Prior to 911, hijackers took over planes for ransom. 911 was a zero day exploit. The opportunity to use hijacked planes as weapons ended with flight 93.
What happened to it being USA only?

This sounds like one of those errors where they double down on it and call it a "solution".

Sounds like they're misunderstanding people's concerns pretty badly. Sorry if we miscommunicated. Kill this "feature" yesterday. Thanks Tim!
I'm unsure what your point is. Care to explain?

Is that meant to be a counterargument? (just because the USA downplayed it doesn't make CCP's doing so better, especially since they had advance knowledge and could have potentially completely prevented the global pandemic, while when it was in the USA, it was already global, even if lesser) Are you agreeing with me but adding that the USA isn't faultless? (Its true, but I don't know how its relevant to what I said) I really have no idea what you're trying to say.
It's been a long time since I watched that talk, but I seem to remember that about 40 minutes in he has a moment where he remembers that there's another Michael Jackson and apologizes for the confusion.
I have something pretty similar that I built some time ago for personal use: listen to articles while I am working on things and can't dedicate my attention to anything else. I've been wondering if I should open source it(shove it all into a docker container that people can use locally). I would have loved to be able to publish it as a service but two things are stopping me: 1 is cost to run this and 2 is potential licensing issues I might face with it. But open source... And it runs pretty smoothly on a CPU(albeit a 14-core xeon and an 11-th gen i7).
Every Unix machine (Mac or Linux) that I've ever tried to use nano on has had it preinstalled. I'm sure not all of them have it preinstalled, but it's common at least in mainstream distros
> I can see that you are uninterested in engaging in good faith, because instead of keeping the debate to what it was about (the lab leak theory) you're changing the goalposts (demanding that everything he say be absolutely clear and never wrong or stupid, apparently in contrast to every other president before him [1]).

No, a third grader can easily explain to you why when somebody has a long and detailed history of being completely and utterly full of shit, whatever they say going forward will barely be considered to be not full of shit, for whatever roundabout reasons and circumstances.

>are only interested in ignoring reality.

You're trolling on HN. Stop trolling on HN.
You put forth a quasi-patriotic interpretation and a false premise, as the true benefactors of attacks on the 1st world have long been indicated (though not officially confirmed) to state sponsored groups in Saudi Arabia. Yet there they still stand, completely untouched by the quagmire that was Afghanistan and Iraq for the past 20 years.

Secondly, we gave an entire generation of orphaned children (now adults at this point) all the more reason to focus their rage and frustration at the United States.

I'm not sure what the net effect of all this is down the road, but I don't think it will be a case of these nations fearing the first world. Quite the opposite I think.
Yes. 92.0a1.
Two important things came out of 9/11: cockpit doors are closed and locked now, and people fight back against hijackers. In 1968-72 there was a skyjacking every 6 days[0] but they were extortion attempts or plots to get a free flight to Cuba or some such thing. We now think that the endgame of a hijacking is that the hijackers will turn the plane into a suicide bomb, and passengers know NOT to be cooperative. These are real security improvements to air travel.

Yup, anything sensitive should be encrypted but defense in depth is the name of the game.
Outrageous, this can't be!
But seriously, it is saddening sometimes to see so much mindshare and engagement wasted on poorly thought out "solutions" to whatever issue is currently trending on Twitter. Even worse, the constant social media outrage machine seems to reduce the inherent kindness that most people have in them (before discovering Twitter).
Well, to be fair, you can't see curvature with your own eyes like you can an asteroid, at least not feasibly/easily. Your ancestors lived in a world where thinking it was round was stupid..
Where are the author’s raw notes, false starts, and ultimately discarded segments for this article?

Removing uninteresting cruft before publishing is a good idea, and rebase is a good tool for achieving that.
Severe loss of marketshare? It wouldn't even register.

I don't like the feature. Putting this on the client device is dubious and should never have made it past the brainstorming stage.

Having said that, technology companies, big and small, are bound in the US to do this. By law. If anything Apple was by far the laggard of the bunch (with reporting counts magnitudes lower than peers, despite a larger customer base). As I said in another comment, no company can protect you from your government.

Much has been made about it being on device, which while a serious optics issue...the hot takes being given on here are manifestly absurd. Like, literally the company that holds all of your data, all of your passwords, all of your info and you need to invent slippery slopes to imagine up what they "might" do?

If they want to have their way with your data, they could have been doing it for decades.

They should never have announced two very different systems at the same time. Contrary to some of the insincere claims given in this very thread, there is massive disinformation and confusion about them. In the end I feel like 98% of the "the end is nigh!" comments are by long time Apple detractors who just see this glorious opening.

