Where N of them have matched known CSAM hashes at the point of being uploaded to iCloud, they will be presented for human verification, yes. How is this worse than the photos being scanned in iCloud and being flagged for similar verification?
Inferior yes in the short-term perspective of a human life. Who do you think will is more likely to contribute to earth, a random person from Africa who immigrates to the US on a boat, or a random person who was born and lives in the US?

Migrants from Africa and south of the US border are like weight we carry on our back. More and more weight, the slower and slower we are.
I think that's an over-reaction. I am in a similar situation (I don't want certain people to know where I work), but I am OK with keeping the old CV, which doesn't mention the place where I work now, still online.

I have also asked the head of HR to make absolutely sure that my name is not on their public "our team" page. As a side effect, I always giggle during the mandatory corporate security training that tells how to deal with targeted attacks and demonstrates example phishing emails - so far, I received zero, if we don't count tests by a pentest agency.

> Just visit a tribe still living the old ways.

This is actually much worse data than it is usually assumed to be. People still living the old ways today have been shoved into the most worthless and inhospitable corners of the world. Back when the old ways weren't so old, the people practicing them lived in much better environments.

(Pygmies living in the jungle are something of an exception to this - farmers cannot live in the jungle, so even if the jungle is fairly productive its residents can avoid being displaced, until the farmers start clearing the trees.)
To me it seems like there are simply too many low quality and copycat games.
There was (and still is) a whole subfield of scholars trying to find hidden messages in Shakespeare's works. Most of them are cranks. At some point though, Claude Shannon, the father of Information Theory, looked at these claims and suggested an empirical test: does the claimed hidden message contain text well beyond the point of uniqueness (I think it was originally called the unicity point)?

For example, suppose you stumble across the symbols NEZNIVEHZDHRPNABGEBVNRDHVCEVZHFNOBEVF. Someone tells you that it in fact contains a secret message in ROT13, namely the opening line of Vergil's Aeneid. Should you believe them or are they overfitting?

In this case, it turns out that no system of roughly the same complexity as ROT13 (and that includes any of the 26! examples of 1:1 mappings of the letters) produces anything close to this good a match, so the explanation "this is ROT13" accounts for much more than you would expect by chance. For the same reason, in the linked article the acrostic NIKANDROS in a poem by someone of that name (at least when rendered in Greek) looks too good to be a coincidence.

On the other hand, suppose you encounter the word SXLL and someone tells you that it's the encoding of the word BLUE with a Vigenere square (basically A=0, B=1 etc. modulo 26) and the key RMRH. The math works out, but there are as many degrees of freedom in the key as there are in the supposed codeword (this is a one-time pad, for cryptographers) so you could equally well say that SXLL is an encoding of STOP with the key AEXW. This claim does not pass the point of uniqueness (which for the true one-time pad diverges to infinity of course, that's the point!).

By this technique, most claims of secret messages in Shakespeare fall because there's other, equally complex systems that turn up equally plausible different messages.

In a work the size of Vergil's (or Shakespeare's), you are bound to find some supposed acrostics by chance alone, especially if you allow yourself some degrees of freedom (like skipping the occasional line). My question for the claimed Isaiah one is whether this one is really past the point of uniqueness, something so unlikely under the null hypothesis of coincidence that we can be sure it's an actual "easter egg" hidden here. Of course, the fact that ISAIAH SAYS is on-topic for the plot here is Bayesian evidence in favour of it being real.

What is silly is the uncritical belief that all problems are equally solvable. This seems to be a particular characteristic of software engineers, even though software engineering itself is replete with fundamentally difficult problems.
Also things like computer language wars just don't factor into executives' thinking at all when they make big strategic decisions except in cases where it's a proxy for market capture, like dotnet where the language (C# mostly) was initially really about locking users into a delivery ecosystem on Microsoft. If you added up everyone in the boardroom of google and mozilla you would find less than 0.01 millifucks given about go vs rust in total.

The way this is written makes it sound like there was a delay to fulfill the promise. In reality, it only took 2 months for Netscape to publish source code. It took another four years for them to decide to scrap the old code and undertake a rewrite that culminated in the release a 1.0 of a different product line which the author refers to here.
Sadly in recent years it has definitely surpassed Proof of Work as a discussion topic.

> That's silly. 15 years ago, China celebrated finally being able to domestically make a ball point pen. Why?

This rumor has been refuted many times. It is not hard core science to produce such "finely honed material", no one bothered to make it because the total market volume is way too small for typical modern steelmakers. Only 100 tons of such "finely honed material" is consumed in China each year and it is declining for obvious reasons.

There were heated debate in China for the particular matter - should China enter all such tiny specific segment to compete with every country. You don't need a smart brain to come to the right conclusion here.

> If something has value, and would this ever have value!!, trillions will be spent, over 20 years, making it cheap to do.

Obviously this is not the case.

Americans are not building high speed rails, not because it doesn't bring in the so called value, it is because such investment would threat the interests of those airliners. How much the US invested in high speed rail in the last 20 years compared to its total $ spent on wars?

