I am in no way defending PornHub, but how exactly should it be [self] moderated?

Can we use AI to detect underage and drunk people? PornHub already uses some computer vision technology to recognize kind of sex taking place and put time-codes on video. What are limitations of this technology? Can CV detect drunk person and not confuse facial expressions with an orgasm? We have seen epic failures of fully automated AI in our industry, like YouTube taking down videos with birds signing for DCMA copyright violations. Also, consent and legal age are defined very differently across the world and even within US. Which jurisdiction to refer to and why? Video can be legal for one web site visitor and illegal for another one at the same time. What to do in that case?

Can we have some kind of feedback form to report video as... what exactly? Private? Leaked? Amateur videos are very common. Independent models make a living from posting videos. Any feedback system will be abused by competing content providers, which are private persons mostly, not legal entities. So reporting party should take selfie for identification or what exactly?

What about all hard core BDSM content, when modeling non consensual sex is the very goal. Are we gonna ban BDSM? What about all fetishes, which may include underage sex fetish, rape play, etc. which when performed by adults is legal. Will computer vision recognize these exceptions? Will people do? Should we make people make final decisions? YouTube moderators deal with mental issues. Honestly, I have no idea what kind of terrible job should be moderating porn videos.

I understand that PornHub makes money, violates privacy and should be regulated, but without sane solution we'll just punish everyone without really solving the problem. New keywords will be coined to search for specific content, that's it. We already have lots of them, like MILF, ATM, DP. We'll get just DT for drunk teen, that's it. And when it'll get banned (for instance "rape" is a banned word on PornHub), another keyword will be coined.
Hmm... you may be on to something. In the recommended feed was Toto's "Africa" remastered with AI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqtBdKP_FPs

The lyrics do indeed sound crisp as if they were re-recorded, which is impossible. Anyone know if this was really done with AI, and what this field is called (music restoration?)

The video is uploaded on some random spanish channel and I can't find any information about it by searching.

This is completely untrue. Legal cases already have the concept of intent and liability. Section 230 provides blanket immunity for abuses that would otherwise be clearly defined as criminally negligent or willful behavior.

For example, without Section 230, one could define dang removing a harmful post shortly after it was flagged (usually within hours, I imagine) as best effort for a two-man moderation team, and find that PornHub, one of the most valuable web properties in the world with a significant amount of manpower, taking several weeks to take down a child porn video criminally negligent, and holding the company responsible. (Arguably, SESTA-FOSTA already enables the latter, as Section 230 no longer applies to sexual exploitation of children.)
Like how I looked at the S&P 500 in my comment?

And it's gotten worse, here's an update from CNN:

"The S&P 500 fell by 7.7%, blowing through the first circuit-breaker level that it tripped minutes after trading opened for the day. The S&P 500 is on pace for its worst day since December 1, 2008, when stocks fell by just over 9%.

The Nasdaq was down "only" 6.7%."

You’re still placing a shitload of trust into Google if you’re relying on their binaries to keep your data private.
They get searched because Apple devices cost hundreds to thousands of dollars.

If all the store sold was usb charging cables, there wouldn't be any searches.

Unless the grocery store is selling tins of caviar, the problem is simply not at the same magnitude.

Any other concerns about cheating the system for thefts are as ludicrous as people worrying about people shooting drones out of skies with shotguns or hijacking self-driving trucks.
It also ensures you can come back up after an unexpected shutdown.
IIRC, it is common for houses to be inherited after the owner’s death, and the tax basis is inherited with the house.

As such (at least in my area on the Central Coast), many of these houses just become (high) market rate rentals with no change in tax status.

