If only there was some kind of extensible system that would allow for people to enter into contracts with the protections they desire. One might even call these contracts "smart", and could include the ability for a trusted third party (or collection of third parties) to provide a trusted role in approving the transaction. If only such technology existed.
Interesting and good point!

The bank records usually include a file number reference, but obviously less detailed.

Apple has stated point-blank that the only source of CSAM content to generate the hash list will be NCMEC and other child safety organizations.

While I fully admit that NCMEC could do a better job with transparency and auditing, they are currently being used by several other platforms right now (Facebook, Google, Microsoft) without issue.

Could bad actors inject hashes of non-CSAM content into the database somehow? Well even if they could do this, Apple employes human reviewers who must visually confirm that the flagged photo contains actual CSAM before they report the image. If the image does not contain CSAM, Apple is under no legal obligation to report it.

Public anecdata from leetcode/teamblind shows that FAANG hiring rate after those 'virtual on-sites' is a single digit percentage. So it looks like a number game indeed.

Sure, and for my part, I'm not OK w/ the current reality as you describe it and would strongly consider voting for an AG candidate with a platform that included going after shady LLCs.
It won't always add more confusion. Some non-developers are familiar with security. For them, they might be glad to see they aren't typing their password into a program, just like they know they shouldn't be entering their password to get twitter stats.
you guys are kind of using NPV ambiguously. You mean that when you retire at 38, the NPV of your retirement plan at that point (for when you are 39, 40, ... etc.) is $1.3M, and if you haven't retired yet then it's really a FV? what discount rate are you using?

or did you mean the NPV when joining at age 18 is... see what I mean?

We weren't using fonts at all. Graphic design was done with stick-on lettering, not with computers. The type catalogs of the day offered a fairly typical selection of the styles used.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/27088565@N07/2582809036/in/pho...

But most people paid designers instead of trying to DIY it, because place and paste was a difficult job.

I discovered type in the late 70s through these catalogs and I was instantly fascinated by the way the shapes of the letter designs somehow managed to imply mood, context, and meaning.

I still don't understand it, and I'm not sure anyone does. Professional designers understand it intuitively, but there's no definitive manual that describes how you get from a shape to an association.

Even with Eurostile - it's been used in science fiction for so long it wins by association. But it's only there because it works so well. Blocky, clean, functional, sans serif only gets you so far when you're trying to understand why.

It's hard to imagine doing the signage on a spaceship with Monotype Corsiva or Caslon. Of course you could... but not without generating severe cognitive dissonance.

It’s clearly meant for a commercial or a funded setting. As a hobbyist even if you have a bunch of SBC’s you need flashed like if you are building a Pie cluster for some reason or you have a bunch of them for automation you still would only do this once, so it taking 10min or an hour isn’t a big deal.

If you are pumping out 100’s or 1000’s of these a week yet alone a day you are probably making money of it or supporting an activity that does.

Sure, but are any serious policy wonks actually saying tech is all white males?

That, and the most famous faces (on the evening news) of tech ARE largely white males. Gates, Jobs, Musk, Zuckerberg, etc. So a casual observer might not realize there really are a lot of minorities at all levels of tech.
wait there is another way?
Me neither. I used to trust them to do the right thing for their customers but not anymore.
It is very far fetched. The system matches copies of specific photos, not subject matter like “baby taking a bath”.
But Apple says, "You need several hash matches to trigger a review." See, that makes it OK!
My bet it was the US government. Predicted fallout doesn’t seem something Apple would do themselves with no monetary gain.
In my corporate experience, I have only seen people care about diversity based on irrelevant characteristics (race, gender, etc). Nobody wants diversity of thought.

An example that I expect will get me in trouble: when a woman exhibits traditionally masculine characteristics at work - assertiveness etc, it can get looked at badly. And people say "oh well if a man did that, it would be ok", and use it as an example of sexism. I like working with women, and I reject any notion of stereotypes about how a woman should act, but a woman acting the same as the other male douchebags doesn't add any diversity, she's just another annoying person I have to manage. I'd rather have someone bring a unique and different temperament to work, which could even include being helpful and caring instead of combative with a chip on their shoulder. So maybe if people want to be valued for the diversity of their contributions, they should actually act "diverse" and not conform to the lowest common denominator of corporate behavior.
While I don't expect any Linux phone to become "mainstream" any time soon, it would be good if we had at least one "polished" alternative available.

