Many adult performers started using OnlyFans because it allowed them to refer their own non-adult social media following (i.e. IG/TikTok/Twitter/Reddit) to an adult friendly platform that didn’t take an insane cut.

What most people don’t realize is that traditional cam platforms like LiveJasmin and Streamate allocate a 30% cut for themselves and a 30% cut for the referring affiliate, typically a porn site. The remaining 40% is allocated to the model - 30% if the model uses a studio.

Another unspoken player is the credit card processor who typically captures 10% of the revenue for “risk”.
Yes a 3x increase would be transformative for general aviation. A lot cheaper to operate. Similar range. Probably will start happening in the next five years. Current models are a bit limited for range. But that should be a solvable problem.

That's exactly what I was getting at. If they're following the catch-all employment laws and not causing big problems specific to their type of business why would anyone care enough to give them special regulatory attention?
A few minutes.

It's not heavily IO-bound — it's mostly memory-bound (it's a type-checking tool for very large codebases).

Further (painful) optimisations will likely involve the use of arenas to prevent so many atomic de-allocations.

The most shocking thing here is not the actions of that shady online store, but those of Citibank. The internet is full of assholes and cheaters. But Citibank should take better care of their customers. She should sue Citibank in small claims court and get her money back from there. Once the banks start losing money over this they will quickly yank the merchant accounts of the shady online shop and that will be that.

Also, while police do not care much about tales of repeated phone calls and harassment, they do care about counterfeiting (because congress makes them care). So she should report those guys to whichever FBI department deals with counterfeiting, and they might find themselves quickly in jail.

Lost in the fuss over this is the fact that ICE (Immigration & Customs Enforcement) did in fact get a warrant for these and previous domain seizures. Of course, ICE brought this paranoia on themselves, since their scary graphic doesn't include copies of the warrants, details of which courts issued them, or information about the procedure they went through to get them.

But the only person they have to notify is the registrant; and the standards for proof of service (of the warrant) in foreign domains is lower than that within the US. I'm not sure the owner of torrent-finder.com is necessarily an honest reporter - the court may not have provided him with any notice, though I find it hard to believe he's never ever received a complaint or warning of any kind that might tip him off to such an eventuality.

Incidentally, considering that all his contact details are still available via goDaddy's whois, it's a bit depressing that none of the media outlets reporting this so breathlessly have spent the $1 or so it would cost to call him up for a quote. And we wonder why the investigative reporting business is in such a poor state.
Well, tech's new darling is Slack, so I would definitely give them a try. If you're using any part of the Atlassian stack I would look at HipChat as well.
From the sidelines it is apparent that Apple uses apps (free ones or cheap ones) to entice consumers with the idea of purchasing one device and having access to free* compatible software. Similar to when you purchase a video game console that is bundled with other games. Apple can sit on the sidelines while developers create applications that cater to consumers ever changing needs. Apple's job is to sell their products and communicate to the market that each device comes bundled or has access to great free* applications. It is a great strategy that allows them to position their hardware as forward thinking.

Why would they change their position to promote higher cost applications? I don't see any reason, as this would change how consumers perceive their devices. Would the average iOS user want to purchase every application on their device or pay a higher cost then today?

I firmly believe that iOS devices have been successful because of the wide range of applications created in the app store.

For most people, though, isn't living in that expensive environment a significant boost to their ability to earn at a level required to achieve that net worth? Not just San Fran, but any urban environment as opposed to, say, a rural environment.

This suggests possibly massive disruption in wealth structure once augmented reality puts remote interaction on par with local interaction. If your day-to-day expenses are significantly more decoupled from your income how will spending patterns in the top 5% change? Would luxury spending increase, or perhaps individuals would be able to invest more and retire earlier?

Squarespace can be a good alternative to WordPress. Both have the potential to help you create beautiful and powerful websites. Though WordPress is more flexible & customizable especially with plugins. I've just downloaded a cool WP theme for my website - https://www.templatemonster.com/wordpress-themes/monstroid2.... . It's a multipurpose theme that can be used for creating any website you need.

Incognito mode includes the following text on the new tab screen:

> Now you can browse privately, and other people who use this device won't see your activity. However, downloads and bookmarks will be saved.

> Chrome won't save the following information: Your browsing history, Cookies and site data, Information entered in forms

> Your activity might still be visible to: Websites you visit, Your employer or school, Your internet service provider.

