> With regards to CSAM, I think the same applies. After all the CSAM issue only exists because the US government has decided that invasive monitoring is the only way to counter CSAM.

No it hasn't. There is no legislation that the government passed or enforces that says Apple must scan people's private data on their devices for CSAM. Apple decided to do that all on their own.

So, you are re-implementing Altavista, Lycos and other old search engines.

They used the naive approach: you searched for "steak", and they would bring the pages which included the word "steak".

The problem is that people could fool these engines by adding a long sequence like "steak, steak, steak, steak, steak, steak" to their site -- to pretend that they were the most authoritative page about steaks.

Google's big innovation was to count the referrers -- how many pages used the word "steak" to link to that particular page.

The rest is history.

Commodore 64 was great for graphics. Atari 1040ST was great for music.

All the best music software was on Atari I think due to the excellent timing and MIDI support: Cubase, Emagic Notator/Logic (now only by Apple)

> I don’t think they see themselves as scammers, I think they actually think quite highly of themselves [...] “Perception is reality”

Wilfully deceitful people are rare, the rest of us are exceptionally good at justifying our actions to ourselves - Undiluted honest self judgement can be self destructive, but eating gobfuls of bluepills is also extremely dangerous to society - I believe there is a middle-ground, awareness of this "cognitive bias" is the first step.
Terms of use are totally different - they allow you to sue a person if they use it againt the terms, and your ability to sue based on them is going to be very limited. Putting in the TOE of a car: " you are not allowed to drive kids in it" will not be enforceable.

In this case the company retains direct control over your property, and changed what it does after you bought it and paid for it.
iPhone 13 Batteries Positively Excel at Video Streaming Compared to iPhone 12
>Microsoft needs someone with a vision for Windows at the helm, someone they trust enough to go hands off and let them materialize that vision.

Do they, though? No one's buying Windows because they think it's swell. They're buying it because it's the default choice that comes with a computer, and because it's the default platform for commercial software. To most consumers, Windows is just what "computers" run, along with a vague notion that "Macs" might be a bit different.

As long as Microsoft continues to enjoy its monopoly position in the desktop OS space, they couldn't give a crap if Windows is "something" or not. All they have to do is not screw it up by breaking compatibility too badly, and fart out some sort of named release every few years so people don't think Windows is "old" (the nuances of rolling release being beyond the ken of the average consumer).
If you are going to do PoW the least harmful way is inherently CPU algorithms like Monero’s RandomX. At least the left over parts have an aftermarket use as CPUs, and at least you are incentivizing production of something useful. It can even run as a lowest priority process with other compute in some cases.

Note that Chia’s form of proof of space does not count since it actually consumes SSDs. CPUs are not (meaningfully) consumed by running RandomX.

(CPUs at dense process nodes do degrade slowly but their life spans are usually far longer than their useful life anywhere in the market.)

I don't think liberal democracies care about these freedoms, other than as a rhetorical stick to hit countries that "illiberal" with. E.g. imprisonment of Julian Assange, removal of Trump from twitter, Atlantic Council as official part of FB content moderation team (w/ the probably-not-coincidental) subsequent removal of pro-Venezuela and far left groups.

(Plus also IMO being banned from FB and Twitter are materially much more harmful to a political movement than being banned from an app store. EDIT: Maybe not, since per other comment it was being used to organize election results.)

There were long delays in delivery if you ordered a Sinclair QL, to the point that people speculated that 'QL' stood for a long 'Q' and an 'L' of a wait!
In the US it was made into a very big deal,

A coup is not as simple as getting a bunch of armed people into a building, you need widespread support from powerful agents to have any chance at all and I frankly find it funny that anyone in the US loses his head over this since the US has promoted coups through the world as if it was a sport, you would expect for people to at least understand how it works.

It provided an excellent opportunity to display Trump supporters as awful and it was used as such, but to call it an act of terrorism is absurd.

A non political solution would be the transition away from capitalism to a different kind of relation between labor and society.

It should be clear at this point that capitalism can tolerate a pretty broad spectrum of political arrangements, from 'socialist' countries to dictatorships, and especially everything in between.

You can change your frontend to be all kinds of ways, and that will create vastly different user experiences. But at the end of the day we are still tied to the backend, the infrastructure, the "business logic".

>without the ability to set individual pixels in any way

You could and I did. ALas it involved rewritting the screen driver and drawing a diagnol across the screen would take over a minute and all the CPU, now if you turned the display off (ala fast mode polling) then you could improve upon that.

One stand-out thing that puts perspective upon the ZX81 was as you moot - the price for what you did get at the time, a time in which you could pay more for a pack of 8" floppy discs or a keyboard.

It's ironic how you point out the short-cuts - something Amstrad had more a reputation for. With that I'd tend to agree that the case design of the ZX81 was a work of art in design.

In all seriousness, one issue I see in the comments here is that we're still not truly in the mindset of "infrastructure as code" mode.

If the existing infrastructure is so fragile and precious that DROP DATABASE is a non-starter as opposed to Chaos Engineering 101, then SQL paradigms are not the problem.
That's why she worked so hard on getting all German nuclear plants phased out and ended up having the tax payer pay huge fines for that decision to power companies right?

