It does, in fact, carry the weight of law (not just in the instant case but in every case to which it's ruling is applicable in every US federal and state court at every level, other than the US Supreme Court itself.)

It isn't, on its own, a final judgment on the case, but that doesn't mean it lacks force of law.
This is why evil will always win, because good is dumb.

While certainly child predators are an issue, I don't even need to consider this sort of thing from that angle.

Why do you need to post publicly rather than marking it as unlisted and sharing the link with people you know and trust? Would you personally like to have a video posted of you in your underwear? Even if that's okay with you, perhaps your daughter will grow up preferring to have a more private life, and to keep things like that off the internet? But you've taken that choice away from her.

One of my favorite articles on this topic: https://slate.com/technology/2013/09/facebook-privacy-and-ki... (and a follow-up, after the author was informed that she had unwittingly allowed some photos of her daughter out onto the internet: https://slate.com/technology/2013/09/privacy-facebook-kids-d...). I don't know that I'd go as far as she has, creating a sort of "digital account trust", but I do like the approach of keeping a kid's private life off the internet until they're old enough to decide how much they want to share.
If you've watched any NBA in the past decade you can see a trend of calling fouls against teams that are winning too heavily against favorites. It's not hard.
> You can deliberately cause severe inconsistencies...

No, you can't. Whatever it turns out you do already happened. You're assuming that being in the past means you can somehow "change" it, which is incoherent nonsense.

As David Lewis pointed out [1], the idea that self-consistency in the face of time travel requires some kind of "thwarting" of your actions by "the universe" is just a poor (and unnecessary) plot device employed by some science fiction authors. You should read up on Novikov self-consistency [2]. Read the Lewis paper too, it doesn't require a physics background and will illuminate the heart of the matter. See in particular the discussion on compossibility.

Open Sourcing Sparta for Easier Abstract Interpretation
GPU Coders haven't changed their code in the last 10 years, even as NVidia changed their architecture repeatedly.

PTX Assembly from NVidia still runs on today's architectures. I think this variable-length issue they focus on so much is a bit of a red-herring: NVidia always was 32-way SIMD but the PTX Code remains portable nonetheless.

The power is that PTX Assembly (and AMD's GCN Assembly) has a scalar-model of programming, but its execution is vectorized. So you write scalar code, but the programmer knows (and assumes it to be) in a parallel context. EDIT: I guess PTX is technically interpreted: the number of registers is not fixed, etc. etc. Nonetheless, the general "SIMD-ness" of PTX is static, and has survived a decade of hardware changes.

There are a few primitives needed for this to work: OpenCL's "Global Index" and "Local Index" for example. "Global Index" is where you are in the overall workstream, while "Local Index" is useful because intra-workgroup communications are VERY VERY FAST.

And... that's about it? Really. I guess there are a bunch of primitives (the workgroup swizzle operations, "ballot", barrier, etc. etc.), but the general GPU model is actually kinda simple.

-----------

I see a lot of these CPU architecture changes, but none of them really seem to be trying to learn from NVidia or AMD's model. A bit of PTX-assembly or GCN Assembly probably would do good to the next generation of CPU Architects.

I'm surprised that the comments here focus on any specific video and don't focus on the fact that YouTube starts recommending the next similar video.

YouTube has convinced me that recommendation systems are garbage in general. Try seeing what YouTube recommends to play after a few plays of searching for something historic like the moon landing.

We can't crowd source finding related videos and then shrug like this. This would not be nearly as big of a deal if YouTube's recommendation system was dropped entirely.

Many governments have made clear that children are unable to consent on their own to many things (the "Age of Consent" itself comes to mind), and before the age at which they are able to consent, their parents act as a steward of their consent. It does bring up an interesting line of thought though, which is that if we legislated that children (once adults) can consent to the release of their likeness/recordings of themselves, and they DO consent to sexually suggestive content as described in this post, can they also not consent to release fully nude/sexual content of themselves from when they were younger? Where along that line do they lose the ability to make informed consent decisions? I would also note that children also do not seem to have an expected right to privacy from their own parents, per cultural norms.

"Accredited investor" in legal regulation terms is mostly a polite way to say "has enough money to not be permanently ruined if one of their big risky investments ends up in the hole".