I'm normally a pretty pro-digital privacy person, because I believe the odds are stacked against average consumers to an unimaginable degree. That said, I don't believe incognito mode is misleading about what it achieves. I think it's pretty upfront about what it does and what it doesn't do.
If someone's going to offer me $150,000 to do a job, I'm going to find it much easier than if I'm only offered $75,000.

Your last paragraph is exactly right: the problem is that it's doubtful that Incognito mode actually produces burner identities. If all Incognito does is create a temporary cookie jar, there are plenty of other ways to fingerprint a browser that would persist across Incognito sessions. The average user almost certainly doesn't realize that, and Google absolutely benefits from keeping up the pretense of privacy in Incognito.

Most hardware device vendors write Windows drivers and test them. Since they built the hardware, the vendor driver developers are privy to all the internals. Windows also has a stable ABI for drivers.

Hardware device vendors don't always write or maintain Linux drivers there's no stable driver ABI for binary drivers to be built and distributed for Linux. Instead, vendors are encouraged to write drivers that follow the conventions of the Linux kernel with no hardware abstraction layers and submit them for inclusion in the upstream Linux kernel under the GPLv2. Not every vendor is willing to do that (NVIDIA for example), but some do (AMD, Intel).

OPA takes a whole different approach. They basically have a specific language and a corresponding interpreter. The previous version of Keto was based off of OPA. We discovered that it is not suitable for our needs and what we want to offer because it can be very hard to meet certain performance goals (e.g. https://github.com/ory/keto/issues/104)

Taking this simple approach allows us to provide a global, low latency, and consistent authorization system.

This is the problem with this form of healthcare. First we insist on socializing these costs then the socialization of costs is used as justification for meddling in the details of other people's lives.

"Why not just read their code?"

I agree. Unfortunately I think interview processes are designed to accommodate the majority of applicants - and in the corporate/enterprise world, the majority of applicants have zero open source work.

I think/hope this will change over time.
I agree. One of the biggest sources of errors for me is copy-pasting multiple lines of code and then failing to adjust some of the variables or numbers. If I do that it's guaranteed that I lose 2-3 times 15 minutes a day because of stupid bugs.

Don't be too smart, don't copy paste more than a word. The time it takes for typing is well worth the reduced error rate. Don't let your laziness get the better of you. Don't create circumstances that allow you to make additional errors.
Also don't forget that Android OEMs must pay Microsoft for the privilege of using that OS, so I'm not sure what Linux has won here.
A corollary might be that one constraint to be optimized for is how much maintenance is required. That is:

* A positive amount of resources should be allocated towards deciding what to do when the disk becomes full, when memory runs out, etc., and it should be automated.
* When deciding between two ways to solve a problem, one factor in that decision should be whether it injects a dependency into some other process / function.

IMHO (unfortunately) in tech the skills that allow you to succeed in a job are different than the skills that allow you to get hired for a job. This is a generalization, but I think that is what happens in most places.

@patio11 has written a bit about this: https://twitter.com/patio11/status/1086379271415713792
@tqbf and Erin Patek https://sockpuppet.org/blog/2015/03/06/the-hiring-post/

I think this leads to a lot of false negatives when interviewing. but if you are applying you obviously want to increase your chances of succeeding so, you have to know how to 'play the game'.

My recommendation to you would be:
1. spend a lot of time preparing for these tech interviews. Study how they are structured. There is a lot of material online (blog posts) as well as books documenting what it takes to succeed.
2. there are some people that do paid courses on "how to interview at FAANG style companies". they may be worth depending on the upside. Note that not all companies have those types of interviews but if you are aiming for them it makes sense to prepare the best you can.
To do that the attacker would need to connect to hundreds (thousands?) of Powerwalls at the same time and figure out the password for each of them. Which means being close enough to each of them to access the Wifi and also figuring out their serial number somehow. How would they do that?
I know that argument, but the more there are markets dependent on meat production (like pets food), the more meat production will be hard to reduce

It's like saying "I just give my throwaway to my dogs", this means you'll more or less consciously get more food because you know you need enough throwaway

Or it's also somewhat like saying, "I bought this mango at the supermarket, which came in plane, from another continent. But what am I doing wrong? if I don't buy it, it'll be discarded/wasted". Similar reasoning, the idea is to cut down the downstream demand so we're able to cut down the upstream one

> that would otherwise simply be thrown away, with a great deal of pollution involved.

