What change in behavior? "v7-style" fork is still used in modern POSIX, and most definitely in HPC/industrial/academic software. If you have no use for threads sharing memory, that is.

If any libc is translating fork() calls into pseudo-equivalents of "vfork" then that libc is just not-POSIX.
This would be the perfect spark for such a shift.

> Your "highly doubt" is baseless. Black box attacks (where you create adversarial examples only using some inputs and outputs, but not the model) on machine learning models are not new. They have been demonstrated countless times [1]. You don't need to know the network at all.

This is not a machine learning model as such, though, and is used differently than they are.

Can they?
I recently fired an employee who was working 3 full time 40/hr week engineering jobs concurrently, each paying $130k+, full benefits, etc (obviously breach of contract).

Especially in a small company, sometimes it’s best to cut your losses quickly and toss the rotten apple over the cliff rather than go out of your way to stomp on it and deal with rotten apple stuck on the bottom of your shoe.

I think it is right, as a result of winning the Nobel Prize, she received significant coverage in multiple published sources. At least, I don't see any current wikipedia sources from before the time she was recognized as a Nobel winner.

From wikipedia[1]:
>People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.

From this definition, it seems you can't 'earn yourself notibility' directly, except as to earn it indirectly by having independent reliable sources publish about you.

> The changes are needed because of mounting pressure from banking partners and payment providers, according to the company.

Fintech's finest financially suffocating OnlyFans, forcing them to ban explicit videos off of their platform.

Somebody has got to lose.
Well, it's pretty simple, actually. Central banking is a monopoly, you don't need to be the best option if you're the only one.
Curiously, all central banks start launching efficient payment systems as soon as crypto shows up.

Not really affirming any conspiracy here since I'm very uneducated at the subject, I just thinks it's suspiciously interesting to a point I can't ignore, almost as if all those central banks were coordinating as part of a larger goal.
Disagree. Executive function deficiencies have been proven to be an essential symptom of ADHD. ADHD is the most treatable mental disorder out there, even if medication is only option being considered [1]. If you have had long-term problems with executive functioning and you feel like you've tried everything, then you should get medically evaluated for ADHD.

No, it was primarily about various forms of nonconsensual and underage content.
It really doesn't sit right with me that payment processors can emit such a huge pressure that OnlyFans is willing to loose 99.9% of their userbase becuase they just have no other choice.
We will need to restrict access to console backends to comply with console developer contracts. We would only be able to give our code to other people who have been approved to look at the "proprietary console code".

That being said, there isn't a requirement to charge for the code. Kha (another open source project much like wgpu) offers free console support. You just need to reach out to them and request access. I would like to follow their model if I can. But it all really depends on who does the work and the terms they decide to release it under.
Not quite. Those are still ostensibly servers located in China but not directly controlled by the government (edit: apparently the hosting company is owned by Guizhou provincial government). But yes, this is precisely my point. Any slippery slope argument about Apple software on iPhones is equivalent to any conceivable slippery slope argument about Apple software on iPhones. If you're making one of these arguments, you're actually just arguing against Apple having the ability to issue software updates to iPhones (and by all means, make that argument!).
I admin a dozen FOSS repos for my dot-org away from Microsoft-Github; I spun up Sourcegraph but it "phones home" so much that it made me nervous, and I uninstalled it. It seems to assume a high-bandwidth, always-on sort of world, and who-knows-what-else it does because it was certainly a black box.

Overall: not safe for privacy or off-beat FOSS "In My Opinion"
I totally agree, and I’ve seen some completely nuts GH actions setups already where people seem to want to use every single possible action. What happens when the charging model no longer suits you? I’ve done self hosted Jenkins -> TravisCI -> CircleCI -> Self hosted GitLab on one of my projects in the past few years… I want to do as little CI provider specific stuff as possible.
Yes you are correct. A lot of people might think that TUI "requires" some kind of decorations like ncurses offer, had the headline referred to this as a CLI application/program then we could accept it, but this is strictly speaking a TUI.
Remember this next time people start pushing going cashless.

Doing so means that a third party is involved in every transaction you make, and that someone else will always have veto power over your commercial transactions.
Are you thinking along the lines of GitHub co-pilot with this concern, out of interest? Or are there other scenarios where you think people would want their code to be public, but not indexed/crawled?
It's possible the maps were drawn largely into shapes that made sense to people in London based on how they'd choose to govern them if they were permanent fixtures in the empire. Those people may have never even set foot in the region.

