One example I quote from EFF's post Apple's Plan to "Think Different" About Encryption Opens a Backdoor to Your Private Life [1] on the topic:

We’ve already seen this mission creep in action. One of the technologies originally built to scan and hash child sexual abuse imagery has been repurposed to create a database of “terrorist” content [2] that companies can contribute to and access for the purpose of banning such content. The database, managed by the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism (GIFCT) [3], is troublingly without external oversight, despite calls from civil society [4]. While it’s therefore impossible to know whether the database has overreached, we do know that platforms regularly flag critical content [5] as “terrorism,” including documentation of violence and repression, counterspeech, art, and satire.

I'm not but almost did for a while. It wasn't that the return was the issue, more like a catalyst - I prefer office working (my commute is a 5 - 15 minute walk) but one of my work colleagues is an absolute predator and a few are vocal anti-vax. It's difficult to deal with face to face. We were always flexi/remote work if we wanted but the anti-vax lot have been campaigning against that too. The underlying cultural issues aren't going to change so I'm going to hold off and quit in 12 months so I can get my personal life together

There is one simple reason that enables all the shit mentioned in other replies: as much as we like to pretend, the impact of design is very hard to measure.

A product experience is nuanced, part of a journey, with learning curves, preferences and problems. Much of this is completely ignored in the measurement of the success of design changes.

There are lots of reasons people tend to screw with things that are fine, but the root cause is that they get away with it. Hell, they even get rewarded for it.

I got some PCBs made a couple of years ago from JLCPCB and it wasn't that expensive, with shipping, 5 boards of small size (cheapest ones, not suitable for every project) was about €10 or €12.
Of course for hobbyists who are going to need several tries it makes it expensive, still it's a lot cheaper than before where I could only get PCBs for a much higher price.

You need to add Gauss, who basically figured out arithmetic on his own the way he tells it, but you probably need to remove Ramanujan. Yes, he was brilliant and self-taught with the proper material as inspiration, but where he ended up wasn't understandable to other mathematicians and neither where they to him.

The hand tracking is getting pretty good if you look at a Hololens or some of the recent Quest 2 work. Trying to type with it is trash but you get much more fidelity when trying to manipulate something in 3D space than any other input system.

The UX primitives are still getting worked out. Question like "What is it like to scroll in 3D AR?", "Whats the best way to input text", "What gestures can be reliably tracked from a headset?" and many others are still open questions.

It will be interesting to see what shakes out. Maybe we'll end up with a lot of inter-connectivity with phones and PCs for better inputs.

Information is power and you can dethrone anyone with access to their communication. Just a quote out of context is enough, especially with many people out for blood to handle their doubts and fears.

A lot of people allegedly knew about Epstein and he was completely untouched while connected to high ranking politicians. You wouldn't have needed surveillance to identify child abuse and if it had turned up anything, I doubt something had happened. Even with that surveillance implemented, evidence would only be used if politically convenient.

If you are against child abuse, you should add funding to child care. People there will notice more abuse cases when they have the support and funding they need because that means more eyes on a potential problem. An image algorithm is no help.
Expanded Protections for Children – FAQ [pdf]
Opposite point of view to yours here (yours is equally valid). I vastly prefer Gnome 3. Less rolly thing required.

Separate to that it's not such a great example here even if you hate the change as it's a major version. Gnome 2 didn't change much where you find things and how it works for many years. Gnome 3 has been going on in a similar vein of not having changed much from a UI perspective (at least that I've noticed) for what, 8 years or so? I don't even recall the last time I had to learn something new about using it. You're completely within your rights to dislike it. There's mate and xfce for you that might be more to your taste. And as an aside, isn't just seriously cool that we have good options and alternatives if we don't like the way something goes on the linux desktop? When Apple/MS change you go with them or dump everything you use and how you use it to shift to a competitor. Gnome to xfce is pretty straightforward and you use it to use all the same software applications.

Everything. It certainly isn’t as sexy as CSS and JavaScript. It doesn’t have the arcane mystical aura of Haskell and Brainfuck. Nor the fanatic intensity associated with Rust and C.

>But Facebook said the browser extension was programmed to evade its detection systems and vacuum up user data, creating privacy concerns.

The supreme irony of this statement coming from Facebook. That's your business model lol.

