Did you read the text?

One of the abused girls asked PH to take down that video for months.

And it's not just that girl - here let me highlight another bit of text from the campaign site.

"Likewise, the Sunday Times investigation into Pornhub reported finding "dozens" of illegal abuse videos within "minutes", including abuse images of children as young as three years old. Some of the videos identified by the newspaper's investigation "had 350,000 views and had been on the platform for more than three years." It went on to say "three of the worst clips still remained on the site 24 hours later."
Glad that you like it!

TBH I didn’t plan to do it myself at least in the short term yet. I think this would be a great help for many people, and i think spreading the idea might inspire some people to do it.

Whether it is me who does it or not, i’d be very glad to see it being realized one day.
I wonder how it compares to AES-NI. Technically that's not a hash, but it can be abused to be, and due to the hardware support the bandwidth is pretty good.

I've experienced this with doctors, who apparently are incentiviced to "treat" many people fast, so they've relatively often given harmful or meaningless advice, they want to be done quickly.

I think those doctors are good people, it's a system problem: taking ones time (as a doctor) and looking for feedback the weeks after, to find out if they did right or not, isn't associated with any "reward" / kpi.

I don't think it's any harder to create a website than it ever was. The problem seems to be that corporations have made it so easy to do it within their silos that people aren't willing to spend ten hours on something they could do in ten minutes, not realizing that they're going to spend a lot more than ten hours creating content which the company will then vaporize at random whenever they feel like it.
> All you want in a currency is acceptance and value stability

And ready lenders and collateral and repos et cetera. Or maybe you don't, but a good fraction of the individuals you transact with, or with whom they transact, do.

The fundamental advantage of the U.S. dollar is in our consumption. That litters the world with dollars searching for a home, and seeds the cross-border financial infrastructure whose pervasiveness makes transacting in dollars so much more convenient for so many more people than in any other currency.
Best advice I ever got: Do what you like, not what you love.

I'd say that we, at least the Nordic counties - which I am familiar with, have decent enough social/welfare programs, that people can be a bit more selective about their employment. You're not tied up to your work, otherwise you're SOL as far as healthcare etc. goes.

Furthermore, we have more free time/vacation, nicer hours, less commuting, and what not. So you often don't feel like you're living at work - or even worse, work that you hate.

And it is possible to live the FIRE-lifestyle here, if you plan ahead and live somewhat frugally. But still, there's an expectation that you contribute to the system.
I made a agriculture Robot: How can I raise funds?
I am a freelance developer and 2 years ago I got this ideas for autonomous robot for farming. I major in Computer Science and I have no idea about mechanical and electronic stuff but I was very determined about my idea and want to pursue it. I started learning about 3d Autocad tools , bought a 3d printer and print the parts I needed which I later get moulded in aluminium and made a mechanical structure of robot. For electronic part I started learning about raspberry pi , arduino and other components like relays , motor drivers. Meanwhile I was doing my freelance work in developing mobile applications. Eventually after 2 years I have made the initial prototype which you can see in video demo.
Now I have a vision that this robot can do all sort of tasks like transplanting , weeding using Deep learning it will detect weeds, harvest crops. Basically it will do full crop management autonomously.
But to develop all these tools I need funds because if I keep on doing it myself while doing my Freelance thing it will take me another 2 years.
I know the prototype I developed is not Viable yet but I approached few investors and they ask for viability. But I know when everything is developed and when it work autonomously and do all the tasks it will be Viable for sure.
So I need suggestions from you guys how to get funds and how to convince investors about my vision.

Thank you and I am looking forward for your suggestions.
Google Maps was revolutionary when it came out.

Maps had smooth, animated panning and zooming that updated the map in real time without reloading the page. MapQuest and the other major competitors at the time only allowed panning and zooming by clicking buttons on the side of the map, which scrolled a predefined number of steps and reloaded, at least initially, the entire page when you did so.

Google Maps was also less cluttered and used the browser's real estate much effectively. MapQuest was a small, cramped map by comparison.

Back in the old days (mid 90's and earlier), most universities and large corporations had their own Usenet servers. These peered with other servers, either over the Internet with NNTP, or through older protocols like UUCP using modems.

