I'm concerned about lawlessness, but if the only alternative is that $950 theft is a _felony_ that's messed up. This seems more like a case of not being able to deal with crime than lax sentencing.

I know there are people who consider it important to raise the profile of prominent women because of perceptions of bias like this. This could be a self-perpetuating cycle if that initiative results in creating more profiles of women of bor

Thank you. For those not wanting to click through, it was 2.4% to 4.0%. I do wonder if the timeframe could be obscuring any seasonal trend, since it's measured from Nov 2019 to Mar 2021. It's strange to me that sellers put up with

I've now read up on NeuralHash a bit more, and while I think the idea that this is just a hash is slightly overstated, you're right and my above comment assumed this was a classifier rather than a perceptual hash.

What are those cases where they might be checked by humans? To determine whether it's an innocent baby bath? If you have naked photos of a partner which happen to hit a statistical match for certain patterns that are similar to CSAM? T

E2E encryption of iCloud data is completely useless if it also comes with a feature to selectively upload some of that data unencrypted for snooping purposes. Even ignoring the issue that child porn will turn into child porn or terrorism or

Given the sprawl in the Phoenix metro area, this is utterly unsuitable for families who need to shuttle kids to school. Arizona has flexible school choice and people aren't tied to their neighborhood school.

I think you are mistaking the strategy that works for you with the only viable strategy. The article calls out that this is a strategy that can work in some places, and it clearly can -- if evictions are fast enough and they aren't a l

I read up on this when the article first came out, and what really stood out was the way the supports of Calment's claim / debunkers of the new theory would ignore how their supposed evidence did or did not fit in. IIRC, the Guinn

This is a good illustration of a principle that when your sample contains the most extreme events you will find that measurement errors make up a much larger fraction of them than you would expect.
