Either way, it's high enough that adding a single file to the set wouldn't be a useful way of finding people who have that file. One attack I can imagine would be to add a whole set of closely related photos (e.g. images posted online by a known dissident) to identify the person who took them, and even that would be a stretch.
I concede that there are overlapping issues there. But if you're saying there aren't places China goes with this sort of info that's different from the US, I don't think any debate would change your mind.
Just remember the best engineers are assigned to the least important projects. That way nobody is afraid to interrupt them as whatever they are on is more important. It also means your second best can develop to the best instead of relying on the best to do everything. So if you are a great developer you shouldn't get that time. (on the other hand, not getting that time will degrade your skills until you need to admit you are second best and drop back to leading something while someone else takes the interruptions)
Followup - FB is very family friendly! Most teams are developing their remote work policies, and I frequently hear discussions around coordinating meeting times so they aren't setup during school dropoff/pickup times. The company also has generous parental leave policy (4 months, dads also get this). There are other benefits and policies that specifically address parental challenges, and the health care coverage has blown both my and my partner's minds with how good it is.
LibreOffice is generally a little less aggressive about formatting, but still has issues similar to Excel.

For me personally, I usually view things in Excel/LO but don't save, and if I need to modify anything I'll use a text editor for one-off changes, or I'll use something like Python with the pandas library for more programmatic changes. Pandas does have issues forcing timestamps to convert sometimes, but that can be easily configured. Otherwise, no problems with this method.

There's definitely a lot of friction if you want to edit .CSV's without your formatting/encoding being altered, unfortunately.
Maybe it's not investor money but issues with payment processors. Credit card companies don't like porn for some reason, and they're in a position where they can enforce such limits on many platforms.
I'd honestly believe such pressure came from US domestic intelligence or law enforcement agencies just as easily as from China.
Sorry, but drug screening is a completely valid and necessary safety measure for many professions, including anyone who works with heavy machinery or industrial equipment. Most jobs are not in silicon valley, and people can be hurt or killed when an employee shows up intoxicated.
It's very likely the pressure is coming from Visa and MasterCard (especially MC) rather than at the level of CCbill.
I believe all US debts to private creditors can be settled in dollars. Any debtor can take a creditor to court if the creditor tries to demand payment in other forms.

To reach the masses you probably have to go with "know your customer" (KYC) requirements that are going to scare lots of people away when they have to upload photos of their passport and stuff like that to a website.

And governments and banks are going to impose the same restrictions somehow.

Unless they use a coin that is private, all transactions are going to be recorded in the blockchain and publicly viewable to everyone. Nobody wants their porn purchases to be public knowledge.

It will probably eventually get there but probably at least 5 years out.
Or Google with Chrome (way more reach than Android), or Microsoft with Windows, etc. This is why I reject slippery slope arguments for software updates to auto-updating platforms. They already have the ability to ship literally any conceivable software to millions of people, so the "slippery slope" already exists trivially for the evilest software you can imagine.
smells like a publicity stunt to me. "omg. wtf, onlyfans, I won't be able to pay my bills" a million sex workers howl into social media. For 2 months. october rolls around, "we've decided to reverse course". So much free publicity.
The only way this matters [today] though is if apple turns it on for all pictures, not just icloud ones. Presumably "Chinese iCloud" already scans uploaded photos cloud side.

Unless the goal is to simply the effort/expense of scanning by making it a client process.
It made me aware of, then helped me get off, the “hedonic treadmill”. Saving more to invest is one part of being able to retire early; needing less to be happy right now and later is even more important.

If you don't actually have CSAM then the person at Apple who visually audits the collision set will not send your info to law enforcement, and nothing will be confiscated. Apple doesn't just take any instance of a collision and send it to the FBI.
Stripe's hands are tied - they need financial services to operate and banks (and CC processors) are the ones pushing down these puritanical values.

