Hmm, I think it's more that the companies drive a view of "thinner" and "high resolution" as more fashionable, they laud it and advertise it. It's something they can use to "inform" consumers that what the people already own is now "deficient", they can advertise to show how much people would love and accept us if only we had a slight higher resolution, slightly slimmer phone ...

Once they've spent $100M convincing us that we'll be pariahs without their new items then people "want" those items.

If the companies advertised how we could save the planet if we bought more conscientiously and didn't throw away working electronics, etc., then all of a sudden people wouldn't "want" those other phones.

Your version only works if you can show advertising/media doesn't work.

So once they've convinced us to buy what they can make, to force us towards buying again every year, then they make sure it will break and be unrepairable and blame the consumer fashion - the very fashion they spent so much money creating.

Then people blame the consumer.
I don't think immortal is the right word here. You can still die from physical harm, no matter how many stem cells you consume. So in theory if someone abused the pee-ons for enough time, probably one of them would get mad enough to overthrow the power. Just like many revolutions throughout history.

I don't use iOS (just mpv on my laptop), but this is the sort of well-thought out design that modern software needs. A clear vision followed out through development into a product without sacrificing major features.
I agree with @erlend_sh. Patreon _does not_ have much in the way of a network. Its recommendations (if you like this, you'll like that) are typically awful. They're so bad in fact, that I suspect there's some sort of legal/liability constraint.

Right now Patreon is a remarkably dumb system with really high fees.

That there isn't a serious alternative already makes me suspect that this is isn't a really high profit site in the first place. It could be that dealing with the NSFW creators is really a bid to increase the profit of the site beyond some modest baseline.

Of course this pessimistic conclusion suggests the reason why there isn't a bitcoin-based competitor either. The legal issues and the fees are just too high to attract investment.

As root you could probably detect this but you'd really have to know what you were looking for.

I can think of two relatively easy and probably-not-secure (you were asking for freedom, not security...) ways to not only detect but also bypass this:

- Hook certificate verification APIs to always return true.

- Scan for certificates embedded in the binary and overwrite them dynamically. This will work if the app decides to use its own crypto but standard certificate formats.
Well then quote the whole bit:

> Take a stand behind your creators who make revolutionary independant content. Stand behind your women and LGBT creators.

In my reading they do always lead with the general call to stand behind vulnerable creators, before specifying some more affected groups:

> We know people who would be homeless if it wasn’t for making porn on Patreon – and it’s not a small number. We know people who now employ many queer performers, workers, subcontractors – all working to make beautiful content.

That is inclusive: There is no identity for whom being homeless would not suck, and they don't limit that sentence in any way.

Reality is also that if you are a porn director targeting a cis male audience you have other options than patreon to get work.

But seriously, I am fortunate to be cis male and heterosexual. Yet still active in a scene that is not represented in the mainstream (and where content creators are often targeted by credit card blocks). I had absolutely no problem reading that letter despite not getting a specific call out to my community in it. Because almost all of the authors there are not queer disabled gender-fluid people of color. They might be one of the above, or two. But they wrote a letter that gives shout outs to all these different dimensions that don't affect them directly. And it strikes me as a misreading that they intended this list of dimensions in which you can be out of the mainstream to be exhaustive.

I see zero evidence in this letter that the authors would consider an alternative independent cis male porn creator, who values the independence that patreon brings, not one of them. As somehow excluded from that call.

Queer-normative cis/hetero exclusionary behaviour exists, and I've seen it. In my reading this letter does not contain any.
Silicon Valley already has blood boys.
I'm completely ignorant about any iOS music player, having only every seriously used Android, but didn't the first iPhone have such a feature already? Such as showcased in the famous reveal video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vN4U5FqrOdQ&t=1084

Did it get removed?
It’s obviously a rhetorical question, attempting to make the point that there are no good jobs to be bad there.
Elsewhere in the letter it is described that Patreon employees had explicitly given approval for pornographic Patreon accounts, only to have this retracted later.

I do feel that their point gets lost in the letter, but ultimately their complaint is simple; there's a niche market and niche opportunities for their specific groups to make pornography for their target audience, and very few means for receiving payment. Patreon previously was a good work-around for the issues with many payment processors refusing to allow pornography, but by being a Patreon campaign, they could avoid this. The letter signees were under the impression that Patreon was okay with this, but now Patreon is saying they are not.

If the above is accurate, then I really get why they're confused and frustrated. I feel they're presenting things in reverse order or taking too long to get to the core point (they want to make porn as they had before without being penalized by payment processors), and Patreon was a solution that made everyone happy, though apparently something changed for Patreon.
I'd politely ask that you have one link to your product page, and the blog logo is a good place to put this link.

When I click Start I'd logo I expect to be taken to their product website, not to the root of their blog.

