The issue here is that the idea of “100% consensual” is 100% unrealistic. If working as a prostitute is acceptable and pays 10x the average salary, living costs adjust in reaction, then what is consensual about this?

Allowing unhealthy or undesirable behaviors to be economically lucrative doesn’t make them ethically good. To me, the scenario is dystopian because it’s saying we are incapable of managing our own desires to the benefit of society, and instead must (economically) force young women into selling their bodies en masse. Instead of having healthy relationships as the baseline, we just choose the easy option.

Adding to that, prostitution is tied up with human trafficking and lots of other horrible things that have nothing to do with individuals choosing what to do with their bodies.
One is punching down. The other is punching up, or at least laterally.
Then those vying for change should consider using less offensive, divisive, and frankly ridiculous (i.e. defund the police), language.

It's now tiresome to hear the defense "oh defund doesn't mean _defund_...." -- then don't say it. If the charge of white supremacy isn't meant to insult people based on race (overt racism, itself), then maybe convey the thought more clearly.
Facebook may not be the source but it is the megaphone for disinformation and is a threat to freedom.

“ While the blame for President Trump’s incitement to insurrection lies squarely with him, the biggest social media companies — most prominently my former employer, Facebook — are absolutely complicit. They have not only allowed Trump to lie and sow division for years, their business models have exploited our biases and weaknesses and abetted the growth of conspiracy-touting hate groups and outrage machines.”[1]

“What is clear, however, is that Facebook was a “key vector of distribution for untrustworthy websites.” [2]

“ In the Philippines, Facebook staff trained Rodrigo Duterte’s campaign, which then used the platform to circulate disinformation, including a fake endorsement from the pope and a fake sex tape of a political opponent. Since winning, Duterte has paid armies of online trolls to harass, dox and spread disinformation about journalists and political opponents on Facebook. Although Facebook has since organized safety and digital literacy workshops while hiring more Tagalog speakers, journalists still contend that Facebook hasn’t “done anything to deal with the fundamental problem, which is they’re allowing lies to be treated the same way as truth and spreading it … Either they’re negligent or they’re complicit in state-sponsored hate”.” [3]

1. Does aws even accept prepaid cards? many providers don't dye to fraud/abuse concerns

2. Your payment method refusing to accept charges doesn't mean you're still not on the hook for them. Technically they can still send your bill to collections and wreck your credit report. They probably don't do this, but it's still a bad bandaid solution
I think we can support io_uring with some work. Basically we need to have rr manage the real ring buffers and give the application fake ring buffers, then have rr copy data between the fake and real ring buffers at defined times.

> But I get that many women are not in a place where they feel comfortable doing this yet. Saying no is a skill that many of us are very bad at, especially doing it gently and unambiguously.

This is a totally valid point, and I don't mean to make anyone feel bad if they have trouble finding the words to let someone down gently. All I ask is that people should be aware that social awkwardness can sometimes look similar to rudeness, and should make an effort to let socially awkward men down gently, to the extent that they can.

I was approved for a $550,000 mortgage over the phone, during COVID times.

The aircraft detection phenomenon isn't far-fetched sci-fi; here's a video showing what it looks like:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gc0vVk3XBg

Remember that we're talking about a gigantic hunk of airborne metal, with a mandatory 50 miles of separation from any other gigantic hunk of airborne metal.

With that said, the article is claiming to do this detection without the waterfall plot or I/Q data, using nothing but a single scalar data point (receiver SNR) recorded once every two minutes. That is far-fetched sci-fi. If the WSPR stations were archiving the raw I/Q data at the SDR input, I might believe something useful could be recovered from that.

As far as I know, male prostitution was rare globally and primarily used by other men. This was somewhat common in certain eras of Japan, but again, women were not widespread consumers.
I agree, and some days ago, in another thread, I got +10 on my comment detailing this shortcut.

Another no-brainer imho is editing you /etc/inputrc or your $HOME/.inputrc and bind keys (usually PgUp and PgDn) to history-search-backward and history-search-forward.

From there you can navigate your history like with the arrows, but it will only consider lines that starts with the string that is currently on the command line.

