Depends on where you are - a SIM swap attack is surprisingly easy to do in many places.

But more generally, a sophisticated actor doesn't have to be targeting you specifically. Many people assume that "nobody would put in so much effort to steal from me", but they don't have to be. A sophisticated attacker with the capability to intercept SMS would likely be casting a very wide net. Once people start noticing, they'll be locked out very soon, so they'll be aiming to "hack" as many people as possible.

You might just happen to be one of the N random people that happened to log into their bank on the day of the hack and the spreadsheet happened to be sorted by last login time. Hackers don't discriminate, so as long as you fit "SELECT from account WHERE balance > 0", you'll be on the target list.
A major factor why I chose a Tesla over the Mach-e was the charging network. I really hate the interiors of the Tesla, but being stuck without a charge is much worse.

ATF is the one of the few federal agencies that's simultaneously hated by both the right and the left. They bring crime to poor urban areas with their anti-gun trafficking operations and violate people's 2a rights left and right with their mundane administrative operations and enforcement thereof. Nobody who knows what they do likes them.
It's possible that the operator accidently clicks the wrong button.

> Apple is committing a crime by possessing and distributing CSAM.

Apple's liability for content is limited by Section 230. If they find out about specific instances of CSAM on their servers they are required to remove it.

They are not required to hunt for it or otherwise search it out. They are not required to scan for it. Anything currently being done in that regard is voluntary.

> But that is exactly what they're doing. They are agreeing to possess and deliver images of which they know a portion are CSAM.

When you use Apple's cloud services, you agree to multiple legally binding agreements that include provisions about not using their cloud services to store or transmit illegal materials including CSAM.

Someone using Apple's services to do that in contravention of those agreements does not constitute them "agreeing to possess and deliver" that content.

What WOULD constitute them conspiracy and them agreeing to possess and deliver that content would be if they were informed of the specific instance of content being transmitted and delivered and did nothing about it or otherwise enabled its continued storage and distribution.
Okay then, why aren't a million people doing it to the point where the "free" money has been squeezed out of the price?
We had the refreshers as well. We theoretically had access to fairly extensive private data. Not without leaving a pretty extensive paper trail, but the access was there.

I understand that your opinion is that vaccines are different from other medical procedures because you are using an ends justify the means argument that you think is valid there. I disagree fundamentally and I do not believe that the government has any right to coerce people into medical procedures under our constitution. To be clear I am vaccinated and I believe the current covid vaccines benefits outweigh its risks relative to the risks of covid.

There is no evidence that these types of coercion tactics actually increase vaccinations. It's an emerging field of study but there is a growing body of evidence that they actually decrease vaccination acceptance.

2-3% of people are medically contraindicated from getting some or even all vaccines because the risks of the vaccine due to their age, existing illness, genetics and medications are higher than the risk of the diseases prevented.

I think it makes more sense to keep the government out of the exam room in all cases.
Because they made over $3 million probably having done little to no trading prior to that run.

Pretty much anyone could spot insider trading patterns. I’d be willing to bet these guys were making bets only on Netflix in the form of short-dated options most of which typically expire worthless. If someone were to repeatedly aggressively buy low probability short-dated options around an event like earnings and win consistently you would be able to infer that they are trading on insider knowledge.

Of course recognizing the pattern is only half the battle. They also have to figure out how they are accessing the inside info, hence tracing the traders back to Netflix employees and conversations they had regarding paybacks, etc.
It seems like the previous browser antitrust ruling in Europe was 2010, with the browser ballot screen being required until 2014.

Given the scale of the fine Microsoft received after breaking their agreement by breaking the ballot system and not showing it to users (over 500m EUR I believe), it seems strange to me that Microsoft is really so willing to get back into this area of making it harder to switch browser, given the ample past precedent.

Is user data gathered from the web browser under default settings really valuable enough to justify the risk?

