That's a false dichotomy. It's not "raise fuel prices 5x to 10x or fail". We should be working on a constellation of initiatives that move things forward but without leaving significant chunks of people behind.

If the bottom 25% of the economic ladder get stomped on and pushed into poverty (when not already there) how does that help? It will set things back: Because the people getting stomped, going hungry, working 2 jobs and 60hours a week-- they're not going to sit back and suffer in silence as things get worse. The backlash would be enormous and political pressure insurmountable.

We need solutions that account for the people impacted by them or we'll get nowhere. Throwing your hands up and saying Fine, "live is up while we can" because a simple solution doesn't solve a complex problem is defeatist. And stops you-- likely a very smart person-- from contributing to the dialog of how to solve an extraordinarily complex problem and implementing some of those countless big and little things we can do to keep moving forward.

QNX RTOS uses netbsd userspace applications, actually. And a lot of the drivers in QNX are from NetBSD. It’s more properly a “microkernel” which means the drivers run as userspace applications with a defined interface to the kernel for memory maps to underlying hardware.
Addendum: There's also a humongous literature on organizational economics which also addresses implications of the observability of these "slopes" or "intercepts", etc.

I suspect that you wouldn't want it, and yet, there are loads of people willing to sign up for a service like this. I have seen similar services which seem to get users and charge a hefty monthly.

Personally, I have been doing this so long that text feels normal for me. I think the key for me has been to work with people who are able to shoot across a lot of information without the need to say much. For most of the people I work with, I can sort of read their mind. For a small number of others, text becomes a chore. The occasional chores are a reminder that not everyone feels at home working from home. Maybe this sort of service could be useful for them.

Well that depends on the situation. Regardless the sender would be charged if found, but if they were able to get legitimate CSAM on the receiver's phone the receiver could possibly be charged too, or at least investigated. Just the idea of getting investigated in these kinds of attacks, much less being exposed publicly as being under investigation is a horrible thought.

Ask HN: How to pick tech with longevity?
Most of my career has been working with older existing systems. Many have struggled to stay up to date. With desktop applications that's not a huge problem, but with web applications they die. I've seen this with a brilliant system that had a Flex (Adobe flash derivative) front end. It got killed.

I've seen this with front ends written in ExtJS, it's just so old now that maintaining it is a pain. The same thing with old versions of Zend. PHP 5.6 is no longer supported but most operating systems out of the box so we have to find an upgrade path.

Has anyone found a stack that lasts? Or a method of avoiding this sort of thing?

Sounds like you've got it all figured out.
IMO it’d be great if going public meant that you had to publish open, online, real(ish)-time dashboards of your company’s core metrics. Like if it’s a metric in every quarterly report, it goes in the public dashboard, and has to be no more than X stale (1 hour? 1 day? Something like that).

Many public companies already have something like this internally, it’s just really locked down. Open it up and most insider trading goes away.

HFT firms don't care about insider trading. If they get exposed to it anyway, they have to shut down their active trading in that specific security for some time, and exclude it. Its not the only thing many firms do.
I can't tell if you are being sarcastic. In case you are not, isn't the act of sending those pictures completely illegal?
In my experience Rust’s ability to rid itself from autoconf comes not because of any inherent benefits but because Rust code typically does not support systems where autoconf would really be required. For the mostly sane platform differences, the popular ones are probably hardcoded in some dependency crate with “-std” in its name so you don’t have to see it, unless of course it turns out to not support your less common platform or the check is broken, in which case you lob a GitHub issue at them and they deal with it.

People here are proposing intentionally creating image assets which collide with perceptual hashes of known CSAM (ignoring whether that is legal or ethical) and sharing those assets to effectively SWAT unaware targets.
It's common for two unrelated images come up as false positives when comparing hashes across different unrelated perceptual hashing methods.
Yes, it is just familiarity that makes Powershell seem weird and Unix shells are notoriously cryptic, coming from a background where saving keystrokes was important so all those criticisms are definitely valid.

I still miss that GUI though, when I context switch between a Unix box and a Windows box and then I'm suddenly confronted with some Powershell task, it always make me sigh a little, not least because my old noodle has trouble parsing Powershell as readable. Here's a bit of Powershell I use to go through an Outlook mailbox to look for some stuff (just a snippet) and the where-object and new-object things with dashes in the middle instead of underscores just make it harder to understand. Especially when you have where-object and then you have -eq in the same line.

$account = $namespace.Accounts | where-object {$_.DisplayName -eq "smackeyacky@nowhere.com"}
CSV is that way too. There's nothing that says each row has to have the same number of what maps out to columns, or anything that tells me what those columns really represent (there's no schema). You could use the first line of the CSV doc to say what each tuple is named, but that's not a standard or anything. And without a schema, it certainly could be easy to lose the metadata of the info the CSV file is trying to represent. Is this column just a bunch of numbers or a date format? (for example). CSV is OK for importing and exporting data across systems that know what the format is without the help of a schema, but anything else and you run into a pile of edge cases. Even using a CSV file to import into a spreadsheet works usually but context is often lost.

