Eh. Plenty of people buy iPhone Xsen even though it is 3x the price of competent midrange phones. Another 1.5x multiplier on a $1200 Xs Max doesn’t seem like an insane deal to me for the added feature if you’re a mobile media consumer.

Maybe Samsung has learned from Apple: the profits won’t be found down-market.
What exactly is "all this stuff"? Photos of her playing?

I think about things she might actually be concerned about, but I see no reason she should be concerned about it, so no I'm not going to worry about it. If I was concerned, it might be about "should I put her in a dress or have her wear pants?" Because if she is wearing a skirt, someone could see her underwear, god forbid. YouTube or not.

At least on YouTube, it's pretty hard to follow someone home like can happen in the real world (e.g. Jayme Closs).

You know what I spend my efforts worrying about? Her getting hit by a car. Drowning. You know, real things.

I wonder if you could use this to make an OnionSync. Like Syncthing but perhaps simpler to use because of global addressing and no need to configure between nodes. (Though I've only briefly looked at Syncthing.
IIRC you may make higher demands on your own country, but cannot restrict goods from foreign markets that meet the EU criteria (that's the entire point after all). It can get a bit weird.

For example, IIRC Dutch laws regarding for cheese production safety are more strict than what EU laws require, with mandatory weekly testing for bacterial growth. However, any cheese meeting EU laws is allowed to be sold on the market.
I really like this concept. First Investors often face the follow up dilemma when they cant join a follow up round and get squeezed out with much a lower valuation. Am I right that this wont happen to you because your earning share is basically just a position on cost side? Or could that even be an obstacle for follow up rounds?
That’s ironic. A product intended to solve one major fault in the laptop caused another one.
What does monetization have to do with any of this, except as a hook to attack youtube and bait advertisers to respond? Monetization is entirely irrelevant to the problematic issues at play.
Since the mention of P2P traffic comes up, can you maybe mention the differences are between what you want to achieve and a P2P network with a payment system included into it? I'm honestly just curious...

My first and ongoing thought reading here was: "this sounds they want to build a P2P service like Bittorrent". Tje only difference is that you seem to want to include a payment mechanism into it.

Different note: how do you plan to verify original ownership of material? So of I upload copyrighted material of content, does that allow me to get paid for someome else's work? And if the original content creator uploads the same material, how do plan on validating originality of the content?
It's legal to build your own guns.

3d printing isn't that sophisticated considering you can build a working AR with off the shelf parts, a drill press, and a hand router.
Foldable devices like this won't remain $2,000. It's not replacing anything today. Tomorrow it will when you can buy good devices that are comparable for $600 or $700 and Samsung is forced to compete on price.
Because when Swedish politicians push for stupid laws they can be revoked while campaigning for it. The politicians will care, because the politicians are the ones who risk not getting elected if they ignore the issue. If the EU decides on a directive that people don't like, then the only way to get it revoked would be for Swedish people to start campaigning foreign politicians, who they cannot vote for.
I thought it was for the same reason humans have stripes: http://mentalfloss.com/article/65092/our-skin-covered-invisi...
Yea, that's a fair point, it's not insurmountable. I responded to apr mentioning something similar but ultimately the point I'm making is mostly that the upper requires a small machine shop filled with mostly commodity tooling and the lower requires a file and a drill press or a cheap 3D printer.
I mean, most governments have fingerprint databases that are linked to identities. Some governments hire contractors to take care of that.
At work so can't watch videos on rifling a barrel, but can this tooling also be DIY'ed? I imagine rifling is 'just' a matter of using a very thin, very long cutter on a suitable lathe, but then I would think it would be pretty hard to make such a cutter yourself.
Yeah, whoever made those articles are the ones sexualizing innocent videos. Makes you think...
My strategy was to pay attention to the lighting conditions. the fake ones fall within a recognisable averaged out distribution, and a photo with lighting that is an "outlier" is easy to spot as real. E.G. Dark blue mood lighting. Overexposed features. Glare in the eyes.

a lot of the fake ones also have a recognisable skin gloss.

