I feel the influence of the "Christian Taliban" in the ranks of the US government gets underestimated.
Thank you. I’ll be here all week.
I suspect that "accountability" is a problematic frame. Platforms are the accountability mechanism, increasingly so.

As for banks... Everything new is old again. Financial institutions have long been the unofficial regulators, acting more or less in unison with arbitrary decision making power. Tech platforms have just joined the game.

You’d be surprised how dysfunctional recruiting in companies can be. Some have multiple independent departments with different tools, some have no tools whatsoever (aka no ATS), employee turnaround on those teams is nuts etc.
Now that's some humor of our time. Begging to a user-hostile, anti-privacy company for breadcrumbs.

Good bots are not made for proprietary platforms.
Oh please come on, stop with the monopoly rhetoric Only Fans is no where near a monopoly. It just comes across as truly naive to throw that term around in every conversation.
Webcam porn sites seem to be doing quite well. If Twitch would suddenly allow nudity, the chance that they get sidetracked is high - just compare OF and Patreon. They offer basically the same thing, but Patreon is rather strict on porn and OF is known for only porn.
I have lived in San Francisco for 12 years and I find the Republican talking points littered through this thread disappointing. Recently a cousin of mine asked me if I’m going to “flee SF” any time soon. I was somewhat confused by the question, but I guess I shouldn’t be. This entire thread is just sad.
Sad as their dumb TVs were (are) great.
The question is if the ability of the hateful to find communities of like-unminded people allows them to persist, organize, and affect the lives of the objects of their hatred in ways that were less likely than before.

I’m not sure what the answer is, tbh. I certainly doubt something like the Trump presidency would have been -possible, or as likely, before the internet. Organizations from ISIS to “proud boys” certainly profit from the ability to proselytize on YouTube. But, at the same time, the general trend of the arc of history bending towards justice appears to be still alive, to some degree.
> But routine can also kill creativity.

Maybe it _can_, but for many writers (for instance) routine seems to have been key.

How do you schedule for creativity? Curious to give it a try.

> it is somehow better to take your chances with the virus than get the vaccine.

As i understand it that statement is more true when the age (and presence of comorbidities) of the subject goes down.

<10y: why on earth would we vaccinate these people?

>70y: why on earth not?

Many of us are in the middle, and that means things are not that clear cut. I believe everyone should choose for themselves, as herd-immunity is off the table and outbreaks amoung the young do not cause much strain on the health care system.
The governments of Saudi Arabia, Iran, Turkey, and Pakistan are trying to downplay or deny Uyghur persecution. Sometimes they even assist China in detaining Uyghurs. All these governments want to portray themselves are protectors of Muslims.

Being constantly revealed as hypocrites and being less critical than the west has huge backfire potential when everyone from liberal, moderate, conservative, and radical populations gets disillusioned and angry for the same reason.
I can't speak to how effective the ad will end up being. I can say that it wasn't that good. Obviously poking fun at Apple's presentation style and lack of headphone jack, but it was being sarcastic in that way someone who really wants attention might be. Overall too long and not very funny.

On the content side, there was only, it has a headphone jack. There wasn't anything technical like it actually has good technical specs or sound quality, which is why I put up with cords over wireless. A real missed opportunity.
To me, this is a very pretentious take. Nothing about the usage of "the" in the examples is unusual or creepy. Saying "an eye" or "my eye" that winks at "an" or "my" hand results in a different meaning. "The" here means a general expression.
As a side note, the ‘Master/Slave’ notion has been declared verboten by the woke movement.
This is definitely untrue if you mean to imply that you cannot be creative when working to a routine.
At the time we were considering writing some citation manager software and wanted to verify that other people had the same problems with the integration between Zotero and everything else.

I'd caution you to draw conclusions about academics! One reason we did not actually write the software was because we found academics to be high variance in their preferences.

The few people who used powerpoint for thinking would rather write out 20-30 citations by hand before touching Zotero. Someone else had a setup where one click would send articles from Chrome -> Zotero -> bib export -> Emacs org-mode + org-ref + org-roam
There are a quite a few farmers on HN, myself included. How are we being chained? I am quite familiar with the usual talking points you see in movies, but they are intended for a non-farmer audience and don't really mean much to those actually involved in agriculture. More technically, speaking to an actual audience of farmers, what does this mean and how does it play out in practice?
The reason the banks, and through the banks OnlyFans, attack sex is because they are accountable, and don't wish to take risks unless they are very profitable risks.

