Even scarier - the search space for facial recognition is much, much smaller once one person in a group is identified. At a bar, a random group of people is not a random group of people once someone is identified. Instead of searching all of Washington, D.C., just search all their friends and their friends in the DC area.
Crimes should be reported to the police, not the public. A public report of a crime is a punishment (see the Biblical story of Cain, public markings for adultery in colonial New England, etc.).

The sex offender registry in the U.S. reports crimes to the public, and at best, it's nothing but a source of FUD ("Find the sex offenders on your block!"). At worst, it's a way of branding offenders for life, keeping them from holding even completely innocent jobs. Don't forget you can get put on the registry for something as trivial as urinating in public.

Give me any reason to believe this system will lead to a better end than the sex offender registry and I'll change my mind.

The popular sites are booked within minutes of opening up. [Thus the complaints about bots.] That said, many of these sites have a limited number of spots reserved for walk-ins. So, have a couple of back up options if you're going to try your luck at a popular site.

Sites that don't have electric or water hookups may be easier to get since they're less popular with RVs. And the folks with RVs are experts at campsite reservation.

That said, go off the beaten path. Less people make for a more enjoyable experience. Some of my best car camping experiences have been on the side of a forest service road, especially one accessible only with a high clearance 4x4.

Sites that are accessible only by foot, even a half a mile in, are usually not that crowded. But you'd have to backpack in everything you'd need for the stay.
> I don't think all forms of shame is induced by society and is party intrinsic of human sexual behavior. Most see intimacy as contrarian to overly public display and see it devalued by the perceived vulgarity.

I'm from a highly religious, Middle-Eastern culture. In the backwaters of this backwater, it's unthinkable for a male and female to even hold hands in public, let alone have a friendly greeting with a peck on the cheek.

Nobody would think even once about such acts in Western societies.

Now consider violence: people, in every culture, generally don't feel uncomfortable about depictions of violence in media.

Violence is presented as glamorous as soon as children are conscious of their environment. Through toys, comics, cartoons. But none of them dare to show even a kiss or a romantic relationship.

Why do you think that depictions of injury and death are considered more socially acceptable than the depictions of love and the act of creating life?

Can it not be reversed?

> Culture often was defined by the absence of anything sexual, since it was believed to adhere to higher forms of aesthetics instead of intrinsic sexual urges.

Imposing communal rules upon sexuality is more likely a form of control over mating rights:

By denying potential competitors' access to mates, we hope to increase ours. Almost all animals do this, we just codify it into our social constructs.

And this fact is very apparent when you consider that the ruling classes of cultures which repress sex, never really follow their own rules.
> "Overrun" is a very extreme word to use here? Are you trying to suggest "invasion"?

Well the car has about 1000 miles in the same time frame. A second (non electric) bike has about 1500 miles. More importantly I was seriously considering replacing the car (it is quite old) but with the cargo bike the car gets used so infrequently now it doesn't seem worth it. Plus if the car does go down we can replace it at a leisurely pace.

In fact Ben Gurion airport has one of the fastest and least unpleasent security screening I´ve seen, while being at the same time maybe the most secure.
Security people is very pleasent, even when they stop you for questioning, they do it fast and in a polite way. They are proffesionals that have to deal with daily and real threats.
The most unpleasent airport security is the TSA and then the British, and it depends largely on the guy you meet at the filter. After the 9/11 the german airport security were very strict for a couple of years, now they seem to be back to normal, stricter rules but not offensive searches and that.

Edit: I stand corrected the British security is mostly Heathrow. I flew from Edimburgh this April and the security was mostly the same as the rest of europe.
Also I have improved the wording a bit.

This. Why is everyone caring about share price? Look more at revenue and market growth. Xbox took over consoles, Bing is the only search engine to capture whole percenetage points of search from Google, and they still have an ungodly monopoly on enterprise software from office to visual studio.

Most public companies could give less of a crap about their share price after the IPO. What people trade shares for is really inconsequential as long as the company itself maintains 51% and stock market panics on them don't leak to their profit centers.
SOAP is really for client side programmers that can't figure out how to do an HTTP request and parse XML all by themselves. Also the sell is that you can use automation tools to generate your client side code for you, but I found that they do not all behave the same way when dealing with anything mildly complex (like an array of objects for example). Data streams are also a PITA to deal with in SOAP, there's really no good provision for it. So do yourself a favor and wash your hands of SOAP (ha ha!)

Somewhat on-topic, does anybody know of some decent and accurate pictures of what spacetime curvature actually looks like? No simplifications (other than suppressing dimensions), no analogies -- the real deal.

Let me describe more accurately what I'm interested in. At least one spatial dimension must be suppressed, maybe two. We're all familiar with the "trampoline" picture of general relativity, but I don't think this is accurate at all regarding the sort of curvature that actually occurs in general relativity. In particular, it's spacetime, not space, which is curved, and the trampoline picture almost invariably leaves that out.

Suppose space is one-dimensional. There's a great point-mass located somewhere on this line. In space-time, this line sweeps out a plane and the point-mass sweeps out a worldline trajectory along that plane. Now this plane must be curved according to general relativity. This curvature is something that should be fully visualizable by a human. What would it look like?