I agree that his opinions re women are sometimes contradictory. I can only make assumptions about the man and the times that created the man.

1. His free love and ideas about open marriage refreshing. I do have a dim view of the notion of ‘marriage’ as we know it and I am not sure if its the same as Heinlein’s POV re marriage.

2. In a way, he celebrated marriages and multiple unions but it is rather peculiar in that he didn’t see that as female empowerment as feminists would see it because of his view of the role of ‘women’ and his celebration of motherhood.

3. The rape of Friday Jones and her sexual aggressiveness and the bizarre notion that she would end up with her rapist. I don’t know if a female author would have ended the story like that. Friday was a peek into a future with Heinlein eyes ..he did that a lot...sometimes his books were a collection of ideas rather than scenes or even a plot... imagining futures and that’s why he is awesome. But sometimes his gender was painfully obvious. Friday was an example.

4. On another note, he did un-humanize Friday. She was AP..she wasn’t human. She was not a human female afterall. But in the end, she had to embrace indiginities of human females to be one of them.

5. Heinlein’s girls in the Juvenile series grow up to be the same confident achieving women in the books for adults, but they wear this aggressive sexual mantle that sits uncomfortably and seems artificial. He is likely projecting his own male desires upon a female character. His female characters are almost male in their sexual proclivities. It’s jarring and awkward.

It’s not unlike...in a more benign way..Hollywood where the industry just doesn’t know how to write female characters. There is either ‘chick-flicks’ or flat two dimensional women created by male writers.

I often wonder..can I flesh out a male mind with my words if I were a writer? That would be difficult. Even if I were to have a great understanding of the male of the species, I cannot possibly encompass all the types. I would have to resort to borrowing from archetypes.

Heinlein created his own female archetype but they acted like men. (I think he was able to confront that in I fear no evil.

6. Incest with pedophilia. Very uncomfortable. Even like when it was LL with his own clones. Sometimes he comes across as an apologist for adult-child sex.

7. I find the idea of group marriage appealing, but have a dim view of ‘marriage’ itself. While a lot of his views are mind expanding and forward thinking, when you stumble upon the suspicion that it is likely an old man’s dirty fantasies especially in light of his women all wanting to be baby making machines, it throws you off.

8. I don’t know how to divorce Heinlein, the visionary from Heinlein, the horny old man with dirty fantasies. Is he one or the other? Is he both? Can I hug the one without feeling icky about the other?
>Yes, and that's bad.

How is that bad? It's possible to change the law afterwards. With the EU it's basically impossible. Swedes would have to lobby politicians from a foreign country that they can't vote for nor can they speak the same language. That's terrible.

>Copyright is clearly is one of those things that needs to be tackled at a level of government higher than the local town council, especially if you have an open market. Imagine a world where a movie made in LA wasn't protected by copyright in New York, let alone Toronto, Paris, or Singapore.

But it has been protected on a higher level since the 19th century. Almost every country in the world is a signatory to the Berne convention.
Even if this supposed physiological response exists, that doesn't make the content any less fundementally pornographic.
That's unfortunately totally wrong. Good movies rarely get released, for decades.

I'm professional film critic and I have a good idea of the data, because I analyze the feedback from festivals and industry experts, who decide what gets released and what not. From the Top 10 typically only 3 get selected.

The selection criteria has nothing to do with the quality of the movie and rarely the quality of the trailer, even if it's more important.

Most important are the names. Hollywood divides the Actors and Directors into A+, A, B+, B and C. Without an A name you'll have a hard time to get financing and proper distribution.

2nd most important criteria is the marketing power. How much money will be spent on marketing. If the distributor is not sure he'll try smaller tactics, like smaller releases, with the risk to earn much less. Most important is only the first weekend. Really good movies without names rarely exist, which can drive marketing by its own. Only these movies can survive a bad opening and raise slowly over the weeks to get profitable.

