You’re not running away from a mainstream digital life by buying a different computer, that’s just FUD. I’m nearly all Linux run and this has not decreased my ability to have a mainstream digital life…whatever those qualifications are, which seem to be specifically tied to software Apple allows you to use. These companies only want you to think life will be worse off by not buying their products.

You can block the signal, but since the new scanner is now on the device itself, it can still snoop and phone home later. I want a phone that I can use as a phone still but be able to control when it does stuff and what stuff it does. I don't need a portable computer if it's just gonna spy on me all the time.
One can regularise the derivative (a delta distribution) in several ways (e.g. a triangle at zero) and that is good enough (even from a theoretical perspective) to find an approximate gradient. Experimentally it is then possible to train deep neural networks with such non-linearities.

Yes! The inconsistent character spacing and the width of the downstrokes seem to be at least parts of the problem.
Balena Etcher can also create bootable drives which is a lot harder than just rsyncing files to them.
So you would be fine with keeping all your platonic relationships strictly digital? If not, why?
Thank you, I really liked that post. I'am 40years now and started to teach myself programming 4 years ago. I do a lot of overthinking, like "Linux or Windows", "Should I learn some C before Python? What about all this networking stuff, how does that work?". I know it probably doesn't really matter, because I consider myself still a beginner in programming, but it is sometimes really hard not to feel overwhelmed by all of this stuff, and just stop thinking about what, or what not to use.

Xi is just trying to centralize party control over the country, and solidify his grip on it. This is very common in dictatorships, take North Korea for example.
Agreed that it’s not exactly the same scenarios. However US is actively disengaging from China. And as far as economy parity I think that may never be as China is on a downward trajectory while US is going up. And lots of china’s numbers are fabricated.
The causes of the downfall of the USSR seems to always line up with whatever political angle the writer has. Leftwing can point to a lack of (political) liberalization or poor planning, rightwing can point to not going further on (economic) liberalization. It's a topic that is really valuable to think tanks based on their politics and their donor's politics.
It's not about what Apple should do. This story is not so important to their business, marketing-wise it's a minor annoyance. It's all about what users/you should do. Support, participate in, and use open/self-hosted, private and properly secure services and devices.

Yes, it's hard, cumbersome, and not "there yet" for a long time to come on a lot of fronts, but it's the only way out of the corporate multiverses.

I think this advice assumes a lot about the reader. I find that quite a fraction of people rather think too little, often sold on some distorted misconception of "agile".

I guess there is an art of thinking through things at a reasonable amount, knowing when to move forward, and when to stop again and think more.

Sure, learning this art surely has to be done to a large part by experience, so the points in the article has their merits, but things, people and circumstances are not always the same.
Welcome to the world of Enterprise!
In the late-80s/early-90s my supply of animu was supplied by a HS friend from Singapore who still had friends and family there who would tape things off TV for him that would get to me 2nd or 3rd generation. I also generally got what I got.

I'd be so happy when I got my hands on something that VIZ reprinted, like Baoh, Grey, or Outlanders. Then, I'd know what was going on.
I couldn't agree more. Company culture should be one of the top primary metrics used to value an investment. Forget all the business school lingo, all the numbers, and all the bullet points. CEO's buyback stocks, and accountants cook the books all the time. There's always room for fudging with numbers and metrics and how you present them, so all that "math" is really just misdirection. What is presented really doesn't matter, because at the end of the day the goal is always to present the company in good light. No ones gonna say "we had a bad quarter, we don't have a plan, and lost our lead in the marketplace, so please give us more funding".

What can't be faked is the experience their employees - the team so to speak - have working there. And if the team at large doesn't get along, doesn't believe in what they are working for, well, lets just say they aren't gonna win any championships.

FWIW, the original point I was trying to make seems to have gotten lost which is that tech workers (a high earning cohort relative to the rest of the population) extolling financial advice that amounts to “make more money than you need to survive and save the excess” isn’t helpful to the vast majority of the population.

As someone in a less financially prosperous section of world than the US, do you think that advice is particularly helpful to your countrymen? Is the problem that people are wasteful and unwilling to make obvious choices, or that those opportunities aren’t as widely available as HN’s commenters might make them out to be?

It's semi-respectable for a computer analysis, but notice that the creator of this video is using TeX to enter the math.
You now don't have to write a caption when you paste some math, automated a11y semi-compliance, but does this mean you stop vetting your site with a screen reader? The answer should be no, but I get a feeling that many developers will check the box and move on (see also: "accessibility overlays").

