> The end result is that some peon at Apple has to look at the images and mark them as not CSAM.

As others said, if the non-csam looks sexual at all, they'll probably get flagged for post-apple review.

Beyond that, it doesn't seem to be in apple's interest to be conservative in flagging. An employee reviewer's best interest is to minimize false negatives not false positives.

As many mentioned, even an investigation can have horrible affects on some (innocent) person's life. I would not be shocked to learn that some crafty individual working at "meme factories" creating intentional collisions with distributed images just for "fun" - and politically motivated attacks seem plausible (eg. make liberal political memes flag CSAM).

Then there are targeted motives for an attack. Have a journalist you want to attack or find a reason to warrant? Find them on dating app and send them nudes with CSAM collisions. Or any number of other targetted attacks against them.
There are a couple practical reasons why they wouldn't want to: high risk of fraud or chargebacks and difficulty keeping on top of content that veers into illegality spring to mind immediately.
BBC foreign policy reporting is every bit as influenced in establishment propaganda as RT or Xinhua. It's a running joke among diasphora from global south that BBC framing on issues in their countries, align with with UK's foreign policy and consistently cross into territory of manufactured fake news.

> dozens of such images, it would be trivial to spot.
...
> 'painting Chinese tree grey' is definitely not it.

If you actually follow the subject matter, color grading trees is just one bite-size talking point about the BBC's reporting on XJ. It's being highlighted for counter-propaganda because it makes for easy visual comparison. Many of BBC's segments have been broken down by domestic PRC audiences and amount of consistent manipulation and misrepresentation can only be interpreted as malicious propaganda. It is indeed trivial to spot. China isn't the first party to call out BBC for what it is - state media that operates no different than any other. Many countries have critically assessed BBC agenda setting before, it's naive to dismiss it as errors / individual wrong doing. Again this is with specific reference to their foreign reporting.
How to Reduce Cycle Time in Software Delivery: 4 Tactics
From what I understand OnlyFans has essentially no other product except for this type of content though. So I would have assumed negotiating with one of these processors for a somewhat more reasonable contract despite higher fees would still be more lucrative than giving up what seems to be their core business and revenue stream.
But that's deployed in a very different way which makes the concerns being discussed much less likely to happen.

Specificly the person doing the scanning already has access to photos and can double check the results without having to sieze the device, a rather public process.

OF is a creator platform at heart and not necessarily tied to sexually explicit content except by reputation. There is a likely a huge non-porn market for helping creators of all types monetize their content. The question will be if they can actually get people to completely change their mind about what the platform is for.
pornhub is having this issue exactly. They got PNG'd by all the payment processors. They only have crypto payment options now. My bet is pornhub is doing a lot worse now than they were before.

An employee steals £20 from the company and the police will come and arrest that person, and they have a good chance to bring a prosecution if they have committed a similar crime before.

An employer with-holds/steals/defrauds an employee for £500 or more, and not only will the police not care, they won't even note it as a crime. Best bet is a civil court, but that takes time and can cost money.

So most people just move on and the employer does it again and again.
Please don't pick the most provocative thing in an article and then rush into the HN comments to get angry about it. That leads to generic tangents, which are predictable, tedious, and usually turn nasty. It's all so boring. We may need to add this to the site guidelines, although it's arguably covered by Eschew flamebait. Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents.

One way of looking at this is to take the following guideline to apply at the article level as well: "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize." (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html)

The idea on HN is to have curious conversation. For that, a better practice would be to bring in the most interesting bit from an article, or the bit that creates more interesting responses in you. If an article creates no such responses in you, then the way to use HN in the intended spirit is to look at at different article instead.

Awareness is a key piece, yes - however, they product is designed for women in a few key ways: 1) women are putting 70% of spend on debit cards which don't build credit, this is a debit card that gives them the same control, but builds credit.; 2) women are more likely to make avoidable credit mistakes - this is a risk free, interest free product;3) credit scoring - we don't report credit utilization which disproportionately impacts women's credit histories.
Is your browsing experience better now? Or you think it makes world a better place?

I like certain ads. For example, I often click of property ads just to learn what they are building in the city I live, what is the price range etc. Because one day I'm going to buy.

Of course I'd prefer no ads, but better this than random junk IMO.
The roosters here start at between 3 and 4am and have episodes of crowing through till 6-7pm, I detest these creatures.

Best I can tell it's a method of communicating/monitoring out of line of sight or in foliage since they seem to wait for the response before going again, get 2 in reasonable proximity and the cacophony is enough to make zoom calls untenable.

I'm only slightly joking when I say I'm considering starting eating chicken again to cause maximum suffering to their species.

Google docs on Firefox unusable for everyone, or just me?
In the last few days, Google Docs has become downright hostile to Firefox. Extremely slow framerate, I'm typing words faster than they appear -- UX problems I thought I left behind in the early 0's.

