While it is true that the vaccinated are at essentially no risk of serious illness from SARS-CoV2...it's ALSO true that the UN-vaccinated are at essentially no risk of serious illness from SARS-CoV2. THAT'S THE FUCKING TRUTH!!! It's been that way from day 1....but the dumbasses who believe the skewed number fake-news stats continue to boast their BS sob story to justify an experimental vaccine where the pharmaceutical companies have a LIABILITY WAIVER...so they can collect cash but not ever have risk to the downside.

If this was the kind of hash where flipping one bit of the input completely scrambles the output, the bad guys would just flip one bit of the input to evade it. Obviously a PhotoDna type of hash is going to be be easier to cause a collision with because they're averaging out a ton of the input data. According to Wikipedia the classic way to do it is convert it to monochrome, divide it into a grid, and average the shade of each of the cells. If they're doing that you could probably just pass in that intermediate grid and it would "hash" to the same result as the original picture with no porn present.

The obvious answer, of course, is that you do want to eat meat and run macOS for some reasons, but don't want to for other reasons, so I'm not sure what you really mean. Should we forget the good parts of things with bad aspects and not chase facsimiles, or embrace the bad aspects of things with good parts..? Neither one really makes sense to me; fake meat and fake macOS make sense to me, though I eat meat and use macOS. Or perhaps just that we should find substitutes that don't attempt mimicry.
Israel found that with delta it's the opposite: https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/309762. " Israelis who were vaccinated were 6.72 times more likely to get infected after the shot than after natural infection"
That's the way it ought to be, but unfortunately that's not the way it is considered by many in reality, so it's rational for a candidate to want to avoid that situation.
Reminds me of Carmack and Romero doing their thing with shareware games - true hackers, no fucks given, brilliant engineers, screw the corporate bullshit and get on with the business.

I suspect there are several PR firms active on HN. Some topics were suddenly very popular out of nowhere and criticising it was getting you a wall of downvote. Then it stopped.
> Simple nudity does not count inherently.

That’s not entirely true. If a police officer finds you in possession of a quantity of CP, especially of multiple different children, you’ll at least be brought in for questioning if not arrested/tried/convicted, whether the images were sexualized or not.

> nor would it ever end up in a database

That’s a bold blanket statement coming from someone who correctly argued that NCMEC’s database has issues (as in I know your previous claim is true because I’ve seen false positives for completely innocent images, both legally and morally). That said, with the amount of photos accidentally shared online (or hacked), to say that GP’s scenario can not ever end up in a database seems a bit off the mark. It’s very unlikely as sibling commenter said, but still possible.
Post was pretty weak.

To start, it's not only the US government but also big pharma that have experimented on African(American)s[1][2], including Pfizer[3]. In Africa, Incidents like these have contributed to a distrust against Western medicine and vaccines[4].

Also saying that because the vaccines are being given to everyone they can't disproportionally affect certain demographics doesn't really fly either. Systemic racism is nearly synonymous with things that are on their face applied equally but don't end up being fair in the end. You could for example distribute certain drugs to certain neighborhood (pop up vaccination or other demographically targeted events). Lastly, racial differences in both disease and pharmacological response to drugs aren't uncommon. [5].

>Approximately one-fifth of new drugs approved in the past 6 years demonstrated differences in exposure and/or response across racial/ethnic groups, translating to population-specific prescribing recommendations in a few cases.

Could we get a more useful link here, people?

CSAM? According to Google that's Confocal Scanning Acoustic Microscopy. Or something.

And what with the tweeters? I think my laptop just gave me thighburns from the CPU bloat that clicking on that link caused. Eight seconds to render the page? Why do folks still use this twerker website?
I don't think this rule makes any sense, because it just abstracts all the argument into the word "betray".

The vast majority of iPhone users won't consider it a betrayal that they can't send images of child abuse, any more than they consider it a betrayal that it doesn't come jailbroken.

The victims of child abuse depicted in these images may well have considered it a betrayal by Apple that they allowed their privacy to be so flagrantly violated on their devices up until now.
Is it? Why can't you show the configured audience for a given ad to the user who was matched to the audience?
I've given Factorio a wide berth. It seems risky for me to sit down with this game. The strategic rpg/simulator addict in me really wants to :).
All this feels like it's just matter of time.

The technology is there, now we only need the motivation.
If politicians decides that they want it now, they can simply orchestrate a media campaign and have it. The next time an "outrageous" act of crime is conducted, they can make sure that it stays at the media attention and be portrayed as "If we don't act now very bed things will happen", then slide in their solution.

* Cars can automatically pull over by installing a cheap cut fuel cut switch that can be activated by short range radio. In many places people are used to add devices for toll collection anyway. People are also used to pay for regulatory inspections on their vehicles.

* For the old cars, simply connect an NFC reader that unlocks the central lock system of a car by a master key. For the new cars, simply make manufacturers add a police master key.

* Commercial drones are already stopping their users from flying over forbidden areas, simply extend that to smartphones. Smartphones have enough power and sensors to identify forbidden locations and persons. Add NFC kill switch, meaning the police can send a signal to lock down cameras.