Now, let's turn the situation around, you are blind, you have heard and understood a complex equation, you must respond by writing a response to that equation.
How do you do it?
Does MathML help you?
The markup, generated from TeX, that can be read aloud by a computer, is still fundamentally read only.
The most tech savvy of the visually impaired I've met learned to program and use python or something to do their math.
It beats the hell out of handwriting xml or using a very restrictive mathML wysiwyg editor with a screen reader.

Do I think MathML is a pure negative? No, but it's not even close to a silver bullet, and using potential a11y benefits to shield its flaws doesn't sit right with me.
I don't personally even think there is anything inherently bad about herbal supplements, many of them are avidly researched and proven to have value. The issue is the supplements they (right-wing grifters) sell are usually far less safe than what you'd actually get if you bought them through a general retailer and they make unreasonable claims about the results from the supplements.
The hydrogen produced that way can only be green if the ammonia was produced green.
The audits/attestations reveal this and Tether itself has confirmed it holds a large quantity of "commercial paper". They have steadily backed away from the claim that USDT is backed by dollars.

"Commercial paper" is a loan, an IOU --- not hard currency/assets.

You can't have your dollars and loan them to others too. If I give Donald Trump an unsecured loan for $1000, I can't "legally" claim to still hold the $1000 in cash.

The idea that an unsecured IOU is without risk and is worth just as much as dollars in hand is pure fantasy. Yet all the exchanges collectively peg USDT at $1.

good, I hate what it has become.
IMO this was bound to happen the moment users accepted that they didn't have root on their hardware, and handed the keys to the manufacturer. It's a slippery slope. Apple is as much in control as we are. We are all just sliding down the path set years ago.

Today it's scanning your photos. Tomorrow it will periodically turn on the camera, do on device processing to check for child abuse, then only send the recording to FBI if it thinks so. Otherwise the recording will be deleted.

Once you cede control over your property, this is bound to happen sooner or later.
I'm thinking about encrypting all data in the cloud and disabling the platform specific image upload/backup altogether. Not sure how I would a) automate the backup process from our phones to the cloud and b) how to make it somewhat convenient to look at and share pictures among the family

Any form of automation and convenient goes against the main point that is privacy.
There are quite a number of similar coincidences in the history of science. It seems to me that at some point the necessary knowledge or techniques are just there to make some discoveries almost inevitable.

>So, what you save in 0s in the input byte code, you pay more than that in the execution gas.

In this case all methods should be internal, so the preamble would have no methods at all to look for.
You can't forecast vote outcomes. Remember, politics is squishy. The totality of a policakers decision-making is more than just the facts, like it or not. How they are feeling toward you, the interests they perceive you advocating, how dedicated you appear to "the public interest" all factors into that Yea/Nay decision, and could be the difference between a relatively draconian statute NOW, or something so wishy-washy and limp-wristed you barely have to bother the accountant at all to adjust fiscal plans.

Perception management is a full time job, and at the core of marketing, lobbying, PR, and corporate strategy. If information does get out, it's because someone either blew the whistle, or because someone is fishing/doing clandestine signaling.

I'll be honest, it strikes me more as whistleblowing in this case; but there has been enough concerted effort at syndication I'm not necessarily closed to a strategic leak.
I would say it’s even more important in the case of a web app that stores data locally, because it’s imperative that the user understands that data is tied to that particular web browser and device, and that clearing site data (which I’ve known non-technical users to do periodically to reduce tracking footprint), changing devices, etc can/will result in data loss.

Oddly enough the handful of web apps I’ve known to use local storage don’t communicate this at all. Developers seemingly treat data in browser local storage as existing indefinitely and unlikely to be deleted, when in fact it’s probably the most easily accidentally lost form of storage an app can have.

What about smartphones? Increasingly, an up-to-date and unmodified Android or Apple smartphone is required to interface with the modern world. Want to use a Linux phone? Sorry no banking app for you. No check-in for flights. So you either need to accept massive day-to-day inconvenience or subject yourself to surveillance and control. This era of computing is a disaster from the perspective or user-control. You know what, Stallman was right.
Yes, they probably relied on the same scientific breakthrough where it basically became a race for who could do it first.
Think of it this way. Ever see the movie where they put the neck shackles on people that blow up if they do something wrong? Running Man is an example. With local device scanning, I feel apple is putting a neck bomb on me, but promising they won't blow it up unless I do so and so. I can't take the neck bomb off and never should have let them put it on in the first place. My head is now at the mercy of Apple now and forever because it's locked on. Now Apple can change the terms of service, boom. Apple has a bug, boom. Why in the hell would I want this neck bomb on me?!

