I wonder if you had a million such scenarios would the pedestrian surprisingly step in front of the car at least once? Humans, who never experience a million such cases, would learn that such things just don't happen and would take the one in a million risk of bumping that guy if he decided to be stupid. The machine driver, if we're being charitable, may be trying to minimize even rare accidents accepting the cost of less pleasant passenger conditions.
"So what?" as a response to a post explaining how a policy puts certain people at risk, regardless of what the policy is and who those certain people are, makes how you view those people quite a lot clearer than you may have intended.
The futures on Bitmex go out less than a year, and on CME until Dec 2022.

I very much doubt they'll hedge with futures - I'd assume they just sell the crypto as soon as they have it. They might put on a position in a future for the short period of time between agreeing on a price and getting paid.

And of course the house will be denominated in USD. So, bottom line, not much more than a marketing gimmick.

ETA: And perpetual futures are basically just spot, with financing baked into a funding rate (which is positive or negative depending on demand, but unpredictable ex ante, and as such does not solve your problem).
Yes and no. Credit card companies are fine with the professionally produced stuff, because everyone signs model releases and shows ID. It seems like they are fine with softcore amateur stuff like showing vulva and nipples.

What they don't like is hard-core amateur stuff. Its hard to verify the models there. You see titles like "I brought my tinder date home and rode him/her hard" in a video title and you start to wonder if this person consented to being in a paid film, or if they are of legal age. My guess is onlyfans will ban anything involving two or more people. It will become instagram with tits and parasocial relationships.
I would really love to use some of my crypto that I obtained from mining to pay my mortgage directly. Much less likely to set off alarm bells...
“Powerless” is not how I would refer to the Indian government.
It would not trigger a taxable event? Oh, that would have real world benefits then.

ETA: according to comments further down, selling your crypto is taxable, whether you get dollar for it or a house. Which makes sense, of course.
Easy win. Not needed. There’s enough hate for tech already. Apple scrapped it. I wish they would move on.
It's a fair question, but I think the answer is no: the questions are not the same.

As much as Apple wants access to the Chinese market, it would (presumably) draw a line at some point where it would (presumably) have to choose between that market and the US market, if only because the latter is both its legal domicile and the source of most of its talent.

Version A: CCP wants to exploit the hash database, there are lots of ways to do that, bullying Apple is one, any other way gives Apple a "we are looking into it" excuse. "We must comply with local laws, but we will not change our software bla bla."

Version B: CCP wants to exploit iOS, only way to do it is to bully Apple, this forces Apple's hand and very possibly Apple moves production (not just sales) out of China because they no longer trust they will be offered "plausible deniability."

I'm sure there are lots of reasons for that absurd cash reserve, but my best guess is it's to cover the eventuality of B. above; Apple talking about that publicly would be tricky.

R/watchpeopledie and similar got banned.

All of the porn subreddits that still exist banned domains that serve "unverified" content. The amateur porn scene has been leveled, most of which was legitimate content. Also a lot less user submitted content simply because the hassle of verification and also you have to formally identify yourself at one point. Claims of Reddit hosting illegal content is hugely overblown.
The way to avoid this if you want to really pay in cash is to order the cash from your bank and have an armored car service transport it for you. There is just little point since that's more expensive than a check or ACH transfer.

And yes Civil Asset Forfeiture is pure evil, I agree.
> This is going to be corporate suicide on a greater scale than Tumblr's policy.

Strong disagree. They lined their coffers and now it's time to pivot. In fact, it's probably the perfect time to pivot. They are still relatively unknown, and their reputation hasn't been tarnished. Patreon is ripe for disruption.

Pornography is not how you become a billion-dollar unicorn, which is I'm sure what they're eyeing (especially after their most recent raise).
> I think you should accept some people think of it differently

But why? Because their parents told them so?

Is there some fundamental reason to see this differently? Some cultures accept murder too, should we accept that some people think of it differently? I say fuck those people.

True, but there are services like Purse.io which let you order on Amazon and pay with crypto. So theoretically, you could have your fans pay you in crypto, and you could convert that to whatever goods you want. It might not work as your only income, but could be a valuable way to supplement it.
A server-side action is triggering a local action. The action is still local.
A slight tangent, but the degree of control imposed through financing and insurance mechanisms is staggering.

I'd first recognised this by an aside in James Burkes's Connections, where adoption of the latten-rigged sail was delayed by over 1,000 years in the west by the fact that the financiers and insurers of sailing ship voyages would not permit ships with this "new" (it had been used throughout the Arabian region for centuries) and "unproven" technology.

(It's worth considering that much of modern banking, finance, business, and insurance practices came directly from the shipping world.)

More recently you can look at redlining in mortgage and small commercial insurance markets. Paul Baran, one of the co-inventors of packet-switched networking in the 1960s wrote of this in one of his RAND publications on the ethics of computer-science and information applications in the 1960s.

It could also be because, as suggested in another comment[1], banks are getting regulated in a way that the payment processors simply don't want to deal with.

