its me, the one it guy responsible for carryig apache struts + ibm into the second decade of the 21st millennium

I'm definitely the guy at fault, pay no attention to the managers and executives who probably never approved budget requests or took security posture seriously in the headwind of user complaints

trolley problem for managers: the trolley is running over a steady stream of pennies while hurtling toward millions of people. at any point you could pour a bucket full of pennies into a coin-operated lever to make the trolley change to a track where there are no people and fewer pennies.

There's special hashing algos for images that take this kind of stuff into account. Also cropping and mirroring etc.

apparently just turning the image to grayscale, scaling the image to some small size, like 16x16 and turning it into a bitstream by storing a 1 if the next pixel is brighter and 0 if the pixel is darker is shockingly effective at detecting dupes

counter hot take: the original, better, design was overruled by a manager who didn't like some ui element, and will never face any consequences.