I could be wrong about this, but I know some people who own some properties in the area who tell me that’s the case.
“My client believed it was a ‘just walk out’ store, your honor”

-Attorney defending future shoplifting case.
Thank you. I'm in the UK, I'll have to find out if we have similar rules here but broadly speaking my initial reaction is that this legislation is a bad thing and platforms should all be considered publishers and required to moderate the content they make available.
I was a cashier in college for several years. Your scenario happens far more than 0.0001% of the case. It's fairly common amongst poor people. Then there are items that aren't acceptable for use by food stamps and must be paid for separately. Then there is WIK and trying return WIK items for cash refunds. You also have people who misread the labels. Then there are items that aren't in the right place and the label says a price different than what the register says. For instance, "Cambell's Tomato Soup" can is misplaced in the "Cambell's Healthy Alternative Tomato Soup" location. Most people don't carefully read labels of the items on the shelf. They just assume that the label under the item is correct.
Why Walking Meetings Work
Stores have problem with pricing all the time. If you don't look at your receipt when buying things at the grocery store, you are going to be overcharged sometimes. Especially at stores that don't have a "Over charged and you get it free" policy. Pricing problems are even more common when a new store opens. This tech is going to make mistakes all the time for quite awhile. I would definitely want to see a list of the items and prices the system charged me for before I left the store.
That would be very unlikely and easily reversed based on video data.
Covid-19 Simulator
It is a scam to inflate the stock price by posting constantly improving (fake) revenue numbers and reporting them at earnings calls and conferences. Not just the fees made by fake accounts but also signing auto loan customers for duplicative insurance, signing up for credit cards, etc.--all to show that more people are using their services and gain investor confidence.
I understand your point of view, but I would phrase it more like:

"Why are Germany and France not worse off than Italy despite having looser quarantine measures and an earlier start to their outbreaks?"

And I still haven't heard an answer which comes close to justifying Italy suspending its citizens' rights. But that's fine; it won't matter in a few months, and we're approaching an easy opportunity to make money and travel smart as the herds follow their predictable migrations.

I just wish that people were less eager to give our fundamental rights away over this; history shows that they are unlikely to come back once they are surrendered. I'm already tired of the CBP shutting down entire 80mph interstates to search every vehicle passing through; where does this end?

Anyways, arguing about it is just something to do while everything is shut down, eh? :)
I don't disagree with your read, but you are certainly trying to time here.
Sickle-cell anemia is heritable, not transmitted. The interesting thing is that they're less susceptible to malaria, because sickle-cell anemia has protective effects against it. And malaria is a transmissible disease.

It wouldn’t strike me as entirely unreasonable to require distributors to keep records in the same way producers do. Alternatively, know-your-customer style identity verification for uploaders would work.

Sure, that would preclude some of the amateur porn and likely reduce the scale of pornography online.

As it is now, people are harmed by not only being raped, but again when video of it appears online. Pornhub should face consequences at about the same scale of “pain” when they fail to adequately vet an upload.

That way, the harm created by their business is internalized. And if it turns out the business is unsustainable under those terms, than maybe it was never meant to be.

I’m pretty sure that’s where the law will be trending over the medium-term future, and it’s the industry’s own fault of not even caring enough to react to complaints within reasonable amounts of time.
The Japanese economy and especially its financial markets were completely insane in the '80s. As in, large scale structural problems; some investors were "too important" to lose money so the brokers would reimburse them. See also the "Lost Decade(s)". (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Decade_(Japan).) The Nikkei's decline cannot be described as a normal "downturn".

But, useful inferences for the current market are left to the reader.
I don't think you understand how this works.

The analog to UAC on Android is permissions, which work pretty similarly to ios. You could argue that the user gets used to just clicking agree and that not much is gained for the average user.

Sideloading apps and unlocking the bootloader is much different. It requires the user to actively go through the settings to enable the options, which would only happen if the user knew what they were doing in the first place. And after you try to enable the settings, you are bombarded with warnings before the settings actually apply.

An app can't trick you into flipping these switches. Most of them are actually hidden in developer mode anyway.

I challenge you to prove these have ever been a vector for attack. It's just not practical.

The security lost is zero, and the freedom gained is immense.
yes, this if why you can choose who to follow...
Oh they will, but it'll be the minimum number of checkout lanes and you'll have to wait 15 minutes in line.

That's my experience at my local Walmart. There are maybe 2-4 lanes with human cashiers (2 when it's slow, 4 when it's busier, but I've never been there at peak) and 10-15 stations for self-checkout.
In general, I agree with your sentiment, but there is one bit of nuance:

"In this case, users absolutely had to provide CA with the authority to access certain data, in the same way, they would have for any other app."

