There are multiple meanings of trust in this scenario: belief in honesty, and confidence of ability. Eg I can trust you to tell me the truth but not trust you to protect me from a missile.

I trust Apple’s honesty. I don’t trust many attack vectors. Someone could gain access to their data center. E2EE protects that. A gov could legally compel them to provide data. I trust when they say they’ve engineered it in such a way that they can’t currently do it, and that they would publicly cause a scene and legal battle if attempted-as they have before. Accidental data leaks also happen. In all these scenarios I trust Apples intentions but know that nothing is perfect. E2EE adds a lot for me.
There was a (now deleted) tweet of a photo of a teen girl who they pushed into carving a swastika into her belly. He boasted about this as well.

> but ads designed to test an hypothesis.

I guess I don't really agree. The goal of an ad is to get new customers, not test hypotheses. If it was designed to test where the edges are, they wouldn't be blogging about it. I believe they tested the edges so they could find something that crossed the line, and then get publicity for being banned. But that's a question of intent, so who knows. Maybe they really thought this would be an awesome campaign, and are making lemonaid out of it getting banned.
Oh right, we should definitely expect to see more ads like this then... uh huh.
"Voiceless" in this context means you dont engage your larnyx/vocal cords (you don't create a pitch), not that you don't sound it out. Compare a whispered "ahhh" - voiceless - vs the "ahh" you say at the doctor - voiced.
I probably wrote that too hastily, and will give you that many threads are indeed deeply insightful by themselves.

I still believe that a 3rd party source that at least has a chance of being more objective than a company issued press release is the ideal basis on which to form a discussion.
Use FaceID or TouchID, that’s kind of their purpose!
This kind of knowledge has historically been shared for free. We are not entitled to it, as much as the author is not entitled to compensation.

At the risk of being downvoted to oblivion, I’ll say this: asking for donations is great, complaining that people are “leeching” your CC-licensed content, not so much. If you don’t have the bandwidth to maintain a project, just stop. Humanity will be fine.

This move to monetize everything is a huge step backwards (or forwards into the abyss…).
With Apple's current lack of encryption on iCloud backups, we are very aware of government access because those files end up as evidence in court cases after being obtained by police and prosecutors.

If government were to compromise end to end encryption in the manner described above, it would either be visible when used to prosecute people, or invisible because it would never be used to prosecute people (but presumably for intelligence purposes). Even if it were used for intelligence purposes through the method above, which I don't think is at all established, it would still be a significant improvement over having data in a form that is actively used to prosecute people.
So could your Android phone - even if it runs GrapheneOS. How do you know that GrapheneOS isn't a CIA project like ArcaneOS that won't push a sneaky software update to your device? You don't and you never know, so it's not really fair to target Apple for this. You will always be vulnerable to such an attack no matter what you choose.

The only true secure option is to build the source yourself, sign it with your own keys, and run it. Assuming you can read all the code and make sure its safe, and read all the code on your compiler to make sure that is safe. And you'll still need to trust the Google-signed bootloader code, which totally hasn't had suspicious custom builds released previously (ArcaneOS?)
The more people you survey, the higher the confidence that the questionnaire is representative of the entire population, or the 'confidence interval'. Since the population was randomly sampled & non-responses don't correlate to the topic questions, you can assume that the 90 students are representative of the entire population with +- some confidence interval.
No, there has to be selective pressure if we're not just talking about random drift. For hominids, sophisticated brains have been an incredibly rewarding evolutionary strategy despite the staggeringly expensive energetic costs they incur. Foraging is an intellectually demanding activity as we do it, so anything evolution can do from minimizing other expensive tissues (expensive tissue hypothesis) to high calorie oriented food selection to prosociality feeds back into improving fitness.

The timeline is pretty suspect there though. 35kya is far, far too late for any sort of behavioral modernity as that term is typically used.
Fritz!OS also does, it's used by many consumer routers in Germany.

My (completely unqualified, armchair level) understanding is that most think dark matter is actually real substance that interacts with gravity but not any other force. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_matter#Observational_evid...

"Tangible" might be the wrong word since our regular-matter senses and sensors could not "touch" it. Theories do exist that our model of gravity is just wrong at large scales. This falls under Modified Newtonian Dynamics, but has problems that don't match observation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_Newtonian_dynamics#Ou...
You're saying it as somehow "subjective" is bad. Of course it's subjective, and the whole point it a lot of modern art is subjectively perceived by most people as ugly, while being praised and promoted by "experts".

> why would you suddenly trust their unverifiable claim that the data is now E2EE

> It's a useless PR tactic.

Maybe because a single whistleblower would bring down the mother of all class action lawsuits?

Hardcore anti-corporate types like to imagine that these companies are evil geniuses, where all 100,000 employees are operating in perfect alignment, with no mistakes or disagreements, and all secrets are kept perfectly.

It just doesn't work like that. Threat model it for a second: how many more phones is Apple going to sell with this? Maybe a 1% increase, to wildly overestimate it? And what would be the financial harm from a single engineer popping on HN and saying "it's all BS, phones send the keys to the cloud, I worked on the system to store them."?

