My experience of ADHD is that I hyperfocus on work because it's interesting. I'd basically do the same thing without medication, but I wouldn't be able to do my laundry or cook dinner at the end of the day because I'd be exhausted.

ADHD symptoms are a multidimensional spectrum [citation needed], and so-called normal people lie somewhere on that spectrum. Making affordances for folks with ADHD is a win for everyone. For example: write meeting notes and assign action items, use a bug tracker, ask people if the process works for them.

Well Mastercard did update their rules. They did not specifically go and say anything to onlyfans but onlyfans investors/banks looked at the new rules and interpreted them as "well this is now super risky of being shut down at any time" and stopped pumping in more money / loans. Only way to continue from there is to get an actual promise/contract from the processor that no we will not shutdown your stuff on a whim. (or the nuclear option of getting rid of this risky content)

Here are the updated rules https://www.mastercard.com/news/perspectives/2021/protecting...

Basically starting October 15th every new piece of content uploaded to OnlyFans needs to be reviewed and have age verification done for all the people involved.
While this is true, I think it's also fair to say that it's not easy to just become a contractor. It requires just as much growth as climbing the ladder.

Learning how to manage your time, network, insurance, etc. In addition, you're competing for an ever shrinking pool of work which naturally limits the amount of work available and thus competitive participants.

Also, I've worked with customers that have a ton of this "not broke software". The reality is that these systems present major bottlenecks in providing modern experiences around the data they manage. People spend a lot of time working around the limitations of these systems under the guise that its too expensive to replace.
Yeah. I guess I didn't think he'd suffered from so much damage.

Laravel is known to be slower than other frameworks. But it's still in the 50-200ms response time. I just deployed an app to an AWS medium node, and basic pages respond in 31ms. DB intensive pages run in 55ms.

For the most part guests are freely scheduled across threads/cores. Though I do know VMware's ESXi will prefer to place a guest's workloads on threads that do not share the same physical core if free resources allow.

An important difference though is that guests do not have to be aware of most of this scheduling behavior, the exception being NUMA. My guess at this point is we might see something similar to virtual NUMA topologies, but for big-little.

"Onlyfans decides not to go under"
These are all good points, but many of them feel like straw-man arguments for any experienced product manager.

Of course we’re not going to ship a product that’s so bad it’s embarrassing just because a Reid Hoffman aphorism told us to.

Maybe the real problem is the overwhelming amount of feel-good hyperbole in the product management literature. Many of the product management books, blogs, and Tweets I read skip right past the pragmatism and try to frame their advice as earth-shattering contrarian revelations. That’s how we go from reasonable advice like “don’t let perfectionism get in the way of shipping a good enough product” to punchy sound bites like “ship when your product is embarrassingly bad!”
Interesting, but doesn't seem to work for me.
While there may be some, it is worthwhile looking into where that news was coming from. Much of that push was coming from NCOSE, which is pretty much a literal puritanical force. They had success recently with Pornhub, and then moved to OnlyFans.

NCOSE taking credit themselves for pressuring the payment processors: https://endsexualexploitation.org/articles/exploitation-webs...

NCOSE is more or less using the "for the children" approach to try and stomp out all pronogrpahy generally. Their president "has helped draft ordinances to end or curb the impact of sexually oriented businesses such as pornography shops, strip clubs, and related establishments" according to their own website. Members of their board have founded and led pushes to ban and discourage all pornohprahy entirely.

A critique on the Pornhub article / case, describing its reliance on evangelical groups: https://newrepublic.com/article/160488/nick-kristof-holy-war...

No doubt that some positive changes came in the Pornhub case, hence the significant lack of public pushback there. But I think their true goals are being exposed as they try to push further. Pushing on a platform that has become a key income source for many during a global pandemic was probably not the best idea for them in hindsight. It also got them a lot of public attention they probably didn't want, in good part due to a large voice and push over many recent months by sex workers, many of whom got a voice in articles in the media recently instead of only sources similar to NCOSE.
Well I don't know about OP but, no, its not clear to me!

If "the thinking" was not so clearly only interested in rights that happen to align with certain world views and tended to ignore the inconvenient ones, that might be a good argument.

One of the most important human rights is the right to have the right to self-determination, to choose how they are governed and what laws they live under. However when a majority of people in a country have an opinion that is deemed problematic by certain self-proclaimed human rights enthusiasts, it is attacked as "populist" or slandered as being against human rights!

