Exactly right. The tech Apple uses can be one of two things: 1. It requires a perfect 1:1 match (their documentation says this is not the case); 2. Or it has some freedom in detecting a match, probably including a match with a certain perce

What's worse than child pornography in, say, Saudi Arabia? Atheism is. They can force Apple to tag accounts that have images that are popular in atheist circles (memes, information, etc.) and track these people down. The penalty for th

It simply means that they can have whatever the hell kind of method they use to identify specific images, and the scary part is: there IS an error-margin built-in because otherwise, as you said, this tech would be pretty useless. "Find

I've been doing TypeScript for 4+ years and been a web developer for 20+ years. And I experience literally zero benefit from TypeScript. Never has it given me anything useful. To me, it's a massive pain in the ass that slows down

Tailwind is the weirdest thing I've ever ran across. It's basically inline CSS. Personally, I write CSS this way: 1. Select based on cascaded semantic HTML elements; 2. Don't repeat yourself; 3. No unnecessary classnames; 4.

What an annoying presentation. They try to make 5G look like it's invented by Apple by labeling it "innovation". No, Tim Apple, it's Qualcomm who made that chip. You just had your hardware team build it inside the phone.
