Could be! I'm never sure how I'm communicating, and only marginally more sure about what I think.
> when apple forces you into a marketplace that basically relies on customer handouts, where your only way to make profit on your 99ct app is to hit it so big, that your have several million customers.

What the fuck, it’s your decision to charge $1 because thousands of other devs do it, not Apple’s. If you want to charge $10-$50 and you think can convince users to pay that much, Apple is not stopping you. Seriously wtf.

Apple’s ecosystem got those hundreds of millions of customers in the first place because Apple lets the users decide how much they think apps should be worth.

Do you think users pay more on Android? https://www.macrumors.com/2020/10/02/app-store-earned-twice-...
> access the data in the vouchers for images matching CSAM. One of the data elements in the voucher is an “image derivative” (probably a thumbnail)

So the author of the article is technically correct: Apple intentionally uploads CP to their servers for manual review which is explicitly forbidden by law.

He even describes the issue with thumbnails
Good point: neural nets are getting better at natural language every year.
Even more appropriate comment as gold did just take a huge dive tonight, lol.
Sure there’s probably orders of magnitudes more of that content. But that’s not what most people are targeting I think with these laws and tech. I believe when I read some of NYT (Gabriel J.X. Dance?) on this a while back it was explicitly about child abuse not “oops older teens”.
Yeah, and none of these assholes (pardon the language) is willing to spend a penny to provide for millions of children suffering of poverty: free education, food, health, parental support. Nothing, zero, zilch. And these millions are suffering right now, this second, with life-long physical and psychological traumas that will perpetuate this poverty spiral forever.
Brett McFall sold a $3000 scammy course and service that taught you to do something like this (monetize expired domains that have traffic and hope to sell the domain later) including create SEO spam blogs packed with Amazon or eBay affiliate links on the freshly renewed domain name.

I went to the seminar with friends and the whole time thinking this is just bullshit, but somehow Brett McFail had ignited my less tech-savvy friends greed impulse so they paid for it and I helped run it. This was about a dozen years ago.

Major waste of time and money except for Brett McFail who made $millions selling $3000 courses on a slick stage pitch teasing passive income dreams where the fine print should have read: *actual results WILL vary GREATLY in the opposite direction than my nice trending-upwards passive SEO spamblog and domain sales income charts ;P

I just don’t see AR taking off with the current state of things. The minute the ad industry gets their hands on it, it’ll be as unusable as a modern news website, but it’ll block your vision while doing so. This will not drive consumer adoption. We’ll need a sea change in application design—the “killer app,” if you will—to get away from screens, but nobody has introduced it yet.
By most measures these programs are more “free” than any gpl software.
So I have heard. Unfortunately, I can't afford the complexity of server/client databases in this context. :(
I don't understand how you can look at the mafia, cartels, China and Russia then say that. No matter what you do, there is NO recourse or transparency AT ALL for those corrupt people in power. The little guy is completely powerless. Cash is becoming phased out. Central Bank Digital Currencies are coming. China already shows that the government can cut people off from life and give you time limits to spend your digital money. I find it impossible to understand your point of view
I did not interpret the open question by /u/wombatmobile the way you and the other poster did. It is not clear from the text that one should do so.

It is not conductive to a discussion to err on the side of malice when in doubt. It is better to clarify and/or to assume the other poster wants to foster discussion.

I would like to read more about your claims,the problem is this subject is very dangerous , the only things I know about it is from articles that got popular and part of this articles are about innocent people that had their lives destroyed because someone made a mistake(like read an IP address wrong).

A nightmare scenario bould be soemthing like,

- giant tech creates secret algorithm , with secret params and threshold that they can tweak at will

- bad guys reverse it or find a way to make a inocent looking picture to trigger the algorithm

- the previous is used by idiots in chat groups or even DMs to troll you, like SWAT-ing in US , or DDOS and other shjit some "gamers" do to get revenge for losing some multiplayer game.

- consequences innocent person loses his job, family, friends, health etc.