The people doing it do not trade themselves. And the SEC does not have a list of all current and former employees of the company (only certain officers have to actually report with the SEC). People who do this are not idiots...most of them do not get caught (selection bias, you only see the people who got caught, there are individuals who have made $100m, $200m doing this...never been caught or charged).

Also, the way they do this is by examining trading patterns. The SEC is 100x better at this than most other countries. Insider trading prosecutions are very rare outside the US (not just because it is hard to catch, it is very hard to win insider trading cases at trial). It requires a fairly sophisticated approach to uncover suspicious trades (every day, billions of trades, millions of securities, you have no idea who works where, you have no idea who their family is, you have no idea who their friends are...not easy).

I am stealing this graphic as it's amazingly well put together thank you for the resource.

The main roadblock I often find when talking about vaccination to people is this group effect "You can get vaccinated if you want but I'll make the choice for my body." without realizing that they're also potentially making the decision for my body as well.

Maybe a good way to reframe this is to shift it off of authoritarianism vs. individualism to authoritarianism vs. authoritarianism. One side may be saying that everyone needs to get vaccinated - but the other side is saying "I reserve the right to get everyone else sick" by not getting vaccinated.
I agree (as a psychologist/neuroscientist) that psychology has problems with reproducibility, but I think you pick the incorrect issues (bias and ideology) nor is it that we are bad or dishonest scientists. Rather, I believe it is the aggregating factors of 1)system complexity, and 2)non-uniform samples (subject's differing in unexpected/unknown ways between samples), and 3) weak theoretical knowledge

Another post here made the point that it is necessary to guide empiricism with strong theoretical frameworks. Those strong theoretical frameworks are missing in psychology/neuroscience, because it is a very very new field tacking something very very complicated. We have weak theories, and thus empirical findings may fail to replicate for differences we do not measure (season? time of day? menstruation? obesity? coffee? as examples of things that might not be measured, or is not practical to include into statistical models due to df) and so on. But this is not to say that there has not been progress. There has been lots of progress, and theories are becoming better, ever so slowly. but we build on converging methods spanning basic neuroscience of individual neurons or local networks to MRI studies of macro phenomenology.

In the end, I think of myself more as a cartographer or explorer, much like those that set sail across the sea knowing little about what will be found, BUT DOCUMENTING IT in their naval logs and reports, so that one day those observations can be put together and build the world map. That is why open neuroscience is critical to our field.
Never seen it, but always wanted to!

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but I do want to point out that there definitely ARE a lot of people who immediately ascribe snobbery to folks who enjoy complex film, or art that requires thought, or wine above two-buck-chuck, or beer other than Miller Lite, or whatever.

It's a pretty silly thing to do (and one that I'm pretty sure you're doing only in jest, let me be clear).
They were. Little tidbit of info: Grandma Duck's car is an electric car. Disney very likely had her driving one of those because it was 'so old and outdated' in the 1930s about the time that we were introduced to Grandma Duck.

Apple does not need to be able to audit the database to discover that it is not a CSAM database. Matches are reviewed by Apple before being reported to the authorities, so they would see that they are getting matches on non-CSAM material.

They wouldn't necessarily be able to tell if it was a false positive matching real CSAM material or a true positive matching illegitimate material in the databases put there by a government trying to misuse it, but they don't need to know whether it is or not. They just need to see that it isn't CSAM and so does not need to be reported.
What's the problem? It's very well established that game mechanics can't be copyrighted and both the games industry and the games press know this. id Software doesn't own the FPS genre and Westwood Studios didn't own the RTS genre and, if they had, it's pretty clear that it would have stifled innovation in those genres.

Check out https://godocs.io for a good alternative. Just replace the pkg.go.dev hostname with godocs.io and you're good to go. All that's missing is the amount of data present in pkg.go.dev's "imported by" list.

If you have libraries downloaded locally, you have even better options that work offline:

Try the "godoc" command, available in /x/tools to open a classic HTML view of a package's documentation in a local web server.

Even better: `go doc` will send documentation straight to stdout so you don't even need to launch a web browser.
> Given all this, what do you think is missing that makes it "too general" for use as the basis of a game engine?