* There were reports of Smart TVs that record all the time, simply mandate it to all manufacturers and enforce automated inspection of the recordings.
This is some hardcore victim blaming.

You say this because you trust the authorities, the media and the scientists.

You are free to trust them. And someone else should have the freedom NOT to trust them.

And that is the whole point.
Why does this surprise anybody?

People nowadays voluntarily carry tracking devices. This will not stop getting worse until that behavior is denormalized.

The power to be gained from abusing it is beyond irresistable. Expecting those in power to not abuse it is like expecting a heroin junkie to be a good pharmacist.

I'd say it's because the unemployment rate among blacks is high, so they don't have to get it for their jobs at the same rate. They are also poorer, so they don't get it to travel, or go do other rich people stuff. It's probably as simple as that.

Also, from what I've seen, anti-vax videos are popular on WorldstarHipHop.com and other black culture venues. They often have very little censorship compared to YouTube.
The "suggested for you" content is typically Facebook trying to cross-sell you to other parts of the app. It's not an actual ad, but it's not entirely organic content either.

One of the product teams at Facebook mistakenly believes you'd be interested in using marketplace or whatever and has enough clout internally to get their stuff added to your feed.
I live in a major city and I’m a fan of none of these things. I’m only one data point, but yours is a sweeping and inaccurate generalization that “cities are frighteningly unsafe”.

We also saw the police query "check-in" databases which were pitched to the public as "for contact-tracing purposes only". Scope creep is inevitable.
Noise pollution may be a reason drone delivery _shouldn't_ happen, but don't confuse that with an actual practical obstacle. In the US, at least, the airspace (including drones) is regulated at a federal level by the FAA, and their mandate doesn't really include residential noise levels. For example, I've never seen noise levels discussed when it comes to private aviation, even though small planes can _definitely_ be loud enough to affect quality of life (they don't even have mufflers...) Drone regulations seem to be following a similar trajectory, with categories and rules based on mass and prop guards, and no formal measurements of perceptual noise at all.

For stationary noise concerns like a highway being built, it's possible for local communities to rally and be heard, but it's entirely possible that drones will be regulated purely on safety grounds with minimal conversation about noise levels.

This is the point where I should end with a call to action, but I'm honestly not sure what the path is to resolving this sort of structural blindness. If anyone with experience working in government or advocacy wants to chime in, I'd be curious to hear.

I agree that midgame is a bit of a slog: the most generic events, plus you're typically dominating the computer players. The for former, the Khan and L-cluster stuff have helped a bit (don't know if that was added before or after you tried it). For the latter, I've found that playing at max difficulty helps.

Basically victims of rape don't want imagery of their rape freely distributed as pornography. They consider that a violation of their rights.

It's interesting how many users in this thread are instinctively siding with the offenders in this, and not the victims. Presumably because they made it through their own childhoods without having imagery of their own abuse shared online.
I find that with games like these I initially get totally sucked in, and then a short while later realise that what I'm doing (designing, optimizing, solving problems within constraints) is effectively identical to my day job and if I'm going to be spending brainpower on it I might as well be getting paid.

MiamiCoin is apparently based on CityCoins [1] and, according to their FAQ, the city of Miami has nothing to do with it:

> Has the city of Miami partnered with CityCoins?
> The city of Miami has not partnered with CityCoins. CityCoins are grassroots initiatives. As communities grow around CityCoins, they can encourage their mayor to claim the reserved city treasury wallet and begin putting its funds to use.
> 30% of the STX that miners forward in order to compete in the earning of MiamiCoin will go directly to the wallet reserved for the city. The city of Miami may decide at any time to claim the wallet’s funds.

>which confirms my point

lol, no. You know that not a single vaccinated vs unvaccinated population study has ever been conducted, right?

VAERS is designed to detect acute, recent reactions and only acute, recent reactions. If it's not an accute, recent reaction, it probably never makes it into VAERS. That notion that long-term effects could even be reasonably detected today without a vaccinated vs. unvaccinated population study is highly questionable. The CDC refuses to do a vaccinated vs unvaccinated comparison study of overall mortality and disease prevalence. Don't believe me? Go on YouTube and you can find videos of Melinda Wharton making excuses to not do it. Sad, laughable excuses.

Also, you mentioned a German specialist: are you only considering vaccine rollouts in high HDI nations? Because DTP is absolutely associated with increase overall mortality in developing nations. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15082643/

There's also evidence that DTP yields higher mortality in girls: https://academic.oup.com/trstmh/article/110/10/570/2548939

