I believe the argument for privatization of services is that you can switch providers in a marketplace, that should provide efficient options. So you can switch payroll and billing systems from ado to new without laying off a whole division

OK I agree with you about setting a precedent that future storage will be scanned by default. Additionally who will control the reference hash list?, since making one necessitates hashing that illicit material. I only hope the court systems

In my opinion, despite the technical merits of an algorithm, encryption is only as trustworthy as the computer who generates and holds a private key. I would personally not knowingly use a cloud provider to commit a crime. That is a fairly

Yeah I’m paranoid like I said, but this case it seems like the hash of a file on google’s remote storage flagged as potential match that was used as justification to request a warrant. That seems common sense and did not involve employees s

But this court decision is a real world example, and not some esoteric edge case. This is something I don’t think needs analogies to understand. SA/CP image and video distribution is an ongoing moderation, network, and storage issue. T

I don’t know of the example systems but I’ve applied to a handful of companies recently, all running the same-ish workday resume ingestion. You can actually tell which are running a more recent version because the parsing is more accurate.

Lol fentanyl is more toxic by an order or two of magnitude. People would be on prescription opioids, lose a script, get on heroin because that was 4 to 8 times cheaper and more available than black market pills. The fentanyl crisis is a ph

Sometimes when people discover or extensively use something they are eager to share in contexts they think are relevant. There is an issue when those contexts become too broad. 3 times across 3 months is hardly astroturfing for big parquet
