I'd like to think so, on the basis of negligence both from the police and from the accuser.

The accuser, because they were negligent in 1) securing their files; and 2) making allegations against the victim without appropriate confirmation.

The police, because they were negligent in that they did nothing to verify the allegation before taking some pretty drastic steps (arrest, device seizure) to the detriment of the victim.

However, I'm not aware of any success in this area before. It'd be new legal ground. I'd like to think that there should be some bar of reasonableness in the handling of a "computer crime" where anything below does qualify as negligence - along the same lines as unlawful arrest for any other reason. However I don't think the courts have ever considered such a case. It's impossible to make any claim as to whether compensation is due or not because there's never been an appropriate test case that can be referred to.

Why should they be entusiastic about joining before you even talk to them? That sounds like a chance to sell them on the company.

Why even have recruiters if you're only looking for people that already have enthusiasm to join your company? Just wait for them to come to you then.

Hot tip for IntelliJ users: add your github account to the IDE (in project settings) and the IDE will use an OAuth token for git access on that account.

(I think the way it's structured is that Jetbrains is the OAuth provider, and Github is the relying party, which implies that you need to make sure your Jetbrains account is secure. It also means that if you want the best security you'll stick with the tried-and-true private-key-in-.ssh-public-key-on-remote solution)

Yes, and it literally says "SQL on the web" and "SQLite on the web". Are we really confusing "the web" with "the browser" now, especially since we use "the browser" to implement apps that don't have a need to access "the web"?
CSAM scanning is probably the easiest thing they could do to satisfy this demand, and if you don't use iCloud Photos, you're not affected by it at all.

As far as encrypted backups go, it's an open question whether they want to deal with the legal and support headaches that such a change would bring. If they continued to do nothing, Congress might force their hand by legislatively outlawing stronger encryption - they had to shit or get off the pot.

For users, if you enable this feature, but then lose your password, you are entirely screwed and Apple can't help you. Encrypting "In-transit" as a middle ground is likely good enough for most people, until researchers manage to come up with a better solution.

Why is the contract creator’s intent mystical to you? It’s very clear both from the content of the contract and from the explicit (known) description of the feature.
In this sense, if my Python code has a bug, does it make the intent of it mystical to you (otherwise a perfectly readable, clean code)?

Not everyone in the crypto space subscribes to the absolutely purist point of view that you are expressing. Poly network didn’t say that their code is and forever will be bug free, or that any bug in the future should be treated as intended use. Bugs happen - even very costly bugs like in this instance.

What happened to you is completely unfair, the bank should have repaid the entire amount. However, I don’t see how this justifies the opinion that any use (or misuse) of a contract is permissible. Yes the blockchain should confirm valid transactions. Does this somehow mean that it also validates the fact that money has been stolen? In other words, if I steal your private key and transfer crypto from your wallet, is it still theft or is it ok because the blockchain validated the transaction?
Very sad. An unfriendly move needlessly forcing unnecessary complexity. People should be able to decide this for themselves.

> but marketers will want to play those campaigns very carefully. It wouldn't take much to accidentally end up next to revenge porn that makes the news or something.

Can you elaborate further? why is this the marketer's problem?

why isn't the ad campaigner completely agnostic on where the ad network sends it?

to me, it seems like widespread conjecture. out of the things I've seen people talk about boycotting a brand for, showing up in a banner on a porn site hasn't been one of them. People know how targeting works, their session and the ad networks.

is there a case study supporting marketer's skittishness?

Not true, unless by "having the benefit of hindsight" you mean "having watched Apple's actions for the last few years".

Yes, they do a lot for privacy. But when it comes to their bottom line, they also have a record of compromising on privacy (and consumer rights in general) to preserve business with less than freedom-loving countries such as China, the UAE, Russia.

It is sometimes difficult to criticize them for this because the financial loss to them would be huge if, say, China kicked them out of their market (and utterly devastating if they kicked them out of manufacturing in China), and because people like to make the argument that iOS is (probably) "still the the bets option for privacy in China" - but it doesn't change the fact that in Apple's hierarchy of priorities privacy ranks lower than making money.

To give a concrete example: if Apple allowed sideloading of apps as Android does, Apple would no longer be in the position to remove VPN apps on behest of China - but at the cost of opening up app distribution outside their own store, which means no free rent-seeking income from that anymore. They'd now actually need to compete on providing the best store for developers, which is obviously going to be more work and cost for them. So, instead they choose the "lesser evil" of putting themselves in a position where they are the only thing that stands (or rather: drops dead lie a wet sack) between an authoritarian state and people trying to circumvent that state's surveillance.

It's a good thing Apple shows more Courage(TM) when it truly counts, for instance when it comes to ridding us all of that terrible scourge of human existence, the 3.5mm jack.

> Even if the case is someone else is auditing that code, you’re trusting that person instead of the repository owners.

Suppose Debian's dev process happened at monthly in-person meetings where minutes were taken and a new snapshot of the OS (without any specific attribution) released.

If that were the case, I'd rankly speculate that Debian devs would have misrepresented what happened in the openssl debacle. A claim would have been made that some openssl dev was present and signed off on the change. That dev would have then made a counterclaim that regular procedure wasn't followed, to which another dev would claim it was the openssl representative's responsibility to call for a review of relevant changes in the breakout session of day three before the second vote for the fourth day's schedule of changes to be finalized.

