What's the point of nagging with a modal window "your random app, that you installed from a random website on the internet, which means you really want to use this specific app, is behaving in a shady manner, are you okay with this?"

At least they get the choice? If they need something so badly they're happy to give it whatever permissions, fine, but at least they're aware and consented.

I don't know why you think nobody ever would decline, I and I assume many people do on mobile devices. Especially now that more recent (Android anyway) versions allow/require a sort of 'progressive' acquiring of permissions, prompt when it's needed and not before.

Apple & Google clearly think some people want to decline some of the time (and enough that it should be an option), or at least that it's a good way to deliver awareness.
Digital Transformation in Manufacturing
I wonder why this genre kind of faded away.

Most likely sales of course, but I always thought Wipeout had a cult like following.
I hate that as a solution. I've had strange issues with software that I couldn't debug, but when I ran it as root in a test VM, it worked instantly. So I immediately knew it was a permission issue and started digging through the docs for a list of files it needed access to. I then fixed the permissions for it and ran it without root in production.

If the software limited me to not running as root, I would have probably spent far longer debugging other issues and digging through 100s of lines of strace output.

Without arguing the merit of your personal position, "this isn't Minority Report" is a terrible argument. Minority Report is about pre-crime. If someone has CSAM on their phone (and it's not a false positive), they are already actively committing a crime.
An airport parking facility burned to the ground in Norway a couple of years ago because an ICE car went up in flames while parked.
I would have probably either:

1. dropped out and not gotten a job

2. Stayed in an abusive and unsafe environment and ended up on the streets in a few months when my mom was evicted

My first "apartment" was 600/month (1 room in someone else's apartment) and if took me months to save up for to be able to do it with a buffer if I lost my job mainly because how much I was spending on college and gas and misc life stuff.

I have photos because I was so excited to get my "own" place I showed my boss. I should dig them up sometime.
Well, the boxes sound really nice – good luck with that:)

Yes, the diligent review performed by the lowest-bidding subcontractor is an excellent defense against career-ending criminal accusations. Nothing can go wrong, this is fine.
It was just research. I'm interested in audio&video over IP, I already had a good grip on HLS, RTP, and a few others, and wanted to dive into WebRTC, RTSP, etc. I don't know but all of this feels like there's a simpler solution (like HLS vs DASH) waiting to be discovered.
Hello friends, this is a Django project that we are going to use to submit sensitive data across the departments of our (public sector) organization. It uses Openpgp.js to encrypt/decrypt all files locally to the users's browsers and tries to make the PGP experience as flawless as possible for non-techical people.

I'm submitting it in case anybody finds it useful for his organization but also if somebody would like to take a peek and give me any security related feedback.

Thank you!
I miss the solar powered bins with crushers.

Hopefully once everyone hits the mythical 90% we can begin to reopen boarders for actual research.
This doesn't look like "fake news" to me.

So I don't see this as overreaction. If you make something that can do mistakes that can cost someone their job or harm significantly, you should provide some ways it can be fixed fast. And not via months of talking with a wall.

Small correction the person who was pictured who lost their job lost it for sending threats to OP. They deserve the blame.

And since your entire point is based on someone losing their job over the knowledge panel then it seems like your point is moot?

"How can you use it for targeted attacks?"

Just insert a known CSAM image on target's device. Done.

I presume this could be used against a rival political party to ruin their reputation - insert bunch of CSAM images on their devices. "Party X is revealed as an abuse ring". This goes oh-so-very-nicely with Qanon conspiracy theories which even don't require any evidence to propagate widely.

Wait for Apple to find the images. When police investigation is opened, make it very public. Start a social media campaign at the same time.

It's enough to fabricate evidence only for a while - the public perception of the individual or the group will be perpetually altered, even though it would surface later that the CSAM material was inserted by hostile third party.

