in the ecosystem outside of creating a completely siloed "US only" cryptocurrency ecosystem.

The originally proposed wording is bad, the Warner amendment is worse. The Wyden-Lummis-Toomey amendment is a reasonable compromise that provides some capacity for tax compliance oversight without burdening the entire ecosystem with reporting requirements that are mutually incompatible with 99% of networks.
Neural networks are generally assumed to be non-invertible functions. That said, something like an auto-encoder can learn to decode the encoded data back to its original form, with loss.

From what I’ve read, part of the magic here is that Apple’s perceptual hash is an exact hash. Meaning, you don’t have to do the Hamming distance thing.

> My condolences, you must have horribly unreliable user widget/user input libraries

The libraries seem pretty reliable; but I'm not (exactly the same as in the SQL example, BTW).

For example, I don't think I've ever managed to write a Python3 program which hasn't crashed at some point due to me mixing-up string/bytes; of course, testing doesn't usually find such problems, even with Hypothesis, since I make exactly the same mistakes when I'm writing the tests. I've also written a whole bunch of Python3 programs which spend ages crunching numbers, only to output '<map object at 0x10199c2e0>' instead of printing a list.

I make exactly the same mistakes when writing Haskell and Scala; but the computer tells me that I've made a mistake, and how to fix it, before the program ever gets a chance to run.

I'm happy to hear this statistic, but American cities need to change so much to make it happen - mainly removing cars as other commenters pointed out. A good start would be making public transportation more available through buses and trains, followed by limiting cars in already more walkable areas of the city.

Not Just Bikes is a great YouTube channel that explores city planning and often compares American cities to cities in the Netherlands. He has a video on Strong Towns as well.

True enough.

Do you mean it had much better aesthetics? Something can't be more aesthetic, that's like saying it's more temperature outside when you mean it's hotter.
Oh wow, this is more than a performance problem, this is a mitigation for a data security problem that only got introduced because trackers try to work around per-domain cookie isolation.
It's not that easy. For one there is a notable population which will complain and even for those who want to get rid of cars it is a long project: You need to change the city structure. If you have a resedential area without shops to run errands and no workplaces whatsoever people will need to travel long distances each time. Long travel time (whatever the means) means that you don't do grocery shopping for a day or two, but a week or two, which means you carry more and that's only viable by car.

Transforming city structure and society takes time.

Fire Eye Hacking Incident
Hi, everyone!

While getting to truth may be very helpful, most models just simulate observed facts and effects, to see if it is useful and can be validated. The point is not to predict, but to see how much variance different models can display, what one might learn from it and to evolve new models from that.

What is comfortable or not shouldn't be a factor. In fact most climate scientists would search for any and all redeeming factors. It is concerning how insignificant they all seem to be. Major contrary findings would make great news, get prizes and grants.

Timelines are indeed less useful and accurate, than levels of temperature and descriptions of accumulated and latent effects. Prediction is too hard and a sidetrack from all that is established peer-reviewed science so far.
