I don't think it's as extreme as you're making it seem. Going uphill on mountains means you're going downhill which not only doesn't use power but regenerates power to the battery. It's obviously not insignific

That's fine but you can still do that without the physical key, can't you? I'm still able to escape out of dialogs like that without needing a physical key.

Why not? Rest your middle finger down where you feel the break. Your index and ring fingers are now on the left and right arrow keys. This is such a non-issue.

I do not understand this at all as the break in between the up/down arrow keys is far more apparent to touch than even the bump on the F key that's supposed to allow you to blindly return to the home keys. If that little bump work

You can't feel the break in between the up/down arrow keys by touch?

While probably not really Pizza Hut's first web site, I think this goes a long way to show how a lot of the internet has actually regressed. We've gone from this simple form that just asks "Who wants pizza and where can we ca

No it wouldn't. If, as an example, google.com and piracy.com both resolved to the same hash prefix, how would that help you at all? The whole point is that the server sending the blacklist doesn't get the details of the page that&

That’s the entire purpose of this system. It’s useless for creating user profiles.

While that might be true, this feels like it would be a long way off. The prefixes could potentially match millions of sites and the results are only then matched on the client side. The server would never know which prefixes are the “actua

You’re ignoring that it’s not the full hash, just the prefix. The prefix could potentially match millions of URLs many of which would be duplicated with random pages from other URLs. You would need a very, very extensive model of every sing

by dpkonofa 7y ago
That’s on the client, not on the server. The server would just provide the responses for the specific hash prefix. While I agree that, in time, it would eventually get good enough to categorize people, all it would take is a change in the h

Yes, I do. I linked to that very same site. The prefix is the only thing that’s sent and the hashes are computed as unique for each combination of URL. The docs explicitly say that http://evil.com/foo is unique from http:&

How do you get that from what's happening here? Apple is actually doing the exact opposite of that. They're obfuscating traffic prior to sending it out to the government entity (Tencent) and only sending partial matches of the obf

by dpkonofa 7y ago
That doesn't make sense. http://foo.com/index.html would hash to something completely different from http://foo.com/favicon.ico . On top of that, the prefix, which is only the first 32 or 48 bits, would

They would definitely have a list of the domains but a hash isn't just generated from the domain root. They would have to have a hash generated for every single URL and then they would have to collect every single instance where a hash

by dpkonofa 7y ago
Unless I'm mistaken, that's not true. The hash is computed from the full path and the prefix is the first 32-bits of the hash (or 48-bits if using Safe Browsing).

If they're using the same method that they use with Google, then this is not the case: https://developers.google.com/safe-browsing/v4/urls-hashing The URLs are canonicalized first and then the full URL is ha

by dpkonofa 7y ago
Except that the problem with that is that these hashes likely won't reveal domain names. For example, the hash for reddit.com/r/gifs would be different from reddit.com/r/funny and so the prefixes would be different

Yeah... this kinda seems like an overly sensationalized piece that's just much ado about nothing. From what the article claims vs. what Apple responded with, it sounds like they're interpreting Apple's statement in the most n
