At worst they can use something like have obfuscated code (eg. widevine L3) for attestation.
The term "sex worker" is a campaign spearheaded by pimps, brothel owners and similar creatures that profit form the exploitation of women to legitimize their so called industry.

The goal is to make it seem like prostitution is work like any other work and should by that logic be legalized. They try to make it seem like it is about helping prostitutes and "empowering" them and try to appeal to liberals when in reality it is a campaign that legitimizes exploitation and violence against women.

> One of the most disturbing discoveries I made was that the loudest voices calling for legalisation and normalisation of prostitution are the people who profit from it: pimps, punters and brothel owners. They have succeeded in speaking for the women under their control.

> Legalisation of prostitution in Germany, Holland and Australia has not led to a decrease in violence, HIV rates or in fewer women being murdered. I met a former ‘sex workers rights’ activist in Melbourne, Sabrinna Valisce, who, confronted with the reality of decriminalisation, had a dramatic change of heart. ‘I thought it would improve things if everything was legal and above board, but it just gave more power to the johns and the brothel-owners.
> But it is individuals, not governments, who mine Bitcoin.

Bitcoin mining has outgrown this stage. It's more like companies, now.

Early Bitcoin proponents don't like governments much. Chinese miners are another story. They see a business opportunity and have no interest in losing social credit points or, worse, going to a labor camp.

I've heard stories like this multiple times. Both on Android and iPhone. I don't believe it's a coincidence. The chemist is probably sharing the time of purchase along with items bought with Google, FB (probably indirectly but data gets there). These services probably have access to your location, either via your phone or via network provider. They try to match. If the likelihood is high enough (e.g. chemist had few customers at that time), show ad.

It's possible they match using location but they might have other data that increases the matching like payment provider which has a lot of your personal data as well as knows your purchased something from that store at that time.
> Chrome has not started preventing third party cookies yet, but they're the last holdout and have already stated they will kill them shortly.

Chrome's original announcement about phasing out third-party cookies is explicit about new technologies like Privacy Sandbox (which includes FLoc) being how third-party cookies will no longer be needed:

"After initial dialogue with the web community, we are confident that with continued iteration and feedback, privacy-preserving and open-standard mechanisms like the Privacy Sandbox can sustain a healthy, ad-supported web in a way that will render third-party cookies obsolete. Once these approaches have addressed the needs of users, publishers, and advertisers, and we have developed the tools to mitigate workarounds, we plan to phase out support for third-party cookies in Chrome. Our intention is to do this within two years." -- https://blog.chromium.org/2020/01/building-more-private-web-...

Money and (loss of) fame are great motivators.

One thing that getInstancesIds() might mean is "get the (multiple) ids for each of multiple instances".

I don't know why an instance would have more than one id, probably more plausible with different nouns, but a similarly named function might return an array of arrays, or a flattened equivalent, possibly uniqued.

Probably a bad idea though. I have been guilty (though pleasurably, pridefully guilty) of abusing plurals -- day, days, dayses etc. If you can let the types do the talking that's obviously better, and more descriptive (and less eccentric) names can help a lot with communication and clarity, but there is also sometimes a place for brevity, and for levity.

Nah that's typical I think. If I'm biking a longer way I have to force myself to eat some around like 35 to 40 miles, and then every 15 or 20 after. I don't feel hungry but I start getting noticably weaker.

In fact, when building up for distance cycling, I felt like learning when to eat and making my saddle and handlebars more comfortable was equally as important as building strength. Extra strength makes you finish your trip faster, but you'll probably still complete it even slowly, but if your saddle isn't right for you, the pain can be insurmountable.

The "shudder" was mostly a silly joke. I've had both and of course they are both great tasting. I do prefer the texture of the pulled pork. I think it takes sauce better. Speaking of which, the BBQ sauces [0] are what really bring out regional bias that sometimes borders on a religious fervor.

For me, its that thinner tangy vinegar based Carolina style for pulled pork. For brisket, I prefer the Memphis style sauce. I will say I have recently had some of the Alabama white sauce on chicken and found it more compelling than I would have expected. Not my favorite, but sort of interesting. My goto though is still Carolina style.

By the way, the first time I had pulled pork was southwest of Jackson near the border, so it is not just in the east.

> I don't think I agree with this take. You haven't cut away abstraction, you've changed to a different kind of abstraction. Linux's 'everything is a file' abstraction is just that, an abstraction.

If I try to interpret the bit about abstraction, I lean more towards "less opaque" being the intended meaning. On Windows and Mac, it's harder to see what is happening. On Linux, it's all exposed and there to tinker with.

In my case 8000 steps (around 5.5 km) is something I am able to pull every day. Having a dog makes it more fun.

I've tried also 10000 steps for a while but it was non-practical, just couldn't fit that extra mile.

During the 6-week streak of 8000+ step days, it felt as if a switch 'flipped' and I went from a plateau of 90kg to 85kg (what I saw as a target) and surprisingly am able to maintain it at that level for a few years now, without almost any changes in dietary or activity habits, even throughout the 2020 lockdown.

