They are trying to get normalized with mainstream America, not get normalized with the usual crypto fanatics. That means they need to have access to fiat financial systems which in turn means they need to not be associated with anything the old guard generally doesn't like. That includes adult content.

it should NOT be noted. Too many good people died in the wars of past centuries to get us to the freedom and liberty we enjoy today to let any fundamentalists dictate what a normal job is and who works it.

Sex work is work and if you dislike it you'd might enjoy Afghanistan these days.
> based on the simple premise that the human condition continues to evolve

The human condition under government continues to involve, but we as humans are largely the same.

These positive rights, such as entitlement to x provided by y and z, are more like citizens' rights than human rights.

A human right is something that every human is entitled to, regardless of their citizenship, or even not having a citizenship. Human rights don't include tax-funded services that comes with living in a first-world country. They are rights that all humans can and deserve to have, and should be un-infringed upon with regards to.
Hello HN ,

I have worked on this for past few months . exatorrent is BitTorrent Client written in Go. It can be run locally or be hosted in Remote Server with good resources to use that Server as SeedBox. It is Single Completely Statically Linked Binary with Zero External Dependencies .

exatorrent is simple yet feature-rich . It is lightweight and light on resources. It comes with Beautiful Responsive Web Client written in Svelte and Typescript , but thanks to documented WebSocket API of exatorrent , you can also write your own client or integrate with other services if you want to.

exatorrent can operate in Optional Multi-User Mode administrated by admin user/s but it can successfully be used by Single-User as well. Torrented Files are stored in local disk of device where it's run, which are then retrievable or streamable via HTTP.

I hope you like it . It's Open Source .

Also HN , I am looking for Internship . If you're interested , please email me
I still don't follow why that would be, and the link is no help.
I'm still not sure how this compromises VPN use. ISP routes the connection so of course they can see when I use my VPN. From there I would assume the VPN works as a mixer and handles multiple connections through the same exit point, so you couldn't tell my traffic from another users. Is that not the case?

Given that it's apparently OK to launch one of these at a single suspected enemy informant, couldn't we have saved a lot of time, money and lives by just bribing the entire population of Afghanistan to not do things that the West doesn't like?

I struggle to imagine any bank suddenly deciding they're OK with adult content after all. Apart from the moral outrage risks (like the ones OnlyFans itself has been facing wrt the literal kids on their platform), they don't want to accidentally run afoul of sex trafficking laws either. There's just too many risks in adult content. It's really surprising OnlyFans got as far as it did with adult content.

Plus, something like a small company blaming banks is everyday business for those banks. It won't hurt their PR much in the long term, especially since the older, more conservative sections of the public won't care or be more supportive of the banks here. It sucks but that's how the world is.
I agree 100% in principle.

In practice, US foreign policy doesn't recognize international law and never really has.

The US could annex Afghanistan, and apart from the CCP doing a lot of complaining about it (primarily because they want access to Afghanistan's mineral wealth), nothing would happen.

100% agree. I look back to several situations in my own career as a manager where I did have this case arise and went looking around the org for other opportunities that might give my employee what they wanted. Some of those worked out, but many did not. The ones that did not would be indistinguishable to the employee from a manager just "stringing along" the employee to get a few more months out of them. (There are other cases where I was able to be more upfront as there was an obvious mismatch analogous to your CTO's direct report case.)
I don't see it that way. It means many were not qualified to perform duties they were responsible for.
It's not "censorship" it's "programming" also known as "brainwashing" of a population not to care about contrarian viewpoints, rather to view them as "dangerous" and "conspiracy theories" which only "right wing nuts" believe.

Not sure that's quite a fair comparison, because you'll need quite a bit more hardware to use the GTX 1060, and I think that the Turing board + Jetson setup would be all-inclusive (except a power supply and chassis, I suppose)?

Leverage helps of course but I don't think it's unreasonable to expect someone asking for a raise to know whether or not they're asking for a reasonable number. If market rate for a given position is $150-200k TC and you ask for $300k not only are you going to get told no (quickly) but it's going to make you look really bad.

I've gotten 10-15% raises before without a competing offer or any other leverage simply because I could show that I was a certain "percentage of market rate" when I was hired, but the market rate had increased ~teen% since then. So it wasn't as much me asking for raise, it was me asking to have my compensation keep pace with the market/inflation.
Rights conflict even with themselves. This is even true for rights seen as "negative".