It is also lagging on productions of EVs, maybe EVs don't bring in values? LOL

I believe any mobile game on the App Store that is MMPG and does their ads up in a cartoonish illustrative way (rather than just going with unadorned or loosely adorned screenshots) is Chinese. Tencent has some really popular ones in the west, though it might be an age thing since I don’t know anyone who actually plays them except my wife (who is Chinese).
Of course. "Oursenplus" sounds Latin because it ends in "-us", like "Gaius", "Julius", etc. It's a standard joke in Asterix to make up "Latin" names that are in fact French words or short phrases with an "-us" (or other Latin-like) last syllable. e.g. "Gaius Faispaslgugus" (appearing in "Le Devin") - from "ne fais pas le gugusse" which translates roughly to "don't be ridiculous".

The same goes for making up Gaulish names, except the last syllable is usually "-ix" e.g. Abraracourcix, from "[prendre quelqu' un] a bras racourcis", which means to beat someone up. And the same with all the other cultures satirised in Asterix [1].

Now, "Oursenplus" (appearing in "Le Domaine des Dieux") sounds like "Ourse en peluche", meaning a plushie bear. "Peluche" is felt. In a native French accent it is pronounced with a silent "e", so more like "plush" with a long "u" as in "heuristics". Well, OK, it's hard to explain the pronounciation without sound.

The funny thing is that I know the word "peluche" and what it means (I learned it from another comic book, Bob & Bobette) but just seeing "Oursenplus" written, I didn't get it, because I was confounded by the "enplus" at the end, which could as well stand for "en plus", or "one more"; as in "one more bear". Or, more unlikely "en plus, c'est un ourse", as in "also, it's a bear". I figured that was some kind of saying I didn't know and I only caught on to the actual meaning when I asked a French colleague whether the knew the character in Asterix, and what the name meant. My colleague in turn, who didn't know the character, misheard the name and asked me "Comment, ourse en peluche?". And then I started laughing with the confusion of decades finally lifted, the joke finally understood :)

I visited Mozilla HQ a few years ago (it was very nice, as were the people) and came away with strong vibes of an organization struggling with both an identity crisis and inertia.

Baker is a great operator and Mozilla is still bringing in a solid income, but I think they sorely need/needed some sort of outgoing, proactive tech visionary type to give Mozilla a fresh/enhanced meaning to evolve into rather than continuing to live off the fat of the land. To be fair to Baker, she has blogged about how she thinks about Mozilla's ongoing mission – https://blog.lizardwrangler.com/2023/03/31/a-quarter-century... – but I can't help feel a more proactive and public approach might be needed to evolve and grow their market share.

> The publication date of the DKIM record will be _after_ the email has been sent.

Was that email even sent? Maybe it was forged after the key was leaked. This is what the author of the article is pointing out: The old private key being public, you can no longer rely on DKIM alone to prove anything about a document with a signature created with that key.
I realize my question was asking for examples of loanwords, but my intention was to ask for loanwords that also adapt the "foreign pronunciation and foreign spelling".

I am well aware that English borrowed plenty of words originating from non-Latin scripts, however based on your phrasing I thought you are saying something more than that is going on.

When a word is borrowed from a non-Latin script into English what else could happen other than adapting/borrowing the foreign pronunciation+spelling into English as well?

I've tried several times to do what I think is being claimed here and I'm struggling. For instance, telnet to a public mailserver I control, SMTP AUTH with an account with relay permissions, MAIL FROM so@so, RCPT TO my own Gmail, refused by GMail due to so@so's DMARC policy...

I remember being distinctly befuddled when I was younger watching an episode of Fawlty Towers when the obnoxious “American” orders “a couple of filet mignons”.

As an American myself, it felt like one should know how precisely how many filet mignons one wanted when ordering in a restaurant, rather than leaving it up to interpretation.

Didn’t realize then that “couple” in British English was almost certain to mean exactly two. I wonder if Americans also used it in that sense back in the 1970s when that episode was filmed, or if that is actually a bit of a shibboleth goof — the “American” actor was of course British, like everyone on the show except John Cleese’s real-life wife Connie Booth.

(Now that I think of it, as Booth was a co-writer, she probably would have caught this mistake if it was in fact a difference in American vs. British English. I imagine instead the American meaning has drifted toward less specificity over time.)

It felt like an unintended introduction to the architecture of the games. This included edit files etc (sometimes to my detriment).

Was thinking about getting a system to play games in the house but my feeling is that theres no technical lift for installing playing games. That playing the game was enough of an incentive to figure out the shell.

My Bangladeshi parents said something similar: “Americans don’t love their kids.” And while that characterization isn’t quite true, I’m married into an American family, and the stereotype does have a factual underpinning. That’s how the manifestations of individualism—particularly among WASPs—is perceived by south Asians.

When I said "all computers" I wasn't being metaphorical.

Do you have something that can XOR two blob of data? Doesn't matter how, if this is JavaScript on a web page, or an app: if it can XOR, it can do a one-time-pad, which is unbreakable encryption.

The hard part of that way of encrypting things has always been sharing the key, but if you're in a criminal gang, or if you're actually trying to undermine a government, you can share the key in person.

None of the things you've listed are even remotely sufficient to prevent unbreakable cryptography. Strictly speaking you don't even need computers: even a handful of transistors soldered up right would do this.
Yeah this feels like crypto again.
