> The law was from 1800 and nobody really knew about it (...) The same way a man is expected to wear a suit.

You're correct. My phrasing suggested that this law was enforced, when in fact i meant that the moralistic content of the law were applied, despite most people not even knowing about the law. You seem to suggest dress control is not specifically a gendered thing, however i've been on more than one job where "casual" dressing was permitted for all but that did not include trousers for women, nor did it dispense them from wearing makeup.

> The women I actually know from there are under a TREMENDOUS pressure to adhere to the rules of the Muslim population.

And what would that be? I'm not doubting there's a bunch of social expectations, but i sincerely doubt they're greater in popular districts than anywhere else. For example, when you refer to "the rules of the muslim population", what would that be? Rules made up by a bigger brother who's never read any religious text? A way of life suggested by the imam? I doubt your case, not because i fundamentally disagree that women's lives are being controlled, but because there is a very racist emphasis on "muslims" trying to control women, which is completely disconnected from reality of french society where all women are being controlled.

First, because as i said previously, it's an excuse made up to put sexism from other cultures/classes under the carpet. Second, because most of the accusations of sexism against the muslim community are baseless. As an example of that, there is a weird fascination in france against the muslim veil (while a christian veil never raised any question). However, nowhere in the Quran is written that a woman must wear the veil, and most muslims are aware of that (atheists and christians, less so). Some muslim parents force their daughter to wear a veil, like some christian parents force theirs to wear a cross around the neck. I'm not saying it's a good thing, but its far from the "danger to our civilization" that the far-right makes it appear to be.

I can't say i've never met women who were under social pressure from their neighborhood. And some of them were muslims from popular districts. But i can't say that scheme is typical of muslim-majority popular districts, as i've heard exactly the same stories/complaints from women of different classes and cultures.

I'm not sure where this conversation is going, or why you would want to reconcile me with the higher classes who are the sociopaths destroying our planet and making sure it's uninhabitable for everyone, while the rest of us struggle for basic survival/services...

Browsers have been free for longer than reCAPTCHA has existed, and browsers with audio and JS have been free for longer, too. I don't like JavaScript, and I block reCAPTCHA, but it's ludicrous to pretend that Google hasn't made it as accessible as possible. There are a lot of things wrong with Google, but accessibility is one thing they're reasonably good at, and making up things to trash reCAPTCHA seems dishonest.

Audio reCAPTCHA is super easy. Significantly easier than the visual one.
> Your brain can start functioning normally again in a span of a few months. It doesn’t have to be the same, but it should work just fine.

The two articles linked to at the bottom talk about multiple years, the third link points to a news article that refers to some research that uses one year as a minimum.

This feels more believable than "a few months". My flat mate has ADD and has phases during which he's clearly addicted to alcohol. At one point he stopped drinking completely for over 6 months, but drank a small amount once and things spiralled out of control again.

He does view addiction as a personality trait (in part because he knows that people with ADD develop addictions more often), and that attitue actually seems to help him. These days he abstains from addictive things because he "knows" that he'll get addicted to them once he starts.

I believe in the thesis of this blogpost (that addiction is in fact an emotion regulation problem, and that it can therefore be cured), but the approach my flat mate takes these days works pretty well, at least for the first year.
In addition to that, I wonder if a few are employees at that company, and don't want to dislike their bosses or workplace (and then defend that weird exec instead)

Absolutely - it's also worth saying that there is a sophisticated tracking system to trace the manufacture of cigarettes from where they were created to the point in which they are sold (and all intermediary stops) in order to ensure that the correct tax is levied (despite there being no physical borders). This means that you can scan an individual cigarette box and see where it was manufactured, what tax was paid on it and every point it has travelled through in terms of the distribution chain.

This isn't fully implemented yet, but will be within the next few years.
Okay, thanks for the info!
Bitwarden_rs and keypassxc are what dominate in this space at the moment, with bitwarden_rs being the self hosted option directly where keypass is local but usually combined with file synchronisation software like NextCloud.

I used https://github.com/ForbesLindesay/typescript-json-validator for a service I built recently. It parses TS types and turns them into a validator function - seems to work very well so far.

There’s a conversion of the type to JSON schema under the hood but I don’t have to worry about doing it by hand.
Split Hack
The split hack is an Android operating system hack that splits or divides your phone, tablet, TV, coffee maker (anything that's run Android) into multiples. This means that even though you have 1 cell phone you are really walking around with 2 cell phones. There is a separate wifi, Bluetooth, nfc connection. Literally your device has been split in half. You have no control over the other side of it. Not only that, the side you can't see can control what email messages, text messages and phone calls that you receive.

