Sure no company can completely defend me from my govt but atleast they can not build tools that make it easier. Also while it could be easy for a college graduate to build such a system, only Apple has the capability of rolling out this sys

Do keep in mind that atleast one govt has successfully preassured apple to give up on its privacy Also the difference here compared to the scenarios you've mentioned above is that Apple has walked pretty far. All it would take is to ma

The problem with client side verification is it dosent take much have the system look at all local files for verification, not just the files being uploaded to iCloud. Now that Apple has some form of client side verification, an authoritari

When I first encountered SQL i hated it as a language. But then the more I understood the working of RDBMS the more I appreciated its use cases. ETL is probably best handled by the DB if you don't want to get down into optimising the E

I guess if the tractor is going to last for a long time, renting it wouldn't make sense for the long term for the farmer ? At some point the total rent paid would exceed the cost of the tractor. But yeah it makes sense for short term

I stayed in one of those integrated school/coaching centers. It was miserable. The sole purpose of the place was make us learn as much as possible for engineering exams in those 2 years and nothing else. Luckily I had some good teacher

Do we know why the blood glucose gets too high? From what I understand our cells reduce the number of insulin receptors which leads them to absorb less glucose and hence lead to increased blood glucose. But the reason for this insulin resis

Another benifit of right to repair is increasing the lifespan of electronic devices by making sure that people can buy the necessary parts and blueprints to fix their device. While something like this is much better to reduce our e waste, i

All programming though ? That's a stretch. Like I'm pretty sure there are domains where correctness of programs is paramount

by rdedev 5y ago
If the programmer dosent have the requisite knowledge to verify the code it's hard to know if the generated results are correct. Compare this to copy pasting solutions from stackoverflow. Atleast there you get a pretty good idea of the

The difference is that a doctor can try to explain his findings and collaborate with others. This includes not just looking at the scan data but also reading other test results and patient history. ML is not capable of this as far as I know

The place where I feel ML can help is finding out new disease markers or help upscale the quality of a scan (something I believe Facebook is looking at)

I don't understand why universities can't give a certain weightage to some specialized examinations. Like some international Olympiad for CS. We already have something like this if you are a KVPY scholar. But all universities only

As I said in the next sentence, apple is going to make sure that no app Store looks like theirs. It's pretty easy to do it too. Make sure app stores are only available to install from the Apple app Store. That way apple can look for an

Most messaging apps are centralized. Some form of server side checking can be easily added to make sure the client is legit and not tampered with. Same form of checking thing if it's P2P but it would be very cumbersome. Now it is possi

I don't get this argument. How can an alternative app Store affect the quality of the Apple app Store ? The alternate app Store is not gonna come installed by default. No one is gonna mistake the alternative app Store for the apple one