That's not necessarily true, there may some efficient ways to compost/bury/recycle organic material, I don't know how precisely for this case. But compared to the amount of energy for making and transporting dog food to each final consumer? The latter is certainly more polluting

> Reduction in meat consumption has to come from humans, because we actually have a choice

Yes, right, well the vast majority people have the choice to not have pets, for those who need a companion, they can try with a plant, it's less talkative but not less sensible
Absolutely worth watching. Great video @spudlyo - thank you for a great content.
I don't think that KDB does, either?
MY understanding of this in KDB, and I could be wrong (I'm not an expert) is that in KDB you can write to the tickerplant database. Those clients subscribing to the realtime will see this in realtime, and then eventually it will get asynchronously written to another DB which allows querying.
I guess you'd think of it as eventual consistency.
(Please correct me if I'm incorrect/misunderstood the above)
That's standard behaviour in every analytics database that talks to kafka that I can think of. Kafka doesn't really encourage ACK/NACK type processing patterns. Accepting an event usually means the consumer has successfully read it and staged it for whatever is meant to happen next, not that the operation is completed.

Now if it were possible for it to accept an event from Kafka but not guarantee that the event will eventually make it into the materialized view but may be lost, that'd be a problem.
Sounds like a fantastic way to create more invasive species of plants that will displace native species.

They introduced gorse to New Zealand as it was good for creating hedges on farms. It's an horrifically invasive plant that's incredibly difficult to get rid of. It's fast growing, with hardy seeds that can lie dormant for 50 years. You clear it out and it just keeps growing back.

It covers 5% of the country, growing practically everywhere outside alpine conditions, and strangles out other species, especially in areas cleared of native forestry. Animals won't eat it because it's spiky, so it needs to be either burned, bulldozed, or cleared with herbicide.

I'm curious to know how they plan to compensate for the failure rate of startups.

If half of the portfolio fails (a good outcome), the cashout option would need to be 2x the original investment for them to break even. More if failing companies are likely to use up the entire line-of-credit and successful companies are not.

Setting the payout to be a percent of revenue might work, but could also kill a company with thin margins. Setting it to be a percent of profit will encourage companies to post zero profits. I'm not sure what the other options are.

Learn about positioning (market segmentation, differentiation). Think about what clients want, resp. what your ideal client would see as ideal service. Do they care about how good/pretty your designs are? Or maybe do they care about making money? They care about achieving a goal with that design - getting more users, building their trust, converting them, ... Do they know how to achieve all that? Probably not. How do you help them with it? What are they afraid of? (missing deadlines, overspending, lack of visibility into what you're doing, having to handhold you too much). How do you overcome that? How do you communicate it? Network. Find your ideal clients. Approach them. Read comments of HN users such as patio11. Check out what Ramit Sethi has to say (and many others).

>Really? I disagree. There even exist situations (in the case of some positions) where you will be talking to a client of the company you're working for, effectively interviewing with the client, representing the company. And interviewing is a subset of "sales", which is important for working on many teams -- including selling management on changes that would improve the user experience, for example.

If you are using the same interview process for technical folks and for sales folks, you are doing it wrong. (I mean, unless your technical folks are also sales folks, in which case, whoo boy. people who are good at both exist? but they are in high demand, and they are rare to begin with, so... good luck with that.)
wait, which one is which?
Nick. Please. It doesn't do this thing you keep claiming it does, because you left out any mechanism for the client to verify the code the server sends. You keep implying, directly and indirectly, that clients can do this by hand. People keep telling you, no they can't. When I give a specific and unintuitive reason why people can't manually verify your code in a browser, you throw out a smokescreen about how Javascript is a fine language to write things in, which of course has nothing to do with the issue at hand.

(By the way, thing you don't want to hear from the guy offering you super-secure communication system? "You have a superstitious paranoia about Javascript".)

And, as Steve Weis took the time to point out, even if you had invented some new system by which browsers could verify the state of a Javascript interpreter fed by an app that, among other things, had until a few hours ago a bunch of obvious Javascript injection flaws, you still wouldn't have been secure, because you don't really understand how CTR mode works and implemented colliding nonces. (Why did you bother with CTR mode anyways?) You also don't seem to understand the relation between encryption and authentication; not having a MAC would just be an embarassing oversight if you hadn't then argued with Weis about why it wasn't necessary.

The security model behind this application is just a really bad idea, Nick. I know that's tough to hear, since you obviously put some time and effort into it, but you're going to need to zag instead of zig now and come up with something cool about this chat system other than the notion that it's somehow more secure than Campfire or any other https chat.
