As far as I know, a FLOSS store for Apple devices is very close to impossible.
KYC doesn’t mean you have to interrogate your customer about how they earned their money.
IMHO, what Apple is doing is not _knowingly_ transferring CSAM material. Very strong reason to believe is not the same as knowing. Of course it's up to courts to decide and IANAL.
Eh, I'd say most of the hardcore Reddit users have both old.reddit as well as an Ad Blocker, so I'm guessing that slightly better ad configuration tools wouldn't adversely impact the longtime users too much.

As for other users, they are already seeing incredibly random and irrelevant ads. Seeing actual photography themed ads on a photography themed forum doesn't seem that bad IMO (provided that they are clearly marked as ads, of course.)
Yes but so is much in that link or at least it is very biased. This one is far better:

Holy strawmans Batman. Stop putting words into people's mouths. I don't think we should treat all black people like they are oppressed and poor. I think we should recognize our society has historically oppressed and impoverished the majority of black people. Colorblindness does not allow that. Beyond that, I owe you no explanation.

We're taking a 1:1 approach, but most of the time I take issue with the language used in many guides. The linked guides are good examples, they contain a whole load of terms and buzzwords you don't need to know as a beginner.

The implication that this is a practice being used to skirt copyright is wrong. In almost all cases the font foundry is commissioned by a company to produce a distinct (or not so distinct as the case may be) variant of a typeface/family, licensed to them for their use - as an alternative to having the foundry create an entirely new typeface from scratch.

Disclosure: I'm the Git Systems PM at GitHub. Opinions are my own and I wasn't directly involved with this effort.

GCM Core is a really straightforward way to auth with GitHub and several other Git hosts. It comes with Git for Windows by default, can be installed with `brew` on macOS, and from a .deb on Linux. https://github.com/microsoft/Git-Credential-Manager-Core (it started under the Microsoft banner but is maintained by GitHub employees now).
My quick Google-ing shows that they make about $100M/year on ads. So they do this and it works decently well.

However, ads at other social networks have evolved way past this level of targeting (which is a bad thing, in my opinion, but alas). Social networks like Facebook know so much about not just your likes but the people you're friends with and how much your income is and what stores you've been to and what you do on Instagram and what your age is and what state you're in and... the list goes on.

I think most subreddits are tough to monetize. What do you sell to r/funny or r/politics or r/sanfrancisco? What does r/choosingbeggars want to buy? There's a few obvious ones (diets, hobbies), but I think eeking out $100M from that is already impressive.

Plus, Reddit's audience is way more against ads than Instgram/Facebook/etc.
Interesting take on the situation. It's even possible that Apple did this deliberately to get people talking about privacy.

Child porn is an odd hill to die on. Of course pedophiles and purveyors of child porn need to be locked away; no one disagrees with that.

But to pull this out of seemingly nowhere, and inform all 300m iPhone users (plus however other millions use iCloud on Macs) that they must submit to a search, because we are all suddenly suspects... this is beyond the pale.

Like others, I have baby pictures and kid pictures. I'm thinking about a couple of pics my wife took of our 18-month old, in the bathtub with her equally young cousins. I am wondering whether these pictures might get flagged in some way. Apple claims that they are only looking for known pictures already in a particular database, but that is cold comfort. If somehow one of my pictures pops up because of an A.I. decision, and a human decides it qualifies as child porn, my life is ruined.

As a side note, I was planning to upgrade later this year from a Samsung to the latest iPhone. That plan is now on hold pending review.

In fact I'm suddenly much more interested in the Librem phone, purveyed by the author of the article. As I recall, it's about $2000 USD so I had really not considered it seriously in the past. Now I am considering it seriously. I hope a whole family of new Linux-based smartphones can jump into this market and take advantage of the situation.

It'll be interesting to see how things shake out. Will this move by Apple go down in history as a textbook example of shooting oneself in the foot? Or will the masses simply grunt, and accept the inevitable?
I think folks get a bit confused here.

The escrow company generally should do proper KYC work, and does fall under AML/CFT directives.

But the where did your money come from (that some folks are used to) comes from LENDER requirements.

Lenders underwrite based on a set of facts, ideally backed up by what actually happens in escrow. So if the escrow company get's a wire from a hard money lender instead of from your bank (same $100K) that's going to be a big difference in lender eval prior to funding (they don't want you borrowing your money from another lender - usually a sign you faked your ability to save, increased DTI etc).

Probably more important in an ATC context than a flight deck setting. Tail numbers come to mind, as you said. Although I could see Part 91 operators mixing up airport identifiers with O and 0, airlines don't fly to airports where that matters... intersections and navaids are all alpha... approach names aren't going to have any ambiguity... so I guess one could argue it's ok? Still, you're right, it was a weird choice not to disambiguate them.

