It's better than nothing, I just wish it wasn't conflated with effective 2FA.

It isn't just state-level or sophisticated actors, it's anyone who is dumb enough to commit fraud with computers or via unauthorized access to telecom networks, which includes a lot of fraud rings.

According to The Verge[1], such services are even advertised on illicit marketplaces, so anyone with some Bitcoin and the Tor Browser can potentially be your adversary in such an attack.

They are down to hash collision arguments against this now?

Sounds pretty desperate.

As if any normal user is going to upload a photo to iCloud that is a collision.

The fact that such images are possible to generate means nothing by itself.

Also, they would need to accidentally have 30 of them.

Also, a human would have to not be able to tell the difference.

Remaking the Simpsons: Hit and Run with Unreal Engine
Used to be, you could write a book under your own name, and there was nobody who published someone else's photo claiming that person was the author of your book. Now, if you write a book under your own name, could be somebody will publish someone else's photo claiming that person is the author of your book. And you're trying to make that the fault of the author, in stead of the entity publishing the false association?!? Sheesh, man, can't you even hear how crazy that sounds?

I was going to claim you just have to be paid by Google to post this shit, but, "good faith" and all: No, you're probably doing this all on your own... Because I have faith that Google wouldn't want to be knowingly represented by ravings like yours.
Outside analysts, working for banks and other financial firms, using public/non-insider data, will write up a report about what they think the numbers coming out of Netflix's quarterly earnings report will be, to try to predict how the stock price will be affected by the report. This is why sometimes you see amazing, other-worldly quarterly performance, but the stock price doesn't move at all- because everyone had already anticipated the performance and that had already been priced into the stock price.

So if you have subscriber growth numbers - you look at where the analysts get something wrong as part of their calculation. Maybe they think there will only be 1M new subscribers, but in reality there are 10 million.

> NCMEC is an arm of the government. Either they share voluntarily or they get subpoenaed endlessly.

A subpoena is a lot different than scanning every single photo on every user's device automatically.

> Why do you think all of these companies even do this? lol

Because most companies don't give a shit about privacy? And they will cave at even the slightest government pressure to do so. Honestly it's probably easier for them that way (but worse for the consumer).

> in any case I've given you the solution on how to use iCloud and not be scanned. Take your photos, sync your iDevice to your computer and manually upload to iCloud photos. there you go.

Gee thanks, your "solution" is 1000x harder to use than just using iCloud Photos on your iPhone. One of the biggest selling points of it now is for convenience, and this is pretty obvious so I'm starting to think you're just trolling at this point.
They are idiots that can inside trade with impunity.
That’s one check. There are other system checks to make the client side hash collision meaningless.
> but in little-endian systems the order of the individual bits in a byte is still (kind of) big-endian, with the most meaningful bit on the left, right?

Single bits are not addressable, so from the point of view of a programmer "order of bits" isn't well-defined. There isn't a way to distinguish endianness of bits for a programmer.
I think the idea is more like "get my acquaintance Bob to go to his broker and make the trades based on my information, Bob and I split the profits under the table."

Power ISA is actually still big by default, and even on little-endian capable systems starts big endian until changed by the OS. Low-level OPAL calls on OpenPOWER systems are made big endian, even if the OS is little (the OS has to switch the processor mode).

HFT provides a value-adding service to retail. They replaced market-makers (who provided liquidity with huge spreads) with algos that have incredibly small spreads.

Dark pools aren’t pernicious either, it’s just another place you can buy or sell things, and then immediately have the trade reported with the rest of the sales data. Not materially different from the dozens of other places to buy and sell.

FWIW this is relatively straightforward to do in Linux, at least as a quick hack. I used this for the bones of a fully automated time tracker, because I suck at counting hours.

Anyway, here are a couple of magic incantations:

xprop -id $(xprop -root -f _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW 0x " \$0\\n" _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW | awk "{print \$2}") WM_NAME
xprop -id $(xprop -root -f _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW 0x " \$0\\n" _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW | awk "{print \$2}") WM_CLASS

These divulge the application name and window name of your frontmost window each time they're called.

There's also the xprintidle command (may need to be installed). With these three pieces together, you can create a little background daemon that monitors what you're up to at any given moment.
As a developer living in a country that has fully implemented "Open Banking", here's a quick setting of expectations for Canadian developers so they don't get too excited as I did when this was first being introduced.

