Thanks! removed the "Show HN" label.
I am not sure you can legally pay someone a taxable amount of money in the United States[1] without knowing their real name. Porn sites like PornHub probably don't have the real life info for performers who are employed by an adult film studio, but in those cases, the adult film studios definitely have that info. For anyone who publishes their own content directly to PornHub and monetizes it, it's likely PornHub has to have their real information.

I was worrying about this, specially your latest edit, when i mentioned cleaning up. We could limit to very new additions though just in case. I know that there's maybe no reason to think that this random additions are any worse than the random+selected pieces that were coding before, but just seems ugly somehow.
Assuming you're over-concentrated in equities, yeah. But if you're under-invested in equities, this would be a decent time to start getting more. No telling when the market will bottom out though, so as always be careful.

Amazon effectively leveraged investment capital to do exactly what they said they would do - innovate, learn into the market, and improve iteratively. From investors' perspectives (and probably consumers' perspectives as well), Amazon has succeeded brilliantly.
We simply don't have the data to back that up. And unless you are a domain expert, you wouldn't be able to reliably come to that conclusion even if we had.

I do. I think in my last ten purchases from an Apple Store I've only not had a zero-interactivity experience once. And that was because a Genius had get a Thunderbolt 2 to USB-C cable from the back. Even then, once she handed it to me, I still checked out on my phone with the Apple Store app.

You'll have to line up and take a number. Sick and tired of people downplaying this. That's what really will make this thing worse. Much worse. Italy is like a war zone right now.

"Social security could have it's date of insolvency extended. It's currently predicted to be insolvent by 2037."

The US Federal government has both a literal and a figurative money printing press. Congressional appropriations create money. Revenue is an obsolete concept for currency issuers. As a Federal program, it is literally impossible for the program to be "insolvent". Social Security benefits can be paid at full rates for as long as Congress decides to do so.

How about "deaths / actual cases"?

This number would be smaller than both of the ones you mentioned, unless you think that somehow all actual cases are detected.
Certificate Transparency means SSL certs must have been logged to public CT log databases to be considered valid.

I don't think it's a stretch to be honest, the thing is, while he might be completely guilty of leaking and the CIA know just can't prove. He wen't up against the CIA. This is a body who has the ability (allegedly of course) to restructure other governments.

If it is a bogus charge.. Would anyone here really be surprised ? I mean really ?

I don't think the people who would say : 'Nah wouldn't surprise me' are tinfoil hat wearers.

EDIT: That's really not to say that the CIA is not important.. It's just not out of the realm of possibility that someones ego/butt would be hurt about the leaks.
I think that might have opened them up to even more press. It would have also made the next investor not be as keen as to why Sequoia was pulling out in the first place... Looks like they weighed all their options and went with the one which would cause the least pain to them and the company.
>In hindsight it seems obvious that the play was to "AWS" the whole thing: make yourself the first/best customer, nail the implementation, then sell it to the world.

It's not just about "AWS"-ing the thing. It's about gaining access to all of the transaction data and marrying that to what Amazon already knows about you. A retailer like Walmart would NEVER use this tech, they know their data is one of the most valuable things they have (in fact they don't share their data with anyone, while all the other FDM retailers do), but boutique retailers like J Crew or whoever would happily.
IBM was playing with this for sure.

Certainly. However, it is more than just asking an existing portfolio company - I think that any solid VC firm would / should have skipped a potential-conflict-of-interests-deal regardless of an opinion by said portfolio company. It is the VC side's due diligence after all.
How does this compare in cost to startups using justworks that has better negotiating power for cost savings in the insurance even with low amount of employees?
Ok, well that helps the case of FB even more, but there have been quite a number of reports indicating that CA did not in fact delete the data as requested. If you have a public reference that indicates they did, that'd be great. This entire issue seems to be about 'misinformation and narrative' not actual facts.
> Where’s the evidence anyone will actually use this thing?

