These phenomena aren’t limited to porn. Content industries have several players competing for limited revenues. Customers don’t care who gets what, they’re willing to pay a certain amount for the content (even if that amount is in the form of advertising). The chief battle is between distributors and content producers. When copyright breaks down, as it has in porn, distributors get all the leverage and all the profits.

Accordingly, distributors have huge incentives to push for weakening of copyright. The lobbying of middle-man companies like Google, etc., against copyright can be viewed through that lens. Distribution channels like YouTube, etc., are a lot more valuable when they can distribute other peoples’ content for free.

If it's an input device for Windows games, without revealing the device, why does it have to go through the USB stack? Basically all games on Windows use DirectX, specifically its DirectInput libraries. (It's been a while, so they've probably been renamed, but the point remains that USB isn't necessary for all input devices, though it is up the application as to what it'll take.) Many emulators are more flexible; might take a look there, and if not, there's also Bluetooth - do the fakery in hardware.

Turns out, if BusinessInsider is correct, the raw coca plant leaves needed to make 1kg of cocaine base costs about $650. The same article claims you can get kilos in South America for about $6,500 with purity around 85%. Prices go up the closer you get to the final destination, but as do the risks too of course. If those numbers are accurate, would indicate a gross difference of 10x, not the 172x from source article. I’m surprised the coca leaves go for so much!

Disclaimer: Amazon is my employer, thoughts on the article my own.

The agenda in the article is the head tax currently being debated and fought in Seattle city council. This is absolutely a hit piece that sounds very much the same as what has been in the local papers.

The glaring issue not mentioned in the article is that Seattle already spends hundreds of millions of dollars a year for homeless services and the reason no one wants to give the city more money is because the homeless situation is so insanely bad given the money they have spent. Money is not going to fix the problem.

I’m also biased because I got punched in the head by a homeless person on the way to/from work and that fact alone is not enough to de-anonymize me. Right now there is a man screaming “fuck” at the top of his lungs at 8am, the same person who last week I saw punching a car trying to pull out of a parking spot.

If the city could promise a genuine solution other than just shrugging these crimes off, I promise you everyone living in Seattle city limits would support that tax. Unfortunately, the problem continues to get worse not better.

"Declining to date someone because they're fat is now firmly seen as a bullying tactic"

What?

Where I come from you're allowed to date who you deem to be attractive. Nobody cares if you don't date anyone because they're fat, dumb, small, poor or what not.
And despite the great story this image tells, it also isn't universally true - most of the successful products I've worked on never went that deep into despair. We fixed a problem, built something that worked, got customers, and went fairly quickly from idea to the "OK, but it still sucks" point. Maybe we never hit the height of the image, but we built respectable products that were profitable and fun to work on.

Sometimes that valley of despair is something to work through... but just as often, the idea just isn't that great. Telling the difference between the two is the key.

Yes, this notice itself explicitly makes them non-compliant (IMO, not a lawyer), better to have nothing.
I don’t see how that’s possible. If two regulations are in completely unrelated areas, how can they combine to destroy something?

There are plenty of cases where regulation benefits all of the involved parties. My favorite example is safety equipment for race cars. Absent regulation, there’s huge pressure to not have any because it increases weight and slows you down. But if you regulate it so everyone has to have it, you stop that dangerous incentive and everyone is better off.

And of course the classic theoretical framework for this is the prisoners’ dilemma. Forcing the prisoners to cooperate makes them both better off, but they won’t do that on their own.

Higher consumption seems locked in since everyone wants, and believes they can get, a middle class life.

Efficiency has to go into overdrive or we overheat the planet. But, by conventional measures of output, efficiency can be recessionary. Phones and phone service will continue to decline in cost long after the market is saturated.

We are headed for either a marvelous soft landing enabled by efficiency and population stability, or we are headed for a crunch with a return to mass starvation, an energy crisis, and economic crisis in general. It's really not obvious which will happen.
> Declining to date someone because they're fat is now firmly seen as a bullying tactic, but not dating someone because they're short is perfectly fine.

As they say, "'No' is a complete sentence." Anyone can decline to date anyone for any reason you like. And it's probably best not to give reasons, especially if it's something intrinsic or hard to change.

Many people lack a peer group capable of giving them effective dating advice. Men who don't have any friends who aren't straight guys of their own age should probably fix that first. And work on opening up emotionally.
> No-one's suggesting forcing women to marry someone.

The "incel" community frequently calls for the state to provide partners to incels. They point to how in the Netherlands, the disabled have access to sex worker services, subsidized by the state. They claim that their inability to find sexual partners is comparable to a disability, and therefore the state should help.

Then, some portion of those incels believe that men should be able to expect that their sexual partners do not have any other partners, so suddenly this turns into believing that the state should provide incels a monogamous, long-term partner, essentially a wife.