PinePhone is still in beta and according to its own creators "aimed solely at early adopters"[1], while Librem 5 is experiencing supply chain issues with backorder shipping now scheduled to resume in October[2]

There is a version of the Librem 5 which is made in USA and it's in stock and shipping now, but unfortunately outside of my budget[3].

I was also considering getting something like Fairphone and installing an alternative OS but looking at compatibility charts there are some things that may not work with one OS or another.

So, right now I can't have a daily driver that is not iOS or Android, I will hold onto my very old smartphone and hope that things will change in the next year or so. I'm working from home for the foreseeable future so I can wait a bit.

I feel like this is a false sense of security. Even before this change, they can easily access and scan photos on your device. If they do any post-processing of the image on device, they already do.
Is it really E2EE if there is an MITM application scanning and reporting everything?????

Seems like the existence of this scanning agent by default makes it not E2EE anymore
Yup. That's what happens when the country is ran by a bunch of old lawyers.
It’s so it’s easy for jounos to copy paste the press release. You see it a lot with politicians also.
My understanding is that some small telecoms run fiber directly into new condo buildings in downtown Toronto and get a foothold that way. The argument from big telecom is that it's extremely expensive to build infrastructure in rural Canada, so obviously don't start there.

Maybe also reach out to this guy[0] for advice. This is if you're planning on building your own infrastructure.

Another option is just rent the existing infrastructure like TekSavvy does. The business then becomes largely a matter of providing better customer support than the competitors (and honestly, beating Rogers at it is a very very low bar). But I imagine this isn't what you have in mind when you say "disrupt".

It's likely that we will have a ton of excess capacity because solar is so cheap.

These are all solvable problems. Christopher Clack has been doing global optimizations for renewable grids for a long time, and finds that lots of upgrades to the distribution grid today, along with additions of storage and distributed solar, is a surprising cost optimal route.

People always doubt the new, but it's really hard to prove that it's not possible. And once it's done, it will seem obvious in retrospect.
I like to keep my 2-factor generator separate. There are already a lot of keys in my 1password kingdom. Good to keep some things in a different safe.
I put quotes around them because they aren't actually planned. They're officially and canonically called "planning" codes but no real long term urban planning is involved. It's more short term satisfaction planning and not the kind of actual planning that goes on in other places like say China or Tokyo. Now you know why.

>Part of the problem is that presently walkable cities don't have walkable codes, so as they expand or even replace old buildings they become more car centric

Unlikely a city doesn't convert a high density building into a low density building because of a remodel. People really need to leave the city in droves for this to happen.

What you're referring to is NEW cities or new expansions.

Somerville is like a one off. It's also not really a walkable city like Tokyo or Hong Kong is. It's more like a walkable town or village.
Or when the NSA feeds your texts through their ML and into their DB it's not a "search" because humans haven't gone looking for it.

How many government bodies are you connected to? Can you use your platform even if they do not use it?

Sorry, to be more precise, I'm seeing in total roughly:
- 6.8% old reddit
- 5.8% mobile web
- 72% new reddit
- 15.6% reddit apps
Reporting to the government doesn't make you a government agent, doing the search at the direction of the government does.

If a private citizen, on their own initiative, searches your house, finds contraband, and reports it to the government, they may be guilty of a variety of torts and crimes (both civil and criminal trespass, among others, are possibilities), there is no fourth amendment violation.

If a police officer asks them to do it, though, there is a different story.
It is quite good but it is also quite slow compared to BBC BASIC on the 2 MHz 6502-based BBC Micro.
> because a person will look at your picture(yes, a random person somewhere will look at the pictures of your newborn)

No. If the number of matches to known CSAM in your library exceeds a threshold, then a person will look at a "visual derivative" of only those pictures whose perceptual hatch match that of known CSAM.

Note that, if I understand correctly, pictures that Android users sync to Google have already been scanned for some time. Where are all those false positives?
Amazing and very cool! A couple of questions, if you can share at this time, since this resonates with my interests.