The problem being that I would not trust any crypto futures market to actually payout if prices crash.
This seems like an unecessarily cynical take. Do you think it's a good thing that people are forced to sell their bodies to survive? Obvious to me that regardless of whether or not onlyfans shuts down, we should have social safety nets so that these people aren't forced to do that.
The people that come up with this shit are evil.......
I think the non-KYC exchanges may use stablecoins as collateral due to the inability to service fiat. But Kraken for instance has BTC-USD perpetual futures [1].

Presumably a large mortgage lender would write their own contracts or collaborate with an exchange for a product using their own mortgage contracts instead of USD on margin as collateral for the loan.

I will just deal with the cancellation issue:

Use privacy.com for this. For every online subscription, you create a new credit card number, which can have preset limits. I like to give it enough money for ONE payment, and then it expires. You can also make it a one-time-use card.

These temp cards are all backed by your "real" card.
There's no fee. You don't get real privacy (i.e. the payments still show up on your bank statement) unless you pay $10/month, but if all you want is the ability to cancel immediately, this is for you. Take back the control.

Some web service makes it difficult for you to cancel? Screw 'em -- just cancel the credit card you gave them.

This is incredible. I feel like platform regulation is one of the only ways to prevent this. Something around not exploiting children for profit could be nice too.
Actually, Google collects MUCH more data (I know that doesn't sound possible) from children under 18.

Open the Family filter and look at what they colect. It is like, everywhere you go, every page you open, every image you look at etc. - Becuase, you know, "think of the kids".

And yes, they may be collecting too much about every one, but this is just another level. And then, for the tiny fraction of kids that opt oout, they have a HUGE data point about them that can be combined with future actions to later build an even more powerful profile.

The thing is, only fans is significantly safer then street prostitution. As in, some people are getting back into serious risk.

The Improbable Rise and Fall of E-Gold
The story of e-gold, how novative it was, and how it collided with the golden age of e-crime and carding truly is fascinating.

BTW could someone of you recommend me the best books about that era of internet crime around 2005-2012 (or larger) ?

I read Poulsen's Kingpin with a rare delight and would love to get more of that.
Does anyone else here feel the Onlyfans phenomenon is just exploiting sad lonely men who’d be better off leaving the house, doing some exercise and trying to eat healthier and build their IRL social networks?

This whole cam-girls making a fortune this way seems somehow more dishonest than normal porn to me, maybe because it’s about these guys (who can never have relationships with these women) building a personal and intimate relationship as one of her “fans”. I almost see this as being like gambling where people need to acknowledge maybe how powerful sex is and being a technology that should be regulated similarly.

I wonder if nobody calls out this exploitation because society keeps suggesting that all men are privileged, which is definitely not true for at least 60% of the male population.

Anyway I’ll probably get downvoted for this but these double standards have been irritating me for a while :-)
I'm sure there is some law for the most ridiculous example you can think of off the cuff, someone will find has been true somewhere. :)

I never saw that back then, that subs would ban you for that, but recently I posted a negative comment to No New Normal. I was instantly banned from almost every popular reddit sub.

A couple of them sent me a think saying they might unban me if I promised never to post there again. It wasn't a supportive comment, I was mocking one of them. How insane is it that the people that admin and mod Reddit are so fragile that they literally ban anyone who talks to people they don't like?

This can't continue. I suppose I appreciate their acceleration.
I am completely fine with people having their own views on this issue and not participating in it if they don't like it, blocking it on their computers or whatever else. The problem is these views being imposed upon the greater population for no reason.
One may embrace and become more dedicated to a note taking practice after realizing how much useful information would've been lost had they not jotted down some notes. It stems from a deeper acknowledgment of the limitations of the mind and the practicality of the pencil.

Taking your question from the reverse perspective, we can say that one does not take notes for at least one of two reasons, either because they think they can afford to forget the information they've already spent time to acquire, or they trust their mind to recall enough of it when they'll need to.
I love Monero, but I think it is more intimidating for no-coiners than bitcoin.

You can’t buy it on Coinbase or many other exchanges, and the wallets are not as polished as the btc wallets I have used.

So if you’re trying to get your fans to pay you in XMR, you would be creating a lot of friction for them.
Hi,

I'm introducing the 2 years of hard work of our team to package classical AI planning into native Python concept.

We will soon follow-up with our ML and GP accelerators of universal heuristics that we build on top of fast-downward and our naive symbolic execution engine.
Yes, I did just let him walk. It didn't cause overly much damage and I was more interested in removing an employee that was not happy working for me and getting back to business than getting bogged down in a civil or criminal case.
Question, what is the open source/decentralized alternative for these? Just cryptocurrency? The unfortunate part of crypto I think for the public is that it's highly volatile and only used by people who want to speculate with it.

It feels like the only way to solve the payment processor issue is to somehow have a change to US laws that no longer criminalize sex work.
> It will become instagram with tits and parasocial relationships.

Instagram is already Instagram with tits and parasocial relationships.
> Public opinion short of law should not be able to add further constraints.

Isn't reputational feedback one of the key enablers of the free market? Unless you want to move to a system that is fully centrally planned and noncompetitive, you'll have reputational differences (read: public opinion) affecting the success of a firm. To the extent that reputation affects a firm's success, the firm will make decisions (including "do we carry this unpopular thing") based on its reputation.

