Edit: as has been pointed out, I’ve misrepresented the parent comment. It’s late here, my apologies.

There seem to be a lot of assumptions here that I don’t agree with. So perhaps this comment isn’t for me, in which case feel free to ignore the following.

People seem to add so many values into the mix when it comes to sex work. If these old lonely people paid carers to visit them at home, would that be somehow different? Are these old lonely people somehow exploited because there is sex involved? If they cannot make rational choices because sex is involved then I’d say that is the problem.

Also, where does being able to “have” someone figure into any of this? There is no ‘you must be at least this hot to enter’ scale, people get together for all kinds of reasons. Plus, “have” sounds a lot like possession of someone, which I think we all think is bad? Right?

I think there are a lot of values encoded in the above comment, but I also know it wasn’t intended negatively.
The industrial producers have been doing that for decades. The problem is that the real goal of these groups is to make sex work harder, not safer.

For example, research on the take-down of reputable sex work sites harms workers by removing their opportunities for safe work.

> the financial situation of the vast majority of research participants has deteriorated, as has their ability to access community and screen clients.

Because we, as a society, have decided we want/need a large government. It's not complicated. You don't have to like it, but don't pretend we didn't make a conscious choice as a society.

How is that marketing? When I'm in Mexico things are priced in pesos, but I pay with dollars and crypto.
I suspect that you can go from being Joe to being Bob just by thinking. At least, that's what happened to me - I read David Allen's book Getting Thing Done, and then over a few years of trying to figure out why the GTD system wasn't quite working for me, I slowly re-invented the Zettelkasten system.

(I thought that I was on to something big, and then had quite a shock when I saw it hit the front page of HN)

To clarify: by "thinking" I mean "thoughtful analysis and introspection" - that is, if you're not being productive, or if you're not able to organize your thoughts, actually sit down and think really hard about it until you start getting a better understanding of your problems and ideas to fix them.

My personal observations of those around me seem to indicate a pattern where those who aren't productive haven't done any analysis as to why (although I know many productive people who haven't done any analysis either).
Considering how much money laundering real estate gets used for right now this is the last place I'd like to see crypto get involved. We already have a legion of issues with even legitimate money being stashed in real estate here (in Canada) and down there (the US) to get it out of reach of the Chinese government. I don't think we need to do anything to ease this process at all.

So does this mean they will sell the data of everyone who pays in crypto to the government, so the IRS can check if people paid their crypto taxes?
Yes, I highly recommend that podcast.
Are there any tax benefits from paying with crypto vs the borrower selling crypto for cash and the lender using that cash to buy crypto?

Basis gets set at time of payment, so borrower would still have to pay capital gains on the appreciated value, right?

And the machines they’re going to be running take years to build. And they have to be built custom for each site. Not just for each site, but also each location within the site. Just moving a machine a couple of feet can cause massive delays as they have to effectively rebuild the machine for the new location.

ASML has engineers who go out and spend months or a year or more, just taking various measurements of the location inside the building at the site where the machine will be operating. Then those engineers go back to Eindhoven to oversee the building of that machine from the ground up, and run through proving cycles. Then the whole thing has to be taken apart and shipped and then rebuilt at the site. And then there are months afterwards as the team does further work and testing before they can finally use that machine for production purposes.

The Saturn V rocket was much easier to build and move. Nothing the rocket industry has can compare to the difficulty of building and moving these machines.

Disclaimer: I worked as a consultant at ASML for several months, helping them to rebuild their Unix infrastructure systems that they used to support the engineers who did all that design and build work.
Thanks for sharing! Mmhmm wasn't on our radar, but we had considered applying our tech to "virtual business presentations at a distance". Interesting to see how Mmhmm is approaching the problem of making virtual presentations more engaging.
OTOH, one could argue that reducing the amount of emotional energy spent at work leaves you with more to give to your loved ones/spend as you please. I agree that all you mentioned doesn't actually achieve this though

One can think of all sorts of tail cases where some better technology is worse, but we should be careful not to let the tail cases cloud our overall analysis of a technology.

"I might not be able to escape if my whole town was on fire" is also an argument against virtually all public transportation - but clearly should not be used as a reason to disregard public transportation.
I wonder if the reason "sexually explicit content" isn't allowed is because that generally involves a partner. I believe OF requires ID verification before you can do _anything_ as a creator, so they're trying to curb that by making it essentially a solo website.

It might be a better idea to require all participants in videos to have their OF account linked and tagged in the video.

This article does not address the basic economic premise of the substition effect, by which consumers will search for cheaper goods of equivalent value.

It would strike me that with massive labor shortages, many businesses will look to technology to replace labor. This could be via AI, or other automation systems.

