He owns the website with leaked porn accounts passwords to his own porn websites!

I’m not even mad, that’s amazing.

I would argue that alot fewer people would be subscribing to onlyfans feeds if they didn’t have familiarity with premium accounts already. Although the personal touch is pretty unique.
Afterglow of the time when the US was the world's top manufacturer. Today, 121 US companies are in the Fortune Global 500. That means 379 NON-US companies are in the Fortune Global 500.

China has more companies (124) in the Fortune Global 500 than the US (121). The US only has 2 companies in the Top Ten.

I wrote this whole long comment talking about all the issues in trying to design a good trial to figure this out, but here's one trial I think will give us some more info, it seems better designed than the other ones I've seen (sample size remains a problem):

A little bit? A carbon tax is workable, I've just come to favor a sales tax as simpler.

They're both consumption taxes, the latter says "ok, this is what we have to take out of the economy to pay for mitigation, lets do it as a sales tax and then pay some of it back for products that reduce carbon burden, either directly or as substitute goods for especially polluting technologies".

The more moving parts something like this has, the more opportunities there are to take advantage of that. Sales tax already exists, it's well understood, this would be fire-and-forget, and it wouldn't create a bunch of new jobs for accountants (nothing against them, but we don't want that).
NewPipe has their own fdroid repo already, so that shouldn't cause any serious issues
The generator wasn't sped up beyond tolerances, the safety system that kept it synchronized with the wider grid deliberately brought it in out sync, like ramming a car engine into a much lower gear at high speed. The force has to go somewhere, and from the perspective of the generator the mass of the grid might as well be infinite.

As for better architectures, we're working on that, but industry is lethargic, lazy, and often organizationally dumb.

But there are limits to isolation. AC grid frequency and voltage and load flows are changing constantly, if normally by small degrees, and propagate at effectively the speed of light. It's impossible to have purely static immutable protection schemes for all but the most trivial of equipment.

Not to say it can't be a lot better.

You are right about the floor/ceiling. Very impressive.

Yes, Ninja files are very easy to generate, that’s it’s big selling point for me.

I have a project with dozens of C/C++/asm/precompiled libraries, a few thousand source files in all.

I would have trouble writing Makefile(s) for everything that would even be correct, let alone performant, either by hand or generated. But I have a set of Python scripts to generate a big Ninja build file and it all works very nicely.
See also: Pentaho and it's associated tooling, as well as many "workflow management" tools like Camunda.

I'd stay as far away from all of these tools as possible.
I totally agree, and look at the success that Salesforce.com has had. I have seen numerous examples where a reasonably tech savvy person on a sales or support team has been able to put together a totally acceptable workflow to manage their team without having to deal with any product managers, qa, developers, or IT personnel. It can save a tremendous amount in both development and opportunity costs.

It's not always perfect. As adoption and complexity increases, teams often find themselves bumping up against the limits of the tool eventually, and need to bring in specialists to help. But even then, it seems much better than the alternative of trying to code your own CRM system from scratch.
If there is no physical contact, how is what happens different than a strip club? I think prostitution requires physical contact.
People find it interesting and fun so IMO that’s the only bar that needs to be cleared to justify the attention it gets. If your pet areas of mathematics are more exciting to you, then share that with people and/or post here and maybe it will get more attention. Or not! I wouldn’t dissuade people from following their interests.

My background - I’m a programmer and like building programming languages. I’m interested in HoTT because I’m interested in type theory generally and also formalization of mathematics.

Most mathematicians don’t care much about these things, which is fine. Like most weird stuff, it’s good that some folks are doing it.

Lastly you might enjoy this thread about why formalization is interesting to another mathematician:

Inside the source of the Javascript player (base.js) was a function to transform (update) the value of the video signature (s) parameter. All you had to do was look at base.js and duplicate the string operations used to produce the updated s, whatever they were. No need to use Javascript. yt-dl chose to use Python. Only a minority of videos used this "technological measure". Most videos on YT do not require a continually updated s; the value of s stays the same.

Regarding the "bookmark" comment, there is no way to "bookmark" any YT download URL because all YT download URLs (not just ones that have a changing signature) include timestamps; as is typical of download URLs on video sites, they have an expiration. Generating URLs that expire is not done as a means of copyright-related "access control"; the purpose has to do with caching.

Something that might help laypeople like myself, would be to relate them to the colors of things. That's the third dimension in this puzzle. There are wavelengths, and we have nerve impulses, but in addition, things interact with wavelengths in different ways.

