This is strange. Our company uses Teams and I have never experienced any of those problems in 2 years.

The only problems I have had with Teams is the robotic-voice quality and the strange fascination that Microsoft has in changing their UI's from update to update leading me to keep hunting for that button which was there previously but can't be found now since its moved to some other place.

Launched in Late 2016, OnlyFans Will Reach $2B in Revenue for 2020
"OnlyFans numbers are huge: 85m+ users, 1m+ creators, $2B in 2020 revenue."

"This year, the subscription-based social media service will earn $300 million in profits before accounting for expenses like income taxes, amortization"

I am super curious how this platform became so popular. If you ever had the chance to check the platform, it's not really user-friendly, it's quite slow and a lot of users complain about multiple bugs. From my research, it seems the number of employees is extremely small

I also tried to find how many people are working at this company and seems the team is pretty small (less than 15 persons) and it seems they don't have their own technical team.

What I am really curious about is what was the strategy to get more than 1 millions creators in less than 4 years?

Smart motorways only adjust the speed limit down, and when there is no speed displayed then there are speed cameras every .5 miles or so enforcing 70mph
>Beyond that, if you don’t want to get a fine, don’t speed

My concern with this kind of thing is less about the speed limit and more that I believe people should be able to move around in public without being identified and tracked by the police. It’s one thing if the police have to observe something suspicious and then take the time to stop you for ID to find out who you are. It’s another if they can track and identify everyone all the time passively.

The statement

>But at least two independent studies suggest Secure Communities didn’t have any effect on crime rates, according to Light, despite deporting more than 200,000 people in its first four years.

>“If the plan was to make communities safer, to reduce the likelihood of, say, a felony violent assault in these communities through deportation, it did not deliver on that promise,” Light says

would seem to contradict

>“They have a tremendous incentive to avoid criminal wrongdoing. The greatest fear among undocumented immigrants is getting in legal trouble that leads to deportation,” says Light

That incentive exists because the law is enforced. If the law were not enforced, the incentive would disappear and crime would increase. QED the Secure Communities program prevents crime.

I mean, whatever number they pick would have problems. The more planets there are, the easier (more economically viable) it is for spammers/fraudsters/trolls to buy new planets when the old ones get flagged/banned from everywhere. A big part of the professed point of urbit's limited address space is to add an incentive to be polite on social networks through this scarcity, so having more planets than stars in the sky wouldn't make sense.

If they had picked e.g. 10 billion, then the population would still eventually (all going well) rise above that. If they had picked some number so large there would never be that many humans (or if there were, we'd need new networking solutions anyway), it would defeat the point of identity scarcity. And the whole 'disincentivizing trolling' idea had better damn work during the early phases of the network, when adoption is most important, or you risk the whole thing burning when it didn't need to.

The motivations are, of course, still suspect.

>for things like fighting to keep forced labor camps open

That's probably because the framing of this by the media is BS, playing into the trade war objectives and narrative of the US foreign policy.

It's just that these companies have a lot of suppliers in those areas, unrelated with any "labor camps", whereas the US/law has put a wide canvas that includes a huge area and all kinds of inoffensive suppliers. Seeing that the companies can't just cut off their supply chain on the drop of a hat, they ask for extention period, better monitoring on which and if any of their particular suppliers might actually involve such labor, etc.

But that doesn't make for good headlines for the masses, or for good propaganda.
AFAIK some of the breakthroughs in the delivery mechanisms are relatively new. Some of the companies now making a covid vaccine were talking about running a trial for a flu vaccine in the next few years, but obviously that was far less urgent and all the steps (getting permission, getting participants, actually running the study without "unlimited" money, ...) would take longer.

