Yes, and the South American and Eastern Europe sex slave cammers will follow them, like what happened with Chaturbate and CamSoda. OnlyFans didn't have to worry about this because nobody's going to subscribe to an account of three gay Colombianos half-heartedly diddling some poor girl, or an anorexic Russian getting anal for six hours straight. OnlyFans succeeded by not being part of that race to the bottom.
He doesn't identify with the Republican party, but he is a "disaffected democrat" - a group that increasingly has seen the democratic party leave them, rather than them leaving the party.

Joe may be considered right-wing by the "new democrats", who are the most vocal portions of the democratic party (the "woke" folks, even if they aren't the majority of the party currently, but they are becoming the future of the party) - this is despite Joe's views not changing much from where they were a couple decades ago. It's the party that's shifted.

It's like comedian Tim Dillon said, "I woke up one day and was asked if we should still have police and borders, and I said yes we should. Now I'm apparently a nazi." He is a comedian and this is somewhat tongue and cheek but reflects the disaffected nature and cynicism many of these folks now have for the democratic party.
Unless some employees get caught, there's no way for the group to acquire this reputation. Certainly they can't be trusted at their word ("we pay out" - sure you do).
Even better as sabotage - Make a public offer to your competitor, then watch their org implode in a cloud of suspicion
Management ideas always sound incoherent for the reason in the article; there are no standards and it is seen as an art. The article is attempting (May be unsuccessfully to add some structure). Point is conceded about conflating people management vs decision making. They overlap (ie same person might be responsible for both), but are independent disciplines
Yeah. I think for historical accuracy they should go ahead and add some cholera bacteria too. Why stop at removing chlorine?

The Impact of Crypto Currencies on Developing Countries
It took me minutes to setup a Coinbase account to send funds to SciHub. As long as OnlyFans isn’t hosting illegal content and they’re meeting financial regulations (no laundering, robust accounting), I don’t see a blocker. Yes, you’re going to have to meet up with fiat rails somewhere, which is where incumbent crypto exchanges operating legally come in (Coinbase, Gemini, Fidelity Digital Custodial).
Digital pimpin' ain't easy. If it was, everyone would do it.
A friend in the military told me years ago France was the number one hacker of the US gov. It goes both ways.

This may have shifted over time as China, Russia, NK, Iran increase their attacks, but it doesn’t diminish the fact that the EU is also hacking the US without repercussions.
You missed something fundamental there about the difference between the two scenarios that drastically changes the optimal play.

Victims of ransomware are public and will publicize if they don’t get their files back. An individual willingly trying to compromise their employer’s network is not going to publicize not getting paid because it will get him/her arrested.
It is legal because using a disgruntled employee is not unethical in itself. Society does need disgruntled employees as a threat to keep the management from doing even more shitty stuff.
I suspect that their aversion to adult services payments might be based less on moral qualms than on elevated levels of chargebacks with said services.

"Why, honey! I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA why there is a charge for a Swedish Penis Pump on our Credit Card bill. An evil hacker must have gotten ahold of my card. I shall have the charges reversed at once!", etc.
Looks like someone has built a reusable action for retries: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/retry-step
Hmm, took a look (it's called Bytehound now), it has no PKGBUILD nor a `cargo install` crate so I can't install it in systemwide or user PATH, and requires Yarn to download and build JS dependencies (likely hundreds or thousands).

I tried `cargo install --git https://github.com/koute/bytehound.git`, but that results in "error: multiple packages with binaries found: bytehound-cli, bytehound-gather, interrupt, linking, lz4-compress, simulation".

For the time being I'll stick with heaptrack.
This made me laugh out loud.
It's possible in Java.
I think you misunderstand the reporting process. If the threshold is passed, Apple reports the images to NCMEC for review. NCMEC reports it to authorities. So, this would require the failure of three organizations.
Or why not "Hey Vietnam, Pakistan, Russia, etc put these hashes into your database please and thanks." I mean the CCP has allies that are also authoritarian. Why would they have to threaten Apple directly? This is also how you get past the Apple human verification. Just pay those Apple workers to click confirm.
Maybe he inflated his pedigree but he’s not really a thought leader advocating for one thing or another, he hosts a show, gets really smart people to talk for 2 or 3 hours, that’s where his talent lies: gathering an audience for the actual experts

Same with Joe, I tune into the show all the time but it’s never because I want to hear Joe’s take on the subject de jour, but because I learn a lot about the people he brings on

I would be intrigued to hear about the Uyghurs thoughts on the matter, as well as those of Assange.
I would have thought or hoped that companies were doing this themselves in order to test their defenses. If a disgruntled employee is capable of doing this, then clearly your defenses are inadequate.

I've worked with enough disgruntled employees to know that many of them would anything to hurt their company, even if there was no compensation for them. The secret is to hit them at a low point in their day.
These are not limitations of CSV files, that's excel. Not being able to open a csv file starting with the letter I has nothing to do with CSV as a format.

There just aren't that many widely used applications that deal with things like this, but Google sheets seems to be the obvious one.
I have been using LunarVim for the last couple of months. I will have to give Doom and NvChad a look as well.