The real danger of platforms and banks is how happy they are to censor for the government, or simply the loudest, richest mouth, in order to keep the profit flowing. If you want to fix it, you put in legal protections for people to do business, rather than this informal and/or ad hoc regulation through the shifting influence and agendas of arbitrary special interest groups.

> The financial and tech industries’ prudishness is unfortunately increasingly reflected in government policy, typically under the guise of protecting children and other vulnerable communities.

This is the Guardian getting causation extremely wrong.
Not sure why you're downvoted. I've never heard any definition of 'class' that would make sex workers one. It's a profession, not a class.
Cute. I did something similar at a-level with another book for a stats course
Mining data can be surprisingly satisfying way of going back to look at something you liked.
I'd say the overwhelming majority of writers seem to have this routine writing in the morning.
Amazing, I hope this is true.
Less than you think. Having some general ideal about the main asset classes and how finance works is useful but don't feel like you need a CFA or anything. Same goes for game theory, helpful especially on the protocol design side of things but don't feel like you need to be an expert to get started.

More useful coming from webdev would be good solidity [1] skills. There is a real shortage currently. Most general engineering practice carries over. Threat modelling is useful and more generally having a good understand about security. You should know about unit tests, code coverage and how they fit into building robust code.

In term of tools and frameworks. Hardhat [2] in my experience is a little nicer to use than truffle [3] but both help loads. Knowing how to use the Openzeppelin [4] contracts would be very handy. Waffle [5] for testing is helpful. Understanding about ERC-20 [6], ERC-721 [7] and ERC-1155 [8].

Cryptozombies [9] is a decent tutorial to get you started. Rust is also useful to know for Polkadot [10] (for ink! [11]) and other chains. The DeFi developer [12] roadmap seems decent for more resources.

I'm pretty sure they mean the payment provider are the monopolistic service.
Thank you! But i think having the option for them not to equal and do single entry bookkeeping is key. All the tools validate that the journals balance so it really takes effort for them not to balance. However ive been playing around with having accounts for things like ‘bank statements’ that are one sided and not shown as part of the GL. This allows for bank feeds to be built into the system and can reconcile against actual GL transactions.

I guess my strategy is delegating the enforcement of balancing journals onto higher levels of the system. The databases job is just to format the transactions nicely, building tools and scripts that can audit the GL and highlight bad transactions will definitely need to exist. Conceptually i think accounting systems need a CI system that runs after you push a transaction through to ensure that your journals are correct
Thanks, that setting helps a lot!

>Our ideal food is...

This is probably why you're getting downvotes; it's the idealism and certainty with which you determine a human's ideal diet.

We cannot say with certainty what the ideal human diet is. And what's ideal for one group isn't ideal for another. For example: most Northern Europeans are adapted to digest fresh milk while East Asians are not.

I can't say with certainty what the best human diet is. But I can say it is highly probable that the ideal human diet includes some meat, and it's highly probable that humans cannot thrive on a plants-only diet. This is evidenced by no plants-only diet peoples in existence today, other than vegans, which are a young group, untested by time. And time is the greatest filter.

The longer something has been around, the higher the probability it is a good thing, and the higher the probability it will continue to stick around. And plant-only diet peoples haven't been around very long. Contrast that with peoples who eat meat, who have existed for millions of years.
not really sure what this is supposed to tell me
Perhaps it’s different at the border but throughout Europe most places ask you to tap the little question mark so they can read and judge what the app states, but without validation.

I understand what the general argument is. I’m saying it’s incongruous with the actual study presented here, which posits that people who are acidic online are also similarly acidic offline in political discourse.