Frankly, I love the format.
I would assume that with the rate the human body replaces blood they'd end up getting removed over time.
Generally speaking, if you significantly beat analyst expectations, stock price goes up, and the reverse if you’re significantly below expectations. If you knew the numbers about to be reported tomorrow were, say, well above analyst expectations, you could buy now and get a reasonably consistent return.

“Usage and revenue up” is already priced in, if that’s the expectation. But “usage and revenue up much more/less than expected” will have a reasonably consistent effect on stock price.
How do you mean that? The IBM PC was not “PC compatible” because it defined what “PC compatible” meant. The 8bit bus it had is what became ISA, ATX was the successor to AT, which came from the IBM “Advanced Technology” PC, in a sense the grandchild of the original IBM PC (with the XT in between).

I feel like there is a meaning to your comment that I’m missing, do you mean that the PC wasn’t compatible to anything, because it was what defined compatibility, and still it was successful (because everyone copied it, hence “compatible”)?
I think you're very confused about how mining blocks works. It only takes microseconds to test a specific hash. Every miner is testing a different random bunch of numbers to see if they get a lucky result where the hash starts with enough 0 bits.

There's near-zero overlap between the numbers tested by different miners. So a latency advantage does not make you win. Everyone is picking lottery numbers in parallel. If three miners have the exact same hash rate, and one of them has a 2 second head start, then the one with the head start is only going to win 33.4% of the time.
> Years ago, I saw a play by Maria Irene Fornes called THE DANUBE. It's a bizarre, baffling, and beautiful piece, and you cannot really approach it like you would (say) a Marvel film expecting a traditional narrative. That's not what it's FOR. It's an experience. You have to let go of the desire to tick off plot points and characters like players in a football program and just experience the art on its own terms.

> Exploring these kinds of challenging works can be incredibly rewarding. I encourage anyone reading this to do so. I long ago decided that if I only ever saw plays/read books/watched movies that I liked, I wasn't branching out enough. Find things that challenge you, and engage them on their own terms. Figure out why (for example) a host of professional movie critics loved Lynch's film when it left you cold and maybe even angry. What do they see that you don't?

I've had that experience. But I've had it in response to many phenomena, artificial and natural, not just critically respected artworks. If you approach other things on the same terms, you can find the same depth and reward - even when there's no there there.

> Creating something that includes, or even hinges on, ambiguity is challenging in the extreme. It's like when jazz musicians break the "rules" of music and melody; you can only break the rules and have it work when you have really mastered the underlying craft.

Citation needed. The effectiveness of GPT etc. suggest that poetic ambiguity may be the cheap trick that many of us have long thought it was; similarly I've seen a few cases where when a critic takes schizophrenic writings seriously and has much the same response as they do to respected artists. Has anyone actually done a double-blind trial comparing "good" and "bad" high-ambiguity works? (e.g. if you make those professional movie critics write their responses independently, without knowledge of the creators, and then compare those responses in an objective way, are they actually more correlated than chance?)

In a world where ambiguity didn't actually take a lot of artistic skill, and whether a high-ambiguity work was perceived as good or bad was more a function of art-community politics (e.g. who the creator is), what would you expect to be different?
The only visual programming language that I've worked with was LabView. That was not fun, I think you could get faster with it but it felt like throwing away all the tools I had to program normally and having use a GUI.

Yes. You don't leave the toilet doors open, not because you don't "have nothing to hide", but because privacy is a right.

Everybody knows what goes on behind that door. And yet, everyone would much prefer to close it. Apple's method is equivalent to the toilet door being removed, so that you cannot do anything nefarious behind that door.

Your phone also (on average) have nothing to hide, but that's also why you need privacy on your devices.
Maybe read this whitepaper:

https://www.netbsd.org/gallery/presentations/justin/2015_Asi...

“ The rump kernel has been used as a way to supply device drivers in other new operating systems, which do not yet have a full set of device drivers. For example, Genode[4] is a framework for building microkernel operating sys- tems using the L4 family of microkernels. Genode uses the rump kernel to provide file system support, so that it does not have to develop its own file systems.”

Here’s a 362 page dissertation on rump kernels which has a netbsd focus:

And that hash function is kept private, so you can’t just iterate to find a match of both hashes.

This is true, but there aren't many countries which Apple would even consider risking its global reputation in order to retain that market. US, China, Europe, maybe a couple of others.

To begin with, there's no prospect of this being done in secret. So we're talking about Apple complying to demands being made in public.

In the case of the EU, it would have to be passed into law in a way that makes equal demands upon all of Apple's competitors. And in that case, everyone must comply with the law irrespective of whether any existing CSAM detection apparatus was in place. (Thus it's a sheer cliff, not a slippery slope.)

