One tool I've found really helpful in this regard is Color Oracle (https://colororacle.org/). It lets you see what your presentation (or software) looks like to someone who is colorblind. I've used that to tune our software to be useable by colorblind individuals.
I know this one is very subjective (like all matters of taste) but personally I feel like MacOS generally has a higher level of attention to visual detail and consistency than other desktop OS’s. Examples that come to mind are font choice and font rendering (Windows fonts look ugly and weirdly antialiased to me), icon selection (when they change the style, everything is updated to be consistent), consistent spacing and other UI layout between applications, colour choices, animation etc.

Like I say, this is very subjective and Apple don’t get it right all the time, but based on my experience it’s better than the alternatives in this regard. If you value customisability or access to power user features over visual consistency I can totally understand preferring another OS as MacOS does not excel there.

I don’t think Americans understand the government having that type of involvement tbh. It’s just so foreign a concept to us as a whole. It’s kind of arrogant tbh.
A class 10000 clean bench might be more practical. A lot easier to keep your cleanroom clean when the humans are outside of it, just sticking gloved arms in from time to time.

Be careful about purifying alcohol. Some backward countries have religiously-based legal prohibitions on this. My own backward country tightly controls acetone as a "precursor" to "stupefacients".

Nice thing about silane is that you don't have to worry about accidentally breathing it. There's a cheap and simple process for manufacturing it on demand from magnesium silicide, so you don't have to store it either.
How fucking insane are you lol
That's pretty much how small-molecule drug development works. They have huge high-throughput screening machines to churn through libraries of millions of chemicals, running assays to see whether they produce the desired results in vitro. Throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks.

Once they get hits, they run more big assays, winnowing down likely tox issues or off-target effects, then try them in animal models, then eventually get to Phase I.
Nice, good work!
Your understanding seems correct. After a positive evaluation from Apple, the CyberTipline report is filed to NCMEC, which operates as a clearinghouse and notifies law enforcement.

Law enforcement then gets a court order, which will cause Apple to release requested/available information about that account.

If photos later are outside the key escrow system, Apple would not be able to release the photos encryption keys, and would only be able to share 'public' photo share information which the user has opted to share without encryption to make it web-accessible.

Presumably in this case, the visual derivatives would still be used as evidence, but there would be 5th amendment arguments around forcing access to a broader set of photos.
Huh? If this is the case, wouldn’t a 2 body problem also be practically impossible to calculate?

I mean, you can certainly still predict to a certain (probably high) level of accuracy, but ultimately that motion is also influenced by factors outside your model.

That organization did not own those addresses. In the most generous interpretation of the situation, they were administrative custodians to the good usage of those addresses.

Reselling them to a for-profit company was definitely not what was intended by anyone and directly contradicts their mission as custodians. Those addresses were that of the global radioamateur community and no one else's.

That's why i made a comparison with .org. ORG TLD was created exclusively by and for non-profits, so it was a scandal when some execs conspired against the general public to resell it and induce more costs for everyone. Likewise, it's a scandal that when you need/want to build DIY radio Internet setup, your addresses which were reserved for that usage don't exist anymore, as they have been appropriated by Amazon.

Please note that this story would be less of a scandal if the community had been consulted on how much of the IP range to sell (retaining some for legit usage), and/or if that money benefited the community and not some greedy capitalist execs, and/or if they had been reattributed through normal channels (RIPE and other RIRs) and not commercialized, none of which is true.
This will show my lack of ipv6 knowledge but I’ll ask anyway. Say I have an endpoint service somewhere listening only on ipv6.

Let’s take any sort of CDN out of the equation for simplicity. Can I use Cloudflare DNS for the service, such that anyone using ipv6 will connect directly to my service, of course— but can CF do some magic ipv4->ipv6 translation/bridge sort of thing, so that someone on ipv4-only will also be able to connect to my ipv6-only service?

I’d imagine the answer is hopefully yes and perhaps this is trivial stuff these days, but anyway I’m thinking of setting up a blog and might go ipv6 only with it..

Ask HN: Getting deranked in Google due to a link list?
Two months ago I posted a list of 61 QUBO formulations and cited every single one (which resulted in 33 links to papers) [0].
After seeing this post get crawled by Google, my traffic dropped permanently by more than 50%. It has also stopped growing (which it did before). Of course, afterwards I noticed my mistake (I suppose Google thought I had become somewhat of a 'link spamming' site?!). Hindsight is 20/20.
But I refuse to remove this page, since I find it extremely resourceful and use it all the time in projects (I work on a Quantum Computing startup) and to send that list to others.

I guess the point of this post is two-fold:

1. What does HN think about Google aggressively deranking people due to one simple mistake? Could others share their stories?

