DAalseth said: It can and will be used by governments to crack down on dissent. It’s not an if but a when. It will produce false positives, it’s not an if but a when. Apple’s privacy safeguards are a fig-leaf that will be ripped off by the first government that wants to.

Governments that want to crack down on dissent will still do so regardless of whether Apple has CSAM hash scanning or not. They have the money to hire programmers just like Apple does. 

But they don't have the power to put any of that programming work on EVERY IPHONE IN THEIR COUNTRY.

You can't tell me that the hash for this image won't be added to the database that is used for phones in China?

Honest question:   What does something like 1password offer me above what I get for free with the keychain IF I don’t care about cross platform (meaning outside of Apple) use?  I don’t care about android or windows. 

I’m happily just using KeyChain which covers me on macOS, iOS, iPad, etc. 

This. 

Is there any real advantage in using a dedicated password manager over the one that’s built-in?

If you have independent password stores for:

- You (Private)
- Spouse (Private)
- Kid 1 (Private)
- Kid 2 (Private)
- Kid 1 Shared with Parents (eg, school accounts)
- Kid 2 Shared with Parents (eg, school accounts)
- Shared with Spouse (eg, utility/bank accounts, etc)
- Shared with Spouse, Kid 1, Kid 2 (eg, Disney+, Netflix, etc)
- Your Parents (also shared with your siblings) (eg, utility accounts, airlines)
- Your Spouse's Parents (also shared with spouse's siblings) (eg, utility accounts, airlines)

Then, yes, absolutely.

I was surprised by the language and adult content, because I didn’t see any warnings or alerts about it.

You mean other than the "TV-MA | Language" that appears in the upper left before every episode?

Retelling Imran's story, PPT style, for clarity:

• in 1995, while interning at apple, i bought a NeXT cube for $150 at stanford surplus
• while designing mac os X with steve, he liked to tell us how the NeXT was better
• so i started bringing in my cube to win arguments by showing him that things weren't as good as he remembered
• this happened so often that it got to the point where if he walked in and saw the cube in the room, he'd just let it go
• still the best $150 i've spent

The quoted tweet is the second of 2. The first is:

in 1995, while interning at apple, i bought a NeXT cube for $150 at stanford surplus while designing mac os X with steve, he liked to tell us how the NeXT was better so i started bringing in my cube to win arguments by showing him that things weren't as good as he remembered

Now the article actually makes sense.
