I agree, but in a totally different way. We are past the tipping point. To destroy capitalism and everything that got us here is a VERY risky strategy.

Instead, it's full steam ahead. Technology will save us from ourselves. Or not. But that's the only realistic option.

On a positive note, we've been here many many times before and overcome. There would be no trees left without coal. There would be no whales left without petroleum. Now we are on to coal, petroleum, natural gas, nuclear, and renewables.

Whatever budget anyone thinks there is, life goes on. Coal will be the next to go, and probably in about 50 years.
You make a good point, but your example is out of date; "Happy Birthday To You" melody was recently found to be copied from an earlier composition "Good Morning To You" and the copyright is therefore invalidated. Decades of royalties for a stolen song!

Reddit should charge for all commercial posts. It would clean up spam and generate revenue.

Make a special class of commercial account, include some 'verification' badge thingy. Let subreddits ban all commercial content, unpaid commercial content, or leave open (for commercial-specific subs).

Let mods profit share in commercial posts. (And fix the moderator system so "first to register controls the sub" is no longer the case)

Generally you don't. Most states require you to publicly declare managers of LLCs, and trustees of real estate.

Nowhere did I suggest that beneficiaries should be points of contact, or otherwise available in a public database.
I really don't get all the hype. This is not a backdoor as it's called in TFA. It's not Apple "reaching into your device". It is literally checking for specific images and reporting their presence to Apply if found. It's not using AI to analyze your photos or anything like that. It's looking for specific images, and only prior to uploading them to iCloud. It won't even flag your own nasty images because the hash won't match.

Note: The above assume we're talking about a typical hash of data and not an image-analysis "hash" of what it thinks the content it. This is supported by the language they use.

Yes, it's a bit big-brother. But I already assume the authorities can fairly easily get ALL your iCloud data if they ask Apple the right way.

You know what's creepy AF? Having a private conversation and getting facebook ads the next day relating to the topic. Talk about an acquaintance acting schizophrenic and get ads about medications and treatment for that? Creepy as fuck. And that was on the wifes iPhone - I have Android and didn't get that stuff, but I seem to remember similar incidents where I got ads for stuff talked about. That's serious voice analysis, not just checking a file hash, and it happens when your phone is in your pocket.
That won't stop Starbucks from using it as an excuse to jack the prices up 25¢ a cup. Never waste a good crisis.

Meanwhile, I'll keep brewing it at home.
>The hashes are hard coded into each iOS release

Do you have a source on that? Since it is illegal to share those hashes in any way or form. Even people working with photo forensic and big photo sharing sites cannot get access to them. I very much doubt Apple can incorporate them into the iOS release without breaking multiple laws. The hashes themselves can easily be reversed to (bad quality) pictures so having the hashes equals having child pornography.

I don't know what you are saying. Are you saying we shouldn't consider context when looking at quotes? That's a bad idea. For example, BitwiseFool said "Defund the Police." We shouldn't be saying MLK advocated a position he clearly didn't, and I should be allowed to correct someone when they do.
Those are all good examples, and ouch...

Honestly, if you wrote a blog post about what you think our industry needs, I would read it. I think you have a lot to say about it.
As all social media companies likely know, addicts make for a loyal clientele.
>I personally think it's fair enough, the company claimed it was secure, therefore he hacked them. The police reacted, but when he could show it clearly

it is absolutely not fair. The fair would be if the company had to show before the arrest that it was minimally secure. I mean they for sure had the HTTP transaction in their own logs - like GET document, response 200. They couldn't have reasonably in good faith claim "secure" and "hacking". What the company did is bordering on the false police report, and it would be fair if there were a recourse for the falsely arrested to use against the company.

I think it's possible to have nuanced policy in difficult areas where some things are okay and others are not.
> First: This is not hearsay or anecdotal evidence, this is multiple innocent real people getting their lives trashed to some degree before getting aquitted.

"multiple" is still anecdotal, unless we have actual numbers on the issue. The question is how many of these cases actually happen vs. the number of times these types of investigations actually reveal something bad. Unless you never want kids saved from abuse there has to be some acceptable number of investigations that eventually get dropped.

> Remember the job of the police is more to keep law abiding citizens safe than to lock up offenders.

Maybe that should be their purpose, but in reality they're law enforcement, their job has nothing to do with keeping people safe. The SCOTUS has confirmed as much that the police have no duty to protect people, only to enforce the law. However I think we agree that's pretty problematic...

> Making innocent peoples lives less safe for a marginally bigger chance to catch small fry (i.e. not producers), does it matter?