For context[1], the 'unauthorized data collection' in this case that Facebook claims is happening is the data about the advertisers, not the participants in the study, who actively install an extension that collects information about what political ads are shown to a user, stripped of personally identifying information. This sounds like getting a political campaign ad in the mailbox, reporting that to a local study and then getting terminated by the mail company for violating the campaigns privacy, that's some real bizarro world shit

It's still not clear to me whether you are raising an issue with scanning client side, or your concern is actually with some other policy you expect to be implemented in future.

The reason for the permanent world record is in the article. The new standardization made the javelin fall 10% short.

> in 1986 the International Association of Athletics Federations' technical committee authorized a new javelin design. The center of gravity was moved 1.6 inches forward, the tip was modified to make the javelin less aerodynamic, meaning it would nose down earlier and land sooner, reducing average flight distance by about 10 percent.

The permanent WR is unfortunate in that it was engineered. It would be like moving the 100 m to an incline of 12% and calling it the same sport.
I would buy AR glasses that censored ads though :)

You also get media exhorting loudly and frequently about the problem which causes people to tune out.

Several weeks ago, a several friends messages me and asked me if I was okay... somewhat taken aback, I replied, that yes, I was indeed fine. One in particular went on to explain that that they saw an article about a heat dome in Texas, and were concerned for my safety. I explained that it was no hotter than normal here, and that everything was just fine. They seemed perplexed by my answer. I'm still perplexed why everyone was so concerned - it's always hot in North Texas in July, at least we're not in a drought this year.

At some point stories like this cause folks to just tune it all out, at the media selling hysteria. Blood sells as they say. We have a lack of media responsibility too here causing some of this. If the news media keeps presenting everything as on fire, you'll want to find information that tells you it's not.
It sounds very wise, except the person under discussion also did not do anything. He simply spoke poorly and got crushed. That isn't action of any kind, except as a type of suicide.
Sorta and as long as those new things aren’t relatively novel, I can agree with that. I do some JS every now and then, but Redux was a pretty novel solution to JS and so was React. At first, no one knew how difficult it would be to do certain things that were once easy. A lot of time was spent discovering best practices across the community. Were all these things new? No. Was the combinations of language, patterns and paradigms new, yes. It was relatively new. I had experience with event-oriented systems in C# at the time, but there was no way I could have predicted how hard it would be to make a simple form in React + Redux at the time.

All of the 'bad things' you mention are already very illegal. Changing the laws in this case will only lead to tyranny. I cannot emphasize this enough, you cannot fix societal ills by simply making bad things illegal. Right to repair is of course crucial to free society.
Scary to admit this, but whatever. In my younger years, which coincidentally were also the younger years of the internet, I used to come across... let's say...bad things all the time.

Being a decent enough human, I made many reports to NCMEC. Human verified(me) reports.

Never once did I hear back. Not even some weird auto-reply. Needless to say, I have zero faith in that agency. Fitting they'd get others to do the work.
The problem is that you're not conceiving the boundaries of the system properly. It's best, when creating an authoritarian provision to remove liberty, to assume that the control of such an mechanism is under the control of a faction you're least aligned with. This is why the US is liberal before it's a democracy. It has meta code defining the boundaries of the democracy, and in the case of speech, asserts that the liberty to speak supersedes any democratic authority.

Obviously people looking for an expedient authoritarian mandate to limit speech within the boundaries of what they consider to be acceptable see the existence of free speech as the allowance of that which is outside their boundaries, but they don't actually understand the purpose. The purpose is a hedge against tyranny with a trade-off. People get to say horrible, stupid, counterproductive things, but your political enemies don't get to constrain your ability to express yourself.

I also don't understand why the rest of the world is so eager to see this right stripped in America...I would feel extremely claustrophobic if there was no place on earth in which free communication wasn't enshrined in law. Even if Europeans want to mandate their own speech, they still benefit from the hedge against tyranny by such a place as America existing.
This isn't to appease the authoritarians, it's to diminish the argument which elected authoritarians use to get their electorate to manufacture consent for their authoritarian ideas.

What Apple has done isn't a slip on the slippery slope. There's only one greased up slide in the playground and that's the presence of closed source software which auto-updates. As long as you are willing to accept closed source software which can update itself, the slope is slippery. This very public announcement by Apple doesn't change the angle of the slide, because the risk of someone sneaking in "bad" fingerprinting wasn't any less last year.
Yup, a company doesn't want to develop more products than it needs to, so they instead try to stuff all the market needs into a singular product, which results in a compromised product for every customer. I'm constantly complaining to my product management at work about this fact, it isn't that they don't know it, it is just that company management would never approve the resources for the 2-4 products that actually need to get made.
Amazon, Flipkart Want to Use Electric Vehicles in India. Except
Part of it is to do with liability and tax stuff. If amazon doesn't share the info in both directions, can they really claim to the taxman and insurance providers that the seller sold you the stuff, or did Amazon really sell you the stuff and the seller was simply their supplier?

