As someone who grew up in the "enlargement of the internet" (20 right now), I'd say that porn negitavly impacted me for sure. I think I was like 13 when I first found porn on a nook tablet I was given for my birthday.

The issue, looking back on it, really stemmed from my mom not knowing how to stop me from accessing it, she, and all my mentors, grew up in an era like you described, the infinity of the internet (and therefor porn) did not exist yet.

Today's parents, in their giving of ipads to toddlers as a de-facto baby sitter or whatever, really need to understand the consequences of such, and how easily one can stumble into porn, and what they can do to combat that. Laws like this are doing a service, sure, but in a way that feels like the antithesis of the country/the internet.

I don't know, porn isn't inherintly bad, the porn industry seems to be based on the research I've done, but it really seems to exist in a similar place that any addiction does, and the negative implications that has.

I don't know if this answers your question, never commented on here before, but I thought I fit the bill of what you were asking. Really, parents just need to be more alert, and maybe that's impossible, I've never had a kid, but I know its a huge responsibility, and that you gotta know what you are getting yourself and your child into when you give them the entirety of the internet.
I'm guessing it's because that explanation still makes no sense at all. Of course "la gente" has a gender - it's a noun in a language where every noun has a grammatical gender. Any noun that you would translate into in Spanish would have a gender after being translated. This is something someone would learn about in the first day of class for any language with grammatical gender...

Also, it's ridiculous to imply that the English language, which already lacks grammatical gender, needs to modified so that a translator working with gendered language knows that a noun lacks gender. It's English - they already know that! Besides, the translators choose which word to use when translating anyhow. There's not like there's a strict 1-1 mapping of "folks" to "la gente". In some contexts, you would translate it differently.

It's just such an absurd claim, and it doesn't pass the sniff test at all.

Is it a bad thing that Hades doesn't have an official Linux client if it runs perfectly under Proton? They seem to be willing to invest heavily to get the game onto more platforms considering that (AFAIK) they rewrote the entire game in C++ to be able to port it to Switch, so it would surprise me if this is a "we don't care about you" situation and not a "Proton is good enough and doing a from-scratch Linux port would be expensive" situation. For their games before Hades they were using a portable middleware layer (FNA or MonoGame) and the C++-based engine they licensed for Hades is not the same.

I definitely do not believe that Supergiant's choice here was motivated in any way by Proton. I think the costs simply didn't justify a custom port for them this time if making it a better experience would be difficult.

P.S. Hades has an official Vulkan client, not just Direct3D, so the gap between native and emulated on Proton is much smaller than it would be for many games.
I am one of those people who dislikes both. Not least because they complement and reinforce each other, plus the mania of the woke really looks like a redirected religious fervor to me. Perhaps people cannot really exist without some ersatz religion, so if Christianity goes away, something else takes its place.

If you can filter out X, you can filter out Y, and once you have a censorship system in place, the list of banned things will only get longer and longer, especially if the main qualification is that someone feels offended by that.
If I had to guess it's a huge laundry-list of organizations that for some legacy reason (Going back 10, 15, 20 years) are running on-premises Exchange, and don't have a full time person one of whose roles is to keep up on patches, security advisories and such.

I can't tell from the article, but was this vulnerability already being exploited but to a lesser extent or did the hackers apparently discover it as a result of the patch being released? If the latter, then maybe we need processes for patching faster than people can reverse engineer the patches.
Utah has actually made some interesting changes lately. Within the last few years they've legalized Budweiser and gotten rid of the Zion Curtain mandate (which seemed like an awful idea in terms of safety. One waiter told me they called it the "Cosby Curtain").

Maybe some day Utahns will be able to order a glass of wine at dinner before they've decided what they want to eat.
I think it depends on which topics one holds most dear.

If you are in the minority on an issue, you may feel something is overbearing but the other side may feel it's "reasonable". For example, if one isn't a gun owner, then they aren't something one has to know and deal with. So one may feel that more regulation is not infringing on rights or freedoms.
MSFT still outperformed SP500 index this week.
The cloud angle is interesting; on one hand, it creates an even-more-centralized single point of failure. On the other hand, given that virtually every computing system out there is a house of cards, letting the experts focus on securing (and updating!) just a single one might be the best defense.

