To add some context... When photos are uploaded to places like Google images they are scanned for this material. Apple is currently only processing images that are being uploaded to iCloud. So, these are photos people intended to upload to

Many (most?) smart TVs scan what you watch and send it to the manufacturer or one of their partners. Streaming, blu ray, home movies, and all of it.

If we are going to discuss or compare privacy with iOS and Android we should look at the privacy issues of Android. While I am bothered by the latest privacy issues with iOS, I also realize that Android is terrible at privacy. Right now the

A long time ago I leaned that no one wins an argument. When it comes to choosing a side in an argument, people end up defending their side to the end. I think it can get worse when the other side is unfriendly. This is what we have today wh

1Password fills iframes based on their domain rather than the parents. If you have an entry in 1Password it will use the value for the domain of the iframe. I’ve gone so far as to test this. In my opinion this is the right security model

What caused me to not consider Bitwarden was the way it handled iframes. It could send the parent sites credentials to an iframe even if the iframe was on a different domain. This is a big no-no in my book. This was a discovery in a securit

This whole this is complicated. Trying to do right for people on privacy while also doing right by endangered children. I like what Alex Stamos had to say about it... https://mobile.twitter.com/alexstamos/status/14

Our two mainstream options for mobile OS are one that stalks you everywhere you go and monitors what you do for the company behind it and one that will look on device at your pictures to possibly report to the government (with other governm

> How do you know which hash is the correct one? Figuring out the correct hash is different from knowing that the software you got is from who you expected it to be from. If you sign 100 versions of something and you verify what you got.

Smaller regular fires burn at lower temperatures and they clean up basic debris. If we fail to let the lower temp fires clean up debris the debris tends to grow. When there is more of that the fires burn at hotter temperatures and cause mor

This still comes down to assumptions. If someone was using raw kubernetes manifests instead of Helm and charts they would need to know the schemas and details of those manifests. Then, when 1.16 came out they would need to update to the new

by mfer 5y ago
Kustomize and Helm take different routes. Kustomize expects the user to know Kubernetes resources and their schemas. Helm and charts target the chart creator being being an expert in Kubernetes while the chart consumer (the Helm user) doesn

A couple things I notice about this list are the use of terminal and the reliance on available Linux or Docker. For example, minikube (by default) and k3d both look for Docker Desktop to be installed. We've been working on something ta

A quick look at that website and you see it's not for normal or typical consumers. It's for a technical crowd who is in to technical things and tinkering. It's like telling an average person to use GNU/Linux for their de

This reminds me that a two OS market isn’t a healthy one for consumers. We could use more diversity.

That’s not what this does. Articles aren’t communicating the details well. There’s a set of known photos of kids going around. They are looking for those specific photos. It’s hash based checks

The numbers being talked about earlier (17 per 10k people) come from HUD. The US legal definitions matter to their reporting

by mfer 5y ago
You can find the legal definition at https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/42/11302 Squatting in a derelict building counts as homeless per the US definition. It's not just people living on the street.

by mfer 5y ago
In some cities there are large concentrations of homeless people while in other parts of the country they are rare to encounter. Those large concentrations are regularly talked about by activists and the news media.

by mfer 5y ago
In the US 27% of the total homeless population are those who are chronically homeless. That's about .05% of the US population.

I'm not sure what you mean by "blue" diet. Do you have a reference? The closest thing I could find was the blue zones and the diet in these locations. A summary of which is at https://www.bluezones.com/recipes

Greger does tell people to eat plant based. But, he does it by showing what the scientific research has to say. Is there someone who shows what the science has to say where the science says to eat differently? I've recently looked at s

I'm not entirely sure if there is a summary of the video. The final gist is that a minimally processed plant based diet is the healthiest. This is the consensus and what the cohort studies repeatedly show. There are now doctors/sc

There is a lot more concensus and knowledge (science based) than people think. The news isn't good at reporting it. Dr. Michael Greger does a pretty good job at explaining things. He recently did a video on the scientific consensus for

Be useful to end users. Differentiate on that. Useful to people can be understood and is a selling point. What is technical merit? Some CS insider form of bragging rights?

What is chrome technically better at in a way that’s impactful to end users? The idea that the best thing wins just because it’s the best and people will share that is flawed. It basically negates marketing and influence which is what Googl
