It seems like it was changed. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2019/08/28/apple-apologizes-for-lis... I was just asking a question, I wasn’t attempting some sort of gotcha. I really don’t care that much.

What are we talking here, 1 in 1 billion. I just can’t care that much unless there’s real evidence that the error rate is really high.

It’s a bit of a stretch to say generating a hash from a file is scanning. Most computer science terms like this are metaphors, but when I create a scan with a ‘scanner’ I can create an exact copy of what was scanned. Since creating a hash f

Yeah, they absolutely were not scanning photos and anyone with basic knowledge of how hashing works should know that. I was really disappointed with some of the reactions a saw coming from this community, which totally lacked any nuance or

This was changed as far as I know. Do you have evidence otherwise?

by dsomers 5y ago
What’s the strongest evidence you have that proves this?

I’d say 5” racing quadcopter might not be a bad home defensive weapon either. I’d probably go down if you ran it into my head at full speed.

You know I was saying that in the context of gp asking if it’s legal to sign in Apple preview which is essentially appending a picture of your signature to a pdf with no guarantee from a third party if it’s you that signed it.

I just had this conversation with my lawyer, in the Netherlands, and probably most or Europe, signing digitally is not legally binding. I’m sure this will be different for different jurisdictions.

A little further south west, Sarnia. To be honest, it’s cheaper than London, but I don’t think by a lot. There’s also the option of living in Corunna, close to Sarnia, but even smaller and less expensive. Here’s a semi recent article to giv

Toronto does not equal all of the west. There are a lot of low cost of living parts of Canada where you can affordability arrange that exact living situation. My home town in Ontario which is around 80k people has had a lot of Indian-Canada

Totally agree, the Canadian banking system is a corrupt cartel the levies it’s own tax on every Canadian. This was made even more clear to me when I moved to the Netherlands and every banking fee was suddenly 1/3 as much as in Canada f

True. I’m probably paying 60% of my income in tax living in Amsterdam. I could easily relocate to somewhere like Chicago or Austin, and pay way less and have cheaper living expenses, but I’ve seen enough of American cities to know I find th

It’s not just a one off though, I’ve used windows everyday, at home or at work since windows existed, I also used Linux on the desktop full time for about eight years, it wasn’t a couple months of me trying something and not liking it. Now

Well, once I bought a laptop with integrated intel graphics because it was supposed to have good Linux support. Suspended/wake didn’t work, and 3D didn’t work, I spent months on mailing list trying to figure out the problem, and I ende

Cool! I definitely learned a lot about Unix and how OS’s work in general because of Linux, and I really appreciate that. What I also learned is I don’t care about configuring my desktop and rather spend time hacking on Web Application code.

Yeah, he definitely did not word it well. I’m from Canada, and how you describe it as North America having micro states is also kind of true. There are states, territories and provinces, across North America with a lot of local control, but

This is kind of debatable through, sure there are national laws, and even EU wide laws. However, Germany has its states, Berlin has different laws than Hamburg for certain things, same as Italy and Spain have their regions with various leve

As someone that grew up very close to Detroit, I’m afraid your analysis will be right. Sometimes you stop going from boom to bust to boom, and you just stay at bust. At lest I hope Albertans will get enough transfers from the fed to run dec

I still disagree. There’s a lot more cooperation with the US and Canada in Canada on both of those fronts. Small US military contingents train in Canada with our military and vice versa. Furthermore the United States has provided intelligen

It’s really not though, I’m from Canada, and the fact is we do 75% of our trade with the US and 3% with the UK. When push comes to shove, Canada would never prioritize the UK over the US.