2. Is there anything I can do to get back my original traffic without removing this post? Should I remove the links and just keep the text citation? Did I fuck up permanently, with Google flagging my site or something?

Appreciate any input.

> Perl is as hard for novices to learn as a language with a randomly-designed syntax

Make something accessible to novices IMHO is a wrong goal in many cases. A tool like a programming language used day to day for many months or years. What important is how efficiently you can use it after spending enough time to learn it (I would say a month or two should be enough for most languages if you know already a few, but it depends).

Of course we cannot ignore how hard is to learn a language otherwise we will have languages like C++ which require years to master it (and even coders with years of experience fall pray to numerous hidden traps of the language).
I'll repost my comment from yesterday. It's unfortunate, yet not surprising, that Facebook's legal team would want to threaten and sue. Of course, Facebook's own behavior is most likely 1000x worse for users than the research that they are trying to prevent. As a consumer, if this bothers you, express your preference by uninstalling Instagram and whatever other product that belongs to Facebook.

To be factually accurate, the commenter didn’t mention a number. Sending 30+ images of anything to someone’s number is trivial.

How is my will involved here?
Standard Internet procedures for IP addresses is apply to your Regional Internet Registry for addresses, and the panel decides who will make best use of them (usually smaller/newer providers are prioritized). You only pay administrative/membership fees for the addresses because IP addresses are technical bits not property... everyone operates addresses but nobody owns them.

That people sell food and houses is disconcerting in the physical world and creates real problems for real people where some can't afford to eat or have a roof over their head despite a global abundance of resources.

Oh, a Google believer. So tell me, how is a deaf-blind person going to solve an audio captcha? Is it OK for you to claim that a deaf-blind person ius not a human? I guess so, because google is the bomb, right?

And we dont even have to go down the deaf-blind road. I have excellent hearing, but have failed at solving audio captchas in the past. Also, please remember that there might also be a language barrier. Give an english audio captcha to a german housewive, and learn how discrimination works.
Even if scanning for the content is not explicitly required by law, what happens when a pedophile ring hoarding thousands of images of CSAM on iCloud is busted, and the news gets out? The article at [1] makes it sound like Apple choosing not to scan any of its users' videos in iCloud was seen as evidence of Apple lagging behind the status quo of companies like Facebook that were proactively reporting CSAM.

According to that article, in the last year Apple only submitted 265 reports to the NCEMC while Facebook submitted 20 million. Would law enforcement believe they'd be missing out on catching abusers after seeing this disparity?

If a company is found to allow criminals to store CSAM on their servers for extended periods of time, the law is going to want to know why they let it pass, irrespective of the extent the company chose to scan for it. Apple probably doesn't want to deal with that fallout, so maybe they figured that being proactive about scanning for CSAM in a way that could enable the use of E2EE wouldn't hurt, and that pushing the privacy narrative would satisfy enough people - which it didn't.

The most profoundly ethical philosopher is of course useless to Market Logic.
If you're going to tell me to look at the history, then I should tell you to do the same. The history says the did it, 25 years ago, and haven't been doing it for almost 20. The history says they are being good citizens in all their open source contributions in the last decade. It says they're actively working to further the open standards they're building on. At a certain point, a specific incident becomes an outlier, which is a point I believe we have passed.
I understand this site is terrible without an ad blocker, using this link may be better: https://archive.is/ZEI7u
I think they’ll regret more than the confusion they’ve caused after the dust settles. Regardless of the security and privacy implications of their changes and how I feel about those; I have never associated Apple with CSAM more than I do now, and I’m sure it’s the same for many others that have been following this story.

The “think of the children” might have been a good wedge if their long term agenda involves expanding this kind of scanning, but it’s creating some strong ties between CSAM and their usually very “clean” brand.

If their aim was to comply with their reporting requirements and demonstratively prove that this kind of content can’t hide within Apple’s ecosystem (a huge advantage in many peoples eyes) then surely they should have opted for the least controversial option? From reading comments, I think very few would have pushed back against comparing image hashes on their servers after upload, even if that became a blocker to E2EE - that we don’t have, and might not ever get anyway.
"We"re sorry" <-- Why does Google get to decide whether i can access this site or not?!

the wikipedia page lists several solutions for special cases and a general solution, which is unusable.

the article talks about an effective solution, which would mark a major step forward.
> The entire world would know within about 30 minutes if Apple ever pushed some malware update that did an end run around security and started grabbing files off people's hard drives

But it would be very hard to spot new weights of the neural network and a new list of target hashes. These are pretty much guaranteed to change regularly as they retrain the embedding network and/or change the list of known target images. So it will be very hard if not impossible to see what they're searching for. That latest update could just add the ability to recognize CSAM pictures that had meme texts added to them. Or it could change the embeddings and target list to spot unlicensed posting of copyrighted still frames from movies. Or it could now retrieve any picture of people in police uniform. No way to know if you don't have a hunch and a targeted picture you want to test with.
We have been collecting digital nomad visas at https://travel.stackexchange.com/a/158462/4188 there are a lot post-covid.