If trans people were asking to be referred to as "people who were assigned a gender at birth but do not identify with that gender now" instead of "men" or "trans men" or whatnot, one might object to the lengthiness of that, too.
GOP isn't a person. It's a loose confederacy of people. For small government freedom-loving Republicans, go to e.g. parts of Texas.

Utah is a religious conservative. That's an entirely different sort of person. It's a demographic which, in many ways, would align better with Democrats, if not for a few wings of the DNC such as:

* Dawkins-toting militant atheist wing

* Pro-choice feminist wing

That's a big part of why Mitt Romney so often sides with Democrats on key votes, and takes so much flack from other parts of the GOP. He was also governor of Massachusetts, which is about as blue as you get. It take a special kind of Republican to win there.

I don't agree with a lot of what Utah Republicans stand for, but I don't see much hypocrisy there. It's pretty consistent:

* Against: Porn, anti-abortion, homosexuality, drinking, smoking, drugs

* For: Helping poor people (although with a complex split of private charity, church, and government), good education, clean strong neighborhoods, community, families, churches

COVID19 went a bit wonky, but with a few exceptions like that, it's mostly straight-line honest Mormon views.

Curiously, pre-Romney, who seems among the least corrupt politicians in government, Utah was represented by Orrin Hatch, who seemed to be among the most corrupt of the senators at the time.
There will always be a niche that wants to do music production or engineering and can't afford Apple productions. Newbies or living outside the western world for example.

> “One of the most difficult challenges I work with are the effects from pornography,” Gibson said. “Average age of first exposure, which is often accidental, is 10 to 11 years old. Anything we can do to help prevent that puts us in a proactive rather than a defensive position.

I'm sure many of us can confirm exposure at such a young age. My friends and I were all exposed around that age. I hate the fact that I was exposed before I had the capacity to understand what it meant.

This is absolutely a battle worth fighting. 10 year old children should not be exposed to anything so addictive. In my experience it all too often results in lifelong addiction that leads to broken marriages.

Many of us think this type of action by the government violates people's rights. But when a right enables suffering and wrongdoing on a large scale, it's time to rethink that right. Rights should serve humanity, not the other way around.

For example state's rights became a shield for slavery. The Civil War violated state's rights and ended thereby slavery. I think this is how it should work.
Small government means that when you see a family starving you don’t have enough to give them to get back on their feet because it’s all been spent on a military contract. It means that we can’t afford a healthcare program like every other civilized country in the world because we need to keep insurance companies from going under (except your kidneys; your kidneys have universal healthcare, did you know?). It means we can’t afford to build decent roads or pay for inner city schools because god forbid we educate people and they vote for their own economic interest. Small government means don’t regulate Wall Street because what if the stock market looks bad and boomers lose retirement portfolio value. And it means letting an 11 year old die in his own bed by freezing to death than forcing Texas to upgrade their power grid because companies saving a dime is more important and Texans would rather sacrifice lives than do anything about what had happened to them.

But also no porn, no abortions, no disrespecting POTUS (unless he is black), no access to healthcare or safe policing for brown people, and no vote unless you are male, white, and uneducated.

The GOP has been morally bankrupt since they took in the Southern Democrats and the parties flipped in ideology. They are the same party that thought owning human beings was justified as long as it padded profits and never really recovered from losing that argument. They are the party that unironically supports flying traitorous flags because it’s their heritage. They are the same types of people who would have sided with England in the American Revolution because you have to love your country no matter what. And they are the same people who are getting cozy with the people who fly swastikas because anything is apparently better than being a democrat.