Even that article notes that the current borders within Europe itself have changed through war and negotiation over decades and centuries. That another region could have the same difficulties is probably to be expected.

Rick and Morty’s Thanksploitation Deciduous Decision Tree
Of course once kids are allowed to make their own decisions, the main value of FKM is gone. (parental controls and such)

So it isn't the best example, and it isn't really facebook per se but more of a separate product, but still.... it is squarely aimed at kids that aren't old enough to make decisions for themselves, by design.
What is stopping MasterCard and Visa from banning Coinbase and others if this happens
morality is relative.... next stop it is strip clubs, then hooters being banned?

Payment processors provide a utility. They should have the right not to process illegal transactions and illegal activities.
But as long as the activity is legal, it shouldn't be up to them to police morality.

They should be treated like utilities.
If we go down this path, the city's water and electric utilities can decide to shut down the new hooters, because it is obscene and against god (according to conservaties), or it uses women and is an oppressor (according to some liberals).

Utilities shouldn't be involved in morality policing.
It's not so easy. The obvious candidates all ban adult content, and the ones used by the porn industry are either owned by the same or take cuts that make the AppStore look reasonable.
Keep in mind that when you're replicating a business, you're devaluing both businesses - your own and the competitor at the same time.

In particular businesses who are driven by Google Adword spend will compete for the highly contested first page of search results, stealing revenue from each other. This is all pretty good until you get into a bidding war for keywords and/or a price war for the actual merchandise.

Ecommerce is a tough business - yes, it is seasonal, it requires good photography and it is very much hands-on.

I'm not sure if that particular business is ran by a single person (that would be pretty impressive) or if it's actually a team effort and the owner is trying to get rid of it based on the COVID Ecommerce hype-train. Either way, beware of people who tell you that something can simply be "replicated" in a blog post with a few paragraphs worth of content. It's usually either too good to be true, or is just another case of survivorship bias.
"Just the opposite. Need to let people raise prices to encourage slack in the system."

"We don’t want the government to pick winners and losers when it doesn’t need to. "

Markets are not even remotely close to as efficient as you're implying.

In a clinch, people are making all sorts of crazy guesses at what the future will bring, making everything very inefficient. Remember that efficient markets depend on rational acting based on good information. We often don't have very good information at the unit level, and, we often act irrationally.

Some company flush with cash, decides to buy things at crazy high prices thereby denying the 'critical sources' (those that support production) access.

Right now there is a lot of parts hoarding - speculators buying up parts to sell them at higher prices. They're adding no net value to the system and causing all sorts of other problems.

The clearing of those prices may happen over time, but not without terrible damage being done.

Supply chains are not like stock markets with clear prices and instant transactions.

You may not need the government stepping in, but you definitely want non-market actions. For example, chip makers may want to work with their supply chains to ensure a kind of absolutism or preferential customer tranches.

FYI this already happens, all the time. Price is not King for parts, like it is on the stock market. Vendors of 'everything' are aware of the long term growth of their business, and will generally want to work with consistent buyers.

So in this FUBAR panic, supply chains have to think not about one thing, about many.

I believe that root causes was already a fait-accompli at the start of the pandemic when a bunch of parts of the supply chain shut down - we're still paying the price of trying to get things going.
Congrats on launching. Seems the differentiating utility of your product is moreso about being marketed to vs built for young women? I.e. there isn't necessarily any product feature specific to female users but crucial effort is required to build effective channels to reach them.

So, I assume your sales/market building process will be more front loaded with an info campaign, due to many being unaware of how they're underserved/under-rewarded relative to their spending power and also per lower levels of financial literacy and product awareness that you cited below.
I think that's a too simplistic view.

It's kinda true, but ignores how humans really work. Apple will be pushed around to a degree, but there will be limits. The harder the ask now the less China can ask later. And the more Apple can protest about the difficulty and impossibility and other consequences they will face, the more likely China is to back off.

Both sides want to have their cake and eat it too, and will compromise to make it basically work. But if China makes demands so excessive they get Apple to cut ties, China loses. Apple has the money, demand, customer loyalty, and clout to make things real uncomfortable. Apple would have to pay a hefty price, but if any company can do it... it's them.