I had a UUCP news feed from a local internet provider when I was in high school, back in 1993 or so.

America is a very large nation, and it has more people in it than almost any other. It's also, as an aggregate average, wealthier than almost any other nation.

And at the same time, most people inside it are not individually wealthy enough to thrive inside it to the extent where they could fly overseas for a while.

Per https://www.forbes.com/sites/lealane/2019/05/02/percentage-o...

As many as 13 percent say they have never flown in an airplane.

Forty percent of those questioned said they’ve never left the country.

Over half of respondents have never owned a passport.

And that's even with lumping Mexico/Canada into the same group as other continents when they are very dissimilar in terms of travel feasibility. Mexico and Canada get 55% of all international travel from the US.

Is that better than an impoverished nation? Absolutely. Does one typically classify the US as an impoverished nation? Not typically.

The Fed is run by human beings, whom have biases and flaws.

The US economy is strong, however its fiscal discipline is not. Federal debt to GDP ratio is at an all time high, and will only go higher. Abstract this graph out at current trends:

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/GFDEGDQ188S

Public debt growth is outpacing GDP growth, so its only a matter of time.

Do we anticipate that politicians will suddenly become conservative and start paying down debt? Unlikely. The pressure to keep the economy going and win elections is too strong. The power to create money (or artifically low interest rates) is a heroin addiction, impossible to wean your economy off of.

If you had to lock your wealth in over the next 10-25 years, you're not buying US government bonds. You're hiding out in gold, housing, and stocks. The dollar is not an asset you want to be part of.

> An AR-15 is a high-powered rifle that has a lot of stopping power even at long range

This clause is untrue. The most common chamberings of .223 Remington or 5.56x45mm NATO are not "high-powered". That is an intermediate-power cartridge. More power than a plinking/training round like .22 or .17 HMR, or common handgun rounds, but still less power than a traditional full-size rifle round. Furthermore, the action and magazine well of an AR-15 are too short to even physically accommodate full-size rifle rounds like .308 Winchster / 7.62x51mm NATO, .270, .30-06, etc, to say nothing of rounds that would actually be justifiably called "high-power", like .300 Winchester Magnum or .338 Laupa.

The rest of your post is spot-on, but the meme that the AR-15 is "high-powered" is factually wrong and needs to die.
Ok ok schools don't literally teach that, true, I was ranting but "corporate boards who set up compensation plans not aligned with the interests of long-term shareholders", is a pump and dump, exactly my main point, which stands.

> I first noticed that with skis. I am not a great skier by any mean, but just for kicks I tried renting the best equipment I could find and wow, what a difference it made

I had the exact same comment. Luckily with skiing you can often try hire skis for a day rather than committing to purchasing expensive kit. You may also benefit from advances in ski tech rather than being locked in for years to an expensive early purchase. This happened to me when carving skis replaced the long straight and stiff skis that were prevalent when I started.

Ski boots, however, are a different story, especially if you have non-standard feet (e.g. flat arches, wide toes, etc). After a couple of painful early holidays with ill-fitting boots, often selected quickly in a busy hire shop, I purchased a reasonably expensive pair with a customised fit and the difference in comfort was astounding. In practical terms I could ski 'til the end of the day without getting painful feet.
Actually, what I saw on comp.lang.forth the last few times I checked it (coincidentally, I tried yesterday) makes the news not really surprising.

Aside from the spam, it gradually switched from passionate but respectful debates to name calling and plain insults from newbies to what remained of the veterans.

One could read very long arguments between Elizabeth D. Rather, CEO at that time of Forth, Inc. which she founded with C. Moore somewhere in the 70ies, and Jeff Fox (RIP), who was working at that time with Moore; Moore left his first company to pursue its adventures in hardware, making different "Forth processors", which eventually led to the RTX2000 which powered, notably, the Rosetta probe.
You can enjoy your job and pursue FIRE. FIRE just gives you options. You can either stop working, do other work that doesn't pay as well or at all, or keep working and live at a much higher standard of living. Maybe the company you like working for only gives you a few weeks off per year and you want to take 1-2 months of unpaid time off. Maybe you don't want to care about layoffs or market changes or bad management. Maybe one day you wake up and decide you want to spend time with your kids and productive work can take a breather for a while.