(It seems unintuitive to me, because I have similar experiences to you! But I’m wondering if my resistance personally to the concept is due to bias…)

Honestly if I were OP I would specialize in a certain industry, ie healthcare, manufacturing, apparel, auto, or similar. Then get familiar with the big software systems all these people use. Systems like Epic and ERP systems in general take companies hundreds of millions of dollars to migrate from and to. If their company can automate even a little bit of this, that would be very lucrative.
I read monopoly above as credit card processing, not OnlyFans.
I haven't been able to find any reputable sources about your claim "we can produce it naturally", which sets off my bullshit detector for your entire claim.

You might be more successful if you support what you say with sources.
I know of at least one clearly-garbage behavior, which is the “Taxes & Fees” category (initially hidden). Basically instead of saying something like “$7 DoorDash fee” they say “$5 DoorDash fee” and tucked under “Taxes & Fees” is another $2.

This kind of crap is why companies just aren’t trustworthy without reasonable regulation. They default to “trick the customer” every chance they get.
It affects more than just sex workers. Amren cannot accept Paypal or credit cards due to deplatforming (or even draw attention to this through Youtube or Facebook, as those also banned them), Wikileaks was also financially isolated, and donation websites and payment providers deplatformed Rittenhouse's legal defense fundraising.

Funny the Guardian didn't mention this. Reading their coverage gives the impression deplatforming is limited to moralizing against sex workers.
Ok wow. That’s some amazing effort to find room for not just the exhibit but to make it accessible to the visitors! These two German museums just jumped out of no where into the top ten of my science/engineering museum bucket list.
I find synchronous languages like Esterel, Céu, or Blech both weird and eye opening.

Meh. Everybody was like "private companies can do whatever they like" when parler was censored off the internet. Now why is it a big deal when the same happens to a porn site? Only fans can create their own Visa and Mastercard if they want.
They should have done one that was very complex and would almost work but then be horrible to maintain.

Yeah i mean the command line is a pretty thin layer of protection. Definitely trying to get the GUI built so that stronger validation can exist here. I guess the gRPC interface came first, then command line, then the more rigid tools for actual business use.
As a brazilian I can say that you must keep thinking about those things and someday you'll understand why your arguments are full of prejudice and ignorance.
Will they? Like when the hippies came to power it was all flowers and rainbows. Those in power are rarely the ones who started out as political radicals, at least on the conservative side.
Have you ever been approached by someone in a city saying they need money to get back to their town? Moving even temporarily is a great barrier to entry for a lot.
My understanding is that banks don't really care about sex. At least the one I worked for didn't seem to care. They will take all the money they can get. The more they have, the more they can lend out based on the fractional reserve system. They do care if people are not investing money in their banks and there are investors that don't wish to be associated with adult related organizations.

Perhaps there is a way to shield investors from this association without cutting off adult content businesses?
I don't think discord is looking for buyers though. If they were they would have sold to Microsoft.
These people, especially in porn, live by impulsive spending (buying the subscription, sending tips). The high delay and extremely large sign-up burden [0], combined with the fees, would probably ruin a lot of their income. Remember, they compete with a free offering.

[0] Most people don't own crypto yet, so they'd need to learn about it, create an exchange account, verify it, fill it up and then they can pay. Compare that to two minutes of entering cc information.
A serious question. I use a “Smart TV” without any internet connectivity whatsoever. Never let it connect to my WiFi, neither did I connect Ethernet. This way I am happily enjoying a high quality “dumb TV” that I always wanted.

Are all the complainers in HN really letting their TV connect to Internet (inspire of knowing all the crap TV manufacturers have been pulling all these years?!)
Do you find this more effective than politely saying "no"?
Linux can at least read BFS, and Haiku can read at at least theoretically write ext4 but you may want to check the bugtracker to double-check that, I think the ext4 write support being fully functional is a recent development.
It's a slippery slope situation. The same as how an invasive technology would first be used for the worst imaginable offenses that hardly no one would be opposed to. The critical thinkers would recognize the pattern that it's a foot in the door. Saying the ends justify the means in these cases unwittingly endorses the means used for other ends.

It's like saying "innocent until proven guilty" doesn't apply for serious accusations.
That might be the case, but that doesn't mean the plane was a success. That means the reorganization of the industry was a success.
The platform and banks also do not allow the following list items which are varying degrees of legal. There are categories that they crack down upon which are entirely legal and that doesn't sit well with me.

Seams stale. The paper is a joy to read though...

