Someone might have poured all of their creativity to content on that platform and to loosely quote Jason Scott "this might be the largest audience this specific line of genes have/will ever reach". Is that not worth preserving? Even if it just takes a thumb drive worth of space? Even if the content sucks, it still part of our history as a species. Think of some of the old works/diaries/letters that are now thought to hold value. Like I've been lately reading "letter from Seneca". Why are they any more worthy of preservation than something on SoundCloud?

Sorry, please define what you see the problem as. Is there any evidence for this problem, for example in medical journals?
Are you talking about developers? Currently the market is in favour of employees, as there is more demand for them than supply, at least that is my feeling based on constantly being harassed by head hunters trying to desperately fill positions and not even having luck by recruiting people from all around the world.

If a company can afford to treat its employees like "garbage" then they will and that is the exact point that when the market is in favour of employees, they shouldn't be shy to treat their employer with the same scrutiny. Demand every penny you can get and if they are not willing to give you what you can get elsewhere, then be prepared to just go, because as you said very well, if the company would have that advantage they would do it as well.
In that case you can be disappointed that your business can't do right by the employees you lose while at the same time being happy for those people for finding new places of employment that can pay them what they are worth.

A remote fart engineering position!

Great! I've been looking for a remote position for ages. The on-site work has taken a toll.
I lift 4 days per week (Chest, Arms/Back, and Legs twice). I'm a girl, so I'm trying to build that instagram booty. Basically 3 sets of 12 reps, to failure. Once I can do 12, I increase the weight.

Chest: Incline bench, bench, pectoral flys, shoulder press, lateral raises, tricep dips, crunches, leg raises.

Legs: Squats, leg press, leg extensions, leg curls, romanian deadlifts, calves

Back: Barbell rows, cable rows, lat pulldowns, barbell curls, biceps machine, abs machine, leg raises.

Diet-wise, I eat 1800 cals: 189g protein, 160g carbs, 35g fat. Basically I eat the same thing every day, which is a lot of chicken, veges, and protein shakes. I do HIIT 2-3 times per week on rest days in between lifting.

My goal is to get to 19% body fat. I'm at around 22% now so still some way to go. Pretty jealous of guys and your testosterone. I need some more of that for my measly bench press :(
> It takes a level of emotional intelligence to communicate in a way which gets to the core of the issue while not making the other person feel bad about it.

Hmm, seems more like you just have to assume that people aren't stupid, and there's a reason they believe the things they do. Until you understand that reason, you just have to keep saying you're confused and ask questions to further clarify.

Once the reason(s) is highlighted, sometimes it's well justified, sometimes it isn't, but at least the core issue can now be addressed.
They probably know already most of their readers are in the science camp, so it's just catering to their base. Plus, as the other poster pointed out, it's a way to show independence from their owners. (Conde Nast likely just happy they're able to profit from both sides)
The most bonkers thing about the "EU cookie law" is that it could have been much more effectively implemented by simply requiring browser makers to get informed consent on cookies.

This would have been both more effective (because rogue websites wouldn't have been able to avoid it) and less annoying for users, because consent could be given using a consistent UI for every website. Not to mention the many hours of lost/wasted productivity caused by requiring websites to implement the same dumb cookie consent UI over and over again.

Much like the EU's failed air pollution rules, while there's a grain of good intent behind them, the actual implementation is just broken and pointless, and does more harm than good.
some young people don't realize that some fairly disgusting and extreme sex acts are not the norm and start dating thinking that is what you do instead of loving someone

Banning porn doesn't even begin to address that problem. People talk. They boast about what they do, and the more naive people go ahead and do those things too because they believe that's what they should be doing. That's true in everything, not just sex. The answer is to educate people to make their own decisions, and have the understanding, knowledge and empowerment to know they can say no if they don't want to do a particular thing.

Extreme sex acts existed before the internet. Hiding it won't make it go away. "Security through obscurity" doesn't work.
Parents can buy internet filtering software such as Net Nanny and install it on all the family computers.

That does leave open the possibility that some children would be exposed to "extreme sex acts", and this would probably disproportionately affect the poor.

The government providing free voluntary filtering software would probably irk people less than the government policing morals.
Funny enough, when I was younger I worked in the game and simulation industry, at the time, we where working on a game that was pretty popular. Anyways, one of the devs comes running in the audio guys office and yells dude turn on the mic, he then proceeds to fart into the mic. The audio guy then stretches it out so it's got this long weird sound to it, we all laugh then a few days later I compile and am running thru a level, pick up a blaster pull the trigger and hear that sound. About that time, the audio guy comes over and is like WTF is going on in here, because I am laughing (loud) uncontrollably (his office was right next to mine), and he was like oh I see you fired the blaster. It made it thru to production as all the execs loved it, the three of us would just giggle every time the game was demoed. Just wanted you to know that your skill may actually be valued.

