I like talking with conservatives. I may not be one but I think it is an important political viewpoint that can have valid perspectives.

But unless you’re going to say racism, bigotry, and all the rest that The Donald/alt-right bring to the table are conservative ideals I don’t see ANY way you could take what I said as espousing that.
The nest brand is probably even more toxic than Google after the past few years of media coverage.
I'm pretty sure celebrities have also been able to request the removal of fake porn featuring themselves, and online communities have been able to ban the posting of it. So we're not really in any particularly new territory here.
These bannings and the process making the news will definitely have the Streisand effect. The community might move on from Reddit but so many people have been made aware of the possibilities that it's impossible to keep a lid on it.

Here’s an interesting thought experiment. What happens if this continues?

Women become increasingly excluded as management avoid them to protect themselves.

As a result less women go into/stay in the workforce. Chances are they can’t progress or be included so why bother?

This extends to outside of work too. Men will no longer approach women. There’s too many risks for men.

We have a population of men who avoid interacting with women on professional and personal environments.

We have women who are seen as a major risk. Self esteem plummets and they have little self worth.
> people are still 100% within their rights to combine images legally obtained in this way. And post them online.

Are they? If you distribute movies and media to the public, you normally are breaking laws. (Hence the infamous FBI warning on movies for a couple decades now.) Likewise, you cannot just use people's likeness in marketing and other public uses without their permission. So I'm not at all sure that just because you have an image, you have the rights to create and distribute derivative works from them.
Do you honestly think that using someone else's copywritten material to transform yet another person's likeness into something that very few people would consent to (when you almost certainly didn't try to get consent) is a fair use right, legally or socially?

Just to clarify the conundrum in your second paragraph: this is definitively privileging your privacy over someone else’s. What you do in private is your business, yes, but that doesn’t give you the right to be a voyeur simply because you are doing so in seclusion.

That’s why I think this is a poor argument.
JavaScript – Map vs. ForEach – codeburst
From what I understand, much of what seems missing, and possibly broken in C comes primarily from the vast number of platforms it supports. It's actually surprisingly hard to build a language that supports both x86, and 4bit microcontrollers, and everything in between. That extra couple of bytes attached to an array with it's size is huge for embedded systems.

/r/politics is a bit of an echo chamber (tho really that’s due to being sick of the Donald brigades) but Trump is objectively horrible so that isn’t a good yardstick.
That's a reasonable question. The short answer is that, when I was trying to hire contractors at my last startup, sites like Upwork had low-skill labor, and I had trouble sifting through their communities to find the high-skill contractors that I needed.

We are working on a smaller, more curated community with startup experience and more specialization. We are tailoring it for a narrow group of more experienced talent. Our goal is to avoid the problem that plagues other sites of having low-skill/low-cost workers displace higher-skill workers as they scale. We have found a model that provides large amounts of high-skill talent, and we value contractor quality over scaling.

We think that the market is shifting to more high-skill workers, e.g. https://qz.com/1152683/indian-it-layoffs-in-2017-top-56000-l...

>No, Lyft employees should not be able to view our trip history willynilly. No, the NSA should not be able to gobble up all of our google searches for profiling us. And no, we should not have to suffer being put in porn against our will because we are a person in the public eye.

These are centralized entities. In theory it is very easy to implement sound internal controls surrounding the access of that type of data given audit logs or whatever. The issue with deepfakes is that given a reasonable stack of images, anyone can produce their own porn. If you're a woman with many many photos on a public instagram account you can be a likely target given that anyone can go ahead and scrap your images. However, if you're one of the millions of wives that doesn't have a large presence on social media, then the deepfake can easily be tracked back to the spouse who has access to that private stack of photos.

The normal caveats apply: you need access to a gpu, probably access to Tor to download the source in case github shuts the repos, etc etc. But when there is a will there is a way.

None of these examples are really anywhere close to deepfake porn videos.

- Porn tarnishes reputations

Consider connecting Substack to other payment providers too, if not now, after you get to some sales and profitability, since Stripe is only available in some countries as of now. This is a common and perennial issue with many startups, whether US-based or other. I'm aware that it can be a lot of work, due to different and complex government regulations and legal paperwork needed for different countries, but it can lead to growth of the startup too.
Very pleasant read, something nostalgic about this old style blog. Made me think of the days I'd spend chatting and voice messaging folks from MSN and yahoo chatrooms and all the friends I've made there who I've lost touch with.
Yup, I ran into this issue enough as a kid that I stopped using cut/paste/undo in explorer. If I needed to copy or move files around, I’d use the command line—which also had the effect of making files copy much faster (seconds instead of minutes) for some reason.
Chris and Hamish,

Do you have anyone using Substack for a 'news aggregation' sort of newsletter? I am curious.

I have written software that makes it simple for me to curate ice hockey news and place links and article summaries on http://HockeyBias.com every morning. I have been thinking of providing the data in an email newsletter as well.

Thank you.
I'm no criminal genius or anything but as a monday morning quarterback here i feel like he got too many people involved and screwed himself. Fencing the gold you can't do much about I guess but if you're able to just do it and gtfo. Don't go around giving people money to go on a road trip to LA with you. Don't give your shady-ass girlfriend the money to hold onto. Take it with you and ditch the car on the border and walk across to Mexico. And what's he telling everyone in ecuador he stole $1.6m in gold for anyway? Sounds like the guy's lucky he got caught and never received the money.
Ah yes, the introduction of the start menu. A widget that even 20 years later, when Microsoft dared to change it even a bit, people absolutely lost their minds.
Python/Django and Node.js generally
Usually people use the slippery slope to avoid things, not encourage a descent into depravity, but to each their own.