I don't trust giants moderators either, they make mistake or just don't do they job and randomly click stuff.
But... you can't. They still would have had to have built a custom VM that could forward full-on Syscalls, so Docker (or something similar) would still have to be written.

This still doesn't make sense to me. Cgroups are a Linux kernel feature, WASM is a VM. They do not have the same (or similar) scope of features.

A Major Climate Idea Is Based on Some Shaky Science
My sense is that a lot of companies are using the current work-from-home moment to push through a stealth pay cut. The thing is, many people got very small pay increases in 2020, so if they now make anything above their 2019 level, they feel like they've moved forward. But most of my clients are handing out large increases to get software developers who show up at the office. If the folks at home get a 10% pay increase they feel like everything is going great. Meanwhile the folks showing up in the office are getting 30% increases.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with taking less pay for more flexibility. I know a lot of women with kids who have been asking for this for a long time. They'd be happy to trade away 25k to get to stay home and run some errands during the day when the kids are at school. There is nothing wrong with this on either side: some workers see the increased flexibility as a big perk, and some corporations are happy to offer that flexibility in exchange for slightly lower pay.

Still, I've been reading articles that try to paint the current moment as a kind of revolution for workers, and I don't think that is accurate. A lot of workers have some leverage this year thanks to several trillion dollars of stimulus money that the government has handed out. But I don't think there has been any kind of long-term change in the balance of power between labor and capital. I'd need to see several years of big pay increases for work-from-home workers before I think any of the current "revolutionary" rhetoric would be justified.

In particular, there is the open question of who will get the big promotions. Who will be in leadership positions in 5 years? Everything I've seen so far convinces me that the leadership in 5 years will be the people who show up at the office.

Of course, not everyone wants to go into management, and that is fine. If people would rather work-from-home and be happy, rather than running after promotions, that is fine. Everyone should do whatever is going to make them happy. Life is short, so don't waste your time doing something that is going to make you miserable. But none of the rhetoric about some kind of revolution is justified if the promotions go to the folks who show up at the office.

Also, keep in mind, my experience is limited to clients in New York City. I've no idea what is happening elsewhere.

Hi there - "gaslighting", seems a bit extreme? I'm just offering some help.

The thing with Amazon is that it's super fragmented and you have to complain through the correct channels. After six years I'm still struggling to navigate at times.

General Customer service team members' KPIs are to just close tickets, that's all they care about.

Go to the Product page and click "“Report Abuse”" on the reviews.

Or email the support team and ask them to escalate the ticket to Seller Performance.

Also complain to seller-performance@amazon.com
"We thank the anonymous reviewers for constructive feedback that we used to improve the article." Standard phrase, credit where credit is due, no need to make some definition worse just to not trip off a plagiarism filter.

Unless this very phrase does the tripping off. Having to rephrase it would be pretty ridiculous though (and illustrates your point).
Split Enz? I mean, ok, but I'll take Talking Heads if we're comparing bands "well-prepared for the emergence of MTV." Once In a Lifetime was released in 1980. Enough said.

Men At Work made a terrific song in Down Under, and an excellent video. Wish we'd heard more from Colin Hay.

INXS is a fine band, but hardly pioneers of music videos, and despite what you wrote, were virtually invisible on MTV until 1985 and really didn't hit their stride until the Kick album in 1987. Given that MTV launched in 1981, INXS does not bolster your initial statement that "Australian artists were uniquely well-prepared for the emergence of MTV." To suggest that Van Halen needed to "catch up" is absurd, given that 1984 was released in, you guessed it, 1984. You also seem to think performance videos are inferior to concept videos... Van Halen's greatest strength as a band was their performances. Check out Unchained... insanely great from DLR's first leap to the massive wall of speakers, to the fans enthusiasm, to lighting Alex's gong on fire at the end. Impossible to watch without wanting to go see them live.
I chose no dates. I described what happens if you used the same dates as the original comment at the root of this thread. The American indices recovered from the 2008 crash in a couple of years. Japan’s problems are far worse than a single stock market bubble in the 80s.