My concern isn’t that wgpu’s level of generality makes it unsuitable for implementing a game engine. It’s of course perfectly suitable for implementing a game engine. The concern is around the pitfalls of not architecting your game engine in terms of your own limited graphics abstraction (which may backend to wgpu).
I think it's irrelevant to what was being said in their conversation. In Marc's context, being fake/shit equated to non-replicable simply. Before that quote, I believe he was talking about the replication crisis briefly.
I'm not personally surprised that you could find users to buy into this kind of product - I'm amazed that none of the US regulators came down on them hard and killed them dead five+ years ago.
50 GB is effectively unlimited though, and for incredibly cheap. I would have to really try to use that much data on my phone. I have a 20 GB plan in Canada for much more than that, and have never exceeded 10 GB of usage. Up until about 3 years ago, I had a 500 MB plan for the same price, and still got on fine.
What darpa did was a lot more that ‘gateways’.

As for government funding not being key. I’m not sure we can say either way. It certainly was key to what we ended up with.

We’d have had some kind of internet in any case, but who knows what it would have looked like and what kind of tollbooths etc would have been set up on it had the model been different.
I’ll take the other side of this and bet that Apple offers the ability to remove themselves from escrowing iCloud keys before they expand CSAM detection to other kinds of content. Nerd points are at stake.
> But in your case, I understand your reasons for not wanting to have an image used at all. I believe if you had filed feedback explaining that, the image would have been removed.

So, you're claiming they didn't say they didn't want a picture? Have you read their correspondence with Google on the matter, or how do you know this?
> I know when folks address a group of people as 'yous' they mean 'you', but as a plural pronoun. When an American chef says bell peppers, they mean capsicums. I'd argue the former is a bigger step than the latter, given that 'you' is a far more common word.

The plural form yous or youse is very common across many dialects of English – it is found in Ireland, Scotland, England (in particular in Geordie and Scouse), Australia, New Zealand, and some regional dialects of American English (especially Philadelphia)

> 'Australian English' is at best a dialect of British English, though I don't think the differences even amount to that.

Linguists don't agree. Australian and British English are independent dialects. Even the UK contains multiple dialects of English – "British English" generally means just the way Oxbridge graduates, BBC staff, Whitehall mandarins, etc, speak and write. In fact, the UK arguably has more internal diversity in English than most other English-speaking countries – Geordie is a dialect of English, yet at times is barely intelligible to other native English speakers. Languages are usually the most diverse in their country of origin, since the processes of emigration/colonisation/etc tend to greatly reduce that original diversity.

And stats concerning women in the workforce definitely paint a different picture.

So employers need to pay more and offer remote work or pay relocation expenses.

There's also a dearth of $1000 new automobiles on the market but no one's suggesting forcing automakers to offer them. Why do we expect labour to bend to the will of companies? They need to offer competitive compensation.
huh. insider trading is about information asymmetry. material nonpublic information harms those who take the other side of tipped trades and therefore harms everyone in the market.

intellectual property is about actual things and how they're made, and unlike mnpi it has intrinsic value outside of speculating on securities prices.

tradable material nonpublic information isn't useful as most intellectual property is, but intellectual property, or knowledge of its development, can be tradable material nonpublic information.

netflix isn't harmed when their employees leak business performance numbers and their associates trade on them, the people who took the other side of those trades are the ones who are harmed. if it happens a lot, the whole market is harmed, if it happens a lot in one company, then that one company is harmed.

it ain't rocket science.
Can you list the variety of ways?
> If, on the other hand, you just dumped all those psychology researchers out of the academic environment and sent them to marketing and advertising companies... are we better off?

Honestly? Very possibly.

