I'm so happy this made the news. I signed it and I wrote to my local representative about the petition too.

I'm a 35y old guy and I was never anti-porn, I was always pro-porn. However, few weeks ago I read an article on BBC (it was posted on HN I think) about a 14y old girl being gang raped, rapists pardoned and the rape video uploaded to Pornhub. Pornhub refused to remove the video at first, they later did when the girl wrote a letter pretending to be a lawyer.

Imagine having to go through all that and still be mentally strong enough to deal with your peers mocking you and millions of strangers masturbating to the torture you went through. Imagine being the parent. Reading that article changed how I view porn. It also changed my life in a way. God knows how many videos that end up on Pornhub (and the likes) are rape or pedophilia and we don't even know it. I haven't browsed since and probably won't watch porn ever again.

These corporations need to be held responsible. If we can do it in retail and tech, then so can we regular porn industry a bit.
Not yet but we are working on it right now :)
Than why do I keep getting richer on my puts? Maybe it's because there are actually ways to make money during a crisis...

Doubtful because I bought a large monthly Pantry order yesterday that will arrive tomorrow. It may have more to do with the distance of various warehouses stocking certain items. I've ordered before where it splits up the order into different shipments that arrive on different days.

Like I said in the item text, the product category in question is completely sold out (except for questionable, expensive imports) and won't be in-stock for another week or two, which will be firmly inside the pandemic acceleration period. Instead, I went with several cases of UHT milk in 8 oz containers that were good and cheap. Powdered milk has the added costs of desiccation, whereas UHT is more/less fancy pasteurization.
Great find! True hacker news worthy.

Well, do they not? Locking you to their product, forcing you to use their product for their own gain.

Apple won't even let you repair your phone unless you go via their own dealers.

You could call communism, but there isn't any communism element to it. It's all capitalism to answer OP's question to "Why can't I install any operating system" because you can, there is nothing stopping you apart from the companies that control the product.

This is not aimed at deanCommie, but I just want to comment on the massive cognitive dissonance in effect when the issue of listing tax-included prices on individual items in America is raised.

Do none of those arguments hold anymore? Why? Because it isn't European tourists asking the question?
>Nuvia [1] is developing a chip to power cloud servers. Williams, who spent nearly a decade at Apple, says he raised the possibility of developing such technology years ago, but the idea was rejected by then-Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs, who died in 2011, and by Johny Srouji, who’s now Apple’s head of hardware technology, because they thought it would detract from the company’s work on consumer facing technology. Apple continues to hold that position today, according to Williams.

>"In 2010 [2], Williams and [co-worker Jim] Keller raised this idea with Mike Culbert, their former supervisor at Apple. Culbert suggested that they put together a presentation for Steve Jobs, pitching the idea of Apple building a server chip. Williams and Keller did so, and Culbert presented that opportunity to Jobs," the court filing reads.

"Following the meeting, Culbert reported to Williams that Apple would not be pursuing the server chip project because Jobs was only interested in pursuing Apple’s development of consumer-based products."

I dont know why anyone would think Apple is making its Desktop Class CPU for Mac. As a matter of fact, even Jim Killer tries to pitch the idea to Steve Jobs on ARM Server Chip [2] . Apple was very late into its own Datacenter play. I am not sure if the economy of scale would have worked in flavour of Apple if the Server and Mac Pro were using the same chip.

Basically I still dont think the pros are so clear. It is far easier to switch to AMD for cost saving measures and even Apple couldn't be bothered to do that.

> were you there?

Not being Nicolas Cage, I was not. However, there are many, many countries today who are similar to 19th century UK/US. Would you like to go to rural China and compare the peasant subsistence farming still happening there with urban China and its sweatshops?

> suffering is suffering.

Sure. People suffered. They suffered horribly as peasant farmers living on less than $2/day, or they suffered as laborers making possibly a bit more. Work was universally hard.

It's possible (likely) that future people will see what we went through - disease, hunger, unemployment, bad management, personal suffering/alienation and a host of other problems - and say literally the same thing about us. But although I think all of us can think of a few tweaks at the margins, we'd all utterly fail fully to replace the status quo most people accept, many try to change, a few succeed at changing and a precious few improve.

We should give the past the same courtesy we expect from future generations. And we should be willing to make some of the sacrifices today to ensure that future generations will endure. (And this includes things like ensuring the effects of climate change or nuclear weapons don't wipe us out.) The past is and forever shall be a foreign country.

Unless the market cuts in half over-night I'll have the money. That's why I have twice as much as I need in that bucket.

I've not really heard any compelling reason why I should move to a savings account. Yeah I might make more if the market takes an unprecedented long term decline, but realistically I'll make well over twice as much returns as I would that savings account.

