Recognition and retrieval are different mental processes. When one re-reads a material, they recognize it. Recognition gives a false impression of “knowing” the material, whereas retrieval is a better measure of knowing. In order to get bet

I couldn't read the article because of the paywall. Judging by the quote, there are significant problems with this report. First, “a meaningful contribution to the world” and “the feeling of doing useful work” are vastly different phra

> using your employer’s time to experiment with difficult new concepts and languages when you have a deadline approaching (or long since past) is not cool. To defend the counterpoint, artificial scarcity is abundant in the industry. Dead

I am sorry that carrying this discussion won't be productive for me --- and looks like for you as well. I told that there were assumptions, and now there are more of them including the ones about my personality. I hope to have a better

I see. My interpretation doesn't hold up given your definitions of back door. I bet the authorities would be happy with a surveillance mechanism disclosed in the EULA, though. Even if such a system is not technically a back door, I am

I would say that it is a back door, because it would work even if iCloud Photos were E2E encrypted. It may not be a generic one, but one that is specific to a purpose Apple decided is rightful. And there is no guarantee that Apple (or autho

Have you used the Apple ecosystem? I haven't used others and I am telling you how it looks from my point of view. I will have to invest resources to discover the things you talk about. And there are lots of assumptions in the things yo

> The only way to prevent all this is for the system not to exist. I'll go one step further. Apple should have implemented a system that makes these kind of backdoors impossible. I don't know how or if such a system is possible

Integration between Apple devices makes the experience greater than the sum of its parts. If someone switches from iPhone they'll lose the ability to use iMessage on their phone, to receive SMS messages on their Mac, to sync Notes, Cal

Thanks for the pointer. It seems that there is no such thing as a meter except the “meter as defined”. And when people discovered that measuring length is not as reliable as they wanted, they didn't say it “can not AND should not be me

> You'll always have to go 'happiness as defined ...' How is one meter defined? You claim that happiness cannot be measured, yet in the next sentence you talk about measuring it by self reporting. One unreliable way of mea

Is there a guarantee that Apple will retain their monetary status, or even, money will be a leverage over governments in future?

Can you elaborate how your reply relates to Apple's case and my comment?

IMHO, what Apple is doing is not _knowingly_ transferring CSAM material. Very strong reason to believe is not the same as knowing. Of course it's up to courts to decide and IANAL.

I can tell whether I am happy or not. What do you mean when you say happiness doesn't exist?

So, just because there are sick and terrible people, we should give away our freedom and privacy?