> There's absolutely no _technical_ thing they could do to gain any trust.

Well, that's true. But there's also no non-technical thing they could do. It is literally impossible to prove perfect technical compliance on an ongoing basis using any combination of technical and non-technical means.

That goes for open source too. Evil compilers, etc, can turn perfectly solid source into malicious binaries. The compiler's source can even be perfectly secure.

At some point you have to think about probabilities and motivations, and move away from this "anything not 100% perfect, which BTW is not possible, is 100% useless" world view.
> Back when I lived in NYC, I used to go to Nighthawk cinemas every once in a while for a date night. We'd pick a movie, shell out for some fancy cocktails and dinner, and enjoy the drinks and food while watching the movie. It was a great experience, really loved their menu. They even had a really smart ordering system, where you wrote your order down on a piece of paper and the servers picked them up silently so as not to disrupt the movie.

This is essentially how the Alamo Drafthouse works as well, and I loved their FiDi location (opened just over a year ago). The Alamo also has a monthly membership for 30 bucks that I used for a long time. Unfortunately, both of their NYC locations are inconveniently located for me, and I eventually switched over to AMC - and the amount of screaming children is insane - why are people bringing children to a PG-13/NC-17 movie?! The Alamo staff will come and shush people talking or disruptive in any way, while my most recent AMC experience had somebody in the theater smoking/vaping pot.
> where your local address is horribly long, for the sake of global uniqueness, which is something that most people don't really need

Apart from debugging where you can copy-paste anyway, does it matter? I've got a few services on the local network and over zerotier that all talk IPv6. In the last 3 years or so I've never used an ipv6 address directly. There's enough DNS and discovery protocols that I never needed to.

> Apple loves harvesting your store interaction data within store apps for commercial use

FTFY.

Please stop spinning that as if Apple were siphoning every single of one's moves everywhere, irrespective of any telemetry setting one has set.

Both the linked piece and the reporter's Twitter thread seem to have taken great care to bury behind clickbait headlines and scary words the fact that this applies only to App Store, Books, Apple TV, and iTunes Store apps, which are all "store" apps (presumably that's where commercial stuff typically happens) that used to outright be webviews (not entirely sure they are 100% native as of today). I don't think anyone would be appalled if a React-based web app would send vast amounts of requests based on user interaction.

So yeah, they should probably not collect as much data as that and probably should have a toggle to nerf such data collection within the store apps (which is not the same as OS/actual app/service telemetry), but the way things keep getting spinned is beyond ridiculous and does not help in improving anything.
This is a little off-topic, but it's somewhat hard to judge whether I want to try a DBaaS without any indication of pricing. For example, PlanetScale is charging $2.50/GB of storage which quickly adds up.

I know paid tiers are on your roadmap for next quarter, but I don't really want to start building something without some knowledge of what a company is looking to do for costs. Neon is such an exciting project and it's awesome how much you're a part of the PostgreSQL community and open source. Still, it's hard when there's no pricing details.
I think another one of the themes of that setting was that the Sabbat or the Anarchs were themselves LARPing as rebels against the Camarilla while creating their own petty kingdoms to control. A rebel today is a warlord tomorrow. Perhaps the same could be said of keyboard warriors.
My last flip phone had a replaceable battery and was waterproof: the cover had a rubber gasket and you had to use a coin or key to pry it open.
> It's pathetic to some people, sure, but ... what's the harm?

Hmm, pathetic doesn't mean harmful. It's closer by meaning to "feeble", which I agree with in the case of Reddit moderators. I don't think they are very influential at all.
In practice this distinction is meaningless. In fact I trust Apple more than my own government. To take your argument to an absurd logical conclusion, I don’t own ANYTHING because my government can take it.
It’s not that tricky as iCloud in a China isn’t run by Apple at all. [0]

The laws are different there and the only way that Apple could meet the requirements of the Chinese government without also weakening their product for the rest of the world was to cede control of iCloud there.

Big cities can be ugly, but don't have to be. Less car centric, more green cities can be very pretty. Any brutalist architecture in those is terrible, making the place look worse on purpose.
Learning Lisp in college taught me two things about programming: decomposition and generalization. The language's features (functional programming, first-class functions) made these concepts concrete and practical.

And of course the first time you see recursion it's like a magic trick.
This kind of seems like saying 'All a burglar has to do is break into the house and they can set up surveillance in your house'. Yeah sure, that's technically true, but if they're in your house, they can already do far worse.

If somebody is willing to go to some scam website and enter arbitrary PII, they've already been compromised, regardless of Facebook's involvement.
Very excited for this, but also disappointed that it took the entire European Union to bring Apple to heel.
I always joke with "We figured out how to move from Python 2 to 3 but we still cannot figure out how to do IPv6" :). What a catastrophic failure it has been. Should we just stop using it altogether and retire or are there people still advocating ?
* They have tons of your data anyway, lots of which is more valuable for advertising than backup of your photos.

* They are more and more into advertising business https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32520894

* Their executives admit that they want you and your family locked into their ecosystem (leaked emails).