In any case, you shouldn't pretend as if this is morally okay just because you can focus in on each individual step and find a way to justify it. There are a lot of crimes that clearly fall into this bucket: stalking, for example. Any one interaction may be innocent, but it's the sum total of actions that completes the picture of abuse.

If you endorse distributing fake naked pictures of celebrities, you are a bad person, no matter your line of reasoning.
I'm sure if you would ask the people in those fakes they had a problem with it from the beginning. "It has always been a thing" isn't an argument for something.
Thanks, will take a look. I think I had come across it here on HN, but had not tried it out yet. Did not know that there were many bindings.
Thanks. It seems to be a coin toss between the native WSL + Docker and just running everything in a VM
Well, it is definitely transformative. In fact, nothing of the original work really survives the transformation.

You can't merely copyright your likeness.

As for socially, consider this: They have used the likeness of Bruce Lee, Carrie Fischer, Prince, and Peter Cushing in commercial works, undoubtedly without prior consent. We also have "public" nude photos taken and distributed of celebrities on a regular basis (paparazzi). This appears to be quite socially acceptable, so I'll run with the idea that "socially acceptable" is pretty fluid when it comes to celebrities likenesses.
That sucks. Adult principles:

Also read my OP more carefully. I never suggested that I judged or made assumptions about people based on their appearance.
So, subreddits that do "safe for work" deepfakes are still around and allowed. This tells me that the technology will just get better and better and the use for it to create NSFW deepfakes will likewise get better and better (while existing underground?) until it really is impossible even for an expert to tell that they are fakes. That is what I assume will happen anyway.

T_d and similar regularly sees posts that break the rules, at rates higher than other subs, that are highly upvoted, it's not just a few low-scoring bad apples. Reddit won't ban them because they want the traffic. "Well they took some down after they got caught" is a sorry excuse.
Great advice on technical implementation - thanks for this!

I guess the takeaway I'm getting is that using this AWS-backed, encrypted tunnel will let me:

Mask my traffic destination (via AWS routing)
Hide my traffic content (via encryption to AWS)
Minimize/eliminate tracking (assuming I don't accept cookies)

Are those the benefits I'm looking for out of this? Or am I missing benefits here?

I think how convincing a piece of media may be is at the crux of this issue. Photoshopped heads of celebrities on porn actors' bodies have been around for some time now and isn't, to my knowledge, illegal. The key difference here is that people hold video to be more trustworthy. Given the advancements in CG and now more recently with deep fakes, perhaps that's what needs to change; People should stop trusting video footage.

You make three statements here. The first is a verifiable fact, the second is an unsubstantiated falsehood, the last is an unfalsifiable opinion.

What's scare me the most it's not the porn. But the fact that make this kind of tech it's kinda-avaliable to anyone with a GPU and a few hours of learning and training.

The only thing that make this not a treat to your regular folk it's the fact that needs a lot of images references to make the model, but imagine a politician or activist, they have a lot of images on the net; So this can take the fake news to another level. Yeah if this happens the news media and legal system, will probably not take shady videos seriously without verification (specially now, that the algorithm it's still is in the middle of the uncanny valley, so for the moment it's easy to recognize without experts need). But think about your friend, uncle or cousin that shares his "echo chamber" posts on facebook?

I agree, since the every day person's idea of what is possible is entirely cultural and that will change and advance, although it doesn't necessarily need to be illegal for it to be pushed out to the seedier parts of the internet and off of the more public platforms where influence is easier to gain.

You’re seriously underestimating the precision involved in nuclear weapons. You’re not printing any of the explosive lenses, or any part of the physics package. You’re not printing neutron reflectors and absorbers either. Most of all though, assuming the ability to print some of what I’ve described emerges, it will not be in one compact, inexpensive device. Your boron composite printer won’t be your explosive lens printer, and so on.

I'm not sure it's useful anymore to point to quantum computers and say: 'Hey! You're not getting all your function evaluations back....so they're weak'. I feel this leads to misconceptions about quantum computing as well. You have to remember, the tensor product of N qubits is an exponentially expanding space...and the functions DO get evaluated in that space, the trick being you have to extract a JOINT property of the function evaluations, rather than the result of each one individually. Let's be clear, even with this caveat, the potential of quantum computing is enormous. I've personally read Kalai's papers and in my opinion, his objections boil down to 'it's just too good to be true'....but hey...we'll see :)

Given the flexibility of where the range raft leader could be, CRDB makes an active effort to colocate it near to where the requests originate from (which is some part of what the CDN parallel was alluding to with low RTT for multi-region deployments).

WRT to the writes here, if a majority of the replicas for that range are in the proximate regions, the requests would only travel that far before responding. I believe the argument is that this a more flexible design point than a single point of entry for all incoming writes, regardless of the origin. The cost to write out to the furthest region within any majority of replicas is of course inevitable to have cross-region durability, alternatively you could trade this off to have the majority of your replicas specific to requests from a specific region, be located to that specific region.

I was thinking more of the value developers created being more freely accessible, and therefore making employers/consumers less willing to pay for it.

Companies would pay to develop/buy non-core software such as for infrastructure which they can now get nearly free. On the whole FOSS seems to push the money into the hands of service company owners, since services are not themselves FOSS (usually, excluding AGPL).
While I agree with you, it's much more invasive than a superimposed face on a still image.