> Some scientists are beginning to worry they might have underestimated how quickly the climate will change. Or have we just misunderstood extreme weather events and how our warming climate will influence them?

James Hansen pointed out long ago (eight years? more?) that the variance of the PDF of temperature difference from climatological average increases, not just the central location.

(In layman's terms: not only is the bell-shaped curve shifting over to the right, it's also getting squashed down flatter and wider.)

So you don't just get proportionately more extreme weather events: you get a lot more than that. As well as many, many more extreme heat-related events, we can expect to see extreme cold events at a similar rate as in the past (or perhaps slightly more of them). Like Texas's this year.

I think this point is not widely appreciated.
Sellers don't get access to customer info unless they are fulfilling the product themselves.

Sellers are obtaining this through black hat methods.
I had a seller contact me directly on WhatsApp. I reported it to Amazon and never heard back. Eventually the same number that contacted me on WhatsApp changed their display photo from company logo to an exotic woman asking me for Bitcoin payment

Note that INXS also trotted out the "filmed performance" video for Don't Change from Shabooh Shoobah and was one of, if not the, first hit for the band internationally.
Ha Ha Ha !!!

Very true. Develop on a PIII with 512MB sdram and release if the software is usable.

It is true that "native" languages are slowly getting scripting characteristics. So maybe the future is "native" again (with scripting used for very specific reasons).
The emperor has no clothes. The more the public learns about how FB operates the less likely it is FB is allowed to exist in its current form.

The idealistic future is one with much more censorship but of much smaller communities (~150) limiting the blast radius. Of course authorities much prefer having centralized actors which they can exert power and control through.
I endlessly get gift card offers for good reviews. Made hundreds of dollars from this.

It’s incredible that they will pay you the cost of the item for a review.

Likewise. I’ve decided to stop using Amazon altogether as I’m not sure how seller is getting my number.

To me, Irony is best expressed in the telling of Euripides' "Iphigenia at Aulis" and what a complete – and classically tragic – irony her story was.

However, looking at Etymonline's definitions, I find myself in a difficult spot of having to rethink how Irony can be expressed:

eironeia "dissimulation, assumed ignorance,"...

So I thank you for sharing your thoughts because what you stated gave me pause: I agree with you in part, felt your conclusions are linked in a way, but it's clear that I have a long way to go to understand the topic.

That said, and from the article, "Coincidences involve juxtaposition and incongruity, but they aren’t counterfactual and don’t involve pretense." The syntax/logic statements in this sentence make my head spin :(

Beyond the book linked, if anyone has further suggestions on readings on Irony please share. Thank you.

Yes, the "public consultation" was much the same on this bill as the AAbill. Almost universally negative from the public, the "opposition" party came out again and said "This is hugely flawed. We're going to vote it though but we don't like it". It's farcical and absurd.
Ask HN: What are the best automated tools for keeping credentials out of GitHub?
I've a new client, a fast growing startup. Their security situation is a mess and I'm trying to get it under control. I'd love to hear anyone's strategies for imposing security on what has been an insecure system. Especially automated tools for basic stuff, like keeping API credentials out of Github.
I guess it would be a win for Android - if Signal is removed from AU app store and/or blocked by local ISPs (like in Russia), the way would be to sideload and use VPN.
Oh, that’s why my sister-in-law, otherwise a thrifty German who moved to Switzerland in part to earn and save more money, pays a cleaning lady to come twice a week and named laundry as one of her duties.
Nailed it. The amount of money insurance will pay for PT is a joke. My wife is a lifelong runner and IIRC insurance would pay like $60 out of the $200+ bill. She just wants to stay active and be healthy and that PT work would pay massive dividends over the year in reduced costs to the insurance companies.
From an organizational perspective, I would like to add my own experience of how things go unnecessarily complex with FE and BE.

