Acquiring companies normally don't really want to preserve the culture or DNA of the acquired company, in my experience (even when they say they do).

Ultimately, they want the whole company running by the same policies and procedures. They don't want to maintain carve-outs for subunits that used to be separate companies.
This is a result of pervasive and systemic corruption.

There’s a dark comedy movie in which a bank officer takes out an agricultural loan (for digging water well) in a victim’s name. Of course the water well exists only on paper and money is promptly pocketed by the banker.

After a few years government appointed loan collectors knock on the victims door. He is flabbergasted and seeks an educated well wisher’s help. He comes up with a brilliant plan. The victim files a police complaint that his water well has been stolen. Hilarity ensues! I don’t recall how it ends though.
> Voter suppression is illegal and carries with it both a fine and up to a year in jail.

Is that a year per person who's vote was suppressed? Seems like an old law meant for before the internet. Now that a single action can affect millions of people it seems prudent to modernize punishment to reflect the scale of attacks.
People here don't seem to realise all this was from pressure from fundamentalist christian groups like Exodus Cry, which managed to collect 2 million signatures pretending to want to protect sex workers and be anti-trafficking.

Well, must still be humiliating to be part of the thing that downright killed music.
People here are indeed ill-informed. Silicon valley has a recent obsession with battery tech and seems to believe that batteries can scale like software. Spoiler - this is not the case.

As i said originally, the technical problem is scale. Even if cost does fall, no battery can power a gigawatt scale grid for more than a few minutes. Yes - minutes. During an extreme weather event, what will happen? There is a lot to learn but the solution - and this the part that people don't like hearing - is a mix of technologies. Batteries are a thin slice of the solution. We need more hydro generation, more nuclear, more wind and more solar PV. It is not a binary choice as many here seem to believe.
Sure. There absolutely are.

But there is a large disparity between "conditions where _ALL_ drivers should stop driving and wait", and "conditions where AP will forcibly disengage, but an average human driver should have no issue carrying on with relative safety".

> What's the goal? Why not just keep milking the proven cash cow and stop growing and risking?

I'm going to ignore the whole "cashing out" and "hyper growth" answers because they've been covered to death.

Rather, I'll just say that this OnlyFans situation is a great example of why you'd want to do that. OnlyFans is a great case of what you described — they have definitely captured a significant chunk of the premium adult content market, and have nice steady revenue streams from there. They could just keep milking that and improving it incrementally.

Yet, that whole revenue stream comes with a huge risk attached (a risk of 'extinction event' proportions) in the form of payment providers refusing to do business with you. Near as I can tell, this whole situation is at least somewhat due to Mastercard pressuring OnlyFans to stop offering adult content (or, at least, to offer it under much more restrictive terms), so this is not some hypothetical risk, it's an actual credible threat. Investment gives them the resources to go find ways to work around that risk somehow.

The most productive conversation you could be having is with your own manager, to express how the organization's assumptions about what employees want is creating functional problems for many of them. Leadership may incorrectly assume that the goal of every employee is to get a new job title and responsibilities, but that's obviously not the facts on the ground.

They should investigate where that assumption came from, and, given there is data which conflicts with it, what should be done next?

The stakes are high: forcing a bad culture onto employees will drive some of them away from the company, and force others to be unhappy, or to take on roles they aren't suited for and won't perform well in.

A strong company culture would support both people who want to move up the org chart, and those who don't, without prejudice. The good news is that if leadership can get over the (clearly incorrect) belief that every good employee always wants a promotion, they can make a huge improvement in culture, retention, and productivity.

50-60%? I would say 90.
I sent you an email. Domain is the same as my un here.
Yes, obviously the person needs to show some sort of ID as well. Quite a few EU countries have ID cards, but I suppose a driving licence would do as well.

The card includes the holder's name and DOB, I believe, so along with showing ID this makes copying a card useless.

The only alternative I can think of (assuming we do want secure Covid 'passport') is to have a picture taken when you get your jab and include that picture in a secure card... That's probably more difficult to implement when the vast majority of people have a photographic ID (ID card or driving licence, or even passport which is a very common document to have in Europe).
> So do the user-facing servers act as reverse proxies for the storage servers, or do you simply serve a redirect?

Yes, my user-facing servers are proxying the files to the users.

> I'd expect that the file access patterns are power-law distributions

Exactly. On each server I have a sorted slice in-memory which keeps track of how often files are being requested. The most popular files are cached and files which drop out of the cache are moved to HDD storage servers in Helsinki. This way I can serve 10 Gbps of data to the users while only putting a 1 Gbps load on the storage nodes.

