A sad move in the end, a situation that is neither as black nor as white as the participants involved try to frame it.

Yes: Pornhub had a massive problem, not with child depictions, but with "revenge porn" and similar materials. They definitely needed a slap on the wrist for that one.

But... this is not about children, not about "revenge porn". This is part of an organized, fundamentalist-Evangelical-Christian anti-sex-work campaign that goes back many years (https://theconversation.com/evangelical-women-are-shaping-pu...), whose biggest successes to date were FOSTA/SESTA, and (in countries where prostitution is legal) who uses the current Coronavirus crisis to further calls for banning brothels and other sex work indefinitely.

Make no mistake: the ones suffering at the moment are not the people behind Pornhub/Mindgeek. The ones suffering are the countless content creators that already had their lives screwed when Coronavirus restrictions made face-to-face sex work impossible, and now the biggest platform got hit with a payment cutoff. And this is intentional.
yeah, I can see the topic being worth a blog post and a dedicated HN discussion, since there are pros and cons of locking things up like this.
So basically the algorithm is designed to not find projects that are critical because they are deep in the foundations, depended on by nearly everyone but only worked on by a few people? (which is what "critical" would suggest at least to me) This seems to be mostly a "github marketing index"...

I seriously hope no actual decisions about resource allocation etc are made based on this.
It really is turned off. Companies like Google get huge fines when they break their promise -- even accidentally.

(I'm a little confused at why crack.sh had to spend roughly as much money per key per second as Copacobana, when it was being built with a more advanced model of the same manufacturer's FPGAs around a decade later. I wonder if the Virtex-6 has some high-end features that crack.sh doesn't really benefit from, but still had to pay for.)

This doesn't seem to belong in the category of "problems anyone can understand". What do you mean by looking at a cylinder "which is not deformed by perspective"?

The only way I can think of to interpret this is that you pick a plane and project the cylinder onto it. (That's how you get the circle). But that's easy to do. Failing that, this looks like a "puzzle" that's supposed to sound interesting without actually meaning anything.
As a person with diagnosed fibromyalgia this is sadly a quite common thought for me, too. Fibromyalgia is usually invisible for other people. On outside it looks the person is tired or grumpy or in some kind of brainfog. It just sucks a lot of energy during the flareups. On good days, I'm okay with it, we are on same ride until there are better treatments available.

In most programming languages you can hand author a value just fine - that part isn't an advantage to something like YAML or json. Given the use of variables and a few other similar simple techniques, I dare say many programming languages are more amenable to hand-authoring static config objects than most static config languages.

I think the real issue is reproducibility; and that boils down to purity. Fully fledged languages all come with lots of apis and features to interact with the rest of the world, and it's quite unclear which apis have such dependencies and which do not - and it's seductively easy to do something actually useful in a "real" programming language that will make the whole configuration process unwieldy later - like, say, reading parts of the config from disk, getting some services public key off the internet, embedding a timestap, or even writing some computed config like a random key to a bit of storage for a later config process to consume. And once you do that, then the whole thing gets flaky, fast.

If you can rigorously avoid that, there's not too much advantage to a static config language.

For that specific entitlement, it's overridden by vmnet.framework if you call it from root.

However, Virtualization.framework runs out of process, and Apple forgot to check for root if the entitlement isn't present. That should get solved soon.

> in a city like Lisbon, good luck being a student for example. Pay upwards of 500$/mo (or for perspective, 75% monthly minimum wage) for a room in a shared house

Data point: around 25 years ago, I was paying GBP225/month - so that's ~USD300 - for a (tiny!) bedroom in a shared house in Cambridge, UK.

I'm not sure what approach one would best use to adjust for 25 years of house price and/or general inflation, but isn't that in the same ballpark as your '$500' in Libson now?

FWIW, we thought housing was expensive back then, too.

As an user I literally run into this usecase: Germany, local bus company, I've run out of cash, so I just bought online ticket via Deutsche Bahn app (it's a QR code). When you enter the bus, you need to scan this QR code, but for some stupid/smart reason Apple Pay triggers and hides this screen, and of course when you try to debug Apple Pay screen is gone, QR code is back. Trying to explain to the bus driver that this was some stupid Apple Pay interaction was quite an experience. Lesson learned: make sure to always have some spare coins with you.

You're not wrong, in that closed-form is not a clearly-defined term.

However, mathematicians rarely do numerical calculations, so exp(), gamma, etc. are considered elementary functions, and there's no urgency to translate from symbols to numbers.

Physicists who do calculations might be more restrictive about what closed-form means if they intend to compute a numeric result.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-form_expression

Source: I studied pure mathematics, and we never used calculators - it was laughable, in fact. Most of our series never converged in the first place. :)
And there's still plenty of Bitcoin ATMs throughout many cities that accept cash and put it onto a wallet. Or other ways to disconnect identity.

