Maybe it would be good to have this as a built in feature but it can get complicated quickly, I actually prefer doing it manually.

I'm not sure if only the client does the padding, or if the padding also occurs at intermediate hops, but Tor does randomly pad traffic by default (from manpage of torrc):

CircuitPadding 0|1
If set to 0, Tor will not pad client circuits with additional cover
traffic. Only clients may set this option. This option should be
offered via the UI to mobile users for use where bandwidth may be
expensive. If set to 1, padding will be negotiated as per the
consensus and relay support (unlike ConnectionPadding,
CircuitPadding cannot be force-enabled). (Default: 1)

ReducedCircuitPadding 0|1
If set to 1, Tor will only use circuit padding algorithms that have
low overhead. Only clients may set this option. This option should
be offered via the UI to mobile users for use where bandwidth may
be expensive. (Default: 0)

You are not currently wanted by the government - and only run into trouble after presenting a passport. This is not how a fugitive on the run would exit (or enter) a country.

There is a lot more to the DHS apparatus than simply scanning passports. Most of it is unseen by the public.
> That being said, Amazon currently has 2880 ipv4 allocations and 946 ipv6 allocations... not much gained I guess? :p https://asnlookup.com/asn/AS16509/

I remember the line being "the IPv4 routing table is 3x as big as it needs to be due to fragmentation", so that seems pretty in line with that.
Apple has a lot of things going for it, but let's not pretend they're perfect and anyone who doesn't use their products is unreasonable.

iOS still doesn't allow you to sideload without shenanigans (requiring your to not only have a Mac, but also have it resign any custom apps every week is beyond unreasonable). Some people don't care about that, but I do and not being able to do so is 100% a dealbreaker for me.

Not using Apple because you disagree with their decisions does not make one intentionally "going out of their way to swim up river." It just makes one a normal person who doesn't want to use, what it to them, an inferior product.

> the don't care to scan your pictures with AI 20 different ways

This is especially ironic as another post on the HN front-page today is about Apple giving up on their plan to scan iCloud photos for CSAN after months of pushback.
Not really, the CEO is the beta and the alphas are the shareholders.
You understand the person to whom you're replying was nonsensically arguing that cloud-scanning is worse than on-device scanning, right?
Something I've come to understand is that just as we have "time vs. space" tradeoffs in, well, primarily computing (but can be applied to virtually everything), we can also reduce essentially all preferential decisions down to "freedom vs. convenience".

The kind of person that uses Apple products/services cares about convenience. The person that uses the third party Android ROMs, in particular, cares more about the freedom.
100% can back the claim about Travis. It is awful and very buggy.

For our case, we are migrating to the Google Cloud Build. More stable and features but also some things are still lacking. Nonetheless, a big step up from Travis.
Ahhh that makes sense, and more reasonable why they removed the class. Thanks for sharing!
Glad to see there are so many enlightened souls in this thread who wield their well-configured flaming swords of truth against the darkness between the non-whitespaces.

I for one was eternally flustered as a new programmer in college trying to edit Makefiles with the tools that I felt comfortable with and that were available to me. The tab/space debacle is a completely unnecessary footgun, even worse than the various atrocities of variable assignment spacing and test bracket spacing in `sh`. I am grateful for Make to exist in that it is an important part of the history of Unix and software development, but would rather not use it if given the option.

I for one graciously accept Stuart Feldman's apology.

This looks like a really interesting finding, probably it can be used in quantum or servers hardware designs where a lot of variables are under control like temperature. I think in quantum computers it could help to minimize the size of them and make those hardware more resistant to certain physical variables to reach it beyond labs.
> how the hell would they know if you're flying to Hawaii or not if headed to the Pacific

Fwiw, you have scheduled flight plans and if a pilot did this deliberately they'd be reprimanded hard. You also have to land international flights in designated airports that have immigration. This wouldn't be easy to do if you're both wanted and bankrupt!

