It doesn't assume away the problem. It is the problem. The issue isn't the lifestyle. The issue is how the resources are gathered and how the power is produced. Those are the issues - the lifestyle isn't the issue.

You have been sucked into believing by corporations that you are the issue but it's the corporations who are the issue. They want you to take personal responsibility for their issues. Everything is pushed onto the end user and the individual as responsibility rather than a corporation to do things in a manner that is best for us all. You know why? Cause that's good for the corporations! They can do horrible things and not have to deal with any of the externalities that they're creating and rake in the profit! These strategies have been mainstream for well over 50 years now.

Keep believing that personal responsibility is really the key to solving climate change but it will continue to do nothing and mean nothing. The responsibility is within your governmental body to take over how corporations are producing their products, harvesting resources, generating power, and the externalities that their products create.
For those outside of Canada: The Canadian banking industry is highly centralized. This looks like a way to keep more nimble upstarts from actually getting started.

(Not directly related, but Revolut recently retreated from the Canadian market, for example.)
I think this is overly cynical. It's complex and wants to be transparent, but to be honest it's hard.
Apple keeps the scan results encrypted with a key they don't have until the device informs them that the threshold of 30 images that match known kiddie porn has been reached.

After that, they get the decryption key and trigger a human review to make sure there haven't been 30 false positives at once.

That is better, and more private, in a very meaningful way.

False positive scan data sitting on the server is open to malicious misuse by anyone who can get a warrant.

In my experience, if someone fails at using mainstream libraries, they will also likely fail in creating their own, at least if it is to later be used and maintained by anyone else successfully.

How so? Giving your banking credentials to a third-party for it to login and screen-scrape is not secure. Mandating that banks provide an API instead for third-party apps to use won't necessarily 'regulate new entrants out of business'.

>3% of the population was killed.

8% of Germany died during WW2, and they suffered under enormous foreign debt afterwards. Two million Vietnamese died during the Vietnam war. 4% of Japan died during WW2, and they also happened to have nuclear weapons used against them. The Korean war was enormously destructive, and after the cease fire, most of South Korea's industrial base ended up on the wrong side of the border. South Korea operated under a military dictatorship for decades. Vietnam is still a single-party Communist state, with attendant corruption and looting.

All four countries are dramatically richer today than Haiti. Disasters and foreign debt don't explain the difference.
Bloated how? Disk size? API area? The default non-mobile buttons layout? The number of smaller packages that are designed this way because being monolithic made people call it bloated, triggering a major reorganization to what you see now?

As a Canadian, I'm strongly in favour of a heavily regulated banking sector[1][2]. The report[3] mostly just describes that banks need to figure out some kinda API that allows me to authorize apps to access everything I could access from the front end. Seems reasonable? The report is good, and the orignal recommendation report from 2019 is also quite good.[4]

A power of two hash table doubling in size just has to adjust a clipping mask. E.g. when the size is 16 we have mask == 0xF. When the size goes to 32, we have mask == 0x1F. Reducing the hash value to the table size is just hash & mask.

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

Table sizes which are prime numbers are theoretically important because they allow techniques like quadratic probing to guarantee to visit every possible table offset, thanks to Euler's theorem. This one:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler%27s_theorem

(Only if n is prime is the phi(n) totient function equal to n - 1, meaning that all values of the congruence are traversed by the successive powers of a.)

This will go out the window if you start doubling the table, so that n is no longer prime; you instead need a predetermined sequence of primes to serve as table sizes.

Quadratic probing is silly because it's been found that linear probing, in spite of its issues, wins in terms of caching performance. The only reason to go to open addressing over chained hashing would be for better caching, due to not chasing chain pointers, and then you might as well reap the full improvement from better caching by using linear probing.

Sure, you own the data, but you don’t have any control on what’s happening to it. Just like iPhone users, we own the physical device but we only control certain aspects of what it’s doing, and the boundaries are not set by us, but by Apple.

While the precedent this sets is indeed concerning, the specific hypotheticals this article give are nonsensical.

