I could see this becoming a TikTok challenge, then the youtuber Chubbyemu will have to do a video on it. /s

But seriously, could the deputy have rubbed his eyes or mouth? Or perhaps the deputy just utilizes some confiscated material in his off-time and it finally caught up? It is super easy to OD on fentanyl. I assume, maybe incorrectly, that the department would have a toxicology report performed on the deputy. Otherwise the video could just be a scare tactic.
I'm idly curious:

does arxiv show who reviewed it? credentials etc?

Is there a trust scoring mechanism or some such?

is there some way to show a graph of reviewing?

Is there a restriction on who can post a paper?

(I'm not saying any of these are needed to make it "respectable" or even that they should be... just wondering how arxiv does its thing)

Personally I like the overall concept of arxiv. Even with no one necessarily reviewing a paper, which is probably unlikely, the fact its even accessible for later review when necessary is worthwhile.
I thought Bitwarden is open source. Is it not a standard license? Can you not fork it and change its behavior?
Not the parent poster, but this can be done from inside the app. They hid the link, but the purchase flow is still available from inside 1Password.
I can't give you direct links, but I know that large scientific/engineering organisations have not been pushing for free open access. For example the IEEE has been part of an open letter (which included Elsivier) lobbying against Plan S. These organisations derive a lot of their money from publishing, so while many (most) of the members are strongly in favor of OA, the buerocratics in the organisations often are not. Which gives mixed messages to politicians.

On top of that I believe that non-scientific publishers have also been part of the lobby campaign as they see OA as weakening copyright.

DNS is decentralized. And having multiple owners of the same domain would be a phishing nightmare. Not to mention, how does the user determine which one to use?
What pisses me off the most is that basically none of the dem lists do anything but ask for money. No calls to action/call your senator/etc. Just people trying to get paid.

(Contrast to Sanders, who, especially as the pandemic started, often guided people to give money to other causes. But even for his list I feel like there was an opportunity for coordinated action on many things that was lost)

What’s the point of coordinated channels of supporters if it’s just to get money? I’m not that interested in subsidizing consulting firms and adtech thank you
Too wonk. Please simplify.
Randomly chosen three word combinations are not "phrases" in the linguistic sense, though they certainly are "pass phrases". I think we are sliding into equivocation over multiple meanings of the word "phrase".

There is a difficulty there that should be acknowledged.
Relay is a good service, but if you're interested in one with more features I'd recommended SimpleLogin: https://simplelogin.io/.

The biggest addition for me is SimpleLogin's log of where the emails were forwarded from, and being able to associate aliases with different emails. With Relay I have to go digging around in my email trash or password manager.

It might even be argued that the de facto mandatory nature of their standards constitute a form of (international) competitiveness, because their prices sure aren't just trivial to particularly smaller businesses.

Especially when you take into account that in other economies (outside the USA), their prices can be downright show-stoppers.

But then, it isn't particularly a new thing for larger economies to abuse standards and intellectual property regulations, to "compete" with smaller economies in ways that diametrically oppose the supposed (or at least often hailed) purpose and goals of both standards and intellectual property regulations.
Software archeology is my jam. I try to watch everything on that subject that I can get my hands on.

I feel like there isn't a lot of variation in the features available in different open-source implementations of common tools. I wonder if somewhere in some obsolete binary there are dormant treasures of innovation.

That’s an interesting non-denial: he never actually says the spam algorithm isn’t biased against conservatives. There could well be a bias, because many ML systems have unintended biases. Google could easily answer the question. It’d probably take an hour max to write and run the mapreduce or whatever they use now.
So do a "def" instead, it can be even inlined.

I can be certain because I have looked at the images, and they are obviously not CSAM. Since the visual derivative is generated from CSAM, any spoof must look like it could be mistaken at a glance for CSAM.

What prevents a generated image from matching both is that the attacker would need to know what the image they are trying to spoof looks like, in order to make a false positive of both. I.e. the attacker would need a copy of the original CSAM, and the spoofed file would end up looking like it could be at least plausibly mistaken for that exact image.

I agree to the payment. I disagree to the subscription model.

I absolutely would try to hook users on any SaaS. However, I go out of my way to avoid such products. If I can pay for them once, I much prefer it. (For something like jetbrains, I'm okay with a renewal fee because if I choose not to pay it, I can still use the older version.)

I make an exception for Bitwarden because I like the idea of my password manager having continual security updates. However, it's one of the most frustrating parts of the webification of services - I want to pay for things once, and choose if I want the expanded features at any given time.
I agree. As an Indian it is just sad that there are people that do this. The effect of such articles is actually the loss of faith in the real findings of those ancient people caused by exaggerated claims presented in these articles.

