>I don't know how old you are, but personally (in my early 30s) the internet of my youth was pretty vastly different than the internet of today, i.e. as you say:

I too was a 90s kid. No. It really wasn't. The same dangers that existed back then existed today. There was threats of child predators, internet addiction, gambling, porn, etc. That's why we were taught to be anonymous on the internet. You could argue today's internet is a lot safer than it was in the 90s when most parents didn't even know what the internet was.

> Well now most kids have a high quality webcam in their pocket at all times.

And? 99.99% of them don't use them to sell their photos to pedophiles.

There are pedophiles lurking at libraries too. I guess we should stop kids from using the library. It's funny how people who want to control kids and who are so scared of everything find something to be scared of no matter what.

Just because 0.000001% of kids might do stupid stuff on the internet isn't a reason to monitor every kid or keep kids from the internet without supervision.

> Yes, this was probably a very isolated incident.

That's not the issue; the harm—and the article explicitly says this—wasn’t the “nudity in a movie”. I’m sure this isn't an isolated incident, either for Wienstein or more generally.

But Hayek has done a fair amount of nude work for a mainstream actress, so when she explicitly points to the source of the problem and says it's not the fact of doing nude work for a film, I wonder why your so desperate to recast it as being about nudity in film.
It's not terribly complicated JavaScript. A pop-behind is generally done by calling Window.open() to open a new window, then Window.focus() to re-focus the original window. Another method I've seen is opening a pop-up with the original site, then redirecting the original window to the advertising site. The MDN page for Window.open()[0] actually mentions some of the restrictions around opening windows and focusing other windows that have been added to browsers.

I don't think it's stupid that it costs money, but I am surprised fees are still as high as they are. I suspect it's got something to do with how opaque the processing fee is for the customer.

If I understand it right, merchants often aren't allowed to pass on the fees or (much the same thing) give discounts if you chose a cheaper payment option. No wonder there's little competition on the fees, and Visa[1], Mastercard[2] and PayPal[3] are all having record profits.

Conceptually for every call. In practice, a language can do less, as long as it always calls the correct method.

How exactly it finds that method is an implementation detail, but fast implementations will cache the results of method lookups. For example, https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Co... states:

”To speed the messaging process, the runtime system caches the selectors and addresses of methods as they are used. There’s a separate cache for each class, and it can contain selectors for inherited methods as well as for methods defined in the class. Before searching the dispatch tables, the messaging routine first checks the cache of the receiving object’s class (on the theory that a method that was used once may likely be used again). If the method selector is in the cache, messaging is only slightly slower than a function call. Once a program has been running long enough to “warm up” its caches, almost all the messages it sends find a cached method. Caches grow dynamically to accommodate new messages as the program runs.”

When I taught, I found that student's having mobile phones was pretty useful.

They had to be kept in their bags and on silent during my lessons, unless I gave permission for them to be out.

They would use them to add reminders for homework, have a second screen for internet access, take photos of the board, connect to my Apple TV and then point their cameras at their work to display it to the rest of the class.

I rarely had issues, and when I did I would just confiscate the phone and then make the parents come in to school to collect it. That soon tempers a child's desire to get their phone out in class.

And I think that when we demand respect towards proper terminology from people in other fields, we should have the courtesy to do the same. It is similar to calling a monitor a PC or a computer case a hard drive. And being afraid of weapons does not matter here, quite many people are afraid of computers also.

Show HN: Topic Index for Text-Only NPR
NPR's text-only version (text.npr.org) is fast and great, but it shows only a few stories, and a few oddly-chosen topic options. I noted that there were many more topics available, and made an index of them in a similar style to NPR's own so they're more easily accessible. It's at http://publicradiotopics.com.

I welcome suggestions and criticisms, as well as effusive gratitude.

It is true that young males view themselves as modders/hackers in a way that many young females do not. Many reasons for this exist, but the answer can surely only lie in educating this age group to think differently. I don't hold out much hope that Hollywood will respond with a gender volte face.

