If it was after the scandal, and you turned the battery-health protection OS “feature” off, then I find it extremely unlikely for it have been the OS doing that—actively lying about what that toggle does would have caused another, even bigger scandal.

Instead, it may have just been a direct, low-level interaction between the battery and the CPU — with the CPU saying “I need more power!” and the battery replying with “she canna handle any more, cap’n, she’s gonna blow!”

(Or more literally: the battery being unable to supply the spike voltages the processor needs in order to boost, and so the CPU’s VRMs noticing that the boost “isn’t working” [by getting browned out] and signalling the CPU to stop trying. Or, alternately, the battery heating up when trying to provide that power, due to increased internal resistance, to the point that the heat so produced, triggers thermal throttling in the CPU. Either way, a CPU that couldn’t get its highest frequency-scaling multipliers going for more than a few milliseconds before stalling and dropping back down. Which would tend to feel slower, and lead to lower benchmarks.)
Time of day is also correlated with time of day, why would Uber use the battery level?
Low-class, I agree. I'm sure they are also still using FSF's code, whom they didn't hesitate to throw under the bus for the chance to virtue-signal over RMS:

Commenter above isn't defending those things though... And in fact revenge porn, CP and other awful content appear across all social platforms. And just like Pornhub they remove them when notified. Thought experiment, what happened to piracy when Napster shut down? What would adding subscription options and regulating Napster have done. Would it have created spotify a decade earlier and disincenvtised the development of Gnutella, bitorrent etc?

Right now we have a moral panic, fuelled by a microscopic proportion of content on a site, being used to fuel laws and economic exclusion to remove freedom of action from an entire industry. The consequences are, if not obvious, entirely predictable. Porn will balkanise, and what regulation exists (very strict in its production, relatively strict in its dissemination) will disappear. Sites like only fans being shut down - as with backpage, will force sex worker into enormously more dangerous street work, and ultimately lead to a vast amount of exploitation. And all this will happen, in practice not to protect the vanishingly smaller numbers of trafficked women, or children who appear on these platforms. But because an ungodly coalition of rabbidly anti-porn, anti-sexwork Christian fundamentalists, and anti-porn, anti-sexwork radical feminists have undue political influence.
Yeah, only if you're putting your stuff in the cloud. The result is the same.
One thing people forget is that some of these hospitals are firing workers for not getting vaccinated which means fewer ICU beds.
Not in CA. I did ask for the data and for my account to be deactivated. Haven't received an email from them yet.
This is a fantastic idea, thanks.
The more I think about it, something that concerns me greatly is the silent use of this for political purposes.

By silent I mean they don't arrest you or put you on any public lists. Instead they just gather information, lots of information, and they use it in future Cambridge Analytica style propaganda campaigns.

I don't mean to imply that only Republicans would do this. After Trump's successful use of this kind of political propaganda every single political party and PR agency on the planet is working on duplicating it.

Arresting people is old fashioned. Modern totalitarianism is built on disinformation, microtargeted propaganda, surveillance, and nudge theory.

It's easy to criticise the article in general terms, but what specifically did you find problematic with the article itself?

Actually, I've found that they tend to be fairly accurate at reporting 'what' is happening - it's hard for several people at the same time to post unique, fake videos of people driving around with guns while others are posting corroborating textual accounts.

The 'why' part is a completely different matter. If there's any interpretation or time difference between the event and the post, scepticism is absolutely warranted.
What's really the most disgusting thing here to me isn't just the sanctions and laws around them, but the fact that these laws have so much weight behind them, as compared to others.

Compare this to any number of other egregious events - like the latest rounds of personal data exposure from various corporations on the front page all of this week - and the fact that things like that have zero repercussions for the corporations who failed to secure our data.

Expose the PII of millions of citizens - zero punishment or repercussions. But oh no, if you happen to have someone in Iran working on your project, then watch out!

Why is there such a gaping, borderline incomprehensible, asymmetry here?

Are you sure about that? This sounds pretty clear as day that sending source code to embargoed countries is illegal:

(i) You may not, without a license or License Exception authorized under part 746, export or reexport any item subject to the EAR to a country that is embargoed by the United States or otherwise made subject to controls as both are described at part 746 of the EAR.

https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?mc=true&node=pt15.2.73...

> (a) Except as set forth in §734.17 or §734.18, Export means:

Don't put pointless sanctions on them?
I think we're in agreement. It's totally an economic/sociological problem.

I was just pointing out that technology's ability to reduce scarcity keeps increasing--so as time goes on, our obsession with scarcity as a motivator is increasingly embarrassing.
The Livejournal era has passed. You can't go back to that on a platform because platforms will continue to be for profit and nobody is going to pay for you to host their blog so you need ads to make the business viable.