Because it has its own wifi, Bluetooth and nfc connection they can make you a distributor of the hack. Not only that, they can make you look like the hacker himself. Additionally, any new hacks they create can be installed on the other side and distributed to your friends and family members.

It doesn't matter if you reset your phone because it is installed in such a way that it always comes back. It is virtually undectable, and has been used against myself extensively. We obtained the hack by setting up a VirtualBox machine that ran Android 86. So we tricked them to install it on something that would allow us to grab the code. Do you have an enemies? Is it impossible for you to find a job? Do you keep getting set on bogus job interviews? Yes, this hack is as evil as the day is long. Because of me and some other good people, you can expect it to disappear with an Android update very soon.

The FBI does not pay informats. The FBI is currently split in half right now. The director of the FBI was hired in by Donald Trump and is also in the same Mafia group that Donald controls. That is why I have not been put into protective custody. I'm sure Donald Trump was going to use the split hack on a lot of other good people like myself. We almost got a dictator, but a few good people stopped the monster. I'm living in my car.

Should youtube pay all of its content creators minimum wage?
Very interesting! I find especially such insights very important:

• Erlang semantics say match clauses sequentially

BUT

• Don’t have to if you’re smart!

• Can group patterns and save testing

Note the "Don't have to if you're smart"! I see the lack of this insight frequently in the Prolog world, where implementors tend to argue against important features on the grounds that it "is" too inefficient. Well, the important question would be: How can we make it efficient? Examples of this are a compact string representation (which Erlang has, using raw sequences of bytes that can be reasoned about as if they were lists!) and a convenient interface for attributed variables.

> This is ridiculous. The CRA overreach starting from the 60s is reaching reduction-ad-absurdum levels now.

It’s “ridiculous” that you can be sued by a black employee whose boss calls him “nigger” at work? What a sick hill to die on.

> Do progressives realize this stuff makes things worse for all parties involved?

Worse for who? The companies who want to call their black employees “niggers”? Who else does it make things worse for?

> Why would anyone hire women or URMs unless forced to by the state at gunpoint?

There are laws against gender and race discrimination in hiring. Essentially, the state does force them at gunpoint.

> Race/gender relations are worse than they were in the 50s-60s.

Well, overall amount of money made from real estate appreciation is still exceedingly tiny compared to the overall amount made in wages right? And, ownership of residential real estate is extremely egalitarian - distributed not just more evenly than ownership of financial assets, but even more evenly than wages (for the simple reason that the richer the person is, the smaller fraction of their income they spend on housing, housing is a struggle for the poor but not for the rich).
Someone on HN once made the comparison between obesity and the old attitude people had towards depression. When you were depressed, you "just" had to go out and do things. You "just" had to drive out the negative thoughts with positive ones. etc.

When you're overweight, you "just" have to get into a caloric deficit. "Just" undereat 7700kcal and you've lost 1kg of bodyweight. It's that simple.

Except it's actually hard.

> when he confronted a supervisor for calling him the “N-word” he was forced to work longer hours and push a heavier cart.

?

The supervisor let him know he considers him a lesser human being and then retaliated by working him harder.

Is that not the exact thing that activists from the 50s-60s fought hard against ?

> Why would anyone hire women or URMs in 2021, unless forced to by the state at gunpoint?

Your viewpoint seems to be that the only people who are hiring are not women and not "URM". This is not true anymore, but that you think that it is, shows that we have not reached a point where things are "ad absurdum"
You are not wrong. :)

They're moat likely independent contractors and not subject to wage laws. This makes more sense for a platform that makes you money based directly on a consumer's desire to see your pictures.
> browsers with audio and JS have been free for longer, too.

How is that an excuse? It's like having a café that only lets people wearing t-shirts in. Are you wearing a sweatshirt? "Well i'm sure you can download a t-shirt for free from your cupboard or one of your friends" /s.

It's a fundamental principle of interoperability ("strict about what you offer, lax about what you accept") that an online service should try to serve anyone, whether they have this or that technology or not enabled. In the case of the web, anyone with HTML parsing technology should be able to browse it... minus some stuff that actually doesn't work without additional technology.

> Audio reCAPTCHA is super easy.