And while I still hope that Apple says "Mea culpa, we're just going to scan on the ingress to iCloud Photos", whatever they do in a month this is going to be completely forgotten.
Usually not, sometimes very much so.
Looks like you're right. I edited my comment. It looks like there's a couple fairly different changes that are happening:

- There's a system to catch CSAM that is either PhotoDNA or something that works similarly.

- There's a system to detect novel nudes, and notify parents if their children view them.

I think I got these two mixed together.
Aren't languages just tools, too?
Outside of corner cases, most of the things that become the focus of tech religious wars make fairly marginal difference compared to other factors, like proper design, testing, documentation, etc. (Corner cases do exist, however; no one wants to write a compiler in brainfuck). I definitely tend toward a view of do the work, boring stuff included, in whatever text editor, IDE, and language floats your boat.
> without the need for intervention by members of the programming guild.

"Self" learning is a pipe dream. You are always being guided. Be it statically and indirectly by the tutorial writer, the comments of the youtube tutorial, or some discord community helping you out. This is not a bad thing. Stop acting like I'm advocating for some evil elite.

> Not everyone needs to master programming, they need to achieve a goal

Great! For them exists python.

> if only the manner of interfacing and directing a computer were not unnecessarily arcane.

I agree that it would be a net win if the likes of linux tutorials stopped using vim. Once we look past that we can see there are plenty of ides out there today that perform the function of the article's subject. Underlining faulty expressions, suggestions on how to fix it, a nice debug output at the bottom.

> It's about people who need to get shit done

You need a good baseline. You just do. Plenty of people won't do their own plumbing either. It would take a bit of time to learn the basics to fix your sink (python script), but to become someone who can design the pipage in a building ("business software")? That just takes time and experience. No way around it.
Right, so you gets to pay the dev fees to have your code signed. That's why I specifically stated not-for-profit could use "free" code signing. If you're making money off of the software, pay the fees required as part of the business.

Doesn’t POSIX designate vi as a requirement?

https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6880751
CSAM is a hash database. The images are converted to a hash and then compared to the hashes of known pornography of children, not directly viewed.

The weirdly less discussed aspect of this is that anyone who is storing their images of any kind on someone else’s computer and network thinks that nothing could have been viewed before. If Apple or Google or Amazon want to scan the data you store with them they could be doing it, so if that was a concern for a person from the get go then they wouldn’t have been storing their data with third parties to begin with.
In "linux embedded", absolutely. You take what's there. At some point I even had a debugging session through TeamViewer connected to a Windows machine which had Terraterm open connected to serial port of a linux box. Unfortunately, there was a lot of spam on the serial port, so even using vi was impossible, because the screen got garbled pretty fast. So I printed the files with cat, worked out a set of sed commands to get those files to the desired state and typed them back in. Crazy. But real.

(Add to that communicating with a guy on-site over notepad.exe. Mr. Robot vibes.)

POCKETCHIP2 – Made in USA
then let it be another Saigon, what alternative did the US have than pull out? If you know anybody in the military they all say it's worse than it was years ago and only continuing to get worse

so the only option was pull out or continue with the sunk cost fallacy of thinking we can somehow fix Afghanistan by doubling down with another troop surge. I'm glad we are finally admitting it was a failure
Yeah. "Dear debtor countries, the attached file contain hashes of new files deemed illegal for the harmonious well-being of peoples for this month, please enter them into your databases."
If allegations of Russian and Chinese support of the Taliban is true, it’s reasonable to be wary that foreign nation-state agents could acquire the hardware. Better to sabotage the hardware just in case they have the compute resources to break the encryption.
It should be obvious by now that Apple has been coerced into building this scanning system, and the CSAM scanning is just the front for a much more broad "national security" backdoor. Apple's PR team has surely been shitting bricks for the entire week--this is the worst PR debacle they've had since the iPhone 4 Antennagate in 2010.
In Japanese it's バグ ("bagu"), "a fault or defect in a computer program".

A funny slang term is バグる ("baguru") - it's an artificially constructed verb that means "to behave buggily", often used to describe when a game or software glitches.
How many politicians built their careers on the blood spilt in this pointless and expensive exercise?

Overthrowing governments is awful foreign policy. This was never going to work, just like it didn't in Iraq, Iran, Vietnam, the Congo, Guatemala, Syria and elsewhere.

Here's the kicker: the invasion of Iraq was based on a convenient lie by hawks who had been keen to overthrow Saddam Hussein ever since the First Gulf War. This convenient lie was easily debunked to. It's really simple.

If Saddam Hussein had WMD, why wouldn't he give them up to save himself and his regime? Invasion clearly wasn't an empty threat and that would not end well for him. Hussein was never a religious ideologue. He didn't dream of martyrdom or jihad. He was a self-serving dictator (creates by the US I might add as a tool against Iran in the 1980s in a war that resulted from a revolution against the Shah, a government created by the US; are you beginning to see the pattern?). The only explanation was that Iraq did not in fact have WMDs.