Absolutely. Wikipedia itself acknowledges the problem:

Many Wikipedians have seen the effects that paid advocates can have on an article. These paid editors tend to make obviously biased edits, be very persistent, and are easily identifiable. But some of them are much more sophisticated.

The implication is that these are conflicts over water, but they're not. They're "conflicts" in that something happened that somehow involved water in the periphery. Very misleading list.
I'm a dutch native and can give some background on the "black money". Growing up in the 80s, it was everywhere, in every sector. You could work a factory job and in part be paid in untaxed money.

Now that society is a lot less cash based, this practice is very uncommon as it comes to wages in normal jobs. It still exists in exactly the type of work you describe: any type of contracting where a private individual (home owner) is the client. Cleaners and gardeners working for private individuals may also be entirely paid this way.

These last remaining pockets of untaxed money continue to exist as the cost of regulation is higher than the reward. For example, cleaners typically do it as a side job, and they'd simple stop cleaning altogether when taxed on their low income. So it's better to just tolerate it.

Further, black money is considered spending money. You can't really hoard it and buy a house with it. You'd have to explain to the IRS where this money comes from. So it's considered "extra" money, money to directly spend in the economy, so it flows back in any case.
Reddit's gone to lengths to hide it, so casual users aren't hitting it by accident two clicks off an unrelated Google search result page, not on "/r/all", which gets advertisers what they want, without the uproar that banning porn would cause.
Of course Apple would do it. They’d look like fools for saying they want to stop CP, then refusing the listen to the government of nearly a billion people when it says “Please ban this newly produced material”.

At best, they would look biased. At worst, they would be sending a signal that they don’t care about Chinese children.

You wouldn’t even need government strong arming, mobs of netizens would happily tear Apple down.
You are a missing a proof of max area. Exactly what author complains about. According her (and not only) teaching math problems just to memorize is not very useful.

In-depth interview with BitClout Founder Diamondhands
Kudos on creating something. It looks like it will be slick, and the impression is that it will be nice to use.

But ...

No way of trying it without registering? No way of seeing what it looks like? No list of "cards" in the system? Can I add new data?

There's very little information to make a decision as to whether to invest time and effort in registering and then learning.
Zimki was SO far ahead of its time - it was at least five years too early. Server-side JavaScript, Heroku-style PaaS, with its own object storage - back in 2006.

I was at the 2007 OSCON where Simon Wardley resigned on-stage after Canon changed their mind on open sourcing it. That was quite a moment!
I agree that I'm underestimating the startup cost. That's inevitable, I think. I can only counter by saying that I think we're also underestimating the benefits of being self-sustaining at the scale of TSMC, especially with the changing political landscape re: China.
This is going to be corporate suicide on a greater scale than Tumblr's policy.

I say greater because OnlyFans is/was still on a massive upswing whereas Tumblr was 10 years past its peak already when the nails went in the coffin.

Edit: I understand this is supposedly not their choice.

Your cart is in front of your horse.

Housing is only the kind of attractive investment vehicle you describe in an environment where the price is artificially inflated by constrained supply from zoning and other regulations.

I promise you, if the price wasn't rising so rapidly and reliably, investors would find other places to park their capital.

Build housing to meet demand and the investors will go elsewhere.
Visa and Mastercard allow adult. They just force you to pay the "high-risk" category. Which is much higher fees. OF can't get away with only charging models 20% if credit card processing is taking more than half of that.

I suspect they are currently not classified as adult and the banks are saying, look, you are almost entirely adult so you have to pay us more.
In some locations you are not allowed to do this because rain water is collected by someone downstream of you, and so your barrel is taking water from someone else. Check your local situation.
This doesn't make any sense. It's like if the Food Network suddenly announced that due to mounting pressure from advertisers, they would no longer be airing any cooking shows.
> The only way this matters though is if apple turns it on for all pictures,

And there’s no way the CCP would order Apple to do that.
If thats true then isn't equality of any sort impossible?
I think the actual issue is that Apple wasn't scanning enough user data, so the government or the FBI or some other external force was holding them accountable for it out of public view, and Apple was pressured into increasing the amount of scanning they conducted.