Not an economist.
The point is you have an overarching government, a State, that you cannot escape easily from, and thus using that state to interfere in the lives of its citizens for any reason should be looked at with extreme caution.
I would also view Command Control economies and their prerequisite governments, as a form of Extremism, in that it assumes whomever is in power has the ability to decide Better than the individual him/herself on matters. The realms controlled abound, it does not really matter, the point remains the same.
It is far easier to create your own organization, or move to another, then to leave, say, the North Korea or Cuba. The same applies to past administrations such as the USSR, & West Germany. Command & Control economies & their governments are notoriously harder to leave than western democracies. So I find it amusing that some intellectual elitists do not reconcile the very obvious: most people want to be free, or as free as possible.
>They can't ban everything, since at the extremis you could buy crypto from eBay sellers.

This is against eBay's policies. All items sold through their site must be delivered physically. If you type "bitcoin" in today you'll only get hardware or novelties, not the coins themselves.
Perhaps not, but it's not exactly leaving them alone either:

Interesting! I didn't actually know that. I just remember being in a developing country and like Nokia's had facebook or messenger or something? Skype and Facebook were showing up a lot of places way back. I remember the office I was in ran everything on skype - period. Months with no phone calls really, but you could somehow get on facebook. Symbian / Nokia I'm trying to remember how this worked back then. I'm sure they dropped them, and I may be confusing who was on these crap devices but I vaguely remember thinking damn, facebook and snake are like the advanced apps on phones.

Just FYI, adding right-sibling pointers to a B-tree makes it impossible to implement a COW B-tree. Kinda like COW semantics makes it impossible to have doubly-linked lists.

But if you're not going to COW, then right-sibling pointers are probably a good idea.

I agree that different isn't a virtue in and of itself. However, western authors seem to almost treat the minimization of exposition as sacrosanct and Three Body very much does not. The latter two books in the series would often interrupt a barely established scene to spend many many pages explaining societal changes over the course of decades. For me, it worked. The dispassionate narrator giving me background on the shifting sands of society hooked me. I'm not surprised that this doesn't work for everyone, and I can't say that it would work for me if another author tried to emulate Cixin.
If it were real, it'd be a pretty sweet deal for the criminally minded employee. Cybercrime already uses "division of labor" where profits are shared. For the criminal, paying out 40% would make sense if that meant 2x as many victims with less work.

I suspect what actually happens is that the employee takes all the heat for an empty promise of big money, and the criminals walk away with the entire profit.
Actually it was the historical excuse. But today with 3DS2, etc. the fraud/complains rates are very very small. (I have had zero in years.)

SPACs have been around for a while and plenty of reputable companies have gone that route
Thus you outline who benefits most from a mortgage in crypto -- someone who expects regular payment in fixed crypto in the future. For that person, their full buying power would be a crypto mortgage as they wouldn't lose buying power by hedging with futures against USD.

I have no idea who that person would be.
The feature in question is to enable a debug mode. That is very much the sort of thing that you want to control from your build system. I've already said how you'd do that with a #define, and you could easily hook that up to a CMake cache variable. How are you going to get CMake to control what base class / lambda / non-type template parameter gets used? The simplest option that comes to mind is to maintain two small separate source files in your application (which typedef to the appropriate template instantiation) and switch between them depending on the build parameter. Compared to an argument to the compiler to set a preprocessor definition, that would be a mess.
Right, but perhaps I'm not understanding what the complaint is here.

Is the issue that you want to take a given photo that you believe the CCP or whomever is scanning for, compute a NeuralHash, and then see if that's in the db? Or are you wanting to see if your db is different from other phone's db's? Because I think the later is the one that most people are concerned about.
That's close to the average I've seen for several European banks, insurances and telcos in costs per call: 10 to 12 euros, which is 11.6 to 14 USD

Note that Samsung is frequently considered to be the second best chip fabrication company in the world, behind TSMC. That’s part of why Samsung is the single biggest supplier of technology to Apple.

Canon is the other major vendor of chip lithography equipment, but I don’t know where their EUV processes are, or what the major chip manufacturing companies are in Japan that they would be sourcing for.
> If not one developer in a decade can tell the difference between a source control hosting service and a tool they use, that's not really GitHub's problem. This is the same as my parents not konwing that "facebook" isn't the internet.

Parser Combinators are fun and quick for simple grammars, but for more complex grammars I will always turn to a PEG parser based on an EBNF grammar.

In Python, my go-to library is Tatsu[0], but I guess I should also give a try to ANTLR4[1].

Also, for parser combinators, Elixir have the amazing NimbleParsec[2] library which is amazingly easy to use.

Look, I said it in another post, it is not Apple’s job to act as an arm of law enforcement. The same way it is not either of our jobs to be vigilante sheriffs and police the streets.

We’re talking about a company that makes phones and computers, and sells music and tv shows via the internet. Does that matter at all?

How about this. All car manufacturers must now wirelessly transmit when the driver of the car is speeding immediately. How about that?

Let’s just go all out and embed law enforcement into all private companies.

This is fascism, the merging of corporations and the government.