People pointed out in the early days after 9/11 so this isn't some kind of historical revisionism. None of this ever made sense.
The information about what is checked by this mechanism is well documented.

If you want to say that Apple could be lying or mistaken about what the code does, that is a different claim from whether they have documented what I said they documented.
It might be a bit more complicated once you hear about the story of Adam and Eve, among other sometimes contradictory stories. Was free will given at creation, or maybe after they ate that one apple? Even old Stoics grappled with a variation of the problem[1], but most religious people I think follow an understanding that free will was conferred to humans and that can allow you to disobey god's plan, but that it ultimately will not end well and/or is futile against the predetermined and eventual good outcome.

Wow you're right - over the past 9 days zepto's generated ~5 pages of comments defending Apple's scanning. Why would one dedicate so much time and effort to rise to the defense of a trillion dollar company?
An easy (and fun) way to get better at vim and learn some of its features is to play vimgolf [1]. After you submit you can see solutions which are slightly better than yours, and run them through to see what each command does.

I wish vim had the option for CTRL-K/U behavior rather than having to do the unintuitive (to me) visual block.
I met a former Afghani interpreter working as an Uber driver in Minneapolis a few years ago, really nice guy. It was during the superbowl, we had a mutual misunderstanding of the appeal of American football. He was going to school and supporting himself driving. A few have had good outcomes but the stories you hear about those waiting years for immigration and many others who were killed for helping the US while waiting... it's just shameful.
Translating from corporatese: "Apple hasn't given up the idea and is looking for a better excuse to push their surveillance solution."
Didn't you hear? The sea level will rise to an untenable level by 1975! We must shut down our society completely!
Anything similar for Windows?
My first read on your comment was the tone in it is inflammatory and designed to provoke vs make a point or a validate argument. That is likely why you were downvoted. I can very much be accused of doing the same thing in some of my comments on emotional topics and in general the results are not as good as if I had framed things as a statement or a question without being emotional. YMMV.
With this much bad PR (and Apple hates bad PR), why is Apple pretty much holding its position?
POSIX doesn't say anything about containers.
>God does follow his logic, including his logic that people remain free of his own coercion.

Again this makes no sense, he created everything, the rules of the universe, how our minds operate, there is nothing free from his coercion unless you are saying there is something he didn't create?

>God does not blame you. Never has anyone entitled God a 'blamer'. God does not even punish. Satan is the accuser (In fact that's another name for him), not God.

Genesis 3:13

>To the woman he said,

>“I will make your pains in childbearing very severe;
with painful labor you will give birth to children.

>Your desire will be for your husband,
and he will rule over you.”

>To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’

>“Cursed is the ground because of you;
through painful toil you will eat food from it
all the days of your life.

That sure sounds like blame and punishment to me and thats just the very beginning.

>If my child decides to abandon this teaching and instead decides to become a drug addict, they cannot blame me for punishing them. They have punished themselves by turning away from my teachings.

You did not design your children or the universe in which they live, God however supposedly did, there is no other place for blame to go. He's is the alpha and the omega, you as a parent are not, there are many outside influences that can be blamed including your children's choices since you did not design their brain, you are only an influence on them among many.
Maybe I am just from a different cultural background, but I do not understand half of the abbreviations here. Could you help clarifying what you are saying?
Thanks. I didn’t know they had said so explicitly. That is helpful extra context.

> I really hope it won't be another Saigon, the videos coming out of the final days are harrowing.

Unless Biden changes course, it's going to be another Saigon, whether the pictures show it or not (e.g. they may get the Americans out before the Taliban is too close, and avoid pictures of throngs of desperate allies mobbing the embassy hoping to get evacuated with the last Americans, but most of those allies will still be stranded).
Is the substrate glass? Does it shatter when you drill the hole? If so, drilling might be fairly good.
This is why I admired TempleOS, which confronted these some of these questions and tackled it from the ground up. Why should it be hard to program graphics to the screen? It shouldn't be more than one code include, if any. Why plaintext source code, and not hypertext? Etc.
How did they manage to get so many basic facts wrong in one article? Anyone whose used a lithium ion battery in bellow freezing temperatures knows that it has a huge impact on the battery capacity.
The news coverage has a bit of a vibe of "Things are going south, what are we going to do about it?"

I think the "What are we going to do about it" is implied by not having a conclusion attached to all the "bad" news. But isn't the rapid Taliban takeover 100% proof that we didn't build any sort of sustainable alternative while we were there?
> Little did I know how Microsoft was totally incapable to execute anything <<mobile>>.