Co-author of the book here.

We're writing it so that new newcomers to React can still pick up the fundamentals of the API while learning React Native at the same time. However, the content is geared towards developers who have at least a basic understanding of JavaScript, so you may need to pick up some of the core concepts of the language first before purchasing a book like this.

With that being said, our first chapter is free and goes through building a stand-alone app from start to finish. You can definitely give that a shot first if you're still unsure :)

step 1: accumulate a lot of bitcoin
step 2: use the accumulated bitcoin to prove your new ICO has a value rooted in an already established coin
step 3: offer an initial price for the first however-many units of your coin
step 4: get your coin popular enough to be on the exchanges eventually

Bonus points / better chances if your coin does something in a new way, or using the cryptographic puzzle solving step to do something useful like Fold Proteins.

Many ICOs are not at all rooted in BTC.
Something like IOTA is backed by just under 1337 BTC.

Imagine BTC as the gold in fort knox and any new coin you want to make as a currency that needs to be backed in gold, this is my advice.

I've seen it personally at all levels of education you list, plus in workplaces, as well as in other places. Now, not in every example of each, but in enough that, while I'm sometimes surprised at the extent, I'm never, anymore, surprised to find it in ant context.
The "identify the grid squares which contain a sign" type CAPTCHA isn't clear about whether you should be selecting all grid squares that contain mostly sign, or all grid squares that contain ANY of the sign. I imagine that particular one causes a fair discrepancy in what people select.

> The question is who wins: Joe Six-pack like you and me, or the suits with the lawyers and PR teams?

... who wins what? The most value which the company provides?

Apologies if I missed some sarcasm here, it’s hard to tell these days.

I’m curious what customers are potentially losing or being ‘manipulated’ here ... because a company wrote a human personal-style press release.

We’re not talking about the special advantages large companies or wealthy individuals get as a result of government policy or in the court room... where politicians and law makers can be bought off or influenced in in their favour, over competitors or consumer interests.

And if customers occasionally reacting negatively, in regards to a service they clearly care about enough to protect and protest to making a change, is ‘adversarial’ then you’re engaging in your own spin. This seems like a healthy give and take. The fundamental basis on which our society is built.
>And at least for serials the "quid-pro-quo" arrangement is usually earlier access to content

Yes, when I typed out "quid-pro-quo", I was thinking back to the recent HN article about webcam women making money on Patreon. Patrons would pay $10 a month and for that, the women would do private chats, role play, etc. For that particular type of patron who needs to see a particular woman take her clothes off, the 2.9% fee plus 35 cents would be more of a "nuisance" fee and they'd just go ahead and pay it. Let's call this group, the SUBSCRIBERS.

However, a lot of Patreon relationships are not quid-pro-quo and it's a totally different psychology when patrons pay a $1 donation to "support an artist" with no direct benefit other than some good feelings or minor things like "early access to content" like you pointed out. In this scenario, Patreon is the online version of throwing money into a hat to show appreciation for the musician at a coffee shop. Inflicting extra fees on patrons damages this type of relationship. (E.g. "Twitter was filled with screenshots of people removing their $1 pledges.") Let's call this tip jar group, the DONATORS.

If SUBSCRIBERS are the majority and dominated the platform over the DONATORS, Patreon could have stayed the course to charge extra fees to patrons on December 18.

However, it's telling that Patreon aborted that plan which signals to me that the DONATORS are a very large and influential part of the Patreon membership. Jack said they did a bunch of spreadsheet models and surveys before announcing the fee changes but obviously, their assumptions about their members were way off somewhere.

