The ocean is already a dumping ground, full of plastic. When cut open, turtles and whales are revealed to be full of it. It's in the flesh of fish. Many signatories of the UN CotLotS are not even close to pulling their weight when it comes to their obligation to the ocean.

The half life of tritium is 12 years. I am not motivated to believe that this is the real issue people say it is. We're at far greater risk from microplastics and PFAS; a constant, continuing, growing source of pollution worldwide, on land and water, than from a one-time release of some radioactive, contaminated water. The water has to go somewhere and somewhere it goes.
Jakarta's airport and the general Indonesian attitude towards regulations was for me encapsulated in seeing an air conditioner unit in the domestic airport with prominent NO SMOKING/NO SITTING signs, with an Indonesian dude happily perched on top smoking kretek like a chimney.
Why all the disclaimers?
Unless, you know, all the knee-jerk reactions about talking about any mens issue have very serious, negative consequences in the modern world.

Of course they're "not compelled to". Why would they? The legal/regulatory "situation" allows them to get away at this point. I hope we fix this kind of pilfering soon.

We're still navigating the sleaziness (or whatever you call it) involved here to train unfettered on open source and public data, and not meaningfully propagate

The paper places the bottleneck "between around 930,000 and 813,000 years ago" and has it lasting "for about 117,000 years" [1]. This overlaps with the bottleneck found back in 2017 (also by genetic analysis) in early Neanderthal and Denisovan populations [2][3]:

Approximately 750,000 years ago, according to Rogers, the forerunners of Neanderthals and Denisovans left the ancestors of modern humans behind in Africa to make their way across Eurasia’s expansive territory. Once on their own, something nearly wiped them out entirely; the genetic data shows the population passed through a severe bottleneck, never observed in previous studies.

False positives would constitute a huge invasion of privacy. Even actual positives would be, a mom taking a private picture of her naked baby, how can you report that. They did well dropping this insane plan. The slippery slope argument is also a solid one.
It is statically generated. The reason to use React is so you have one language across the front-end rather than having some people using React on one site, and then people using Gatsby/Hugo for something else. Next.JS can do the same thing as Gatsby/Hugo but has more features and is in React.
>Then, he stole and published the hl2 source

Do you disagree with the article or did you just not believe it? Because, Gembe denied publishing the source code and there was no evidence that Gembe is the one who published it.
This is how I feel about systemd's approach of using badness when configuring their ever-growing badness-oriented .service files.

Ideally, you should be using goodness (inclusion of privilege) instead.

Same goodness things we do with default-deny firewall, and file permission.

OSM Wiki is not the mechanically enforced schema, it's just a collection of knowledge about the actual tagging practice. Which is entirely chaotic, and the collective consensus is dynamic - usually the most used tag wins, but there are less used alternatives here and there. There are many good proposals that failed to get traction due to too few people backing them up or for some other reason.

The addresses in particular are heavily dependent on the country and region. And of course OSM is a subject for controversies and stupid edit wars as well, just like Wikipedia.

I'm not criticizing OSM, mind you - just explaining why it's hard to implement a good search in it; you have to constantly adapt your application to what people actually use in the map in different countries/language communities.
> My experience would be significantly improved if I could have all the non canonical addresses bounce.

I'm pretty sure you could set up a filter for that.
Any info on how could I have my street address corrected on Maps?

They are using a random street name that no one else uses and no matter how many times I report it, they don't change it. It also doesn't matter that I'm a local guide with many, many edits.
Mass layoffs: because some companies did not make good use of investor's money. So now they have to recalibrate their expenses (and the easiest way to do so is by firing people).

Labour shortage: some companies did make good use of investor's money. They keep getting money from them, and what do you do with money? Hire more people, of course. But, as you probably should know the "working age" population is shrinking over the years (inverted population pyramid). It may not be so obvious to you, but in a macro-scale that's what first world countries are experimenting right now.
It's an incredibly bad thing. It's also an incredibly poor excuse to justify backdooring phones.

Cops need to investigate the same way they always have, look for clues, go undercover, infiltrate, find where this stuff is actually being made, etc.

Scanning everyone's phones would make their jobs significantly easier, no doubt, but it simply isn't worth the cost to us as a society and there is simply no good counter-argument to that.

The vast majority (99%+) of iCloud Photos are not e2ee and are readable to Apple.

You can rest assured that they are scanning all of it serverside for illegal images presently.

The kerfuffle was around clientside scanning, something that it has been reported that they dropped. I have thus far seen no statements from Apple that they actually intended to stop the deployment of clientside scanning.

