Long live the roosters and hens who give us rich hidden egg yolks, the sounds of cow bells attached to cows fed only grass to make Gruyere, and the rumble of combines rolling through town, going out to fetch next winter's warm oats.
One reason often cited for payment processors not wanting adult companies is because of high level of chargebacks, but I don't understand this in the situation at hand here: it is not that this company is going to stop accepting payments, it is that they are going to prevent sexual content and keep nudity, so it shouldn't change much the behavior expected around those chargebacks?
It's definitely not true today in 2010 because auto plants in 2021 cannot be 're-tooled' to make tanks.

Also, US China conflict depends on entirely 'where' and 'over what' and what each nation is holding up it's sleeve.

China does not have $50K rockets that it can use to down 'reasonably stealthy fighters' and as we have seen before, tactics combined with good tech gives overwhelming odds. For example, if (big 'if' but entirely plausible) the US can maintain air superiority in a particular region ... then it will basically maul whatever is before it. As just one example.

China is building 100 subs that are a pretty big threat to any navy ... but we also don't know about advanced US tech that may render them completely moot.

If there is no huge leverage by one side, it happens on land, and over a long time ... the then 'home team' will win.
This is what happens when social media algorithms controlling the entire world, let alone the USA are developed on the belief system of a small neighborhood in Silicon Valley.

Wasn't that a copyright issue? People uploading stuff for which they didn't own the authorship rights?

OnlyFans does not seem to have that problem at any significant scale at all, so why can't they figure out a way to handle payments for porn?

> I came of age before blogs and frankly, don't see any blog posts that could be life changing for an older person, so I'll add a life changing book and song.

E. B. White wrote of the essay and the essayist - and I think it goes a long way towards arguing (unintended perhaps) that a good blog post is a good essay (and vice versa) - at least that was my thoughts when I first read it:

> The essayist is a self-liberated man, sustained by the childish belief that everything he thinks about, everything that happens to him, is of general interest. He is a fellow who thoroughly enjoys his work, just as people who take bird walks enjoy theirs. Each new excursion of the essayist, each new “attempt,” differs from the last and takes him into new country. This delights him. Only a person who
is congenitally self-centered has the effrontery and the stamina to write essays.

> There are as many kinds of essays as there are human attitudes or poses, as many essay flavors as there are Howard Johnson ice creams. The essayist arises in the morning and, if he has work to do, selects his garb from an unusually extensive wardrobe: he can pull on any sort of shirt, be any sort of person, according to his mood or his subject matter—philosopher, scold, jester, raconteur, confidant, pundit, devil’s advocate, enthusiast. (...)

> There is one thing the essayist cannot do, though—he cannot indulge himself in deceit or in
concealment, for he will be found out in no time.
Fair enough. I suppose it's true that you could create a colliding sexually explicit image where age is indeterminate, and the reviewer may not realize it isn't a match.

> Given the ability to produce hash collisions, an adversary can easily generate photos that fail this visual inspection as well.

Apple could easily fix this by also showing a low-res version of the CSAM image that was collided with, but I'll grant that they may not be able to do that legally (and reviewers probably don't want to look at actual CSAM).
> It has always been technically feasible for them to have software on the phone that scans everything on the phone.

No, the OS can limit access to local content. E.g. Mac has https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/control-access-to-f..., and ios has its own permissions system.

It also requires installing third-party software on the device. While if Apple's policy regarding local content changes in the future, there is no way to avoid the OS itself (other than jailbreaking I suppose).

> Apple is trying to avoid scanning in the cloud so that the data can be E2EE

I think it's hard to overestimate how much more visibility events of the last 20 years have on a global scale, and how much smaller the events that become visible are. Even looking from the first half of the 20th century (mostly world war-related conflicts: dam bombings etc) to the end of the second half:
> A report suggests that proposals were made at a meeting
> of fundamentalist groups in Tehran, under the auspices of
> the Iranian Foreign Ministry, to poison water supplies of
> major cities in the West

Even if the second thing happened in 1924, we might never have known about it.

Looking at this list, I think some of the frequency is also exacerbated by the increasing centralization of water supply, especially as more of the world develops. If everybody is a subsistence farmer with a well and the aquifer is running dry there will be conflicts, but those conflicts will be on a much smaller (less historically notable) scale than "Country X is threatening Country Y's water supply".
Apparently, you do. A document published in 2005 can rely only on information available on or before 2005. The latest C++ Standard in 2005 was C++03. Since it was written, C++11, C++14, C++17, and C++20 were released, which the old document can have no information about. Each release substantially changed the C++ language, C++11 and C++20 radically.