Hollywood knows exactly the triggers beforehand, that's why they can get away with so many formulaic and simple movies still bring profitable. There's not much need for ML, just counting the numbers and trusting the experts is enough. In this case, if a trailer works for which group is certainly helpful though. With trailers you get better feedback than from test screenings, but not much better feedback than from experts.

No, that's a common mistake. In fact, there can be causation without a sentient causal entity.

Zebras have stripes because their stripes shoo away flies, which helped previous generations of zebras who had stripes thrive and pass their genes forward.
Why do zebras have stripes? Because they shoo flies away and evolution ensured that that helpful trait kept passing through descendants until every zebra had it as a dominant, visible trait.

No one ever said there had to be "someone" somewhere to paint zebras black and white, that's just you using anthropomorphized evolution as a straw man/entity.
If this is the same video we're talking about, he 'just' melted down the beer cans into a block of aluminum and then machined a lower from it, right? (and he also made a video where he melted down spent brass and machined an AR lower from it) If so, that melting down can be done using $15 of home depot materials (metal bucket, thermal insulation wool or cement, 2 propane burners)

(DIY metal smelting/foundries are a great way to waste a few hours watching Youtube videos)

It seems to me that the fold is more of a tight bend rather than a crease, with the hinge width keeping it from fully folding.

I'm still skeptical of the screen surviving long-term wear too, but I'd imagine they've tested this with countless repetitions with some robot.
Sorry, but none of that is sexual, let's get to it point by point:

-Police costumes aren't sexual

-Whispering isn't sexual

-Date jokes aren't sexual

-Point Of View camera angles aren't sexual

-Being male is not sexual (if it was a female, you could flip the argument and claim it's for lesbians)

-Omitting name isn't sexual

-Arresting people with handcuff isn't sexual

-Makeup and press on nails aren't sexual

-Finally, keeping immersion that it's the viewer isn't sexual, because this would require something else to be.

What I think is happening, and I could be wrong, but, perhaps you've watched porn with a similar setup about some policegirl fetish? Your brain can't but associate the two and see them as the same? You've seen setups like this that the only way you can imagine for the video to continue is of the sexual kind?

Nothing alarming is actually happening. And I didn't notice her chest area was open until you pointed it out, so the video isn't the problem.
For people who just saw the title or have seen joke tweets on Twitter, it's a bit misleading. The article does a good job of outlining what's really happening. License plates have always been customizable to a certain extent (like, adding a sports team), the emojis aren't officially part of the license plate numbers. They're just an image, which happens to be an emoji, that can be placed next to the license number.

I think a lot of dystopias arise from Rousseau-style or blank-slate naturalism - the idea that humans are naturally good (or that they can be easily socialised to be naturally good).

A dystopian ruler does not believe they are destroying humanity, they believe they are rescuing humanity from some exogenous menace, whereas a more Hobbes-inspired ruler believes themselves to be rescuing humanity from itself.

If humans are only evil because they are brainwashed by capitalism, or patriarchy, religion, or royalty, or lizardmen, or the government, or some other menace then any brutality used to purge this evil is both justified and a temporary state of affairs. On the other hand, if you assume that some people are just a little bit naturally anti-social then trying to fight this (through either soft measures like education, or hard measures like punishment) is only justified if the the tangible benefits (not the promise of some eventual Utopia) exceed the costs.

I'm not sure what you're asking. The argument was attempting to use a similarity to establish the pornographic nature of the content. My point was that a loose similarity doesn't prove his claim.

Establishing a criteria for pornography is hard, but the usual metric seems relevant: designed to sexually arouse and otherwise devoid of value. But roleplay ASMR content presumably isn't designed to sexually arouse, and has other value for those who experience a physiological ASMR response from it.
"saying they don't work is bizarre"- that it doesn't work is pretty much exactly what the article says, and it's true, as long as "work" is defined as not turning your eyes red.