(mRNA would be a good candidate for a flu vaccines because they are fast to produce, which in theory reduces the amount of guessing needed to make the "right" flu vaccine for the year, but of course a) flu vaccines already are a thing even if sometimes wrong and b) a flu vaccine isn't given as high priority overall)

I think the article misses that the HP 9100A was developed after HP acquired the patent of Olivetti Programma 101 and its italian r&d electronics laboratory. Programma 101 was the first personal computer ever made and the first to actually fit on a desktop. It was also the first to use the magnetic card that was able to read and save programs, the precursor of cassettes and floppy disks or the first memory format based on "magnetic paint". The patents and the laboratory sold to HP were fundamental to fuel the revolution of the following years and to make the HP 9100A. Italians won that race at the time, more than a decade before Gates and Jobs. I had the luck to become friend of one of the engineers of the machine, Gastone Garziera, his funniest quote when he finishes to describe his masterpiece is "Very very easy, as americans say".

Sure, some of those have finite memory, but RNNs are practically limited–not as easily quantified.

I see what you're saying about the single-step operation appearing unique, but I also think that RNNs can be viewed through a lens such that they look like "normal" programming concepts like generators and folding iterators.
Indeed, this effect has been studied and documented:

Per the study, crime among an illegal immigrant population fell post-amnesty in repose to increased crime reporting. Conversely, this implies that when members of a community report crime less often as a result of their immigration status - which the study finds to be the case - crime in those communities is higher than it would be otherwise.
They're focussed on the heavily used sections though, ie where they are more likely to be encountered. By that measure (kms driven), they're much more common.
> I believe people should be able to move around in public without being identified and tracked by the police.

You can. Just not in a car, because cars have license plates so not only can police identify you, anyone who can lookup a plate can. It’s non-anonymous almost by definition.

Where I live the registry is public so if I want I can ask for the owner of a license plate from the relevant authority.

I wonder what the incentive model for the business and sales people selling the ads looks like. I understand that developers may be well intentioned there. However, they build a dual use technology and as long as the incentives for business people managing the system are purely profit oriented it is clear that the system will be used in both ways.
If a law is bad when enforced, then the law needs to be changed, not the enforcement.

Arbitrary enforcement leads to discrimination and corruption.

Regarding the speed limit, I think the laws are just finde and should simply be enforced.

> Really? And whats with all the proprietary blobs? The Modules (like nvidia), for the end-user it changes absolutely nothing, having bad firmware your wifi will not work, the license is absolutely not important for the end-user.

I think the sibling comment covered most of this well, but I just wanted to add that relying on closed-source drivers is far from necessary with many setups of modern day Linux. All of the drivers on my computer, save for the processor microcode, are open source and for the most part, bug free. In fact, they are probably mostly bug free because they have so many eyes on them.

> Nearly no one cares that most Androids have stoneage Linux kernels, whats important for them is that the Android-Runtime (aka Play-store) can download and execute "Apps".

While many users might not know this is the reason, I think the copyleft license of Linux has let it become where it is currently, as it forces vendors who might otherwise release proprietary blobs addressing issues must instead release the changes with a license such that it can be improved upstream. This pushes companies who spend the energy to fix the bugs in an otherwise good kernel to give those changes back to the community, similar to how the companies took from the community in order to use the kernel.

> > potentially improved kernel

> Or potentially worsened kernel, which now sits in you closed down IoT device, again the license is NOT important for the normal end-user.

Well I think this is a great argument in favor of GPLv3 over GPLv2, which bans this (see [1]). This is another reason why end users could care about the license used in the code. GPLv3 code guarantees the end user the freedom to modify the code and run it on their device (or apply other people's modifications). Though I will concede that this is less of an end-user-centric idea because it requires a decent level of technical competency.

You can wait in a threaded model too, right? The only difference is that if you do so, you're blocking that thread. The pain comes when you mix the two models, because async often deals really poorly with blocking. In general, the differences between the two models when used cleanly are quite small. When most waits are no-ops, threads have significantly lower overhead; but when waits are common, especially if long-lived, async overhead is much lower.

In fact, if you want to minimize the chance of deadlocks, using threads or processes for every action is safest; although of course that means you may get issues with concurrent modification. But though that risk is serious, it's worth noting that async code doesn't actually solve it; after all, every await may mean a context switch, and thus if you have shared mutable state living across an await, all bets are still off. async-only code with exactly 1 thread only provides safety to the extent that modification is encapsulated and that the module within which the internal datastructures are updated does not use async. And that's not nothing; it's kind of as if a java object was synchronized on all methods. But it's also not reliable enough that you can just forget about concurrent modification, either.