You have to think about what nation state entities that are now clients of Pegasus and so on could do with this. Not how safe the individual component is.
So how would that be determined, especially if you disable location services and/or use a VPN?
> Low voltage DC (like 12V) requires MUCH thicker cables for the same power, which means a lot more copper (and copper mining). Typical line voltage can be very lightweight.

-48V DC has been a thing with telco equipment for decades: it's what a landline telephone uses for signalling.

If we'd use anything DC, it would probably be that.
I agree with this sentiment fully. Apple's CSAM is laying the foundation for a surveillance network to spy on its users - (Apple is Preparing to Comply with Indian Govt's New IT Rules - iPhones (and other Apple devices) will soon start deploying built-in surveillance to spy on its users. https://old.reddit.com/r/unitedstatesofindia/comments/oyqjq0... ).
I'll go on the record predicting the opposite. Higher abstraction societies have higher co-ordination costs, something we're seeing now in ever growing administrative overhead. Much of what people are complaining about upthread is the higher percentage of resources going towards nonproductive, bureaucratic managerial tasks. We're probably going to get a reprieve in the short term as more of these are automated, but once the really profitable co-ordination jobs are replaced the overall administrative overhead will increase again. And it's nonlinear - co-ordination costs probably rise with the number of connections within a network, so every additional node adds more of these costs when joining a larger network than a smaller.

I actually expect we'll have two broad classes of society which value more or less abstraction. A few enclaves like Singapore surrounded by a lot of Amish country.
The model runs on the GPU or the Neural Engine, CPU arch isn't really a factor.

Sounds exactly how they handle false positives in the Google Safe Browsing list.

I get that they want to avoid costs by automating everything, but if the automation has already failed for something it should not be allowed to modify that again without human review.
> On top of that, you have to use DC-DC power electronics, which are much more expensive than transformers etc. at high power levels.

Is this actually true though? I just bought a reel of 30 high power mosfets from digikey for ~$450. Each of these bad boys can rock ~1kW continuous switched output/input. Magnetics for the HV boost section of a 30KW DC-DC converter circuit are a mild additional cost.

Compare this to how much money you would have to spend for a more traditional copper & iron monstrosity of similar rating (well over $1000).

Weight is also a huge factor when you start talking about megawatts.

There's a bureaucracy to support, so fees for everything they do.
Good leaders know how to make practical, human-centric decisions.

Forgetting the human by hyperrationalizing, creating rules and following them too strictly etc is a good way to become an absolute ass of a person.

There are fields that reward that type of thinking though and i recommend going into game design for example if you want to learn how to create fair rulesets that "remember the human" (or rather, put the player's enjoyment of the game as a priority).
Thanks, got a little confused there how CERN could be a Host State...
> It powers access points, lighting, and infrastructure, and high power variants can do 100W+.

802.3bt Type 4 allows for sending 100W down Cat 6A cables, but only 71W is available at the other end. That's highly inefficient.

The US builds a 700MW reactor every 4 years[1][2], and a 200MW reactor every 2 years[3][4]. The Navy has operated these designs (or very similar ones) for decades without incident, and considering the per-unit cost of the complete ships that feature them, they seem substantially cheaper than most of the civilian construction projects. My last boss had previously worked with some of the Navy's high-level nuclear administration people, and said their program was extremely well-run, partially due to a conservative, risk-adverse, albeit cliquish approach to reactor safety: "Don't ever come to us trying to change anything, we've already paid the blood tax to figure this stuff out, our processes clearly work very well, and we're almost certainly smarter than you and have already considered anything you want to suggest anyway."

I'm not sure why we don't fork the reactor designs with some minor changes for powering urban grid infrastructure....Hmmm, maybe a sneaky rollout would be to establish a bunch of "test reactors" physically on naval bases, but with grid connections to the local cities.....essentially subsidizing the national power grid with US Navy nuclear assets.

> Never mind already back in the 80s and 90s the British population of the Falklands preferred to remain a part of the UK

The last referendum was in 2013, AFAICT, and gave a 99.8% pro-British result, on a 92% turnout. Seems pretty definitive to me.
> To do that you needed to inhabit it according to the laws at the time

Aside from specific agreements between states, there wasn't really international law at the time.