One thing I appreciate about lunarvim (in its latest iteration) is that it keeps all its settings sequestered from the neovim settings, launchable as 'lvim.' If I want a simpler editing experience with all the bells and whistles, I can still just use 'nvim'

I have seen general advice for creatives, and sometimes applied it, that if you want to have a creative day you should more-or-less roll out of bed into that work. You might have some fresh inspiration to follow and not lose. You have the energy. By sleep your mind has been cleared of distractions.
Curiously similar to "Pix" launched by brazilian central bank about a year ago.
A quick Google search will show you dozens and dozens of countries getting instant payment systems promoted by their own central banks during the last years.

I am excited to see this. I have been involved in both the physical and software side of large construction projects. This is an actual good use of a blockchain.

I really like this engine, it looks promising. It's not the most popular rust engine and for some reason doesn't get as much attention as others but from what i've seen, it has the most advanced 3D support.

The video says there are no docs except the examples directory and the 3 (now 4) blog posts. I don't see it as such a big downside, more tutorials are being made and its main author, mrDIMAS, is very active on discord, answering any questions me and others have.
From my understanding, one of the major reasons that payment processors don't like porn is the regretful customer problem, which makes this sort of content a lot more likely to be disputed/have chargebacks. One of the oft-mentioned downsides to Cryptocurrency is the 'no takebacks' property. Perhaps these two things fit together? Also avoids the problem of payment processors dictating morality.
I understand the analogy, but jaywalking isn't an offence here.

It’s blinded in the cryptographic sense. It’s a specific term. I would go into detail, but <reasons>.

Suffice to say, unless you provide proof, I am reasonably confident there’s no way to verify the hash db doesn’t contain extra hashes other than the CSAM hashes provided by the US government. But I’ve been wrong many times before.
The chance of a match being CSAM is not almost certain, though. Further, Apple only gets a low-resolution version of the image. In any case, presumably such issues have been addressed, as neither the FBI nor NCMEC have raised a stink about it.
Payment processors need to be regulated in a way to prevent this stuff from happening. This is financial censorship for legal activities.
Fentanyl and Heroin are both in the family of opioids, they have the same effect but have different potency. Methylphenidate and Amphetamines are in totally different families of stimulants.
Might be an odd one for a tech blog but this article is what helped me stop doubting myself and start my transition.

https://freethoughtblogs.com/nataliereed/2012/04/17/the-null...

The main point of the article is that for trans people our priors are way way off and if we asked ourselves "what's more likely, that I'm trans or that I'm cis?" instead of "am I really sure I'm trans?" then the answer is painfully obvious and the weird doubts we obsess over are nothing compared to the mountain of evidence in support.
I agree with that yes - if your employer resolves the situation quickly without causing you stress that's fair. However - it's their obligation, above all else, to make sure you're getting paid. If this sort of error occurs repeatedly due to someone unqualified to handle the books then your employer should rectify the situation.

I think it's fair - while that money is tied up in limbo - to essentially cease working. That provides a very clear incentive and attaches a level of importance to the incident that should prompt your employer to correct in the future.

Everyone makes mistakes - we're all human - however recovering denied wages is a very difficult legal fight that often results in failure due to debt shenanigans and the like. As an employee you need to be incredibly defensive about any interruption to your pay stream.

Same. If it helps, the python package ftfy can fix a lot of encoding issues.
you haven't provided any proofs, but I'm sure the best you could do is to give examples of failed flawed implementations.

It's still entirely possible that if done right some of it could work and it's even possible that there already are examples you are just not aware of
Any new work on nuke plants will only deliver many years in the future, and then not competitively with renewables + storage; and incur huge decommissioning cost at end-of-life.

In the meantime, it will steal capital from immediately-effective build-out of renewables. Therefore, every dollar spent on nukes today brings ultimate climate crisis nearer.
Probably the reputational risk to them from being associated with porn is not worth whatever OnlyFans brings in.
> "The end result is that some peon at Apple has to look at the images and mark them as not CSAM. You've cost someone a bit of privacy, but that's it."

This can be abused to spam Apple's manual review process, grinding it down to a halt. You've cost Apple time and money by making them review each such fake report.
And, ironically, that period of financial capitalism was felled by massive growth of govt debt...

This is a really phenomenal explanation; took me from a vague sense of Bézier curves beings some sort of interpolation between points to actual intuition about what's going on.

One thing I think LO should focus more advertising on is the PDF editing capabilities of Draw. It really works very well and I can pretty much get anything I need done without having to resort to Acrobat.