There are so many actual great things and findings written in those texts, but it seems like people are either in the ship of "Everything is in Vedas" or "All this isn't worth researching". The lack of interest in researching these ancient texts caused by these 2 extreme sides is disheartening.
HTML5 brings incredible things to the table however with its taints of corporate presence and those who hold a dictation in direction. This is not "free".

HTML doesn't have to be the only web transport. Build your browser and make your own protocol. IPFS is doing just fine.

HTML4 was the last true free-release from any corporate grab. And it has everything youll ever need. However it just sits there forgotten taken by the glory of HTML5.
One explanation would be that this appears to be a combined heat and power installation [0][1]. These may not have higher thermal efficiency in generating electricity than grid sources, but as the waste heat from that cycle is used productively it reduces the overall energy demands. This is particularly the case in regions that don't have district heating, as I believe East Anglia does not.

The Principles of Newspeak (1949)
It is "Nir" or whoever's work and choice about what license to use.

If you wrote a book and some of your readers demanded that you let them write the sequels, you might be quite annoyed.

Creators have rights and it is respectful and just to honor their choices.

Maybe "Nir" or whoever will release the tools under an open source license upon retirement or something, but that is up to them.
It all comes down to concentration of the industry. Open standards thrive when one company isn't able to just roll their own stack from the hardware all the way up to the applications; in-housing and locking-down thrive when one company is big enough to just do everything itself.

When Google was small it embraced an open OS, the open web, email, RSS, etc. Now it's big enough that it doesn't need (and therefore doesn't want) open technologies.
>I’ve heard similar things from many Apple users. What leads people to have this kind of faith in particular corporations?

It is all part of their PR and marketing. And they are very good at it. This happened in Tim Cook's era, not Steve Jobs. May be too good it backfired. If you pay close attention to all the Apple news, ( not some, but ALL ). Pick the top 10 Apple news site and read through it for a few years and it will surely get to most people. And Apple news are the most sort after, highest paid Ads revenue in tech sector. So it is sort of a feedback loop. Worth remembering there are relatively little journalist left, only reporters. No one bother to fact check anything any more. That is why we have so much crap that anyone has some domain knowledge on the subject will immediately smells BS.

And their PR tactics are.... dull or should I say predictable? Controlled Leaks ( I mean come on from the same press again? ) on the same subject or using same allies in testimony ( SnapChat again? )? Unfortunately most people dont do any analysis like this. ( Although I guess that is borderline forensic ).
> It is closed source system. Nothing is stopping them doing it right now without telling it. And it might take years for someone to notice. All we can do is trust, and hope for their best intentions. Speculation is not strong argument in black box systems.

Yes, but ignoring the bad things that they tell you they're doing because they might be doing even worse things that they aren't telling you isn't a great stand to take.
> They only have a very high market share because Chrome is the best browser.

This is very much a matter of opinion, not something you can reasonably state with a straight face. A large part of Chrome's large market share is the fact that it comes installed as a default on more than half the world's phones and that it's heavily marketed by the world's largest search engine and video hosting website (owned by the same entity!).

It also good enough, for now.

It has nothing to do with it being the best, though.
You would be surprised, I'm 37 and yet building a PDP-8 on a (large) CPLD, because I'm fascinated with this machine. I even considered building a DTL replica of the straight 8 with PCBs and SMDs for a while, I have some R-series logic gates simulated in LTspice but this proved unpractical to build physically.

I also have both a PiDP-11 with V6 UNIX and an IBM XT replica running ELKS, and I'm currently modeling the EDSAC (1949) in HDL. I find those machines fascinating, and the assembly code that came with them just as fascinating in resource efficiency.

A company "contemplated" something...?

News flash: yes, in internal meetings, people suggest all sorts of options. It's called brainstorming. And then they're looked into in varying levels of detail to investigate pros/cons. Research isn't action.

Also, most people in meetings aren't lawyers, so they come up with options before running it by legal. It's not always clear what is or isn't illegal -- lawyers even disagree with each other.

At the end of the day, what matters is what Google does. It you're going to criticize, criticize actual actions, not what was "contemplated".

Criticizing a company for "contemplating" something is as bad as criticizing someone for having a thought. Any responsible company should be contemplating a wide variety of options... and then rejecting the ones that are no good.
I utilize a compound that passes other molecules through the skin. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes just to reach the muscles and blood vessels below the derma. It would then have to travel to the lungs. I would expect at least an hour or probably more if this were occurring. Even then you would have to rub it over a decent area of skin.
The requestIdleCallback approach can be a nice alternative to requestAnimationFrame or debouncing.

But note that requestIdleCallback is not supported in Safari, so you have to shim it there.

