Yup, I was poking fun at the entitlement people feel toward FOSS developers who release free products. Amusingly, the person railing against Mozilla didn't catch that it's free and used "the refunds" as an additional tal

I'd say helping customers spot fraud* is serving the customers' interests. * I haven't executed the test suite, but fraud seems likely.

I'm honestly not sure what you're refuting here. Are you saying the hash DB can't be updated or that already uploaded photos won't be compared to hash updates?

by kf6nux 5y ago
The system can be attacked at the opposite end as well. Governments can claim hashes are CSAM when the hashes are actually images typically held by political enemies.

The other reason why false negatives are mostly irrelevant is because the hash DB can be updated to include them, so the risk of storing them in iCloud remains the same.

of the core voters* There's a Venn diagram of audience and voters. Hard to know how large any of the three are, but apparently YouTube thinks the group of non-audience voters is large enough to take action against.

> This is a good thing That's controversial. Determining correctness by popularity is one of the most common logical fallacies. What isn't controversial is that allowing targeted harassment of creators is bad for YouTube.

I suspect their dataset was direct link dislikes. I.e. people who arrived at YouTube from another site at a specific video who dislike the video. That's the characteristic of a coordinated dislike campaign. > the feature feeling use

That's a great point. Hiding the number is a sensible default, but allowing the creators to show it sounds good too. Especially for the common use-case of "how to" videos where a creator may be proud of the ratio.

I'm a little surprised no one reached for the obvious humor here: Google spends hundreds of thousands of dollars to learn humans will create mobs. This was such an obvious/good change to make. Viewers will still be able to use vie

> [can you reasonably say rallying a mob against someone harasses or silences that person?] Metrics would support that. A large number of humans speak less when they see their speech is unpopular.

Why are you making that logical fallacy here? It wasn't present in either the video or the article.

You might be able to seek a criminal complaint (not that I recommend it). You can call your local DA's office to see what they think. It's unlikely they'd want to take on Tesla, but a CA DA might go after the driver for crimi

I don't fully get the use case either, but it's in a different category than Postgres or Microsoft SQL because it runs in the browser and can be made part of your web app.

That's market cap, right? When people say something is a $x industry, I normally think revenue per year. How big is the industry as measured by transaction/service fees?

Blocking ads by accident isn't an ad blocker. I'm glad the "Tracking Protection" feature is there, but it isn't enough.

It's even more mundane than that. They just require you to allow their ads during your call. It's privacy preserving ad tech in exchange for 1:1 video calls. That's way better than sites requiring you to allow 3rd party ads t