There’s a reason we call them anatomically modern and not just humans. There is a period ~35kya where we get “Modern man” and it correlates with increased brain activity.

EDIT: Whether or not Apple should be scanning for CSAM in some way is an entirely separate argument to whether it should be "on device" or "in cloud". That's not obvious, so my explanation below explains why that is the case.

I disagree. On-device scanning is desirable here and scanning it in iCloud though the industry-norm, is not desirable.

Apple specifically stated they would only scan the photos being uploaded to iCloud [1] and not local photos which were not being uploaded.

Most cloud storage providers are scanning in the cloud, this necessitates a workflow where both the photos and decryption keys are accessible by the same server and that there is a security workflow to request the users decryption keys without the user involved (by way of their account password, or other enforcement mechanisms designed to ensure only the real user can access such keys, Apple has previously detailed Hardware HSM enforced details of that for iCloud in their Apple Platform Security guide [2]).

By extension that opens up the potential for a malicious employee or third-party to either intercept those photos while being scanned or otherwise allows a workflow that could be exploited to request the keys and photos. This is a major loss of security and privacy which Apple is specifically and intentionally designing to avoid. Until now iCloud Backups were a major weakness in that story however they also today announced they are fixing that [3].

Hence: the on-device scanning was just an entirely technical solution to scanning "only photos uploaded to icloud" (like everyone else) while also "ensuring some server in icloud can't decrypt your photos".

You could of course argue that it makes a later change of policy to scan local-only photos easier. While this is true, Apple could decide to add code to iOS to do anything they want at any time, so they could just decide to do that anyway, even if they were scanning iCloud photos in the cloud. At the same time, by not scanning them in the cloud, they have a technical solution to ensure it's much harder for a malicious actor to get unauthorised access to iCloud user photos. Because there is no place/server that is "supposed" to be able to access both the photos and the keys.

You process literal pounds of ADP to ATP and back to ADP, every day.

> Because they really want to prevent child abuse?

It's pretty likely that the vast majority of people involved with anti-CSAM efforts are in it for precisely that reason. Apple is just an organization of people, after all. For every free speech absolutist that believes child porn is a necessary evil we must accept in order to preserve our freedom of expression, there are probably a thousand people who are comfortable with scanning hashes if it stands a good chance of catching the assholes making it and spreading it around.
If I recall, the same argument was used to justify Octave's Fortran coded libraries for stats. Primarily, it was an argument about historical consistency in the assumptions people agreed upon at NASA.

Julia's library compatibility is still an issue, but hardly related to the language itself. Unlike many languages, Julia has regression testing for its graphical plotting output. This means it can and usually does check that a given output matches a previously known function(s) output across each release iteration. This means that unlike many languages that fix/ignore various external library versions, Julia actually checks that data gives the exact same results every time.

The caveat is that people must report issues to the project, or add regression tests to ensure correctness persists throughout the ecosystem. =)
The pool rules are about sanitation and safety. The law allowing burkinis was removed because "it violates the principle of government neutrality toward religion" by being written to accommodate a single religion.

The secularism rule basically says that the government should not make laws to accommodate one religion because then it would have to make laws to accommodate any and all religions, and there is no limit to how wacky a religion can be.
> They can’t censor transactions?

Not forever.

They could try, but if that was clearly against the interests of the rest of the community, the minority could counteract by adopting a client that forked the chain to a state where the majority holders are slashed.
Be aware though that unihertz is exceptionally bad at updates.

I had the original jelly (non-pro) and they didn't even provide the Android 8 Oreo update they promised in the Kickstarter. Only the pro version got that but it was promised for both.

Also security updates were few and far between. Only buy this if you don't care about updates at all.

With their later models there have been a lot of quality concerns, like the rugged Atom losing rubber parts and getting water in the camera despite being sold as waterproof. I didn't get that one but I followed the Kickstarter comments waiting to buy it in case it turned out really good.