(Also, I'm super jealous you went to the ATC academy. By the time I seriously considered it, I'd aged out.)
That is not true. If you read what experts who actually do something to stop CP (unlike Apple) say there are proven false positives.

I think that refers to ABG.
I’m not sure and maybe the type of work I’m describing isn’t traditional manufacturing. Machining and welding for instance are skilled trades but a big part of modern manufacturing. Tool and dye press setup is another and one of many entry paths.

We hear the same things in other non-manufacturing trades though like plumbing and carpentry and HVAC, etc. companies struggle to find reliable people when the money is good and prospects are stable.

One contractor I had was a Ukrainian man with a math degree but went into tile work when he moved here because he found he could make more money doing it. Smart man in our conversations and humble but is massively in-demand in the general area because he’s so good at it and he’s paid like it.
> It was torpedoed because it was SQL-based (and not trendy "key value" and "web scale").

This is almost certainly not even close to correct. There are substantial reasons why it wouldn't be a good idea, but this might be the biggest one: it's very hard to adequately sandbox an external C library.

(... and, also, Apple probably would prefer that the web didn't exist at all, but that's a different pandora's box...)
You are correct. What you describe is called proof of source of funds and also should be required for high value transactions.
From the article;

> You could of course say that it’s “a slippery slope” sort of argument, and that we should trust Apple that it won’t use the functionality for anything else. Setting aside the absurdity of trusting a giant, for-profit corporation over a democratically-elected government,

And then later it reads

> and has previously cancelled their plans for iCloud backups encryption under the pressure of FBI.

Isn't the FBI in place because of the democratically elected government? It seems like the for profit organisation is trying to do the right thing, and the government is stopping them.

This is the fundamental problem with arguments based on "trust" - the government seems to be doing the wrong thing.
>. The police should focus and finding creators of such abhorrent material and put them in prison.

Good luck with that. They are in Russia/Eastern Europe, behind mafias.
I noticed google doing this too while trying to look up case law related to the discussion of apple's spyware. Related google searches popped up a big intimidating notice: "WARNING Child sexual abuse imagery is illegal".

The obvious implication is that your searches are being reported to some unaccountable authority.

I have no doubt that this creates a chilling effect against public discussion about these practices.
You should be forbidden from calling it private if you scan it like this. Companies should be forced to market their data storage as public so as to not deliberately mislead users
They are very opaque and act extremely shady. I would guess only a handful of people know the truth but they certainly don't act like they are legit and have nothing to hide. If they were legit, there would be zero reason not to do audits that show their operations are solid (it would also give them really good PR, help get more customers, and shut up the critics) and where exactly each dollar is. As someone else pointed out above, can their legal disclaimer is absolutely hilarious:

> ceejayoz 4 hours ago [–]

> Yup. https://tether.to/legal/

>> Tether reserves the right to delay the redemption or withdrawal of Tether Tokens if such delay is necessitated by the illiquidity or unavailability or loss of any Reserves held by Tether to back the Tether Tokens, and Tether reserves the right to redeem Tether Tokens by in-kind redemptions of securities and other assets held in the Reserves. Tether makes no representations or warranties about whether Tether Tokens that may be traded on the Site may be traded on the Site at any point in the future, if at all.

To me, that disclaimer sounds like they are trying to make a scam legal later when a rug is pulled out from underneath everyone and a trap is sprung like darknet drug bazars that shutdown and take everyone's assets once there was enough money on the platform.
Let's look at the tutorial for caching git credentials, which is referenced in your first link: (https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/getting-started-with-...).

It walks you through installing a "cask" using "brew". It doesn't mention how to install homebrew but instead directs you to the homebrew homepage which shows the output of a curl command being fed to `bash -c`. Something that's both bad practice and unintelligible unless you're quite familiar with Unix shells. If everything works as intended, you're good to go! But if anything goes wrong, or you have to update the "cask" in the future you're left with little to no context about what you just did.

For someone unfamiliar with Unix shell commands, homebrew, curl, etc. this is a quagmire that can take days to unravel without someone there to help them.
In terms of the drawing aspects, working on SVG or raw canvas drawing each have some drawbacks. If you don't need to output vector files, I recommend PixiJS, which gives you a stage-based display chain on top of WebGL where you can mix free-form line drawing with pre-made sprites. I used to write a ton of procedural graphics with Actionscript, and this has been my clearest path to continue on those projects. Some AS3 drawing code is almost directly portable.

