Makes sense. I’m surprised they weren’t already by this point.

What’s the benefit of Waze being a separate app at this point besides the brand name? Why not just fold it into the main Maps app?
Reading that made me think back to all those breathy Wired article from the early/mid 90s predicting the cultural future of cyberspace.

Maybe it was because the writing style seemed similar, but that this is the let down review article rather than the hyped preview articles.
Ah so leave it to the experts who can't explain it without a "full theory of aesthetics".

> That should require at least a 273-bit length type to be safe. Since we need a power of two, 512-bit length.

The size of memory is a power of two because the bits in a pointer have two possible values.

But why do you need the length of a pointer to also be a power of two? Are you addressing the bits in the pointer?

Thanks for the suggestions
What a tripe piece of propaganda. Wrong on so many different levels and yet it apparently achieved what it was supposed to based off the comments people have posted.

To all those that posted its this or that, go and educate yourself rather than armchair spectate. Do something like read the Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith (1778).

The reasons behind the behavior being seen are not new, its happened before, many times.

Every time the price of wages goes below what is necessary to provide for the future, people will quit and will stop producing.

It is not worth their time which would be better spent producing things like food for themselves, and if you can't even do that you get people that don't work, and just lay down, Bai Lan style.

Its not new, and its a common and recurring problem found in socialist systems of every kind historically.

If you think the US is a capitalist system, you haven't been paying attention to the changes which were made by your elected leaders over the past 50 years.

If you think otherwise, you are lying to yourself, and doing the same to anyone else that listens to you. Do you think its doing good teaching and manipulating someone to believe something you should reasonably know is false and provide them fake tools to ensure they will never solve issues?

Most people can't even properly discuss these problems in large part due to indoctrination early in life. They are unwilling to learn or to think. These people have driven us to the point where now engaging in any kind of divisive discussion is preventing any kind of solution from being addressed.

You are either a part of the solution or are part of the problem. There are more people part of the problem than the solution.

The people who are engaging in manipulation and deceit to the detriment of all, are not good people. They are engaging in great acts of evil and should be brought to account for those evil acts. Karma has a way of getting to those people eventually.

A perfect example, we have known about the perils of climate change for quite a long time now. David Landis documented how the tropical climates make the environment adverse for human life. Parasites, bacteria, inability to create food through animal husbandry.

In the 90s we had credible research showing climate change was happening, Oil companies went the route of big tobacco and the bureau of tobacco studies, creating and funding false research to fit their narrative. They were not punished, and if you were one of those stupid people to fall for, it shame on you.

There is now no doubt its happening, many would argue its too late to act now, and we have a hot-box scenario rapidly developing. Who was the most responsible? The vast majority of people that did nothing or distracted from the problem. Who were so completely oblivious, uneducated, and unthinking, that now everyone has to face the consequences.

Edit: For the people downvoting trying to manipulate, apparently this hit too close to home. You'll roast in hell or pay a high karmic price for your actions eventually.
If the photos are hosted on Google's servers, they have every right to scan whatever they want. If you are privacy conscious, you can upload files you encrypt yourself at the cost of not being able to share easily. I recognize edge cases like the one in the article you linked, but I don't see an alternative. Not scanning for CSAM on your own servers isn't a realistic expectation.
Ohh nice. Have any links?
This is fine advice. I kind of like upwork because I can find someone, give them a small task, see if I like them and how good they are to work with. Then I basically fill up their pipe as things go well. After a few jobs you can usually work off of the platform so they make better margin.
I don't remember the exact year, but I used to hang out at the local Radio Shack and play with the display model Tandy TRS-80s (and later the Tandy "CoCo" Color Computer). The manager once threatened to toss me out until he saw that I had written (in some early form of BASIC) a nice little demo of the machine's capabilities, after which time he advised his employees to just leave me alone as long as I didn't break anything. (This same tactic of programming a demo of the machine's capabilities would later land me my first computer store job.)

Later in life, my first proper exposure to computers came when the fourth grade teacher's assistant noticed I had an interest in science-type stuff and arranged to get me an hour a day on the school's one and only Apple ][+ (kept in the school's main office). He would bring me piles of books about computers and leave me to it, and afterward would ask me questions about what I'd learned. He also introduced me to his Commodore 64, which was a far superior machine to the Apple ][+ at the time. Both were 64K of RAM, and 1Mhz CPU, but the Commodore machines were just graphically (and audibly) superior.

