Differential privacy, translated from Apple-speak, is the statistical science of trying to learn as much as possible about a group while learning as little as possible about any individual in it. With differential privacy, Apple can collect and store its users’ data in a format that lets it glean useful notions about what people do, say, like and want. But it can’t extract anything about a single, specific one of those people that might represent a privacy violation. And neither, in theory, could hackers or intelligence agencies.

“With a large dataset that consists of records of individuals, you might like to run a machine learning algorithm to derive statistical insights from the database as a whole, but you want to prevent some outside observer or attacker from learning anything specific about some [individual] in the data set,” says Aaron Roth, a University of Pennsylvania computer science professor whom Apple’s Federighi named in his keynote as having “written the book” on differential privacy. (That book, co-written with Microsoft researcher Cynthia Dwork, is the Algorithmic Foundations of Differential Privacy [PDF].) “Differential privacy lets you gain insights from large datasets, but with a mathematical proof that no one can learn about a single individual.”

As Roth notes when he refers to a “mathematical proof,” differential privacy doesn’t merely try to obfuscate or “anonymize” users’ data. That anonymization approach, he argues, tends to fail. In 2007, for instance, Netflix released a large collection of its viewers’ film ratings as part of a competition to optimize its recommendations, removing people’s names and other identifying details and publishing only their Netflix ratings. But researchers soon cross-referenced the Netflix data with public review data on IMDB to match up similar patterns of recommendations between the sites and add names back into Netflix’s supposedly anonymous database.

the notification center is now only notifications and you access those dumbass widgets by swiping left from home screen

having widgets left of the first home screen seems far more useful than the search/siri suggestions thing there

the animations when opening/closing apps and opening folders is different and jarring.

i think that's how it is now. two tabs, "notifications" and "today".

PleasureKevin posted:

this is initially how i thought they'd do it like 2 years ago. you can already pull down on the home screen for search so seemed redundant.

it looks much better actually and less jarring. the effect is sort of like the app is running in the icon

Nice thing is the music center on the control center has it's own tab now and there's a hot button to just continue with whatever app you were using last which is nice for when i plug it into my car since it never seems to be able to just pull up spotify and pick up where I left off when i plugged it in on ios9.

there was previously two tabs when you pulled down the notification shade {Today, Notifications} and the today tab had all the widgets. That's gone. You pull down the notification shade and it's just notifications. You get to the widgets on the homescreen only now, and you don't have to keep the top widget there anymore.

so i have to unlock my phone to check the temperature or my current commute time? cool. great improvement

YA BOY ETHAN COUCH posted:

no it's available on the lockscreen too, you swipe to the left and it's the same layout of widgets


sweet thing is the google maps travel time widget is mad ownage and you can see how long your commute it is to whatever locations you set and it updates when you view the widget. it's way better than the default apple one

Endless Mike posted:

just for clarification, when you say "swipe to the left" you mean you're swiping from the left to the right, correct?

the stupid moving the clock thing is dumb as hell but i guess since some idiot decided the widget frames should look exactly the same as the notification frames they need to make sure you understand you're looking at widgets and not your notifications
