Thats the first feature, the second is, from the article: “The other feature scans all iMessage images sent or received by child accounts—that is, accounts designated as owned by a minor—for sexually explicit material, and if the child is young enough, notifies the parent when these images are sent or received. This feature can be turned on or off by parents.”

I get the same kind of fascination reading those comment threads as one would get watching a train wreck. To multiple users telling them that their stuff is broken, they reply that this is their actual intent. The thought that maybe there might be a flaw in their design does not cross their minds an instant. "Am I out of touch? No, it is the users who are wrong."

I particularly love the suggestion to use https://ideas.mozilla.org/ to submit feedback, as if that change went through the same procedure, and as if they didn't moderate away any suggestion that they don't like.

And yet they still don't realize that this "we know better than the users what's good for them" attitude is killing their product.

> That’s why we named 1729.com after Ramanujan’s number. Ramanujan made great contributions to India and to mathematics around the world. He was particularly renowned for his contribution to number theory, which underpins cryptography and hence crypto. And he represented something I’ve been thinking about for many years, which is how to use technology to help the dark talent in India and around the world rise as Ramanujan did. Thus the fourth task is to help identify those people and places where the best is outside the West, where the ascending world is surpassing the declining world.

$100k for a dev in India, Ukraine, or Venezuela, is more than enough incentive.
I implemented a SAML IdP from the spec and it wasn't too difficult to get through (I implemented everything including the XML parser, XML DS (Digital Signature), XML C14N (Canonicalization), RSA implementation). I did take some shortcuts in the IdP part which just needs to produce but not validate XML DS (unless you're supporting signed requests).

At this point, I think phones can be compared to a home in terms of privacy.

In your house, you might have private documents, do some things you don't want other people to have or see just like what we have on our phones nowadays.

The analogy I'm trying to make is that if suddenly the government decided to install cameras in every houses with the premise to make sure no pedophile is abusing a child and that the cameras never send data unless the AI done locally detects it is something that I believe would shock everyone.

So when my son was born profoundly deaf in one ear, as an audiophile, I soon realized "time to prove the merits of single channel."

So far that just means my everyday workstation has a single Tivoli Model One radio as the output transducer and it sounds good enough for watching films and playing Spotify on the desktop.

Police routinely get drug sniffing dogs to give false positives so that they are allowed to search a vehicle.

How do we know Apple or the FBI don’t do this? If they want to search someone’s phone all they need to do is enter a hash of a photo they know is on the targets phone and voila, instant access.

Also, how is this not a violation of the 14th amendment? I know Apple isn’t part of the government but they are basically acting as a defacto agent of the police by scanning for crimes. Using child porn as a completely transparent excuse to start scanning all our material for anything they want makes me very angry.
Yeah I see the detail about matching hashes with well known images from a database... but what triggered my comment is this other function that is mentioned:

> The other feature scans all iMessage images sent or received by child accounts—that is, accounts designated as owned by a minor—for sexually explicit material, and if the child is young enough, notifies the parent

Which seems to be a feature that would allow parents to fix with prohibitions what they didn't achieve with education.

You are not going to contract HIV from someone by standing in the same room as them. That is a very key difference.

There is plenty of discrimination among gay men when it comes to the possibility of contracting HIV, i.e. sexually. Many will require their partners to be on PrEP.
Now it will be "before upload". In 1-2 years it's "scan all local photos" in the name of "make the World a better place". It's such a small technical step for Apple to change this scanning behaviour in the future and scan even offline photos. All the necessary software is on all Apple i-devices already by then.

Everybody is a potential criminal with photos on your phone unless you prove otherwise by scanning. This is the future we are heading to. To do the scanning on device is actually the weakest point of their implementation IMHO.
> Exceptional Performance for Creators

The writing has been on the wall for a while in regards to Apple. Last time I suggested this topic it was down voted heavily.

Apple’s Pro lineup, from laptops to desktops, has been catered toward creative types not developers for a while. They have the best hardware in the and that’s why we want them.

Apple only cares about developers who are developing apps for their platforms they do not care about developers using their products for other development. It’s not their focus.
When to Stop Hoping for a Covid-19 Miracle Cure
Okay. Keep going with the scare tactics. Clearly you missed the real point of you being incredibly hyperbolic

I’d be happier if Apple wasn’t doing this at all. I’m not defending them necessarily but I am calling bullshit on your scare tactics. It’s not necessary.

> That framing alone is a nationalist myth meant to put Chinese people in a siege mentality

Nobody put that "myth" in my mind. It's just something that's obvious to me as a regular consumer of major US and European news media, who also happens to know something about China.

> Ironically, the west is allowed to know more about China than Chinese people are.

This is the exact opposite of my experience. I find that Chinese people who are interested in politics tend to know far more information about many Chinese news stories than you can even find in foreign-language media. Western reporting on China is actually quite limited. If you want to know what's going on in the country, you pretty much have to learn the language, and relatively few people in the West know Chinese. The opposite isn't true - many Chinese people read English and read foreign media, so they have a pretty good idea about what's going on outside. This is not even to mention the influence of American pop culture in China, which is very significant.