Unfortunately in this case the data also included your friend list and some items about your friends that may have been marked "friends only" .

This was the big mistake that Facebook is being crucified for, sadly. Like you said, they made changes to clamp things down long before any of the media knew of CA.
I don't think that your example of Sickle Cell (SCD) is a good comparison to the original quote:

> how an ethnicity affects the virus spread and severity … certain communities are more endangered than others.

SCD is a genetic disease. It is prevalent in specific regions where malaria is common because SCD protects against malaria. There aren't a suite of genes which make people more susceptible to SCD, there's a single inherited gene which causes SCD. You can't catch SCD from another person unless you inherited their genes.

COVID-19 is a flu virus transmitted from person to person. There's no single gene which makes people more likely to catch or transmit flu. There may be multiple genes which increase susceptibility, but once you start talking about a suite of genetics, ethnicity essentially stops being a factor. (Unless those genes directly influence a survival trait for the local area, such as skin color.) There is too much genetic variation within ethnic groups compared to global variation to single out any groups due to genetics.
I think just having an employee explaining "just leave, we'll send you a bill" would be pretty fast, and wouldn't hold up the queue for people who know what's going on.

> FB had APIs, that everyone in the entire world knew about. There maybe a little 'too open' for some, but nobody was screaming fraud. It seemed reasonable to most.

Let's flip this around then: Australia’s Privacy Act 1988 lays out clear rules and penalties. Facebook had a responsibility to learn and follow these rules if they wanted to do business in Australia.

> In this case, users absolutely had to provide CA with the authority to access certain data, in the same way, they would have for any other app.

That is not true, and this is clearly explained by the OIAC statement referenced in the article: 'Most of those individuals did not install the “This is Your Digital Life” App; their Facebook friends did. Unless those individuals undertook a complex process of modifying their settings on Facebook, their personal information was disclosed by Facebook to the “This is Your Digital Life” App by default.'
What is the "market price"?

Is it the bid? Is it the offer? Is it the last trade? The VWAP?

The stock market only tells you where shares have traded and where the order book would trade them. There is no observable "actual price."

A useful way to think about the price is to imagine a theoretical fair value that is always changing, and a theoretical bid/offer that is always floating around the fair value.

This theoretical fair value is not posted anywhere. Some people give the name "price discovery" to the process of identifying where the theoretical fair value lies. With liquid stocks like AAPL on calm days, price discovery is a simple affair. With other assets, price discovery can be more opaque.

When the stock is trading steadily at high volume, then sure. The last trade is a great representation of the theoretical fair price. But in choppy trading, when there are dislocations between related assets and spreads are wide? The last trade is not representative of the whole picture.

Consider assets whose transactions must be reported to TRACE. If you are long, you have an incentive not to sell aggressively because a downtick will mark down the value of your position. So what's the fair price? Is it the last trade? Not necessarily, because that trade may not represent the current state of the market.

Also, there is generally some illiquid trading taking place pre-/post-market. And US futures trade overnight in other markets. And companies may be exposed to assets that trade outside of US trading hours (eg, refiners that have storage tanks full of crude, or companies that have currency exposure).
My marketplace options were bad, expensive, and numerous. Coupled with relocation, I had next to no information about what plans/providers/networks were decent, and had a very short time to research and decide about what to spend on.

Routine services were ok (I did splurge a bit to have low specialist and prescription copays). Dental was not affordable.

Going to a different job that took care of finding decent coverage options that fit the company and location made my life a lot easier and improved my quality of care and out of pocket expenses, while removing much of the stress in finding a healthcare provider that fit my needs and budget.

That's why I won't do it. It's too stressful, too expensive, and the quality of the plans are shit.
AFAIK cruise ships are notorious for spreading infections diseases between the thousands relatively tightly packed on board for weeks at a time. Though usually these are digestion related diseases and usually less severe.
You are right, big-group rates are the lowest. Grouping smaller companies to negotiate lower rates is something we are actively pursuing.

Small group prices can, on average, be more or less competitive than the individual market, depending on geography. In recent years, the prices of both types of insurance have been trending towards similarity, but there is still substantial variation region-by-region.