This could be a good way to get a foothold in companies who just want that, who then realize they can use it for other things too.
We built a system like Apple’s to flag CSAM and concluded the tech was dangerous
This kind of shit is why we're bound to end up living under intense surveillance and with little privacy most of our lives, if we keep computerizing and networking everything. It's inevitable, if that's the direction we keep going.
The risk model is different. The cost of setting up an gorgeous tech company office in pre-Covid San Francisco is trivial compared to setting up even poor-quality fab. Not that we (the US) should shy away from doing it - the Silicon Valley is called that because semiconductors are made out of silicon, but SV is also full of Superfund sites (for many reasons, but IC manufacturing isn't a light industrial process, and is ridiculously capital intensive. A few million dollars, and a few months, and that social media company will have an MVP and started proving traction in their chosen niche. (It'll take closer to a decade to actually get somewhere with it eg tiktok, but MVP can be demoed to investors far sooner.) A few years, and closer to a billion dollars, and you might have broken ground on the fab.
Wikipedia seems to suggest a bunch of versions of it were called LOGO, but as its not an acronym I think it probably makes little sense.
Why should there be? It seems absurd to MANDATE anyone participate in the sex trade. There are payment processors who specialize in adult content.
If you have not heard them, you might appreciate the old phrases: If you want something done give it to a busy person. And: The busiest person has time for everything.
Would they rather deal with the CCP shutting off iPhone sales in China? History has shown that the CCP is willing to do that if it comes down to it. (I remind you that at one time, Google was a primary search engine in China.)

i did a bit of reading as well and came across this. you might find it useful or interesting:
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2258A
at the end (h1-4), it details that providers must preserve the information they submit and also take steps to limit access to only people who need it. in this sense then, it’s not illegal for companies to possess csam. it’s not a big leap to then assume that storing csam for the development of detection software is legal (or at least as been throughly cleared with the courts, which is about the same). photodna was developed twelve years ago, and i can’t find anything about microsoft ever being charged with possession or distribution of cp.
We would love feedback on our approach and to learn how you are doing this at your company!
The problem is that Apple cannot actually see the image at its original resolution because of the supposed liability of harboring CSAM, but being able to retrieve the original image would mean being able to know the complete contents of the rest of its data. To me, it sounds like Apple is trying to make a compromise between having as little knowledge of data on the server as possible and remaining in compliance with the law, but that compromise is impractical to execute.

The law states that if you find an image that's believed to be CSAM, you must report it to the authorities. If Apple's model detects CSAM on the device, sending the whole image to the moderation system for false positives carries the risk of breaking the law, because the images are likely going to be known CSAM, since that's what the database is intended to detect, so they'd be accused of storing it knowingly. Perhaps that's why the thumbnail system is needed.

So why wouldn't Apple store the files unencrypted and scan them when they arrive? That would mean Apple would remove themselves from liability by preventing themselves from gaining knowledge of which images are CSAM or not until they're scanned for, but could still send the original copy of the image with a far lower chance of false positives when something is found. That knowledge or the lack of it about the nature of the image is the crucial factor, and once they believe an image is CSAM they cannot ignore it or stop believing it's CSAM later.

That question may hold the answer to why Apple attempted to innovate in how it scans for child abuse material, perhaps to a fault.
Routine definitely helps a ton. I'm currently bouncing between places and I noticed that I excercise a lot more when in one of the places.

The writer's zoom call mentioned in the article also has the benefit of social accountability and a dedicated time slot with a singular goal. Flow.club (launched yesterday on HN) has this aspect to it. For the past two days I've done three sessions on trail and each were productive. I plan to continue a few more sessions before my trail ends.
It's definitely worth keeping a skeptical eye on non-market interventions, but there are a ton of good reasons for it.

For auto - companies do not exist in isolation. They're a huge pillar for other things, especially the local economy.

If you were the CEO of a 'region' that actually owned all of the businesses, this would show up in your balance sheet: it would be perfectly acceptable to lose money in your auto-making 'division' if it meant that the 'education division', 'healthcare division', 'civic division' were made profitable.

Japan also makes a ton of money exporting it's cars so it's valuable.

Finance, telecoms, farming and entertainment all have different reasons for being supported but the impetus in most cases is rational.

If anything we probably need more high end fabs and this whole 'single source with 24/7 operations' is maybe not worth it, we might just have to be paying a little more for our chips.

Somewhat. At a higher level being a stoic, gets you closer to the Buddhist mindset. Buddhism tends to differ in its acknowledgment that the active practice of stoicism (as a discipline) is still a pursuit, and thus still a means to assert control.
In my experience I've not had too many issues because of it (due to good testing) but it definitely requires more effort of me. If they didn't exist I'd be much more productive
lmao this guy wants to bring back literacy tests
A disgruntled employee somewhere is always going to have the capability to cause serious harm. You can isolate the harm into a single set of hands (initially the owners in all likelihood) but as your company grows you need to delegate. Most companies will initially open up their guts to every employee and then slowly restrict access - but someone somewhere always needs to retain access.
So pay out, then anonymously rat out their own inside man to the feds?

> US has enough nuclear munitions to outright defeat 1 equal superpower in a first strike scenario.

While there might be a slight effect of Toyotas being used less intensively because disproportionally higher income people buy them, I doubt it is a material effect. The people that are not going to put pavers in their car because they can afford not to and want to keep it nice are buying Denali Yukons or other more expensive, luxury vehicles.

Toyota did not start expensive, and even now it is not the most expensive ($/mile). They earned that reputation over many years, and while they may have raised prices, the resale market does not show any evidence of the quality slipping.