Talking about wavelengths and electrical impulses seems too abstract. Let's talk about a tomato. Do you experience a 450 nm (or maybe 550 to be fair) tomato the way I experience a 700 nm tomato?

Do we have qualia for empty and full? Do you experience an empty beer bottle the way I experience a full beer bottle?

There’s no technical reason why that would be true. What is true is if you have an app and doc format that weren’t designed for real-time collaboration, it’ll be really hard to retrofit, regardless of your choice of app platform.
It's pretty bold of them to claim a performance edge. Figma smokes them in every corner of this metric.
My point is that Google wasn't special or a clear winner in the early '00s and there were plenty of other equally hot choices, like Yahoo, so Google's candidates weren't "highly motivated". Contrary to your assertion, their early hyper-selective hiring process worked just fine for them in getting them the highly talented engineers they needed.

I think you are missing something about both tools: the BUILD language is still quite high level, and closer to CMake/Meson than Ninja. The Nix language is also the higher level, though not that high level.

The actual "meat and potatoes" of Nix is the derivation graph. I think/hope Bazel has an equivalent, but I'm not sure how exposed it is (advertise your layering, people!). This derivation graph is simple simple as hell---each derivation is a path to an exe, arvgv, environ, etc., and derivations output paths and can depend on the outputs of derivation. This is what Meson/CMake/etc. should learn to output.

Theatrum Chemicum Britannicum (1652)
Your productivity, as measured by how much value you bring to the employer, does influence your salary, by setting a ceiling for it.

Concretely, if your work adds $300k/year to company revenue, it will at most pay you that much.

Of course, it prefers to pay you less, and to get close to that number it's best to be part of a big enough labor market that you can get job offers from several employers.

Here's the thing: In a mainly remote programmer labor market, that we seem to be entering, all employers in the entire US are in your local labor market, so that should work out fine.

What I just described is "supply and demand", with a bit of detail.

This isn't a property of native apps or web apps.

As someone who's worked on a lot of collaborative technology, I find it weird how most of the interest in collaborative editing is confined to the web. As I understand it, Figma's internal collaborative engine is written in C++ anyway.
Starlink ToS: “the parties recognize Mars as a free planet”
Apple's engineering and design success is a huge part of why they have the resources to likely fund some of the 5 nm fab deployment costs and capacity. Money comes from success which came from great engineering and design coupled with great marketing.

Marketing might get you there for a short time, but maintaining that growth and long term high customer satisfaction doesn't come without great engineering and design.

Recruiters and LinkedIn make it worse. LI has some very spammy features they sell to recruiters, based on keywords and tags.

I'm a native Swift developer, with over 30 years' experience programming Apple devices, but I have also written a lot of PHP (backend) stuff, and Web sites.

A few years ago, I spent a few months, learning Android, and decided I didn't like it, but I do have Java and Android Studio in the mix.

I often get recruiters, trying to match me with Web design or C# (nowhere in my stack) jobs.
"Easier" as I'm using it is a metric of engineering effort more than throughput. I don't disagree - there's vastly more aggregate bandwidth available, both internally and on external interfaces.

But its vastly easier to get started with CUDA or OpenCL than it is to get started with a big FPGA.
My personal price preference breaks down into something along the lines of:

I am happy to pay up to $100/mo for access to ANY movie or TV show.

In the past on HN, people have pointed out that this is not possible at the $5 or $12 or $15/month price point which is fine. I wish someone would at least offer the option (or even tiers) so that I could make the decision for myself.

I don't really understand why the streaming services are leaving so much consumer surplus on the table. Clearly people are open to the idea because cable companies had tiers like this (which people paid for).

Apple wouldn't have shelled out the money to have first crack at 5nm if their design team couldn't commit to having a CPU design done in time. It's a huge R&D achievement to have such a complex design ready to go on a new node as the node launches. It speaks to extremely tight timelines and extremely close collaboration between TSMC and Apple.

For technical content writing, here's a collection of some good articles - https://weavrboards.com/devrel/board/developing-content-for-...

In general, for me a good approach has been with this '3S framework':

1. Support - Write content that educates or supports in a timely fashion
2. Sources - Parse through the discussions in domain specific sources (forums and communities) to get a pulse of what to write
3. Segmentation - Finalize on the stage of the user/developer journey (beginner, intermediate or an expert)
That domain appears to be unregistered, don't know if anyone is looking for a good domain -- if so, you may have found it.
I'm not an expert but I'm certain we aren't even close to providing this level of connectivity. Throttled data, sucky hotel wi-fi, underground tunnels, bad service in rural areas of e.g. Germany etc. are real, unfortunately.