Human rights are wonderful. Human Rights™ has been hijacked and twisted and politicized just like everything else.

Honestly, Argentina has tried almost every style of economic management and failed.

As I said they were investment led growth miracles, but I think that people who dismiss the importance of exports to these countries are extremely misguided. Exploiting excess labour for labour intensive industries e.g. garment manufacture in export markets they gained much needed income to import raw materials needed for heavy industry. By suppressing wages and thus consumption, they made savings available to invest into capital intensive industry which then came to dominate their exports.

Once they had developed sufficiently the investment led growth becomes self-sustaining. If your exports are growing at 20% p.a. as Japan's were in the 60s and 70s, investment in infrastructure becomes justified particularly when the country is underinvested after a war. But the shift to consumption led growth is difficult to achieve, it's why you see debt to GDP climb after the period of initial growth as malinvestment becomes common. Consumption's share of GDP in South Korea is still extremely low, Japan's only began to climb after complete collapse in 1990, China's is the lowest of all at 55%.
> If these new images never make it to the NCMEC database

The remark that an image might not be in the database applies equally to all CSAM pictures, and so is not actually dependent on any technical aspect of the hash at all.

The fact that you can modify an image to the point that it gets a different hash isn't important compared to the (separate) issue of how you keep your database up to date. And detecting old CSAM is in any case not as important as tracking and interdicting production of new images.

The second remark is good, but mainly because it reminds us to demand Apple ensures that additions are scanned for malicious images before being added to the central database. If the operator determines that a certain images collides with some known public image they can notify Apple. Apple in turn modifies the hasher to dissolve the collision, roll out a patch, and can then update the database.
I guess they offer similar subscription services but it seems to me (at least) that they serve completely different niches. For example, if a content creator says "check out my OnlyFans for subscriber-only content" versus "check out my Patreon for subscriber-only content", I would expect that they are selling completely different things.

Another parallel could be comparing HomeDepot and HobbyLobby. Both stores sell you things for DIY stuff, but they target different kinds of DIYers (even if they could sell some of the same items).
Dammit, don’t tell everyone, they will notice it.
I don't understand the platform at all. I understand it's huge in the adult space, but it seems impossible to actually find anything on the platform. There's no discoverability (as far as I can tell). Is the discoverability problem solved by other platforms?
Same, I am sure they went with that way for a reason (or perhaps it's just technically easier to implement?). I also found things like many-to-many relationships were trivial in Django, much more manual in Rails.
A lot of th epromise of crypto to a lot of enthusiasts is freedom - freedom from traditional oversight. This can be both good, like being able to send money to people in countries with awful currencies, or bad, like when you don't have regulations to protect people. So it is kind of disappointing to see Coinbase basically reinvent traditional banking but on the blockchain, because then, what's the point?
With all the PR a major bank that deals with high risk would have stepped in. There is too much volume and processing to turn a blind eye from this deal.

It should be noted that the cams see a lot lower chargebacks than subscriptions because of the shady tactics a lot of subscription adult sites use. Example would be not noticing a "$1 trial" addon being offered that recurs at like $44.95/month.

The rest of the chargebacks can be offset with 3DS/3DS 2 to shift the liability off the merchant (In this case OnlyFans) and onto the issuing bank.

I can answer any questions within reason if someone wanted to know anything more.

> I much prefer my tools not to be "90%-smart", but predictable.

I understand your preference, but please recognize that it is not universal. Some of us much prefer a super-simple tool that fails for some particular cases, while requiring special options to be completely general. Thus you can use the heuristic defaults interactively (where you'll notice the errors easily), and write scripts with the more explicit form.

Tumblr is getting a subscription feature, and as I heard their porn-content came back to old strength after they weed out some years ago. Maybe there is a platform for this over there.
They know their platform. I presume that prior to the announcement they had tried everything they could to continue BAU.

The fact that they're able to now reverse the announcement makes me wonder what changed. Did they find a new banking or payout partner? Existing ones had a change of heart? Feels like there would be more to it than these possibilities.

There sure is an art to finding mutually beneficial arrangements, but there is sometimes also a point where you need to recognize no such arrangement exists. It seems equally likely to me that the manager may have realized right away that there was no (or not enough) flex in the situation and decided that instead of the team member leaving immediately they could perhaps be strung along and provide value to the company for a few more months.

