It's probable that the sweet taste is enough to cause some (modest, I'd guess), insulin secretion, but other than that there are not excess calories, so won't interfere with the normal functioning of the liver.
This seems ridiculous. If the government doesn't have the authority to mandate vaccinations, then banning unvaccinated people from participating in life should also be outside of its authority.

We should not be taking further steps to protect people who are able but not willing to be vaccinated. If you are unable to be vaccinated, then you can stay home voluntarily (this order just makes it mandatory which doesn't seem like an improvement).
> The system relies on a database of hashes—cryptographic representations of images—of known CSAM photos provided by National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and other child protection organizations.

“Cryptographic representations of images”. That’s not the case though right? These are “neuralhashes” afaik which are nowhere close to cryptographic hashes but rather locality sensitive hashes which is a fancy speak for “the closer two images look like, the more similar the hash”.

Vice and others keeps calling the cryptographic. Am I missing something here?
Have you considered that Apple might have a second neural hashing network which is hidden and they let this one network be hacked to throw people off?
Worse in what way. A .5% death rate. I'm not getting vaccinated specifically for my own health reasons.

Wirelessly charging your e-bike
I personally appreciate this approach, I tend to do a first pass read on ebooks and if I find it of high value and the subject is not temporal (e.g learn Flash development). I always purchase the physical book for my library. I don't mind paying twice, if I have some confidence that the material will be of value, but it does cause me to pass on some texts that I may have found worth buying the physical book had I not passed on the ebook.
How being vaccinated allow the government to control you? Are you implying there is a chip in the vaccine allowing them to control you?

I’m half joking each time i see a comment like that I don’t understand what you think the government is trying to achieve by vaccinating you.

The only evil thing I can think of is some politicians would make more money if more people get vaccinated because they own shares of the company producing the vaccine.

But if that’s is the case nothing is stopping you to go ahead and also buy stock of pharma
Im guessing the visual derivative is a difference of sorts between the image and the CSAM? Of course not sure.

The pros and cons listed hear mirror my own views of Elm. Although, we’ve only got a handful of small Elm apps in production it’s a joy to work on them.

I remember a story about someone's children going through a civics course, which somehow lead to the children petitioning the municipality to install a 4-way stop sign at a notorious intersection. They got the stop signs installed.

When I see stories like yours, I just think that people have no expectation that government at any level will be responsive to the needs or proposals of the citizenry (which is also my expectation, frankly). I find that sobering to acknowledge.
It isn't about them not letting me engrave whatever I want.

If Apple said "sorry, we cannot engrave 8964 because we don't allow strings that are shorter than 5 characters" that's one story.

But Apple essentially says "sure, we can engrave 8964, but only as long as you are not a customer residing in China, because eeeeh reasons. Please pick another 4-digit number instead.". That's pretty telling.

They are also banning "STANDWITHHONGKONG" as well. I would have no problems with that if Apple came out and said "we don't support the ongoing free Hong Kong movement, because we are on the side of CCP in this situation, so we won't engrave it". But guess what? They won't do that. And what about 人权 (human rights) and 新聞自由 (Freedom of the press) being on that banlist as well?

And don't try to bring up the "muslim bakery refuses to make that specific gay-themed cake for a couple" incident. In their case, it makes sense. The bakery owners agreed to make the cake for the couple, as long as it isn't gay-themed, because homosexuality is against their religious beliefs, and the bakery owners have openly stated so. How about Apple actually having the decency to do the same? If Apple refuses to make those engravings, sure, but Apple should explain to us where they stand on this issue in the open then.

That’s not wrong, but it ignores the effects of catecholamine metabolism and the co-storage of dopamine and noradrenaline in the same vesicles. Noradrenaline release necessarily causes dopamine release, but also an increase in the activity of dopamine beta-hydroxylase, which starts converting more dopamine into noradrenaline — hence the drop below baseline, discomfort and drive.
Exactly none of those are what ambiguity means. Ambiguity means that there are multiple resolutions that fit the existing evidence equally well.

That doesn't mean you get to decide. Ambiguity isn't choose your own adventure. You aren't having agency assigned to you in order to be the ultimate arbiter.

Ambiguity is the opposite. You are having agency withheld and being told by the author that you don't get to know.

It's an exercise in accepting that some things are unknowable and a challenge to you to find enjoyment in the story despite that.

Maybe you fail at that challenge. That's ok. Some people demand their art be unlike life, in that everything is always fully explained. But some people enjoy the construction, the ride, and the occasional recollection and reconsideration as time goes on. Ambiguous art is for for them.

But it's not a choose your own adventure story for anyone.
Edit: "The main purpose of the hash is to ensure that identical and visually similar images result in the same hash, and images that are different from one another result in different hashes."[1]

Biden Refusing to Help the 40k American Hostages Stuck in Afghanistan
You can't go to a bar if you are under 21 in the US. It's been deemed a danger to American society to allow those to drink (even though I believe 21 is heavy-handed). But minors in most countries are barred from being in a bar, to avoid endangerment to themselves and others.

There's a few issues here.

The first is that Google has specifically chosen to call out an answer in some kind. If the query is reasonably framed as a question, there is a clear indication in the UI that the response is meant to be an answer to that question.

Now it's definitely the case that a lot of questions have some amount of semantic ambiguity that a listener would have to resolve. For example, a question about a "president" can reasonably be inferred to mean specifically a "US president" of some kind, at least if the query is from the US and is in English.

