Because when you have a Royal Society, you don't need an Academy...

No it's really easy, I had Linux running on a 2006 model iMac and I am as far from a Linux expert as you can come.

I'm not saying you should "trust" me, or anyone. Just consider the facts: A) - Apple have complete control over the hardware, the OS and all the most popular apps, including Photos and Mail. - They also have complete control

Or they could just scan the songs themselves. Why bother with hashing when you have full control? This is a red herring. Since they have had the ability and incentive to stop music piracy that way for at least a decade, and haven't don

> This distinction of changing the defacto ownership of your device and data is the real inflection point. So the ability to store child porn is what constitutes "de facto ownership" in your mind? But why would they "use t

Edward Snowden just went full Stallman. Take a good idea and ride it over the cliff of sanity. Of course privacy can't be absolute, we live in a society. Be realistic. Focus on evil things. If you think Apple have an evil plan, sure, b

All the other big players have been using similar algorithms for years, in the cloud. Why haven’t they been overwhelmed by false positive attacks?

What is it with Americans and the naked body? Babies are supposed to be naked, it's not embarrassing. We put giant photos of ourselves as babies, often naked, on sticks and wave around when we graduate. I have never heard anyone even h

It’s not per photo, it’s per photo library. But it’s per year, so on average once every 1000 years there will be a false positive for someone. They are communicating numbers. For example, they tested with 100 million photos and got 3 false

Up to 2 years? Hold my beer, in Scandinavia 5 year olds routinely run naked on public beaches. You're not even very shocked if you see nude grownups bathing.

> Now you might argue that there should not be a picture a a naked or not fully clothed child of any form ever on any phone No I'm definitely not arguing that. I'm not American, where I live you'll sometimes see nude bathe

What is the claim then? Why is it inconceivable that most of these people would be able to save up a few weeks worth of wages?

by Grustaf 5y ago
As constructive as this is, perhaps you could elaborate on what the problem is that keeps millions of people in a situation where they earn _exactly_ as much as they need to survive, year in and year out? Of course I can not expect a privat

Since the risk of that is 1 in a trillion, a lot of people are quite happy to take that risk.

In their own testing they got 3 false positives out of 100 million.

Or turn off iCloud syncing of photos.

This is of course entertaining, but since Apple has already tested for this, with 100 million images, and adjusted the rules accordingly, it has no practical implications.

Most people feel that things that happen on your device are safer than things in the cloud, you have probably noticed how Apple constantly stress that this or that happens "on device". And for the suspicious, it's of course m

I don't think I have ever claimed to have been poor. On the contrary I grew up in a a very well to do place. But that's irrelevant. > So having instant access to your wages may let you take a better job, and have a FAR GREATER

by Grustaf 5y ago
I wonder if you actually read what I wrote. I haven't written a single word of complaint about the poor. I am complaining about payday loans, I don't think it's a good idea, even when they are interest free. The long term eff

Ok, thanks for the thorough explanation

Hilarious, but not real. You can install whatever you want on your phone, but you can't do it through the app store.

Even if you assume that their income is entirely fixed, I don't think you believe that all of them live exactly as cheaply as they possibly can. I'd say if you can possibly survive without the heating, then it's better to do

by Grustaf 5y ago
It's not very revolutionary but making it easier for people to save is a better long term solution than making it easier to get into debt. Remember that we are discussing this on a solutions level, not an individual level.

Oh really? But extensions are separate from the rendering, right? So is that a separate limitation then?

If you take it to mean "new small business" then there is no lack of startups in Europe, or Bangladesh for that matter. I'm using the word in the Paul Graham sense, new companies that aim for really fast growth. And yeah, tha

by Grustaf 5y ago
The solution to that is not to live even closer to the edge.

> On the top of that, regulation in the EU is much worse than in the US Worse as in better for consumers and citizens, but more costly for companies that can't do exactly what they want?

by Grustaf 5y ago
I don't think this is the case, in France or anywhere. And I'm certain it's not the reason SV creates more startups. The real reason is that this is where startups were invented, so for historical reasons the concentration of

OK, so "no limitations" wasn't correct. But still, you can use chrome on ios, you get all the ui and behaviours you are used to, no?