Serverside scanning has been possible (and likely) for a long time, which illuminates their "slippery slope" argument as farce (unless they intend to force migrate everyone to e2ee storage in the future).
Low speed is ok, stability matters more imho.

There are old people in my village complaining that the 200 Mbps connection is "horrific" because there is something wrong with their equipment/setup so it cuts out often and leads to buffering on their IPTV.
There are native reviews in some places and not in other places. Maps features tend to be like that.
Hm, maybe I'm misremembering this but I thought SRAM was an American company that acquired Sachs at some point. And yes, Sachs has enormous history but they did not as far as I know morph into SRAM, they basically ran until the end of the line and sold to the highest bidder. I remember their 'Sachs Ultra WC', the Rolls Royce of mopeds from the 80's. Very nice stuff.

Thanks for that! Editing the map on a bike can be a hassle though. I tried many options and came to conclusion that a 360° camera on the helmet and a physical Bluetooth button to take audio notes is the easiest possible setup.

Exposed wood in the ground doesn't last long, if it does become part of the soil the carbon will escape into the atmosphere. The branches in cold climate might take a decade to decompose, but those too will end up releasing carbon quite soon. It is true that nature takes care of it, so it's not a waste problem like plastic is, but carbon-wise this part of wood stops storing not long after the tree is cut.

I’m not sure I understand Apple’s logic here. Are iCloud Photos in their data centers not scanned? Isn’t everything by default for iCloud users sent there automatically to begin with? Doesn’t the same logic around slippery slope also apply to cloud scans?

This is not to say they should scan locally, but my understanding of CSAM was that it would only be scanned on its way to the cloud anyways, so users who didn’t use iCloud would’ve never been scanned to begin with.

Their new proposed set of tools seems like a good enough compromise from the original proposal in any case.
While it's a good initiative, I don't think it works as this kind of throttling almost never simulates a real spotty and crap connection.

It is plenty, until you have to work with things like docker a lot, at which point downloading 1000 packages is normal.

Or if you have Steam, and every game wants to push 10-60 GB (!) updates every few weeks - this becomes a "leave the pc on for a few nights" ordeal. With 100 mbit/s, you give it 50mbit/s and an hour and everything is updated - all while you can keep working because you still have 50 mbit/s left.

Or if you have to quickly set up a Windows VM or other VM - not only is the download the longest process of setting it up, it will also happily update forever and hog the network.

Now assume you have 2-3 devices in the network, all doing backups, downloads, auto updates, and your 10-15 mbit/s connection is gone.

Good luck doing a backup, because residential 15 mbit/s download means 1.5mbit/s upload - you cant back up anything.
Or stream your desktop. Or upload images in any reasonable amount of time.
> I don't think the need to exploit opportunities is exclusive to major corporations

we are not talking about small, medium or large corporations. we are talking about two entities that effectively control the entire fabric of digital society and the economy. and from which there is increasingly no opt-out. there was never so much concentration. never.

> Their leadership is driven to exploit the tools at their reach to meet their goals

Corporate management gets approved their remuneration from shareholders. If they don't deliver they get the boot.
e2ee for iCloud is currently opt-in, without prompts/nudging. Most power users don't even have it turned on or are aware of its existence. The setting is buried/hidden in submenus.

Approximately no one uses it.

Hopefully Apple will begin promoting users to migrate in future updates.
I agree that those statements are correct, however my reading of the proposed Apple implementation was that it struck a good balance between maximising the ability to discover CSAM, minimising the threat vectors, minimising false positives, and minimising the possibility that a malicious government could force Apple to implement bulk surveillance.

I'm all for privacy, but those who put it above all else are already likely not using Apple devices because of the lack of control. I feel like for Apple's target market the implementation was reasonable.

I think Apple backed down on it because of the vocal minority of privacy zealots (for want of a better term) decided it wasn't the right set of trade-offs for them. Given Apple's aim to be a leader in privacy they had to appease this group. I think that community provides a lot of value and oversight, and I broadly agree with their views, but in this case it feels like we lost a big win on the fight against CSAM in order to gain minor, theoretical benefits for user privacy.
Should be "back in 2017" ;)
He's arguing against debanking people and organisations for expressing their political views, by comparing it to a heinous crime that doesn't get a person debanked, and pointing out the double standard.

The interesting question is to what extent should people have their ability to partake in modern society restricted based on their political views. It's a freedom of expression issue, like the ones tech companies have to grapple with when they close people's accounts for similar policy reasons.
Mass surveillance is never an appropriate solution, let's start with that.

