    The Technical Summary uses "visual derivative" without clarification, but their Threat Model PDF clarifies it further as thumbnails: >The decrypted vouchers allow Apple servers to …

    Yes I agree, bit of a stretch. Based on their whitepaper, it's a smaller version of the original image, I guess just large enough to support the human verification step. But I'm un…

    Presumably, it’s done this way so they can say computers other than your personal device do not scan photos and “look” at decrypted and potentially innocent photos. And technically…

    What word do you use when someone unrightfully gains possession of something that isn’t theirs? Btw a lot of words in English have multiple meanings, and transform meaning over tim…

    I would say, it doesn’t really fix npm. It has its own centralized npm repo, called deno land, and it’s own package.json, called deps.ts. Because it can accept any URL as a dep in …
