I’m trying to see something:

“Not all suffered the same Holocaust we know today. It’s just important to remember/question how diverse people’s Holocaust experiences actually were.”

Maybe it’s just me but these type of statements seem to miss the point. Given the deplorable state of American understanding of slavery, Reconstruction, the state-sanctioned apartheid that only ended a few decades ago, and all its effects that continue to reverberate, I don’t think “a nuanced understanding” of slavery is really what’s called for. The evidence suggests that most Americans never even learned the ABCs of slavery and its effects.

I don't know why you use a big word such as "fraud" when you mean "we want to be able to know which accounts are owned by the same person".

Isn't what you're calling a free will just the influence of your previous experiences? Which would mean that there should theoretically be a way for powerful advertisers to avoid people from obtaining such experiences in the first place.
The number of times I've had non-tech people complain about how their phone is listening to them and then showing them adverts about stuff they've been talking about has gone through the roof in the last 18 months (generally as soon as I mention that I work with computers).

It's becoming a real concern for normal people - they don't understand what it is or how it works but they really don't like it.

>Why did it take this long? Why would no one else have the courage to address sex work?

OnlyFans may be a watershed moment for porn business models, but it's not a watershed moment for attitudes about sex work like author tries to imply.

Using the internet, you could already get ad-supported porn, buy films, subscribe to porn libraries, tip while watching streams and pay for private streams. The step made by OnlyFans is bringing the Patreon model to porn. Even though OnlyFans' reputation is for porn, it's not exclusively a pornography service. And that's part of the problem for other tech companies. OnlyFans fits into the status quo where the product that elides porn is "generic" and the actually generic product is seen "for porn."

>Why does the same industry that exalts such morally ruinous firms as Palantir, Facebook and Palmer Lucky’s actual next-gen weapons startup get queasy about consenting adults wanting to see naked bodies?

The valley doesn't build for their morals, they build roughly for what they think the market will buy and the moral status quo in the U.S. is not the same as the author's. The US is an incredibly sex negative country. The U.S. is so sex negative that what passes for sex positivity is just a flavor of sex negativity patting itself on the back for budging an an inch or two in the last 20 years.

>And if they missed this market opportunity, think about how many more are out there - invisible only to the affluent men who run “tech.”

You really think men are uniquely blind to the market opportunity? That if they were allowed to express their own opinions rather than the sex negativity of society would choose for there to be less access to porn on the internet? Or that women in decision making positions aren't also beholden to the status quo?
Five Emerging DevOps Trends for 2021
My kids get a weekly allowance, however, they’re not allowed to spend it on in-game transactions. Once a year, on Christmas, they get $40 they are allowed to spend on digital rewards - Fortnite vbucks are their typical choice. I see the manipulation happening to these kids, and the bad habits it forms. Not to mention how it’s destroying gaming. I’m sentimental for the days when you could drop $60 on a game with a great offline experience, and a online multiplayer world, without additional pay to play.
Show HN: Flashcards to Prepare for Coding Interviews
I find this semantic critique interesting but I have to disagree with you. Underlying the critique is a hidden arrogance.

Agency language is strongly tied to our ability to understand the mechanism by which phenomena occurred. For example, take 4 different chess bots:

1. The bot moves in a 100% predictable way to you (say it checks each piece in order to find a possible move, the first it finds that's legal it moves)

2. The bot moves randomly

3. The bot uses minimax + library (traditional chess engine)

4. The bot is running via reinforcement learning

When we discuss the moves the bot made, in which of the above scenarios would we say it 'chose' to move in a particular way? These different examples call out different forms of 'agency'. In cases 3 and 4 (maybe even 2?) most people - including the creator of the bot - would say the bot chose to move pawn to c4.

As effect gets sufficiently far removed from cause it's natural to ascribe agency to the mechanism. In a very real sense in case 4 the creator designed the bot but has no idea why it moves in certain ways - they can analyze the weights of course - but why did it 'choose' those weights over others during training? If we knew that we wouldn't need the costly training in the first place.