Consider property rights. I rent. My landlord has never stepped foot in the house. The state enforces his property rights. But the way it would do that is by violently evicting me from the property and making me homeless.
If you only include domestic use it was even lower, they ended up exporting a lot of nuclear power for less than it cost to produce.

It helps, but for many it was/is not enough. Trust me, the job search was brutal even as a computer science graduate from MIT. I had an offer and it was revoked (and companies that I had offers from pre-pandemic would not engage anymore). I'm almost certain that I have classmates who had OF at one point during the last year and I know for certain from Twitter there's Ivy League, Cal, and Stanford students on there.

Especially at the beginning of the pandemic when nobody knew how long it might last and the stock market was free diving to what was seemingly oblivion.

I guess my point is that in mid 2020, it felt like there were no degrees that had plentiful jobs short of being:

1. A close-to-graduating worker in health or medicine.

2. A finance-compatible major from a Top 15 school with exceptional math, statistics, and inference ability. Likely, previous internships. And there really weren't that many of these.

Jobs at software companies that were typically not competitive were getting flooded by top grads and early career applicants w/ 1-3 years of experience who had offers revoked or got laid off. I fought tooth and nail for the offers I got, and the company I joined ended up being terrible -- so go figure.

Now consider that there are like, 500k students *not from top schools* graduating in STEM that same year. Suddenly the 'study something useful' mantra fell apart in the matter of months (weeks?).

I think you are asking about balancing tests: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balancing_test

Your rights stop when someone else's rights are infringed. But where exactly do you draw the line? This is a complex and time-dependent question with a case-by-case answer. Right now, the human right to live outweighs the human right to not cover your face. In the EU, the right to privacy prevails the right of companies to serve targeted ads -- although the discussion around legitimate interests is ongoing.

You heard something does not make it a good reason to go to war.

Some neighbourhoods of the US are "said to be lovely /s" but does that warrant an invasion?

From what I understand it's a common misconception that wild yeast is just floating there in the air in sufficient quantities to get a starter going. That, if you think about it for a moment, sounds like a complete load of bull. In reality the vast majority of wild yeast that forms a starter comes from the flour. That's what gets the party started, not the mysterious airborne yeast.
Right, so if we can interpret failure of service as interfering with Article 19 and 20, what else applies as interfering with human rights?

Is Article 19 and 20 mostly about non-interference, or is about obligations of service?
Under your own definition, everyone can have:
- housing
- education
- health care

Unless you’re saying that somehow it’s impossible for a society like the UK or US to ensure everyone has access to the above?

Even for your “negative rights”, we today already have conflicts. For instance, a right to trial by a jury of your peers: this clearly conflicts with the jury’s right to work. They can’t work while they’re hearing your trial. As soon as you allow “we’ll just dismiss those for whom jury duty is an undue burden”, you’re acknowledging society is big enough to handle these conflicts without creating an undue burden on anyone.

That's not exactly true. It's not that an undergraduate degree is worthless, but it's become pretty standard. You may not stand above the rest with just a degree, but you certainly fall below the rest without one.

I don't mean this from an intelligence or skill perspective, some of the smartest people I know don't have college degrees. But when the big companies are recruiting from college career fairs or listing it as a job requirement, you can and will be passed over for jobs because you don't have one.

What he is implying is that there were better qualified, more competent individuals for those positions.
> But it's not a war crime to make a mistake.

I suppose that you are from the USA and your family is living there. Imagine that some afghan-controlled drone intended to kill some U.S. soldiers (a legitimate target because they are enemy combatants). But instead they kill your family. If it was a mistake, by the own account of the drone operator, would you still maintain that the killing of your whole family was not a war crime? Would you defend the drone operator in that case? Please notice that at the moment when they were killed, they were just enjoying a picnic in a field, minding their own business, unbeknownst that in another valley a few miles away there was a secret military training camp. I need to hear from you if you honestly think that the murderer of your family would be innocent in that case.
Doesn’t help when you don’t have the foot in the door because your family is not traditionally professional.

I had to ask one of my old graduate project partners for a referral to my current (and first, at 27) tech job and I still feel dirty and guilty that I got it so easily and managed to escape the trap of being extremely qualified while making min wage in a dusty shithole of a warehouse.