It's foolish to focus just on enjoying your job right now, finances be damned, without planning for the future. For what it's worth, I think it's also foolish to despise your job every day for years and years just to retire a few years earlier. But that's not what FIRE is, that's just one group of people taking it to extremes, as is common in any endeavor. For most people, it just means diligently and consistently setting money aside that will give them a level of freedom that those who don't will never achieve.
But the CDO doesn't actually carry out any of that. They just tell the people under them to follow the policies they set. It sounds like you get to sit around, make policies, tell your people to make sure everyone follows them, and make big money.

The USA really needs a new amendment to protect people from digital surveillance both from governments and corporations (businesses). In olden times there was a limit with mobility and technology.

TransferWise is the window dressing. It is bolted onto an international credit and settlement system which is built on dollar settlement rails. The fact that it's turned every other currency into, in effect, a feature, underscores the point.

Theorems are the highest standard of proof we have, so it's a bit strange to describe a result as "only a theorem".

But yes, the theorem does assume the postulates of quantum mechanics as preconditions. It's not possible to make any statement about reality that doesn't have this kind of "if it works this way" postulate.

The CDC already does it.[1] It's probably worth a discussion about why we weren't all exposed to it.

Interesting related note: the CDC was pretty inventive with their marketing back in ~2011 when they created a Zombie Preparedness[2] campaign.

The average cost of tuition (not room, board, books, travel, living expenses) for private colleges is about $35K/year. At the more expensive private colleges it's twice that.

Are people really going to pay that much for 15 hours of Zoom lectures a week? I doubt it. The primary reason parents are willing to pay that much is not for the education (with some exceptions) but for the credentials, the networking, and putting their kids into a cohort of successful, like-minded individuals from which they can choose an acceptable mate. And of course to get that 18 year old bundle of hormones and poor judgement out of the house but still in a relatively safe environment.

WSL 2 has issues:
https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues

For most of the users doing a lightweight work, it might not be a problem but my repository is extremely huge and building on WSL 2 takes at least 5X more than natives Widnows or MacOS.

https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4197

edit: My use-case for WSL 2 is that I have codebase that only runs on windows / Linux. Switching between the two is cumbersome and VM takes a hit on performance. If I didn't need Windows then definitley no need to use WSL 2 and just go for Linux/MacOS
One person's "con", another person's "pro".
With RE2 in particular, the DFA is almost always faster. The most common cases where an NFA is used is when the DFA can't handle the request. Typically, that occurs when you need the offsets of submatches. But in some circumstances, if the regex would cause the DFA to grow exponentially, then RE2 will dynamically fall back to the NFA, since it's slightly faster.

Keep in mind that RE2 doesn't really have a true DFA. It has a hybrid NFA/DFA or a "lazy DFA." Namely, the DFA is computed at match time through incremental subset construction. The DFA states are cached in memory, so most bytes that are processed are processed as if it were a bog-standard table based DFA.
They actually review every candidate? That's very interesting. I guess I'll be screwed if I ever need to find a new job. If they do it internally too, maybe this is why I can't get promoted.
After you start understanding how the system works, you can do things that are simply not possible with Windows. WSL2 is nice, but it's always still a VM. You don't have the flexibility of running a full Linux distro on real hardware. For instance, I made a portable work environment that boots straight from an SSD in a USB 3.1 case; it is fully encrypted, and it boots the same on every single machine under the sun. I can even quickly boot it in a VM using QEMU.

I personally use pretty much all the major OSes, and I think each one has its ups and down. I still think that Linux can potentially offer a much leaner and snappier experience than the other OS, because you can actually control what goes into your system and what runs and when. I also think that "easy" operating systems (and with them I also group distributions such as Ubuntu and similar) tend to give more advanced users an illusion of reliability that then sorely bites you in the back as soon as something goes awry. A few weeks ago I lost hours trying to understand why Windows was refusing to update to 2004, because Microsoft has hidden every single detail of how the system works away from the user.

I think that many people don't really know how to properly administer Windows systems, and that when things go south you still need to know what to do just like with every other OS.
You can run windows apps within WSL too though.

(I guess maybe not WSL2)
