I wanted to run Reddit ads after to target users of a certain game after a big expansion launch. My site had a bunch of time-sensitive information that 1) was useful to the users of a specific subreddit, 2) would be useful for a week or so after the launch, 3) while it had a successful submission, I wanted to promote that submission for about a week afterwards to more people could see it.

I put up a reddit ad for that submission and Reddit took 4 weeks to approve it. At that point, there was no point running the ad anymore.

Another time I wanted to advertise to a new game that had a brand new subreddit to match but it was huge - 100k plus users in a week. Reddit simply wouldn't permit me to advertise to it because it was new.

In my (limited) experience it feels like Reddit isn't making the money it could be because it doesn't want to.
We don’t have to convert to an armish standard. We could have just massively reduced car transport and improve electric rail and walkability.

I’m always amazed at how Americans consider driving to be a simple fact of life where you either drive daily or go back to throwing spears in the jungle.
Because

if (willBeUploaded) {
scanPhoto();
}

can become

if (true) {
scanPhoto();
}

Obviously, this is stupidly oversimplified, I have no idea how Apple has structured their code. But the fact of the matter is, if the scanning routine is already on the phone, and the photos are on the phone, all anyone has to do is change which photos get scanned by the routine...
Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with them? There is no excuse for that kind of shitty behavior.
then they literally have a recording of you saying it...
I'm pretty sure it's not true when you account for the wight of the hydrogen tank (as opposed to just looking at hydrogen).

Toyota Mirai is heavier, more expensive, has less range and cargo space than Tesla Model 3.

So it's definitely not true when we're talking about batteries vs hydrogen for passenger cars.

Maybe when you scale the tank to the size of a semi it might edge out batteries, but at the moment there's no data to support this.

Hydrogen is worse than gasoline / diesel.

The hydrogen that is only slightly more expensive than diesel is just as much (if not more) damaging to environment. That's the hydrogen made from natural gas.

The "clean" hydrogen i.e. the one made by electrolysis, is way more expensive than gasoline which is why it's almost non-existent, commercially speaking.

Not to mention all the "but electric cars are not clean because coal plants!" arguments apply 3x as much to hydrogen, because due to losses you need 3x time electricity (and therefore cost) for hydrogen compared to just putting it in a battery.

Bretton Woods ended in 1973. Any time before then, the money supply was strongly impacted by the government's gold reserves.

The only real anomaly in that chart is 2011, which is concealed by the fact that CPI is a terrible inflation metric when wealth inequality is changing (see the increase in equities and real estate during that period).

For reference: CPI is based on a survey to see what median Americans are buying, the prices of those things, and how much of them they are buying. Naturally, people change their spending habits when prices rise to buy cheaper items, and this cancels out the how much of them they buy to end up with an effective metric of "how much are median Americans spending" (hint: basically all of their money). So CPI measures the median American's income, which is why there can never be any changes in "real wages" [0].

You're the one losing out on useful statistics.
China is obviously the big one as is Russia.
Trusting in a group of people like you to cover areas you might not is the benefit of open source and a healthy community.

With Apple you have to trust them and trust they don't get national security order.

I trust that if everyone who had the ability to audit OSS got a national security order it would leak and it would be impossible for many who live in other nations.

I actually think something else happened, and to be honest I think many at Apple behind this decision are likely pretty surprised by the blowback.

That is, it seems like Apple really wanted to preserve "end-to-end" encryption, but they needed to do something to address the CSAM issue lest governments come down on them hard. Thus, my guess is, at least at the beginning, they saw this as a strong win for privacy. As the project progressed, however, it's like they missed "the forest for the trees" and didn't quite realize that their plan to protect end-to-end encryption doesn't mean that much if one "end" is now forced to run tech that can be abused by governments.

This kind of thing isn't that uncommon with large companies. To me it seems very similar to the Netflix Qwikster debacle of a decade ago. Netflix could very clearly see the writing on the wall, that the DVD-by-mail business needed to morph into a streaming business. But they fumbled the implementation, and what largely came across to the public was "you're raising prices by 40%."