I have nothing to support my opinion, and maybe most people use the web differently to me.
Curiously I've experience using 63 baud PSK on amateur radio, setting this to that same speed feels slower than when receiving text over the air. I guess this must be some extra overheads somewhere

That's what C said
> When cis white men get threatened with losing their livelihoods by over-active PC campaigners, do you complain that the fact that they are cis white men features in the story?

If they'd start their complaint with "we as white men" I'd get tired of reading it pretty early too.

> When these stories feature the fact that that man has three children to feed, do you complain about the emotional blackmail?

I'll admit I'm less tired of this particular brand of emotional blackmail. Having children is holding responsibility for other people's lives.
Zoning would help primarily in the highest-cost areas. The blog post doesn't specify it, but the problem is mainly in a few major metropolitan areas, not country-wide.
> These sentences correctly show that this change disproportionately affects some (minority) communities.

The letter didn't say anything about what makes the LGBT "disproportionately" affected by this change. What I read was

> We’re writing you today both as adult creators and concerned individuals about free, legal, expression. We’re deeply disappointed in your handling of clarity with regards to adult content on your platform, and the mixed messages we have been receiving.

Which seems like a reasonable concern. Followed non sequitur by:

> Not only that, the most vulnerable among us – disproportionately queer, trans, disabled, people of color and those whose first language is not English – are literally scared for our lives.

Why is Patreon having a fuzzy stand against pornography disproportionately affecting the LGBT community?
Nevertheless, I could browse steam for hours and not find a game that I would really liked (and be disappointed whenever I bought some). If they were there, they were well hidden or expensive for something that had big change that I won't actually like it.

There is stuff for me to play on mobile and I was able to find it by myself. And much cheaper overall.
I agree, it's hard to read
I accept the analogy here between Excel and C, but I think the moral is the opposite.

Excel is very likely a good choice for a lot of people doing complicated stuff with it -- in spite of its problems. It's just that some of those people might also want a niche product that replaces it for some particular purpose. Not an entirely new, general purpose tool.
Julia is all three, yet it's fast (allowing for jit, which in Julia is a one time cost). It's worth noting that those properties themselves are not what's critical, so much as designing around it and allowing for fast paths through critical code (locking down the dynamic types, first class array datatypes with packed forms)...
I like this! I'm not sure what's involved in your beta testing nor do I have any idea what TestFlight is, but I'd like to give it a try.

My purchased music that's actually on my iPhone is somewhat limited (maybe a dozen albums) but I'm always using Spotify and increasingly Apple Music; maybe I'm not quite the user you're targeting at this point.

But I'm very much someone who appreciates albums in whole form and care very much about seeing the artwork/info/etc well, as much as is possible in an app...my main jam is vinyl.

edit: I'd potentially find this even more useful in iPad form, where I could pair it to my stereo and have nice, large graphics.

Not really something I see myself using, sad to say - I have way too much music to ever fit on my phone, which limits my options in practice to those with solid self-hosted streaming support. But I really like the style!
I too am annoyed with the ios music app. And this is a beautiful app you have made here. However, for me I prefer practicality.

I miss the days when the apple music app for ios would display everything in plain text, just like the old ipods.

It made finding music faster, and gave me more retail space on my screen. I dread apps that don't give me this option, and force me to scroll through heavy animations of artwork to find my artist by name.

I don't want to sort and find things by colors.

WhatsApp would be around but the product would likely have had to adopt a business model by now. They were charging some people but i don’t think it was much.
Maybe a wrong place to ask, but can somebody recommend an opposite of this? I don't care for album covers (at least while listening) and prefer alphabetized lists and a text-only playlist for a main view. With good queue management (like in old Winamp and iOS 10 Music; in 11 they screwed it up).
Cover Flow, as it was named, was removed during the great Skeuomorphic purge of 2013.
Thinner is a visually marketable change, such things are easier to sell as fashion and so enable a short product re-purchase cycle.

Apple's controlling influencers, et al., don't care two shits if we Earthlings destroy the planet - if they can drive our greed and desire to present ourselves as better than others to make themselves a hefty profit then they're doing it. That's Capitalism.
Since DeepDrive says, "we are restricted from providing resources using GTAV for legal reasons" I would guess that's the reason.

And since legal advice is always "don't say anything", it doesn't seem entirely surprising that OpenAI haven't.

One of my teachers used to say "what is cheaper: Robert or robot?". There already are constraint based systems for structural engineering that e.g. calculate supports given structure and loads, select materials, etc. I am not too familiar with UK market, but in my country people in civil engineering tell me that significant portion of engineering project costs come not from actual engineering, but rather various permits, coordination and other bureaucracies that do not benefit from single party automating.