And sometimes people can ask questions where there's a confused detail. And responding with the question they probably meant to ask is not unreasonable.

However--and this is a big however--it is incumbent to emphasize that the answer is for a different question than the one that was literally asked. You see this when you do searches of misspelled terms: "did you mean this one instead?" Because occasionally, no, you did mean the term that has much fewer results.

And this kind of emphasize-the-answer can have poor results sometimes. Ask Google which president became supreme dictator. The answer makes it clear why it thinks that, but... that's a really different question from the one that was asked.

If you write right-to-left and use little-endian writing order then you still write the least significant digit first, so the one's places line up along the right edge. The advantage is the same.
> It is an amazing amount of extra tracking/surveillance that is being introduced to everyone's everyday activities and is an intrusion into the lives of all, vaccinated and unvaccinated alike.

A simple regulation could also make this safe from surveillance while still allowing verification:

Allow people to check identity, but make it illegal to store or share this information.

There are so many small, simple laws that could go long ways to protect people from surveillance while still allowing us to do new things to protect us. I wish we got 10% of the obvious laws many people want.

If you’re trying to frame this as “we need to prevent Congress from ever passing something like the EARN IT act”, I agree. Apple and other tech companies already lobby Congress. Why aren’t they lobbying for encryption?

The idea that because the state of the art right now is flawed that Apple should give up misses the point.

Even if it is flawed, in a few years Apple will just release a new version or a different technique that works more effectively for its stated purpose. Other companies will silently improve the server-side scanning techniques they already use after the public outcry started by Apple blows over.

So long as companies feel the need to protect themselves from liability for hosting certain kinds of data, be it criminal or political or moral or anything else, there are no societal checks in place to stop them from doing so.

This is not a technological issue like so many people are trying to frame it as; it is a policy issue.

They did, they lobbied heavily against EARN IT, and so did groups like the ACLU and EFF. However, it didn't stop Congress members from moving it along through the process - they were only stopped because Congress just ran out of time. It was clear that Congress was not interested in listening at all to the lobbyists on the issue.

It's clear that EARN IT could literally be revived any day if Apple didn't do something to say "we don't need it because we've already satisfied your requirements."

> Teams end up spending half of their time or more solving problems that could have been accomplished quickly with some off the shelf React libraries with numerous tutorials online.

I dunno, having seen both sides, there are pros and cons to each.

Teams that reach for libs quickly often think in terms of libraries instead of solutions (one recent example was some folks who were asking for my advice on some over-engineered client-side PDF generation thing, and me suggesting `window.print()` as a solution, considering this was for an internal tool and you effectively want print stylesheets anyways), and often use them as crutches due to a self-fulfilling cycle of "I don't know how to do X, let's use a library so I never need to find out" (and then pulling in a huge lib to do the job of a literal one-liner regex - `uuid.validate()`, looking at you). In my experience, they also often end up buried by their own complexity due to gluing too many things together. But at the same time, it's hard to argue with the ease with which one can plop a modal dialog or a calendar or a collapsible table in a React app.

I find that teams working with more exotic technologies tend to be more creative with solutions (e.g. "oh there's no zoomable map UI lib bindings, so let's ask ourselves, do we really need a map library for that contact us page or is a static jpg good enough?") and a have a deeper appreciation for how hard things are to implement. But conversely, UX can suffer from too much "creativity". For example, if care is not taken w/ accessibility concerns for some UI element. Or, as you said, things just take longer to ship because people need to reinvent wheels.
Millions Hacked in T-Mobile Data Breach
Stay away from me and my family, thanks.
CSV files can be made much nicer by the simple switch to tab-delimited. It doesn't solve all the issues by any means, but makes just enough of a difference to be 'okay'.

Whatever is used, I like that tab-delimited (or even csv) is a human-readable and always-machine-readable long-term data format in the same way as ASCII (or Markdown etc) is for text. A hundred years from now, assuming the storage medium is still usable, the content should be easily recoverable. That may not be the case with spreadsheet files or other structured data formats.

"This information is not difficult to find"

Then please find and supply it. -I- have had difficulty finding it. It certainly isn't so easy to find as "here is a linked citation supporting my claim", since you've yet to provide one.

"The Real ID Act is the latest attempt but it has been delayed for many years by State non-compliance and general unwillingness to share their identity databases with the Federal government." - not at all. Everything you said just in this post is incorrect, but more egregiously (and why I'm not even bothering to point out why it's incorrect), it's also -irrelevant-. Real ID...isn't mandatory. Not at the state level, not at the federal level.

"The ID required to vote is a State ID, which is perfectly Constitutional" - there isn't an ID required to vote according to the Constitution. In practice, most states also don't require any form of ID. Hence all the bills by the GOP to try and require one, while also doing nothing to ensure it is affordable and convenient (i.e., creating a form of poll tax); the GOP doesn't even care about it as an ID system, just as a form of voter suppression.

Which is my point; no legislature, not even the people trying to require ID for things, is pushing for mandatory IDs. It's not against the Constitution as far as I can tell, and you've done nothing to convince me; it just isn't politically worth pushing for given the resistance it would face so has never happened.
There’s no such thing as an “unintrusive” list. They make the lists for a reason.
If an excel spreadsheet is setup properly, this conversion doesn't happen. If the cells are designated as "text", then conversion doesn't happen.

This is definitely a problem if you are just opening a raw CSV file and editing it as the default cell type does allow autoconversion.