> an adversary could trick Apple’s algorithm into erroneously matching an existing image

In which case the malicious, adversary-controlled images are sent to Apple. After which—the implication is—they can be re-obtained by... the adversary that created them. So what?

An adversary could conceivably lower the reporting threshold by getting the victim to save a bunch of false-positive images. Again, so what? Surely if the adversary has reason to believe there are some number of CSAM images on a user's phone, there are more direct ways of going after them.

> These kinds of false positives could happen if the matching database has been tampered with or expanded to include images that do not depict child abuse

An adversary would either have to:

A) carry out a supply-chain attack on Apple,
B) ship different iOS images in different countries, or
C) insert entries into the database on a specific users phone.

Options A and C are irrelevant: if the phone is compromised, the CSAM database being modified is the least of your concerns. And option B is independently verifiable (granted, Apple does not do enough to make third-party auditing of iOS easy, but it is possible).
This may be driven by TD's suit against Plaid

From this source https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=8f56092c-ab40...

"Users have complained that after connecting their bank accounts, Plaid stores their credentials and uses them to collect 5 years’ of transactional data and continues to track users’ data in future. Users further claim that the data-gathering scheme is not incidental to Plaid’s business model and is, in fact, its “very purpose.”
There are things and people he is for -- he isn't dismissive of everyone and everything. For example, he is a fan of traditional rail and subway systems and thinks we should build more of them. What he is dismissive of (and I think with reason) are things like the hyperloop, which he suspects not only are unworkable, but are promoted precisely to avoid investing in proven infrastructure like trains and subways and instead waiting for this miracle technology that will be ready "any day now".

As someone who's used Avro [0], it's a pain because Avro records must be ordered, but JSON by definition is unordered. Avro's "JSON" format is more of a JSON-like format. At one point, when I was writing a script that would ingest an Avro record and then output a new one, I had to fiddle with things to make Python use an OrderedDict [1] so the new record would be output in the right order.

Exactly this. Especially in the 21st century world of big data, ML algorithms and all that jazz.

The closer you are to the action, the higher the chances of getting caught.

If you work for a finance firm, its pretty much guaranteed you'll be caught. Firms are hot on it and they take all sorts of layered measures to prevent it and stamp it out. If you work for a finance firm, in most cases its actually harder to obtain the insider information in the first place than it is to act on it as a PA trade. One of the most well funded and well-staffed departments in any finance firm is the compliance department and they have the power to kill your career instantly (you'll get escorted from the office the moment they suspect anything, forced to stay at home on gardening leave whilst they investigate and then once that's over - and assuming it doesn't go legal - you'll find nobody in finance will employ someone who was sacked for compliance reasons).

If you work for a listed company, then like these guys eventually found out, you'll be caught. A bit of data mining at the SEC will soon weed out transactions made by people who likely knew what was going on before the public did.

All this hard work on compliance makes the stockmarket one of the most even playing fields there is for investors, because the work of the SEC and other regulators around the world is there to ensure John Doe has the same chances as Warren Buffet to make money on the stockmarket. (Yes, the world of HFT is a bit different with their technological edge, but that's another story).

I've come across a broken laptop before that had a complex power control computer like what you've described.

I ended up repairing it by hard-resetting the NVRAM and forcing the power control computer back to its initial "reset" state.

This was a common enough problem that the manufacturer had a step-by-step guide showing how to fix it on their website.

The moral of the story is that adding complexity, even when that complexity is designed to increase robustness, usually just means that there are more systems that can fail.

important to keep in mind: if you work for a publicly traded company and share mnpi without even realizing it and someone trades on it (or perhaps something else) without even telling you, you could still face criminal liability.
For c) you still need to imagine a scenario where Apple is deliberately complicit, because of the human review step. If non-CSAM hashes are inserted into the database, the human reviewers need to know what non-CSAM they're looking for -- otherwise they'll see the e.g. picture of a leaked document, observe that it's not child porn, and flag it as a false positive.
People downvote things that make them angry. The things that make people most angry are those things that strike closest to home. An incorrect or unacceptable comment will be downvoted and commented on, even reported. A perfectly valid and true statement, one that is so true that it scares people, will be silently downvoted. It is a form of denial, an attempt to remove a painful truth.
I'd say the primary differences are that the CSAM scan is a perceptual hash rather than a regular file hash, and that the technical infrastructure of the CSAM system is designed from the ground up to be used against (rather than for) the user and report them individually to authorities for violation.