Shall we require all firms to do business with all potential partners, regardless of reputational repercussions, or if the partner has an established history of abuse (say, a contractor who repeatedly under-delivers on contracts)?

Google had a better product, plain simple.

> Starbucks won, when plenty of other national coffee chains existed

Starbucks won partly because it had "Italian coffee". Nobody else had espresso machines in as many locations as they did.

Hmmm. It is not easy for foreigners to buy property in most of Asia (except commonwealth-influenced jurisdictions like HK, Australia) from what I gather. It does not strike me as unreasonable. Prices in London for example are hard to afford for the people who actually live there because so much property has been bought by people who don't live there.

Once you reach a certain size and payment processors are barking at your content, the answer becomes: “start your own payment processor” an amusing side note is today I learned onlyfans didn’t just host people’s porn videos.
Oh I think I have a method for you. Ask yourself the following question at least once a day for 5 days: is it pleasurable in my head right now? Just ask yourself that question, this is the method. It is magic. It will activate your natural abilities to snap in a good mood (like if you were given a good gift for example), to get yourself in the now, understand your dysfunctions, accept all situations and so forth. It will also tell you if you need meds (when your natural abilities dont trigger anymore). Also dont forget that you need chaos, some of the times, so don't whip yourself about it.

is it pleasurable in my head right now? Just ask yourself that question, for 5 days.

edit: please post back here in 5 days to give me your feedback if that's ok to ask

By this logic, separation of church and state doesn't matter to you as long as you can construct some legitimate arguments in favor of theocracy.
Also Onlyfans willfully supported a scammy business model by allowing people to sell content without any preview whatsoever and cash out quickly. What would then happen was that famous women would open an Onlyfans, lie about having nudes on there, tell their fans to unlock the "nudes" for a price, fan unlocks only to discover that the woman was indeed nude but strategically covering all the good stuff. By the time complaints were being lodged the creator had already cashed out. Onlyfans tried to slow down the cashouts but the creators still had a leg to stand on since they technically didn't lie about what they were selling

> An automated driver would be able to analyze the lane change, and the traffic in front of them at the same time. Also the reaction time of the automated system is superior than humans...

And yet here we see that the car either has a very slow reaction time or doesn't understand how pedestrians move around. That's what concerning me. Looking at the video again maybe, maybe the car thought the cart would roll further on the road when making the corner? That would justify the sudden reaction.

It's also the only interaction with a pedestrian in the video and I see no interactions with bikes. I'd say that if they were able to deal with those they would show it.

Yes, one reason being that the crypto exchanges charge so unreasonably much, a bit like the good old foreign exchange offices in airports.
1/ There is definitely potential there. Spatial audio, shared white board, avatar in HD, etc.

2/ The biggest obstacle for now is still comfort. VR is now comfortable enough for 30-min sessions for lots of people, but still not for everyone. For those who complains about Zoom fatigue, VR as of today is just 10X more painful. We need better hardware. There are obviously lots of room to improve.

3/ Horizon Workrooms is not the first and spatial.io already moving towards that direction. After some 30-mins trial, I feel Horizon is more polished and feels better than spatial.io already.
So this is interesting, because yesterday some bloke had a thread on HN around how his FAANG mates are of the subpar IQ sort and he wasn't happy with that arrangement.

So then, which cabal in Google would be responsible for coordinating a multinational hostile takeover attempt, and how many standard deviations are we talking about here? Do they have a department to themselves? "Mergers, Acquisitions & Hostile Takeovers." Has a nice ring to it. I wonder if the lad should apply for a transfer.
The person I responded to implied that the arguments in favor of consent verification were made in bad faith because some people might also oppose porn in general.

It is a logical fallacy. The risk of de-anonymization doesn't go away because their consent wasn't verified- tattoos, birthmarks, backgrounds of images and video, etc are still there.

Not only that, but that same risk still applies to people whose videos were posted without consent. What's worse than being raped and having your video put online? Knowing that everyone you ever work with may have seen it, for the rest of your life.

Also, if you read the article the post attached, it literally opens with a woman who had to impersonate a lawyer to get porn of her taken off of pornhub.

"How I view those people" seems to be your imagination, not mine.
Yeah I've also seen some fundraisers on Instagram. Here in Denver where I live there is one kind of lesbian coffee shop bar place, which seems to do ok.

The gender discrimination at the door thing is interesting. I personally enjoy European bars that are men only (though many for sex purposes) since there are also plenty of other open-to-all spaces.
Many of these episodes are brilliant!
Well among other things: way to utterly and entirely ignore the LGBT creators on there who are making money but also creating erotic content for their communities.

You should be considering both.

There's the seasonality, which is to say, the expected duration of dry spells.

There's the variability, which is to say how much the total quantity varies year-to-year. There might be additional concerns such as bimodal or heavily-skewed averages --- a mix of very dry and very wet years, with few near the "average" arithmetic mean, for example, would change the calculus for how large collection and storage areas need be.

(I suspect that much of California might be subject to such patterns given the El Nino / La Nina ENSO cycle.)