> Are we even sure how many Chinese ages 18-30 know about Tiananmen Square?

I'm pretty certain that every single adult Chinese person I've ever talked to knows about Tiananmen Square (and the Cultural Revolution and the Great Leap Forward). This was a major event. Huge numbers of people were personally involved. Many more experienced it day-by-day as it happened. If you ask Chinese people about the events, you'll get a wide range of views.

> ethnonationalistic sentiment

All the government messaging I've ever seen on ethnic issues emphasizes the importance of China's ethnic diversity. "China has 56 ethnic groups" is a constant refrain. China is very nationalistic, but it's not ethnonationalist.

Just overall, I find the level of understanding of China in the West to be extremely low, and far from helping, most of the media is aggressively pushing an extremely narrow, distorted and negative narrative. I think this has to do with the geopolitical rivalry between the US and China.
well, that's why we need to do the research and develop tech to help us measure, manage, and balance an ecosystem.
This isn't the biggest issue at play, but one detail I can't stop thinking about:

> If an account held by a child under 13 wishes to send an image that the on-device machine learning classifier determines is a sexually explicit image, a notification will pop up, telling the under-13 child that their parent will be notified of this content. [...] For users between the ages of 13 and 17, a similar warning notification will pop up, though without the parental notification.

Why is it different for children under 13, specifically? The 18-year cutoff makes sense, because turning 18 carries legal weight in the US (as decided via a democratic process), but 13?

13 is an age when many parents start granting their children more freedom, but that's very much rooted in one's individual culture—and the individual child. By giving parents fewer options for 13-year-olds, Apple—a private company—is pushing their views about parenting onto everyone else. I find that a little disturbing.

---

Note: I'm not (necessarily) arguing for greater restrictions on 13-year-olds. Privacy for children is a tricky thing, and I have mixed feelings about this whole scheme. What I know for sure, however, is that I don't feel comfortable with Apple being the one to decide "this thing we've declared an appropriate invasion of privacy for a 12-year-old is not appropriate for a 13-year-old."
What if those budgets have significantly less buying power? Especially in critical areas like housing, healthcare, and education?
> Why take the time to argue a point that's easily disproven?

>> I've heard that Dr. Fauci is a partial owner on some patents

Why take the time to argue a tiny subpoint of my point, by erecting a strawman and linking to a fact checker that is political by its very nature..

Which spends the first half of the page attempting to discredit the supposed author of the point, and then, hilariously, admits that, in fact, Fauci is listed as inventor of at least four patents, even if possibly unrelated to COVID-19 vaccines etc, and the so-called fact checker even said they actually reached out to NIAID for comment on those patents and never heard back.
I think some things are maybe just timeless. I was too young to fully appreciate computers around the time of the Amiga. My only real memories of computers of that time, apart from games, is being a kid and learning how to write loops that repeated text on my dad's Atari.

But, I've read a lot over the years about computers from then and have spent a lot of time on modern computers.

The Amiga, from what I can tell, was actually special, not just from a nostalgia sense.

They seemed to push the boundaries of computing at the time, gave a glimpse of what could be but were stuck in that inbetween phase and just couldn't quite make it.

I think they deserve all the praise they get. They seem like they were one hell of a machine for the time and despite the huge diversity of things like linux distros and such these days, things like the RPi and various comparable devices, a huge range of consoles, phones and other arm based things, there really isn't anything like the old days of computers where everything was different and devices were made to be tinkered with.

Not to say everything about that era sounded awesome or better or whatever, but something does seem to have been lost that machines like the Amiga seem to embody.

I’m not that familiar with USA inflation but with Canadian inflation statistics, certain categories feel way off - such as housing. As someone who is considering buying a house their measure is useless.

Being remote does not mean working from home. Being remote does not mean never going out, quite the opposite actually, you just need to be intentional about it.
Real inflation is very hard to measure, because it's not only prices that change - more often the product loses quality while price stays the same. Either way, you are getting less for what you pay for, but only the price change is measured as inflation. In addition, people switch over to cheaper alternatives when products get more expensive - meat is replaced with vegetables for example. This changes the average basket of goods, and again doesn't affect inflation. There are also government programs and subsidies which are designed to alter the basket of goods or the prices of those goods.

Taking everything into account it seems that real inflation is higher than reported, and it might not be possible to measure it correctly by just tracking prices.
The US is not anywhere close to meeting any of those definitions. USA has problems, sure, but it's nowhere close to being an actual failed state. You'd have to be aggressively biased against the US to argue that it's a failed state. By the same standards, pretty much every central american, south american, eastern asian country, and most european countries would count as failed states.
I've often made this comparison. Software engineering seems primarily focused on making it work correctly, security engineering is about making it fail correctly.

But I also think that latter part should be just given more weight in software engineering in general. A simple example is regex: most people tend to think about writing regexes that positively match expected input, but this generally results in expressions that match things it shouldn't. Writing them is generally easier and more straightforward when you think about not matching what they shouldn't!