I know a lot of people make their money on here from these companies. Heck, I interviewed at one of them twice. But my gut says these two are no longer good companies to work for. If you need the money desperately then do what you need to do, but if you can afford to take a role somewhere else you should. Anywhere else is better than these two right now.

I also recognize that they didn’t start the way they are now. Back when they started they represented the very best of our industry and they lured in young ambitious people with the promise of changing the world for the better. They did do that for a little while. The engineering capabilities were and still are world class, they are beacons our industry for that.

But unfortunately a lot has changed. They are absolutely monopolies now, everything in those slides is true. I know because I worked at a startup that relied on both of those companies for its growth. They abused us in the beginning, threatened us with bans and gave us strikes for arbitrary reasons, and then treated us like gold as we spent a lot more with them. On top of how they treat “partners” they now do far more damage to the fabric of society than they add value to it. Again, I recognize that at some point it wasn’t that way and without them tech wouldn’t be what it is now, but they are no longer that and we should all see it for what it is.

I don’t have a solution on how to fix this. I think it’s the business model that’s acidic and broken. I think only disruption can fix this but it’s unclear when and if that will come.
After experiencing a pandemic, if someone says they are sick, I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt.
>I have definitely left the computer while cruising, forgotten about the flight

If the reporting is credible, that's not what was found:

"the track wasn’t really a track — rather, it was a series of brief clips lasting no more than a few seconds each, indicating that Zaharie had programmed it in advance then skipped along it to various points without actually playing through the entire hours-long flight" [1]

>Also the smoking gun simulator session was in a different aircraft to MH370 and with a significantly different initial route.

It was effectively the same aircraft (777-200LR vs 777-200ER). From the ATSB report:

"It comprised four complete and two partial data captures of various aircraft and simulator parameters at discrete points during the simulation. The aircraft simulated was a 777-200LR

The initial data point shows the simulated aircraft at Kuala Lumpur International airport. No useful location data was available from the second data point.

The next two data points show that the aircraft had flown north up the Straits of Malacca. By the fourth data point the simulated aircraft had reached 40,000ft, was in a 20° left bank, 4° nose down, and had a southwest heading of 255°.

Data points five and six were in the far reaches of the Indian Ocean, 820nm southwest of Australia's, Cape Leeuwin, with the simulated aircraft having exhausted its fuel.

Data point five has the simulated 777 at 37,651ft, at an 11° right bank, and almost due south heading of 178°.

The sixth, and final, data point was incomplete. "It was 2.5nm from the previous data point and the aircraft right bank had reduced to 3°.The aircraft was pitched nose down 5° and was on a heading of 193°. At this time there was also a user input of an altitude of 4,000ft," says the ATSB." [2]

Also from the ATSB report: [3]

"Six weeks before the accident flight the PIC had used his simulator to fly a route, initially similar to part of the route flown by MH370 up the Strait of Malacca, with a left-hand turn and track into the southern Indian Ocean."

"There were enough similarities to the flightpath of MH370 for the ATSB to carefully consider the possible implications for the underwater search area. These considerations included the impact on the search area if the aircraft had been either glided after fuel exhaustion or ditched under power prior to fuel exhaustion with active control of the aircraft from the cockpit."

"Without consent" is misleading and implies that everything is ok if they asked for consent. In reality, students are effectively coerced into giving consent if they want to graduate.

When I went to University a few years ago no alternative was offered for almost all programs we used, even third party. Online submissions and gradebook (hosted canvas), anti-plagiarism (usually turnitin), etc. All these critical or straight up requires services I had to agree to. Maybe if I had made enough of a fuss I could have got an exemption but there was no easy way.

I'd argue in privacy-related legislature like the GDPR students should be treated as incapable of consenting (to services used with their school), similar to how children are incapable of consenting to sex.
It seems worth complaining about abuse regardless of the ability to leave.
terraform 'destroy' isn't infallible. There are certain resources that trigger the creation of other resources (for example, lambda functions will create cloudwatch log groups, and dynamodb tables create cloudwatch alarms) and when terraform destroys the resource, it doesn't necessarily clean up all the associated resources.
This has been discussed a bunch on HN and elsewhere in recent months. I haven't seen any comprehensive analysis of it, but I have a few concerns:

If you create net new demand then fill it with renewables you haven't reduced emissions at all because the coal plants are still running.