But really who the hell is going to go through the very hard work to figure out which porn sites you signed up for (with a random user name not connected to your real identity naturally, which is the first disconnect). No one cares. Especially for a site like pornhub.

You could also argue that this was solved "along the way" and also not really clear back then. I am an AirBnB host myself and were also wondering about this recently and there are several factors today which contribute positively: Provided as a (technical) solution by AirBnB (Recommendations, IDs, etc.) but also how the internet/web evolved as a hole - A place that somehow manages that strangers meaningfully/safely interact with each other. This was never clear and also an uncertainty for Wikipedia (earlier) and now for AirBnB in a different and new way: Inviting strangers to your house.
Airbnb, backed by VC money, were willing to enable the breaking of local laws on a mass scale. These laws, about the standards that bed and breakfasts and other short term lets must meet (things like meeting fire and health and safety regulations) and also limiting the number of short term lets in an area to retain actual, functional cities people can afford to live in rather than tourist traps were and are intentionally bypassed by the Airbnb founders and their funders as part of their business plan. Airbnbs, contrary to the "ooh its helping people meet their rent" narrative pushed by PG are often owned by rich multiple property owning rentiers who are profiting off rich tourists by driving out poorer people who would like to actually live in these areas. Airbnb is a blight in cities all over the world.
If more and more business are cut off by the payment gatekeepers perhaps it will spur the adoption of alternative currencies.
> They can't expose such a feature, at least until they're sure that their results are better than Google's in most cases (otherwise it'll be like shooting themselves on the foot).

Perhaps, but here I am: a potential DDG user who is instead using Google because of this missing feature.

They could of course put a nice privacy warning next to the Google button. Or they could label it "!g" to avoid using Google's name.

> Besides, a userscript that does what you want could be written very easily I guess.

I thought of making a "!g" bookmarklet, but I wouldn't know how to deploy it on mobile (Firefox).
Ah geez, I really don’t want to derail this, but Magnus Carlsen is not one of the “best minds of our generation”, he’s remarkably good at a game that rewards memory and pattern matching.

I don’t think even Magnus Carlsen thinks of himself in that way, no one in the chess world does, as far as I know.

Most serious chess players don’t make the mistake of thinking their skills translate very well.
> the second Volkswagen says you can't use a 3rd party part in your car that you bought - everyone should be up in their arms about it.

There's a risk-benefit question to be weighed even with cars; Lots of parts in a Volkswagen are sealed for safety reasons, and (in many countries) your car will get inspected regularly (here in Portugal it's an annual occurrence) to make sure your modifications don't impact the safety of your car and to others you meet on the road.

Having to re-tether your phone periodically to a diagnostic device to rekey and verify the trusted base seems like a reasonable analogue to me and that's largely where unlocking on iPhone is at the moment.

> like on android devices when you want to unlock a bootloader - a one way, single step process

I think "single step" is a bit disingenuous here: It's many little steps that all have to be performed correctly, and that then need to be sealed by relocking the bootloader (wiping the phone again) or you'll end up with a phone that cannot any longer protect your data from physical access, and may have a diminished capability to protect you from remote access.

There's a case to do this in the lab, but I think nobody in their right mind should put their banking details in an unlocked phone -- and yet that's exactly where most guidance about unlocking various Android devices leaves its users...

> There's a line here - and it should end at customers choice, always.

> it still leaves the final choice to you, the user

If I woke up to find my bank account suddenly $100k lighter, I'd want my money back, and giving the bank any opportunity to say well Geo, you made a choice to rip out the trusted base we were relying on would fill me deeply with regret for letting the Internet convince me this was something as simple as choice.

Right now, there are relatively few people in the world who would be confronted with that dilemma -- precisely because iPhones don't make this easy. Do you agree? Or can you explain why you think it would make our society better to have more people face that?
Why? The sort of people who would read those articles are not going to be entrepreneurs anyway. People who would actually have the determination to succeed wouldn't be deterred.

"yet the idea that the colony has a mind is really not supported by our understanding of what a mind is."

so perhaps the problem is the current/popular understanding of what a mind is?

which tends to be linked to a central nervous system, which rules out octopuses (a class of animals which display clear and compelling examples of intelligent behavior)

or to be more general, which we tend to link to a nervous system, which rules out both eusocial colonies (as you point out) and plants (which show clear and compelling examples of changing responses to certain stimuli which if displayed by dogs would be called learning/intelligent behavior).

Indeed interesting things to ponder

> Your goat eats the "donut" and GP's goat eats the "hole", each eating half of the area.