Shock is useful for raising the total chlorine concentration in the pool, which is useful for discouraging bacteria, but it'll boil off in a day. If you have more amines to tie up chlorine than you add chlorine, bacteria and algae grow because the shock doesn't become "free chlorine".

UV light removes chlorine from the pool, but similarly does little to remove amines.

Dumping the water in a pool uses an equivalent amount of water to watering a similarly sized lawn over the course of as little as a few months. It's not free, but it distorts the overall scale of usage to bring up water restrictions.

A fresh fill of pool water has no amines in it, and consumes very little chlorine at the municipal level (which boils off quickly). Just because something is "produced in vast quantities industrially" doesn't make it cheaper than water. It's not. Hypochlorite tablets and shock are, like aluminum, essentially solid electricity.

No. You are conflating "valuation" with "value". Let me give you an example.

My company has 10 shares total and I manage to get you to buy one of them for $100. The logical conclusion is that the shares are worth $100 each and the company is worth $1000. You hold 1 share, and I hold 9 shares. I also have the $100 you gave me. So one can say that you bought 10% of the company at a $1000 valuation.

But let's say I don't do anything at all with the money you gave me and I had no other money to begin with. What that means is that you have 1 share and I have 9 shares and $100. If we liquidated the company now, you would get $10 back and I would keep $90. The company has a value of $100.

Now let's say that somebody is really interested in buying shares. I give you the OK to sell your share and somebody offers to buy it for $10,000. You sell your share for $10,000 (10% of the company). The logical conclusion is that the other 9 shares are worth $90,000 and the whole company has a valuation of $100,000. But I still only have $100 in the bank :-)

Now, let's say that encouraged by the huge profit you made, you buy 4 shares at $20,000 each from me. The valuation of the company is logically $200K because there are 10 shares and the last time someone bought some it was for $20K each. You own 40% of the company. I own %50 of the company and they person who bought the original share from you owns %10 of the company. The company has $80,100 in the bank. You try to sell your 4 shares now, but nobody wants to buy. The shares have a nominal value of $8,010 each ($80,100 / 10 shares), but nobody feels like buying. Your shares are worth 0 because I control the company and don't want to liquidate. Basically, I conned you into giving me $80,100 :-)

Shares are worth what other people are willing to pay for them. Whether or not someone will be willing to buy your shares back for the current "valuation" of the company depends a lot on the circumstances. Whether you are even able to sell your shares depends on agreements you made, etc, etc. You can easily have a company with a $1 billion valuation whose stock is worth less than toilet paper in reality.

Companies that are pre-IPO are really ripe for the hype machine. You generally can't trade their stock except at a "liquidation event". You can invest in them, and their valuation might climb, but you can actually realise any of that profit. If they pull a Theranos on you, then you lose all of that money. Once a company has IPOed, the stock is traded freely on the stock market. Since it is liquid, you are more likely to be able to sell your stock close to its current valuation. Keep in mind that this is still not the same as value -- stocks usually trade a prices of multiples of the current value (because people believe the companies will increase in value over time).

Edit: I have trouble multiplying by 4... :-P
It's not comparable. A right turn on red is allowed at traffic lights in the US, unless signposted otherwise. A left turn on red is disallowed at traffic lights in Australia, unless signposted otherwise.

I think the latter (default disallowed) is safer, because the sign permitting turn on red states that the turn is only permitted after stopping. On the other hand, drivers in the US blow through their right turns on red, usually not stopping, and with impunity.
Well, I'm looking at it, and considering how the EU basically has almost no major tech companies, I would say that the EU is not really serving its purpose. Even right now different parts of the EU are region locked into different services. Eg sometimes the Baltic states are clumped in with CIS. Add on the many additional regulations and the EU seems to be a worse place to launch a service than in most developed places in the world.
The only problem that would solve is braindead code like

doThis();

which is absolutely absurd to pass even basic code review. Even most compilers (clang, GCC, etc.) will warn you about that.

What omitting curly braces after `if` statements does do is make code ~1% more readable, which can have massive cumulative positive results in security and stability with a multi-million line codebase.