Actually ended up running my first business on an Apple ][+ for several years because my mum (who bought me my first computer in my early teens) insisted on Apple because it was the name brand she'd heard a lot and therefore assumed was good, despite my insistence that the Commodore Amiga I wanted was far better value for the money. Still can't complain, as that Apple ][+ ended up paying for itself multiple many times over and eventually bought me my first Amiga, too. Pretty good for a machine with 64K of RAM, 1Mhz CPU, and 300baud acoustic phone modem… :~)

Theranos was a massive fraud, but there was plenty of real money going around. Sunny allegedly still has access to millions, for instance.

It would not be surprising if these sorts of folks squirrelled away vast sums for a "rainy day" in places that make it difficult for governments to get. Seems pretty standard operating procedure for people who are legit - not just fraudsters.
Interesting... I hadn't considered Firebase as I was hoping to go serverless. It may be the easiest user auth system to setup though and the follow on access controls could be handy.
No moving of goalposts. “Sufficient” means you need to demonstrate L4+ self driving with no driver. You’ve shown L2 driver assistance. By your definition, any car doing basic cruise control is self driving.
All tort cases need someone to be the harmed by the crime. So of course the investors would be the central focus. How they pulled off the crime is how they are prosecuted though.

Running the fake company that investors put money into is as critical (or more so given the due diligence process) as persuasively asking the investors for the money.
I saw a t-shirt from a local plant nursery that I absolutely loved. The price was $25 USD, and for me it was an instant purchase because I loved the design and wanted to support the business.

This purchase was the highlight of my day, if not the week, and I wear the shirt proudly often.

When I charge for things, I think about how I can create a similar experience: someone paying a few dollars thinking they're getting a great deal and supporting a business they want to see more from.
A lot of them are pretty easy to bypass. EAC is one. Been playing a game with a friend that uses it for the last month or so, and it's been smooth, ever since I must've discovered what they use to check.
IMHO, it's the comparison to a stored hash value which is the scanning part. In my scenario, the hash calculation is only done during upload and the hash is not saved on device.

Let's say tomorrow China tells Apple to do client-side scanning, and let's say Apple decides to comply.

Scenario A (Apple already did on-device scanning):

Apple flips a few bits. iOS no longer cares whether images where uploaded on not. The code change can easily be hidden assuming no reverse engineering. There's little measurable difference unless the user has a matching image in which case the user is already done for [EDIT: in retrospect, the device should be running a scan on the local images every blacklist fetch. I still think that scanning more images is much less of a difference than the other scenario, where the device has to do stuff it just did not do before]

Scenario B (Hash Comparison is server-side):

The code change can be hidden of course. But otherwise there are significant changes:

The device needs to calculate hashes to every image upon creation which it did not before.
The device needs to fetch the blacklist every X days which it did not before.
The device needs to run the local scan every blacklist fetch which can be slow if many images.

All these things are far more likely to be noticeable and far more likely to generate network traffic.

>Pushing a perceptual hash of every photo to Apple would actually decrease your privacy as now Apple can find any known photo in your library - not just CSAM but on any topic - memes, political protests, porn, whatever.

The Hash shouldn't be reversible, so the only way for Apple to do that is to have an existing dataset. Which is possible, but preferable to the no E2E situation and (IMHO) the on-device scanning situation.
I'm an identical twin. I remember twice in high school we were accused of cheating because we wrote extremely similar essays, but in fact we both randomly came up with the same very specific idea at the same time.
I don't know what instances you're referring to, but few protests happen without any spectators so maybe the fact that a protest will happen isn't a well guarded secret. Was any of the organizers compromised because of Telegram?

The FBI says they can't get message content, and only IP and phone number for convicted terrorists.

> and food expenses would be local

Do you purchase food stuffs in the USA? It's absolutely not a safe assumption that food purchased here is locally grown/produced. That hasn't been the case for a long time, decade+ I'd estimate just based on experience.
I am reading an well argued book saying the same thing: The End of the World Is Just the Beginning - Mapping the Collapse of Globalization by Peter Zeihan.

He argues that international trade competition will withdraw the U.S. from international sea trade patrolling and peace keeping military operations and will weaken the institutions created by the Breton Woods treaty.

Interesting read but still not convinced. The book was written before Putin had that stupid idea. Let's see how does it play out.
Very interesting... looking forward to digging into this further. Great suggestion, thank you!
The apartment analogy doesn't quite work, as the scanning only happened with photos that were going to be uploaded to iCloud.