I would point out that the children in this situation are law abiding citizens as well, and they also deserve protection. Whether their lives were made more or less safe in this situation is debatable, but the decision was made with their safety in mind. For the few cases of a mistake being made like the one you presented I could easily find similar cases where the kids were taken away and then it was found they were actually being abused. That's also why I pointed out your examples are only anecdotes, the big question is whether this is a one-off or a wider trend.

If reducing the police's ability to investigate these potential crimes would actually result in harm to more children, then you're really not achieving your goal of keeping people safer.

> The problem here and elsewhere is that police many places doesn't have a good track record of throwing it out. Once you've been dragged through court for the most heinous crimes you don't get your life completely back.

Now this I agree with. The "not having a good record of throwing it out" I'm a little iffy on but generally agree, but I definitely agree that public knowledge of being investigating for such a thing is damaging even if it turns out your innocent, which isn't right. I can't really say I have much of a solution for that in a situation like this though, I don't think there's much of a way to not-publicly take the kids away - and maybe that should have a higher threshold, but I really don't know, as I mentioned earlier we'd really need to look at the numbers to know that. For cases that don't involve a public component like that though I think there should be a lot more anonymity involved.
However the platform lacks namespaces.

It is impossible to compete with the first one that claims the obvious name for the subject, such as, say r/startrek

The competing ones also censor heavily, so all it does is that one can now choose what particular opinions one can't express.

Competing on the merits of moderation style is insignificant compared to having the most straightforward name that everyone will try first; the subreddit with such name will always be the largest.
I still don't understand how this is allowed. If the police want to see the photos on my device, then they need to get a warrant to do so. Full stop. This type of active scanning should never be allowed. I hope that someone files a lawsuit over this.

That's the industry classification with the largest number of "Software Developers, Applications" occupations from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics[1]. As far as I'm aware, there isn't a comprehensive analysis of occupations by age based on BLS data. I'm guessing your source is a survey that probably has a margin of error larger than the difference between any median ages provided by the BLS for industries that employ the most developers.

Taking the industry as a whole is representative of a typical career path. If your narrow point is that people who have entry level positions are young, well, of course.

If you've got a better dataset than the BLS, I'm sure there are many people who'd be interested, and you should share it.

> How can we offer a more gentle learning curve for budding developers while still requiring "real" projects to use best practices for security and development

Difficult question. In the past, the solution was just not to use any of that. A bunch of files inside a random folder in your computer that were not version controlled in any way. That worked, but that's also the reason I lost most of the source code that I've written before/during university.

Version control is not a simple problem. A distributed version control system, even less simple. Git has some ergonomics issues that may possibly get improved, but the fundamental problem is not trivial.

We already have to learn so much to do the simplest of tasks, that removing password auth seems to not move the little much, if at all.

You can certainly 'postpone' some of this learning, maybe that's one route. Back when there were "IDE wars", that would be one of the arguments ("we don't have to learn no stinkin' CLI"). Some IDEs even had their own, local, "version control". At some point you'll have to "pop open the hood" though.
That's not actually a good goal. Find people who have more availability to listen, or who communicate more with fewer words.
No, we’re worried about the precedent it sets.
The nice thing is as alternative tech platforms rise up (communities.win, ovarit.com, ruqqus, rumble, etc) we will see a more decentralized web and these tech giants will soon be forgotten. Hopefully, they'll take their toxic VCs with them, but I think that may be a pipe dream.
And positions that are contrary to what MLK believed shouldn't be advocated by calling on his status as a public figure. Just because people are ignorant doesn't mean they get to say whatever they want. I don't see how this is even being discussed.
makes sense, it seems a fundamental tension within lisp itself as another commenter said "everything is eventually a list in lisp" then i guess macros have to be the same

maybe to support semantics "this is an if statement" could be some kind of metadata on the macro i suppose?

The hype about this is really funny.

"Climate change is making heat-related extremes of weather more intense and when we think about those record-breaking temperature the chance of breaking temperature records – or coming close to breaking records – is greatly increased."

Thanks Einstein!

Let's say hypothetically weather works a 100 year cycle, and that the mean global temperature rises 0.1 degrees per decade.....

Guess what! Every single temperature record gets reset multiple times per 100 years, but at the end of the day the temperature is only 1 degree hotter even though I have had to endure 10,000 articles claiming global warming and weather disasters and records etc.

It's really a quite vapid but easy headline clickbait that we aren't getting away from anytime soon.