So back to your distaste of agency language when describing a phenomena. We're talking about _incredibly_ complex machinery. There is no guarantee that these mechanisms are a 1. or even a 3. type bot. They could be a 5. or 6. (whatever that even means). Thus even if we knew _everything_ about the last order mechanism, we would still ascribe agency to the effect.
It forces you to organize your thoughts. It's possible to code without really thinking, and naming things in that state of mind is difficult.
It's odd though, they have these contradictory actions. For the iPhone, they are pushing for privacy, but on MacOS, we are now dealing with things like excessive telemetry to the point of phoning a authorization server for running local binaries. Not to mention the new firewall issues, where Apple utilities are able to bypass local firewall rules.
A Wikipedia article lists the following reasons for the pass termination of Steve Rothstein:

> the pass had been terminated due to fraudulent behavior, specifically his history of approaching passengers at the gate and offering them travel on his companion seat and for using the companion program to purchase an adjacent empty seat under a fake name to keep them vacant, which was often used for privacy or extra carry-on luggage.

Why XML Security is Broken (2004)
Hi there,

I am a college student who recently got a job as a software developer. Just like any other guy looking to land his first software developer job, I went through the grind of practicing leetcode and taking notes to be interview ready.

In that process, I ended up creating flashcards for myself that covers essential concepts asked in an interview. I penned down stuff like Time complexity to several algorithms, and a summary of how some underlying structure of data structures like hash tables, linked lists, trees, etc functions.

I found them valuable during my coding interview prep.

Paul Grahm mentioned in one of his essays that the best validation of the product is people paying for it. So, I’ve set up a website where users can preorder to get these flashcards.

My goal is to touch 75 pre-orders! Right now, I'm at 27. If I could reach my goal then I could very well be on my way to print and sell it as a real product.

This is something I built to scratch my itch and I feel there could be many like me who would find this helpful.

I'm curious to know what you think about this
I have worked several years at FAANG, and error like this were very hard to make due to how the frameworks were written.

But it seems that this was third-party code, which I guess explains it.
Apple gets on the order of $12 billion a year from Google to make Google Search the default search engine in iOS. All that money comes from ads. They care about privacy until it hits their pocketbook.
On a much smaller scale, one of the first apartments I rented ended up being on the other side of the fence of an alleged local Hell's Angels hangout. At first, it freaked me out. But I never heard a peep, and the neighbourhood was surprisingly peaceful given the location. (It was surrounded by fairly rough areas.) I later learned that this was not a coincidence. Their presence kept trouble away from the block, and they never caused trouble themselves. In other words: No one wanted to mess with them, and the Angels weren't gonna "sh*t where they eat".

I'm not saying this was a net positive. I'm glad I don't live there anymore, as there was a persistent anxiety about the potential for that peace to be disrupted. But it was the closest I ever got to experiencing what it's like to living in a gang-controlled area, and it was weird.
I'm trying to get an understanding of the portions that you guys are talking about. Am I correct that:

125g would be roughly .3 liters or 1.25 cups of a pasta like spaghetti (i.e. one that isn't hollow so it fills up most of the available space)

25g of cheese would be just enough to melt and form a thin layer over the top of the pasta

I think that I would want some meatballs or cubed chicken (or a vegetarian equivalent) to feel satisfied. However, I also probably wouldn't add the cheese so maybe it equals out somewhat.
YouTube is a great resource but it’s not a book.

Personally I like a combination of a book and YouTube tutorial. For shell/Linux stuff I like to go to YouTube first, learn a little bit, and then go to the docs.
There are some devices with mercury vapor lamps for applications that require a broader spectrum. True though that LED have mostly just one peak and then open up in visible wavelengths again.

Theoretically it should be safe, but I would still use glasses, since even outer layers of your eye are probably photosensitive, not only your retina.

But yes, UVA specifically is dangerous for skin too, since it travels deeper without causing sunburn symptoms but still damaging the tissue, so a shorter wavelength might even be preferable.

At least for TruffleRuby it's to improve testing, no hidden intent.

And the PR is by someone not at Oracle, and his interest is to run some Rails app on TruffleRuby, and for that he'd like to ensure all gems work fine on TruffleRuby, which seems a very legitimate thing to do, isn't it?
My family is a living proof of this. I have 2 sisters, I was a boy, and yet, I am the only programmer. GW-BASIC’s evil plan with its marketing oriented towards me, its black-and-white text, and their 10 20 30 LIST instructions, or the white reference book of the Amstrad 8086 in English which, as a French boy of 7, was incredibly opaque (which I still read and memorized by heart), those were all directed towards me.

Or perhaps it is time to admit that talks which are drawing inferences are just talks, and while my sisters were asking dads to draw horses, I was asking dad to offer me a drawing of a powerpoint, because things that plug to each other fascinated me.