Instead, there is a very public history of events that led up to the debacle that anyone can consult. That distinction is important-- it means that once trust is in question, anyone-- including me-- can pile on and view a museum of the debacle to determine exactly how awful Debian's policy was wrt security-related changes.

There is no such museum for proprietary software, and that is a big deal.

Look I am aware of a host of factors that in theory influence inflation and the multiple different ways it’s measured. I am also perfectly willing to acknowledge there is a connection between M2 and inflation. But, when historical correlations are this weak you can’t suggest A predicts B when it simply hasn’t.
I assume people remember that damn near everything that can be injected or applied has measurable yet small side effects. They do clinical or safety trials for meds and cosmetics to measure them, and many are far higher than COVID vaccines. Many physical activities have significant yet rare risks, childbirth or pregnancy for example. But you can also buy stuff that is not tested, which means you have no real idea of the contents or risks.

The goal now should be to keep the hospital beds available for other things, the reefer trucks doing other things and to remove the naive hosts so that COVID turns into a seasonal concern rather than a pandemic. This will require lots more vaccination, or just the willingness to plow under those whose immune system is too weak or too strong. And those in foreign lands are people also, and they can board planes…
What strong push? You make it sound like not using Github CLI, for example, makes you old school. Cloud9, repl.it etc have been around for a while and are still mostly obscure.

People are still using SVN, Angular.js, Eclipse/vim/Visual Studio and all sorts of good ol' boring tech out there. Even cool kid tech like React or Golang are older than my kids.

Hashicorp stuff seems to be consistently gaining popularity though.
> I’m struggling to see the problem here.

The demand curve would push out dramatically.
But usually the fact the event happened is never in debate: its impact on victims and culprit, and the need for readers to cool down or be offended, is often guiding editorial decision.

For example, Im French and live in China. I read of Nankin in French very neutrally with a small pro chinese bias: it happened "far away" from my original culture, I know it s used a lot in China to remind people of Japan's dark side, Im usually interested in the number of death, disciplinary problems in the japanese army, weakness of the chinese defense system, I feel dejected by the girl hunting and expect Japan to face it upfront.

But I m sure a Japanese has a very different perspective: why did they go to war in the first place, how did it serve as an escape mechanism from the blocus, how today's communist propaganda needs to increase the horror factor, how the former soldiers never speak of it. A Chinese wouldnt even comprehend the existence of such aspects unless very tuned to the Japanese perspective (like how french education now tries to give a german perspective to wwii)

There is a single reality, but truth is the conversion of reality into speech. It s always going to be tainted unless you spend weeks explaining all variations in all parties. Just choosing adjectives in a limited article is going to not represent reality perfectly.

> Are you sure (legally)

> Is your goal that apple

I'm not a lawyer and i want apple to do nothing especially not scan my device.

I'm saying the linked article in discussion says you can't transmit content you KNOW (or suspect) is CSAM. You don't assume that all your customers' content is CSAM, but post-scan, you should assume.

The only legal way to transmit (according to article) is if it's to the government authorities.

I don't know the legal view on the "false positive" suspicion vs legality of transmitting. That's a gamble it seems. I don't have a further opinion on it since IANAL and this is very legal grey area.
An addendum: 1909 would have been when Picasso was in his African Period, and 10 years after the publishing of Conrad's Heart of Darkness, which both presaged French negrophilie and common early-century European attitudes towards Africans - specifically, as representing closer human proximity to nature and passion, and identifying black iconography (from manufactured works like sculpture and dance to the literal absence of light) with such. I wouldn't be surprised if Forster had encountered such sentiments and been influenced by them, for better or worse.

It wasn't and you're mischaracterizing. You haven't seen my comments from last year. Without repeating the arguments, the Economist wrote an article about why measuring inflation is complex and you can't just look at CPI: https://www.economist.com/the-economist-explains/2017/09/05/...

I used GitExtension for years, but then I switched to Linux some years ago, so I had to find an alternative. I used SourceTree for a while, but I hated the UX. I tried GitKraken when it first came out, but it had a lot of issues that didn't make it appropriate for my workflow. After a couple more years, GitKraken had improved enough that I was able to switch to it. I've been using it for maybe 4 or 5 years now.

Woops, you're right, thanks for the correction.

I think the issue is that, as Ben Thompson pointed out, the only thing preventing them from scanning other stuff now is just policy, not capability, and now that Pandora's box is open it's going to be much more difficult to resist when a government comes to them and says "we want you to scan messages for subversive content".

And creation of hydrocarbons consumes it, so it all evens out in the long run. The problem is that we're digging up deposits hundreds of millions of years old, so evening out over the long run means atmospheric CO2 goes back to what it was back then, which is much higher. But if you burn vegetable oil that you only grew this year, that doesn't emit any net CO2.
Why is it so hard to step up voltage efficiently? 120VAC is already AC, so a simple transformer can boost it to e.g. 480VAC easily, and then you have the same AC to DC problem that a native 480VAC charger would have.

At least for li-ion, the infrastructure problem isn't too terrible, as most cars will have an endpoint with high-voltage, i.e. the workplace.