Worth noting that DTP was the reason why the 1986 Vaccine Injury Act was lobbied for and passed in the first place. Vaccines were so "safe", that they couldn't be brought to market for a profit because injuries and lawsuits were so frequent. So, the government indemnified the manufacturers, capped the max injury settlement at $250k, made a special court for vaccine injury where all documents are under seal, and had HHS (taxpayers) make all the payouts. Sounds safe to me!
Chinese pressure on swiss university costs student PhD
When I was a teen I felt mentally very off so I asked to go to a psychiatric hospital, and my parents drove me there. I wasn't acting out or anything, just depressed. There, I was put under sedatives and with one other boy we joked how we would escape through the windows. Some nurse heard it and didn't get that we were joking. Under the influence of sedatives I put my hand on her shoulder (which I would normally not do) and tried to assure her that it was just a joke and the windows would've been impossible to escape from anyway as they were barred. Anyway she took it as an attack and few guys appeared and forced me down. They put me into this bed with straps so I couldn't move at all and injected some other sedative all the while threatening that I will never get out of here. They also didn't allow me to make any calls or anything so I was clueless about what is going on and when I will get out. Luckily next day my parents came and I was able to get out. But this was an overall terrifiyng experience for me.
Are they passable on certain networks? I can't pass them when using Tor.
I think it's easy to do #1 by having a dock station with the van actively reaching out to grasp and control the movements of the drone. For #2 I think we've already solved that by just having some sort of cartridge battery with exposed contacts - think something closer to an old flip-phone battery that is forced to slide into place correctly. For #3 if we assume the van is equipped to manipulate drones into properly docking the drone this really isn't a stretch - and inventory retrieval systems have been realistic long enough that they're actually featured in Hackers (1995)[1]. Regarding #4 I guess this might be a problem somehow? - but let's just assume the battery storage bank is on an external wall of the van - if security is an issue we're going to lose like a foot or maybe a foot and a half of the internal space to the retrieval system - again I don't think this is a problem. Lastly onto #5 I could see weight being possibly the most difficult road req to comply with here - batteries are heavy and generators are heavy - that's a lot of weight and ideally these vans would be able to drive on any road out there - including those with old wooden bridges or "seasonal pavement".

I think of your points above - #1 is the most difficult in that step you're still needing to contend with the environment which may involve strong winds - once you dock to the van (assuming you can limit yourself to a single docking station or a small number) everything else seems pretty trivial... That all said I don't program autonomous drones for a living so it'd be ridiculously hard for me - but I assume if we can get drones to reliably do pre-programmed flight paths we can probably tackle this.

Most of the problems I can think of are on the other end where stupid users will do all sorts of non-compliant things with the reception pads - like placing them in impossible to reach areas due to locked doors or too little clearance to actually get a package on the target - also just like... keeping those things in a functional condition.

I certainly don’t hate him and don’t really see how I’m undermining him.

Just providing my opinion on why his reputation is different than someone like George Hotz.
Same here. As much as work, reading, wife, outdoor sports, etc, don't allow me to have a lot of free time for "useless" things like videogames and specifically Factorio, I have a feeling that this one would pull me in and have me spend possibly hundreds of hours per year playing it, which I know I don't want and... well, shouldn't, given my self-appointed priorities in life.

I am particularly interested in strategic videogames, and loved playing these when I was a kid and a young adult (Master of Magic, Master of Orion 2, Civilization, etc).

Factorio seems to be particularly interesting and challenging at the same time.
Why drones? I’ve been seeing small four wheeled robots old traveling around SoCal sidewalks. These small delivery machines don’t need to fly.
The database seems legally murky. First of all, who would want to actually manually verify that there aren't any images in it that shouldn't be? If the public can even request to see it, which I doubt, would you be added to a watch list of potentially dangerous people or destroy your own reputation? Who adds images to it and where do they get those images from?

My point is that we have no way to verify the database wouldn't be abused or mistaken and a lot of that rests on the fact that CSAM is not something people want to have to encounter, ever.
What Is StrictMode in React
I agree. I was just adding that even though the laws made to appease the public were created there are still loopholes that invalidate the claim that “only new properties can be sold to foreign citizens.” It’s untrue and even if it was it still ignores the fact that the property market doesn’t distinguish old from new.

Replaceable doesn't mean one-time-use necessarily - it might just mean that the recharge time is longer than the downtime expected between deliveries so you'd need to swap out a new battery after each run while you recharge the used one. There are a lot of assumptions here but it seems sane.
Will this work differently depending on what country you are in?
For instance, back in 2010 there was that thing about Australia ruling that naked cartoon children count as actual child porn. [1]

It's perfectly legal elsewhere (if a bit weird) to have some Simpsons/whatever mash-up of sexualised images, but if I flew on a plane to the land down under, would I then be flagged?

edit:
If this is scanning stuff on your phone automatically, and you have whatsapp or whatever messenger set to save media automatically, then mass texting an image that is considered 'normal' in the sender country, but 'bad' in the recipients, you could get a lot of people flagged just by sending a message.

> Nevertheless, signing bonuses means workers have negotiating power.

Maybe they mean workers have nonzero negotiating power. But they don't mean that workers have more negotiating power than in the past.

> The robot makers and investors get the income share from the increased productivity of the robot.

If that income share went to the workers who made the robot, it would show up in the labour income share and the overall labour income share would stay high. (But what actually tends to happen is it gets captured by a rentier instead).
I think they want to build a new FreeBSD distribution rather than "a new operating system". Similar to Ubuntu maybe, but imitating MacOs.