- Which patient/donor cell type are these immune organoids derived from?

- Are the organoids made with induced pluripotent stem cell technology?

- What is part of the workup post treatment, e.g. histology, NGS? If NGS, what kind (WGS, WES, RNASeq) and technologies (Illumina, PacBio, ONT)?

- Are you looking for mutations from the drug and vaccine treatment (e.g. comet assay, Duplex-Seq)?
You are right, he wasn't charged. He was arrested. I was wrong about that.
I am not a Lawyer, but my understanding is:

The wording of the CSAM law is that content should be scanned when uploaded. That condition "upon upload" triggers the 3rd party doctrine.

Apple has gone above and beyond here, not the actual US gov. So, the bill of rights doesn't apply to Apple's decision to scan content on device, just before it is uploaded.
It is curious that particular notion keeps getting repeated ad nauseam given it makes zero sense.

It's coming exclusively from Apple fans desperate to give them the benefit of the doubt on this rather epic implosion of Apple's brand when it comes to privacy.

So many people hooked themselves up to the Apple-is-pro-privacy wagon. They invested into the ecosystem across the board. They've been swimming in Apple's products & services pool for years or decades. Apple just went from hero to maybe villain on privacy. So now many of those people that are getting screwed over by Apple are going to be emotional about it, irrational about it, in denial about it.

It won't be used nefariously in the future. It won't be expansive, it'll remain the very limited program they say it is today. It won't be abused around the world by authoritarian governments. One of the greatest potential surveillance tools ever deployed and it won't be rampantly abused by the world's most powerful governments and agencies (all of which are hungry to spy on their citizens and or other nation's citizens). Yeah right.

Except we already HAVE massive demand for blue/gray hydrogen (for fertilizer and steel), and the infrastructure for electric vehicles (cars, trains, and trucks) is FAR cheaper than it is for hydrogen. It doesn’t make sense to invest in expensive dead-end infrastructure when we know it is fundamentally, significantly less efficient from a physics standpoint.

I used to use Ubuntu for many years, but it became a such bloatware. So many things what you don’t really need.

Packages were sometimes also different compared to vanilla Debian. This caused issues in stability (talking more about feature set). Some advanced software just did not work, which worked on equivalent vanilla Debian.

I might recommend Ubuntu for very beginner developer, but not to stick with it longer time. It will give you headache. There are also more privacy-friendly distributions.
There are two things that make me think this will be walked back.

Firstly, and most importantly, this kind of backdoor is the kind of thing that makes big corps prohibit the use/purchases of devices.

Secondly, it seems rife for abuse: dont like someone who uses an ios device, msg them some cp and destroy their entire life.
Most modern credential managers for git understand GitHub logins. If you copy and paste the HTTPS address for a GitHub repo (rather than the git ssh git: address) a git credential manager will give you a GitHub login dialog (classic username/password dialog with optional 2FA check) and then do the dance for you to get (and securely cache) an access token for you. No SSH key management required and the flow still feels similar (you type your username and password into the web browser wrapped as a dialog box with the GitHub logo and address).

Git for Windows and most Linux distributions of git today include such a credential manager out of the box. Generally the only thing that needs to change to move to that workflow is adjust the muscle memory to grab HTTPS addresses, not git: addresses. (Which shouldn't be an issue for new people learning it for the first time, and GitHub's own UI has worked to get better at pushing the HTTPS links first.)

Bitcoin Is Not for You If You Suffer from One of These 4 Problems
In reality, the fact that they do the scanning on-device is actually better privacy-wise. But I can see how instinctually it “feels” wrong.
Firstly, all those logs can be easily falsified and you're got absolutely no clue at all what that company showed to the police to convince them.

So get off your extremely manufactured high horse.

Secondly, even if you could somehow wave a magic wand and know the logs were real, you're approaching this as an expert and not as a layman.

A crime was reported, it was followed up, an arrest was made (maybe that means something different in America? It's just an arrest). No charges were levied, now the company that reported it look like fools in national news.