What if there were two great point-masses? Three? N, all equally spaced?
That's not equivalent to inline protocol implementation in both Clojure or ClojureScript. The point still stands, the proposal runs afoul of macro composition issues. This isn't to pass judgement on the proposal, but this is a tradeoff that is downplayed.
This looks really neat, and the documentation does seem nice.
What I would absolutely love (and I'm sure many others as well) is a tutorial that shows how to build a very simple app from scratch... like a list of records and then click on a record to bring up an edit form (something super basic, but a tad more complex than TodoMVC). The problem I have is wrapping my head around how I put all the pieces together.
Thanks!
I don't dispute this, but until its saturated it has to be counted as an alternative.
As far as I'm aware, HSR everywhere in the world is 4'8½", even where the local rail gauge isn't (i.e., Spain and Japan). Rail Baltica is similarly planning a 4'8½" line despite local rail being 5'.
Nice! I like how developed the software is. Hooking rgb matrices to esp32 is a simple project, but making it display something useful and have nice, documented API is the hardest part.
Even where the track gauge itself is the same, differing standards for wheel and flange dimensions (which in turn influence certain crucial dimensions of switches and crossings) still have the potential to throw a spanner in the works and prevent full cross-compatibility.

If the differences aren't too large, some sort of compromise wheel set might be possible – if that's not the case, then you'd still need to swap the wheels.
Textualism invariably turns out to be a shuck: people who claim to be textualists are textual only when they can find a way to make textualism produce the answer they wanted.

>> The more leverage you have as an individual, the less relevant a union is for you.

> If this was true, why are the highest paid and in-demand stars and directors in Hollywood all still dues paying members of their unions?

I am trying to parse these two statements and here is my thought. Being a union member can never hurt as long as dues are reasonable. You can always negotiate a better deal but at least you will get a baseline and really if acting is your career, you probably care about more than just total compensation.

Here is what I found on Google:

> To join SAG, a performer must pay an initiation fee plus the first semi-annual basic dues. The national initiation fee rate is currently $3,000 (initiation fees may be lower in some areas). Annual base dues are $201.96. In addition, work dues are calculated at 1.575 percent of covered earnings up to $500,000..

I don't know if this is up to date but assuming it is, 500000*1.575/100 + 201.96 is just over eight thousand dollars a year. Even at USD 10k a year, I think it is a good deal. If I were a highly paid on-screen talent, I would not want to stir a storm in a teacup over USD 10k if I was making over USD 500k a year. It simply wouldn't be worth my time.
I would base anything dealing with money on a double entry accounting system.

The issues that arise are then a question about how to translate them to journal entries, which will require accounting experience, and maybe your chart of accounts needs to be revised, but the core system should be fairly stable, and voiding an invoice by issuing a credit note comes automatically, as you’re working with an append-only ledger.

The issues about prepaid plans should also be handled, as payments for services not rendered yet should not be recognized as income, but instead kept as a liability: The OP mentions their system is used by 15,000 customers, so I would give each customer their own account (in the chart of accounts).

The main technical issue is what datatype to use for money, the rest are problems solved by following general accounting principles, though I fear that a lot of programmers out there are reinventing the wheel (in suboptimal ways).
Pornhub has already mostly fixed this problem by only allowing uploads from verified accounts. It won't 100% eliminate it, sure, but when the site has your real name, picture, ID etc. you will be much less likely to upload stuff that you aren't completely sure is legal and consensual.

Linux has a mirror on GitHub but they don’t use it for development.
Additionally a lot of non-tech people don't understand the cost implications of a DDoS.

If companies really want the media to get on board then create a figure for how many $/hour you're losing. Heck make a widget which counts upwards (e.g. we've lost $25,000 due to this DDoS since the start).

The downside is it might just encourage the DDoS-ers, the upside is the media might take it seriously.
I do all my work via Github and honestly haven't noticed a single burp in the service. Is anyone other than Github employees who have to deal with this even affected?
The downside is that after you make it work there is no incentive/glamor in getting back to clean-up. Thus, not enough people get to have the minimum knowledge to fix things risking whatever worked to stop working.

And the work has a bigger risk because you can't actually check on more than a couple of distributions before you ship.
You may want to consider starting an S-corp (mainly for the self-employment tax savings) to be used as the management company.

You can then create individual LLCs as you see fit.

Your S-corp will invoice the LLC's for a management fee; and you pay yourself out of the S-corp. Be sure to recognize the tax benefits of distributions from your S-corp.
>Internal corporate politics don't contradict the ideas of free markets.

I don't follow. Are you claiming that internally most big corporations could be considering free markets?

Low barriers to entry are pretty essential to free markets. High barriers discourage competition and encourage monopolies. See Microsoft, AT&T, Google.

"Free market" is a relative term, but it would be hard to describe the internal workings of most companies that way.

Indeed I did; it's precisely what I was replying to. No matter how good a person is, they will encounter moral dilemmas (or at least, there exist moral dilemmas that could be posed to them) with no good option. For any one of these situations you can say "OMG! I'm so indignant that they chose A" ... And the same for B.