As we all fool ourselves into thinking we have any capability whatsoever in predicting that ceiling from a few hours of interview.
> ON YOUR DEVICE (where it's encrypted in a way that Apple can't read until the 30 image threshold is crossed)

First of all, you have to be able to read it to do the comparison that can increment the counter to 30. So regardless of whether it is or is not encrypted there, they're accessing the unencrypted plaintext to calculate the hash.

And yes, on my device is definitively more private than on someone else's server--just like in my bedside drawer is more private than in an office I rent in a co-working space.

It's about time. When I learned that applications like YNAB (You Need A Budget) use services like Plaid to connect to my bank account, and that these services literally take my username and password and impersonate me to get my banking data, I was a little sketched out. I use YNAB every day, and having it connected to my bank account is incredibly useful, but if something goes wrong and Plaid loses my money somehow, is there any recourse?

Hopefully individuals will be able to use the Open Banking APIs to access their own data directly, but it looks like accreditation will be required, so probably not.

NFL player Mychal Kendricks traded on insider information provided by a friend working at Goldman Sachs to make just over a million dollars. Kendricks got off fairly light and even kept his job but it’s nuts that two people in two highly-coveted and well-compensated positions would risk so much for such a (relatively) small amount. Money makes people do stupid stuff, I guess.
I agree with almost all that you say, bit I disagree with the implication that progress in commercial enterprises isn't also a form of scientific progress. I totally agree that the ultimate measure of scientific progress is how much of that is accessible to wider society. That doesn't have to be in a published journal, it's anything that allows us to know about the world and leverage that knowledge for the better.
2FA is so seriously lacking here it's not funny.

TD Bank has 2FA which has been SMS-based for a very long time, and they just introduced a 2FA app. FYI.

But yes on Tangerine (and other banks) being so, so behind. Sending a wire online here is pretty much impossible..!
Wow, no, don't do this. This is how you start to hate your job and resent your coworkers. Leads to the dark side, this does.

I agree that saying "that's stupid" is stupid. But asking "why do we do it this way" or "have we looked at npm recently" or "why does this return a 403" could actually start a discussion and be constructive on both sides.

I wouldn't hire someone who swallowed their opinions until they were sure they couldn't be wrong. I'd much rather hire someone who is willing to ask questions and suggest alternatives. I don't care if three people that same day have done the same thing (and that alone is likely a signal that I've made a weird call somewhere).
Ah yes, OpenGL's error reporting is notoriously bad. If you forget to call disable on a vertex attribute you might just get a random error 1282 (invalid operation) somewhere down the line in a totally irrelevant part of the code, lol.
> In reality, this new "feature" will be a requirement of using iCloud Photos. The feature itself cannot be turned off. If your answer is to stop using iCloud Photos, that is no help for the millions of people who currently use iCloud Photos.

iCloud Photos can be used on Windows, for example. This scanning only applies to iOS devices. You could use iCloud Photos and not be subject to the scanning.

> I've trusted Apple for a long time because I felt like they were one of the only companies that cared about consumer privacy. After these actions I am less convinced of that. I'm not sure why that stance is so surprising.

Nothing about what they're doing is contradictory with privacy beyond what they're already doing. The only reason they're even implementing it this way is because they do care about privacy. They could just not encrypt and scan on the server like Google, Microsoft, Dropbox, Box.com and more.

> I think FP wins out even if you have to fill ecosystem gaps.

What proof of this is there though? People have made the same claims about lots of things: FP, OOP, statically typed languages, dynamically typed languages, LISP variants, etc. The fact is, any of these solutions can work, and you can also write terrible code with any of them.
TV has shifted this way, where its now common to have long running series where different writers, directors, etc. across every episode. Everything is logical in its immediate context but can seem illogical in the broader context of the entire series/show.