Talking to my friends, it seems like they're having the same problem. But I can't see much discussion about it. Is it happening for everyone -- or just us?
Right, because the language has the "million dollar mistake" of nullable references by default, which you cannot change without breaking code. And the original comment was bemoaning that Go choose to to have nullable references by default too.
Out of Bell Labs came C. Out of Facebook came React. I'm not so certain about that.
If the party pushing is Visa or Mastercard (of which 'other' processors like Paypal, Venmo, Cashapp are beholden to as well) that would only really leave cryptocurrency, which is a large barrier to taking payments and would likely mean >90% revenue loss anyways.

Reminder that payment processor pressure is what has caused a lot of (legal) art to be pushed off of Patreon[0].

I believe you can put a stop payment at the bank. At my bank they charge $30. When the creditor calls the bank, they will
read to the creditor the reason you are not paying.

It seems a lot of people in this post are opposed to payment processors pressuring OnlyFans to do this.

When Google, Apple, Amazon, et al. simultaneously took actions that resulted in the shutdown of Gab it seemed a lot of people supported it.

Now they could very well be completely disjoint groups, but I’d be interested if anyone who opposes the payment processors pressuring OnlyFans but supported the actions taken against Gab could explain how they reconcile the two positions. In both cases we have companies with dominant positions in the market denying or threatening to deny crucial services to another company.
Well I'm assuming that however the "disgruntled employee" is found is also available to the mole. So a company could presumably use this mechanism to both block this ransomware and find their criminally disgruntled employees at the same time.
I think Joe Rogan is quite unhinged these days.. his shtick is to change his opinions and so on to appease to every guest he has on, in order to get them to talk and so on. But this becomes a problem when he starts to ponder to actual conspiracy theorists or people with extreme opinions without supplying disclaimers.

The thing is, I know that Joe Rogan is actually politically aligned more to the left. But his cult like fanbase can't deduce his actual stance because when he has weird guests on he cannot supply disclaimers warning about their insane ideas because otherwise he would lose those connections.

I guess he's doing what's most profitable but still... quite bothersome.

To give an example, when you have someone like Alex Jones on and you make it seem like their your best friend and also don't really call out and question them about their insane ideas... then your loyal fan base will actually believe that that's your friend and will start giving that person attention and consideration too, and now you've created a bunch of conspiracy theorists.
Yes there is a huge market for non-porn and it's all on Patreon.
>That's when you know you should change phones

You'd have to switch to a dumb phone. Assuming you can find one that works on contemporary networks.
For this use case, Patreon & OpenCollective (yes, OpenCollective) is far more established and offers many more features than OF. What's the point in using OF then?
This is a moonshot if I ever saw one. Exciting stuff.

Does your system also have epithelial lining, with all of the components of innate immunity which integrate with the adaptive immune system?

That’s an excellent point.

Having an electronic alternative to cash would be amazing, but so far there’s nothing close to it with respect to privacy and freedom.

To be fair, the original comment just made a valid observation in a casual way, he didn't criticize the approach of the OP, nor was he impolite.

We connect to your existing bank account and make the payments automatically to build credit. Traditional debit cards do not do this.
I agree that there's a huge non-porn market that's likely largely preferable, but said market is already on Patreon which, I think most people would agree, is overall a better platform to begin with.

I'm just saying that there is another avenue. To be clear, this isn't a "vs" situation. It means that they have multiple avenues.

To also clarify, the avenue of extortion isn't open to every country. But the avenue I presented is as long as that country has an ally. I'm not aware of any country not having an ally, so I presume that this avenue is pretty much open to any country.
Taking a 30% cut doesn’t seem that bad compared to the alternative. Why lose 90% of your revenue and all your profit just to not give a 30 or 40% cut to shitty middle man?

Unless Onlyfans actually has some decent traction outside sexual stuff. I find that hard to believe. If photos are still allowed, that’s something. But still.

Maybe I’m completely misinformed though!
As Scott Galloway has been saying for years, it would be great for stockholders. Facebook is an old-n-busted service for old-n-busted people. (You might think I'm one of those, using such an old-n-busted idiom, but even I'm young enough not to be on Facebook.) IG and Whatsapp both would thrive if they weren't chained to all that dead weight.

Divestiture wouldn't be so good for Facebook execs, but does anyone care about them?
It's the immense hassle involved with paying small amounts of money to many different people. Sites like YouTube (and presumably OnlyFans) fix that problem.

>I have also tried this and I think it will be the eventual future of remote meetings.

There are really two types of meetings (at the extremes).

Some (the minority) are where a small engaged group is actively collaborating. I can imagine more immersive tools are good for this sort of thing.

But a lot of meetings are the sort you multitask in. You want the general update and you're paying enough attention so that you can participate if something relevant to you comes up. For that, I may turn my camera off and certainly don't want deep immersion.
There are aspects of the Oakland workbook that I could agree with ("Contrived word problems are valued over the math
in students' lived experiences," etc.)