This makes returns on investment into new software, trainings and lost temporary productivity diminishing. Without government changing standards on engineering output, the market for flexible projects is not that large (which is a bit of a chicken and an egg problem).

I guess the key phrase there is "leverage". Does your performace succeed? In the case of trans people on US coasts, this seems to be changing. For a short time, their identity had leverage, but the fact that this discussion is criticizing the authors of the letter for trying to leverage trans victim-hood, suggests that this leverage is waning.

As an example of a group without victim-hood leverage, see NAMBLA [1], which represents another sexual orientation, but one which bears no leverage. Another victimized group with seemingly no leverage are those victims of child abuse who are suffering from multiple personality disorder. I know, in the abstract one would say that a victim of child abuse certainly has leverage, but if you read the appeals by those who suffer from severe psychological disorders as a result, you will immediately feel yourself recoil in disgust and grant them no audience. People tend to not see "monsters" as victims, and if we find people too weird or frightening we don't see them as victims. What other groups have no leverage? Perhaps some drug users, we tend to blame them for their problems.

I would argue, that leverage is sometimes directly related to power. For example, the Jews were rich before WWII, and are still rich today. Since the holocaust, their victim-hood has born unparalleled leverage. However, in the same holocaust, the Roma people of the Czech Republic were treated just as badly as the Jews, and being poor, far fewer of them escaped. Yet the Roma have almost no leverage from their holocaust victim-hood.

But do you think that trans people have power?

I don't know much about the difference between Core and Accelerated, I just bought the Fate Core rule book (amazon?) and workout out of it. This is how I run pretty much all my games, buy the book and read it.

A new DM should (IMHO) try playing in a game of the specific system run by someone else first, even in a minimalist system like Fate.

The thing about Fate is that the jargon is generic fiction terms, rather than medieval fantasy or whatever. So you have to read the rules cover to cover before DMing, and make sure to jump forward and back to remind yourself of definitions etc. Once you get going, and are familiar with the two or three mechanics you can use, it's very liberating though!

If it's what I think it is, you should be able to start with Accelerated and then convert to Core if some things aren't working (i.e. it's too simple).
Does anyone else recollect the expression “no one owes you a business model”?

There’s many reasons Patreon should want to avoid being a porn payments processor. Blame American Puritanism or whatever, but that’s the milieu in which they operate. They don’t owe it to anyone to bear excess risk just so that someone else can have a profitable hustle at their expense.

If this is such a big issue for the LGBT community Fund a goddamn KS to make a porn-friendly Patreon clone. Or just to Fund starting a porn-friendly payments processor. If the model is profitable rather than a charitable infusion by the processor, then it’ll be good for everyone, wont it?
Battery acid isn't safe to handle, so it's shipped in a container. Same for a battery, if it were unsafe external to the device then there could just be a shipping caddy - remove the battery from caddy, place old battery in caddy and take for recycling. That would probably be safer than the current situation.
An alternative to black out is to interpolate the pixels at the borders of the "blacked out" box. I've seen it done to suppress logos on images, in many cases it's barely intrusive.

Applied to that QR-code, the currently blurred out part would be entirely white —because the original QR-code was surrounded by a white background.

That should take care of many aesthetic concerns, without using a single bit of secret information for the final rendering.

Ultimately, if buyers believed that it would be necessary to go to that extent to to maintain sunlight in their own back garden, the original developer would've done so and we'd just end up talking about how states should override covenants instead in the HN comments about how people shouldn't have a right to sunlight.

Interviewing is supposed to be hiring people who work everyday, to do everyday jobs.

If people have to practice to clear your interviews. You are either hiring the wrong people, or people who want to get in to only game the interview. In both the instances you are hiring the wrong people.

Put in other words if even ordinary perfectly qualified candidates have to practice to clear a company's interview. The company is likely asking wrong questions.

I’m mostly seeing a lot of Python. The examples show that multiple assignment unpacks collections, functions can be called with argument name assignment, and collections can be unpacked into named arguments, as opposed to using collections to replace named arguments.
I'm not sure about this argument. You could manage the issue in other ways eg enforced fixed terms for jobs.

Also, it's difficult to predict how immortality would affect human psychology, let alone how the technology would work. Perhaps we will be able to 'freeze' someone in their mid to late twenties, at some optimal point of physical health, maturity and risk taking behaviour.

I personally don't think we can take the very old and keep them alive forever. This will almost certainly result in a permanently sick state requiring constant therapy to maintain. The chance of getting cancer will approach unity at some point. Not exactly the ideal of immortal youth.

Only partly agree. Even adults are very conservative. A bunch of forever-40 wouldn't work very well. Luckily this can be fixed. Experimental brain plasticity drugs also increases forgetfulness, which is what we really want. Knowing the old ways of doing things means that new ways won't be explored.
