If this case wins on the argument that it's sexual, doesn't that mean that everyone who owns a copy of the album possesses child porn? At the very least it certainly must mean that his parents and the photographer need to be jailed for producing child porn.

Funny how the incriminating album cover is a prophetic message in itself; the person portrayed on it chasing after money.

On one hand I get it, he didn't consent and what not. But the guy is 30. Why didn't he sue 10 years ago? I have feeling it's because he's trying to ride the wave of political correctness and cancel culture...
This seems somewhat plausible, but how do you know these organizations have anything to do with OnlyFans?
It's difficult to imagine being ashamed of being the baby on that album cover. That seems like one of the ultimate fun facts to share about yourself.
There would probably be a pretty high bar to get this declared illegal as opposed to sufficiently adjacent as to be controversial on something like an album cover. It pretty clearly does not meet the DOJ definition although other countries, perhaps including the UK, may have stricter/different standards. (And it was and would be obviously illegal to distribute in some countries.)

ADDED: And, no, I would not be putting this album cover in my carry-on to get on a plane. I don't really expect a random TSA agent to be up on legal details of what photography is OK and what isn't.
Regardless of what Apple does, law enforcement must always manually review suspected CSAM before requesting a warrant based on it. So the idea that you could SWAT someone with some hash collisions on innocent images is just not possible.

At most you could maybe temporarily lock someone’s iCloud account. But again, the collisions would need to be multiple and all look like CSAM at reduced resolution.

In general, it seems not correct to think about NeuralHash like SHA or RSA. It’s not a cryptographic system and collisions are not a one-step endgame.
Also Fifth Amendment. People are being compelled to testify against themselves by running this CSAM scanner. Apple's end-to-end encryption was sold to users as exactly that.

To all of a sudden introduce this scanner doesn't negate the expectation of privacy as that is how it was sold and marketed. There is an implied warranty of merchantability of how this service functions.

Proxying the files has a number of benefits.

- The first is that I can have all my API endpoints under one domain. This simplifies downloading as you don't need to make a separate request to figure out where the file is stored.

- The storage servers that Hetzner sells only have 1 Gbps bandwidth. That runs out very quickly when a file goes viral. The 10 Gbps caching servers do a lot of heavy lifting here, this makes sure the disks in the storage nodes last longer.

- I can also decide to switch to a different storage system on my storage nodes when I want. I have been considering to deploy reed-solomon encoding for a while. That would make it impossible to link directly to a single storage server as a single file would also be distributed.

- Sending out this much data uses a lot of RAM for TCP send buffers. Installing this RAM on a single content delivery node is cheaper than installing it on every storage server.

To prevent the bandwidth load from affecting the UI speed I have a rate limiter on the download API which slows down when the uplink reaches 95% capacity. This way there is always some bandwidth left for the HTML and database communications.

With regards to content delivery: I want to use pixeldrain to serve static files. Nothing like the fancy site-wrapping tech that cloudflare uses. The idea is that users can have a file tree on pixeldrain somewhat like dropbox. They can copy the direct download link to that file and use it to embed videos, audio and pictures in their own websites. Because this is a lot simpler than other CDN services I can offer it at a very competitive price.

Except that the opinion is question was not formed by critical thinking.

No, there's an important difference between having an a different opinion than "our overlords" and having an opinion that's a paranoid comic book fantasy.

> It’s not much of a stretch to believe that defense contractors lobbied lawmakers to extend a war that made them so much money. Certainly not enough of a stretch to compare it to Qanon.

That's the kind of claim you need evidence for, it's not something you just get to assume (unless you're fine with defective reasoning processes). Furthermore, even if it is true, it doesn't support the original outlandish claim that "The 'war on terror' was not meant to stop terrorism. It was meant to fan the flames and give the US an endless war that can be fought for generations." I wouldn't be surprised if that claim spawned from "9/11 truther" conspiracy theories.
Thanks for the suggestion. In addition to restarting the runtime, I installed numpy independently:

Hello HN,

We are building a note-taking app with OCR to save quotes from paper books, organize them with tags and write down summary of each book.
There are several other apps on the market but they focus only on OCR with no notes features - I believe that usually for each book a user makes a file with notes/ideas, not only quotes.

The plan is to integrate with audiobooks companies (to transcribe audiobooks quotes) and to integrate with ebooks.