Now if only we could find a way around the sophon block.
I clicked on your link hoping for serious analysis. I would have settled for interesting analysis. I was disappointed. It's just a guy who found one MD5 hash collision. The paragraph was written in a way that makes it unclear whether source of this specific hash was in fact NCMEC or if it was "other law enforcement sources". So which was it? Did this person follow up with the source to confirm whether his hash match was a false positive or a hash collision?

So in short, the source for your claims has evidence of between zero and one false positives.

Unimpressive would be an understatement.
I’m surprised that this excludes digital nomads from local income taxes. You’d think tax revenue would be a big incentive for them to attract people, and most countries have anti double taxation laws.
I guess this is downvoted because the initial conditions allude to numerical integration which isn't considered a proper "solution". Nevertheless, indeed the three-body (as well the n-body albeit with restrictions) has an analytic solution in form of power series. When people say it doesn't have one they mean in a closed-form. The research here isn't a solution (it doesn't allow one to find the exact state of the bodies at some specific later time) but rather a stochastic predictor of the behavior of the system.

> They will also be exempted from local income taxes, will be able to open local bank accounts and can drive in Costa Rica using their country’s license, among other benefits.

With this kind of visas I've always been curious: Unless you're US or Eritrea citizen, does this mean you don't have to pay any income tax at all, given you loose your home country's tax residentship in 183 days after leaving?

I see. My interpretation doesn't hold up given your definitions of back door.

I bet the authorities would be happy with a surveillance mechanism disclosed in the EULA, though. Even if such a system is not technically a back door, I am opposed to it and would prefer Apple to oppose it.

> The US and practically everyone else got so side tracked by Afghanistan

The US only momentarily devoted its attention to Afghanistan, until the Administration was able to redirect its energy to the preconceived war on Iraq it initially wanted to use the 9/11 attack to justify but was thwarted by the evidence leading elsewhere too clearly.

That's a big part of the reason the long occupation on Afghanistan was such a failure.

> plus local right wing people and parties were emboldened by an Islamophobic mindset in general

Uh, for the point of view of the right-wing party in America that launched that war and the next, that wasn't an unfortunate unintended consequence, its part of the reason many of the people in that Administration had been trying to get a war against Iraq off the ground since shortly after the previous one ended.

Huh, that’s a good point. Never considered that.
The question is what happens with a small perturbation and how does it "grow".

For a two body problem, you nudge one of the bodies and it is forever off by a small amount, but your predictions into infinity require only a small adjustment to compensate.

For a three body problem you nudge one of the bodies and only for a very short time do your previous predictions stay true, the change amplifies until nothing you thought might happen before the nudge means anything at all, and a common occurrence is one of the bodies being ejected.

This is correct use of IP space.

With a routeable IP on every computer, no one would be a second class (consume-only) user of the Internet.
You were sort of both right.

Apple has the keys in escrow across several HSMs separate from the cloud hosting environment. Nothing within iCloud can actually see the content, but there are processes to get access to a particular account for various reasons (such as government order). There is a separation of permissions as well as hardware-generated audit logs. Reportedly the HSM systems were specifically manipulated to not be extensible via software updates.

So it is E2E with a separate key escrow system, which Apple (wisely) does not attempt to call E2E.

Apple couldn't implement the PhotoDNA-based scanning other providers have done because Apple would need access to the escrowed keys for each user photo uploaded.
Rebase is not only useful, but necessary for a distributed VCS to be useful. To be precise, you need to be able to create new commits from old ones using the VCS itself, and if you can do that, you can also rebase.

One of the major reasons I use git for source control whenever I can is that 100% of its features are available at any time for me to use in any way I wish. Rebase allows me to make commits for whatever reason I want at any time, and it's useful because losing committed data is really hard.

When I'm writing code, I put very little effort into how to structure my changes into commits; That's done when I'm preparing a PR or a patch series, when I'm out of the coding mindset and in the "how do I make this reviewable" mindset. When you're contributing to a project, these are two separate tasks that require different approaches. Any false starts and experiments should be documented and expanded on in this phase, because you're communicating with other people. Pushing a series of crappy "asdf" commits on people because "it documents the development process" is lazy and rude.

A tool that requires me to have perfect commits immediately is useless, because getting commits perfect the first time you actually need to commit is not possible.