Well, who knows how much interest will truly materialize, particularly given the data leaked to amazon, but the post claims/implies that retailers reached out to Amazon and were interested in licensing the technology.
Competent career people say stupid things like don't buy up all the masks because we'll run out if you do. The population's obvious reaction was to buy all the masks.

True, though that's a very perverse incentive, as you're suggesting PornHub's best bet is to waste as much of their users' time as possible in getting to the right video, without frustrating them enough that they leave the site and go elsewhere. I suppose they'd get more search-page-result ad displays in, but arguably it makes them a worse porn site. The fact that they're the by-far most popular suggests that they don't provide a worse experience than other sites.

(I know PornHub releases a lot of statistics annually, I am sure average time for a user to... achieve their goal on the site for the day... is a figure they have released before.)

Something that poses the same order of magnitude risk as the flu should be responded to/reacted to in the same order of magnitude as the flu.

So far 80,000 people have died this flu season alone. If you're not hoarding canned goods for influenza, you shouldn't hoard canned goods for nCoV-19.

Ask HN: Ever met cool engineering problem while doing Internationalization?
I worked as a RoR and JS developer on several codebases that involved I18n, and my conclusion so far is that it is better to avoid such multi-lingual projects because there is nothing interesting to learn/meet from engineering point of view (unless there are other aspects unrelated to I18n). For a developer, I18n in codebase just means manual boring work that cannot be avoided or automatized. Occasionally, there are funny glitches, when people unfamiliar with the domain copy&paste translations via google translate, but that is all.
But maybe I am wrong and there are some interesting engineering problems other people have met and addressed while dealing with I18n?
I can't speak about Lambda and I've got concerns about the incentives of the bootcamp business.

We don't have the surge capacity necessary to handle this outbreak. That's the bottom line and will be the trigger for shutting down everything else in an attempt to lessen the load on overburdened hospitals.

And it's not just beds. It's personnel too. CDC is preparing for 96MM cases. 5% hospitalization is already 4.8MM beds spread out over a couple months.

Not to mention if you don't quarantine the cases in the hospital already sick people are going to get the virus and likely die. This is a logistical nightmare.
Wordpress is awesome except for gutenberg. They shouldn't have gone down that route.
>Most droplet born viruses are very contagious (e.g. efficiently infect a target).

Is that your own co-relation?

For e.g. Influenza Type B versus Influenza type C. Type C is not as contagious and the seasonal flu vaccine does not cover it.

>Rubeola, pertussis, and TB are all incredibly infectious (R0 > 10) because they are truly airborne. They essentially can survive and still be very infectious in a desiccated form that can float in the air for a long time.

Being contagious doesn't directly co-relate to being equally harmful. For e.g. Most healthy adults can easily deal with TB. The numbers shift, but approximately over 40% of the Indian population is infected with TB.
> Only consider buying stocks when nobody but nobody thinks it's a good idea. When "buy the dip" has utterly left the popular vocabulary. When dividends + valuations are at bargain-basement levels.

I would say the above is definitely true for certain sectors of the market now. Energy (oil & gas) comes to mind. Perhaps banks and emerging markets too.

The broad market, on the other hand, isn't even down 20% yet.
I worked on a team responsible for image assets. I recall the web team asking for webp support from our image server. I suppose nowadays using `srcset` you can get some optimization in the ratio between file size and quality while still providing fallback for unsupported browsers. Given our image service was dynamic (e.g. it generated then cached images at different sizes, qualities, etc from a single high-res source) adding a new format wasn't that difficult. It meant that the image heavy pages would display more quickly which was a concern especially for mobile. So I am a big supporter for more and better formats.

That being said, this AV1 vs. HEVC / AVIF vs. HEIF stuff feels eerily similar to HLS vs. DASH. It's not like these formats have drastically different properties (e.g. GIF vs. JPG vs. PNG) - they are all quite similar. I just want to fast-forward time until whichever one is going to win is standard. It's like VHS vs. Betamax or Blueray vs. HD-dvd. Please just get it over with.
I agree with you. I believe the biggest problem with indexification is that it encourages a generic flow of money into the market, regardless of whether the market can handle it or not. Although the market isn't just gambling, and there is real underlying value, it's not an infinite source of value to give returns to anybody buying into it. Eventually there can be too much money chasing too little corporate earnings, and the market gets overpriced.