So I don't think it's fair to say that no matter what China will just demand whatever whims strike it each day and everybody will play ball or gtfo. That just isn't how shit works.
I don't know if this is what OP's referencing. I quickly searched for "farmer" from OP's example critique in that doc and didn't find it.
Please don't pick the most provocative thing in an article and then rush into the HN comments to get angry about it. That leads to generic tangents, which are predictable, tedious, and usually turn nasty.

One way of looking at this is to take the following guideline to apply at the article level as well: "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize." (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html)

The idea on HN is to have curious conversation. For that, a better practice would be to bring in the most interesting bit from an article, or the bit that creates more interesting responses in you. If an article creates no such responses in you, then the way to use HN in the intended spirit is to look at at different article instead.

Edit - btw can you please stop posting flamewar comments in general? We've already had to ask you this several times. You clearly have good things to contribute, and at the same time you're mucking them up with guidelines breakage. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28147928 is a good example - there was good info and interesting conversation there, but then you spoiled it by going into attack. In the end the comment was rightly flagged. If you had posted it in the intended spirit of curiosity and openness, that would have been much better. Please do that going forward.

You know how US Dollars say “This note is legal tender for all debts” on them?

It seems to absurd to allow companies with an oligopoly on most of the transfer of those notes to pick and choose what sectors are appropriate for citizens to interact with financially.
Except they have the reputation of porn, but now they don't have the porn. I wouldn't go sign up for an OnlyFans account in order to follow a SFW creator, simply because the reputation OnlyFans has. However I would join their Discord or Patreon.

Now their in this weird uncanny valley of "adult content" combined with "no adult content". Seems hard to shake that image.
Given that it keeps happening, I'd say yes.

not sure why you're getting downvoted, this is textually what is said
Sounds like MasterCard is in fact fine with merchants selling pornography, but the merchants aren't willing to do so on MasterCard's extremely reasonable terms.
Yes, there in smart contracts there are things called "oracles" which are like 3rd party indicators or sensors that something happened. I don't see how anyone besides the hackers could indicate that.
Even if Apple’s manual review fails, there’s still the NCMEC’s review. There are several layers before anything goes to law enforcement.
Don't pornography companies typically use payment processors that are considered pretty shady? Or, these days I'd imagine most of them accept cryptocurrency.
> How do sites like Pornhub get paid then?

At the moment I'm pretty sure they don't. At least, not via card-based payment systems.
Apple employees will do anything to keep their jobs looking nat kiddie porn.
Ah yes, at that level, you've probably found lots of reasonable linear actuators - rotary motors paired with a screw drive - but I don't recall seeing any low-cost ones either. Maybe eBay is the best bet, but it's hit or miss. It does seem there would be a market for some low-cost options.
You say that now when your entire civilization is limited to a single planet. But I would imagine the novelty wears off after you've explored billions of venus-like planets. For a galaxy spanning civilization, it would be equivalent to destroying an acre of the Sahara.
OnlyFans to prohibit sexually explicit content beginning in October
pornhub is having exactly this issue.

https://bravenewcoin.com/insights/pornhub-crypto-news

You might be right, it's been a while since we set all that up at our shop. We use AirWatch MDM which allows us to distribute our own apps to our managed devices without having to interface with Apple at all. I was under the impression we no longer had to have an enterprise license to do that. Confusing things is we also have apps we create for our customers so we do have an enterprise license and have to go through the App Store submit process for those apps.
I think sometimes people downvote you for stating some fact that they think shouldn't be true. No big deal.
> can still get you into debt if you don't pay back / pay min / pay late

How exactly is your card different? Is there no obligation to make payments? If so, how many cards can I open?
The idea I've heard is that images could be generated that are sexual in nature but that have been altered to match a CSAM hash, making a tricky situation.
Wow, you spend years thinking crypto is convoluted nonsense…and then something comes along that impacts a lot of your friends, and you start to change your mind.

I have a fair number† of friends and acquaintances who have OnlyFans. Some for side income, some for a substantial portion of their livelihood. And to see that get taken away because the payment processors want them to fall in line…I guess I’m on the crypto train now.