But I'm at a complete loss for how this is an example of white supremacy. As a black guy who like math, I think I would hate having this cultural viewpoint forced on me in my otherwise race-agnostic class material. I'm completely turned off by the framing, and therefore have little to no trust in the writers.
Desmos (the graphing calculator tool used by the author) is really great! One thing that’s inconvenient about it is not being able to copy/paste formulas in.

There are many functions to which cryptographic blinding is applied, but they each rely upon multiple parties to compute the function in question. In that way, the input and output are blinded to a single party.
This doesn't make any sense at all. Pick a subscription porn site right now, any one, and go try to sign up. You don't have to follow through, just get to the payment page and don't click submit. They all take Visa and MasterCard.

CCbill itself couldn't exist if Visa and MasterCard didn't let it process payments for porn.
Sorry, but the onus is on you as well.

> Because she did have a Wikipedia page. But it was nominated for deletion and then deleted."

The assumption people are making is that the Wikipedia page was appropriately written. If the page was just one line: "Blah blah is a tenured professor at a university", it changes the perspective completely.[2]

Additionally, as a reader, you should read a bit critically: Did you not think to ask yourself "Why was it deleted?" and then evaluate how well the article is written? Other commenters clearly did. As another commenter pointed out, they didn't interview any admins - all they did was get a statement from the Wikimedia foundation. It took less than an hour for me to find the article that was deleted, and trace through the Wikipedia process to see why it was deleted and what Wikipedia's policies are.[1] This is all absent from the article.

It's a pity, because the actual study probably is good and interesting, but that got buried because of shoddy journalism.

[1] In that the policy would recommend deletion even if this was a man.

[2] And oh boy I've found pages like that of professors I've known. And many of them really didn't do work warranting a Wikipedia entry.

It wouldn't specifically be from domestic intelligence, it would be from a powerful member of Congress with a relationship to Apple (specifically the board/management), acting as a go-between that would try to politically lay out the situation for them.

Hey Apple, we can either turn up the anti-trust heat by a lot, or we can turn it down, which is it going to be? Except it would be couched in intellectually dishonest language meant to preserve a veneer that the US Government isn't a violent, quasi-psychotic bully ready to bash your face in if you don't do what they're asking.

The interactions with intelligence about the new program would begin after they acquiesce to going along.

It's too easy. There's an extraordinary amount of wilful naivety in the US about the nature of the government and its frequent power abuses (what it's willing to do), despite the rather comically massive demonstration of said abuses spanning the entire post WW2 era. Every time it happens the wilfully naive crowd feigns surprise.
This is a dystopian nightmare, what the everloving fffff.
One has to be addressed at compile time and the other is a runtime error. Sure, you can address it wrong, but it's better than any reference anywhere being able to throw and in my experience really does cut down on application crashes.
You know, I've thought about that before and it felt like asking too much, since I don't see anyone else's calendars like that. But I guess that's no reason not to try it. Thanks for the push.
Here's an example: a retail store has several KPI they must hit set by corporate. One is some kind of metrics on work performed, another is not allowing above some level of overtime hours. Officially, working off the clock is a fireable offense, but no controls are in place to catch this, meanwhile the work done metrics are closely monitored. Expected KPI numbers are ratcheted up and managers are placed in intense competition with each other. Managers have been promoted internally and do not have better career options, some significant number of employees badly need their job and routinely agree to work late. This is a self-reinforcing cycle--eventually the only way to meet your targets is to "cheat".

This is an incredibly common practice. Employees may come to believe some version of, "this sucks, but that's just how it is". Meanwhile employers and management have complete deniability and can point to company policy saying this is explicitly not allowed.

It's because of a broken feedback mechanism. Officially, it has no therapeutic uses, which means medical research is not sanctioned. Without medical research you can't discover therapeutic uses. And when someone does do the research, that research is by definition unsanctioned, so it's not officially recognized. Catch-22.

The same reasoning means the original classification of "high abuse potential" is difficult to overturn as well.
The problem is that this is what BofA considers 'historic' data (older than 18 months, I think). Only PDF statements are available. And the text is encoded as well, which means I cannot just copy paste all transactions text and clean it up in sheets or a text editor (Amex has copyable text PDFs)
Why should it require specialization at all besides that laws pushed by religious conservatives to advance puritan ideals demand it? Don't be a doctor if you aren't willing to help your patient exercise their right to choose and don't be a payment processor if you're not willing to process payments in a neutral fashion. It's rediculous that at a time when equity and #metoo is all the rage that no one is talking about inequity in the law in the form of legal sandbags.
Even though the Queen is in many ways only a symbolic head of state, the Commonwealth countries in some important ways are not fully independent today.

Patreon went one step further - if you post content against Patreon's rules anywhere else, even if you don't link to it, if Patreon finds out, they'll ask you to stop doing it, and threaten to suspend your account if you keep doing it.

That sounds outrageous. Is there a link to more info about this policy?
