At this point, with all the easily producible collisions, the Gov't could just modify some CSAM images to match the hash of various leaked documents/etc they want to track. Then they don't even have to go thru special channel

From what I understand it's even more cut and dry than that. If you submit a report to the NCMEC you are generally required to (securely) keep a copy of the image(s) being reported and any related info for a period of time. That's

It's highly unlikely that the apple reviewer will have access to the actual image in the database, instead they will assess whether the blurry,b/w,etc modified thumbnail could possibly be illegal. Given the level of secrecy surrou

Isn't there the potential for abuse of this to track things like who you talk to in private? Even if the images on your phone do not contain CSAM, the hashes of all your images would need to be shared with Apple, the NCMEC, and who kno

That certainly helps, but in some cases such as when the rebar is under tension the epoxy coating can result in unexpected failure if there is any damage to it. The small areas lacking coating are corroded more aggressively, resulting in de

The damage may happen too quickly, similar to how typical fuses or circuit breakers won't protect you from a power surge or nearby lightning strike. Other tech would probably work though. Unfortunately, there's a lot of conflictin

Even then, I've run into issues with scraping several sites for the reverse image search engine I operate. Luckily, in most cases I have been able to get in touch with the people running those sites to get a rule added for my IPs to al

Word of mouth works, but can be very slow and still faces the problem of getting those first users. Where did the first person in the chain hear about it if not for marketing or self promotion? At some point the word has to reach someone wh

The class should effectively teach you how to make that distinction in a given field/topic. If you didn't pay attention at all, you won't know what to look for or how to figure something out quickly enough to pass. Cheating w

Reminds me of the Supermicro hardware trojan horse implant crap from a couple years ago. That story blew up but seemed to have almost no foundation at all, and was outright denied by all parties who would actually know.

This is very interesting, if it's not arbitrarily limited hit/etc wise it could be a great solution to some of my problems. One of my sites has been flirting with the Google Analytics data limits, and all the options I have looked

The problem with face mask filter stocks (like 3m) in this case seems to be that while demand has hugely increased, ability to deliver has actually gone down. The supply is constrained by just in time delivery/minimal stockpiling, and

Accuracy is mostly fine in my experience, but the battery life is often poor and they tend to be relatively loud. I like quiet, so the noise is more than enough reason to swap the movement when easy imho.

I'm a big fan of IRC, and I'm primarily active in small channels on Rizon. From my experience, the kind of people who stick around long term tend to be extremely capable and fun to interact with. I find small IRC channels have a v

I wasn't aware of that, but given the transaction capabilities, it makes sense. I primarily use InnoDB and have never had any similar performance issues, so I havn't looked into it heavily... MySQL InnoDB tables handle the use cas

As much as I like PostgreSQL's features, MySQL does have advantages in some situations. The copy on write/mvcc type stuff in particular has bit me hard in the past. It's great in most cases but can cause some serious issues w

Thanks for at least considering it! The latter would work in my scenario (just copy until the next file doesn't fit, then pause and prompt for a new target). The files I work with are seldom larger than a few hundred MB, and many are o

That's too bad, the site got my hopes up when I saw the 'unlimited size' capability. It's really limited by the size of the target. If you have any desire to support this kind of usage, I for one don't actually care

Does this support backing up many TB many million file data sets to multiple smaller target disks? I've been looking for a utility which can handle filling a disk with as many complete files as possible, then allowing a new disk to be

I do my best to, but the number of news sources which treat my time as important is dropping fast. It's all about the quick buck these days. hn is a great filter for tech stuff, which is a big part of why I'm here~

I think this is a large part of it. At some point I stopped falling for clickbait titles, unnecessarily drawn out slide show style articles, etc. These days, the automatic response I have is to block sites which waste my time. If that kills

There is a huge difference between something like a porn site, and a service which just happens to have adult content on it due to users sharing such content. The first, which involves paying for adult content explicitly, may have a higher