> as, famously, with Backpage

This characterization of Backpage diverges significantly from the realities of the site uncovered by authorities [1]. Choice excerpt:

> "Information provided to us by [FBI Agent Steve] Vienneau and other members of the Innocence Lost Task Force confirm that, unlike virtually every other website that is used for prostitution and sex trafficking, Backpage is remarkably responsive to law enforcement requests and often takes proactive steps to assist in investigations," wrote Catherine Crisham and Aravind Swaminathan, both assistant U.S. attorneys for the Western District of Washington, in the April 3 memo to Jenny Durkan, now mayor of Seattle and then head federal prosecutor for the district. Vienneau told prosecutors that "on many occasions," Backpage staff proactively sent him "advertisements that appear to contain pictures of juveniles" and that the company was "very cooperative at removing these advertisements at law enforcement's request."

> "Even without a subpoena, in exigent circumstances such as a child rescue situation, Backpage will provide the maximum information and assistance permitted under the law," wrote Crisham and Swaminathan.

Not only that, you absolutely should shop the optional services (like title, escrow, etc.) We saved thousands in fees because me and my agent made a couple of phone calls to get competing bids after the seller (really the sellers agent) tried to direct us to a very expensive set of options.

Where is this stance coming form that Apple needs to break E2E crypto to be "able" to "E2E encrypt iCloud data"?

That makes absolutely no sense. There is nowhere such a requirement.

They could just E2E encrypt iCloud data. Point.

Indeed. I wish there was something like a token or key that was as ubiquitous as passwords.

Though from a developer POV I can certainly see why passwords are so attractive: take a word, hash it, compare hash on subsequent logins.

The alternatives are tricky, but not I suspect impossible, to do in a decentralised manner. I've often pondered that something like PGP servers with revocation certificates, but adapted to logins would be near the realm of a solution.

I think the thumbnail is only when the threshold is passed and there's a hash match. The reason for that is an extra check to make sure there is no false positive match based on hatch match (they claim one trillion to one, but even ignoring that probably pretty rare and strictly better than everything unencrypted on iCloud anyway).

> Nope, E2EE without compromises is preferable.

Well that's not an option on offer and even that has real tradeoffs - it would result in less CSAM getting detected. Maybe you think that's the acceptable tradeoff, but unless government legislatures also think so it doesn't really matter.

This isn't the clipper chip, this is more about enabling more security and more encryption by default but still handling CSAM.

The CSAM issue is a real problem: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/09/28/us/child-sex-...
Well, just for the record, that doesn't invalidate what I said. I'm not concerned with what PERCENTAGE is porn. It still is the largest, most-easily-accessible, most searchable, free porn site. And also for the record, yes, I HATE that Reddit (and Twitter, et. al.) allow full-on NSFW content along with all the rest.
This lets you write any Serious App with "single-player data" as offline-first (though yes you still need to handle syncing to the cloud somehow – jlongster has done some very cool stuff for that too, looking forward to him sharing more about that).

Combined with things like Codespaces, I can see a lot of intro classes glossing over some of what's happening under the hood.

That said, I really do think that skills like learning how to use a terminal and work through the CLI are necessary for developers to grow. It's not so different from how woodworkers don't just learn how to use a chisel, but also how to sharpen and bevel the tool as well.
other than curly braces, there's really no much similarity between Javascript and Java.
The Daring Fireball article actually is a little deceptive here. It goes over a bunch of that won't get parents in trouble and gives a further couched justification of the finger printing example.

The question is whether an ordinary baby photo is likely to collide with the one of the CSAM hashes Apple will be scanning for. I don't think Apple can give a definite no here (Edit: how could give a guarantee that a system that finds any disguised/distorted CSAM won't tag a random baby picture with a similar appearance. And given such collision, the picture might be looked at by Apple and maybe law enforcement).

Separately, Apple does promise only to scan things going to iCloud for now. But their credibility no long appears high given they're suddenly scanning users' photos on the users' own machines.

Edited for clarity.
I mean from the employer's perspective. I wouldn't have expected a "cheap" foreign labor market to be anywhere in the range paid to US workers, but maybe like 20-30% of the cheapest US worker.

I also have found teaching someone how to be even marginally capable of contributing to a Github project from scratch to be a very time consuming and frustrating thing. Think, having your graphics designer able to make commits, or having someone who only wants to update docs.

The worst part is the "easier" solutions are actually just footguns in disguise, as soon as they accidentally click the wrong thing and end up with a detached HEAD, a few commits ahead and behind the REMOTE, and halfway through a botched merge, you have to figure out how to bail them out of that using a GUI you've never actually used. Knowing all this, you either teach them git (high short term pain, high chance of them just giving up immediately) or you tell them to download the first result for "windows foss git gui" and pray that history won't repeat itself.