It's free to use (paid is text formatting and tags).

I hope you like it! Any feedback is very welcome!
Indeed. But consider the 2nd sentence, the conclusion, and the twitter post.

On the other hand, I certain agree with your idea about teach/using handwritten recursive-descent parsers.
Here's an old book that presents it pretty clearly, along with a nice approach for error handling. Maybe you can find it in a library. https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783540082408

The Sega Genesis games they sell are basically just ROMs. You can go into the folders where they are installed and grab them to use in a different emulator.
I'm curious if the existing cpu performance of even mid-range modern phone SoCs is really even used by most users. I suspect gamering and winning benchmarks may be the primary use cases.

I was trying to reduce power consumption on my phone, and disabled all but one low perf core (the phone's SoC has 2 high perf and 4 low perf cores), and things were very noticeably laggy.

But, then, I tried with only two low perf cores enabled. Everything that I used my phone for (calls, messaging, notes, web browsing with an ad blocker) worked fine. So, the extra four disabled cores really didn't affect my ?average? use case.

I was concerned about consumption during active usage, not idle, but disabling the cores didn't affect power consumption for either (even with only one enabled).
Mobile wikipedia is one of the biggest scourges of the HN comments. People just won't stop linking to it, because they know better than me which version of wikipedia I'd prefer to view.

I was under the impression that this was a matter of pragmatism by the payment processors to avoid the chargebacks that adult-oriented industries are known for. I haven’t heard any source say that this was for Puritanical reasons at all.
from the looks of it, I assume Deta is some sort of PaaS, and aims to be a hybrid between Heroku and Glitch. It's an interesting space to be in, but the product's maturity leaves a lot to be desired.

If you have concerns you should probably just be using Heroku or your own homegrown solution in IaaS/Bare Metal.
I'm surprised that so many comments here are criticizing the plaintiff. It seems obvious to me that (a) nude images of someone should only be distributed with that person's consent, and that (b) 4-year-olds are not old enough to consent to such things. Whether he has a legal case is another issue, but it seems clear to me that morally Elder is in the right.
If any particular right is self-conflicting then it makes no sense trying to avoid conflicts between different rights.
But my point is exactly that: the "central dogma" doesn't exist. Is it essential dogma that gays will not get into heaven? Yes, and also no, depending on the denomination.

When you get a billion people creating hundreds(thousands?) of factions, there are no unifying ideas that bind everyone. I mean the council of Nicea had to happen for exactly this reason.

"Thou shall not kill/murder" is a commandment, and yet the crusades were allowed to happen because of the interpretation of what "kill/murder" means.

Christianity is not a monolith, and the book can be used to justify all sorts of things that other people would feel goes entirely against the core of the faith.

There's no true Scotsmen here because Scotland is a state of mind and not anything absolute.
I took it slightly more subtly as society using consumerism, which we are inherently attracted to, as bait to hook us into things which are not in our best interest.
That's already not true for Quoted entries that contain the separator. Which I think is a common CSV use case.

But I do agree you could have a heuristic. E.g. ends in .csv and contains a lot more commas/semicolons/tabs than you would expect in normal text in the first 1-5 lines.

You could still have the flag as a fallback when you need something that's completely reliable.

"History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes” – Mark Twain
In turn I get what you are saying, but in this case it is not a trivial problem. CSV files seem simple on the surface but there are all sorts of gotchas.

For example, there's plenty of variation between platforms/applications when it comes to just terminating a line. Are we using CR, LF, CR+LF, LF+CR, NL, RS, EOL? What do we do when the source file is produced by an app that uses one approach but doesn't care about the others (allows their occurrence)?

If those others should appear in the data would our "90%-smart" tool make the wrong determination on line termination for the whole file? would everything just break or would this tool churn along and wreck all the data? how long until you noticed?

By my estimation, the "90%-smart" tool would be about 30% dependable unless used only with a known source and format, meaning it wouldn't need to be smart in the first place.
Early early google seems to have used scavenged machines from university as soon as it outgrew what was essentially a phd project? I recall a photo of random assortment of Sun sparcstations and the like.

Whether they did or not, it is encouraged to be aware of them and to seek ways to weaken their efforts to impose their beliefs upon non-believers.
Our field is being carved up by giants. It's a harvesting.

Companies like Apple decided to put energy into extraction rather than enrichment.