The other option is everyone spinning up and hosting their own sites, which will not happen because Helen the mommy blogger has 2 kids to deal with and photos to edit and content to write so she does not also want to learn how to set up hosting and write HTML.

I'd like for certain things to "go back to the way they were" but that's just not how it works usually.
What is going to happen to cam sites, like MyFreeCams, Chaturbate, etc..?

I assume these rules will make accepting paymets impossible for any adult site with live-streaming, and for Cam sites, that's their core business.

Potential answers include a move to cryptocurrency to avoid payment processors, or a move to strictly non-explicit content to appease them.

In the near term, either would decimate these sites. In the long term, crypto might be better for performers, as the cam sites could take a far smaller cut of payments.

To manage mental mapping of what is being drawn, I keep methods that create widget trees short. My rule of thumb is that whole method has to comfortably fit the screen at once. For each section of the main tree I create a static function that returns a branch of the tree. These functions have descriptive names that help you visualize what element each function builds. If a tree inside a function is long, it is broken down in the same way.

There are some fluent extensions (for Xamarin.Forms and probably future MAUI) that help you build UI in declarative fashion with C#. Same extensions could be created for other frameworks.

For reusable custom widgets that can't be done with a static function, I create new classes with their own widget trees. Try to keep widgets composable and avoid inheritance if possible.

Hot reload is coming in .NET 6, so waiting for rebuild will soon be history.

But the thread wasn't defending trafficking. It's claiming that the forces that push the anti-trafficking rules have a hidden agenda, which is not about trafficking at all: They want to get rid of the whole sex industry for religious reasons, specifically including the legal and consensual part. That's a different goal altogether.
Encryption during transit and rest really don't count as encryption, at least not in this context. Apple can decrypt them time to do things like scan them for CSAM. I assumed I wouldn't need to state the obvious.

And yes, Apple have been scanning uploaded photos since about 2019. At least, that's when they modified their terms and conditions to allow it.

Because MasterCard and Visa are essentially a global duopoly - they most certainly should not be allowed to discriminate against any legal industry, even if it is extremely high risk. Because that leads to very serious harm for people who legitimately work in those industries. It should be as hard for MasterCard or Visa to not serve a company as it is for a utility to turn off the water to a home.
Opinion - NYT and any credible newspaper should run a conflict-of-interest statement on every "opinion" piece they accept. It should be 1 paragraph giving the name of the person who chose to run the story, a 2-sentence justification, and a formal statement that they had no financial, personal, or self-interest motive or connection to this piece/author/topic.
Not sure about the US but in Europe and UK, GDPR would not permit them to collect anything that is not strictly needed without explicit consent.

The Data Minimisation principle says you should only collect what you need.

They can soft-opt you in to certain things if you have a business relationship (news letter) but this should be opt-outable, I think even at purchase time.

It would also not permit the extension of data collection without consent (or another acceptable basis, but that would be unlikely). In the case of a service online, I guess you could potentially say if you don't like it, don't use the service but with hardware, I don't think this would fly.
I certainly appreciate dreaming, but you are missing domestic violence[0], the I want shiny thing effect, rape[1], jalousy murder and all traffic violations, which are probably going to be worse when drugs are more freely available.

> In order to say things like "my brain" one is necessarily creating a distinction between themselves as thinking subject and a "lower self" which consists of a biological substrate.

Come on, that's a stretch. I think it's clear from context that this is referring to unconscious vs conscious awareness, in the like one case where I failed to specifically highlight this distinction (because I wanted to head off just this claim). Both of course happen in the same slab of meat.

> This was an issue that Kant grappled with, in that the mind cannot distance itself from itself. When we "understand the game theoretic strategy that our brain is executing", we are still implicated in other "game theoretic strategies", we've just made certain ones manifest and chosen to ignore others.

Sure, but consider: [1] [2]. Of course conscious deliberation is just another strategy, but it's a strategy that benefits from clarity. There is no good reason why reason and deliberation should be unable to close over itself, let alone as "separate" a component as emotional state.

Reason is a strategy that rose to some prominence in human evolutionary history because it is extraordinarily effective at making sense of the natural world. (Note: There's some claims that reason rose to prominence because it made humans good at making up sensible claims to deceive others - but this sort of evolutionary history would still produce a system that's good at inference, if only as a side effect. Compare GANs.)

> that requires turning in the opposite direction: asking questions to the emotions themselves rather than to the world, which requires an entirely different conceptual toolkit

Now who's doing dualism? The emotions are part of and arose from within the world. Without looking at the historical context in which they evolved, you may not be able to even understand what they're trying to tell you.

And sure, a lot of evpsych is just-so trash. But especially around the game theory of emotions, I think the conclusions hold up.

>They literally explained in detail how they are sourcing videos, I'm sorry if you didn't pay attention or don't understand it. I have heard a lot of criticism of Tesla from experts, but not a single one questioned the video clip sourcing.