Open Banking is not, in fact, open in almost any sense of the world. It is standardised and the standards are freely available ("open"), but other than that, you still need to have an official "blessing" to actually access a production API endpoint (even for your own account), you need a legal entity that has some highly specific and entirely meaningless certificates that are hard (and potentially expensive) to get and even after all of that, you'll still need to negotiate access with each bank individually.

What I imagined when I first heard of "Open Banking" was a public OAuth2 endpoint where I can grant my custom script access to just my bank balance and transaction history (possibly with a change webhook) and have it update my finance tracking database.

The "open" part is only relevant to the banks, since they don't have to pay royalties for the standard implementing the APIs. For the rest of us, it might as well be SS7.
Because their patents ran out before all the complementary technologies were economically feasible (and CMOS sensors were invented by someone else by that point anyway). It's actually a terrible example of the disruption dilemma.

Edit: And there was really no feasible transition path for them anyway. The business depended on skimming a little bit for every photo taken. The main selling point of digital cameras was that you could take unlimited photos at no extra cost.

Customers aren't stupid. Even with patents, if you make the camera more expensive to account for the lost revenue on film and processing chemicals, people aren't going to buy it.

It's actually kind of crazy how a company was able to build a business out of this and get acquired while doing it, too. If someone would've pitched me the idea, I would've been like "it's doable, but it'll never be a viable business."

Apple can’t be selling out if they literally have no way of knowing what is in the database of illicit content.

That is why they said that the content has to be in two separate nation’s databases. Of course, there is no information that I’ve seen about what other nation’s db they would use. And without another nation, there will be no content in the database? I doubt it.

Regardless, it’s a moot issue, since we already know that the 5 eyes all conspire and would gladly add content for each other, the same as several middle-east nations.

I can confirm this happens.

I happened to have a set of standing instructions for a number of technology companies which consisted of buying stock when it dropped more than 5% below the 90 moving average, and selling stock when it exceeded more than 5% the 90 day moving average.

For a lot of tech companies this was basically a money pump since they rose and fell quite cyclically. Then I went to work at one of the companies on my list (NetApp) and one quarter EMC announced they were going to miss their earnings and all storage companies dropped. Two weeks later NetApp announced their earnings which were better than expected.

When I got my brokerage statement for the month I had a nice gain because they had bought NetApp on the dip, and then when the earnings were announced the stock went up so they sold the shares that had been bought. About three weeks after that I got a call from the SEC. I referred them to my broker which showed both the standing order, and that they had been in place for a couple of years before that event, and the SEC went away. However I did take NetApp out of the mix because, well it is always unnerving when your phone tells you the SEC is calling. :-).
Oh brilliant! All power to you, then man :-)
Insider trading regulations are intended precisely to punish small-time defectors from ongoing executive-suite conspiracies against the investing public. Prosecutors know very well that charging CxOs who trade their own firms on inside information would quickly result in Congress radically changing the relevant laws.
This is amazing, I absolutely love this idea! Must be so cool to see the light flashing haha

I'd love to see more stuff like this, nice work overall!
I think that's a little bit too cynical.

For a start "company loves law for the sake of law". The company is operating in (a) a highly regulated environment (b) likely wishes to avoid the fines and adverse publicity associated with non-compliance. Its nothing to do with "loving the law".

But each to their own interpretation I guess.
I present to you this comprehensive list of developed/industrialized countries without universal health care: The United States of America,
It's legally debatable but in practice the feds can screw anyone if they want to. The laws related to insider trading are broad enough (because they kind of need to be to do the job) and enough people want it to be true that the commenter can soak up easy virtue points.
So right there seems to be an issue to me. It seems like if you were trading in CSAM, you would run CLEANER -all on anything and everything. Because you know someone has already written that as proof of concept here.
This statement is everything wrong with how Apple's privacy is interpreted. The problem isn't iCloud Photo - it's that Apple can install ANY software they want at ANY time for ANY reason on ANY of their devices without your permission, consent or even notice.

> There is simply no modern use case for non-power-of-two hash tables. Even in open addressing.There is simply no modern use case for non-power-of-two hash tables.

I think I'd much rather a hash table that needs 32.1 GB actually take 32.1 GB and not 64 GB especially when I need several of them, thank you very much!

With the extra memory saved and the TLB/cache footprint reduced I can get a lot of performance to offset the minuscule latency difference between a widening multiply and a logical and!

