My understanding is that Apple openly declares they have the same encryption standards in China, and that iCloud Advanced Data Protection was one of the things that started getting them on China’s “naughty list” again.

They decisively said “this was a bad idea” and disavowed the effort.

It will be very interesting to see the responses of WhatsApp and Apple if this moves forward. Do their commitments to E2EE mean anything or not. Will iMessage and WhatsApp leave the EU or not. That would be extremely telling as to the actua

Does Cloudflare operate different 1.1.1.1s for each country?

There's a really bad equilibrium where every country (or at least every country big enough to have BigTech workers in their country) figures out they can globally censor the internet by using the assets and people of those companies

The seat switch was accidentally jammed into the “seat forward” position which led to the pilot (who was strapped in) being physically forced into the controls, leading to a significant pitch down.

787 is also a well tested safe design which was designed after those nasty MBAs took over. 11 years and counting without a hull loss gives me confidence flying across the ocean on one of them.

It’s tiny compared to the mass of natural debris which enters the atmosphere as well. This is just SpaceX NIMBYism tbh.

I agree from a technical perspective actually. What this system does to counteract that is use a social strategy. The government couldn't break "this specific system" without a lot of people knowing, and that makes it very li

Can you feasibly run a homelab C&C server on the free tier of any of the big 3?

But the setup is that Apple doesn't know which cleartexts currently being processed are associated with which user meaning that even live surveillance can't work without surveilling everybody, making any such program very quickly

Apple doesn't want to pay the Jensen Leather Jacket Fee and has $200 billion in cash it is sitting on to make it happen. If anyone can create an Nvidia substitute for AI chips its Apple and their cash hoard combined with their world-cl

What Apple can do (and appears to be doing throughout its products) is not have the data requested. Or not have it in cleartext. NSLs can't request data that doesn't exist anymore.

Sounds like some combination of source-available server software and remote attestation from the Apple servers to me.

Man flys to the moon and back, and then 55 years later as a 91 year old dies flying a jet aircraft. Some are just built different.

Crypto wallets in web browser extensions seems like an absolutely terrible idea compared to any of my example.

Or maybe people learned about the ills of Prohibition in school and have bad memories of the War on Drugs and so a policy statement like that can sound like a threat of things to come? That's what gets me about all this alcohol discour

To be fair for me the extensions that get that are uBO, Privacy Badger, and Tampermonkey. I trust gorhill and the EFF to not fuck me over on my data, and Tampermonkey kinda needs those sorts of permissions to work. My password manager has r

Also I don’t think some of the points the author makes are accurate. Long range strike missiles like Storm Shadow or ATACMS and air defense systems like Patriot have performed well on the Ukraine battlefield.

Which is why there are so many VPN services out there. Or seedboxes if you are serious about this stuff.

That is very likely a longer term goal for Apple, but they want something ready to go this year and not to have a Google Gemini type half-baked launch.

Is this the sort of thing that a person with curiosity and a 4090 could do? It says he used 8xA100s in the cloud to do this but is it just a matter of the 4090 going 8x slower or will memory constraints kill the whole endeavour?

You are dead wrong from a dynamic game-theoretic perspective: A credible commitment to ban ransom-paying means that future ransomware attacks will get zero value for the attackers (beyond whatever they can get out of stolen data I guess). T

Anything that no matter what happens, could still maybe happen in the future but we don't know, is something that I treat the same way I treat claims that the Second Coming will happen someday.

Apple had a net income of ~$100B last year (and will in all likelihood have a similar amount this year) and a market cap of ~$3T. Nvidia is likely to have a net income of around $50-60B this year and has a market cap of around $2.4T. It do