Some of the situations where no real flex exists are:

- promotion wish where there is no place. For example, someone 1 level below the CTO wishing to be promoted to CTO will not be able to get their wish unless the current CTO leaves. If they don't, promotion to the desired rank will not be possible without changing companies.

- salary demands that can't be met from the budget. Most middle managers do not have significant say over how much budget for raises they are allotted for the year. If one persons raise demand is bigger than the total then not all of it can be met.

- As in the GP post, the things the employee wishes to work on do not fit in the wider strategy of the company and/or will not provide value commensurate with the salary received. In this case, depending on how insistent both sides are, sometimes no compromise is possible.

But if I'm an investor, I would be worried that Visa/Mastercard could get pressed by one of the anti-porn groups at any moment, and then poof, there goes my investment. It's better from a risk perspective to go ahead and get OF into compliance by banning adult material before buying into the platform.

The elephant in the room is that sometimes you ask for a 1 and you get a 0.

Maybe it happens one time in a trillion or a quadrillion, actually different computers of the same make and model have bit error rates that vary by factors of a thousand or a million.

Mainstream hardware has never embraced error correction, instead when their computer crashes people attribute it to perversity on the part of Microsoft. Being aggressive with clock rates and frequency is just like Russian Roulette, but with a quick-firing gun that has 10^15 chambers, one of which is loaded.

Laws, and legally created rights, are far too complicated and numerous for mere respect to be enough. This is why corporate lawyers exist, and why trade unions can win things for employees without having to go as far as a strike.

Ignorance of the law must not be an excuse, but it definitely can be the actual cause.

The sticking point in my mind for lending is that risk undoubtedly varies by industry. It's not really very sensible to force banks to lend money to businesses without considering what industry they're in. At that point, how do you differentiate a sensible underwriting decision from unfair discrimination?
Not been to a porn site recently, or any media hosting site really? They all look exactly the same and offer the same features, so presumably they're already using some commodity off-the-shelf hosting platform for video, images, and live streams with sign-up and payment.

The actual barrier is very few performers are popular enough on their own to be able to afford hiring people who can run servers with this software for them, but the few who are often do have "club{NAME}.com" sites for their own exclusive content.
There is a good chance that any given reddit post in the widely viewed subreddits is posted in order to get people to look at the user’s profile or other posts and follow it back to their only fans page.
> Every government program, every preservation of right, requires taxation and resource allocation.

How much does it cost to not arrest and try someone falsely?

There are situations where the injustice is the thing that requires taxes and government.

> You only get to exercise the right to free speech if everyone else knows there are consequences for disrupting it. (Fines, imprisonment, etc)

Consequences don't have to run through the criminal justice system. If some people are assaulted, they are allowed to defend themselves. The damage done to assailants in the process is tax-free.

EDIT: Besides, rights are rights whether they are enforced or not. Slavery is still a violation of rights even when it is legal.

A question to you entrepreneurial types.
Why does an globally established and growing company with a proven business model want to raise a billion dollar investment?

It's money they'll have to pay back with interest and I assume there would be other strings attached (like the high risk implied by the planned move that was now canceled). How is possibly better than organic growth at this point where they are probably close to market saturation (in the sense that further exponential growth is implausible)?
> Human rights should only exist as long as they can't conflict with each other.

That's an empty set then. See trolley problem for why.
This "state" you're referring to that gives us our "freedom" is essentially that "more powerful" other entity you speak of that has come around and subjugated us. We are already living in an society where "warlords" have claimed land and "enslaved" us to give them part of our labor for the "generous" protection and "rights" they have given us. The fact that we have something like voting and relative physical freedom to go wherever and not have to be physically forced to do things (debatable) doesn't change the fact that we are subjugated to something we don't consent to.
This is technically how it has always been, but tech companies try to employ tricks to avoid it, like claiming it's too hard to comply with individual national or state laws. Another exciting prospect for harmful companies is to enshrine the laws they want in place as a treaty that countries can't easily legislate around: That's what the Trans-Pacific Partnership was about. When you see a massive trade treaty, you'll find an insane amount of shadow lobbying investment in everyone getting their preferred laws enforced on other countries, which also often includes prohibitions on countries passing laws that do certain things.

There's a big movement to gain a lot of followers on social media like TikTok and then redirect those followers to their $5/month OnlyFans. There are a lot of people making a living or at least significantly boosting their income from this model, and they don't have to leave the house to do it.