@all2 : I've written an essay on my approach:

https://0xadada.pub/2015/11/05/a-retrospective-responsive-de...

but to summarize some of its main points:

Responsive design is:

* A process
* A relinquishing of the false sense of comfort we get when designing for a “design comp”
* An experience-first / MVP friendly approach to building dynamic, consistent and importantly a complete experience that adapts to users context
* A conduit for the flow of of communication, and much much like water, it flows into different browsers & devices, flows into robot search engine crawlers, flows into RSS feeds, flows into meta-data (hReview) parsers, flows into printers, flows into read-later tools like Web Clippings, Pocket, Instapaper and FlipBoard

Responsive Design isn’t a set of CSS features, a technology stack or a set of tools. Its when an organization decides to collaborate around a process; with accountability to the user first, to each other second, and to solve the technology last, once all important decisions have been made.
Fwiw this post comparison is pretty old. The memory usage should be the same or better these days (automatic slab rebalancing, LRU expired item crawler, chunked items, etc).
>And where is the competition? Is there anyone at all who can provide something like this?

Isn't the better question, "where is the product"? Is it a gimmick?

This looks awesome, but until I see it in action, working flawlessly, outside of the Seattle/Silicon Valley nexus, I'm not sure there will be (or needs to be) any competition.

I have to agree, with the usual caveats about anecdotal evidence, that it's awfully strange how often it seems that people accused of exfiltrating sensitive information are later discovered (I'm really tempted to write "discovered") to have child porn on their computers.
> I'm continually coming to terms with the fact that I'm not nearly as smart as some of the kids I'm in classes with.

Good social skills, especially being able to build and maintain a healthy professional network, will advance one’s career much more than purely being smart. Ideally, a given person will have both, but the social skills seem to reap much larger dividends than pure intelligence in my experience.
I think that is only problematic the first 5 times or so? After that you’ll likely trust the tech.

That's the point of this technology - to increase impulse buying.

Credit cards purpose is that it hides from you how much money you have left. If you were paying in cash and see how much money you have left in your wallet, you're more likely end up not purchasing a given item.

This is one step further, since you now don't know how much you're paying (unless you calculating the cost in your head, which most people don't do) and typically you'll know once you get a CC statement.

Note that the kiosk doesn't print the receipt, it e-mails it, which makes it even harder to instantly see what you've paid.
>As well as trusting them I also pay attention to what I see and other people see and press them to do better when they fall short.

The efficient market hypothesis is that markets are efficient to present public information.

If markets were efficient to the present value of the future price at all times, then there would be no such thing as insider trading and hedge funds would all lose money.

You can make money by making inferences about present facts, or taking views on future occurrences.
> I am in no way defending PornHub, but how exactly should it be [self] moderated?

Bad question. Moderation isn't a solution. It's in direct conflict with its bottom line.

As with anything that has serious consequences it should be regulated so that ethical considerations are followed. Porn produced should have a trail of paperwork tracking and identifying the production to individuals. Failure to have proper paperwork results people (content creator and/or distributors) being fined and going to jail. It's completely possible to produce amateur, fantasy, BSDM, MILF looking material with consenting individuals.

The problem is that sexual videos can be distributed easily and without regard (often without knowledge) of the people involved such that the work is spread long before the affected individuals can know what has been done to them. Simply put, unregulated material should be considered illegal.

This is awesome. I hope more places do this and I have to interact with the minimum number of people through the experience. It'll also be great if there were a high-end store that was for low-problem-shoppers only. i.e. I'd like a place I can shop at that can control loss through theft, etc. and pass the savings on to me.

It would be awesome if there were some sort of universal social credit score you could combine with that so that I won't have to share my store with thieves and all that.

You do not need to compress every game individually. Behind the scenes, your mainstream database is storing the data in pages, and these pages - containing many adjacent rows - can be compressed.

The compression level achieved at a page level is much higher than compressing rows individually because there is lots of repetition between rows. It also speeds up io and other good things. It is almost always good, which is why the most modern database storage engines do it and do it by default.

Consider a csv file, and compare it to the same data stored as json objects, one row per line. The uncompressed json file is going to be much bigger, as the columns are repeated in every line. But both files gzip to much the same size, because all those keys are repeated again and again and the two files have basically the same entropy.

On the other hand, compressing each line in the file individually would be a poor choice, giving relatively poor gains.

There were database engines that did row-level compression, but these performed poorly and I know of nobody who used eg innodb compression.

You use this phrase:

> ... reasonable behavior of others ...

According to whom? Every dictator thinks it's reasonable behaviour for them to crush the opposition, while those who look on, or those who suffer, will usually believe that to be unreasonable behaviour.

Someone I learned from a colleague once is this:

"No one ever thinks they are the bad guy."

So your concept or reasonable behaviour may not match mine, and you may exhibit behaviour that will upset me. That's not an opportunity for me to learn, that's an opportunity for me to seek some sort of recourse against you.

