> One of the largest contributors to global emissions is large scale factory farming

Unlike digging up carbon from below ground any activity involving only the carbon already above ground does not make the problem nearly as much worse, if at all.

Unless you mean the energy cost for that farming, which is mostly based on using fossil fuels? Which I don't think is a problem specific to animal farming (which of course should be reformed for ethical and health reasons alone) but to almost all farming all over the world. "Plant farming" is not carbon neutral either because it too requires a lot of fossil fuel input. So I don't think mixing problems and targeting only and specifically animal farming, which should be targeted for different reasons, is not helpful because it misdiagnoses the hearth of the problem of current farming techniques relying on ancient deeply buried sun energy instead of only using current sun energy (like the plants themselves do, but our processes don't).
None of those attacks would work against the system as described by Apple. The only photos scanned are items in your photo library prior to upload to iCloud. Your browser cache is not scanned.

Hash collisions would fail human review. About the only consequence I can think of for hash collisions is that the person at Apple who performs the human review step has a slightly nicer day because they were about to look at an image... and then it wasn't CSAM.

That's fine™. You are just going to redirect blame on the original source, provided you got enough Apple Cash on balance to pay the lawyers and stay out of jail while sorting this out.
It isn't exactly a knee jerk; it has been quite likely that this sort of thing would happen sooner or later.

This is just a great point for if anyone is going to do anything. Apple is going to start scanning my phone looking for reasons to put me in jail. I don't want my phone's CPU time spent looking for reasons to imprison me and I don't want to be funding it either. This system will make mistakes.

I think German math education was ok, probably not stellar, but good enough to prepare you well for engineering classes.

I went on another (short) exchange to France later in 9th grade and they were still far ahead of the German system in math at that point.

However, and this may sound stereotypical, their language education was pretty bad. While they were studying similar English literature as us, they were almost completely unable to speak English. When visiting language classes it was evident why, in Germany languages are studied interactively, in France it was only the teacher talking.

I don't know if this changed since then or it was only at this school, but it seemed like such an easy fix.

In terms of workload, I think the total was pretty similar.
I want to search the contents (inside the html) of web pages in my bookmarks, and not just bookmark titles, urls or tags.

Do you know a bookmark system that does that?

So.... my current tabs list? Why spend the extra button clicks to explicitly save and delete it again

So once a week my tab based setup gets reduced to the level of bookmark functionality, and hence I should just use bookmarks? I don't agree.

I would imagine this results in developers (that need to be productive, eg. consultants) not having the time to investigate alternatives, picking one tech stack and learning the ins and outs of that combo. Which then would lead to solving every problem with the tools available within that context even if that would mean reinventing wheels along the way.

But wouldn't companies also save money by using smaller offices (and maybe by cutting the micro managers who control employees in an office environment)? What you are saying is that companies are capitalizing on the preference rather than any real cost of working from home?

There is a huge difference between an OS-level feature and an App-level feature.

Once it's embedded in the OS there is basically nothing stopping the extension of "features" to also eventually scan everything else at some point.

As an App-only feature, you basically disable that whole functionality if you don't have the App.

If you're an iCloud user, it's not much different. But if you're not, you're basically safe from that particular feature creep of extending the scan to other parts of the system (like whole photo-roll, documents, data from other apps, etc)

The whitepapers provided by Apple do not say what the human reviews consists of. They could just look at the hashes to make sure there isn‘t a bug in their system.

I didn't want to respond while the thread was active because I didn't want to seem like I was advertising anything. I switched to BitWarden, personally. I am not saying it's better than 1Password (in fact, it's a little less slick in my opinion) but I was able to switch for free upfront, it works on all my devices, and overall the community of users seems much happier with the developers. This is not me saying "you should use it", just me saying "I ended up choosing it".

My wife's boss uses Dashlane, and I got the impression that was a pretty good choice if you were looking for ease of use for non-technical personnel.
It depends. Some of these people (their parents) left their home country because of economic reasons. This is the primary reason for immigration from Eastern Europe to the EU and the UK. If you're in the US, yes, the visa selection program requirements make your average immigrant come from richer or more connected families. For instance quite a number of people left my country to the US using connections in neo protestant church communities - that's what I've meant by connected.

