if you believe their paper no. it’s gonna land in ios 15. they have to ship the db and enable the functionality. also this applies to new pictures (not what you already have) again, if you believe what they are sharing

The Big Brain Scheme Apple uses for their CSAM stuff. Summary for the lazy: - this is going to be out in ios15 - Apple will build and push a database of hashes with every update - these hashes will be used to verify against the pics befor

> Apple is trying their best to thread the needle, providing as much privacy as possible while plausibly covering their bases so congress won't pass onerous and privacy stripping laws. There is the problem right there. How can you t

nah. this is not how trust works. if Apple does stuff like this, I stop trusting Apple. Binary. Trust of No Trust. Who is to say once they start doing this they will not extend their capabilities and monitor everything on the device? This i

essential complexity == simplicity. Make it as simple as it can be but not simpler. To me it’s sort of implied that it’s unneeded complexity when we talk about it as something that should not be there and it’s making our life hard.

lookup what CDC, the initials stand for. They have failed miserably both at controlling the spread of the disease and informing the public. Instead of focusing on what they should be doing they are playing the politics and the CYA game. Dis

You’re being selective. Crypto transfers are slow? jesus, did tou ever do a wire? have you seen moving something take days? compared to that minutes is instant. You’re gonna tell me about CC processing next. Hate to break it to you but when

Guns do a lot of good? I’m sorry we’re probably living in different universes. In my, I see school shootings after school shooting with lots of thoughts and prayers sprinkled in between. It’s the best guns+religion==winning! > no one is

Okay. Let’s play the: X is causing more harm to society than good. X=guns Are guns causing more harm than good? Should we ban guns? X=religion. Is religion causing more harm than good? Should we ban any form of religion? X=social media. Is

I think it’s a classic example of myopically focusing on some aspects of a technology while missing the entire point. You’ll hear about net benefits to society (like those are easy to measure), about power consumption (like all if a sudden

that was always an option to stop the discussion. I mean CDC lied about COVID repeatedly and issued guidance that was disastrous. Remember the whole “you don’t need masks unless you’re a doctor” in the beginning? How about withholding criti

normally I would just say: appeal to authority, but since it’s the CDC and they have royalty screwed up the pandemic response I’m gonna go the extra mile: “fuck the CDC”

you missed the 2nd part: access to a nutritionist or have a lot of knowledge about nutrition yourself. there is no way average joe can figure all these things out on a limited budget + limited time evolutionary considerations are a part if

i would soften this a bit. If you’re not willing to delegate the killing (fully understanding what it is) you should not eat meat.
51.
by rantwasp 5y ago
I strongly disagree. I would also like you to point me to resources that show you how to build such a diet. Don’t get me wrong. Eating a mostly-plant based diet is okay and doable but I’m talking the last 5-10% territory.
52.
by rantwasp 5y ago
nope. Eating a 100% vegan diet without taking any supplements and without having access to a great nutritionist will make you have a bad time. It’s stupid hard to get all the nutrients you need without meat and you need to be in a privilege

by rantwasp 5y ago
I does raise an important question. Why do we have predators and why do we even have a food chain? Is it possible that evolutionary consuming meat gives you an advantage?
54.
by rantwasp 5y ago
Oh wow. Let me try forming that argument: 1) meat is nutrient-packed and getting all your nutrients from a plant based diet is stupid hard 2) to be able to be a vegan and healthy you need (today at least) to be in a privileged position (how

by rantwasp 5y ago
I got where you’re coming from but meat is one of the most nutrients packed food you can eat. Also, evolutionary people did not become the top of the food chain by eating plants. Yes, it’s terrible how animals are being treated and yes mass