A while ago (maybe 7-10 years), I consulted for a company with over 3000 technical people (devs, sys, support, PMs, POs ...). My work was primarily with management regarding what people now call DX (Developer Experience), another new term that I will not address now.

When I was there, they were starting the transformation from Waterfall to Agile. One of the outcomes of this process was the realization that the teams cannot work agile because their technical architecture does not fit this model. So let's first take a moment to underline this: they did not decide to change the technology because the clients had some needs that their current architectures and technologies could not fulfill, but because their current tech stack did not allow an agile way of working.

They went full-on and hired an external company to teach them the newest technologies and work with them. So here is what happened: these cool new guys who were speaking at dev conferences and writing articles about the future of technology came. After one year, everything was transformed into "Javascript," "Microservices," and Reac. I was first amazed on how much energy both management and employees have put into this transformation, how active they were, how much learning happened. Kudos to them for having that much focus and power to achieve this transformation. Then I participated to an internal hackathon, 2-3 full days, where each team was working on their ideas or projects. What was the result? In the end, many Git repositories with microservices and react apps but almost no real solution for a problem solved. Mostly only designers were the only ones trying to create an interface that could solve the problem they choose. The devs spent most of their days setting up big automated infrastructure, focusing on build pipelines and setting up local and production environments, and losing sight of the main purpose: solving a real problem.

I realized that the main issue with tech companies or any other company is transforming toward an organization or architecture without having the actual need that the new structure solves. Because this way of doing things usually does not leave a lot of room for critical thinking about why something is better or worse as a technical solution. It defaults to using what you already know, but what you already know might not be fit as it was not the result of a kind of organic learning based on encountered problems but was imposed on you by a stronger outside context.

So now, what kind of developers do you think the company hires: mostly young developers that know microservices and react. So every newly started project is a SPA on Microservices.

Replace the current generation of politicians with a newer one. If they won't move aside voluntarily, then there are some expedient approaches but they have consequences.

Note: I am a member of that older cohort generationally speaking. I don't think my confreres in power appreciate how strongly they are speaking to the past, rather than the future. I fear for the future (noting that Fear is the mind-killer)
I expect the discussion here to focus on the encryption part, but very little of this is actually about encryption. The full draft is worth reading, it’s not long: https://www.communications.gov.au/file/52396/download?token=.... In fact, I suspect the discussion here might be more beneficial if the link for this were changed from the ZDNet article to the actual draft PDF.

Here’s the full text of the part about encryption:

> 8 Additional expectation—provider will take reasonable steps regarding encrypted services

> If the service uses encryption, the provider of the service will take reasonable steps to develop and implement processes to detect and address material or activity on the service that is or may be unlawful or harmful.

In other words: you can’t just hide behind end-to-end encryption and say it’s out of your hands, you’re still at least somewhat responsible for what happens through your channel if you’re deliberately operating it as a communications channel.

(And section 9 is much the same thing but about anonymity.)

Certainly all of divisions 1 and 2 is described in impressively vague terms; in practical terms, sections 5 and 6 say roughly nothing, and section 7 says “actually we’re not defining things, it’s up to the commissioner to decide what it means”. Divisions 3 and on are a good deal more specific, giving some insights into what sorts of things would need to be implemented on the client side in an end-to-end encryption scenario. (Would the recent Apple stuff match? I’m not certain, as I haven’t paid close enough attention to that to know, but this Determination is about communication, not storage—notwithstanding possible interpretations of Division 3—so I suspect not.)

I’m sighing at clauses 17(1)(d) + 17(2)(a) which say that documents like terms of service “must be written in plain language”, and having a happy dream of a world where large companies actually got taken to task by government for writing their terms of service in legalese.
Weirdly pointless article to have on the front page. the author literally gives the explanation in the first paragraph- with throwing events absolute distance has to be weighed against safety of officials, other athletes running on the track and spectators in the stadium beyond.

Very unfortunate timing unearthing this right now too given that a great throw by Chopra and the inability of the favourites to perform under the conditions has just given India their first ever olympic gold medal in track and field.
For pretty long now.