You cannot hope to get enough uptime and guaranteed response time ranges for an app's interactions from any server; you will always get inferior UX to client-side rendering (which, in a way, has 100% uptime and guaranteed response times only bound by CPU/RAM/bugs in your code).
It depends on the case! I've had a pretty smooth recovery so far because I'm relatively young (28) and my lesion was superficial.

Trump Signs Executive Order Letting Him Purge Federal Workers for Disloyalty
The logical extreme of "no hierarchy of goals" is to have no law. A law is able to penalize certain goals that are actively harmful. This encodes consensus of a hierarchy, and many people believe it is useful (depending on the particular law).

What you are suggesting is a nihilistic approach. Despite our collective inability to determine any "root goal" of the universe to aspire to, we collectively benefit from certain "local goals" - such as trash collection, trying to stop people from running around and killing others, having food (ideally good) available, etc.

A "noble goal" is a social construct. You might actually define it as a goal with positive impact on a society that some members would rather not or cannot do themselves.

I agree that people should not have their goals forced. However, the concept of a "noble goal" is useful in describing this evolutionarily emergent social phenomenon. And I am in favour of a societal incentive system that rewards positive impact to society.

Most of my goals are pretty neutral, and I guess I don't really put much effort into any particularly noble ones. Open source software, I guess. Though I can see that some goals really have a large beneficial impact to the experience of life, and can't help but appreciate people who engage in those goals.
I would be thrilled to hear somebody's theory of consciousness that takes into account the following axioms:

1. Consciousness demonstrates quantum non-locality. The U.S government via 3 letter agencies studied psychic phenomena like remote viewing for over 30 years under various names including Project Stargate(a). and was studied at Stanford Research Institute by scientists like Russell Targ and Hal Puthoff.

2. Consciousness affects matter. The water crystal experiments by Masaru Emoto(b) are the simplest and least fringe example. Project love, hate, anger, etc. to water results in changes to the crystal structure of water when frozen.

I tried to keep it as non-fringey and simple as possible. If you consider these, it leads to the framework that consciousness is not emergent from the physical brain but is instead a field or carrier-wave from somewhere else and brains act like antenna receivers.

I think the similarity (in my mind) is the "you can't be charged for overages" aspect of it..

Use as much as you can, you won't be charged any more than X dollars per month..

But past a certain point, you will be throttled.. Not cut off, but slowed..

And back in the ISP days, we would actively disconnect high-usage users to free up phone lines during peak times (which was typically 6-10pm on weekdays and 1pm to 10pm on weekends)

Depending on how old you are, you may or may not remember a time when ISPs advertised their "user-to-line ratios", meaning we didn't have a phone line for every customer - we maintained a 7:1 ratio which was considered good back then).

So in order to allow the lower-usage customers to get online to check their emails or surf after dinner, we had to make sure that there were lines available.

If you had already used more than (I think - memory is fuzzy here) 150 hours per month, then you were subject to being disconnected during peak hours.

So in effect, we were also throttling them, which is similar to what wireless carriers do today I think...
>then why should physical life develop them?

The comparison I've always liked is the "steam whistle set off by a locomotive". The steam whistle has no causal efficacy on the locomotive but is a waste byproduct of a steam engine.

Consciousness shouldn't have any causal effect on physical processes (assuming a strictly materialist framework), if it's explained as a byproduct of functioning physical processes it tends to deal with the issues 'consciousness' has that are in inherently in conflict with strict materialism.
> How do you validate I've paid and let me through with a static QR code for something like the metro, or a ticketed event, or even a coffee? How do you know they paid the right amount? I turn and show you my receipt, and you hope it's not faked?

By and large when I've used these systems, the vendor just checks they received the correct amount of payment in their app. It's largely immediate

> "If you believe there is a case where it may be moral and rational to use nuclear weapons, why would you want to put a potential barrier in the way of their use?"

Because you think the point where they become moral and rational to use is way way way further than commonly discussed, and you want to put many barriers of many kinds (physical, emotional, logistical) to delay their point of use without completely blocking them.

You could also say that if a person is incapable of doing the hard parts of the job, don't vote them into the position. (Downside of that is that you'll end up voting someone who doesn't mind killing someone in cold blood while expecting that to be a filter that brings more empathy to the position).
Completely agree. I still build websites with server-side rendering and just enough JS for Ajax, which changes innerHTML and occasionally adds an element. They are astonishingly fast, and they still function if the client has JS turned off.

I remain convinced that for 90% of websites, using React is shooting a sparrow with a cannon.
