Do I understand correctly that sex work is still illegal in the US? If so, what's the rationale? Why can't consenting adults do what they want with their body?
I think so, but it doesn't mean that it is a good idea... Every bit that creates an official identity should be handled with great care.
Fantastic read, thank you.

> You might carry away feelings of disgust, shame, or hatred. Not everyone feels like this, but if you do, I would not recommend escorting

Just like mental fatigue (term meant as a catch all) is an integral and non separable part of IT work, the feelings described in the quote are not optional for sex workers! You WILL get burned by all the downsides of escorting, it WILL change how you perceive yourself, it WILL affect your dating life, relationships, etc.

Some are more resilient than others, you can deal with it better or worse and preparation surely helps. But don't think you can have your cake and eat it too.

I've started very open minded about the profession as a young man. Looking back on it I now think it was justification so I can allow myself to date sex workers as they are on average quite attractive, go figure. And while individuals differ and you can find the same issues outside of sex workers, the job guarantees some problems of which I personally I grew tired of. I am currently avoiding the profession for romantic interests and would not recommend anybody I care about to go into it. Discrimination sometime has objective serious motivation, the motives are just lost to some.
Ok, let me rephrase. What I mean is - how I see it - that Apple just made the choice for every developer and gave them a conceptual model and tooling that does not depend on individual pixels or require them to make an extra effort in adoption (because you know how that goes.)

It baffles me that Linux is still stuck on this pixel grid that just hangs together at a specific density of 96dpi; something that harks back to the VGA days

I'm not sure that's true. There are wealthy, powerful men who can pay any hourly rate for sex and who are practically above the law in many parts of the world. It would be a mistake to assume that some of them wouldn't assault an escort in the not inaccurate belief that they can do whatever they want with impunity.

IME code quality only matters in the parts that require a lot of change. If you keep your mess contained and easy to replace, the inside doesn't matter in 90% of the cases. You do need to care about code quality in areas where code changes a lot, but you most likely do not know what these areas are upfront.

I consider focus on code quality everywhere a form of premature optimization. Only focus on quality where it hurts... But if it hurts (f.e. you had to change it 3 times and it got messier each time), be very disciplined about refactoring to a better model: whiteboard, brainstorm etc and don't start refactoring until you found a better model.

Some years ago Google had the option to remove a website from search results. After a few months they discontinued. It would be nice to know why, if the user adoption was too low, the computational cost too high, or the user experience too bad because users inadvertently removed good results.

>security hole

Its really not that hard to imagine how you can do this in a secure way. Git has identity and signatures built in. Maybe only updates from trusted users are considered, and you still must agree to the updates, etc etc.

Throwing up our hands and saying its impossible seems like a terrible choice.
Yeah, definitely a good rule of thumb :)

But in this case a total rewrite would have saved time, and improved velocity. Looking back on it. It was impossible to really know at the time, though.

Fortunately this project was more presentational than business logic heavy, so missing functionality would have been easy to notice when testing (all visual).

I wouldn't agree that running is a sign of success necessarily. There are a lot of running legacy systems that get beaten out and replaced by competitors due to low development velocity.

Of course a lot of that comes down to the culture of the org and so on. But in a lot of cases architectural flaws are at the root of it.

The real question with a rewrite is a cost-benefit one. And it's based on estimates so there should be a lot of room for error.

Old versions of Android apps are frequently archived on sites like APKMirror and Aptoide.

- APKMirror: https://www.apkmirror.com

- Aptoide (requires app store download, stick with "trusted apps" for security): https://aptoide.com

Also, Aurora Store lets you download older versions from the Play Store through the "Manual download" menu option. You'll need the "version code" (different from version number) of the app version you want to download.

It depends on 1 ("one") legislation. Its not like theres inherently anything stopping this from happening except the insatiable hunger of some rich dudes. I believe the EU is forcing the iphones to have usb-c?
The legality is addressed in the article:

> You can in fact get issued an escort license in some cities (e.g., San Francisco or Grand Chute, or Jefferson County, WA). I don’t know if this is a good idea, neither I nor anybody I know has applied for this, though I seriously considered. It’s possible it might grant you some legal protection, but also possible it might give you some legal issues, as it puts a lot of information about you in a government file that clearly states you are in fact an escort.

Based on that, from an escort viewpoint, the legal protections are not a worthy tradeoff for privacy.

Ultimately, in the context of the country/culture, legal protection is a progressive position, but it's not sufficient, unless complemented by a degree of anonymity. Not sure how that could work, though!
One possibility: You might be getting that AAAA from a v4 DNS server (or resolver/cache), whereas `dig -6 fly.io` attempts the query over v6. For example, try `dig -4 fly.io AAAA` ("use a v4 DNS server address from /etc/resolv.conf to get the v6 (AAAA) record") versus `dig -6 fly.io` ("use a v6 DNS server from /etc/resolv.conf to get the address") - the latter may not work if you don't have IPv6 set up on your local network. Basically, your /etc/resolv.conf on your computer (or home router) is pointing at an IPv4 address for a DNS server, so that DNS server/resolver is probably defaulting to giving you a v4 record back.

Your browser, however, may also be circumventing all of this and may be using DoH to a public DNS server, and therefore may have a completely different DNS querying experience than what you're seeing with dig...so you should also take a look at what your browser's network inspector tells you about the host you're getting the fly.io content from.