There's lots of stories about challenges in getting those jobs, and then getting paid less to do those jobs, and then feeling unwelcome. Why is it so hard to believe that it's simply harder to get a job if you're a qualified minority? How does it lessen you to acknowledge that there are systemic problems?
No, you aren't correct. Most energy, globally, is indeed generated in ways that are not environmentally friendly - but that's not an axiom. It's entirely possible to build a house with all the modern conveniences that's not even connected to the power grid. Solar packs a surprising punch - a panel 2.5m square, in full sunlight, can run a microwave.

Does someone who just wants to experiment with a little bit of web-dev really need to have version control right away? Seems a bit out of scope. That seems like a concept that can wait a few months while they actually just explore writing some code first.

You're just arguing that only a subset of people can correctly interpret what people truly mean. I'm not sure that is consistent or valid? Taking things at face value is a valid interpretation because that is what is literally said. Excluding tone, but a quick search returns the literal interpretation backed by congresswoman AOC.

> 'I believe the path toward justice is a long arc. Safety is not just an officer with a badge and a gun,' AOC said. 'Our [police budget] is too high,' she added, citing a $6 billion figure for New York's department. [src](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/aoc-defends-defund-t...)

This is also backed by multiple cities literally cutting police funding. [LA](https://abc7.com/defund-the-police-lapd-los-angeles-mayor-er...) [NYC](https://www.policemag.com/562124/new-york-city-cuts-police-b...)

Did the budget drop? Then it was defunded, which is accurate. It can be defunded and reallocated and still be accurately stated by "defund the police".

You're arguing that what people say isn't what they really mean to say. Almost insinuating that it always requires an "expert" or "scholarly" opinion in order to truly interpret the true meaning of what someone says.

"The sky is blue"

"Well he meant to say the sky is clear, but it's the reflection of light from the water in the air that makes it appear blue, but it's not actually blue"

Meanwhile if you look outside observe you notice the sky is blue, validating the original statement. There wasn't any depth to the statement other than "The sky is blue"

> a peculiarity of copyright law means that the actual shapes of the letters aren't actually protectable by copyright -- you can copy an existing font virtually 100%, tweak a thing or two, and legally call it your own.

IANAL but this is only true in some jurisdictions, primarily the US and Japan.

Also, I don’t think it’s quite that simple either. The actual type face may not be eligible for copyright, but the computer code describing the particular curves and hinting rules and etc. is. So I think you can’t just trivially copy a font and modify it and call it your own.

I have never tried the latter two, but the first one is a very good example of a notoriously bad advice subreddit that almost all lawyers dislike for spreading constant misinformation, and often even seeing people that say the correct thing be banned by the moderators.

There are almost no actual lawyers on that subreddit for two reasons: A) actual lawyers would like to see compensation for their expertise; B) in many jurisdictions, lawyers are not allowed to give legal advice without establishing a formal attorney–client relationship.
I hear this a lot but I've never found a good small subreddit either. Perhaps there's a discoverability problem but I'll be damned if I can find one of these mythical small subreddits with a great community I keep hearing about.

For example I love Formula 1. But the /r/formula1 subreddit (1.6 million subscribers) is absolute unmitigated trash. There are decent articles posted there, but the comments are a total wasteland of low-effort memes, regurgitated jokes and total morons with zero understanding of the sport. So where do I go for F1 content? How do I find one of these supposed small subs with good communities?
this helped it click for me, thanks
It turns out people liked it when their phone scanned their photos for 'selfie' or 'beach' for them.

Lol. I've gotten these many times. It turns out that an acronym related to my work is one typo away from a listed child porn term/site. If google is reporting these then I am already on thier list.
I agree with you, but I want to correct you - they are using an image analysis hash, not a cryptographic hash. However it doesn’t change the logic of your argument. They require multiple positive marches, and they also require a visual derivative of the CSAM images to match.

The 'hype' seems to me to be the valid-sounding concern that this tool creates the ability to "look for specific images prior to uploading them to iCloud" on Apple devices, and that while today that capability is exclusively applied to save the children, that tool could later be repurposed by authoritarian regimes or other human rights abusers.

Speaking towards what we can assume the authorities can do, we know the FBI cannot compromise an encrypted iPhone because they attempted to force Apple to do that via court order. From what I can tell, the objections to Apple's expanded protection tooling is similar to the objections to adding backdoors to iPhone encryption so the FBI can break into devices used by criminals. It's great to stop the crime today, but how could this be repurposed tomorrow.

Green hydrogen is the only realistic alternative to nuclear in areas which rely on wind power for renewable energy. Li-ion batteries can not economically create weeks long capacity of stored energy with a charge cycle of a few times a year. Wind does not have a day cycle as solar has.

What green hydrogen need to do is become economical, and to my knowledge it is even more expensive per w/h then nuclear is.