Amazon wants to say the seller sold it (unless it was a vendor sale "sold and fulfilled by Amazon.com").
No "drinking for the planet" then? Disappointing.
In my experience, using a smartphone is cumbersome or unwise when I shouldn't be looking at the screen in the first place. Like when driving, for example. And in cases where I could maybe put the phone somewhere, my hands may be covered in dough, and I can't touch the thing. So I'm not convinced seeing the output is the problem that needs solving.

Now, a good audio interface would be great IMO. Most of the stuff I want on the web is text, really, so if I could just ask the phone to read me articles, expand on topics I want to know more about, make reservations etc. etc., that'd be much more useful to me than having a screen mounted to my glasses. Yea, we have some voice controls now, but in my experience, they're not useful enough to bother with.

Edit: some gesture recognition with a device like the Myo would probably augment an audio interface nicely.
Yeah, we have a big problem with this kind of thing in Australia - a lot of legislation is being written in more and more vague terms, with more and more things delegated either to the cabinet ministers or (as in this case) unelected bureaucrats to make decisions. More and more laws have the fuzzy kind of "oh, also anything else that we feel like it applies, we'll know it when we see it" kind of clause in their definitions.

The problem is that apart from making for literally just bad laws, it's actually moving away from the principle of "the rule of law" into more and more arbitrary territory - and this isn't just in areas like this, but things like but energy policy, awarding of grants, etc. More and more, Government tenders go as "preferred tenders" rather than open/competitive tenders, and there's just been a big scandal about over a billion dollars of grant programs (in sports, commuter car parks, regional development, etc.) being used around the last election specifically targeted to seats held by the party or marginal seats they wanted to win - with no merit based procedures being followed. But many people might have missed the whole thing, if they mostly only read News Ltd. papers (70% of readership) or watch Sky News here, which curiously didn't report on it...

It's really a big mess, everything seems to be getting more and more corrupted...

I said they felt he is awful. Maybe he felt they are awful, too. It is a thing that happens in human relationships, that people end up disliking each other. We have only heard one side of the story here.

It is a pretty normal thing that people don't get along with each other, for whatever reason. Just because one party goes public and frames the other as a horrible person, doesn't necessarily mean they really are.

If nobody who is disliked by somebody could become boss, there would only be very few candidates left.
Why would they need to withdraw service anyway? How can the fines be enforced? I assume the best the government could do is block access to the service but I see no reason why a foreign company needs to care about this law unless they have offices/employees/paying customers in the area.

> It's in many ways a different event because the equipment is different, so why should a record for a different event stand.

That's a completely separate concern. Once records are established for the current event, you still expect them to be more or less permanent. Turning in the best performance in all of history is not an attainable goal. You can't expect it to be one.
A record is a person that did very well in the past.
Last music player UI I liked was Muine circa 2007. I don’t think we are improving our solutions.
My guess is that adding steganographically hidden content is almost free for the attacker as perceptual hash is resistant to small variation.

There is a free parameter called gap in my code which help make sure that you can modify the image a little bit and still get the same hash.

So probably the attacker can use the least significant bit of each pixel as a hidden channel. Take 8 pictures and you can hide any grey image ((or hide them in the same one if the original image is of high resolution (perceptual hash is almost like acting on thumbnails) ).

The human eye won't be able to see anything special in the picture, but a forensic software will definitely notice that something's off in the least significant bits of your pictures and light some red flag. Then once the reviewer figure the steganographical scheme, he will decode the hidden picture, and after having a ha-ah moment he will be convinced 100% that this is offensive content and that it should be reported.
They might be able to do it without anyone ever knowing, but at a business level they can’t they do it better with everyone knowing and children safety as an excuse?
The rules are in place not to hold back speed, but to protect the image of cycling. A recumbent may be faster but it does not look like a bicycle to the average person and changes the image of the sport.

Things like better shifters, lighter frames (within reason) more aero parts (within reason) are still allowed.
On the other hand, if you try to be too specific about things like this, people will work around the legislation. In the EU, GDPR is deliberately rather vague in some areas because otherwise the whole thing would have been rendered useless.

(Mind you, I think this one is probably too vague, because it leaves a vast range of possible interpretations open and really does say just about nothing about what will actually be required.)