It's a shame. I wish I or someone like me was in charge, because I see a way to run things much differently and still produce great value for customers, shareholders, and the ecosystem.

Hoping the DOJ or Congress breaks this up since the Apple leadership won't.
Sigh

Why can't these cults just follow their own rules, why the hell are you trying to take ME to your miserable heaven.

Very interesting stories - such massive doses of psychedelics can be dangerous for a number of reasons and you really shouldn't ingest anywhere near such dosages without medical care on standby.

In general though, anecdotes of psychedelics curing a number of mental illnesses are starting to become well supported by the scientific literature. The wide variety of benefits from psychedelics - particularly psilocybin - are being actively investigated in quite a few clinical trials. We're talking about safe and long-term cures for depression, anxiety, addiction - while also promoting neurogenesis and neuroplasticity [1][2][3].

I believe we're on the brink of a modern psychedelic revolution in medicine, one that has been long overdue since these effects were documented and investigated over 70 years ago - and known to ancient indigenous cultures for thousands of years.

I have a Kobo and I used to do this. And while I enjoyed ereaders for many years, paper is still king. The Kobo's resolution is still not good enough, and being able to flip pages is still more convenient.

The nice thing about the Kobo is you can install your own software, so there's still hope for a better interface.
>I think they'll probably try to grab momentum from some of the other more ... conpsiratorial(?) groups that have some popularity currently.

if they do as you say, which i think is quite plausible, it'll be interesting to see how they fit in the more anti-semetic and end-of-days thoughts that are foundational to those groups.
Yeah, all I was saying is that statistically, it's likely that I overlapped with an undergrad(s) at MIT who has/have an OF. And that I know for certain from Twitter that there are undergrads from similar schools who have OF.

I never prequalified it specifically with 'CS' -- by the way, a lot of the discussion in the thread has tunnel-visioned on CS, but I'm pretty sure that's not the only STEM degree HN would consider 'useful' (if we loop back to the comment I replied to).

There's physics, math, engineering, and much, much more -- and all of those had an even worse job market than CS with the exclusion of those jumping into quantitative finance. The point of the original comment is to highlight how you can do everything 'right' according to the poster and, by necessity or tragedy resulting from a global pandemic, may still end up relying on sex work to make ends meet for a period of time.

The circumstances of the pandemic are only further exacerbated for the hundreds of thousands of STEM graduates not coming from top schools or internships. Finally, I'd like to note that my original comment (way up in the chain) was neither about STEM nor top schools, so I hold that my observation there still holds weight.

TL;DR: the concept that Gen-Z job hunters can simply go to 'the good school' and get 'the good degree' for 'the good job' is entirely subverted in a pandemic, leading to an especially dire job situation for those who are less privileged in education or training. This, coupled with social distancing, was the perfect social context for OnlyFan's recent hypergrowth.
I've added some of what you wrote here to the text above in the hope of making the explanation clearer!
I do. Given that it's a native app, it behaves a bit better on mobile than its web-counterpart. Links to Wikipedia open in the app, so the experience is not that disrupted when switching from web (or other apps) to the app.
Hi Talaba, can you provide a little more detail about which Lisp libraries you use?
Reinfection rate is less than 1%. The biggest issue is that there were lots of false positives with certain tests if you had Flu or other coronavirus colds even if asymptomatic. Even current antibody testing can't distinguish COVID-19 from other coronavirus based colds.

If you had asymptomatic or low symptoms and positive test there's a fair chance you didn't really have COVID. If you had symptoms with shortness of breath and loss of smell without heavy congestion you probably did have COVID.
IANAL of course, but if they had no authorization to use the photo, that sounds like a plausible claim. The CP charges do not sound plausible.

But that is how our legal system works - you don't ask for what you really believe is fair, you throw everything at the wall to see what sticks. I suspect that the CP claim is just for negotiation, to get a settlement on the more reasonable claim.

> Smells like a money grab

I see what you did, there.
Of course, so the best you can do is try and find a job or negotiate some terms that work best for you. But what I see is this false dichotomy that just don't represent the real world and kind of stifle useful conversation.

It's not a matter of "Good for family" or "Bad for family", it's a diverse world out there. Some people work away from home for a full 14 days and then have a full week at home of no work, for some people that's a great compromise. Some people have nothing else, so they like the interaction they get from work, for another example.