Adoption has not been the fastest that is true. There are shops that start also supporting QR codes through Lydia, however the process is nowhere near convenient as NFC as you have to unlock your phone, launch the Lydia app, unlock it, then type the amount and that is when you finally get to the QR code. I suppose Android phones in China have the payment somehow integrated into the lock screen ?

Edit: just wanted to add that many vending machines also do support NFC payments.
I read the statement as the US system - both at the state and the federal levels - is working the way it was designed to work. Given its growth - in both population and territory - since its founding, that it is still in existence with the same constitution is no small feat.
Without full accounting of other changes made in your life during this time it is very difficult to attribute the improvement to snake oil supplements.

when you are trying to correct a problem with your health you need to honestly journal your activities to include everything you consume. changes to where you live and work can have great effect to something as simple as how often you are in public.

with regards to supplements, many adults do not eat properly and there can be benefits with taking simple vitamin pills or fortified drinks to make up for it. the key is to change previous habits

Of course they always just blame the language. Like the language needs to be responsible for the implementation and its proper use.
So, going through the "missing pieces" list you provided earlier, the only thing that actually holds is probably just NGU. You can insist that it's a "deal breaker" for you, fine. But attacking others being disingenuous simply because they don't agree is probably too much.

This sounds like yet another solution that can be easily bypassed by the typical technically proficient teenager with raging hormones.

I recently read an article about how easy access to an almost unlimited amount of pornography is giving boys unrealistic sexual expectations and placing unreasonable demands on girls. I can't find the link to the article right now but from this and several others that I've read, this is a real problem. Issues like personal freedom, consent and others are all true. However, the typical website has a vested interest in making sure that it's offerings reach a large audience and I'm sure they're not beyond pushing the envelope a little to make that happen.

What is a solution?
People talk. They boast about what they do, and the more naive people go ahead and do those things too because they believe that's what they should be doing.

This happens to be why my company is using a NoSQL database in one of its new projects.
A car company says: "You can have any colour car you want as long as it is black..."

I am sure there will be people defending the car company as really offering unlimited colours, but obviously they have to restrict it to black, because some clients were unreasonable to expect the company to paint their car Neon Vermilion.

Or to put it another way, "You can have unlimited storage, except that it is limited..."
I think ars technica writes bad articles, but on a very wide range of subjects.
Very few of the writers seem to be have specialized insight into a particular area rather than a general engineer / nerd bent.
For me as a game developer, I find their game reviews to be the worst. Every now and again they will have one and they are always massively unbalanced. Just a regular guys unfiltered opinion, may as well go on any random message board and get hundreds of equally or more valid 'reviews'. They'll often pan a good game because they thought it was hard, you can hear their 'frustrated cus bad at vidya games' coming through in the article.
I think its obvious that one of the writers was playing the game anyway and decided 'hey I can milk an article out of this' .
Well, youporn is mostly free - is that considered "commercial"?
Thing is, do you really think teenagers will stop accessing porn? No; they'll just pirate it rather than access the free sites.

A solution that imposes costs but doesn't actually solve the problem is worse than doing nothing.

I disagree based on personal experience. I am currently a line manager who is a developer himself and manages 5 other developers and my salary is not the highest and I have absolutely no issue with that. One of the devs has been with the company for 8+ years, has knowledge of literally every corner of the software and has a great work attitude which adds a lot of value by helping other devs to become as productive as possible. This person earns a lot more than me and I have no issue with that, because as a line manager I am more afraid to lose this person than anything else.

EDIT: My main responsibility is to keep the team happy and productive. If this developer would leave the team our productivity would drop and we wouldn't achieve our goals we set for ourselves this year. It would have a direct impact on my bonus as well and it is in my highest interest to keep great people at every possible cost. If I think I don't earn enough then I will have that chat with my line manager, but I will never try to destroy my team based on some personal ego crap.
I hear you, but the lost wages when the change comes too suddenly can be worse for a lot of people. Being among the later to be let go gives you some time to prepare.
You know the saying: "you are not wrong, you are just an asshole".

I don't think OP is arguing that it's against ToS or anything like that. He is arguing that if people just upload stuff in these "unlimited" services all willy nilly soon they won't be unlimited anymore. The price will be the same, but they will drop the capacity to something reasonable. Which in turn might hurt some legitimate users.

I'm all for people backing up anything they feel like is necessary, but they just need to know that if they are going to be uploading Tera or even Peta bytes of data to "unlimited" service without paying much for it they are living on borrowed time.
I'd love to see a minimal example of

a) client and server that only use the WebRTC data connection for low latency UDP based communications

b) a p2p example for a group of clients using WebRTC data connection

I think it's clear that this is purely political. If the government truly had sexual health in mind then blatant sexualised advertising on the streets would be part of the conversation.
You're thinking scalability.