“It’s not what you know, it’s who you know” was a phrase of derision growing up, but it’s how the world works now.
Sex work isn't controversial, it's just a magnet for fraud. The first thing someone does with a stolen payment method is usually go and spend it on porn - or if you're advanced, sets up a money laundering scheme to spend it on "porn" and circulate it back to themselves. It's just the nature of the business.
Themselves? No. Other people and communities that they dislike? You bet.

Just look at political memes. What is the chance that both sides will have a few people try to create memes for their opponents which are adversarial. They'll take care to make sure those images aren't on their own apple devices before spreading it to areas where the other side likes to share memes.

Another example are the very people trying to be caught. Someone who is against current laws about the subject might seek to create as many false positives as possible to overwhelm the system. They might even specifically target otherwise legal baby photos to manipulate in this way as it would make it more likely they get past any sort of second tier manual review and result in law enforcement wasting resources.

Lastly, this is nothing new. Planting such material and flooding websites with it has long been a tactic used by some. Up until now it has been limited because doing so requires violating the law yourself and few people hate others enough to go through that level risk to self. But this is mostly risk free because creating adversarial images like this isn't outright illegal and even in cases where there are laws against it violating those laws is extremely different than violating actual laws against CSAM in every way that factors into a person's willingness to break laws.

This argument is getting a lot of are time in this thread. It might be worth considering that if you're arguing words have specific meanings...they no longer do. Databases are technology with decades of historical effort. Any specific terms you come up with will grow fuzzy as new entrants stretch and strain old ideas.
Reader View is excellent on low-spec systems. On TenFourFox you can try any page in Reader View, not just what the browser thinks will work. I also implemented sticky reader view, where going to links stays in reader mode even on different sites until you explicitly leave reader view (see https://tenfourfox.blogspot.com/2020/09/tenfourfox-fpr27b1-a... ) and auto reader view by domain or by domain subpages ( https://tenfourfox.blogspot.com/2021/03/tenfourfox-fpr31b1-a... ). Combined with a right-click to Open in Reader View menu option, this means you can jump right in and spend less time waiting for pages to load on older computers.

Thats not very productive way to think about it. It could be stated as "No entity can prevent people from communicating electronically", and the market would adapt around it. The big tech's market dominance stems from a) exclusive rights to telecommunication bands and b) IP and copyright laws , and those are both granted by the state, i.e. the public. An alternative would be for people to decide to abolish those exclusive rights.
While you may disagree with the parent comment's assessment, I don't see a logic where you can agree with Americans on their 1776-era negative rights and argue that human rights should include a lot of positive rights.

If you're not willing to subordinate negative rights, then how can you claim positive rights as human rights? As someone validly mentioned, they are directly at odds with one another.

This is 100% our philosophy. I honestly don't understand why all high-stakes software isn't developed in the same way that we build these trading/data systems.

I think this is the boundary between "engineering" and "art". In my experience, there are a lot of developers who feel like what they do is not engineering because they believe it to be so subjective and open to interpretation. Perhaps there is a mentality that it cant ever be perfect or 100% correct, so why even try upholding such a standard as realistic? It is certainly more entertaining to consume new shiny technology than sitting down with business owners in boring meetings for hours every week...

In reality, you can build software like you build nuclear reactors. It is all a game of complexity management and discipline. Surprisingly, it usually costs less when you do it this way, especially after accounting for the total lifecycle of the product/service. If you can actually build a "perfect" piece of software, you can eliminate entire parts of the org chart. How many developer hours are spent every day at your average SV firm fighting bugs and other regressions? What if you could take this to a number approximating zero?

The classical retort I hear from developers when I pose comments like these is "Well the business still isnt sure exactly what the app should do or look like". My response to that is "Then why are you spinning up Kubernetes clusters when you should be drawing wireframes and schema designs for the customer to review?"
I can't be the only one who's not hot on crypto. Do we really want a world where even the simplest transaction is permanently recorded publicly and cryptographically sealed?

> So I let management decide. Do they want a quick prototype that is going to be unstable and buggy and difficult to maintain long-term, or do they want something solid that is well tested and stable and refactored and well-documented so newcomers can work on it easily as the team grows?

In my experience; every time I've shown a quick prototype that 'mostly' worked - that went into production.

If Adobe was content to only target the content creator market then they would be putting more effort into distinguishing their product and less effort into trying to frustrate users into submission.
