  • The first rule of encryption is that the password need to be secret, not the algorithm. (not mine, but I cannot readily find the source, sorry :-( )

    A truly good encryption algorithm is safe even if I give you the source code for it but not the password I used to encrypt the data.

  • Up to a certain point only. In most places you cannot hope to be able to sell a car that has not a minimum set of features mandated by the law.

    And Apple cannot hope to compel states to change the rules just because so they can sell their car.

  • I’ll get back to you on that, but just to be clear transphobia on a medical level is more about gaslighting trans people and / or denying them the treatment they need.

    Wait, if a doctor refuse a legitimate treatment to a person he must be banned from the profession. That the person who had the treatment refused is a trans is completely irrelevant.

    The doctor in question could also campaign against allowing trans rights, spread misinformation

    I think that what a doctor does in its free time is somewhat irrelevant as long as it do not interfere with his job, but I see your point.

    or personally deny them a referral to get the treatment they need.

    Then this doctor is a danger to everyone, trans or not, and need to be banned from the profession.

    Wait times for trans-specific procedures can be astronomical compared to other procedures in the same country. Think years in wait time.

    If the trans-specific procedures is a life-saving one, then it is wrong on so many level, else maybe it is just a problem of resource allocation.

    All of that said, I am not trans myself, so I’m not the right person to ask. It’s best to ask trans people themselves about their experiences in the healthcare industry, but they have unique challenges.

    Me neither, I simply think that a trans is just another human being, just with a different set of problems, and must be treated this way. As long as trans don't try to impose me their ideas I simply think live and let live.

  • I doubt they can. Once they learn about something infringing, they have to remove the link “expeditiously”. A proper DMCA notification is not even strictly necessary. Even so, the DMCA specifies what information a proper notification should contain. An email address is sufficient ID. ->DMCA

    The point would be to ask that data before you could make a DMCA notification, but I agree that you could not fix this way a bad written law.

  • If a trans person is discriminated against by their doctor, then having a mechanism to warn other trans people away from that doctor so they don’t waste their time or go through unpleasant experiences would be useful.

    Ok, I will be brutally explicit: this person think having been mistreated because he is a biological male thinking to be a woman and the doctor said that he cannot menstruate (or flipping the sides she is a biological woman thinking to be a man and was said she cannot have prostate cancer) or because the doctor mistreated him since the doctor is an asshole and/or did big and clear medical mistakes ?

    Because I imagine that you understand that in the first case, the problem is not the doctor saying a truth while in the second case the doctor should be banned from the profession in any case because this doctor is a danger to everyone not only your trans relative.

    To be honest we should probably have a way of publicly rating medical professionals in general, regardless of whether you are trans or not,

    Here I agree 1000% with you, a bad doctor is a bad doctor irregardless who the patient is.

  • A trans relative of mine has been mistreated by specific doctors, and being able to signal to others to stay away from these person could really help others.

    I am sure that you understand that this sentence without any additional context means nothing.

  • It’s a reporting system used by the community.

    You know what ? I have absolutely no faith in the community when these arguments are discussed. I've seen too many often people labelled as "transphobic" or "nazist" by someone just because they were not agreeing with something or had different ideas.

  • Why not blame the companies ? After all they are the ones that are doing it, not the boomer politicians.

    And in the long term they are the ones that risk to be "punished", just imagine people getting tired of this shit and starting to block them at a firewall level...

  • Stop saying it’s going to be a problem, there’s zero evidence that it will be. iMessage is dead in the water.

    Ok, I understant that. I am not saying that iMessage will be a problem, I am saying that if it will be ever become a problem, then you are will be in a rush to fix it when you could have simply prevented it.

    Additionally, this law is restricting large chat apps that can dictate the market. iMessage can’t do that. It makes no sense to cover them here.

    The law should apply to all chat apps in my opinion.

  • Only way I’m using most shopping sites is if I know they’re trustworthy and if they support PayPal or one of the major payment processors. I’m not going to type my CC number into a random website and trust that they aren’t hacked.

    Virtual CC for the win ;-)

  • Amazon isn’t as cheap as they used to be, but still competitive with places like Walmart and a far greater selection and stock. They’re definitely cheaper than locally owned places, I’ve tried to shop local, but the best I’ve seen is still like double what Amazon or Walmart has it for

    Not always true. here Amazon is no longer competitive with the various DIY stores, from a price perspective, and often with other on line shops.

    Also, I get the promised shipping time I’d say about 90% of the time even for same day items

    Which is now, at least here, the only one selling point.

  • You see what I’m getting at here? It understood nothing! Sure, you can explain the rules to a human and they’d be able to start learning how to play, but the real learning is learning the hand eye coordination to get the ball to do anything you want.

    Ok, but that another thing and still it is not to master the game.

    I really doubt that the "AI" know nothing at the beginning, it can not know the rules but it needed to know what goal should be else, why the goal could not be to put the ball in the furthest hole from your starting position ? Or in every hole ? Or to go to every possible position that is not a hole ? For all what the "AI" know, these could be more rewarding ends, don't you think ?

    Ha! It’s clear you’ve never played this game.

    I am from a generation where this were the only games... aside trying to die out in the trees trying to do stupid things with the friends... I think I still should have one in the attic...

    Even if you could get your first win in 6 hours, you wouldn’t then be able to repeat the win every time thereafter.

    Just because I, like every other human, have not the precise control and microseconds reflex of a computer. Give this AI the same level of imperfect control and reaction times of a human and it will be the same. First win in six hours and no guarantee that the folliwing one would be faster.

    How are you not impressed?

    Maybe because my first exam back at the university was to write a program that play Go against a human in Pascal (damn, how the hell I was able to pass that exam...) and the secod one was to write a program to colour a graphs so that two connected nodes were not of the same color in Assembler (Mips) in the same time the AI used to "beat" the game, starting from scrath.

    I mean, it is a nice result but if, as it seems, you give the AI a different board and the AI is not able to beat it at the first try, then you simply used a neural network to brute force a problem in a game where the whole idea is to have a precise control of the board you are using.
