The latter two subreddits really do have excellent content, they are worth checking out.

/r/legaladvice is so bad there is actually a subreddit dedicated to discussing what's posted there, /r/bestoflegaladvice. There's more attorneys in that sub than the actual legal advice sub, where a surprising amount of advice is either blatantly wrong or essentially "just tell the police everything, they'll help."

/r/audiophile and /r/wine are two other well moderated subreddits, where the discussion has remained relatively focused and high quality even as the communities have grown, because the moderators aggressively prune low-effort and unrelated content. There was big drama, once upon a time, when /r/audiophile banned anything headphone related.

From the interview I linked, Apple Privacy head Erik Neuenschwander said, “The hash list is built into the operating system, we have one global operating system and don’t have the ability to target updates to individual users and so hash lists will be shared by all users when the system is enabled.”

Split wood not atoms.
Just so folks know, you can still use personal access tokens, which basically work as per-application passwords. For someone just getting started with git, I'd recommend they go to https://github.com/settings/tokens, generate a token, and then they can just use that as their password when running `git clone`.

This will certainly be a little more difficult for newcomers, and not very discoverable, but it is there.
Maybe get the hash database and create a trove of clean documents that force a hash collision and overload the system with false positives. Maybe also add something about the Fourth Amendment in the documents for good measure.
We just have to normalize it.

Passwords were useful until better alternatives were available, and are around now to satisfy authentication based on 'something you know'. As long as the necessity is to verify something you know or something you have, a private key can be more convenient.

People who prefer to enter through doors by entering a PIN instead of using a metal key will disagree.

The thing left to do is make maintaining this private key as frictionless as adding a metal key to my IRL keychain. The kids may have some good ideas :)
It all depends on what perceptual hashes you use. If Apple can institute a process whereby those are tied to the OS version, but not to the region, then it would be impossible to impose jurisdiction-specific exceptions.

Firstly, the NCMEC doesn't make the the laws. They can't therefore give any exceptional allowance to Apple.

Secondly, any derivatives that are clear enough to enable a definitive judgment whether something's CP or not by an Apple employee would be subject to my argument above. Also just collecting such material is an felony.

I don't see any way around that. Only that promising some checks before stuff gets reported for real is just a PR move to smoothen the first wave of pushback. PR promises aren't truly binding…

> This is a 50% or more discount to the market-cap/unique visitor ratio of Twitter, Snap, and Facebook.[1] And all the stats I've seen indicate much higher user engagement and time on site for Reddit compared to the other social platforms.

Most people have one Snap / FB account and one, maximum two Twitter accounts... but throwaways are the norm on Reddit (as well as HN), which means Reddit's user count is inflated by quite a bit. Additionally, Reddit has large nsfw communities that draw lots of members and visitors (again, most with separate accounts!), and these can't be reasonably monetized at all.

On average, across the whole planet, yes.

If you’re burning hydrogen to power a rocket, you don’t get to keep the exhaust. If, on the other hand, you use hydrogen and oxygen to power a fuel cell, keep the water, and use the power output to power an ion thruster or similar device, I suspect you end up with worse overall results than simply using a rocket and carrying some water.

> as evident by banks needing less than 5% cash reserves of deposits

You may not be aware, but when you deposit money into a bank, deposits are insured, so it doesn't matter if they have 1% on hand. You will eventually get your deposit back. That is not even close to what Tether is.

Today, the average length-of-haul is just 62 percent of what it was in 2005, decreasing from 800 miles to 500 (Fleet Owner). And the rate of decline appears to be accelerating. Since 2012, average miles driven between pickup and delivery have declined by 26 percent in reefers, 10 percent in flatbed trucks, and 9 percent in dry vans (Overdrive).

As it is the mechanism they have built only works in the US jurisdiction.
the issue is that those meta-tools - fallacies, razors, poe/godwin/etc. laws, "otherthinking", etc. - are primarily intended for people to be able to improve the quality and manage the deficiencies of their own thinking, and instead the people weaponize it to use against other people's thinking.
I doubt so, maybe the Apple CPU is better in benchmarks (not even sure), but who cares? I care about day to day usage, and the CPU on a 200$ Android is more than capable of doing everything a normal person does with a phone.

> So no Android phone has better specs

Because it's all matter of CPU. To me is more important internal storage, with 200$ you get nowadays a phone with 256Gb of memory plus a micro SD slot. Or it's important RAM, you get 8Gb of RAM (the same amount of my desktop computer), meaning you can have all the apps in background without issues. You get a fingerprint reader, that is more secure and usable than the stupid face ID. You get a USB-C connector that nowadays is everywhere, not the proprietary lightning port. You get a bigger battery that you don't have to charge everyday. You get a bigger screen with an higher resolution. You get an headphone jack. You get a FM radio (a stupid thing, but I don't get why iPhone doesn't put it).

> Apple has perfected its aluminium processes to provide a rigid and shock-resistant casing, and inevitably when people provide legitimate examples of PC laptops to buy, they never mention that the laptop you'll get will have a shitty plastic case with a heavy steel frame.

I don't care about the cool case of the macbook. I care about having a solid case, even if it's ugly plastic. My thinkpad t440p that I bought for 150$ on ebay I can carry around without worrying, I can spill a coffee on the keyboard and it will not break, I can make it fall from a ladder and it will not break.

Also if something breaks on a macbook, the only option is to throw it in the bin and buy a new one. How do you replace the LCD panel on a macbook? You can't, because it's all glued together and you have to replace the entire lid of the computer, that costs more than the computer itself. On my computer? Pop the display frame with hands, 4 screw and you remove the LCD, a 10 minutes job. Want to access the internal components? Two screws on the bottom and you have access to SSD, RAM, Wi-Fi card and CPU.

Want to change the battery? You will have to do so sooner or later, well on the macbook not only you have to disassemble the entire computer, but it's also glued with a strong adhesive, not only it's difficult to remove but also dangerous, since it's easy to damage the battery and since it's a lithium battery it can even explode. On my laptop just unlock the mechanism and the battery comes out, put a new one in and job done, 15 seconds.
These illegal photos are not trivial to obtain. Possessing (and here, the printing step necessitates possession) these illegal photos is in and of itself a crime in most relevant jurisdictions.

But OK, let's say that you've found a way to get the photos and you're comfortable with the criminal implications of that. At that point why don't you just hide the printed photos in your coworker's desk? My point is that if you have a disgruntled coworker who's willing to resort to heinous crimes in order to screw you over, there's many different things they could do that are less convoluted.

In my opinion, Packt is the first one with a book on a new technology or framework or use case. When I was getting started with Clojure , I ran into a bunch of problems in applying it.

They were not as fundamental to my learning as "Clojure for the Brave.." but ideas from those books helped me on.

Doesn't have anything to do with knowing the terminal or not. Before getting up and running with git just involved typing git commands. Now one of the least mysterious parts to a newb (type in your password!) involves picking an external credential store that works on your OS, and figuring out how to install it, and setting it up with your PAT, and making git talk to it. That's a long way from stuff like "now type in git add -A".
