The middle ground is to draw a clear distinction, both socially and legally, between sex and abuse. The criminalization of prostitution only muddies this line, and FOSTA-SESTA has served to marginalize and endanger both sex workers and sex-adjacent industries.

The 3GS came out in 2009 and that's more or less the model that made it clear the iPhone mold of smartphone was the future. (I got a Treo in 2006 but that was still very much in the carrier walled garden on phones.) However, as others have said, feature phone texting was pretty widespread in the second half of the 2000s, IM was widespread, and social media was really starting to take off.

You can quibble about exact dates but it's pretty reasonable to take somewhere around 2008 as the year for online communications hitting some sort of collective inflection point.
AFAIK in the cases of the convicted people, the Freenet stuff was only used to obtain warrants, at which points the cops captured computers and found accessible CP. I don't remember seeing anyone convicted based on the Freenet evidence alone.

Some of this you can look up on CrunchBase beforehand, which you definitely should do. For me I believe in trying to gauge just how prone to borrowing the founders are; if they have a solid model and are more inclined to seek profit rather than investment (except after proving the model, and primarily to increase growth), then that's a good sign.

If however they seem like they approach is constantly to borrow money, that's a red flag.

It's also possible some just understood the question incorrectly or confused it with something else

There are a couple of explanations being floated. First of all there where two votes, not just one, and if you wanted to vote 'correctly' against A13 you had to vote NO on the first vote and YES on the second (or vice versa to support A13), The people who voted 'wrong' voted either NO to both or YES to both.

Secondly apparently the order of voting was changed at the last minute (there where a whole bunch of things being voted on that day) so people who had written down what they where going to vote on each issue (NO,NO,YES,NO,YES,YES,NO etc.) and missed that the order had changed would end up voting wrong. Ie. they knew they wanted to vote YES on issue 27, but issue 27 was actually the 28th item voted for that day. At least two MEPs in Sweden are using this excuse.

But basically a bunch of MEPs just didn't think it was that important to pay attention to the details, phoned it in, and screwed up badly.

I’m not saying that. I’m saying you could identify a linear combination of x,y,z that approximates happiness, and by doing this for many concepts, transform the matrix into an ordered state where each dimension on its own is a labeled concept.

People are quick to claim that embedding dimensions have no meaning, but if that is your goal, and your embedding space is good, you’re not terribly far from getting there.
> I am honestly unsure what I would use a 7500sqft house for. Not even including the garden/land.

I want some land so I can plant fruit and nut trees, and build a couple raised garden beds.

> Our (me plus wife and kid) previous apartment was 900sqft, and our house is now 800sqft, and while a bit tight, this works pretty well for our family.

I couldn't do that. I lived alone in 980sf, and that felt tight. Granted, I turned my second bedroom into an electronics/computer lab and own a lot of books, but on top of that the kitchen was tiny and storage for clothes, linens, and household items seriously lacking.
Thanks for the mention - Yes, "datalog" for "everything" is the core hypothesis we are testing with Hyperfiddle.

"Datalog" we've interpreted as Datomic Query and Transaction DSL, which is basically exactly what you need for automatic tables and forms – both read side and write – and not an inch more or less.

Very small amounts of Clojure are necessary to glue it all together. React.js view layer progressive enhancement is completely optional, so that doesn't count. There is a small data model for routing (hyperlinks, like the web) and Clojure's namespaced keywords turn out to be very important as well.

Maturity – today, we think Hyperfiddle is amazing at administration dashboards, you can crank them out really fast – basically about as fast as you can think.
I'm not familiar with the timing, but it starts to look like the public campaign against trafficking happened BECAUSE of the involvement with trafficking, in a protest-too-much, absolve-my-sins, overcompensating type of way.
Going with the Flow: Waterfalls Can Form Spontaneously

As far as I know, a good differential-geometric understanding of nonequilibrium thermodynamics still hasn't been achieved.

The central issue is understanding how changes in control parameters (for instance concentrations of catalysts in a chemical system, or local fields in a spin system) affect the evolution of the probability distribution over states. Some work has been done in close to steady state (for instance [1,2,3]) but it's far from resolved.

This has some nice applications - designing efficient protocols for microscale devices, for instance.

Hi everyone!

I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on: a site that keeps the best features of content aggregation while innovating in ways that fundamentally improve the user experience.