There is no queue.

I mean that: there is no requirement for cases to be processed in any kind of order, if at all, and nor is there a quota (except in the minds of Home Office managers).

> I get an end run around the immigration system to get healthcare

Hardly anyone does this, or at least there's no evidence of this. If you have money which you wish to trade for healthcare, there are usually better ways than bribing a firm to give you a fake job in the UK?

> Plenty are literally dying to do it.

See Afghanistan.

It was, allegedly, important enough to invade and spend billions on, as well as a number of Westerner lives; however, it is also a policy preference that these people die rather than reach the UK, which puts a rather hard upper bound on what they should have expected from us. This is being played out in real time as the UK decides how many of the people who the Taliban will execute as our collaborators it should allow to be rescued.

(asylum and the refugee system is technically separate from immigration in international law, but this is a distinction few people seem to care about. And this is also separate as nobody should realistically expect an Afghan translator for the British Army to find £650 to save their life)

I wonder how many Afghans we could safely relocate to the Falklands?
Vouched, because as I understand the comment, people must not be reading past 'rape' and just gut-flagging with completely the wrong impression.
From what I can tell, that is not used on Android or user devices though. So it's not the same thing as what Apple is doing.
Indeed. Fortunately, umatrix exists and is very helpful – I turned off cookies and scripts for the page, and all was good.
My WhatsApp automatically saves all images to my photo roll. It has to be explicitly turned off. When the default is on, it's enough that the image is received and the victim has CP on their phone. After the initial shock they delete it, but the image has already been sent to Apple, where a reviewer marked it as CP. Since the user already gave them their full address data in order to be able to use the app store, Appla can automatically send a report to the police.
Even if they end up canning the idea, they have been gaslighting their user base in the past week or so. Their CSAM implementation betrays their earlier statements on privacy, so they are dead to me already.

Since a few days, I have finished switching over from a Mac Mini (M1), iPhone and Watch to a desktop (with a proper graphics card, unlike the M1), a phone with LineageOS (and microG, so no/little Google) and an Amazfit GTR 2e watch.

So no need of hash collisions then. One can simply directly send the child porn images to that person via WhatsApp and send her to jail.

That's the beauty of using Firefox + uBlock Origin on both your computer and non-ios mobile - you will completely avoid these kind of irritating annoyances, experience quicker loading and more responsive websites and save a lot of bandwidth. (On ios AdGuard does the same but is limited because of Safari. Google is also working to cripple ad-blocking on Chrome, so Firefox is currently the best browser to comprehensively avoid such ad-infestation and trackers online).
I don't think describing Britain as expansionist is accurate, in fact the remaining overseas territories were often considered a liability for the government rather than an asset. The reason Argentina invaded to begin with is because the military presence in the region had been heavily cut back and they expected Britain to settle the matter diplomatically. Nobody (including the US) believed that Britain would be successful in repelling the invaders with military force. There had even been suggestions before the war that the islands be sold to Argentina over the heads of the islanders, who didn't and still don't want to become Argentinian. You have to remember that was the moribund Britain of the early 1980s rather than the ascendent Britain of the 1880s, there was far more concern over the disasterous economic situation at home than holding onto a relatively unimportant bit of land in the South Atlantic.

Invading was a footgun of international proportions, once Argentina forcefully occupied British territory any hope of a diplomatic solution (which may well have happened) went directly down the toilet because it turned the Falklands from an inconvenience to Britain into a military matter no country could simply shy away from without an enormous loss of prestige. Nobody loses prestige by selling some neglected islands to another country, but having them forcefully taken in a war of aggression is another matter entirely and could have invited no other reponse. It also turned a place that was more or less ignored by Westminster into a place that would be very, very difficult to invade again because of the increased military presence in the region.