I give Netflix huge props for actually reversing the decision pretty quickly - I find that exceptionally rare among large corporations. Remains to be seen if Apple will do the same.
You could just use ‘git undo’ or ‘git reset —-soft HEAD~1’.
Pandas Functions You Didn’t Know Existed – P(Guarantee) = 0.8
Kinda funny how almost every leaker or hacker in the last decade always seems to end up with child pornography in some way, shape, or form once the authorities get to them. Besides which, law enforcement isn't picky about when they pick people up.

>The issue in that case is the violation of the innocent person's privacy, not that they have a risk of being falsely convicted. The courts would still need admissible evidence, and I don't believe that only having a perceptual hash and a set of legally photographed images clears that bar.

So... You admit that this type of scanning is an invasion of privacy, and would likely be a flagrant constitutional violation if done by the Government?

So why is it okie-dokie for the private sector to do this type of systematic check and balance evasion? That's what gets to me.
Getting old is a crisis more and more Americans can’t afford

Meanwhile, it's predominantly young people who freely hand their information to mega-corps to be disseminated and distributed. Outside your (our) bubble young people don't give two craps about privacy.
This is why using the minimum wage statistics is so misleading.

The minimum wage in my state is just the federal $7.25, but even fast food and big box retail hire people at a minimum of $16/hr, if they can even get them to show up for that anymore.

Nowhere, and I literally mean nowhere, in my area is hiring anyone for "minimum" wage.
Being 25, excellent physical condition, having already gotten over COVID once with little more than a runny nose—absolutely. If you said all I had to do was agree in-writing, to not occupy an ICU bed in order to avoid having this vaccine forced upon me I’d do it in a heartbeat. But see that’s the kind of sensical thinking that our government can’t seem to comprehend, instead they’d rather just cut off people’s access to public transportation and restaurants.

I believe your comment about losing agency by wanting to be in society was a misinterpretation. My indication was clearly that agency == not taking the vaccine in this case. I realize that by participating in society I can’t run around with an AK-47 shooting whomever I please—while technically that IS a loss of agency that’s clear not the kind of agency I was talking about. I was talking about the benign agency to simply say “No” to the largest medical experiment in recent memory—literally modifying the way our DNA replicated as a vaccine delivery system.

There has always been inherent risk in the freedom to live as one chooses. But that I’ll happily assume that risk, and I’ll take full responsibility for the consequences of my choices.
I’m curious to know your thoughts on the following counterpoints:

> I have developed my signature so that nobody can replicate it fluently.

Robots that hold and move a pen have been created to forge signatures.

> I also use special one off archival ink that nobody else in the world has.

I’m not sure if you’re being serious or not because this is absolutely hilarious, but in the event that you are, does this have any purpose? You could use this excuse to secretly “poison” a contract that you intend on breaking (by using a normal pen to sign it).

> Emails do not have any default mechanism like that, especially if they only rest on servers of the interested parties.

Gmail accounts are free and support DKIM. If both parties conduct business over Gmail, those messages have irrevocable sender authenticity. This inability to refute the contents of an email spelled disaster in the USA for the Democratic political party during their 2016 presidential campaign.
Apple hasn't gone above and beyond anything here. The only way they can save face is laugh at the government and not give into their demands to set up a backdoor tool to scan every iphone user.

I think the idea is “if everyone is marked for life, no one is”.
you didn't read the article. the author is not making a distinction between intangible value that's useful to the worker vs value that's useful to the customer. they're making a distinction along the axes of intangible/tangible and short/long term, all of which is measured by usefulness to the customer. they're saying to be careful not to destroy long-term intangible value (that's of use to the future customer) in exchange for short term tangible value (also measured by the customer).

> what is the risk of wearing a mask? that you look silly?

Fortunately, "lack of silliness" is not the standard of evidence for a medical intervention.

There are a great many things that we might impose on others that might have some impact. There are, in fact, an infinite number of these things.

Your desire to do these things "just in case" does not justify their imposition on other people. But more importantly: we've had a long time to study this intervention now. Perhaps it's time to gather some actual evidence that it works?

After all, it's not just the question of whether or not I want to do it -- it's the question of whether or not huge number of people are convinced that they're protecting themselves, and somehow behaving differently out of a misguided sense of protection. That matters quite a bit.