Fixed that for you.
There's no evidence for the counter argument either, but to believe that we have to accept the big coincidence that it happened to start in the one city where they were studying that exact virus.

I'm not saying that this means it was definitely a lab leak. It absolutely doesn't, without further evidence, but discounting it completely, especially given how suspicious the CCP acted around it (why wait an entire year before letting the WHO investigate and then only for a few hours? why silence scientists and doctors?), is equally silly.

There's no evidence it was a lab leak, there's no evidence that it wasn't either. There's some circumstantial data to suggest that the CCP isn't a trustworthy source. That's all we know.

Yes its silly to assume that it was a lab leak. But its also silly to assume that it wasn't. We don't know what it was.
Anyone have theories/guesses on how the Taliban are able to pull this off?

I would expect that a group that has been hunted for 2 decades to be only just barely managing to survive - how do they have weapons, transportation, logistics etc to be able to basically get their act together like the past 20 years never happened?
But your containers may be a bit weird if their environment isn’t POSIX.

Like if you removed the “cd” command or the ability to read environment variables. “Containers” is any definition you want, but surely they’re built to some standard.

PS: I do make “from scratch” images a lot, I know you don’t “need” to have any utilities at all, but I’m fairly certain that a lot of software expects the “OS” to be POSIX.
Potentially something like a national security letter and they can’t reveal the real reason behind it. I agree this feature is off-brand for Apple and came out of the blue.
Should every minecraft server be checking if any arbitrary sequence of blocks on that server can encode to a binary representation of CSAM which when hashed matches something in the NCMEC database?

You could argue that a minecraft server is technically in possession of CSAM if that's the case, but you could spend an infinite amount of money looking at various possible sequences and are bound to find many more false positives than true positives.

Services should have a duty to report CSAM when they notice it, but the lengths they should go to search for CSAM should be limited by cost/benefit and privacy concerns.
Many years ago, perhaps in the mid-90s, a friend of mine proposed starting an outfit that made "Boo-Boo Bears," teddy bears that had casts, crutches, and other injury-healing themes intended for hospitalized children.

Then he discovered Hanna-Barbera owned the BooBoo Bear trademark and he gave up on the idea. I always thought that it was a good idea upon which he gave up too easily.
Completely agree. A friend of mine asked what was happening, and I just said "it's a big deal, biggest thing in a long time". Antennagate is a good comparison -- though this seems bigger. Impacts of Antennagate long term seemed minimal.
It was not universally "understood" because it was not universally agreed upon. To wit:

* It was not universally understood that this would only apply to photos sent to iCloud.

Since the scanning doesn't happen on iCloud, this distinction is irrelevant.

"We are going to intrusively scan the subset of your photos that you care enough to back up to the cloud that we've been pushing to you for years" is pretty clear.

* It was not universally understood that this was only looking for previously known CSAM.

It was only looking for whatever is in an opaque database which, according to a third party we don't have any contract with, contains CSAM.

* It was not universally understood that they were using some sort of hash matching so photos you took yourself would not trigger the system.

Yeah right, I feel totally safe knowing that I won't be falsely reported to FBI by a "some sort of" hash matching.

Here's a hash function: f(x) = 0 for all x

It's "some sort of" hash, too.
KSA hasn't attacked us. That's like saying the US attacked the UK because some Americans financially and materially supported the IRA.
Makes me miss the days of phpBB.
It's a policy decision, while the technical one is still there, unchanged.
Yeah, I dislike Apple and want them to have less marketshare, but I doubt they will even lose 1% of revenue over this.
Disregarding that nonsense, I really have to ask something - when you say “better men” in your profile, are you referring to yourself?

I wonder if the reason the US elites are moving to NZ is these heat waves: perhaps modeling revealed that most of the US will become uncomfortably hot and humid in the next decade or so, while NZ will stay cool.
The 3000 troops aren't solely to hold the embassy, they're to hold the Kabul airport, and to handle the evacuation of diplomats and Afghans who assisted the US, such as translators and non-diplomatic embassy staff.

3000 staff is tiny percentage of the staff of an international airport, even a small one.

> The troops, consisting of two Marine battalions and one Army battalion, will be based at the Kabul airport. They will provide security for an airlift that will fly out U.S. diplomats, as well as Afghans who have worked with the U.S., and the family members of those Afghans.

There's no money in it. It's dead on arrival.

I'd be glad to be proven wrong.
Ah, I don't know... I don't depend on an IDE, they just make things much quicker and easier for me.

And let's say I do depend on one.. it's not like I'm going to be dropped at a computer where I'm not allowed to use an IDE... but it would just take a day to adjust.

For me, anyway.