I don't think the kernel complexity and maintenance burden was deemed worth the effort. But now 1) Spectre has made syscalls more expensive and 2) Linux has destroyed all the competition and so there's alot more pressure to add features for what effectively would only ever be used by niche use cases--you don't add io_uring to benefit the Node.js crowd, you add it for Amazon and Netflix and other consumers that have have no other avenues for optimization.

To be fair, io_uring seems to be a pretty sane design. But, for example, for many years anything with a shared ring buffer between userspace and the kernel was suspect. Now there are several such interfaces. Overall tolerance has grown, especially on the part of Linus. The kernel is much larger, and Linus seems to have become much more deferential to subsystem maintainers as his ability to understand and opine on code has slipped beyond his grasp.
In shops I frequent, there is usually a single line for all 3-8 self-checkout machines,
but separate lines for each individual cashier.

I've noticed that the line for self-checkout is usually roughly
the same length as the lines for individual cash registers, regardless
of how many machines there are.

I'm not sure if people just don't like self-checkout or if they have failed
to notice that the "go to the shortest line" heuristic doesn't work anymore
when one of the lines moves much faster than the others.
That principle seems to have been followed here. The individual fraudsters were just fired, although some reports have indicated there’s a black mark on their record; the CEO was fired, paid 17 million dollars, and is banned from ever working for a bank in the future. (And he’s not even accused of having ordered the fraud, just of not doing enough to stop it.)
The logic seems to be:

B followed A once before, therefore B always follows A.
Or indeed HEIC.

> These other countries found cases who were already infected longer. That's why they have more deaths but also why they have more recoveries.

Yeah, and as I already noted, this situation MEANS that these other countries are failing to control the infection because they are finding infections late, which is going to mean more deaths later.

> You cannot gauge effectiveness of treatment until you've given the treated time to recover or die.

Sure, I shouldn't imply Korea does just better treatment rather than that the treatment/test combination regime of Korea seems like the superior model relative to other countries and I think have mostly said that. We can see notably that the infection rate in Korea has dropped off markedly in the last few days.
Now merged hither.
You know that China is most likely lying about their infection numbers. They have to "save face" and all that. I don't know which is worse, not testing, or actively lying.
In the Amazon Go stores, there are still price labels on the shelves, if I recall correctly. Nothing stopping a retailer from doing that.
And how often do you stop your checkout clerk and tell them to stop scanning because you've exceeded N number of dollars? Once you've pulled your cart up to the checkout line, I'm betting you've most likely settled on what you want to buy.
I am not sure they can make an app for that.

For one, there's usually a delay before you get your receipt.
>How often are you at the checkout and say "Wait, HOW MUCH is my bill? never mind then, going to go put some things back."

That's a pretty common occurence for poor people. If you only have $70 and your bill comes to $72 because you did the mental math wrong you're gonna have to put something back.
> Combined with amazon promises that it takes only a few weeks to integrate (seriously??)

I've seen good ideas bubble up from the population, through the blue checks, and to the right people in places of power multiple times. One recent example is to temporarily allow doctors to practice medicine across state lines using tele-medicine in order to help combat covid19. Another idea bubbling up is giving people a "right to try" experimental medications, again regarding covid19.

The regular populace has never had this kind of access to political leadership in the history of the planet. Not participating on Twitter is like not voting on the referendums section of your ballot.

All of it actually, as tea is a licensed plant in Turkey.
In the conclusion they mentioned rate of growth as well.

If rate of growth is disk usage is at or below the rate of growth in mid-tier SSDs, then yes, it's $500/yr. If you are growing faster than that, then an improvement might be saving you $350/yr + $150/yr², and a wall in the future might be pushed out for years.

With your Cloud provider, it might be hard to get more disk, memory, or CPU without paying for more of the other two. Also, many real organizations and vendor agreements are full of the most stupid artificial constraints. Just because someone else can build a 1PB SSD storage array doesn't mean that any of my coworkers will be allowed to build one any time soon. CAPEX austerity measures are among the most frustrating penny-wise pound-foolish policies we have to deal with.