Maybe this will help stop young people from accidentally stumbling into XXX content, but it seems to me like it would be a push into darker corners of the web for those that are actively seeking it out.
You make some good points. But it is worth pointing out that if you sold a package of oatmeal at $20 each and labeled it a cure for IBS, we'd still call it snake oil. Eating healthy can solve a lot of health issues. Selling cheap healthy food as an expensive cure for a disease is taking advantage of someone else. That's my 2 cents.
I'll go ahead and state the obvious – it's because the vast majority of the files /r/Datahoarders is hoarding is illegal material that they don't want to get ToS'ed for.
And then you have the flip side of the coin, where you find a German couple who were so uneducated about sex that they'd been together for more than half a decade without having kids, went to the doctor for help... whereupon it was found that they never had sex. An extreme case, yes, but illustrative.

The norms of today might not be the best, but the norms of yesteryear were also pretty fucked-up. Age verification on sites is going to do squat in terms of changing young adult mindsets.

> The editors at GOOP find me “strangely confident” in my “assertion that putting a crystal in your vagina for pelvic-floor strengthening exercises would put you in danger of getting Toxic Shock Syndrome—even though there is no study/case/report which links the two.” I am not strangely confident about vaginal health, I am appropriately confident because I am the expert. I did 4 years of medical school, a 5 year OB/GYN residency, a 1 year fellowship in infectious diseases, I am board certified in OB/GYN in 2 countries, I am board certified by the American Board of Pain Medicine and the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation in Pain Medicine and I am appropriately styled Dr. Jen Gunter MD, FRCS(C), FACOG, DABPM, ABPM (pain). A woman with no medical training who tells women to walk around with a jade egg in their vaginas all day, a jade egg that they can recharge with the energy of the moon no less, is the strangely confident one.

> What astounds me the most is that GOOP and Gundry have targeted me. After all Stephen Colbert has mocked GOOP mercilessly several times. Gizmodo blasted GOOP over the fake NASA band aids. Tim Caulfield wrote an entire book Is Gwyneth Paltrow Wrong About Everything. Jezebel has taken GOOP to task. The Atlantic put up a blistering piece about Dr. Gundry’s lectin hypothesis and supplement selling. Vox coined the phrase GOOPshit. Quartz said GOOP is simply bespoke Infowars. A study took Paltrow to task for recipes involving unsafe food preparation. Why do I get under GOOPs dry brushed skin? I am not anymore right than anyone else who has taken on GOOP and Paltrow, although a reporter from the New York Times once called me a gift from the quote Gods so it is possible that I have a unique way of quickly summing up what is wrong with GOOP in a relatable way. It is also possible that they think I am an easy target because I am just a chick with a blog as opposed to a man with a blog or a reporter with a national or even international reach or a talk show host who can leverage writers, a PR team and an audience of millions. In short, is it because they think they can bully me?

edit: i should give give her a bit more credit than that. Dr Gunter is providing a valuable public service while exposing herself to online abuse + possible legal action from the snake-oil-vendors.

... some young people don't realize that some fairly disgusting and extreme sex acts are not the norm and start dating thinking that is what you do instead of loving someone, that would cause them serious issues in developing relationships."

To be fair, without porn lots of folks wouldn't know what was normal anyway - so it is easy to talk folks into something. All it takes is the more persuasive person to have these things in mind (and obviously folks do, considering this sort of porn isn't new to the internet). The same problem happens when discussing abusive relationships. Young folks don't know what normal and healthy contains.

The big thing that is missing in the US is comprehensive sex and relationship education. I don't see a problem with teaching kids about film making so they can understand that a porn shoot is set up to look good for the camera or be other-worldly. I don't see a problem telling young folks they can try some of the stuff out, with the caveat of respecting everyone's health and comfort while doing it. I don't mind telling folks it is OK to be into - or not into - something.

And to be fair, I'm not sure most folks do this stuff instead of loving someone, rather as part of the course of loving someone. I'm pretty sure my sex life with my spouse mirrors average porn more closely than the whole "making love" thing.
Nice guide. A little warning, while WebRTC is known as a p2p tech, what few people realize before starting using it is that while it is p2p technically, you need like 3 to 4 centralized servers to make a connection between two peers.
Just google TURN, STUN and ICE servers and protocols, you will also need a signaling server (usually your app) and a web server where the app is hosted. That's why most people use webrtc as a service solutions or all in one webrtc servers that are hard to customize/setup.
It's incredibly foolish to think you're only trusting mathematics.