Ever wanted to see what other people thought about a post? At Opyn.io a core feature is voting transparency: we allow users to see who exactly agreed/disagreed with you by demographic (i.e. age, gender, etc, set on an opt-in basis).

We also believe that a variety of opinions matter. We would rather be open than be an echo chamber (i.e. tyranny of the majority), and to that end, we’ve valued likes and dislikes in a way so that the top posts are not always simply the most-liked ones. At the same time, we are not necessarily a bastion of free speech – we hold everyone to a reasonable community standard.

Feel free to ask questions/let me know what you think.
Business Google Censorship Concern
Hello,

We are picking a domain name for our business, and since we are competing with a realm that Google somewhat competes in, I was wondering to what degree we should worry about being censored from search?
Dunno if they would stop if they couldn’t harvest their organs.

I received my Ph.D. in physics from Georgia Tech in 2010 doing computational studies of synchronization of coupled neurons. After a year in industry, I went off to build my own startup. It was in the social, music sharing space. I was not able to raise money, joined a startup and have been doing software engineering for the web ever since. Recently, I've been learning ML in my spare time, it seems to be a nice intersection of some of the math I learned in physics and my more recent software engineering work.

>are there any other reasons for this as well?

I love physics, but I also love a lot of other things. I was a musician well before I was a physicist. My exit from "doing physics" was driven by a desire to start my own company. I found I really enjoyed developing software for the web, it was a nice blend of technical and aesthetic.

I think the draw of physicists towards data science is because of the familiar mathematics. My experience in recruiting data scientists is that candidates that have formal degrees in data science generally have little experience outside of school. My assumption is that these degree programs are relatively new.

>Of late, except for few headline-friendly fields (colliders, quantum computing, gravitational waves and astrophysics in general), I don't get to see/relate with a lot of activities in Physics

Do you think this used to be different?
The CEO that interviewed me for my current job probably had about the same amount of "wealth" as I had. His career background was very similar to mine, and his family background was similar to mine.

Quite honestly, I don't think he had enough money to retire on the beach.
I've been considering a move to Japan. My pay would likely be several tens of thousands of dollars less (still very good, relative to the market but less than what I could command in a Western market), but it's also an opportunity to have a very different life experience.

Money vs. experience, it's really tough for me to figure out what's more important.

The suburbs are super restrictive for kids to interact. I had a friend who lived in a development that had like 1.5mi of winding roads and cul-de-sac before you hit his house. It took almost 5 minutes by car just to hit the exit of the development, which was a 45mph road without any nearby crosswalk and you'd definitely die on a bike. The place had no sidewalks either. If you don't have a license and the only means of travel is by car, what do you do? You get on facetime/videogames with your friends.

Enhancing Istio service mesh security with a CNI plugin using the Istio operator
I wrote one (experimental) bogus paper. He wrote quite a few papers, I'm not sure if any of them used the experimental non-technique that was common at the time.

So there is a theory based on the renormalization group that can explain many (but not all) "fractal" phenomena that are observed.

I was part of the false paradigm of "bin up a probability distribution", "plot it up on log-log paper", and "draw a straight line."

Sometimes when you do that you will get an answer that has something to do with reality but it is not a valid answer to the problems of: "is a power law distribution a good model of this phenomenon", "what is a good estimate of the exponent", "are these two power law charts drawn from the same distribution" not to mention how to handle the problems that turn up at the highly frequent and highly rare ends of the distribution.

The root cause is this attitude

VCs are one piece of the equation, but so is talent. Google could care less about VC money at this point, but they have large presences in Boston and New York where there's a strong local talent pool to draw from. And there's not much talent outside of certain cities, because the best talent from other areas tend to move to these cities.
I am sure the kernel has extended ad support with every 5th memory access. Exactly the same feelings toward the new OS. Not that there are too much alternatives.

But if I could chose to get Debian on my phone bundled with a crappy phone app that looks like it was developed in the last century, I would immediately pick it.

> My comment wasn't targeted at the embedded usage scenarios only.

I know, but I think that the Linux kernel developers should update their views on the impact of ignoring the embedded scenario.

> Coming from this perspective shall we stop all development on Linux kernel and userspace, so everything works?

No. Preserve the old methods so that things that used to work keep working. Microsoft does this. Windows userspace apps from 20 years ago still work in Windows 10 today despite the system having advanced significantly since then. Windows 7 hardware drivers from 10 years ago still work in Windows 10 too. New functionality doesn't need to break old functionality.