This paper really opened my eyes for what's possible.
Well not really because you up the count for the garage band you're listening to. Quick calculation shows this model gives more influence on the repartirion of money to those who listen to the most music, even though they pay the same (as compared to YouTube's that gives the same budget to everyone)
It's odd to me that people, such as the author of the Guardian article, so casually find the origin of the censorship in 'surveillance capitalism' or corporations, even as they also hold that corporations are singularly motivated by money.

The existence of Operation Choke Point makes pretty clear that in fact a self-appointed group of questing govt officials are the ones motivated to impose censorship. The existence of monopoly financial platforms give them the means.
Thank you! Yeah the name plays well and i like that about it but it was totally by accident.

No word on power density, where nuclear is probably best. As an example, fuel from biomass looks like a perfect solution, except it would require another planet to provide for our current consumption.

Yes, exactly. Expect to spent at least 10 years as a first officer before getting a shot at Captain. I’d wager that Covid has pushed that out to 15 years. I have family and friends who are pilots, and the landscape is brutal with yearly pay rises falling far short of inflation in a lot of cases, and bonuses being minimal or non existent for the last few years

I had no idea how female physiology plays such a big role in car crash injuries. I think it's critical to improve the variety of test dummies to study the effects of all kinds of physiological differences and conditions, not only sex. I can imagine osteoporosis, obesity, and muscular strength having a big effect on what actually happens in a crash. I think it is necessary to also test how small mishaps and adjustments in the use of the seatbelt affect the risk of seatbelt-related injury. If it is trivially easy to have the belt miss your shoulder or pass over your throat, it is about time for a complete redesign. Seatbelts must protect everyone without risk.

However, I think the article turns dubious halfway through. Bigger trucks colliding with small passenger cars or pedestrians is a completely different issue. The transportation industry isn't sexist and racist for needing big trucks to move cargo!
Yeah it's kind of funny that there was a "controversy" in the very FIRST YC batch, when Reddit switched from Lisp to Python (~15 years ago!)

And there was data that showed that like 90%+ of YC startups use either Ruby (often Rails) and Python, including all the most valuable ones like AirBNB, Stripe, Doordash, etc.

So basically it's been 15 years since Ruby and Python have been acceptable (or even better) Lisps, according to PG's own metrics.

Ruby and Python both have garbage collection, REPLs, and enough reflection/metaprogramming to "compress" your code.
The App Store is too big to change
The thought that there can be enough jobs that pay “well enough” is a myth. There are only so many jobs that can provide the wages needed for rent in a given city, and there are always more people that want it than have it. Of course there is no single root cause but if I had to point one out I would finger the stagnation of real wages.

I have to ask. Who is going to hold banks responsible for their role as just a payment gateway and not the actual people involved or the service?
This is like saying banks are responsible for a drug mafia using a laundromat for "money washing" by using sales proceeds of a laundromat depositing into the said bank and sending it away.
Overall, perhaps, but on the local level it's causing a lot of problems.

The region I grew up in, in eastern Ontario, is an area with fairly thin soil. Fortunately, summer rains were generally frequent and mild- light rain all day a few days per week, and sunny and warm otherwise. This balanced out the thin soil, and made it work well for certain crops, corn especially.

The last 15 years have seen a huge shift to dry weather interspersed with dramatically heavy rain. Heavy rain sounds good, but it's too fast- the water doesn't seep deeply into the soil, doesn't let the crops really get a good drink. It runs off, often taking nutrients with it straight into rivers.

My parents are saying their farmer friends, staunch conservatives who used to believe climate change was a political stance, are suddenly getting more and more worried.
They’re incredibly time efficient, until everyone else tries to do the same thing. This is why commutes in places like Atlanta and Los Angeles are notoriously bad.

Also, cars are literally the least space efficient means of transit ever devised. Depending on cars for transit means everyone has to live further apart in order to make roads and parking big enough to accommodate all the cars[0], making commutes worse.

Cars are also time inefficient over longer distances, trains (if we bothered to make them) and airplanes trivially beat cars.

0 - Underground parking solves the storage issue at a ludicrous cost. In many modern buildings the cost of the underground parking structure is often more than the cost of the apartment building above it.