Assuming the two goats are on equally long leashes, this doesn't come close to being true. They each eat circular arcs which run through half a radius. But the outside goat's circles are huge and the inside goat's circles are tiny; the inside goat covers 25% of the area.

I think it's that a lot of us are older and wiser now and having lived through 30 years of VC driven hyper capitalism now look around and see that actually it's made life significantly more insecure and just generally shittier for most people except billionaires and FAANG drones. Of course if you're a billionaire or FAANG drone you probably don't want to acknowledge this.
I mean, our company uses elasticsearch. But like, if it went away, it would not be critical or something. Some features would degrade a bit and no one would cared.

I think Virtualization.framework lays on top of Hypervisor.framework, which Apple has included since Yosemite (released in 2014). So while I can't refute your suspicions, they would have had the time to implement it from scratch.

And I'm sorry that you take this laughable stuff at face value. The bullshit asymmetry principle means that I don't have the free time to dig into that; and if I did, I would not spend it on you.

While the war about details is fought in other comments, I just want to say thanks for your point, it really extended my point of view. I was aware that growing some things over others (be that cattle, almonds, rice or whatever) consumes a lot more water, but I did not have that in mind when thinking about pricing water.
I am still worried by the idea of water becoming a luxury good, but my view is less one-sided now. Thank you!
But this isn't true. As gowld points out, you can easily represent an exact 1 and an exact sqrt(2) simultaneously; all you need is compass and straightedge.

Interestingly, that's as far as it goes; if you start with a line of length 1, compass and straightedge will let you construct a line with length equal to the square root of any rational number. You can do addition, multiplication, subtraction, division... and square roots, and there things come to a stop.

Certainly it would, temporarily. Like placing a large buy order on a stock. But prices would quickly normalize since it would be a one time thing. Supply would quickly tighten up again and prices would resume the march upward.

And even the short term downward price pressure wouldn’t affect prices by much. We’re not talking the 50%+ drops that would be needed to make housing in the area “affordable” relative to incomes—-as it was for at least half of the last century.

Also important to remember, many of those Airbnb’s would not be legally zoned for permanent occupancy.

I made the exact same experience. Sometimes when I can't get satisfying results I try to use google, but in most cases the results are even worse. Googles search results just don't make any sense to me by now.

There is one feature that google has which I can't find a good alternative for: Reverse search of images. Hands down, that's a good one, Google.
They are using this to monitor the Earth-Moon distance right? Could that kind of experiment interfere with this research?

Side question : Is there any example of a language that has successfully added HKT after it was released and became popular ?
At my previous job, we had used Cypress for an internal React application but had to remove it due to incompatibility with our single sign on.

Each application either used the same OAuth solution that customers used or they used Okta which was more common for internal applications. It was a little unclear which was supposed to be used as some applications used the former and then it was common to have a "backend for frontend" that would solely deal with communicating between... ah, you know what, I don't even want to think about it.

Suffice it to say, the React application in question made use of the okta-react library which meant that the actual SSO dance was part of the Javascript bundle being shipped

That in itself isn't a problem but Cypress seems strongly designed around the idea that you never leave the domain. We got that to work but then when 2FA was mandated, we were kind of screwed.

We didn't have a TOTP seed to generate a passcode as part of the auth flow which is highly questionable of course but we also didn't have a solution to bypass the actual authentication step either, as it wasn't an API call to a backend (we controlled)

Anyway, we tried making a service account that has 2FA disabled only to discover that 2FA was mandated at a network level (unless you were on a specific subnet we later discovered) meaning we would just see some arbitrary "error 53"

Anyway, This isn't to say that Cypress is anyway at fault here but I have seered in my memory, from the tens of hours spend on this crap, the sight of threads where people would "How do I use this with Okta" and the developers essentially saying "Oh, yeah, you shouldn't be doing that".

Having said all that, while I remember finding Cypress pretty handy, I'm more fond of Testcafe myself :)

Ah also, I believe a lot of teams made use of a Zalenium... cluster? Bunch of instances anyway. I also recall a number of people having the above issue with no solutions
It sounds like what you actually mean is that there is not enough housing supply to meet the demand. Demand which has been augmented by AirBnB. This is a zoning and infrastructure problem, and it was not created by them, nor can it be fixed by them.

> >> Note This entitlement is restricted to developers of virtualization software. To request this entitlement, contact your Apple representative.

I can understand the desire, for convenience's sake of testing stuff quickly, to directly virtualize a guest linux OS on a developer's workstation laptop or desktop running MacOS.

But that's an absolute non-starter for me. Contact your sales representative for an entitlement? Forget that, I'll keep on using Linux kernel based virtualization with either xen or kvm, and the equivalent of xen domU PV or HVM on a normal x86-64 server platform, controlled remotely from my laptop, thanks.