We are not even sure it exists, so anything is possible. All we know is there something we can’t see or detect in any way, except that it affects on how fast the galaxies spin. But it could be that our models are just wrong.
This is how you lose. You drown in a mountain of frivolous claims endlessly batting away BS while an OP just keeps on raining comments in new threads. You may feel better refuting something in 3 paragraphs but often a quick flick on the nose is an apt response.
Start-ups are a gamble. Presumably people know this when they accept the job. Small chance of massive pay off, much larger chance the whole thing implodes.

Just because you've ripped off Larry Ellison and Henry Kissinger doesn't quite grant you these kinds of globe-trotting powers.

I suppose you could always try to pay a coyote, but, uh, that's a bit of a high-risk play.

Or you could drive into Mexico, but without actually having fuck-you money and connections (These two don't), you're not likely going to stay outside of the arms of law enforcement for very long.

And if all this works out, and you end up on the run, you now have to full-sever every connection you have to anyone you know. Not a lot of fun.

Manning up and just doing the 11 or 13 years in Club Fed seems pretty attractive, compared to all that.

> will Apple choose to shut down rather than to comply

Apple will probably comply, just like I would probably comply rather than go to jail or suffer injury to myself or my loved ones. But I think it's fair to treat that as a distinct threat.
This undated blog post (published in about May this year) is not the last word on Julia. There have been fixes made to issues brought up.

Julia's authors get credit for trying to rewrite many core compute/LA libraries from scratch in a composable manner rather than using ancient fortran code nobody dares touch. That said, the article was a good wake up call to the community that tests and correctness is vital for trust.

Edit: First paragraph removed as the person I referred to disagrees with me and asked me to make an edit.
GrapheneOS is a project rather than just a few devs. They have exhibited very high focus on security and peer review before commits. The code is FOSS and heavily audited by the most paranoid people like me. It is one of many AOSP projects with a relatively small user base. Therefore it is not a valuable target for compromise or coercion from threat actors.

Apple on the other hand is the biggest corporation in the world beholden to governments, closed source, and with a massive user base.
I think you mean Dreamgirls, not Showgirls.
> Do you think Sunny would have gotten all those investments from old military guys?

You're reading far too much into the wording of my comment.

Yes, being distracted by dinners with politicians and investors was a critical part of the scam. Regardless, having a "real" company is what allowed her have that image. She just wanted to maintain the fantasy lifestyle and didn't care how. The hard day-to-day grunt work was done by Sunny, while she barely talked to employees.

VCs engage in plenty of due diligence into portfolio companies. After 5-6yrs the persuasive pitch deck + founder is no longer good enough to avoid questions. That's where well run company protects the lie long-term, the meat and potatoes.
This point is unrelated to the one I made. But the preceding commenter didn't make up the fact that le Carré drew flak from the British IC; that's one of the most often-told stories about him.

For instance (first thing off the SERP, didn't dig deeper):

https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/12/26/what-spies-really-think...

If you're totally unfamiliar with le Carré's work, it's OK not to have an opinion about him! He's not, like, part of the Canon.
The argument rests on the comparison of a user's local device to a private residence. Google, Facebook and Microsoft do scanning in their cloud and it's fine because it's in their servers. Apple's original suggestion was to do client-side scanning in the user's device and this is compared to a search of a residence.

There are higher levels to the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's story. Had the media covered the story in the manner of Johnny Depp's trial or the drama comedy roast in, The Wolf of Wall Street, soon enough, we might know Jeffrey Epstein's sentencing length.
> Right now, most application software need non-trivial rewrite to add ipv6 support:

That's not right.

If you've been using the platform network libraries for things then IPv6 will just work with anything more recent than Windows XP. Unless you've been hardcoding IP length expectations then there is basically nothing to do.