> It's rational compassion for me.

No, without evidence, it's just a guess.
Congrats Reddit! They will buy servers for better uptime :)
My understanding is that there isnt a whole lot of established anything re: the 3rd amendment. So...maybe, we can dream?

I think warantless search is a much stronger argument, though.
This is my biggest gripe with Facebook Groups, along with finding old content, but it seems that Facebook is much more niche than Reddit.

For some topics, say a speific car model, I've found that Reddit may have a general subreddit for the manufacturer, or maybe a specific subreddit with a few posts a week, but on Facebook there's a group that has 50 or so posts a day. And then there's often even more specific groups, for say modding or regional groups.
My guess is that the one in a trillion figure includes the threshold that must be exceeded, requiring multiple false positives, bringing the full chance of your account being flagged to 1 in a trillion.
Personally I don't see on device scanning as significantly different than cloud scanning. I think the widespread acceptance of scanning personal data stored on the cloud is a serious mistake. Cloud storage services are acting as agents of the user and so should not be doing any scanning or interpreting of data not explicitly for providing the service to the end user. Scanning/interpreting should only happen when data is shared or disseminated, as that is a non-personal action. But that cat is out of the bag already.

Sure, scanning a personal device vs. data stored in the cloud feels different because you supposedly own the device. But you don't own the software that runs on it, so the distinction seems artificial to me.
Also a brilliant subversion of expectations, given how bleak the rest of the series is.

> They're pretty explicitly telling us what it's for and what it's not for.

Nobody should blindly trust Apple. As an organization, they already love secrecy and shadows--what better place to sneak in and test this kind of feature, free from employee ethics and scrutiny?

They've been cooking this up without telling anyone, which is also indicative of how above board they are. Who knows what else they're doing with this now or will do in the future.

The CIA, FBI, MI6, Mossad, FSB, CCP, et al. will use this to learn more about their targets.
Maybe the calculus does not rely on metronomic time frames but rather historical push-pull factors from surrounding empires? That's the nuanced, complex reality of Afghan history - a place that exists on/as a natural invasion/trade route, much like Laos, Armenia, Poland, etc. The list of rebuffed invaders is long, and we can now add the U.S.A. and its allies who are now leaving. It is, indeed, the graveyard of empires:

It's a good tradeoff since it lets me escape the official Dropbox client trying to upload my drives, photos, etc. to the cloud, and spam me with upsell offers on a daily basis (if you're operating with a nearly full Dropbox in steady-state).
I have been warning my apartment building committee for a while now they need to set aside money for a "every carpark has it's own powerpoint" project.

I mean you could have stuff that requires prs, but you could just use the ui pretty much like a wiki.

1. Go to dev branch

2. Find file and edit it

3. Commit change
That is, it seems like Apple really wanted to preserve "end-to-end" encryption,“ … except they still have not mentioned anything about E2E encryption… and they currently don’t encrypt icloud backups.

You would think apple would get ahead of this story and mention … or maybe they don’t have any E2E plans at all.
I would guess that in both cases, the buyer could have stepped in and said "no, use XYZ escrow service".

The general idea is that the person that pays the fee at closing is the person that gets to choose the service provider.

I could say more about the various "incentives" that some of the service providers offer to be the "default", but, well, I don't want to do that ;)
You can bet they were by the TLA intel agencies, but you will not find that documented anywhere other than "Met with FBI/NSA/XXX for liason purposes". I'm sure they were given an ultimatum and they folded.
Yeah, look all I said that you can interpret this both ways depending on your moral compass, and also based on the ethics of your group / society.
You can argue all you like, but I think this dilemma never has a completely correct answer.
I’ve been using Ubuntu and now pop os on a Thinkpad for a couple years now, and I don’t miss Windows (which I used since…well, DOS 6) at all. Quite the opposite. As time goes on, seeing what’s happening with MacOS and Windows, I’m more and more happy that my computer is actually my computer.

Nah, all those people got a 23&me test and found out they were 1/64th cherokee or whatever, so they put themselves down as "Some Other Race alone or in combination ".