Yes, Tesla would have to revolutionize their whole approach to be able to do any of the things that Google/Waymo already demonstrated prior to 2011. For Waymo to "surpass" Tesla we'd have to be living in Oppositeland where Tesla actually possess self-driving car technology.
> With all due respect, the fact that anyone is forced into porn to get housing be safe from abusive partners is the indictment of a society.

with all due respect, most people are 'forced' into some sort of labor to get housing or escape abusive partners. It's the way society is built. If it's sex work or not, that's a different story but not by much. Work is work.
I get about 10 every single fucking day, super annoying, and they are spoofing numbers too: I get calls from hotels and restaurants in my address book, yet they are not being called from there, I hear a series of clicks and then someone asks me about my auto insurance... The moment I hear clicks now, I just hang up, if I answer at all. I am ready to simply give up phones entirely. Fucking complete failure by the telecoms, their entire industry is a consumer failure.

But that's my point. Why not just store bytes, they you don't have to worry about packing, it is always packed.

If I understand correctly they are using 8 bytes for 3 codepoints. They could instead use 3 bytes for 3 bytes. This would use significantly less memory and would rarely be less selective. (If that was a concern they could probably consider 4-grams instead of trigrams and still use less memory.)

This also doesn't precude the splitting into the first 2 characters and last 1.
Personally, my needs when editing source code are not unique enough to be worth spending a "few years" fiddling with vim when at least 80% of my needs are covered out of the box with an IDE. Not to mention that I only spend a fraction of my development time actually writing and editing source code.
If you have to do all this fancy footwork to make volatility not matter doesn't that prove that volatility does matter.

If you price asset X in crypto in the market and then buy options on USD to ensure that your sale price will be redeemable for a certain amount in USD in the future if it sells then aren't you really just pricing in USD? And then suffering a loss on your USD options if the asset doesn't end up selling?
What Waymo doesn't talk about is their human remote drivers and chase vehicles. I wonder what their ratio of humans to "autonomous" cars is.

Except that many of the "deny consent" buttons I'm told either don't work or are intentionally made to slow you down. Again, not fair on a government site. Also, they all work by placing a cookie in your browser. If the whole point is that you don't want to be tracked by tracking cookies, then the solution, of "OK, we'll place this cookie to tell us not to track you using cookies" defeats the point. Once the cookies is on your computer, you can't really tell who's using it for what. They can just say it's not a tracking cookie, but still use it as one. The whole scheme is ludicrous.
Ask HN: What do you do for a living?
Inspired by youtube videos asking luxury car owners "What do you do for a living" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPF6UJAP7R4) thought of asking the same to HN readers.

1. I didn’t say old, maybe you misread?

2. I think I’m suggesting some men (the most obsessive and biggest spenders?) would use onlyfans instead of having a relationship. I’m not saying it’s right that a proportion of men become obsessive but it happens right?

3. I’d say a lot of men don’t make rational choices about sex.
I'd say that kind of stop has a very non-trivial chance that someone will rear-end you. Which is "their" fault but you can go out on pretty much any given day and cause an accident that is someone else's technical fault if you want to.

Looking at that video seems pretty clear he's not going to cross. I'd expect at least some eye contact. If it were more ambiguous, as a driver, I'd probably gently slow down do I could stop quickly if circumstances demanded.

This has been Apple's line for quite a while, but over the last ten years I can't believe Mr Cook has not come up with a Plan B, given that the volatility in US-China relations is much more likely to affect iPhones than most other Walmart goods.

I admit it's total speculation, but I think the massive cash reserves are for that: to weather a disruption in production facilities and move production to a more US-friendly location.

Yes, we do indeed disagree. This was a mistake. This was a bad idea. But nobody died, and it hasn't even been deployed yet. We should try to lower the stakes involved in admitting mistakes and correcting bad decisions. If making a mistake is a career death sentence, then people just dig in and become intransigent.
I find it utterly fascinating that Reddit is able to maintain such a huge porn collection with relatively little attention. I wish I knew what percentage of submissions were in NSFW subreddits, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were the majority.

Maybe it's because they're not trying to make money off of it? I don't think they run ads on NSFW subreddits.

I wonder if there's a market for something like how strip clubs operate -- where the artist pays OnlyFans to stream there, and then the artist collects their income some other way (e.g. Patreon, or just direct cash equivalents). That could in theory keep OnlyFans good with their payment processors, while still keeping this revenue stream at least somewhat open.

thus, further strengthening FBs moat as their competitors will have a cap on their growth.
No, there is a shortage, leading to a shortage, leading to a shortage, ...

If it was negative feedback, the "error" (shortage in production) would lead to an error cancelling signal, and therefore an increase in production. Positive feedback has error leading to larger error, shortage leading to more shortage.
So? Spin off everything "risky" into another corporate entity, and charge more. The simple fact that they don't do this tells me they just don't want to.
I reckon real-world adoption is what will kill crypto. Major markets will either ban it or regulate it through its eyeballs (like mandatory registration of wallets to physical people etc). It’s just forcing a reconciliation.

It may remain in use in less, or in-regulated markets, but that will be a secondary thing. Eg what if it is not exchangeable to any major currency?