I wouldn't know, it never let me through. I have to say, as a sighted person, the only times i've tried audio CAPTCHA were when Google wouldn't let me through using visual CAPTCHA (infinite CAPTCHA loop). Not even once have i been able to pass it.

I guess once you're on Google's no-pass list, whether you fill the CAPTCHA via audio or video doesn't matter, they're just not letting you through? I find it worrying that some people accept to have a private corporation strip-search their guests on the way to the doorbell/mailbox.

It is not going anywhere.

I gave you tangible examples from someone who knows both sides.

You said that you have anecdotal information about Versailles while I have it first hand. Still, you build whole preconceptions based on that.

And the ones from impoverished areas (you have no idea, honestly. I spent a long time over there trying to instill in the minds of these children that they should go ahead with their education - and actually managed to have two of them (of the dozen or so I was in contact with) graduate from X and ParisTech, they were initially saying that "it is not for us").

So since "higher classes who are the sociopaths" we have nothing more to discuss, stay in your hatred world. Good bye.
I do remember parking meters, but then I also remember Walkmans. Could be an issue for solving Captchas I guess.
> if you get similar visualization for similar hashes

True if you did, but I don't think that's the case. Even a single bit difference would send the bishop in a different direction and therefore cause a major difference in the count of squares visited.

I did a quick test to verify this on OP's site. Just incrementing a sample hash by 1 does substantially change the visual.

It's possible two completely different hashes show similar visuals, but I don't think two similar hashes normally do. Hence no reason to re-hash.

I have genuinely looked at OnlyFans for content which is not sex related, since it's a large name and I'm becoming increasingly disenfranchised with youtube.

One issue though is that discoverability is very poor on OnlyFans. I suspect this is what causes "OnlyFans Spam" on places like reddit.

OnlyFans has little incentive to fix that though, as everyone spamming is basically advertising their platform externally. So, lose/lose?

No in France you have to have an official authorization to run a protest.

The issue about vaccine passport is about insane injunctions by officials that could not be implemented in real life. And official injunctions that change day to day and that are announced in tweets or interviews in the press.

And if you want to vaccinate, it is not that easy, for example there are 3 slots available in 3 days in Rennes, a 250,000 people town. To vaccinate my daughter as soon it was possible in June, I had to travel 110km from Rennes to a village (Evron) where there are 8,000 inhabitants...
It's still a valid strategy.

This doesn't sound right. A full analysis would be quite complex and time consuming but the UK seems much higher to me from checking some quick online calculators and comparing it to California let alone a state with lower or no state income tax. And keep in mind that in the UK you also contribute around 12% to National Insurance on top of the existing tax rates (https://www.gov.uk/income-tax-rates).

This is a calculator for take-home pay in the UK - https://listentotaxman.com/. Maybe some US people can share how it compares to the taxes they pay.
Ask HN: How to go from Developer to Entrepreneur?
Hello.

I've been a developer for many years. Recently I've started a project that is becoming very popular and could be a huge success. But I know that will not happen unless I turn it into a business and hire people to help me built it. It's simply not a one-man-job.

How do you go from "this is my own project and I want to write every line of code myself and control every aspect of it" to actually building a team and company around it?

No, can you be more precise? Do you know how OnlyFans works? It’s like reading that majority of seller accounts on eBay make less than $145 a month and then replying that they should be treated like employees - employees of who? eBay?

OnlyFans lets you sell your content online, just like you would on eBay or Etsy - if you want to make more money then…make more content? Or make content that people want to buy? I don’t even understand whose employees you think they should be in this scenario.

I'm failing to see the connection between your comment and the article. What is the overreach here?

We don't know the details because it was discussed behind closed doors, but allegedly "when he confronted a supervisor for calling him the “N-word” he was forced to work longer hours and push a heavier cart." That's clearly workplace abuse, even without the racial tone.
Yes, this comment is just one long series of distribution fallacies.

Take, for example, the cost of university education. In 1990, c. <=10% when to "free" university, this generation, 55% do; paying c. £35k to do so (1x the median salary).

What are we to conclude from this? That the "middle class" is being ripped off? Or that a massive amount of the population has entered the middle/lower-middle class via university that would have otherwise not been there.

This likewise applies to basically all these points. The logic is, "I identify with a 5%er middle class person of the 80s, and I DONT GET WHAT THEY GOT!!" -- despite, now, actually being part of the 55% of the country which has /much/ of "what they had" (-- due to massive wealth increases).