Are you really surprised at this particular headline coming from a conservative state?
The key point is the Sun is already paid for. :)
In the grand scheme of things we don't have a sudden population collapse. Fertility rates are at about 1.7-1.8 in the developed world, and we've got population momentum up till about 9B people. If current fertility rates continue we'll have about a 10% decline every generation once population momentum exhausts itself, which is pretty typical of a bubble that overshot its logistic growth limit and then is returning to equilibrium. (See eg. the stock market over the last week.)

We have some additional complexities in that a lot of those growth limits are because of the interplay between economics and population. There's plenty more room for humans on earth; there's not more room within major metropolises without triggering our "It's too crowded; better not breed" instincts. But economic forces needed to sustain those high populations promote concentration and crowding.
Eh, it's a tossup. Commerce clause protections for interstate trade only go so far, some attempts by states to regulate what can be sold or how have passed court tests, others have not. It hinges on whether the regulation would be discriminatory or overly burdensome.

To get such a law struck down, phone sellers would have to prove to the court that setting up Utah-specific phones would be excessively difficult.

I don't think it would be struck down with the commerce clause, but it would be close.

What do you mean by tribalism?

What is inconsistent about thinking hate speech should be deplatformed and porn shouldn't be? Or vice versa? It seems to me like you're implying that the only reasonable and honest principle of free expression is completely absolute and anything else is cynical.

People can agree on the value of free expression and agree that there should be limits which align with their values while their values diverge. Is people having different values tribalism?
I sincerely hope this results in Utah becoming an absolute technological backwater due to device manufacturers being slow to equip new technology for these new requirements.

>>Why should your vote cancel out that of another citizen who wants to build on their own property? What gives you the right? Why don't you and your neighbors buy the property around you if you want to keep it as is?

Good question. And you answered it.

We ALREADY DID BUY THE PROPERTY, each of us did. We, and our forebears decided collectively, as the property owners in our locale, that these are the rules that WE want to live under (plus, my town also voted to tax ourselves to actively fund open land purchases, and often donates to conservation groups).

These Ts & Cs are plain to anyone who wants to move in. If you want a 1-fam+2acres, here you go. If you want to build a dense-pack condo, go elsewhere. I'd love to put up a barn for my carbon fiber fabrication biz, but I knew that was not an option when I purchased - I chose this.

Yes, it increases prices, it also increases value.

The increase in prices also increases the supply, even if not in that exact location. Some towns see the opportunity to make more, and they relax their zoning laws and allow denser development.

Some towns don't, and preserve their open space. But all it takes is a couple massive developments breaking the rules to literally destroy generations of maintaining unbuilt spaces and purchasing open land.

I just do not see where it is on anyone outside the locale has the right to say that it is their right to simply destroy all that investment because they want it. That's no different from me declaring that I want this 100 square mile citiscape to be razed and returned to woodland without paying for it.

Again, the solution is exactly as you suggested: buy it.

If you and your friends are so convinced that it is a greater good to have densepack development, then pay the taxes or form a fund to buy sufficient land and become citizens of the locale in sufficient numbers to change the zoning and build it out.

Just because you are a citizen of the country does not mean you are a citizen of this town. Just because I am a citizen of the country, does not mean I'm a citizen of your town.

I shouldn't be able to set the rules in your town any more than you should be able to set them in mine (and yes, some things like environmental standards should be set on a national or even international level).
I studied with Mormons for a year just out of curiosity, and didn’t get that vibe at all. The people I met were big on the “be fruitful and multiply” thing.

Porn is terrible for human beings on like a million different levels, especially the young and under developed brains, and none of those reasons are religious. Just biologically it’s like a diet of sugar to a child, equally poisonous.
Ok, if a law that passed in France isn’t relevant, let’s look at proposals from politicians in the US: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/12/3/20965459/t...

I enjoy splitting hairs too, but I feel that the distinction between government and platform authority, and Europe and US law, would be used by either side of the porn-deplatforming-supporter and hate-speech-deplatforming-supporter dichotomy when convenient, so is not really a relevant distinction. We can probably locate similar proposals from each of the government/commercial (authority) and porn/hate-speech (content) quadrants, and observe the same dichotomy of reactions.