Generally with this sort of thing it’s up to the bank to file reports to comply with the regulation. I don’t know the specifics for how the current $10k+ transaction reports work, but usually I think the government doesn’t bother trying to integrate with the myriad software systems out there, instead they just have an XML API of some sort that you can send machine readable versions of paper forms to.
Thanks! This picture is so much better - really shows the scale and the detail.

My intuitions and my knowledge of statistics hints that there's really no reason much, much older somewhat advanced "societies" couldn't have existed but have just not been excavated or have vanished because of porous materials.

rsnapshot alpha

rsnapshot [1] uses hard links when it can to create a delta of changed files. Reverting can be done with rsync or cherry picking files. git blame would have to be done via something like auditd and syslog and nowhere near as easy as using git. I use rsnapshot to back up my git repos in the event they get corrupted.

> * Apple’s reviewer has manually concluded that it actually is CSAM*

There is no manual review of the image by Apple employees. What is viewed is a derivative image, which is scaled down and blurred. It would be trivial for someone to use legal pornographic images and put it through a NeuralHash collision generator, which upon viewing the scaled down derivative image, would look like CSAM.
It’s not about whether it improves the situation in China or not. It’s about having consistent principles as a company.

Many people did, and the drives were not expensive at all really, not if you ever popped over to a swapfest (I had one, and money was very tight in our family at the time, but Dad was adamant that we have a computer to play with--- forward thinking, plus he wanted to play with it too).

But you're right-- it was too late to save the QL by then.

Of course, that wasn't the only problem with the machine, not by a longshot. I did my very first commercial hardware hacking in high school building/selling plug-in 'spiderboards' to protect the oh-so-fragile ZX8301 chips, and got my first oscilloscope in college to chase down all the ground bounce that was still occasionally killing the NMOS ROMs...

Lowkey (YC S18) Is Hiring a Senior Full-Stack Engineer
For example, working in certain positions of government for a few years can often land very lucrative jobs in finance companies like Goldman Sachs. There is a corrupting influence of finance companies on government civil servants to sway legislation towards the companies by hinting they will be rewarded later for it by employing them later in senior positions.

A way to limit this corruption is to ban government civil servants from being able to take private jobs after their service.
Which features?

getUserMedia is now supported in WebViews, so one can build, for instance, a FaceTime competitor that runs on Chrome on iOS, where it wasn't possible a few months ago. But the Fullscreen API still isn't supported, a blow to the web-based FT competitor.

What else?
When I developed programs in Fortran 77, I did indeed have zero pauses, because all memory was allocated statically at the program start. With any form of dynamic memory, you have effort for managing that dynamic memory and thus pauses. The different technologies only result in those pauses happening at different times and other consequences. Modern GCs at least allow most of the necessary computation to happen in a parallel thread.

There is obviously a conflict of interest here, but strategic voting scams are generally harmful to the political process. In particular they tend to concentrate power in the two incumbent parties over time.

I'd love that to be generalized to other models and other brands too.
I love this idea! I have a lot of little game memories that would fit perfectly into this form. I wonder how much of our feelings about particular moments are informed by the process of playing up to that point or what comes after. e.g. the introduction of the Medium Tank in Advance Wars is uninteresting on its own but really funny in retrospect when you get to the end of the game and you still have yet to see anything bigger (well i found it funny anyway).
I can't imagine how such an app could be in any way complicated. Why is it not just a website?

Interesting, though it doesn't explain how it's invoking WSL. As far as I know, you would need a second part of the payload that invokes WSL and runs the ELF binaries.
Coincidence. I was just looking at this last night, wondering about the state of webdev-on-wasm-on-go.

It looks promising and has committed developers. It does seem quite opinionated though, and having the same main func handle both the client and server is a bit odd. I'd worry that all my server code is getting bundled into the wasm file. Is that the case?

My father knew Clive Sinclair thanks to the Cambridge tech/hifi scene at the time, and we also used to live near him in Madingley. Somewhere in my dad's shed there's a ZX81 with a single digit serial number (amongst a lot of other similar machines: Jupiter Ace, ZX80, various Spectrums with weird and wacky keyboards, Dragon 32, Commodore 16 Plus/4, etc).

A bit later we also lived next door to Franni and Geoff Vincent who were part of the Acorn team that designed and built the BBC Micro. They used to let me come round (aged 8 or so) and use their Model B whenever I wanted.

Sir Clive Sinclair had a HUGE influence on my life. RIP.

Indeed, in France the 'nuclear success story' led to a state law (2015-992, from 2015, the "loi relative à la transition énergétique pour la croissance verte") stating that the part of nuke-produced electricity must fall to less than 50% in 2025, from 72% then, and that renewable sources must replace it.

In France nuke-power is backed by gas (which produced 7.9% of the gridpower in 2019).

Ironically, I think that's part of the reason it became trendy to hate on Ruby and Rails: they make it really easy to do things, which means they also make it really easy to do ill-advised things.