I don't belive tech has an over weighted responsibility to solve society's problems, and in fact it's generally better if we don't try and pretend more tech is the answer.

Advocating for more money and more prioritization for this area of law enforcement is still the way to go if it's a priority area. Policing seems to be drifting towards "mall cop" work, giving easy fines, enabled by lazy electronic surveillance casting a wide net. Let's put resources towards actual detective work.
I took the milking as collecting info/discussing it, rather than harassment, as that is more in line with their stated policy of no contanct.
If it was easy, people would have done it. These companies are flush with cash and legally armed to the teeth. Unless you are prepared to dedicate your entire life to this cause, the numbers don't add up for you to concern yourself with this.

Worth trying out mapy.cz app for cycling. It uses OSM data; and I find it works well in the UK, I've never tried it in the Netherlands though. It has good route finding, but unfortunatelly you can't load in a GPX route: https://en.mapy.cz/zakladni?mobilepromo=1&x=15.6252330&y=49....
I don't think there is such a thing as a silly question but consider this: it's not just 'running the code', you need to actually understand the problem and short of a career in physics you're looking at 'numbers in that make no sense to you' and 'numbers out that make no sense to you'. To be able to meaningfully contribute you'd have to do a ton of groundwork first and then by the time you're ready to put your GPU goodies to work you'll probably find that path well trodden by others. For instance: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/5763440
> "Scanning every user’s privately stored iCloud data would create new threat vectors for data thieves to find and exploit"

> "It would also inject the potential for a slippery slope of unintended consequences. Scanning for one type of content, for instance, opens the door for bulk surveillance and could create a desire to search other encrypted messaging systems across content types."

Yes, and it was patently obvious from the onset. Why did it take a massive public backlash to actually reason about this? Can we get a promise that future initiatives will be evaluated a bit more critically before crap like this bubbles to the top again? Come on you DO hire bright people, what's your actual problem here?

The main impetus behind "child safety" advocacy nowadays seem to be by cells of extremist right-wing Christian / QAnon types who believe in conspiracy theories like Pizzagate and the "gay groomer" panic.

> Slow database call? No need to wait; we’ll just send that slow component to the client when it’s ready. Your users can enjoy the rest of the site in the meantime

Seems like he buried the leed, or presumed everyone already knows:

RSCs are ideal when you're pulling data from multiple APIs, some of which may be slower than others.

That said, if the slower one or two are at the top of the page - or at an anchor that might be directly linked to then the UX doesn't really improve, does it?

I'm confused how / why their docs would require React-iviness. Sure perhaps there's a video here or there but is that grounds for tearing down the docs just to use RSCs?

These tools are great, *when they are the right tool for the job*, else we just seem to be reliving an unhealthy infatuation with shiny new object for the sake of my shiny new object is shinier than yours.

The totality of new content in this linked NYPost article is simply "14 holes dug in the basement of a single building found no remains"

Minegoziibe Anishinabe, a group of indigenous people also known as Pine Creek First Nation, excavated 14 sites in the basement of Our Lady of Seven Sorrows Catholic Church near the Pine Creek Residential School in Manitoba during four weeks this summer.

This isn't one of the several Canadian locations where any of the past 100s of individual unmarked graves have been alleged after mapping by GPR (ground penetrating radar).

It doesn't 'prove' the Kamloops claims (for example) to be a hoax at all.

The industrialised savagergy of Catholic institutions towards orphans and stolen children in their care has been well documented as a systemic problem across the globe.

eg:

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-39078652

outlines the common fate of tens of thousands of post war British "orphans" (many with parents seperated by war) given over to "care" of Christian Brothers at multiple sites.
Well, to be fair, the search isn't working well even when you enter the exact string. I just last week searched for a specific address, entered exactly the correct street name and the app just did not show the street name in my target city as a result. When clicking on the right location (taken from memory) the address was shown correctly, just the search did not work at all.

Also, in the same city, route planning (by bus) did not work. Which was a bit funny to me, when I lived there 10 years ago the city refused to make the bus data available to Google Maps, so back then it was Google Maps that also could not do route planning there.

I like Organic Maps, with its offline functionality it provides a layer of reliability that Google Maps is missing - and my phone has no Gapps anyway. But it's a pity neither search nor navigation is close to what Google can offer.
Also this mostly apply only to high end bikes.

On the lower end you still get square taper bottom bracket, threaded 7 speed cassettes, etc.

Also for the most parts, availability of replacement stuff is still high for years because the big transmission manufacturer know they get as much money selling replacement parts than new bikes and groupsets. They have no incentive to abandon old parts/standards completely.