Thus, a document from 2005 can only tell you what was modern in 2005, which is necessarily very different from what is modern in 2021.

Maybe it would help you to look up "modern" in the dictionary.

You just gave a movie idea to someone in hollywood reading your comment.
Right. I mentioned that. It's still your own device doing it.

It's like announcing to your family member you're going to tell your neighbor you committed a crime and your family member turns you in first. Yeah, you could expect your neighbor to do the same, but are you really not going to feel any differently about the fact it was your family that turned you in?
Lol, criminals aren’t greedy now? There are countless stories of criminals turning on each other over the division of loot.
> It's happening anyway and it's not like you can siphon the hydrogen off and do anything else with it.

Actually this is another megastructure process known as Star Lifting. And it's not just hydrogen you can siphon off - the sun, by virtue of its immense size, contains the overwhelming majority of every element in the solar system.

Unfortunately because they burn up so quickly, the hydrogen isotopes we would use in fusion reactors are actually incredibly rare in the sun. The sun is estimated to have about the same amount of deuterium as Earth's oceans. On the other hand, Helium-3, another potential fusion fuel, is very abundant - about 10-20 Earth Masses are present. Still though, burning all this helium 3 at the same energy production rate of the Sun would only last us 870,000 years - a drop in the bucket compared to the lifetime of the sun.
You still need a shared goal or shared institutions for multiculturalism. It worked well in the Islamic Empire there.

I wonder if you could use something on the target’s network as an oracle. “This smart contract will pay out when presented with a Kerberos ticket signed by a target.example.com Active Directory server granting Domain Admin privileges.” (This particular formulation has some obvious holes, but you get the idea.)
I guess I have this thing, I had never heard of it before but I have it based on Wikipedia's description, I also have very few memories of my life, which can be disturbing, maybe this is why.

For the record I love novels, inc fantasy fiction and descriptive sci-fi without having a minds eye to bring it into.

e.g. Big fan of starship troopers (the book) which is completely set in an invented universe none of which I have visualized. I saw the film and I can't remember its visual interpretation. (I do remember it being lame compared to the book)

Even without a minds eye I sometimes find some directors visual interpretation jarring.

How do you visualizers get on with the colour of magic? Do you have to see everything?

On the plus side I support two concurrent internal monologues or one that goes double speed & I can go full-duplex.
An interesting parallel: the early days of the Internet assumed universal competence in a way like this piece describes. Postel's law says "Be liberal in what you accept, and conservative in what you send." Relying on competence didn't last long though.

The internet has essentially no regulation. It's firewalls that protect against those who are "liberal" in what they send and voracious in what they accept.

There's some planning, but it's not centralized except in the large-scale walled gardens like mobile service providers and the big cloud providers.
FWIW I went through a similar "education." For roughly 3 months in 1999 I had a combined restricted stock (already granted with an 83b election filed but vesting over time) and incentive stock (fixed strike price, 1 year cliff, .25%/yr thereafter) options in a single stock that in 2003 (4 years later) if the stock was trading at the same price as it was in 1999 ($120) was "worth" $12,000,000.

In 2001 that stock was trading for $0.83/share[1]. And while I didn't have any opportunity to sell it, being an employee and all, what really pissed me off was that I had Sun stock that I could sell that would have been worth $360,000 after taxes (which would have paid off my mortgage). Instead I rode that stock down to about $9000 when Oracle bought them.

Similarly my 401k savings account, that I had put in the max amount every year for decades, had under-performed the S&P500 and even some lousy mutual funds.

So yes, I've had my share of ups and downs, and yes if I had put all of the money I ever had in my brokerage account into an SPX ETF I might have more in it now than I do.

But here is the thing for me, and perhaps spending my teen years in Las Vegas warped my perception of money enough to make this possible, I recognize that the equities market is essentially "random" and various studies have born that understanding out in the large view. As a result it doesn't "feel" to me like I somehow lost money through my own actions, it feels like the bet I made didn't pay off. That is a different approach than getting emotionally invested in the financial outcome of investment decisions. When I came to understand that I was not going to spend all of my time reading financial reports and resumes of senior management like my Dad's ex-swiss banker friend does to get an "edge" I had two choices, go the ETF route or let my financial manager manage some of my assets.

[1] At $0.83 that was about $40,000 in the restricted stock (nobody exercises their incentive stock options that are underwater :-), And yes, I recognize that $40,000 is way better than nothing, and because of my 83b election I have a long term capital gains loss that I can claim for $3,000 a year on my tax return every year and that will continue for the next 75+ years if I were to live that long (I won't).

> They are used to it?

And yet most site designers which require javascript turn out to be thoughtful enough to make a note of it rather than leave a completely empty page.