If Saudi Arabia or Sudan tried to turn the screws, the business case for Apple is absolutely clear-cut: they would leave. It wouldn't even be up for debate. There would be far too much at risk globally than they'd ever hope to gain/retain in that domestic market from compliance. Not only would they never risk serious damage to their global reputation (something they'll be extremely sensitive to, as the last two weeks have taught them) it would represent a massive opportunity for Apple to earn weeks of free media coverage that aligns with their security narrative.
VisiCalc sucks
Correct, gradient descent attacks like this depend on being able to differentiate your hash function.
Actual title is “Here's how close you were to never happening.” Why remove “here's how”?
These titles are necessary for incorporation (specifically referring to CEO) but not necessarily for running the business. I believe incorporation (depending on the type of Corp) requires a Founder, Chairman, and CEO.

The only reason I replied was that you said:

> The algorithm for creating well-formed CSV from data is straightforward and almost trivial: if the datum has no comma in it, leave it alone. It's good to go.

> Not complicated and covers every edge case

Maybe more context was implied, but I didn't want anyone to think it's that simple. I have received and had to process CSV data with unexpected new lines. It gets nearly everyone the first time when they try to process a CSV file line by line.
> Recorded Future’s Insikt Group has discovered a large-scale, likely state-sponsored influence operation against the British Broadcasting Company (BBC) and the United Kingdom (UK). The campaign involves hundreds of websites and social media accounts and thousands of comments across state-affiliated news sources, fake news websites, and Chinese and Western social media platforms.

> There have been over 11,000 references of the Mandarin-language term for “gloom filter” across open sources in the past 6 months, with over half of them occurring in the last 30 days. English-language mentions of “BBC underworld filter” have also spiked over the past several weeks, totaling over 56,300 in 6 weeks. [...] We are confident that this uptick results from recent pro-China influencers amplifying the “gloom filter” theory.

> On July 19, 2021, China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Zhao Lijian asserted across social media that BBC edited the color out of a photo of a popular British pro-China social media “influencer” named Jason Lightfoot, who also goes by the moniker “Living In China”. One post stated, “#GloomFilter comes again! It could be accounted as one of BBC’s familiar supernatural skills, to turn a green and prosperous city into a grey desolation”.

> The volume of activity paired with a clearly identifiable narrative, coordination across the Chinese state-sponsored media apparatus, use of both Mandarin and foreign-language content, use of dozens of fringe media outlets, and the campaign’s alignment with the CCP’s objectives create a clear picture of how the CCP is conducting large-scale information operations to counter criticism and censor foreign media

It doesn't matter whose side you're on folks, the age of trustworthy news and journalism may very well be behind us. We need to equip future generations with the ability to think critically and clearly, challenging any trends driven by "likes" and "shares" with a tremendous amount of skepticism.
Where I am in Europe there are quite a few services that act as gateways, but still the sales process is "talk to us" not just sign up and have instance access.

I guess it makes sense in a way, as it would be easy for scammers to use this ("Oh I need to give access to my bank account to view this Facebook post? Oh sure, why not, moar cats plz").

There are also quite a few budgeting apps here that use open banking, so yes I expect those services will migrate to this when it's available in NA. My only complaint is it takes a few days for them to update the data. I have an accounting program (for my business) which uses open banking and also takes a while to update, so maybe it's a "feature" of open banking?
Ah cool, are the internalized orders reported publicly anywhere or are they just sent to the SEC/FINRA?
Apple is scanning files locally before they are uploaded to iCloud in order to avoid storing unencrypted photos within iCloud but still discovering CSAM. All the other storage providers already scan all the images uploaded on their servers. I guess you can decide which is better. Here is Google's report on it:

https://transparencyreport.google.com/child-sexual-abuse-mat...
It is absolutely shady and scary that they store your banking credentials so that they can log in with them. The fact that there isn't a better option doesn't make it any less shady and scary.
Before they make it to human review, photos in decrypted vouchers have to pass the CSAM match against a second classifier that Apple keeps to itself. Presumably, if it doesn’t match the same asset, it won’t be passed along. This is explained towards the end of the threat model document that Apple posted to its website. https://www.apple.com/child-safety/pdf/Security_Threat_Model...
Big tech is a strange animal, a leech on the human brain.

I wish the tech community can be unbiased and not politically motivated. While it rightfully bans conspiracy theories and right-wing extremism, it condones anything else that helps in furthering its ad-machine agenda: misinformation, crypto, terrorism, anti-gov, you name it.

I feel bad for the generation that engendered these tools and grew up in it, unknowingly participating in its brainwashing scheme to profit tech oligarchs.

Big tech is the real enemy, the government should go after them.
It is more believable they are introducing this tech for larger international security reasons still kept under wraps.
Oh, I think I misunderstood you. I thought you meant instead of "sending images that collides with perceptual hashes of known CASM", why not "send actual CSAM in 'Facebook Messenger or Gmail or Dropbox', and since those services also use some other detection algorithm, it will also incriminate the receiver."
By "forward" you mean that we ask people to submit a 2FA code during login? YMMV, but I would characterize that as "supporting users who have 2FA enabled" rather than "getting around 2FA". Like I said, I'm looking forward to a world where we don't have to ask for credentials at all, but in the current world, we either support 2FA or we don't, and if we didn't, many people would probably turn off 2FA altogether. At a number of institutions, we actually add a layer of 2FA protection and require a SMS-based code if the institution doesn't prompt the user with its own 2FA.