It wasn't like constantly monitoring your private residence, more like setting up a breathalyzer checkpoint on the way to the freeway.
In reality most people tend to back one side or the other based on their "gut" and if they've had a similar showerthought before and it backs up their own ego, while requiring extensive proof to change their mind.

Also in an ideal world you shouldn't just passively consume arguments on the internet, but do actual reading on the subject. Neither side on an internet debates actually owes you anything.
No need to wait: per Gene Wolf they’re also time travelers. They’ll come to you.
They take those jobs because their other options are worse. It is a way out of poverty for many. No poor country is going to get rich without passing through a phase of low-wage semi-poverty (unless they find a ton of oil under their ground).
>The point of E2EE is to prevent anyone, including the service provider from decrypting the communication.

The point is to prevent anyone between the ends from reading it, not anyone at all obviously. The ends are trusted by definition. Once the data reaches them, it's decrypted. They can then do whatever they want with that. The job of the E2EE is whatever happens in the middle (both in transit and at rest).

>Apple making a backup copy of the comms

What the heck are you talking about? Apple does not make a backup copy of the comms. Users may choose to use an Apple provided service that right now is not E2EE to make a backup themselves, if they wish. Or they can choose to backup in other ways (remember, Macs can access iMessage too). Those other backups that have nothing to do with Apple also may, or may not, be E2EE.
It is actually the opposite, you are the one advocating for controlling speech. Telling Twitter or any other private organization that they have to spread information on their private platform that they consider harmful or damaging to themselves or their business is a violation of their speech.

If I host a comment section on my blog and someone starts posting nazi propaganda I should have the right to remove those posts. Or any other posts I don’t like. Twitter is just a bigger version of that.

If you don’t like twitter’s moderation policies don’t use twitter, use truth social or Parler or 4chan or whatever.
“Both Nextcloud and GrapheneOS are FOSS which addresses your concern about it being a government trap.”

I was merely referring to the fact that unless you build the code yourself, there is no certainty that you have that a government has not shipped a custom hacked build to your device and stolen a FOSS signing key. Unlikely? Yes. Possible? Yes. Also, backdoors, as seen in the 2003 Linux incident, can be as hidden as a deliberately missing equals sign in 1 line of code - so, a sneaky government commit with the smallest backdoor could be undetected even if FOSS. I still think it’s better than proprietary - don’t get me wrong - but it’s not invincible which was my main point about how security does not end.
I think I'll stick to trusting duplicati. I love apple but it's already simple enough to use duplicati, an open source client, to incrementally backup to multiple destinations at pre-defined intervals.

Plus you can't always trust such a huge business 100%. What'll happen when you're locked out of your apple account? Yeah, no backup!
> You were presenting it as necessary.

A lie is defined as an intentionally false statement. You were accusing me of intentionally misleading. I was doing no such thing. You taught me something, which I found interesting but ultimately not super relevant. Consider alternatives to avoid inflammatory language.

> It's your scifi scenario. There is only enough for the current fleet (about 2% of world primary energy) for 100 or so years.

One hundred years is more than enough time to figure out how to extract it practically from sea water, which is recognized as a viable solution [0]. In fact it's already only 2x as expensive as mining - and the cost of uranium is today is $0.0015/kWh. The reason we haven't done it is because we don't need to.

> Breeder reactors don't exist.

Yes they do. However, we didn't pursue commercialization because we don't need to - because there's a ton of fissile material for conventional reactors. To quote wikipedia "interest declined after the 1960s as more uranium reserves were found."

And further, thorium is also super abundant (2 million tons of reserves as of 2011, and the USA has the largest) and again, CANDU reactors can already operate on natural uranium, thorium - or on plutonium - without enrichment, mitigating the proliferation risk you identified earlier. [1] Note that thorium is about 3X as abundant as uranium, and spent nuclear fuel can be reprocessed and used as fuel for other reactors, albeit in a process with its own trade-offs.

There is no shortage of fissile material. Objectively. Move on.

> The problem solving hat is on, and the solution doesn't involve nuclear.

Agree to disagree. I'm ending this conversation here.

It's partially because we should always act with a degree of caution and skepticism when the government can sentence people to die for betraying the government.