Interestingly, Microsoft has a product called TFS that has a great wiki implementation: it's native markdown (with github enhancements), a decent in-browser editor/viewer, and it's backed by git. Plus it has some nice features that let you refer to people with the at-symbol (@) and work items (bugs, tasks, stories, features, etc) with a hash symbol (#), and some other stuff. Github itself has some of these features; I'm not aware of anything else like it (Tiddlywiki, ignoring it's unusual runtime, may be the closest that I'm aware of).
Huh. I looked at a side by side comparison and I could barely tell the difference. And everything on twitter.com seems legible. I guess I'm not typeface sophisticated enough!

Now the PayPal and Dropbox fonts... those I noticed. And those I loathe entirely.

If I say "Timmy never did well in school" are you going to run up and say that's a bizarre comment because Timmy is an oscar winner?
Perhaps the fundamental flaw in thinking behind this tactical error is that Apple thinks of your iPhone as their iPhone.
Bank problems are adjudicated by courts. You are suggesting that crypto contracts where usage is contrary to intent, not be adjudicated on chain. Then what is the point of on-chain contracts?

The whole point of the on-chain contract is that if the chain permits the action that action is permissible regardless of the contract creators mystical intent.

I have been the victim of a bank error to the tune of $17,100 dollars in their favor. They mistook a $1,900 check for $19,000. Still gave the recipient $1,900 but withdrew $17,100 from my account. When the obvious error was found, they said "tough, sue us". I did and prevailed, the litigation cost ~$6,000 that was not recoverable.
Plenty of apartment buildings don't have a dedicated powerpoint per parking spot.

This can be fixed but in the meantime it is a significant cost for the building. And you bet that early adopters putting in regular powerpoints will be trumped by later installs of dedicated, secured charging stations.

I am not jumping to an EV any time soon.

> Apple requires a specific threshold of matches before a report is triggered

True, but the wording of that condition was very vague... the threshold could be 1.
How about 1980 to 1986 where inflation tanked 90% and M2 started at 8% peaked at over 12% then fell back to 8%. The charts for those years have nothing in common.

I get it, M2 really seems like it should correspond with inflation but at minimum you need to adjust for economic growth. As we produce and consume more we need more money handle those transactions.
My belief is that they're trying to find a way to remain profitable. VCs expect returns, and with Dropbox's main feature now included by many other services like O365 and Drive, I would think that they're finding themselves forced to make such changes whether or not they want to.
It’s only a “farce on borrowed time” because you have the benefit of hindsight.
Patent trolls - I suspect they either settled with or removed a patent infringment. Non Disclosure Agreement prevents them from releasing any information.

Jury's still out on that. Some manufacturers (GM comes to mind) are claiming their next generation batteries won't degrade from constant fast-charging.
Isn't "git undo" a very recent invention? In my experience, people don't upgrade git very often. As for your other comment, see the xkcd reference elsewhere in this thread :)

Welcome to "rejected in voire dire".
Not really you were essentially immune to a lot of the ad spying and individual databases that google built up on you to sell to 3rd parties that advertised to you. Also apps were given much less freedom to spy on you or access your on device file. Apple just threw all the good sentiment they built up over google down the shitter and try to convince us otherwise with "think of the children".
> distasteful

This is the word that most captures my feeling not just around the feature but how it was rolled out as well. Reading the PR announcement and then the leaked memo just felt - quite distasteful.

There are a number of things Apple has done and continues to do that fit into that category for me personally - the fact that iOS is so locked down for example.

But this really takes the cake. It's like someone at Apple dialed up the distasteful to 11 and let loose.

The whole industry does distasteful things but this is a harbinger of our inability to trust them at a deeper level. Not just Apple.
These attempts at guilt-tripping of people with different opinions on society COVID strategy / personal health choices are disgusting and tiresome. You are not their doctor, and even doctor has to respect patients decision.

Vaccines are not the only possible way to behave responsibly, there are several strategies, let people find and follow their own. It's better even for the society, in case the vaccines turn out to not be the silver bullet the media and chinless spivs in governments told us (which it seems is getting more likely these days).