I'm well aware of that. I remember reading a story about one of the cities in Asia which forbidden car traffic with driver only. Soon there were passengers for hire standing by the road.

If AWS can charge their clients by milliseconds then I'm pretty sure an airline can add a zero to a 10th ticket booked on the same passenger's name.

Silly to ignore the hundreds of billions of dollars worth of fish and oil that everyone in the region is staking a claim to in the South China Sea.

Look, the parent comment lays out a regular dictionary that allows to unpack a symbolic name into words, or pack words into a symbolic name.

In your case, the vocabulary is absent. (And yes, the custom of naming K functions with numbers, especially negative numbers, is sort of annoying.)
Yeah I think we've been through this. Your salary isn't purely a function of how much value you bring to the company. It also depends on how much other people are willing to work for. That's how markets work.

Sorry for the late reply, but for evidence you can look up Robert Miķelsons, who was an active child predator in the Netherlands. He was identified due to images found on a computer in the US. It ended up leading police to him, which caused him to stop. According to further investigations he abused an estimated 83 children, one of which was abused close to 100 times. Many of the victims were less than 5 years old, some were babies.

Without finding the child porn, he would not have been identified and would've victimized many more children.
What country?

Even many of those who left for economic reasons come from richer families that are leaving because of new policies that are less friendly to the wealthy or previously privileged classes. See, for instance, white emigration from South Africa or Zimbabwe to the United States.

Also, to be clear, this is specifically an American perspective and even more specifically, about international students - labor migration from Eastern Europe to the EU is of a decidedly different character and more analogous to the comments I was making about people from the Americas in the US.

I think this is making a whole lot of out nothing, or at least not much. Google would determine your pay based on your work location, regardless of whether that's your home or the office. As a result people that lived far from the office in a typically less expensive area could see their pay drop.

As is common when people rant about SPAs, your dislike (at least as written here) is not actually about SPAs but other things

> Works terrible in bad networks

Yes, software traditionally works shitty under bad network conditions unless the developer actively tests under bad network conditions or has previous experience of handling bad network conditions. This is as much true for anything developed ever that touches a network.

> the shifting of images

This is simply developers missing to add width and height attributes to their <img/> elements. This has been happening since the dawn of the <img/> element and is unlikely to disappear. Also has nothing to do with SPAs, same happens with server-rendered HTML.
I am also from Eastern Europe, but did my Bachelor in the west. For a lot of people there things like limits, series etc. were almost like greek. Speaking of greek, we did some group study and there was a person there who kept saying E this E that. I was perplexed until I saw he meant Sigma as in sum.

But those who didn't know learned it and that was that. I'm not sure it's really that beneficial to force a lot on kids before they are ready to use it or know what it's for. I remember 10th/11th grade sitting and eventually realizing all this stuff we do... I will eventually need to do it to make sure e.g. a building does not crash. And that scared me to death, I did not feel prepared at all. When things are thrown at you before you're ready and can really understand it, it's sort of like you lack a connection to what is essential and what you might be able to do with it on your own. You do your little examples and tasks and solve them, but outside of that context you don't really understand it. I don't think any educational system has figured that out for the majority of kids.
The benefits for the new UI lead are that they don't lose their job due to "having no vision" or something like that. Human psychology is just super bad at recognizing when "no action" has saved the day so to make any progress in a corporate setting you need to have visible achievements.

Giving such downsides to not changing the UI, no cost is too high for a new UI lead.
From Wikipedia, 60 light years and "a journey lasting 120 years".

It doesn't say if that's 120 ship years or Earth years. I'll assume ship years as that makes the most sense in context.