Database researcher here.

This is really cool! I wonder what was the initial drive for this new feature?

Is this meant to be a "short-cut" to express complicated SQL queries, or is this meant to adding new semantics beyond SQL? While I like the idea of custom data types with dataflow-like syntax, implementing a whole new query processing engine for the new data type seems like a lot of engineering work. Also you now have to handle many edge cases such as very very large time series -- I wonder if you have efficient lookup mechanisms on timevectors yet, and various timestamp and value types. If all these new syntax can actually be expressed using SQL, however complex, I think a "lazier" approach is to write a "translator" that rewrites the new syntax into good old SQLs or add a translator at planning stage. This way you can take advantage of Postgres' optimizer and let it do the rest of heavy lifting.

Kusto has a similar data type "series" that is also created from aggregating over some columns (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-explorer/kusto/q...).
We seem to be living in some sort of an information complexity singularity, and it seems to be getting more complex exponentially with time.

Loihi 2: A New Generation of Neuromorphic Computing
I don’t trust Google Pixel anymore.

I leave outside US and in my country Google has no official dealer. I bought an unlocked Pixel 3 via my friend in US, who shipped it to me.

At first, everything seemed good unless it started to lag in few months. First, battery percentage was stuck at 26% (but the phone was charging), then, received phone calls were having a very bad quality (calls via messengers were good).

So, in conclusion, I couldn’t:
1) understand if the phone was charged or not;
2) always had a bluetooth earpods with me in case I needed to call or receive a phone call.

It appeared that both of the issues were a hardware failures and needed my phone to be shipped back to US to the Google Service Center, which I didn’t do.

When you pay a decent money for a flagship phone, such issues are unacceptable.

Pixel 6 might be an excellent phone, but I’m not risking my $$$ anymore with it.

There are people working to disprove this. There is a concept floating around that the CMB might contain evidence of something from before the BB.

Let's do the math. So how does public health insurance work in Germany?

* There is a base rate of 14.6% from your gross that split between the employer and employee. The split is not important for our calculation as it will come out of the same budget an employer has for one employee I guess.

* Public insurance providers can demand an additional contribution that was on average additional 1.3 percentage points. The highest I could find is 2.5 percentage points extra.

* There is an upper limit. You only have to pay for your first 58050€ ($67564) a year. For everything you earn above that you do not pay more.

* Family members that do not work or do not earn more than 450€ per month are included for free

So that means from the money your employer has available to pay you a maximum of (14.6 + 2.5) * 58050 / 100 = 9927€ ($11556) a year or 827€ ($963) a month.
Isn't that deliberate? Isn't it even in the name? "on rails" - you are supposed to be stuck on the track laid out for you, but the benefit is that you can move more goods with less effort as long as you do it on the given paths.

So would you please help me to find an ROM with an up-to-date Android Common Kernel for my i9300 Samsung Galaxy S3?

AFAIK, the only way to run it with working drivers for all hardware components, are ROMs which use the rusty 3.0.101 Linux kernel from back in the day and I think that is what DCKing is referring to. If you want to create a new ROM, you either have to use the old kernel and have an upper Limit of Android 7.x (in this case) or you have to accept, that not all components are supported (e.g. no GPS).

I would be glad if the situation would be different. Maybe it is different for phones you buy today?
You stated the reason why I'll never get any Samsung hardware: bloated software, by design.

I still believe Huawei is missing out big time. When they got banned in the US, they should have *open sourced the whole stack* and put forward a truly open Android platform and let it thrive. They make the best hardware (cameras!) but their limited closed-source environment is a definitive no.

Conclusion: I hope the Pixel 6 will be available in my country soon!

To both the parent and GP: I posted a comment that explicitly pointed out that blaming this or that political party is worse than useless. Of all the places on the Internet to woof for “red” or “blue” this seems like an especially weird one.

It’s a fact of life that there’s a bunch of tribal instinct wired into Homo Sapiens, anyone who’s ever been to a professional sporting event knows that.

But handling critical, complicated, delicate issues around the governance of the human race with all the subtlety and nuance of a drunk Chelsea supporter in a pub is uh, not the move.

I don’t know how many times humanity needs to go through this tiresome exercise where the prosperous just can’t keep their hand out of the cookie jar, distract the body politic with deliberately inflamed tribal identification, and push it until the plebs epater les bourgeoisie, and we get a new set of assholes owning the damned water every needs to drink before we get to some kind of semi-stable Nash equilibrium, but if I never heard a politician’s name or some appeal to identity politics ever again: it would be too soon.

This time it returned relevant result for me too, I recall getting annoyed by it some time ago so maybe its not relevant example anymore.

Anyway, it happens all the time. Goole assumes that I mean something and I need to quote words trying to enforce my query. Pretty much every time when the returned results don't include the words I typed is a frustration for me. It makes it very hard to fix the query because I need to study every result instead of having no results or obviously low quality results.

It's especially hard when I'm not well versed in the subject, so I need to go through the results only to realize that these results are not about the thing I'm looking for.

BTW, I do less Googling these days. I would usually search Reddit, HN and StackOverflow directly from their websites as the search results would be from the expected domain and not too smart but just enough smart to correct typos etc. Also the filters work better.