Sorry, but advocating for them seems like very bad idea. Google was cool, pro-customer company once too. Until they had position to not be anymore. Open standards, without any vendor lock are only reasonable way.
Wrong analogy. Not many would buy an iPhone if Apple removes the main camera and claims they can magically take pictures from the front camera alone, but reveals they will have a better main camera for next year’s model.
We had strong Santa Ana winds on Thanksgiving in LA, which blows the pollution out because they come from the East instead of the West.

Car traffic doesn't make that much daily difference.
yeah. they are wildly different approaches to rendering, with the realtime stuff taking shortcuts in the name of performance, whereas the non-realtime stuff isn't making the same choices. accuracy rules with path tracers like Cycles.

realtime 3D engines have gotten extremely good at approximation, though, and they get better all the time.

around the time they perfect it, hardware will be able to do pathtracing in real time, meaning the shortcut path and the long path to the goal of photorealism were about the same length, just through wildly different terrain.
Growing up implementing IPv4, then moving to a different part of IT, I never found a reason to learn IPv6; it is something that is out there, but not relevant for me. I cannot tell if this good or bad.
Going by the "80 million" comment and the map you've linked, the countries that come closest are Germany (±60%), Iran (0.34%), and Turkey (1.79%).

Iran has an oppressive government with severe internet restrictions, so I'm not surprised they're not making IPv6 a priority. I'd assume their traffic interception devices don't work all that well without IPv4, they never seem to.

With 1.79% being IPv6 capable (not even configured), I'd say availability is effectively 0%. It's technically 2%, but I'd imagine those 2% are mostly hosting services and such.

Reverse sort the availability table and lots of countries have availability below even 5%. Nigeria, the 7th most populated country in the world, is at 0.38%. Lithuania, part of the EU and its economic bloc, is at 0.16%.
The key is that we typically think of pesticides as “poisonous to insects (or weeds) but not to people”
Perhaps that’s a pipe dream.

If it is we need to drastically reassess our use of pesticides.

The beginning of that conversation is to admit that a very common pesticide has been found to be harmful and cancerous in humans and we need to stop using it.

Isn't this an american english vs british english thing? I was puzzled by "an historic" for a long time and then I heard a british person say it and it made sense. Because personally I pronounce the h in historic, hypothesis, hitter, and happy virtually identically.

Screw you, telegram. I'll stick with open-source Jitsi Meet hosted on my own Debian Virtualbox machine using DDNS and Let's Encrypt so I can give people a link to instantly be in text/E2EE voice chat with me. No software. No app. No login. No password. Just over the browser WebRTC.
> Maybe because a single whistleblower would bring down the mother of all class action lawsuits?

Sure, like that is going to happen. I mean, "Facebook can read your supposedly-encrypted Whatsapp messages" will raise how many eyebrows exactly?

> But there's also no non-technical thing they could do

No, that's untrue. For starters, release the source. Allow me to run my own backup software on their servers. Allow me to transparently run my own encryption before I upload stuff to their servers. And a very long etc.

> anything not 100% perfect, which BTW is not possible, is 100% useless

This is 100% useless not because it is not 100% perfect (it very well could be), but because it is 100% useless by conception. What threat model does this protect against exactly? The scenario where Apple servers get compromised? I'm quite sure this risk does not even enter the mind of the target audience here, and if it did, the hacker could very well push the silent update anyway. The scenario where Apple itself has access to the data? This does absolutely nothing to prevent it. The scenario where someone can social engineer an Apple employee to give your iCloud key to someone else? It was already not possible.
I'm having a lot of trouble with getting fonts to look clear and unfuzzy on my M1 Pro with a new LG 38WN95C-W 38" 21:9 (3840 x 1600) monitor I just bought. It's driving me nuts. I've tried different picture settings on the monitor, with and without HDR, tried different resolutions, tried every possible value of `defaults -currentHost write -g AppleFontSmoothing -int ${n}` but no dice.

Anyone have any ideas what I can do to resolve?

Incomprehensible.
Pretty uncharitable reading of what I said; I made it pretty clear I accepted the premise that it was $7B. I thought this was an interesting and enlightening conversation until this point, I don't see why you felt the need to be sneering and rude. I might not be the only one commiting Internet poster sins.

I just don't really care about your criticism after that, I'm not interested in having a discussion on these terms, and there's little to be learned from addressing the least charitable interpretation of what I was saying anyway.

YMMV. I got my current position after a recruiter saw my LinkedIn profile (that was about 5 years old!) and contacted me last summer. I wasn't looking at the time, but it didn't take much to convince me to leave :-)

Note: "Apple Kills Its Plan To Scan Your Photos for CSAM"
In an ideal world, E2EE would be in high demand and used anytime sensitive info is exchanged between parties, but the reality is that most people don't know about it or the protections it provides. If FB and Apple can educate people about E2EE, even as a PR tactic, it helps grow that awareness.
The ability exists. Such constraints aren't used very often for root certificates though, as far as I can tell. The Japanese Government CA which was mentioned in the discussions around TrustCor was constrained to .go.jp.
You can at the same time be against the ads and against misleading publicity stunts.
I don't want Apple to give over the keys. I just want my key to be the only in existence.