You don't understand it. It is your site, your users. If you enable 3rd party illegal tracking of your users by ANY means, it is your responsability too. To cover your back, you need to sign a legally valid contract (or they need to send you conformation) that they respect GDPR and assess their way of doing it (at least in this early stages, as very often, they are just trying to workaround it, which puts you in danger) to be absolutely sure about them. Analyitics, ad providers, CDNs, SaaS... all of them.

Take it as, "I control the door to a bank vault, if I allow robbers in, I will be a complice to a crime as the crime couldn't be commited without your help". Negligence or direct intent, it can be costly. Assess your 3rd party sources very carefully, I have already removed GA and replaced them with local analytics (https://matomo.org/) as I can't trust them, they are trying to downplay GDPR and there is already a complaint written against them (https://noyb.eu not for GA though), and I have read the PDFs, they are right and quite objectively, they are guilty. I dont want to be in a same boat with them.

> This skirts a taboo that you can barely talk about: that personal preferences in dating are not judged to the same standard, and that movements of empowerment and positivity are clashing with everyone's free will in pursuing -- and especially articulating -- what they do and don't like. Declining to date someone because they're fat is now firmly seen as a bullying tactic, but not dating someone because they're short is perfectly fine.

Do you have sources to cite on that? Because this honestly sounds like an incel talking point. The idea that it's ok for women to judge and reject men -- for being short, or any other number of male-oriented deficiencies -- but men are not similarly free to reject women based on their appearance. It's bullshit and it doesn't really exist. Anecdotally, I've never once seen someone be judged for not wanting to date someone no matter how shallow the reason. It's just another way in which these men are claiming to be unfairly victimized in the dating world.

I’m not sure this disproves the comment you’re replying to. There will always be the ‘reject pool’ from previous years, but women in their 30s seem to be better at moving on with their lives. Men seem to resent it and demand the world provide them a partner and blame women when they say (collectively) “nah mate, we’re good”.

The thing that confuses me about this explanation: we already do that. So it doesn't make much sense as a proposed solution to a supposedly new problem.
Also, unless there is a law compelling them to charge miners the same prices, a new law is not needed. The utility can just implement it as a price policy.

The making of 4kb demoscene production “Oscar's Chair”
We absolutely use a variant of this technique in Haskell. We absolutely do not need type classes (of any order) to make it work (although type classes and type families certainly clean up the implication). We need a Fixpoint lifting, a way to consider an object as a functor (which we could do at the value level). The rest is simple functions.

I was surprised how similar it looks in Java. I hadn't considered how it would look.
What if someone told you it would be free.
I heard the difference might be because testing determines lesser quality builds which then are limited in software to meet the respective specs within a broad error margin. The unlocked ones might work and display but you loose all guarantees on precision. This process is called binning, and is done with many electronic parts, most famously cpus that are binned according to energy efficiency, clock frequency, or cache size.

Of course that doesn't excempt them from attempting price differentiation, e.g. under the veil of this process.
I hardly think the purpose of this post was to show "hey, here's what you should do if you want to multiply matrices in production: write this from scratch". More like "learn how it is done, to make a seemingly simple algorithm, for a crucial problem, fast on modern processors".

None of that is particularly relevant.

Recital 26:

The principles of data protection should apply to any information concerning an identified or identifiable natural person... To determine whether a natural person is identifiable, account should be taken of all the means reasonably likely to be used, such as singling out, either by the controller or by another person to identify the natural person directly or indirectly. To ascertain whether means are reasonably likely to be used to identify the natural person, account should be taken of all objective factors, such as the costs of and the amount of time required for identification, taking into consideration the available technology at the time of the processing and technological developments.

If I give you an IP with the last octet redacted, how would you use that information to identify a natural person? If you can think of a method, how long does it take? How much does it cost? Is it reasonably likely to be used?
The other states did plan ahead by getting long-term contracts for power, probably makes more sense to buy excess hydro-power than building a coal fired plant locally.

I think pornography is going to be a significant selection pressure on the human race, much more than we realize. We're basically running a global-scale experiment right now. Who knows what's going to happen in 10-15 years, when the first generation with firehoses of firehoses of HD porn just a click away their entire lives, comes of age to marry and have children. I think it's going to effect both men and women pretty badly. Men will be emasculated by the relative difference between the pornography they watch, the expectations porn creates, and the barren reality of their actual sex lives. I think this is going to disincentivize men even more from pursuing sexual relationships, even more than just having their desires pseudo-satisfied by the porn itself. Women are going to be stunned by the attenuation of men's desire for them, desire that came as an assumption to thousands of years of cultural norms (male-led courtship) and perhaps even instincts built into our genes. Porn may require/cause a genetic readjustment. We won't live long enough to see.

No, advertising, either directly to the subject or to other
people specifically referencing the subject, a personal characteristic as the reason for declining to date someone has always (well, since the early 1980s, at least, don't really know how it was received before I was in elementary school) been recognized as a means of attacking that person and often a bullying tactic, (doubly so when it is done prospectively.)

Not dating someone itself, for any reason, is not generally, even now, and irrespective of the actual reason.