> How do you handle users uploading forbidden content?

I get a lot of abuse mails, mainly copyright violations. I have a mailserver which is hooked into pixeldrain which scans mails from common copyright offices and automatically blocks the files. For other types of abuse I have a report button on the download page. Users report content which breaks the rules and once the number of reports hits a certain threshold the file is blocked.

> From a business perspective: How did you grow your site?

Most file sharing sites are really terrible. Like almost unusable. It's pretty easy to beat the competition in UX. I just started using pixeldrain myself on reddit and other forums. In the beginning people complained in the comments about the ergonomics of the site and I listened carefully. Eventually when the kinks were worked out other people started using it too.
This is exactly what I've done, by the way. Same mITX motherboard you cite below with a Ryzen without integrated graphics (since the board itself supports VGA). 10 GbE and a whole bunch of SATA lanes. I didn't bother with trying to get it into a real chassis. I just grabbed a desktop case from Fractal Design that can hold 10 disks and it fits fine in my wall-mounted entertainment center cabinet below my television. It's in there with my router, a switch, and a few Minisforum small form factor Ryzen PCs. The only "gotcha" with cooling is you need to use a CPU cooler meant for Intel even though the chip is Ryzen, but the board documentation clearly tells you this. I'm just using simple Noctua low-profile fans. I also cut some holes in the cabinet and put in USB-powered cabinet fans, so I can keep the doors closed.

So sure, it's DIY and some work, but putting together the NAS itself and putting together the cabinet, including the cooling and wiring, only took one weekend.

It consumes more power compared to ARM, but I'm cooling a 4-story house with 18 foot ceilings in Texas anyway, so it's not a noticeable difference.
Smells like money grab
Essentially, a photograph is a near perfect capture of an individual. A fresco is a stylized representation of an individual. I an not saying photography isn't art. But rather, culturally, people are more willing to accept an abstract representation of a nude child rather than a photograph of one. I assume, because, people don't see the fresco as 'real' as a photograph.

I'm sure cultural relativism plays a part, too. If something looks like a renaissance painting people are primed to accept it as art.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taboo#Etymology

I think it's weird to try and correct a person using the accurate cultural terms with a mis-hearing of some european in the 1700s. If anything "tapu" is the technically correct term when referring to a concept in the context of Maori culture specifically, and taboo is a shitty mishearing of a foreigner of a different language.

Similar to say, if I was talking about java's methods. In C# they're functions. But since I'm talking about Java, and specifically Java's basic behavior, method is the correct technical terminology to signify the context of what I'm talking about. It'd be weird for a C# person to show up, tell me that "actually, these are functions", if I'm saying "in Java, X is called a method".
These are all great, but I've done none of them and get maybe 1 spam call a month. It's easy... just answer the calls and talk to them.

Have a bookmark to https://www.getcreditcardnumbers.com, go along with their script and feed them all the fake CC numbers they want. After a couple, they'll cuss you out, hang up, and put you on the real do-not-call list. You're hurting them by tying up a phone line, a "representative's" time, and making them give bad credit card numbers to their payment processor.

Like I said, my spam calls are down to one a month. I get excited when one calls. At first I was doing a call every day or so, but it fizzled out really fast.

Spammers are a business; if you make it hideously unprofitable to call you they'll quit calling you.

"After running the hashes against 100 million non-CSAM images"

They don't say what kind/distribution of non-CSAM images. Landscapes? Parent pix of kids in the bathtub? Cat memes? Porn of young adults? Photos from real estate listings?

This is 3rd article from the site with exadurated claims and stupidly aggresive click-bait titles, I've seen just today.

Firefox USED to allow accessing reader mode by prepending the url with 'about:reader?url='. This doesn't work anymore and I don't know what to use instead. There is a reader mode button that toggles it on and off, but some websites redirect or change the content before I can click the button. Sometimes the button just doesn't appear (why not, reader mode usually works fine). Refreshing the page sometimes works, if the website doesn't redirect or change the address.

Is there some other way to force reader mode before the page load?
> ensure that nearly all of the next generation of CSAM will suffer from hash collisions with perfectly innocent images.

Even then, for that to affect _John Doe_, they would have to make 30+ images whose hash matches that of images in _John Doe’s_ iCloud account.

I think that means they could target individuals, but only if they knew or could guess what photos they have in their account.

They also might be able to target groups of individuals, say people who went on holiday to Paris. It would be interesting to see whether such people have enough overlap in the sets of Neuralhashes of photos they took there.