> Why Microsoft is constantly changing driver models ever so slightly

They mostly don't. See above.

> every manufacturer is updating the drivers about the cards and chips they've already developed and embedded on my motherboard, NIC, sound card, etc.?

Bug fixes. Almost never interface changes.

> While Linux kernel API is officially unstable, there's a rule in its development: if userspace breaks after a kernel patch, the problem is in the patch.

You just said userspace. What is userspace? If I can't update my kernel because it means that my camera will stop working because I only have the one binary blob for it, then the kernel has broken _my_ userspace. But that scenario is explicitly ignored because the userspace rule doesn't apply to drivers.

The Linux kernel pushes GPL virality further than it should go by effectively mandating that one of three things must happen:

1) you give them your driver code

or

2) you keep doing work to re-certify and re-release your driver (but you could just mainline your driver code, hint hint!)

or

3) billions of people go fuck themselves

Mobile device vendors choose 3 because it makes them more money by obsoleting the devices more quickly. It's time to recognize that fact.
Which examples bother you?
>In a democracy you get the state you vote for.

That is a lie. I didn't vote for the current state, and neither did majority of citizens.
Yes you will. A reduction in labor supply means wages for those roles will go up. But if everyone is willing to live in these locations for low wages, then that means they are accepting the tradeoffs of low wages for other benefits of living in the area.
To be very honest weather is the least of the concerns. Otherwise other cities wouldn't have gatherings of people.

Nobody is saying they should put all the money into turning a developing country in the USA, but maybe they can, I don't know, try other cities around the valley and not get crammed all together into one city that's naturally restricted in growth
What strategy do you use to migrate old data to new codebase? Different business logic would probably want different answers in this regard, so I doubt that there's a one size fits all solution.
Libel is much more specific than just insults. Libel entails knowingly making false statements to harm someone's reputation. It's also much harder to prove than most people think.

Someone tried to sue for calling someone a Nazi but lost [1]. In this case the defendant claimed to have been presenting a hypothetical. I have not been able to find a successful defamation case due to someone being called a Nazi in the US. Not to mention it wouldn't affect calling a black person a n____r because such a statement is not factually incorrect (as the slur is a derogatory term for a black person).

> Quoting people to negate or mock their argument has been around since Usenet - well, much longer in literary terms but I'm citing Usenet as an example of a system that's almost real-time and where it can be a spontaneous emotionally driven decision. It may not be called 'dunking' on every platform but the phenomenon is universal.

It may have occurred occasionally on other platforms, but the difference in degree is enormous enough that it's a de facto difference in kind.
Common statistical tests are linear models (or: how to teach stats)
Love it. This could be a huge innovation and really push the dream of cross platform development to the next level.

I believe we need explicit housing mandates in the way we have parking mandates. Except this time, we'll be creating a more universal public good.

Just as how parking requirements make it much easier to find parking in high density and otherwise crowded areas, housing requirements will do the same for housing. A lot of folks on the public housing side of the debate want to decomodify housing through public ownership, but it would be far more effective if we just mandated housing be a part of every commercial development project nation wide.

This would be good for so many reasons ranging from better land use to much more abundant housing.

Additionally, zoning codes should be a state or federal system, as this would make it much easier to build economies of scale around housing development. But the placement of those zones/codes should still remain in the hands of local muncipalities, as no municipality should be able to protect their right to certain types of euclidian zoning.
I’ve sort of done the move. If you are not ethnically Chinese and speak the language, there will be a few things to get used to. The degree will depend a bit on where you end up.

For example:

- pollution can be a big problem.

- if Chinese company, work culture can be very different. More top down, longer hours etc.

- noisy. Most places you go in big cities you are surrounded by noise. Cars, people, construction. It doesn’t end.

- I find the general quality of things to be lower. Buildings are poor quality generally. Side walks aren’t as maintained. A lot of things look nice from a distance only.

- internet obviously. Things are blocked and vpn can be flaky.

- many every day things will be more difficult. Banking, medical care etc. On the other hand many things are also much more convenient. Food delivery, transportation (unless you want to drive yourself) etc

There are pros too of course. You get to learn about a different culture and language. You’ll be relatively wealthy compared to most people there. It’s really easy to meet new people.

In the end I’d say move there if there is a good reason: Higher salary, better opportunity you wouldn’t normally have or if you just want a change / adventure AND you can live with the cons, at least for a while.