Yes, it should be obvious by now why Apple must back down.

But to convince Apple there needs to be plenty more articles about CSAM and where it leads.
Most people in the West (both left and right-wing) thought the USSR was much more economically productive than it actually was, and that the populace was more supportive of the regime than was the case. The Chinese learned very valuable lessons from the USSR, namely that liberalization is very dangerous for a regime; North Korea has done much worse (economically) than the USSR, but is very politically stable.

I am not sure how earlier political liberalization could have saved the USSR, which was essentially a (communist) imperialist dictatorship.
I think the 3rd E is more likely "extort" these days. They won't extinguish it, but you'll be paying per user per month forever and the prices will always go up, up, up.
Touch screens simply suck if you need to interact with a device in rough conditions - high seas or turbulence.

That's a big reason why most serious transportation vessels still have lots of buttons. It's far easier to stabilize your hand on a panel and use a button or knob interface than to try and hit the right button while going from 0.5G to +1.5G and +/- 30 degrees of bank.
In Andromeda Strain, there's a bit of a twist in that as the situation with the pathogen in the lab deteriorates, the automatic safety systems start locking it down even more tightly. The lab is made up of multiple levels, with the lowest level (underground) being the most controlled. For plot reasons, one of the researchers has to try to get from the lowest level to an upper one and the security systems actively try to stop him.
I never understood why Intel sold their compilers anyway. The revenue from compilers must be a tiny drop in Intel's revenue bucket. And if you're fine tuning your compiler to work best with your architecture it seems like you'd want to be giving that away to further promote sales of your chips.

Now that they're using LLVM they should just upstream everything to the LLVM project and quit selling icc.
I don't buy this reasoning because they could have standardized only the interface, letting it open for developers to choose SQLite or some other future implementation. There is no need to standardize SQLite behavior, including bugs.
Well you have to have a limit, and people do post very tall comic strip images, there might be something to the fact that Reddit Twitter and Facebook all do some auto crop on the timeline - I think it’s because they don’t want the extra whitespace in the timeline, but pumping engagement numbers by making users click to see the whole meme wouldn’t surprise me.

That's not a realistic "solution" for any more than a minuscule fraction of users.

If we don't want to live in a surveillance-based dystopia, we need to push back against it politically as a society, not play cat-and-mouse as individuals.
> That once broken, this system may not be easily restarted, at least quickly enough to prevent disaster.

This is quite literally what we're seeing with currently supply chain shortages, food shortages, etc. The machine breaking down.

It turns out, it cannot be easily stopped and restarted.
> Why would Apple have an interest in doing that?

To follow the law? You can already read a bagful of stories where it caved in on law enforcement pressure. It already follows much invasive legal systems in China or India like any other major tech company. The measures there are being presented as "anti-terrorism", maybe a less marketable term in the US currently.
Or just never sign NDAs since they are almost universally egregious and don't benefit you at all to become party to. 99% of the time when you say no, the other party will just shrug and say ok.

I agree with (2). But I do think there is a fundamental (human, psychological, emotional) difference between a tool running on a server and one running on my device.

The mental and ethical lines are clear when I hand content to a server, that's a contract I can understand and agree to. When it runs on my device, even if it's because of the option to send it to the server, that feels fuzzier. As Ben Thompson put it it's the difference between Capability and Policy.

This is now rubbing in our faces that the privacy is only in the policy, not the capabilities of the software. And the capabilities of propriety software are pretty knowable, through a combination of inspection and long term observation.

The end result isn't any different today, but it highlights the political position that Apple and others are being put in. I honestly don't fault Apple for this on anything except their clearly poor messaging, but they are getting pulled from all sides by governments who don't like the idea of them actually implementing a fully closed and end-to-end encrypted system for user data.
And yet... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_surveillance_in_the_Unite...

Apple has just created a product that slowed the government down and they wouldn't stand for it and so they compromised.

But America talks a good talk about pushing back against surveillance but if it doesn't affect people day to day, no one will care.

Hell, almost a million Americans are dead and about half care more about being able to go to a bar than the easily preventable deaths.

Every overreach in surveillance of the last 30 years has been justified as a way to stop child porn or terrorism. Law enforcement deliberately chooses these issues because they know they are an easy way to manufacture consent for greater surveillance. Mission creep isn't hypothetical. Many of the provisions in the Patriot Act are now completely entrenched and still used to today for drug enforcement and petty crime.

If you want it in wiki/git form: postmarketos.org is the project you're looking for as far as stuff on the application processor goes.