†Yes, I have a slightly strange life, I know.
Could you instruct the payment vendor not to pay this charge? I've found that to be quite effective for "free first period" offers that refused to turn off.
Yep. I'm aware of this, and it doesn't affect the point I was making, but it's worth pointing out. I made an edit to the text to make this explicit.
They look like miis, which everybody finds cute.
The way I read the article is that it talks about management performance not performance of the team being managed. These two things are regularly conflated.
It's a huge win for PornHub which already has a robust amateur porn monetation platform. I suspect most explicit OF users already use PH for teasers and free content. Most likely they will move all content to PH and leave OF behind
HN often touts that crypto is either a Ponzi/MLM scheme or has as its only use criminal activity.

If you make basic payment processing for services criminal, then, by definition, cryptocurrency's primary use case is for criminal activity.
I'm not certain that "the program should do roughly what the author expects in the face of arbitrary program incorrectness" is a thing that works in general.

What should your program do if you overflow a 32 bit signed integer? What if you overflow a 64 bit signed integer? Should it do the "expected" thing and wrap according to two's complement? How do you intend to do that efficiently in a portable manner?

This rabbit hole can be chased forever until you are left with every C++ implementation being a full blown interpreter.
Didn't they had the same problem a few months ago or so?
> Even for adults, ad targeting based on gender or age (or race) seems… wrong?

Wrong how?

I don't mind ads target based on my gender (e.g. male suits, not cocktail dresses), age (no teenager sneakers), race (probably not interested in Diwali party).

But practically it doesn't matter anyway. The neural network will learn my gender, age and race based on my previous behavior. It will be encoded in trained data, but not explicitly visible. And because of that modern ads developers don't actually need sex, age and race parameters, it won't make targeting better.
That is interesting, how would the employee trust that the criminal organization would indicate the correct address (that triggers the smart contract) to the hostage company?
Payment processors and financial institutions like to use the (IMO mostly political) cover of "AML regulations" to decline service to sex workers and sex worker-adjacent businesses. Prior to the internet and OnlyFans there was at least a tenuous connection: sex work was a cash business and all cash businesses are at "higher" risk for money laundering. Pizza shops, nail salons, car washes, etc. Of course the pizza shops and nail salons and car washes still get to open bank accounts even though they're subject to higher scrutiny behind the scenes.

But that pretext for excluding sex workers from banking and payment processing really falls apart with OnlyFans. These are small, repeated, digital payments that are highly traceable because they're coming from and going to known people. And the existence of the underlying work product is easily verifiable: are the accounts actively posting content or not?
and 99% of their revenue was from porn so i guess this business-ending decision is close to cryptopayment-parity
Patreon went one step further - if you post content against Patreon's rules anywhere else, even if you don't link to it, if Patreon finds out, they'll ask you to stop doing it, and threaten to suspend your account if you keep doing it.

This is why many people who post fetish-y art (even stuff like mind-control kink) moved from Patreon to SubscribeStar. Even erotic roleplay site F-List moved to SubscribeStar.
Thanks - I wasn't aware of that before submitting this story, and it's a good concern to have.

It led me to https://docs.sourcegraph.com/dev/background-information/tele... and https://docs.sourcegraph.com/admin/pings. Neither of which mention opt-in or opt-out settings.

Upvoting you to raise awareness.
Could be wrong, but I think it's less puritanical, and more that transactions with these types of vendors are overwhelmingly fraudulent and charged-back. It's a big liability for the processors.

it depends on how much you're willing to spend, and in some areas, whether your company is allow to import specific devices which are highly precise.

Many of the most challenging precision and accuracy problems were well understood and documented quite some time ago (books like Moore's Foundations of Mechanical Accuracy). Even today with DIY devices, people are getting impressive results, but often it's hard to say for sure just how accurate something is without expensive calibration tools and custom built environments. For example, if you're working with high precision machining, the temperature of the room matters (since the work will expand or contract) so you will probably need a climate controlled room inside a climate controlled room, etc. Machine needs to be rigid, feedback control, sophisticated optical sensing for position, all makes this very expensive.

I think the folks who make large glass mirrors do well under 0.5 micron accuracy.
I didn’t mean locking features, especially native modules - didn’t write a single one, so personally I won’t miss it. I meant „some repos are more equal then other” mindset. It’s clearer in case of custom operators - they are considered confusing, unless you mean parsing and by parsing you mean elm/json or elm/url, then it’s cool.

By all means, I’m not saying those are crucial features or that they don’t have right to do whatever they want with their language. They can and they do. I just find this kind of atitude and reasoning patronizing.