"U.S. law requires tech companies to flag cases of child sexual abuse to the authorities. Apple has historically flagged fewer cases than other companies. Last year, for instance, Apple reported 265 cases to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, while Facebook reported 20.3 million, according to the center’s statistics. That enormous gap is due in part to Apple’s decision not to scan for such material, citing the privacy of its users."

It’s Not a Competition, but Renewables Are Beating Nuclear Anyway
Well, at least in New York City, there's a city tax and that is progressive too. There are property taxes, and they are progressive as well. Property sales taxes are also progressive. Not sure how those ITEP guys did their analysis, but for NYC at least, it is way off. There's no way that the top 1% of the people in NYC pay only 7.4% in (non-federal) income tax. You could say that their analysis is for the state as a whole, but it's virtually guaranteed that the vast majority of the top 1% earners live in NYC.
A routine is a pattern of behavior, while a ritual is a specific, repeated set of processes associated with a routine.

This is a DIY EDM(Electrical discharge machine). Proffesional machines are much better (and more expensive too).

What is good about EDM is that it doesn't care about the hardness of the material you work with , only about its conductivity. You can shape diamond or the strongest steel without problems.
I don't know where to find a trustworthy list, but I've read that several of the biggest ones are fitness influencers and personal trainers who do preview videos on Instagram/YouTube/Twitch and use OnlyFans to post the full routine/program and provide individual consultation. Granted, there's not exactly a bright line between fitness content and softcore porn, but they're typically not put in the same category for administrative/policy purposes.
There may also be the effect of surviving historical records. Lots of things from the more distant past wouldn't end up being recorded.
So far I have no specific reason to think China goes places that are as deeply consequential and chilling than the US. What’s Assange up to these days?
That's my experience as an adult with ADHD and an Adderall prescription. I've never taken more than my prescribed dose so I don't get "high", but I do get the sense that I might if I took quite a bit more.
So basically this just begs for the owners to create two clearly differentiated brands: (1) the current one will probably die like Tumblr but they have some high-profile non-porn creators so I think they will keep going for a while, (2) the second one geared towards porn mainly and accepting alternative payment methods like Webmoney, Paysafecard and others. They can start accepting credit cards and Paypal initially to gain users, and when the pressure builds up, drop the banks and hope that the users are so attached to their content they'll use the alternative methods.
Gangs can be every bit as territorial as formal polities.
I know exactly what the differences are between VB5/6 and VB.NET and also saw the futility of adopting VB.NET for greenfield projects. I am no spring chicken.

In the 90's I was neck deep in the land of COM/DCOM and CORBA. Our proof of the pudding, for the stuff we were building to talk to CORBA endpoints, was whether our VB5/6 apps could consume our bridge libraries and start passing sane data backwards and forwards with some janky J2EE horror show. And then we did the same with .NET1 (beta) via COM Interop to those libs etc etc. This is why I know the subject matter well, even if it is 20+ years ago.

Anyhoo, that's my appeal to authority, but I'll agree to disagree.
This is racism against womyn and sexy workers.
Banning sugar and caffeine would be tough.

For sugar, what do you actually ban? Added sugar? There's plenty of sugar in fruits, especially when you juice them. How do you enforce this? Seems like a nightmare to figure out.

Caffeine is interesting. It's actually physically addictive. I can't find any studies on long term effects of caffeine in children, though.