Assuming constant acceleration to the 1/2-way point, flip, deceleration, and using http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/slowerlight3.ph... :

T = (c/a) * ArcCosh[a*d/(c^2) + 1] (given acceleration and distance)

60 years = (c / a) * arccos(a * 30 ly / (c^2) + 1)
1893456000.0 = (3E8/a) * arccos(a * 3.15576 + 1)

Using Wolfram Alpha to solve - https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=1893456000.0+%3D+%283E...

a = 0.14748 m/s^2 or about 1.5% g

Time elapsed on Earth is only a bit longer than ship time:

t = (c/a) * Sinh[a*T/c] = 1.15 * ship time ("proper time")

Final velocity at flip is:

v = c * Tanh[a*T/c] = 0.73 * speed of light

A Brief Intro to Mtl
I did not propose anything. I pointed out what the actual problem is. If you want to refute that, feel free.

Just because the problem is practically unsolvable does not equal it cannot be said out loud. Carbon above ground is going to increase and at most we can lower the speed of extraction, and until we have (sun-based energy) methods at scale to bring carbon back underground we will have to live with ever increasing CO2 levels.

A change in trend to more getting buried than brought up (full stop first is impractical, plus methods will have to be developed and tested step by step) is not even on the horizon of the most optimistic scenarios.

There are lots of people equating making the statement with "you say we should just do nothing" (I did not tell anyone about what they should/can/cannot do?) or with comments like yours, which is strange but very human.

One of my real pet hates is software developers who assume everyone's running their software on an excellent internet connection. Badly written SPAs are the worst offenders but I also pretty much gave up on any sort of regular gaming because pushing these enormous 10-20 GB updates over a sluggish connection just became insufferable. Add that to the constant and shameless fleecing of customers that's apparently the norm now and the enjoyment to effort ratio is just too low to bother with.
But that's a... pretty important window. There are not-completely-bonkers hypothetical spacecraft designs that could get to, say, 0.2c. There's nothing particularly plausible that could get to 0.99c.
Well, there is the work of learning patterns, and then there’s the skill of matching patterns. In the mental model I have, the former yields improvements over time, while the latter probably declines with age. Of course, there’s also collaborations, strategizing (what to work on, when to call it quits, etc) that likely improves with time.

It will be very interesting to see. Based on my own very limited observations, the correlation between high school grades and university performance isn't that strong.

I'd propose that a kid who worked their ass off to get a B+ will do much better at university than the lazy kid who got an A simply because they where smart and had knack for the subject.
Heh yeah fair point :-) Although even that is to some extent ad hominem; he might be being hypocritical, but that doesn't make the point itself wrong.
>our maths education has been seriously dumbed down.

I hear this complaint form nearly every country. It seems like the system has found this "hack" where if you dumb things down enough, then scores go up across the board, giving the impression that the children are performing better, so the people in charge can meet or exceed their KPIs, and everybody's a "winner".

For example, in Romania it was very difficult to get top grades at schools a few decades ago so those grades were used as entry criterias in universities, but nowadays everyone can get top grades without a sweat by carefully rigging the system, so universities have introduced their own entry exams since when everyone has top grades then they are all worthless.
Doesn't that depend on what stage you're in and how you are bringing them in? Like I'd you already have a company set up and you are going to hire them as an employee without sufficient interest, then it does apply. If you're not giving them sufficient interest in the company (10%?), or it hasn't been formed yet, then I think it doesn't.

You certainly can do points-free programming in Haskell. It's the first place I ever heard of it.

Ironically, points-free programming in Haskell has a lot of '.' in it.
I felt the same way, but I noticed professors I admired often doing arithmetic in their head, clearly because they enjoyed doing it. So since then I make an effort to mentally calculate. And you know what? It's a more interesting hobby than you'd think. Whatever technique you adopt (or grow, in my case), it's a good, concrete, occasionally useful exercise in breaking down a problem into smaller parts, and then combining those simple results into something else.

Or maybe it's vanity. But I will say it's depressing to see all the cashiers (in the US) that can't seem to do any kind of math in their head, not even to minimize change (which seems totally ubiquitous in many other parts of the world; in fact, some cultures are aggressive about optimizing your change - China comes to mind).

The problem with Rawls is simple: Behind the veil of ignorance, "maximizing the preferences of the worst off" has many appealing properties.

However, in the real world, where both one's own actions and events out of one's control exert influence in one's outcomes, it creates a huge incentive problem as it slowly turns into the "dictatorship of the worst off."