I don't think it's unreasonable for a person with spare cash to expect to get a reliable 5% or so long term just from the inevitable progress of technology. That may not continue forever, but if it ends, the problems will be bigger than just what index fund to purchase. The world will be a very different place.

(Or the market could be, if people stop seeking to raise capital there, but that's also a very different future and hard to predict.)
Publishing software is protected expression in the place I am writing it, so I will absolutely be surprised if others attempt that: it would be illegal under the laws in this place.
Modern grain varieties don't resemble their heritage counterparts. Modern wheat (since the 70's) sees something like 19x the immune response. As to seed oils, frankly I just don't see a need to support heavily processed and refined foods in general, in particular margarine and vegetable shortening.

As far as over-eating and meal frequency... hormones are part of the calculation, you can clear more calories with less hormone response in fewer meals. If you look at tribal cultures with a food abundance (near coastal fish) would only eat once a day or so. Spiking glucose/insuline more times a day isn't so great in general.

I think we're mostly on the same page... I'm more than happy to see people eat more from whole plant meals with a more nose to tail approach to meat consumption. Not to mention a huge a shift in the types and qualities of meat and fish.

I think the level of refined sugars, oils and modern grains are a big problem... so is, for that matter, poorly raised animals and mono-farming in general. Optimizing for yield and efficiency seems to have lost a lot along the way imo.

One aside, while some can eat massively in a single meal... it's very hard for most people to overeat in a single meal. Harder still to do it consuming meat/eggs/fish and greens. Calories count, calories are king in terms of what we eat... and hormone response is queen.
Could it be that the E part of the P/E Ratio is currently also significantly inflated? For the tech sector I could definitely see that happening due to the influx of VC money, causing unsustainable b2b spend on cloud&ads, which currently show up as earnings for FAANG but may quickly subside when VCs pull out?
J2ME is a full Java with GC etc. It's just missing some standard library features.

Maybe there isn't a moral high ground here?

You can't sign a contract that allows someone to murder you -- there's case law supporting that.

But you can sign a contract that limits your future ability to speak freely.

Regardless of what case law says about this, a lot of people appear to feel that this really shouldn't be a thing, particularly when there's a large power imbalance between the parties, and when the more powerful party is obviously trying to hide evidence of malfeasance, embarrassing secrets, etc.

What is the moral thing to do if you're the less powerful party and you feel that your counterpart is acting immorally in offering you a contract like this?

Maybe the moral position is not to take the money.

Maybe it's okay to take the money and leak it anyway (assuming you think you can get away with it), because your counterpart is already irredeemably unethical, and all you can do is try to make the best of a bad situation.

I don't think it's always so clear cut. Contracts shouldn't always be considered sacred.
>The unit economics of most of these companies just don't add up.

VCs have been playing the loss leader game...thats why the metrics always go to growth. Hey we grew x% this week/month/year, they never mention how the "growth" simultaneously leads to bigger losses. Instead its always, we can turn off the growth whenever we want and then is pure profit.

It seems like it makes no sense and this could never work, but they don't need to make a profit, they just need big growth numbers, a cult like buy in of the brand, and then unload it on the public while cashing out.

Last Thanksgiving, I visited my parents in the town where I lived before college, and we went to the Whole Foods where we used to shop at all the time.

It looked basically the same, except that there were these huge, bright blue Amazon Prime ads everywhere. It felt vaguely dystopian—a store of my youth invaded by the giant tech monolith.

If Amazon is trying to not noticeably change Whole Foods, they're doing a pretty lousy job.

It may be economically infeasible for them to moderate, but economics is not a "get out of ethics free" card. IMHO, we've gotten too comfortable with tech companies passing the buck on negative externalities that they create or profit from.

We wouldn't accept a "can't do it, not economically feasible" answer from an industrial chemicals company that's been asked to stop polluting a river, and I don't see why PornHub should be any different.