That is to say, if your neighbor has 40 million dollars in the first place, he almost certainly counts as "accredited", unless he's also got 50 million sitting around in liabilities.
People have been saying that stuff for years. Unfortunately, this affects mostly folks doing illegal things or those accused of them, making the public at large have little incentive to fix it.
Everyone deserves the Presumption of Innocence. Without the Presumption of Innocence, it becomes too easy for the government or sufficiently powerful people in the community to use accusations for their own purposes. This was seen in the Salem Witch trials, where one study found evidence that some accusations were used to eliminate rivals or to make property available. This was seen in the activities of the English crown prior to the formulation of the Magna Carta. It is seen time and again in history. In 2019, it is seen in very recent history.

Defining the Foundation – Our Values and How They Impact Our Growth
As someone that found about this "wormhole" long time ago, I was very surprised about this video. Because all I saw was a cute girl stretching doing her gimnastics, and I found her cute, so I would watch something similar later on.

I found it really weird that he thinks those videos are an abomination, because, there's videos like these of cats being cute, and then Youtube algorithm is going show nothing but cute cat videos. Are we going the be escandalized because some people might have zoophilia and use those videos to masturbate or something?

It's ridiculous, at some point he shows his screen full of innocent little girl videos, and acts as if it's the most disgusting thing. Little girls being disgusting. I don't get it.

I never read the comments, but I never imagined pedophiles looking at these videos at all, because, I expected them to be looking at actually sexual stuff, or whatever. So there's this video of a cute little girl showing how she decorated her room and it has millions of views, am I supposed to believe that there were millions of people on there seeing sexual content where there was none?

The saddest part of all this was all the comments on the video, agreeing with the guy that "this was awful", calling perfectly fine videos of little girl "softcore porn". If they see an innocent video of a little girl eating ice cream and weird thoughts cross their mind, it's their problem.
That'd be a bit of a poop job.

This isn't a ref throwing games for kickbacks, but it's surprising that nowhere in this thread has anyone mentioned the most blatant game-fixing in league history, which was the 1984 Lakers-Celtics finals.

In this series, the league thought their predominantly-White fanbase needed to see Larry Bird (who is White) win the series. (Spoiler alert: Celtics won in 7).

Some of the highlights (lowlights?) of Magic Johnson blatantly throwing the series (especially the first play in this video, sending game 1 into overtime) are here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSlWNU5_JVc&t=91s

The comments on the youtube are interesting, lots of people call it game fixing. Nobody who has ever played even semicompetitive organized basketball could mistake this for an honest performance.

Downthread there is also a reference to the infamous "Phoenix Suns Free Throw Parade" 1993 game 7 WCF (in which the Suns went 57 for 64 from the line, not a typo), which was also overtly thrown by the league for revenue reasons.

Verifiable Delay Functions from Supersingular Isogenies and Pairings
I don't actually know, but I'm going to hazard a guess that it's the same as in the US: dating apps. How else could you possibly meet people to date? This isn't a joke question, because I honestly have no idea.

The standard ways of meeting partners, according to surveys, have been: school, work, church, friends, family, bars, online. School isn't possible if you're not a student any more (i.e., most everyone over 25), work is generally frowned upon and pretty limited unless your workplace has a lot of turnover (which is bad for other reasons!), church isn't useful if you're not religious (as is the case for Sweden I'm sure), friends and family have limited social circles of singles, and bars are a great place to meet alcoholics. The surveys I've read for dating in America have shown that all these methods (except maybe school) have been declining for a long time, while online has become the #1 method.

> No, it just takes the support of the President and a sufficient number of Senators.

You're kinda both right. The legal mechanism says that "a lifetime of respect" isn't necessary, but the norms that have evolved around its use say otherwise.

Recent history demonstrates (in the extreme) that norms aren't inviolable, but I think the ones around the competency of Supreme Court confirmees is stronger than most.

The World’s Largest Battery to Power the Permian
You just have to think a bit differently about your synchronization primitves. You don't have locks, you have a message queue and that is your synchronization primitive. A resource that should only be accessed by one thread is abstracted away using an actor, and the queue guarantees that only one process at the time has access, as the actor can only process one message at a time.

You can implement locks using actors if you really want to. An actor represents the state of the lock and stores which actor locked it and only responds to the unlock message from that actor and ignores all lock and unlock messages from all the other actors until it is unlocked.
That solves the issue from the advertisers' perspective.

It doesn't solve the "pedos are looking at my kid" side of things.
I don't think this is a reasonable analysis.

It takes 3 clicks to disable adblocking for a particular site once ever. Click icon at top of window, click disable, click reload. This takes aprox 2 seconds once ever for each site. If you regularly use 7 sites that are annoying in this fashion you have invested 14 seconds.