Don't be surprised if others attempt that.
From TFA:
>Shoppers can think of this as similar to typical security camera footage.

Great. Now they know not just what I bought, but also what I browsed as I was walking through the store.

How long is this footage going to be stored for, and who is it going to be sold to? If there's a crime of happenstance around the store, will everyone who purchased (or looked at purchasing) the item used in the commission of the crime be rounded up and made to prove their innocence?
However You Slice It, the Geographic Disparity in Tech Jobs Is Growing
Cash may be a perfectly fine choice, it could also be a very sub-optimal choice. Same goes for stocks, bonds, gold, etc. Of course you don't have to do it if the conditions are not right but knowing if the conditions are right is the tricky part.

In order for some people to beat the investment average by timing the market someone else must underperform the average. Active investment management is in general a zero-sum game in which you compete with a bunch of math PhDs at hedge funds that do it as a day job (and even they have a tough time). Of course you can win if your own analysis of when the conditions are right is better, but trying to do so is usually not recommended for individual investors.

Holding cash sounds simple but if it goes up from here how do you know when to buy? If it goes down from here how do you know when to buy? And if you never buy, over a couple decades you will almost certainly do worse (Japan is a different case because at the bubble peak their stocks were measurably more overpriced compared to almost anything else in history including where the US market is now). In the end I think the only simple thing is the advice most economics professors would give which is to give up trying to time the market and just buy a low-fee mixed stock/bond index portfolio (with the ratio based on your risk tolerance).
Yes, the Firefox plug-in "Certainly Something" uses the equivalent APIs in Firefox and works today, giving back a nicer version of their old "View certificate" UI only to the fraction of people who care, rather than weighing down the actual Firefox browser with more and more X.509 features most users will never need.

You probably should not encourage lay users to disable CAs they aren't using, it's like those plastic "child safety" plug inserts in the UK - kids already can't actually do the thing the insert pretends to prevent, safety shutters mandated by law in your power sockets keep tiny fingers out of the live power - but the plastic insert is exactly the perfect shape for a kid to defeat the safety protection and electrocute themselves.
just an observation, but it is pretty obvious you have never been poor or interact with poor people. That situation is a lot more common than you would think.

btw, the JS port is not perf-optimized (it's a straight compilation from haxe to js).

i hand-ported the C version [1] locally that avoids heap-allocating any objects or arrays, which makes it about 40% faster. i'm hoping it gets to replace the "official" js port at some point, but i still need to run it through all the tests [2]. if anyone is interested in helping out with this (i'm tight on time right now), i'll publish it.

initial benchmark of 100k random RGB triplets completes in 100ms in Chrome 80 and 60ms in Firefox 73, on a pretty average Core i5-7500T @ 2.70GHz. 1M triplets is 680ms in chrome and 421ms in firefox. the official JS port gets 934ms in Chrome and 545ms in Firefox for 1M triplets.

What do you mean? Is it that digital advertising, as an industry, makes a large amount of money from these DTC startups, and the implosion of these startups will mark a dramatic drop in said advertising revenue? Just clarifying. And that does seem like a real possibility, I'm inclined to agree.

I did not realize what "DTC" was until I read this article, and it's pretty much every single ad I see if I install Instagram on my phone and scroll through it. Dozens of brands that I've never heard of selling sustainable shoes, protein cereal, etc. Just a bunch of weird, esoteric, lifestyle products that you can't find at a normal store.
I could have left out the training part of my comment because it's not important to my argument (although my guess is that you'd be very surprised how many people who wear these masks in public use them extremely cavalierly and improperly).

The rest of my argument stands if you drop the part about training.
That's a false equivalence. Some terms are well-defined in phylogeny, and even among the murkier concepts (like species) almost all of them are clearer than race which basically covers a hodge-podge of sometimes contradictory concepts no one ever seems to agree on.

> Well, first I would like to point out that in your example there are three parties with the exchange being the intermediary and trading firms transacting.

The agreement to restrictions is still between two parties, but you can read it as "two classes of parties" if it makes you feel better.

> Now, your argument appears to revolve around knee jerk reaction to me saying that in real free market, the rules would not artificially prop the market. My argument is that in a true free market, the rules would not restrict it arbitrarily.

It seems like you're confused about a couple of concepts here and I think it may stem from overloading the words "free market" and the concept of "the free market" generally.

The stock exchange, like any real world marketplace, has many restrictions on trading. These make it a market that is not free in the sense that you cannot trade however or whenever you like. However, the free market is a distinct concept from any individual exchange. It means that parties involved in the open market (i.e. everyone) are able to freely exchange goods and services as they choose. This may involve entering into agreements (like contracts) that restrict future actions, but as long as those agreements are freely agreed to, this is still consistent with the concept of a free market generally. Thus, the fact the stock market has restrictions is still consistent with the concept of a free market so long as the participants freely agreed to those restrictions.

Does that clear anything up?