They'll not be pulling this shit again.
This was such a weird way for them to announce that they’re no longer pursuing privacy as a differentiation strategy.
But when the available workforce nowhere near matches general demographics, you have to dig a little deeper. Why are there so few blacks, females, or whoever else entering the industry?
This isn’t true. With a large enough sample size almost all long-term effects become short-term.

Very few long-term diseases are long-term because of a deterministic countdown. Rather, they’re the result of a small but long-lived cumulative probability. The cancer that takes twenty years to show up is caused by the persistent 0.17% chance of a malignant tumor every month.

But the upshot is that if you start with a sample size of 100,000 people, the cancer risk will be glaringly obvious in the first month.
I don't think that's a fair extension. The two concepts are really different, and neither is a more broad version of the other.
Github has a really great guide for getting started here: https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/c...

It probably feels really unnecessary to newcomers though. I haven’t used Github Desktop in a long time but I feel like this would be perfect for a Git client to handle. It’ll fill in the “it’s just like Dropbox but for code” mental space.
> that I think it's more correct than "mean squared error". You should change that example.

Thank you for the feedback.

> - The code is called l2, which stands for "linear regression."

If you can give me the full explanation, I can see what I can do to improve the accuracy there. (It's needed for debugging.)

Over time, more data will be added in the future so that accuracy and detail improves.
Talk to an IT lab manager in a school how much time they might spend on flashing cards, or an SBC reseller or a business that does IOT integration…

It’s not even about can you keep up with the rate manually it’s about is it cost effective, $1000 is what 50 hours at $20 per hour? That thing pays for itself in any setting.
Has anyone ever fixed this? It would be cool if they managed to speed it up some as well. Of course there is TurboBASIC XL but it isn't ROM-able.
Not to sound dismissive but I am glad you are noticing this since us non-Citizens also have to fill the crazy FATCA forms like criminals and we have to swear we are OK according to some US law that some of us can't even read.

So, yeah, thanks US for making our EU bureaucracy a bit stuffier!

I wonder how US Citizens would feel about filling a form for the Chinese state with each financial institution. They would say it's an insult! Because it is.

I wonder if there was some part of COVID-19 besides the spike protein we could have used that would have resulted in fewer problems.
AFAICT, they are not. But if you have evidence that this is government directed (reporting results tonthe government isn’t sufficient for the private party’s action to be “on behalf of” government for Constitutional purposes), please, present it.
The hover text is really good for this one too:

Like any other vaccine, I weighed the risk vs benefit and took the odds and got vaccinated. I'm for vaccination. I'm not for forcing vaccines upon a population who are hesitant for their own reasons for something that so far, is a relatively mid-level virus. If this were the plague, I'd want more stringent enforcement, given the same vaccine odds.

That said, I hope Twitter et al don't knee jerk react-to this and block discussion just because it would counter their preferred narrative.
But that's also a side effect for the majority of people who contract COVID, no?
And as long as people keep buying them up for investments, keep building more. Just keep taking their money, and keep building enough that their investment keeps going down in value. Eventually they'll stop. And along the way, you'll also help people who can't afford housing.

There are two problems with this approach. One, a whole lot of people have the value of their home as part of their retirement plan. If you start driving that down as a deliberate policy, they aren't going to be happy. Two, we're currently facing a major shortage of building materials.
I don't know what you want me to respond with, what you're writing is a strawman, it's not what I wrote anywhere.
There’s your answer in the question, why you used the word “exclusively.”
Almost every single one.

Facebook checks for potential CSAM when you upload from your client device (sometimes an iphone) to their servers or after it's on their system and a user flags it.

Instagram also check once you upload.

These are all transmissions.

Apple checks if you upload. If you don't upload or attempt to upload to their servers, no check.

All these are to flag potential CSAM. Some do more - nudity in general, harmful content filters etc. Some is auto blocked, some is forwarded for review and report etc.

In almost all cases flagging is part of or connected to uploading to a third parties servers. The flagging for CSAM is not a conviction - some do and some don't do a human review before submission. Most situations where folks can use flagging to hide content get a human review at some level to avoid abuse of the flagging system itself.
That was when I left Reddit. I felt like censoring from r/all is not what I want from r/all. To me that means every subreddit except quarantined subreddits. Once they started down that road I took off and haven’t been back.
