Yup, and the penalty for an individual subjected to this is horrific (waiting for someone to sue Google or whomever for slander given that harm). The penalty for a company that fails to penalize "child abuse" is much harder. So th

That’s an absurd idea. The idea that a shareholder could sue because “obeying the law is less profitable” is beyond absurd. That’s like an investor in Purdue suing Purdue because it stopped illegally pushing oxy.

Oh, are you seeing the "market value adjustment fee" add ons as well? Truly mind blowing, and really feels like it's an incredibly dumb tax evasion trick

Look, if you can't trust university press releases posted to a tech forum for health advice, who can you trust?

There’s a big issue around censoring disinformation, but currently Facebook is actively promoting and pushing the video of hamas beheading a baby, and this video auto plays. This is the result of facebook’s content promotion algorithm, and

No the whole purpose of these “hashes” is that they’re robust to that. The attack model they’re designed for is image manipulation to avoid the hash match, not manipulating manipulating images to trigger the hash. There are numerous papers

That's not fair. NIST has a documented history of working with the NSA, intentionally hiding that interaction, and the outcome was a major security problem. So it seems DJB believes that NIST has not provided sufficient documentation,

No passkeys are based on whatever the best crypto is -- for example in a world where quantum computers are practical then they'll be using a quantum safe algorithm. Spy agencies, law enforcement, and criminals would all much prefer peo

Then Apple would be the only company making a gun that warned anyone , and you're saying that would make them worse than all the companies making intentionally concealable guns. Which is what happens with the other tracker devices: th

There are plenty of non-AirTag trackers, and they by and large have no anti-stalking measures. In fact there is an entire market of explicitly non-traceable stalker ware, and that market existed long before AirTags. Meanwhile there are expl

I would like evidence that police actually use the tools and evidence they already have. There are currently more than 25 thousand rape kits in the US alone that have not been tested. That is the entire answer for "is there any inter

No, you're missing the point. It's nothing to do with remotely taking a photo, nor whether or not you publish online. It's a "all devices need to scan all data and report if anything looks illegal". So yeah, if some

There are lots of things you can do to reduce child abuse, the problem is conservatives hate anything that means sex is not taboo. The result is that they block any kind of meaningful sex ed, and make manipulating and abusing children much

Oh look, we once again have this absurd "game console" carveout. When someone can explain what makes game consoles different from any other computer, please let me know.

It might be worth trying halide? I know they used to have "we make photography better" with a pro-photographer angle, but I guess to an extent it depends on what the camera is providing, but I recall halide kind of implied they

You mean apple should only use x86 cpus still? or it should only use Nvidia or AMD gpus? Or maybe it should implement Direct3D? (oh wait, they've done that)

Wow, that is not what this is even this ruling is saying. Literally the only thing being said here is "this lawsuit is not obviously frivolous", and presenting it as such is piss poor reporting that Ars should be embarrassed to pr

No worries, when it comes to governance in the US just assume the most absurd possible outcome of what seemed like a great idea 250 years ago in a country of 2.5 million people in 13 states, and less than 100 towns we would consider cities

Looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxation_in_India , India has a fixed set of GST rates and classes. It does not look like each city can have its own additional GST. The only "local" tax I can find is

Is this going to result in less use of "AI" or less use of "AI" as a marketing term for "glorified statistical model"? I'm not particularly convinced by claims of "intelligence" but that's n

The price on labels in a store is an absolutely negligible part of the problem. By the time you're looking at prices in the store you've already chosen that store, presumably on the basis of the advertisements. So the problem is t

If you're comparing prices currently you see two prices advertised: Company A: $100 Company B: $140 Company C: $150 Company D: $155 Currently, when you go to buy from any of these companies they all add the hypothetical 10% taxes you w

That's because other countries aren't as aggressive about pushing governance down to a local level. For example: in most countries you include sales tax in your advertisement, because why wouldn't you? In the US there is no c