I'm a typical developer/couch potato, I do not avoid occasional junk food, beer, extra slice of cake etc. I try not to eat late, except for nuts and seeds. I wholeheartedly recommend Turkish? (white, large sort) unsalted sunflower seeds, which have nutritious benefits according to Dr.Google, plus it definitely helps the next morning.
I think this is a naive take. Crypto currency is a token of exchange. Of course it can be regulated just like everything else. All you need to do is make examples of people who get caught.
Reminds me of something Terry Crews said it in a Reddit AMA a while ago. This is inexact, but somebody asked how a person who is new to exercise should start going to the gym. Terry Crews' response was that this person should start by spending a week going to the gym, reading magazines for 45 minutes, and then going back home.

The idea was that this helps you develop the habit of going to the gym, having a pleasant time, and not seeing it as a scary and foreign place where everybody's better than you (you're probably not gonna get insecure about somebody else reading more magazines than you are). Once you have that habit and familiarity, you can start actually exercising without those mental obstacles.

Funny advice, but it's an interesting way of thinking about building new habits.

It also reminds me of people on various fitness subreddits who will expend a bunch of effort trying to craft an optimal workout routine when their baseline is barely working out at all. Just pick something you like and do it at a moderate intensity for a few months! It's way better than nothing, and you'll accumulate random knowledge along the way that will help you come up with something better later.

I used to this this. Now I think it's mostly the steroids.

I mean, yes, obviously having trainers helps, but really the basics of a good exercise plan are pretty readily available. As for equipment, really most gyms have enough equipment to get 95% of what most actors achieve.

And yes, it's part of their livelihood, but they can't actually spend every waking hour on training. Both because it's actually detrimental to gaining more muscle, but also because actors actually do have other things to do, like acting in other things, learning lines, appearances, etc.

This is not to take away from their hard work and sacrifices w.r.t. diet. Obviously they have to work very hard at it. But the actual reason most people won't end up "looking like a super-hero", even if they can devote lots of time to training and dieting, is because of the steroids.

(Lots of people do take steroids, btw.)
TL;DR - because that's what they think we want to hear.

I'd stumbled across Camp Century via the propaganda video posted on YouTube describing the project. My first thought was "this is not in fact a scientific mission". I was both right and wrong.

Right in that the cover story of "scientific exploration" was clearly bullshit. The mission was to test the viability of deploying nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles under the ice sheet.

But wrong in that, as the actual mission proved utterly infeasible (as Gallileo might have said of glacial ice, "she moves"), it turned out that the science of determining the suitability of ice for nuclear annihilation purposes ... proved to be damned good and immensely valuable science.

(Science often piggy-backs on other activities --- astronomy on military activities, geology on coal and oil prospecting and extraction, to give two examples.)

The ice cores in which 700,000 -- 1.4 million year-old plant life were found at the bottom of a mile-deep glacial cover, showing that Greenland can in fact melt completely with minimal average global temperature change, in the news recently, came from Camp Century.

The definition of rape hinges on the detail of consent and in many countries the laws are written such that only a man can be guilty of rape and only a woman can be a victim. Many such laws specify that rape occurs when forced vaginal sex occurs and forced anal sex would be called sodomy in many cases.

Lots and lots of "first time sex" acts -- by which I mean first time sex between two specific people -- involves alcohol. Alcohol is the number on date rape drug and men sometimes ply women with so much alcohol that they are falling down drunk and incapable of legally consenting.

Most people imagine that rape involves violent assault where some thug drags a woman by her hair screaming into a dark alley. Most incidents of rape aren't even violent. Date rape and acquaintance rape are probably far more common than violent assault of that sort.

Rape is a hard topic to discuss and there is lots of misinformation out there and people are very uncomfortable with someone trying to educate them. I've had people accuse me of being a rape apologist for talking about what really goes on.

> the majority of abuse cases involve people familiar to the victim and their immediate relatives...

This is and has always been true.

>... regardless of any factor connected to the internet.

The LEO narrative seems something like 'We didn't sex abuse before the internet so the internet must be responsible.'

The flaw with that perspective is that police did not see sex abuse because (historically) they overwhelmingly Did. Not. Care. about children's (or women's) well being.

As evidence, I offer a century of clergy (and other) sex-scandals that were rarely (or possibly never, ever, ever, ever) shut down by police - even tho the cops were the people who's actual damn job it was to put a stop to it.

I think the police officer is in the wrong here, but imo the problems started because Walmart called the police. I have a friend who has worked in lost prevention at 2 different national chain stores, and both of them (at the time at least) had a policy that anyone stealing less than $40 of merchandise was pretty much left to go without much confrontation, or perhaps without any confrontation whatsoever. This story is an excellent example of why that policy is in place. If Walmart had let her go she would have stolen less than $14 worth of things. Even had it been malicious and intentional, so what. I can't imagine Walmart would decide, in retrospect, that this was worth less than $14.

Also, nearly $125B was spent on internet advertising in the US in 2020, per the first estimate I found on the internet [1]. While Google and Facebook keep huge chunks of that, my guess is at least 40% flows through to publishers. So that's a $50B revenue stream to publishers (all sorts of web sites, including news; apps, musicians (via spotify and so forth)) that we're talking about breaking. I really don't believe people have thought through all the effects of that. Not least of which is seeing almost all (reliable) news behind a paywall.

Whether you see a trait as a positive or a negative does not mean it is useful to anyone to ascribe gendered terms to it.

A female software engineer who does not strive for beauty in code, is she less feminine? A male software engineer who strives for code beauty more feminine than the female one?

It is a useless argument to get into, when the actual way to describe the type of code would be a choice of "beautiful, sorted, structured, consistent" instead.

Gender, as such, has nothing to do with it.