Seriously, use the platform libraries. They handle all the edge cases and stop storing IP address in a uint32.
I think that's a separate issue. I'm not saying that Apple or any other service provider should not be considered a potential adversary. I'm saying it's still a good thing for service providers to implement solutions to threats.
i'm speaking from the perspective of the mass consumer and thus am comparing them to other mass consumer product companies.

what you're describing is not the norm and those options should always be available, but the effort to value is simply not there to large portions of the mobile users.

Regarding backdating: isn't there a thing like a log that cannot be fudged with? I.e. if you issue a cert now with date y - 1, it needs to be on the log at y - 1. Which will invalidate al l entries after that. Like a hashlist (I don't want to say the other word)
> 1) they just ate every other 3rd party "secure" backup services lunch just like they did to the Hi-Res music industry.

This is not something to celebrate IMO, Apple keeps doing this and then pushing out the 3rd party options either by pure positioning and bankruptcy or by app store policy.

The result is no choice, no competition, and over time a worse product due to absence of market forces ... beyond the high resistance threshold of getting bad enough for a user to flip the table and exit the entire iOS ecosystem they've invested in - this is the danger of 100% vertical integration.

> Will people forget about me if I am not on the internet?

I dropped off the internet while I was in the military and deployed, the answer is yes.

That said, I'd like to turn this on its head. It's normal for friends to go out of touch, reconnect in somewhat of a cycle. Some people stay constantly in touch, but not everyone. That isn't normal, and to be quite honest, would be super stressful for me. It's like juggling a dozen hot plates with pancakes being formed on them. You're eventually going to burn one or let it all burn spectacularly. My conclusion was that losing touch with a lot of my high school and college friends wasn't historically abnormal - staying in touch with them forever was.

It's also normal to have different depths of friendships. Not everyone needs to hear your deepest inner thoughts. This kind of summarizes what I think is wrong with social media.

Internet culture and it's subcultures are weird. That's to say, though, that any deeply entrenched culture is kinda weird. They have their own language, memes, attitudes, etc formed and influenced by the adjacency of it's members. That's to say, I look at sports people the way this person looks at the weird assortment they followed to a ketamine party. If you're going to a giant parking lot, ripping your shirt off, screaming, getting black out drunk, screaming at players, devoting precious memory to niche sports and player statistics - are you not mechanically the same as these folks? The difference being that your community is physical.
- Inmates typically have a high turnover of getting out or being moved. The training cost are probably not worth it if they get out of jai in 9 months. If they are in for years it probably means they have done something horrific.

-Lots of advocates have called work programs for inmates (such as firefighters or making license plates or whatever) modern slavery. I can't imagine this is press any company would want in exchange for customer service reps that would probably still be more expensive than outsourcing to India.

- Id also imagine for anything more complex it would be difficult as inmates are typically not given unfettered internet access.

This necessitates a workflow where both the photos and decryption keys are accessible by the same server and that there is a security workflow to request the users decryption keys without the user involved.

This is specifically what Apple is trying to avoid - they are intentionally pushing an environment where the user must be involved to get the keys, by way of their account password and/or other enforcement mechanisms designed to ensure only the real user can access such keys.

This is discussed in detail in their Apple Platform Security guide:
https://help.apple.com/pdf/security/en_US/apple-platform-sec...

All of the facial recognition, object identification, etc is all done on-device for the same reason. By contrast Google can and does do this in the cloud - and there are Google servers that intentionally have access to decrypt your photos.

iCloud backup was previously a vector that bypassed this, however they also today announced they are fixing that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33897793 "Apple introduces end-to-end encryption for backups"
I believe it's a moral obligation not to trade speed for efficiency when you consider the raw material(animals) are almost "free" as far as ethics are concerned(i.e we kill them for the taste of their meat with almost no ethical cost). I have a different opinion on human testing of course.

It's like banning SpaceX's "sloppy" development because the failure of their rockets create pollution. Polution is bad and causes death but I think we should not get religious about polution where it matters little and the potential reward is high.