In theory, higher demand can make new tech cheaper due to economy of scale but the effect isn't linear; it's probably like an S-curve. Where are renewables on that scale? Are they already large enough that diminishing returns are kicking in? How much crypto energy demand would move renewable costs? Would it need to be 10% of existing usage? Higher? Lower?
That wouldn't happen if you hired a surveyor. They don't go off of fences or grass, they go off of what plat map and the record in the planning office at city hall says about your deed. Banks and lenders might actually require another survey to happen before a home is purchased.
> "third largest market cap"

since when yesterday?

A cryptocurrency that has accumulated a large market cap in a sudden short space of time can only be explained by a potential pump and dump activity. The pump is here so at some point the dump will come afterwards.

This will only end in tears from the late comers NOW jumping late in the tail end of the doge rocket who will soon be holding the bag.

Maybe in a few years time we'll have to say the same thing to Coinbase about safemoon or scamcoin once they get a large enough market cap.
My hypothesis is that Twitter trained their users into having short bursts of attentive focus immediately following by amplifying and expressing their impulsive reaction, through retweets/likes/replies. I doubt the vast majority of Twitter users will leave the current context of series of dopamine hits to consume a long form dense content.

Content creators don’t have a choice but to modify their content to Twitter’s form factor or risk losing their audience.
I've been doing something similar, albeit less organized and, more automated. I have a page in my blog [1] where I showcase all my TILs, which are mostly interesting links I encounter. This page is updated through a Discord Bot [2]. The bot updates a JSON and using the JSON, I use a Jinja template to reconstruct the TIL.md file. I want to figure out better ways to display this information, both for my own purposes and for sharing with others. And I also want to automatically archive links I record this way. I am considering using Firefox Bookmarks to manage them so that I don't need the bot, just a cron job that updates the page using bookmarks. And I can reorganize at will using the bookmarks. I'm mostly concerned about the privacy problem, and I've never been such a great user of bookmarks in any browser.

Oddly I wonder where I came across the idea of a TIL page. @pradyunsg had a status up, but I wonder if he was linking to OP's database. Either way, this is something I enjoy so much that I also maintain my interview and tech learning notes publicly. [3]

The "branchful" version is not only slower for the processor, it's also slower for a human - this one, at least, would never write code like that; the verboseness and repetition just screams "you're doing it wrong". When I see such duplication, it slows me down because I have to inspect each case to determine that there's not one that's subtly different. I would at least use a loop.

Also, shifting right by n and picking off the least significant bit (&1) may save an instruction or two, depending on the processor.

Finally, an array of bools is itself intrinsically wasteful[1], as the processor can easily test whether a certain bit is set, or set and clear bits, with a single instruction if you keep them packed them together into bytes. There's another comment here about memory layout and cache usage.

[1] It reminds me of the questions "what's the fastest way to generate/parse <bloated text format>?" in an application where you control both ends and a human almost never needs to see the data.
> One can empathically agree that such injustice, and any injustice, sucks, and still advocate compartmentalizing between institutions of the society writ large.

That depends very heavily on the nature of the injustice, doesn't it? I mean, take Godwin's perspective here: that's literally the logic that gave us the holocaust!

Implicit in your statement is the idea that the "injustice" might "suck", but not so much that it's worth blowing up your employer. Which is to say: you really don't think this injustice sucked very much. Well... some people disagreed. And they were willing to quit over it.

Isn't that an existence proof that your intuition is simply wrong here?

I've made the plunge and become a "John" a few times now, always in other countries where sex work is either legal or tolerated/quasi-legal.

I must say the experience varied a lot. About half were mechanical and just felt like they were trying to get my money. That feels pretty hollow.

But I've also had some really great experiences where I felt like we had a genuine connection. I grant that this is not "real" intimacy in the sense of "they care for you", but it did feel something like chemistry or attraction.

And finally I have not tried this but have read enough anecdotes suggesting that you can get intimacy while paying in good sugar daddy-sugar babe relationships. That won't be cheap though.