If sex creates differences in the body, it is only stunning ideology that draws us to affirm it creates no difference in average in the brain, and that everything is socially constr... No, I’m not James Damore.

“Catastrophic privacy” is quite a huge claim - do you have any actual examples? My perspective is that iphone privacy protections have actually gotten better and more sophisticated over time, and I’m much more comfortable having older non-techie relatives on iOS for that reason. When it comes to providing them tech support ios has always been less finicky than android.

You should, it provides a phantastic editing experience.
Accessibility (I'm thinking blind / partially sighted) -- while a terminal is technically accessible, it is not a great experience.

There are some blind people who do use, and love, vim/Emacs, bit GUI editors which integrate with their OSes accessibility features are usually a better experience.

If you want an example, sometimes for errors vim prints something at the bottom, it's not clear to a screen reader if it should go read that, and why.
That would be feasible with homomorphic encryption, however current implementations are very far from practical applications (extreme resource consumption, terrible performance).

"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." - not actually Hari Seldon
I tend to apply much the same rule as emptyparadise - once conditional logic appears, it's time for a rethink. Part of my rationale for this is that I assume that I'm dealing with the thin end of the wedge - if there's enough complexity in the task to warrant conditionals, there's likely a whole bunch more (or there will be in future) that I haven't encountered or grasped yet.

I'm thus willing to take the time-hit on rewriting in Python, because I'm betting that resulting code will be easier to adapt and easier to troubleshoot as this extra complexity gradually comes into view.
Population growth is probably somewhat of a factor. Oil palms produce so much oil that they are one of the most productive food crops as well as leading the pack in oil production -- competing with rice or potatoes in calories per acre. As another poster noted, the largest consumer is India where it's used for cooking.
And, yet (with important caveats, especially around core count right now), they, er... do? I mean, what are you looking for? People to fake benchmarks to show them as slower than they actually are?

I believe the Paradox of Choice talks about something like this. When you make a mistake you can either A) introspect, own up to it and learn from it or B) shirk responsibility and push it off on the environment/context instead of oneself. A) will make you a better person but B) will make you happier. The key the author stated was basically a balance of the two. Own up to the things that are really within your power to control but don’t be a masochist and take the blame for every little thing. You’ll be happier in the long run.

Maybe. I don't think it's a given though.

> At some point you will have to break something. Some of the new stuff will be incompatible with the old stuff. No one has a crystal ball.

Why? At no point does making something modular have to break something. Usually when something breaks during modularization it's because it was already broken and modularization simply made it need to get fixed.

I look forward to the slow but steady reinvention of various coreutils in Rust or Go. Rg-ripgrep is better than grep. Fd-find is better than find. Exa is better than ls/tree. Fzf has no equivalent. I'm still looking for a ping that lets me timeout less than 1 second.

There are so many assumptions baked in to the early tools that a complete rewrite just bypasses.
That isn't what "fraud" means in this context. Ad fraud is when you have something other than a real user loading or clicking on ads. For example, I could stand up a headless browser to click on the ads on my site. This would get me more of a payout from my advertisers, but would also be fraud.

A stable identifier makes identifying this sort of behavior much easier.

>It is too early to say whether Black Lives Matter and other pandemic-inspired protests will result in significant political reforms.

If anything there will be the opposite. Go spend any time at /r/Bad_Cop_No_Donut/ and you too are forced to acknowledge police brutality. A tremendous amount of evidence makes it clear. Worse yet, it's not new. Police brutality has been ongoing forever, what changed recently is that everyone has a HD camera in their pocket and are recording.

So why wont that change? There has been some minor things like body cameras; but race isnt consideration. Their brutality is against white people all the same. The fix will only come when the police are no longer employed by the state.

Right now you have broken liability. Police officer brutalizes someone, but he isnt required to keep personal insurance. So the next liability goes to the derpartment but they dont have insurance neither, then it goes to the government itself. So the government is incentivized to cover for itself.

Privatize police and suddenly you broke the chain. Government can outright put anti-brutality right in the contract. When a brutality event occurs, the government is happy to investigate and punish the brutality.

The tested Intel chip (i9-9880H) has an RRP of 556.00, and is generally in practice found in laptops in the $2000 range. The tested AMD chip has an RRP of $500 (though that comparison is arguably less fair as the core count is an issue). The tested Apple computers both cost about $1000. That's for the whole computer, not just the chip. You can have one of these for as little as $699 (though you shouldn't; 8GB of RAM really isn't enough).