The reason is that regardless of your opinion of marketing/advertising (mine is not overly positive while acknowledging that informing consumers of new products etc is a worthwhile endeavour broadly speaking) at least if the psychology researchers were trying to implement whatever their pet theory is in a company the market will quite quickly let them know whether or not it is horseshit. Markets have faults of course but at least if the psychological theories were implemented at companies you could reasonably easily tell if they were effective or not simply based on do they increase sales etc. If they turn out to be nonsense, this acts as a signal to the individual as well as others that this avenue of study is not worth further exploration.

Whereas Academia can often act as an artificial greenhouse environment for theories/hypotheses that won't survive contact with the real world but seem quite successful in the artificial environment.
This isn’t true.

Yeah, that's a dumb idea.

Sometimes -- frequently, even -- you have to go to some least-common-denominator format to move data around. CSV is often a candidate.

When I was younger I thought we'd eventually abandon "primitive" formats like this, but in my middle years I realize their extreme utility. CSV absolutely has a place, and absolutely does a job that no other format does as quickly or as easily.
You forgot the most important point of the last 24 hours:

"Apple has created a system for detecting CSAM on local devices which has already proven vulnerable to cheap perceptual hash collision attacks. It's now highly inconceivable Apple will be able to deploy this technology as-is without having their users exploited."

In other words it's not just about privacy or thoughtcrimes anymore but should be viewed as actually dangerous to use their devices. I feel a bit dramatic even typing that out but I.. think it's true?
How exactly do you imagine a bug in this will land you in jail?
Okay perhaps this joke was to subtle for the crowd here.
Great timing. I'm looking for solutions to run Siemens Simatic PDM without being a local admin. Installing it with temporary admin rights seems to silently fail.

I'm also trying to use libpcap and USBPcap without local admin. They request UAC every time I open Wireshark to start a new capture session. (Needed for debugging raw Ethernet and serial stacks)

If you have any tips for either of these I am all ears!
> Scientific results can be strengthened by replication, but that's just one thing, and if that's all you do, then you end up with a science that does nothing but generate independent factoids.

Scientific results are what makes science universal; since they can be reproduced everywhere by anyone.
The math isn't exactly hard on this. A person who can reliably make double digit returns monthly or quarterly could literally start with $100 and become rich.
And that sucks, I do understand, I just don't think Atlassian will feel the loss, and stands to gain far more by jacking the price for the price insensitive customers who remain, as above.
> Surely the majority of child abuse happens independently of the online sharing of CSAM.

Does it? I see no reason to assume that.

> And is that really worth the suspension of important civil rights?

No civil rights are being suspended. It’s not about that at all.
But most commercial artwork is exactly that. Not the all time great stuff, but that’s a small percentage of the market. If you need “illustration of person typing on keyboard for my SaaS website” there’s no reason that software couldn’t create that.

As another data point, I implemented a B+ tree with rebalancing deletion functionality back in CS3090 at UVU circa 2008 from Dr. Curtis Wellborn.

It was an undergraduate course, but the professor emphasized that everywhere else it would be a graduate-level of course.

My B+ tree implementation served as the foundation for my own (shitty) DBMS ;D

As a funny sidenote, the professor claimed that even Stanford DB courses had a buggy / broken algorithm for balanced deletes. While preparing the course, he'd spent a chunk of the summer doing researching it, and had developed his alogrithm in Prolog. He shared the concepts and our implementations worked fine. However, it was ultimately mostly an academic exercise, as balanced deletions come with significant tradeoffs which make it not as useful as I initially thought.

Even full-fledged database systems don't typically implement B+ tree indexes with deletion+rebalancing support (the usual technique is marking nodes deleted and cleaning them up when the index is rebuilt).
A little jealous that you don't have to touch AppleScript to achieve this effect. Didn't know about xprop in Linux, so thanks for teaching me something today!
That sucks omni-directionally.

That looks like a nasty place to put down a quick patch and even worse for the real repair job. Most of the "quick fix" efforts will make the full repair harder, too.

"big steel plate" is a bit more realistic than spray foam, but think about how that has to be secured. Think about directing traffic around the site while you do it.

Just being out on the highway waving a flag is a sphincter workout. Doing the work while trying to ignore traffic is worse.
