We’ve tested it on millions of legal PDFs and it works very well at huge scale."

"Ok. Now had a chance to check and, well, at least some docs do appear to be straight up classic redaction fail. And there are some *interesting* bits here."
[Masnick posted two images, on left a document has heavily blacked-out text but with some highlight selected text, on right same text but all visible. He's copy-pasting poorly redacted text!]

"The Justice Department redacted the names and identifiers of victims. Fox News Digital has learned that the same redaction standards were applied to politically exposed individuals and government officials.
As others have noted, these redactions appear to be blatantly illegal (assuming Fox News' report is correct)."

"Gonna stop looking at the Epstein Files in a second because I'm frankly way too skeeved out to keep going but I will say this: the CSAM isn't blacked out nearly enough while the faces of guys in ties are obscured by vanta black rectangles the size of the sun."

"You may realize that nightmarish visa requirements are bad for US tourism …
… but you may not realize that most visa policies are reciprocal. The harder for foreigners to visit America, the harder for Americans to visit other countries.
This doubles as a trap that prevents Americans from leaving."
And the funny thing is, thinking about "working hard" affecting your circumstances. There are maybe two people (in these circles) I can think of who have worked anything CLOSE to as hard or struggled as much as I have over the past 35 years.
AND! I don't think it's a coincidence that those are also the only two people who have offered me financial support when things were really bad!
Apropos!