I realize they explained how they source the videos, which is in direct contradiction to previous claims. Was this your first rodeo?

>Do you have the measure of all Tesla data that went threw cell towers and can prove that they didn't upload a few million clips?

Right, it's now just a few million clips, not billions of miles of footage from multiple cameras, something they had previously claimed. Remember, their vast fleet video data was a massive competitive advantage. The goal posts changed last night. People questioned whether they ever had all that data (your "conspiracy"). Turns out they don't, and don't use it like that. So the "conspiracy" was correct.

for a long while i was thinking my comments on facebook would raise the quality of interaction, but with the onslaught of disinformation my thoughtful and respectful comments (or so I think) seem to be futile and just fodder for the facebook network and the attention economy.

So I wrote a goodbye note on instagram and facebook, felt confirmation by reading Jaron Lanier. Got a new domain and configured jekyll.

Now I can blog and write my 'digital garden' notes on my own island and share it with a smaller circle of people outside of the regular social media which artificially disciplines my thoughts, responses and behavior like the panopticon (michel foucault). I'll keep an eye on facebook groups, will schedule some script to rss-ify some feeds from 'facebook friends' but that's it.

Make sure you are at least using user namespaces which drop the mknod cap by their nature, or better yet in rootless mode.

I have filed several bugs that I know can result in breakout but as I can't make myself disclose vulnerabilities I have no stick to get them to change their 'wont fix' decisions.

k8s doesn't support user namespaces let alone user mount namespaces.

Here is the open issue.

https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/127

The point being that for k8s and docker, any role that allows you to create pods/containers or to compromise such a role with any hop number should be considered as having root permissions.

While I won't share any non-privileged breakouts, here is an example of how easy it is with the --privileged flag.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36425230/privileged-cont...

While I am not recommending it in general, AppArmor is fairly easy to develop CI friendly restrictions with and I would strongly suggest you protect the directory space and devices that you don't use with it.

Not perfect but it typically can help prevent leaks caused by adding features or configuration errors.

Runc using seccomp to make a container process make the one-way transition into a "secure" state and through dropped capabilities is what provides additional security.

Hiding pids doesn't matter when any container can list /dev or look through /sys and /proc to find device major and minor numbers or to modify kernel parameters or files that are mistakenly given write access.

The overwriting of the runc executable CVE that recently happened will give an actual case there.

Namespaces are more about decoupling and avoiding pollution than security.

Just like chroot, the shared kernel instance has a large attack surface, especially if you don't leverage all of the tools provided.

As you are effectively running arbitrary code from users, I would highly suggest you look into non container runtime protection.

It can be made reasonably safe but an overconfidence in containers being inherently secure will make you a target.

If you are on k8s you should be using anti-affinity or taints to make sure containers running external user code is not running on the same nodes as other containers or better than that have a dedicated k8s for that need.

Especially if you have persistent storage as user mount point namespaces are new in the kernel and default mounts typically are implemented by granting CAP_SYS_ADMIN capabilities(7)
You (and Apple) have no way of knowing if the photos that will flag you are actually illegal content. The repository is a black box.
I think the real issue here is not whether it should be legal to switch privacy policy after purchase. LG shouldn't be allowed to collect more info than it requires. It seems absurd to me that a washer-dryer needs to access bookmark history etc. to function.

I would contact my local data protection authority and alert them of this practice. I guess LG would get in some trouble :). My initial instinct is that this collecting this info from a washer-dryer is wildly illegal.

I think it is unfair to label a platform with a two hundred dollar entry barrier as an equalizer. VoIP and allied technologies are the real enablers and ad-supported platforms like WhatsApp et al. have been true equalizers by allowing anyone to communicate with anyone at marginal costs. The ease of picking up the phone and calling somebody with no consideration of cost has enabled so many people to connect and communicate on a more frequent basis.

> How do you put sanctions without hurting the people?

It's not possible. If a country enacting sanctions has a large enough economy (and thus significant global influence)*, the sanctions are essentially a siege of an entire country. Those who advocate or consent to them in policy should be aware that they are waging a war of attrition and the goal (and only possible effect) is for the castle to run out of food and water or, before that happens, for the peasants to revolt and fight their war against the king for them.

* This is because that country can force all other countries it trades with to get in line with those sanctions by refusing to trade with them if they don't. If those countries are dependent enough, then they have essentially no choice. Even if they are not, they may end up facing their own internal revolts by giving up that trade.
> do we really need to know breaking news, instantly?

There are good reasons, although I share your general concern. E.g., if you believe that you may be affected by an event, or if it's important/relevant enough that others will start to frame how it's perceived, it's generally good to find out about it as it's happening.

On the other hand, the vast majority of trending events aren't worth being concerned about for most people.