But if all you want to do is automate a browser, those overheads are completely irrelevant, and this story about concurrent modification likely is too. You could use either model equally well. To be explicit: there's nothing about promises that means you need to use async. It's only once you start chaining a bunch of them that you enter async territory, but why would you ever do that in a threaded model when automating a browser? The browser is so heavy weight, just fork a bunch of processes already, and KISS: no need to worry about any of this, at all.

Despite the downvotes you’ve received, you are correct. The under-reporting of crime among illegal immigrant communities for the reason you identify has been studied and documented:

https://www.iza.org/publications/dp/10306/silence-of-the-inn...

Since most victims of violent crime know their attacker [0], this may imply an under-reporting of crime committed by members of the undocumented community as well.

Alright, my previous comment was too fuzzy, let me try to be more clear.

Directly contrasting a specific "non-white marginalized group" with "all white people" does, for me, evoke the impression as if the assumption was that there were no people among "white people" that could be marginalized the same way.

> He only said that that serial killer targets black runaways, and that that is a marginalized group.

This is the part of the comment I was replying to that I took issue with and felt I had to rebut, because it's simply a false summary. The original comment definitely was a stronger statement than that through the broad comparison it drew.

If the original post had been phrased "... rather than white middle class people" (which I believe was the intention), I would completely agree with it.
>> we would have to assume that any group with a high arrest rate must be a group that commits many crimes

That doesn’t hold - there could be more police near a group of people who commit the same number of crimes but because there are more police resources, there would be more arrests. There are lots of reasons this doesn’t hold.

>> saying they're less likely to commit crimes is a speculative inference

It is also undisputed though. We’ve always known illegal immigrants avoid making the kind of trouble that risks run ins with the law (i.e. there are far fewer “safe” crimes for them to commit) because the penalties are deportation.
> Imagine a near future where speed limits are sent via radio then enforced by the car computer.

I think if a law were passed that forced people to adopt that, there would be a backlash, and then the speed limits would very quickly be increased as well — to a far more reasonable level. I would imagine highway speed limits would rise to 110 mph (177 kmph) or something, which is far more reasonable considering how safe cars are today, and the sheer number of hours it would save in commuting times.

(If a road heavily used by commuters changed its speed limit from 55 mph to 110 mph, you’d be cutting each person’s commute time by up to half. That would add up to million of hours of time saved in a large-ish city, and not to mention, less road damage due to the lower amount of time cars are on the road, and probably less energy usage once car manufacturers optimize their engines/motors for maximum efficiency at the 110 mph point.)
The article makes some good points, but the title is somewhat clickbaity and reductive. Blanket statements such as "Buy don't build" are unlikely to be a good rule-of-thumb to follow imho.

However, at the end, a somewhat more sensible advice is presented:

> I suggest that you prioritize buying to building, unless building will provide a real sustainable advantage for the business.

I generally only buy things to save time when I really don't have it, and usually as a temporary solution. Buying isn't an all-in or all-out solution. There are many levels at which you can decide to either buy or maintain the thing yourself. In a lot of average/usual situations, reading how to properly setup the service rather than just buying it from x-as-a-service will provide valuable learning not just for the setup itself, but also for tooling used around it, which will make developers even happier and more productive. For example, I wouldn't buy Redis/Elasticsearch as a service if I can spare a couple of days to read how to set it up (and of course there are always exceptions). Care about security first, then efficiency. It will take time, but it's not as difficult as it's made to seem.

Quick example, a few years ago, I witnessed a company save more than 80% of their hosting cost by switching from Heroku to a simple EC2/Ansible setup. They're still buying, but there are levels. Also, it helps to know what are the actual requirements when you're buying.

Thinking that buying everything as-a-service will save time is a misconception imo, as you'll likely end up having to spend time reading the docs of whatever you're buying. Decision changes will also cost more time because unless that service was using an open standard, you'll likely end up having to change a few things.

There's great value in learning open standards and how to automate setups. With that being said, no one can learn everything at once, so if the need is urgent and you're short on time and have properly studied the financial model of the service, yes, buying is a good option.