And public sites which absolutely require javascript to do anything turn out to be quite rare.

So there’s no reason to be used to it. “Some buttons don’t work”, yes I do expect i need to allow some JS. “Nothing shows up at all” is usually a network issue.

Ask anyone working minimum wage jobs to help describe wage theft and they'll give plenty of definitions. I worked at a movie theater as a manager. On slow weekdays I was scheduled from open to close. But the manager above me added a two hour "lunch break" each day to my time card. Maybe a half hour of that was actual free time. They withheld company policy from me regarding what I was entitled as a full time employee (vacation days, etc). People can get creative when stealing from minimum wage employees.

I see now why I have not done this before. I do not understand anything related to taxes in the slightest. The Record of Account Transcript has "N/A" for this year, while the column to the left of it, headed Return Transcript, has 2020 with a star by it, which "Indicates the availability of a Verification of Non-Filing letter for the year." This does not make sense to me, since the instructions on the refund checking page say to not send a second return if they haven't gotten to yours yet.

So I am more in the dark than when I started.

you can build document versioning into a blockchain-backed protocol - I would assume that Digibuild have done this as documents can be both corrected and extended over time. The important factor being that the old version is not erased and thus you can see the history of the document, which could be beneficial.

That sort of information is regularly bought and sold today. A breach that's just names, addresses, and phone numbers will draw a few headlines, some comments on HN, and a bunch of scolding tweets. But I don't imagine most people see that as particularly sensitive information in most circumstances. (Some exceptions of course such as the fact that you're in a particular database is itself sensitive.)

It's entirely possible to alter an image such that its raw form looks different from its scaled form [0]. A government or just well resourced group can take a legitimate CSAM image and modify it such that when scaled for use in the perceptual algorithm(s) it changes to be some politically sensitive image. Upon review it'll look like CSAM so off it goes to reporting agencies.

Because the perceptual hash algorithms are presented as black boxes the image they perceive isn't audited or reviewed. There's zero recognition of this weakness by Apple or NCMEC (and their equivalents). For the system to even begin to be trustworthy all content would need to be reviewed raw and scaled-as-fed-into-the-algorithm.

Why would OnlyFans not simply move to another payment processor then? This all seems a bit strange.
Banks, payment processors are the police officers, or rather soldiers of the world.

They're really just helping the adoption to mainstream crypto.
It depends on how you define the market. I think it's pretty hard to say Google was first to any market with any reasonable definition. They're an example of how you don't have to be first if you are better. Even if you define the early Google market as a "natural language web crawler search engines", they weren't the first.
Reading about incidences such as this has made me think critically about all cloud services in the United States, and the conclusion is simply not to use them.

As a fellow Dutchy I agree with all of this, and to add to it: We pay for water management, it's not free.

Probably unheard of in most other countries, but every building owner in the Netherlands pays what translates to Regional Water Authority tax. That money is used directly to fund the pumps and employees needed to keep the water at the right level. More accurate levels (not needed everywhere) obviously cost more to implement, so the cost varies by region.
Yeah these findings remind me of a passage from the book "Talent Is Overrated". Thesis of the book is that world class talent is mostly due to hard work over innate ability. He supposes that one way that children develop drives in different directions is some identification of ability (even when it is not there really) in some domain leads adults to heap praise on them for that particular talent, causing a virtuous cycle of work and praise.

You can see this in parents who marvel at how great their children are at x, seems to be how kids are pushed. If kids are designed to be pushed to develop their skill sets by the dopamine inducing praise it could be that these drugs work because they tap into that pathway.

I think it's because the circle is intuitive to you, but other likely commonly guessed shapes are probably rectangles and stars.

So like, from there you're faced with "well, OK given any polygon how do I calculate the area", and then "without measuring the area, how can I say that one polygon has a greater area than another"

All of that is pretty tricky IMO. I think if you took your average SWE and asked them to work this out, they'd either google it or futz around in a buffer for a couple hours. To me that means "too hard for your average 15-16 year old", although maybe the US has super lowered my standards.
>And of course it's not a "solved problem" if people actually suffer from it. That's just wilful ignorance.

No, I am not ignorant, I am following my doctor's guidelines and the national nutritional guidelines for vegans/vegetarians. Doctors can actually measure B12 levels and provide supplementation advice, and remeasure to make sure you are at safe levels.

B12 supplementation for a vegetarian/vegan diet is well understood. I would need preponderance of evidence to convince me otherwise.

Just because you cherry-pick articles that point to a conclusion you prefer, does not make it true. That is not how science works. I will let the experts work out the details and form a consensus then let my health care provider and/or dietitian provide me with evidence-based medical advice.