I feel these are all just justifications that people will deploy when applicable to the tribe they are defending, they don’t explain away the tribes.
Agree, I get the sense we're not getting the full picture here. There's some information / context missing
> I thought Utah was a GOP state?

Not just a GOP state, but specifically a politically-dominant-historically-persecuted-by-government-religious-group state.

> What happened to 'small government'?

The dominant faction of the GOP has never really been about small government, but tends to use “small government” as a slogan to avoid debating the role of government when opposing things they see as outside the proper role of government. It's dominantly a right party that seeks to appeal to libertarians to bulk up it's base of support, not a (even just right-) libertarian party (though they do have a right-libertarian faction, whose members—and even candidates—have a somewhat fluid interface with the Libertarian Party, which is a right-leaning libertarian party.)

That said, you might think the politically dominant group in Utah would be keenly aware of the dangers of a dominant group imposing strict social controls through the power of government, but clearly they are fine with that as long as they are the dominant group.
Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA)
Is the idea that only govt can bring them to justice?

Mostly, yes. The main enforcement authority is the government regulator in each member state (and the UK, which retains the system post-Brexit).
I remember all of the late night movies with breasts showing.

It's a little scary they are all gone from tv.

Back then you could see some hardcore stuff at the corner store if you reached up to the nudity mags.

I remember the nudity cards.. the older ones where the women had hair everywhere.

Kinda of sad everything is repressed to a point where nothing is shown anymore but people are still worried that nudity and sex will jump out at your kids and scare them.
While I agree, I find I learn best by watching then doing.

Maybe we have different standards of what revealing means. To me it would be if she were wearing a bikini, showing underwear, having a low V-cut top etc.

She's only "revealing" her cleavage because she has so much cleavage to reveal. Which proves my original point that this wouldn't be an issue with a woman with the same clothes but small breasts.

> the law should be written to ban both using a phone or playing harmonica while driving without specifically mentioning either, except perhaps as examples.

Slippery slope arguments shouldn’t apply to specific provisions in the law that target likely scenarios.

Let’s say you said that the driver shouldn’t drive distracted. You have now outlawed listening to radio, music, or others talking in a way not conducive to giving full attention to the car, perhaps even while the car is being driven automatically, if there is any chance of the driver needing to drive manually such that they must be ready to drive.

That said, I agree that the method of generating the outcome need not always be defined. For example, in some legislation, companies/vendors are named specifically, which may lead to de facto support by the government of some private institutions, which seems anticompetitive.
It's unlikely these filters will ban only a subset of pornography that qualifies as obscenity, though.
I'd say it is the responsibility of parents and users of digital services to protect themselves, not the government's. When the government imposes such a rule on everything unilaterally, there are two consequences:

1. It sets a precedent for future "regulatory creep": if we can force tech companies to filter porn, why not filter other things? Who will stop us?

2. When the government makes a law, it impacts everything. There is no discretion, because everyone is under equal risk of liability if the law is violated. What would the consequences of this be for modelling, legitimate sexual services, and other fields? Would the damage this does be amplified by how it meshes with other laws? There is so much ambiguity that making such a sweeping and damaging action will have reverberative consequences everywhere that nobody thought of beforehand.

Stop conflating introversion with whether or not somebody is a 'team player'.
Right, I think your hypothesis is reasonable. I think your degree of confidence in it, though, is not. I don't think you have evidence for it that stretches as far as "every culture on the planet."
Yes, distributing the same number of hacks over a period of time would on its own make things a little bit less fragile. In general, having a single point of failure is bad for the stability of any large system. But more likely: imagine all these orgs were distributed across three or four providers. A bad actor comes up with a zero-day for one of them. They can now a) go ahead and use that, far fewer systems are compromised and awareness of the threat is raised, or b) wait a much longer time until they come up with vulns for all the other systems. Either of those is less bad than the current situation.

These days it's starting to feel like China might get to a point where they could shut down an entire country, all at once, with the flip of a switch.
Coursera is significantly better in my experience with their deep learning specialization. Lots of good jupyter notebook work and quizzes.