In a recent data structure I've worked on, using an algebraic code requiring a couple bisection searches in a couple tiny tables to decode-- to just reduce table entries by 4 bits measurably improved performance, simply from reducing the cache/tlb footprint a few percent. As computers have become faster multiplies and adds have become increasingly free relative to memory latency/bandwidth.
My problem with CSV is that it has a logical, obvious structure that is practically self-evident. The very act of having to write an encoder and then a parser makes the various corner-cases inescapable, which means that it is almost impossible to imagine getting it wrong.

Yet, everbody gets it wrong. Everybody. Thoroughly, fantastically, almost unimaginably wrong.

For example, in the Microsoft world: I come across CSVs in about 5 scenarios, all of them very common, most of them designed to interact: Excel, PowerShell's Export-CSV, SQL Server, Power BI, and the Azure Portal. None of these are obscure. None of these use CSV infrequently. Yet, they're all mutually incompatible!!!

That just blows my mind.

For example, SQL Server will output string ",NULL," to represent a null field instead of just a pair of commas (",,"), so every other tool will convert this to the string "NULL", which is not a null.

PowerShell helpfully outputs the "type" of the value it is outputting, like so:

PS C:\> dir | ConvertTo-Csv
#TYPE System.IO.DirectoryInfo
"PSPath","PSParentPath","PSChildName","PSDrive","PSProvider",...

Excel can't open such files! It is entirely unfathomable that the PowerShell team wrote this code and never once double-clicked the resulting CSV to see if it opens successfully in Excel or not. Absolutely mindblowing!

It just goes on and on.

Different quoting rules. Random ability/inability to handle new lines. Different ways of handling quoted versus unquoted string values. Encoding is UTF-8 by default or not. Handling of quote characters within strings. Etc, etc...

Basically, within one vendor's ecosystem, flagship applications have at best a 50:50 chance of opening arbitrary CSV files.

Don't even get me started on the inherent ambiguities of the format, like interpreting dates, times, or high precision decimals, etc...

Oh, and before I forget: the SQL Server Integration Services team wrote lengthy articles on how their engine can process CSV files faster than the competition. Why is this a feature? Because CSV is a woefully inefficient format and processing it fast is an achievement.

Lastly: By default, SQL Server cannot export table data to a flat data file and round-trip it with full fidelity, in any format. Exchanging just a couple of tables between servers is... not fun.

So yes, a replacement format with an efficient, high-fidelity binary format is long overdue.
PayPal in Europe is doing SMS now too. They claim it's for "PSD2" compliance or something. But I already had TOTP 2FA ("Google Authenticator") enabled and I'd prefer to use that instead as it's much safer than SMS. That was never intended to carry secure information. Also, TOTP works even when I have my phone in airplane mode.

Strange thing is it seems to randomly ask for SMS or TOTP now, whichever it feels like at the time.

Still it's weird that an official standard mandates SMS 2FA when more secure methods are available.
you can find this information online, trades (orders after they have been completed) are "public knowledge".

insiders are required to report their trades (search for "sec Edgar").

it is hard to make money knowing that a trade has taken place.. you need to know BEFORE and this is clearly illegal with very serious penalties (martha stewart served jail time...).

Agreed with all of your statements but would love some links to prose or examples of your last point.
There are insider trading rings on tor. If you work at any billion plus dollar publicly traded company, you post insider information you have in exchange for insider information from others. That way the stock bets you make aren't tied to your place of employment. I've got no idea how legit any of it is, though. My company isn't publicly traded.

Having a tight financial situation is one thing, but it's the entitlement that did it for me. If you ask and they say no, that's that. It's why terms of service exist.

Not to mention that I've missed bills with DO when my own financial situation was tight and they didn't kill everything the instant I missed a payment. I used them all through college as a web server and a dev server, and it looks like they gave me about 2 weeks of an outstanding balance before I paid them.

Through insider trading, Martha Stewart avoided a $45,000 loss.

She lied repeatedly to investigators saying among other things that it was a pre-arranged trade. The person that tipped her off admitted everything though.

> So those five labs have a pretty good shot at doing interesting work, even some of that is going to reproduce and some of it isn’t. But once you get out of those top five labs, it’s pretty much make-work, incremental, marginal improvements at best, and a complete waste of time otherwise. And I said “good God, why does the other 90% continue to get funded if you know this?” And he said, “well, there are all these universities and professors who have tenure, there are all these journals, there are all these systems and people have been promised lifetime employment.” Anyway, a longwinded way of saying that we have pretty serious structural and incentive problems in the research complex.