Nobody who's remotely literate denies the British Empire did many terrible things in its history, but in this specific case for once it actually wasn't in the wrong. The Falklands never had a native population to oppress or enslave, they simply had a small series of competing European colonists who in my 21st century eyes never seemed that committed to the place to begin with. I realise there's a lot of arguments around whose claim from the 19th century is most legitimate, but the fact of the matter is that the people who actually live there now have zero interest in becoming Argentinian and unlike the imperial powers of yore we actually tend to believe in self-determination these days.
Well yes, but frankly given the small losses due to modern conversion systems being so efficient I think we're worrying about catching that last small%age if energy losses.

As much as I personally hate them, would it not be better to install 120% of solar cells required to match the load upfront. Given the energy is free at generation write off this small inefficiency as being built into the system. It's not like the sun will come after you for capturing more than your fair share.

This feels like a problem for 2100 imo once we've moved to much lower carbon supplies.
When I play the tech lead role, I try to view my job as the business/PO's "counselor in the art of the possible." Two things that help in estimation:

1. Help your development team make explicit the assumptions in their estimate. This is part of bargaining scope instead of time -- when you make explicit that your estimate includes e.g., authentication and responsive design and reusable component development, your business stakeholders will sometimes say "No no no we don't need those things now, we only need X and Y" and suddenly the team has a much more feasible effort in front of them.

2. Don't argue beyond a certain point, occasionally resolve disputes by giving the story to the person with the lowest estimate. Sometimes it's a learning experience for the developer who underestimated. Sometimes it's a learning experience for the rest of team that overestimated. I have taken 1 point stories that the rest of the team swore would be an 8 point story, then used it as an opportunity to pair program with one of my developers to show my approach. (If the business wants an unstyled link to open an email message to your support address, that's not a reflection of your skill as a developer -- you don't need to solve for the full-function feedback popup modal with input validations and error states, it's work you can do as iterative enhancements later, if ever at all.)
It is not overblown. I refuse to be a perpetual suspect in the possession and transfer of child pornography. Having these checks on my phone is just a short hop to checking everything the camera sees.

My grandmother(aged 92) still washes by hand - both the clothes and dishes.

There is a lot of need for coding skills in many other roles. I am an accountant by trade, but have learned Python in my spare time.

Because I can code I have been able to develop an interesting niche. And people look at me like some kind of wizard.

Pure accounting is kind of dull, but I get interesting roles because of my mad skillz.

The moral is that maybe you should look to develop other skills and try other areas out.
The Art of Not Taking Things Personally
And even if you do you can loose territory. Just look at all the European borders since, say, the mid 19th century.
It is much older than that.

If you interpret a random n-bit integer as random fraction >= 0 and < 1, it is obvious that if you multiply it by K you will have a random number >= 0 and < K.

If you take the integer part and discard the fractional part, i.e. you keep just the upper word from multiplication, you get a random integer >= 0 and <= (K-1).

This was well known since the oldest times when pseudo-random numbers began to be used, i.e. immediately after WW2.
At that time, before the introduction of the floating-point numbers, interpreting the binary numbers as fractions instead of integers was much more frequent.

Using modulo became popular only in higher level languages, where it was more complex to write a double word multiplication, but it is clearly an inferior solution compared to using a multiplication for the same job.

Moreover, the multiplicative method ensures that all the integer values possible for the result have the same probabilities, while with the modulo K method it is possible that the last value (K-1) has a lower probability (corresponding to fewer possible values of the input number), which is not what is normally desired.

For ancient congruential PRNGs, the modulo method was even worse, because those PRNGs had the lower bits less random than the upper bits.

I think it's a perfectly reasonable conclusion. Supposing a future with 0 to low fossil energy usage, we'll all need to adjust.

If you want governments to do whatever needs to be done to limit climate change, you also need to be willing to "pay the price" in the form of reduced material comfort.

Besides, there are quite a few people (a big chunk of the world population actually) living today without dish washers, without microwaves and without coffee machines.