With a country like modern day Germany it seems easier to determine who the "good" vs "bad" guys are. But take the current situation in Iran as a counter example - there I think we'd all agree that it's decidedly less obvious that the government should have the ability to kill people who disagree.
Damn, I hated this guy's HN comments but he seems to have been a fine person who people loved. I probably come off the same way to everyone else here, but the people around me love me.

Makes me wonder if this is a property of the interaction mechanism. Let me set an unacceptable maxprocrast and leave this place alone.

I was a big fan of SQL as a language since meeting it in MS Access 95, but today I strongly believe that it became obsolete and too clumsy. I am now in favor of something more strict and structured, like MongoDB fully JSON-powered queries. Unfortunately, Mongo currently is heading directly into corporate hell, and with their uncanny license there's no way FOSS community will touch anything related with 6 foot pole in a nearby future.

Leetcode exercises are pretty effective at weeding out incompetents. If they have a false positive rate, that's fine, you've got plenty of applicants. If they weed out some of the best that's also fine, because the number one concern when hiring is to find someone competent enough that they don't become an embarrassment to anyone involved.

Real world business decisions are dramatically less optimized than people imagine they are.
You can’t believe that. That’s just like saying that laws against “sodomy” weren’t discriminatory and only passed for the welfare of the state when they were clearly passed to criminalize non heterosexual consenting sex between adults.
In this case, I don't think segmentation is the inverse of globalization. They're both using a service that originates outside their country.

It doesn't sound to me like they thought they were going to make money publishing it, rather the Astra Publishing wanted to raise its profile with what is essentially a low volume high quality loss leader. 9000 copies an issue is small volume, even if you sell it out, and whether distributed by random house or not 9000 just isn't that many.

Then at some point the economic realities hit Astra and they realized the PR project wasn't worth the amount of money they were spending keeping it going.

But it doesn't sound like it was ever organized to make money.
Having separate apps is better for users. I personally find Waze way better than maps for driving (it's still crap mind) - whatever your opinion about their relationship merits, consolidation will remove choice.

It doesn't surprise me that Google's doing it, what's the point in having a monopoly if you can't use it to your advantage. It's not good for users though.
Why would they support a system that hates them?

The message from the media is constantly antimale.
Even James Cameron called testosterone evil. Remember " killallmen" on Twitter.
Remember the force is female?

All the messaging and propaganda has consequences.
Never understood this either. Even if they need to be separate apps on user devices for brand / user / other reasons, seems like they should be light skins on top of the same core app. Amazing it took 10 years to combine the teams.
Don't go near Unihertz. I have an atom xl, and it's the worst phone I've ever had. It's riddled with major bugs. Their support completely sucks. Their business model seems to be focusing 100% of their r&d budget on new phones, and ignoring existing models.
So sorry for the loss you must be feeling. I met and talked to Chris just once, after a talk he gave in London, and found him utterly delightful as well as lucid on all things technical. Blessings and comfort to all who knew and loved him.
Do you hate the global poor? Globalization has raised hundreds of millions out of poverty.
Yes, it's the best spy series together with the two BBC le Carré series.

Le bureau des légendes is also similar to these three and just slightly worse IMO, and that mostly because of the weaker final season and an accumulation of implausibilities roughly starting in the middle (more series have that than not, sigh). But, for the most part, flawless acting.

The Night Manager is cool, too, with a very satisfying ending.

The Little Drummer Girl is also good, though there is some... uncommon? psychological stuff going on in the book that creaks even more in the series.
> There are moments of joy and content, but for myself I always personally know that hell is just over the hill.

Is the belief that "hell is just over the hill" rational? Or is it a self-fulfilling prophecy? Maybe that belief is in itself one of the major causes of that "hell"–and, despite thinking that you "know" that, not genuine knowledge at all, rather a harmful delusion
FTX killed my positive view.
I think maybe 5% of the time it isn't about love but the other 95% it is. A lot of people really are missing love.

The Netflix Series 13 Reasons Why seems pretty unrealistic except maybe it represents some unusual cases. In that series there are clearly people who cared about her but she was missing the caring of certain people (and I don't fault people for feeling bad because one particular person or a few doesn't like them). A lot of people don't have much loving attention at all though.
Agreed. Correctness needs to be the number one priority.
Maybe look up "reactionary"?
Whatever you label it, it's an arbitrary limitation of technical capabilities that is done for the user without asking them. You can backpedal as far as you'd like, but you can't apologize away the fact that the user should have more power over their iPhone than Apple does. That shouldn't be contentious on a site called 'Hacker News'.