(I'm oversimplifying with categories of SUBSCRIBERS vs DONATORS to illustrate a point. It's certainly possible for some patrons to be a blend of both psychologies based on how their pledges are split to various creators.)
The cash is not directly owned by Apple Inc. the US corporation. Probably is not so easy for an Apple foreign subsidiary to invest in US companies (investing as in M&A, of course, not buying stocks as financial investment).
Can you explain what you mean by "fix that"? How is that helpful? I read your link and it doesn't provide any actionable items.

In any case, it doesn't "run as SYSTEM". The invoking credentials for a process are not necessarily relevant on a kernel like NT. A process can choose modify its security token after process invocation. For e.g. User mode apps, can downgrade their read/write rights, limiting them to a fixed directory, so even if they had exploitable bugs, the damage could be limited. Chrome on windows uses these same protections. I'm sure similar tech exists on competing kernels.

MsMpEng.exe AFAICT runs as a 'system protected process'. Certainly, it looks like there were severe bugs but its not clear where the bugs lie. It could be that the protection mechanism itself is flawed (which would be very bad), or maybe the way it's being used is incorrect, etc etc
> You're fine with blocking but not with prioritization?!

...and you think I was mischaracterizing your comment?

No-one I've ever seen on the Anti-NN side is talking about blocking either content or traffic. That would be antithetical to the narrative that doing away with it is a "freedom" issue, and which has somehow been spun into the crazy notion that NN entails censorship. They're talking about prioritizing — or, rather, de-prioritizing — content whose provider doesn't pay for a fast-lane.

Bringing blocking into the discussion distracts from the actual issue. To then double down on that and make the utterly unsubstantiated leap to inferring that I might somehow be okay with blocking content but not prioritizing it — when I specifically said "I think port blocking is orthogonal to Net Neutrality", never mind that this entire sub-thread was about blocking ports, not content — is fatuously specious.

If that's the kind of discourse you have to offer, I'm done here.

This is interesting as it presents T-Mobile with three new areas to make money in, existing license agreements, OTT video delivery, and the existing wireline infrastructure that Layer3 says they have. They saw Comcast get into their game, so they're going to get into theirs.
Sure, I think you're probably correct that rampant video game culture probably did begin to alienate women, even back in the eighties, since they saw that computers were mostly being used as tools for violent competition and most women were not very interested in that.

That's where our opinions will probably diverge though, because I also believe boys glean more enjoyment from video games simply because they are biologically-predisposed to enjoy violent / high-stakes competitions more intensely.

It's not just video games, look at the gender ratios in competitive poker, or chess, or debate. All very similar.

Since there seems to be a strong chance that the root of the problem is innate / hormonal / biological it's not an issue that's "easy" to even rationally discuss, let alone solve, as you keep stating throughout the thread.

> Layer3 TV brands itself as "The New Cable." ... offering access to a wide range of HD and 4K channels (more than 275 in total), streamed using the highly efficient H.265 (also known as HEVC) video codec and a custom set-top box. It's a pure IP service—there's no tuner in the box, and it will connect over Wi-Fi—and to support it, Layer3 has built out a fiber distribution network and data center in Denver that handles transcoding shows into HEVC. It also has partnerships with Internet providers to provide the last mile connectivity. This private backbone network should mean that Layer3 doesn't suffer the kinds of issues that Netflix dealt with a few years ago when its links bought from Cogent became congested.

I suspect that T-Mobile is buying them for their technology and plans to scrap the current service offerings and try to offer an À la carte service. If they're able to do that it could be revolutionary but that's a big if. Most cable packages exist today because networks force their channels to be sold in bundles, you can't offer ESPN without ESPN2 or the Disney Channel.

Sling TV is allegedly À la carte but it's really just a basic cable bundle with the really crap channels excluded.

Yes, a "dynamic language" is generally one where all method calls are dynamically dispatched. They're usually implemented using "message-passing" terminology (ex.

I think this sort of stuff resolves on its own in time. Eventually the marketers actually paying for bogus ad impressions look at a spreadsheet and notice that the despite strong numbers, these ads aren't translating into sales or new user signups or increased brand awareness.