And, of course, there's exactly 0 support to do any of that, which can't be ignored. Probably a better use of everyone's time to improve health education.
So the history channel then?
Yes. Why not? They should make hardware and publish the specs. Of course. That is very unlikely due to the power they already have.
A Longtime Military Photographer Has a New Passion Project: Bugs
Exactly. Apple can already ship literally any conceivable software to iPhones. Do people really think their plan was to sneak functionality into this update and then update the CSAM database later, and they would have gotten away with it if it weren't for the brilliant privacy advocates pointing out that this CSAM database could be changed over time? That's pretty ludicrous. If the Chinese government wanted to (and thought it had sufficient leverage over Apple), they could literally just tell Apple to issue a software update that streams all desired private data to Chinese government servers.
It’s quite possible that you implied this, but I think that the true positives are the ones that had a mental health toll.
So, they're effectively killing off AVX-512 in the consumer space before it even really caught on. Makes me wonder whether AMD will bother with it at all. Either way, given the QoL improvements that were in the instruction set, this is very sad news for those of us writing SIMD code on a regular basis. Guess I'll be writing AVX-2 for another decade...

Is there anything else on OnlyFans? Without porn, OnlyFans is just another Patreon knock-off.
> Have we established that a US NGO is accepting "CSAM" hashes from China or that they are cooperating with them at all?

I believe Apple's intention is to accept hashes from all governments, not just one US organization. One of their ineffectual concessions to the criticism was to require two governments provide the same hash before they'd start using it.
yes. I haven't read atomic habits but I also understand it is a similar approach.

Worth taking the free 5 day program via email on the tiny habits website.

The insight there is that you need less motivation to act if the action is very easy so you make it as easy as necessary so that you don't need much motivation.
...for how long? There were rumors they were getting rid of adult and then they put out an announcement saying that they would always be inclusive of sex workers. Then they just announced this.

Their credibility is gone.
Similar phenomenon exists about other relationships with issues - marital, employees, siblings, friends.

Sometimes people talk about them and the stories sound similar. No details, hints or missing reasons, other parties acting completely oddly out of nowhere.
> But sex work still has a stigma. And OnlyFans is trying to raise money from outside investors at a valuation of more than $1 billion.

> The company handled more than $2 billion in sales last year, and is on pace to more than double that this year. It keeps 20% of that figure.

So they're killing the golden goose to placate outside money when they already are making ~800M a year?

Something here doesn't really add up but I don't know enough about this field to see what I'm missing.

From the post yesterday discussing collisions, it doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility to take an image of CSAM and modify it until it has the hash that matches another target wanted either.
> Reddit seems to have resisted whatever calls it must be getting to eliminate porn

Not entirely. They purged all NSFW subreddits from the r/all and r/popular meta subreddits. They also go on a purging binge whenever a remotely taboo subreddit makes the news.

Capital gains are double taxation though so it makes sense that they are lower because of that fact.
The origin of a script of unknown functionality to be executed on the client can only tell you so much about the linkage of accounts on the backend.
I would also recommend interviewing. I've interviewed at most of the big ones. It has been an interesting experience, even though it was never a good fit.

If you should take the extra money depends on your personal situation. Personally, I worked at a company because of the money and work/life balance for 4 years. I somewhat regret it, but if I hadn't have done that it potentially could have cost me millions that I have now, which have put me in a much better place stress wise.

Why is this question being downvoted? I too would like to know what this attack achieves.

From what I see, the end result of false flagging is either someone has CSAM in iCloud and you push them over the threshold that results in reporting and prosecution, or there is no CASM, so the reviewer sees all of the hash collision images, including those that are natural.

Is the problem that an attacker can force natural hash collision images to be viewed by a reviewer, violating that persons privacy? Do we know if this process is different than how Google, Facebook, Snapchat, Dropbox, Microsoft, and others have implemented these necessarily fuzzy matches for their CSAM scans of cloud hosted?

Or am I missing something that the downvoters saw?
I second this! I found a great way to keep myself fit(let me leave out the gory details on how and why this is working) sooo the secret how to be fit: work out for no longer than 3min but every single day!and work out in a hiit fashion = no pauses in-between, 3min of pure uninterrupted workout _every_ single day! if yo can't get this 3min thing to work you probably won't have the mental capacity/lack the so-much needed self discipline to be successful