I didn’t understand from the phrasing in your initial comment that you were saying ”yeah that could’ve worked, but it wouldn’t have been economically feasible for her to do that just for the sake of an article, so it’s not an actual solution in this context”. So I was genuinely wondering why you thought that wasn’t a real solution. Like you had philosophical objections to doing journalism in that way. But now I’m following.
The algorithm wouldn’t have a bias vs conservatives because it doesn’t include semantic meaning, but it could have a bias vs methods used by this conservative. Which really just comes down on whoever is generating those emails.
I think that there are several ideas that are both powerful and that people muddle when they talk about mathematics. Also the talk is often tinged with cultural pride.

The ideas are conceptualization, generalization, and rigor.

The Pythagorean triples are a conceptualization that for certain right triangles, the squares of the three sides obey a relationship.

The Pythagorean theorem is both 1. a generalization that that would be the case for all right triangles and 2. rigorously proved it. Furthermore, at least for the proof in The Elements, it was axiomatic rigor, proving this via a chain of logic starting from base concepts.

Now to the cultural pride aspect. Many cultures came up with concepts in mathematics. Many cultures generalized. Many cultures were rigorous.

The argument is/should really be that the Pythagorean theorem is on the far end of the rigorous, generalization axis. The better argument actually is that The Elements is.

My personal take is that the Pythagorean theorem isn't, at least in the long span of mathematics history, an exemplar of conceptualization.

And yes, there is some overlap and ambiguity with these ideas and you can argue about where the boundaries lie but I don't think we gain that much from that.

If people don't think that other cultures conceptualized, generalized, and were rigorous, just look at The Art of War, Bhagavad Gita, etc...
CSAM indicates you think the material, and the practice of making it, is abhorrent. "Child porn" is something some (severely deranged) people might actually want to see. The upshot of this is, if you put "ios child porn detection features" into Google, Google will see "child porn" and may think that's what you're searching for, put up warning banners reminding you that child porn is super illegal and that you should not be searching for it, and probably notify the FBI who will add you to a watchlist. If you put "ios csam detection feature" into Google, it helps Google know that you are not searching for child porn itself.
Nobody is going to ask you to open a company in the British Indian Ocean Territory. In fact I think the people involved would rather you forgot all about it.
Starlink and Swarm don't meaningfully compete. Starlink is a V-band (GHz-territory) system suitable for high bandwidth applications, but requiring good line of sight, lots of power, and a big, complicated phased-array antenna (or I guess you could maybe have something actively steered instead, but SpaceX doesn't seem to be pursuing that).

Swarm is a VHF system (hundreds of MHz) that can't come anywhere near Starlink in terms of bandwidth, but can operate with much lower power and a small, simple, dirt-cheap antenna. The tradeoff is that you'll end up paying way more per byte. But for their intended applications (basically, embedded IoT-type sensors), you don't want to transmit/receive much anyway, and keeping BoM cost down is key.

In other words: there's basically no application where someone might be choosing equally between these two options.
Tesseract sucked for me. Had a simple use case where I was trying to read numbers (in a computer font) from .png files and at completely predictable locations in the image -- and Tesseract was getting it horribly wrong a huge percent of the time.

Big Tech are supposed to be the plumbers, not patricians of internet discourse
I may not be a native English speaker, but Wikipedia tells me that "In commerce and industry, 24/7 or 24-7 service (usually pronounced "twenty-four seven") is service that is available at any time and usually, every day ... Synonyms include round-the-clock service (with/without hyphens), especially in British English, and nonstop service".

I struggle to fit "at some times during every hour" into this definition. If there's a 24/7 shop, I definitely don't expect not being able to enter it at some times, or even not being able to enter it 75% of the time.
Interesting facts here.

7-Elevens in Japan are owned by a company called Seven & I Holdings:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_%26_I_Holdings

The USA 7-Eleven chain is a subsidiary of Seven & I Holdings!

This is because in the early 1990's, the American 7-Eleven was facing bankruptcy. The Japanese one wasn't, and acquired them to bail them out.

So if you walk into a 7-Eleven in the USA, you are in a Japanese 7-Eleven, albeit one that continues to be run in the American style. Just like a Panasonic microwave oven in North America looks nothing like a Japanese microwave oven.

> weren’t background apps on Android leashed in because abuse of the capability was rampant and was torpedoing users’ battery life?

This should have been addressed by giving the user a capability to determine power usage by each app and either allow it if he needs the app, or restrict background running.

The way it was done is far from adequate. Also, many manufacturers (samsung, xiaomi, huawei) cripple android even further. See https://dontkillmyapp.com
Yes.

The license check is relatively easy to bypass, and there are also forks and reimplementations out there that already do so.
Tortured phrases: A dubious writing style emerging in science
Very different in the details. I commented above, but tldr: Starlink is suitable for high-bandwidth applications but requires a complicated, high-power antenna. Swarm is only suitable for very-low-bandwidth applications (IoT), but can get by with very simple hardware. They're not really competitors.
Why would you not read the entirety of my comment, and miss the context behind “not a real solution”? If you reread it, you’ll see the the gist of it was the same as my follow-up.