By contrast lets discuss switching networks one of which uses dns to filter out ads. If you use one of these 7 sites 3 times per week you will incur a 6 second cost not just to click but to actually authenticate and start receiving data from the new net. That is 468 times in 3 years. This means that while I spent 14 seconds you spent 47 minutes.

This is on top of the 60 minutes you spent figuring out the complex solution that only works on your local network buying hardware, configuring hardware.

On net you will ultimately invest over 400x the time for a worse solution.

Using a solution that relies on a custom vpn is stupid in that it prevents you from using an actual vpn to increase your privacy.

Using custom dns even if there is an easy escape hatch to disable/enable it relatively quickly is STILL a global solution which implicitly requires turning it on and off manually and incurring a small time cost per operation.

In conclusion addressing ads via dns/routers wherein you intend to view some content that requires selectively disabling said feature is a complex and grossly ineffective solution. To avoid ads in apps don't install apps with ads. Browser addons remain the obvious choice. If your mobile platform doesn't allow someone to release such software for your platform use a different mobile platform. Namely ditch IOS for this and other reasons.

It's about degrees of freedom.

Even if an adversary has access to a machine, there is a difference if they can choose when/where to exploit/steal something, or if they have to wait for an action. If the adversary cant get persistence, a simple reboot of the machine might get them evicted and the keylogger is gone. That's just a simple example but it shows that things are more nuanced.

Apple for instance has efforts so that even root can't just debug arbitrary processes or unlock keychains of other users without them agreeing to it or disabling SIP.

It's about raising the bar and removing degrees of freedom for an adversary, so it becomes more dfficult. In the end of course systems can always be exploitable (given enough resources are allocated in breaking in).

The positive value-added is well captured (through sales conversions), while the negative value isn't. The annoyance of the sendee isn't expressed as a charge to the sender. So it's a net-positive for the sender, even if it's a net-negative for everyone involved. It's a tough problem to solve the general case, even if some specific cases have been (mostly) solved (eg: some types of pollution).

Exactly this. And same for FB. Forced moderation.

I had a video in Youtube that somehow managed to get >100k views. The comments were absolutely worthless junk. I cant even understand why would someone go write most of that stuff. Probably the only close to grammatically correct comments were the ones that asked if they could use video somewhere in some form or the other.
In an area as concrete and black/white as mathematics it’s still hard to convince some non experts that we really do know what we are talking about. Imagine how much harder it is in trying to convince anti vaxers to vaccinate. When society makes policy it’s best not to treat everyone’s opinion as equal. We are not able to always correctly deduce what is the best course of action on our own when it’s an area we have no expertise in.

I used be a fundamentalist, right wing Christian. Absolutely convinced that evolution was wrong. Eventually I was able to take the blinders off and ask myself, “Why is it that the overwhelming majority of people who study biology at the advanced level agree with evolution?”. It takes a great deal of arrogance to dismiss a conclusion that the overwhelming majority of the experts in a given area agree upon. Of course people get it wrong sometimes but we have to navigate life with imperfect information/knowledge. Who else do we rely upon? Keep in mind I’m not saying believe whatever an expert says. I’m saying that if the overwhelming majority of experts in a given area agree on something then that carries a tremendous amount of weight.

> The original civil forfeiture practices were put in place at the height of "the war on drugs" in the 80's as I recall.

No, they were in admiralty/customs law and predate the US, but came along with the body of law the US kept at it's founding.

There was some new activity around Prohibition.

Then big activity starting in 1970 around the drug war.

(That's for federal civil forfeiture, while state level civil forfeiture has the same pre-US history, the later evolution varies by state.)
I don't appreciate being threatened. This is not appropriate behavior. If you're looking to sue me, I'm happy to give you an email to talk with your lawyer. Have a nice day.
I saw the video you are talking about.

The worst part is that I disagree with his claim, or rather I don't think he makes a strong argument that these videos are _intentionally_ sexual. It looks to me like a kid doing kid stuff. I might have made the same videos at her age _but_ it is still sexualized by some people.

I am not sure what's a good solution to that could be. According to these new articles, it looks like any video showing a kid is potentially sexualized.

Banning all kids on youtube look a bit extreme and would raise its own set of problems. And at this point, just having a kid in any movie/series has the same consequences

So yeah .. not sure we can stop that. And if you are sharing timestamp of kids doing squats, you are probably too far gone that just asking you to see a psychiatrist is enough.
