Onlyfans keeps identity documents for its members so trafficking-wise they are actually safer than facebook. there are all other businesses affected by the same discrimination, e.g. sex toy shops, dating websites, nudist websites, basically anything that shows skin. I find it hard to believe that chargebacks are so much of an issue, especially since there are third parties willing to take the risk for a high fee (CCbill).
When I was in Iceland, I considered a side trip to Greenland, just because no one I knew had ever been there.

I thought better of it when I realized it's a 3-hour flight from Reykjavik, and very, very little tourist infrastructure.

But I'd love to go to Thule. I bet you could give a talk on practically ANY topic, and everyone would show up! What else is there to do?
Kidding aside, this is exactly how it will go down. Politician in a scrape of financial corruption or etc.? Deepfake s*x video or other viral blatant misinformation & obfuscation; what's the risk? Upside, no one knows what to believe. Exactly what various "countries" are doing. It will be extreme; to the point where, don't believe half of what you actually see.
The article presents a spectrum, dismisses both extremes, and advocates that people aim for the middle. The problem is, you may think you are hanging out in the middle, but you probably have much less privacy than you think you do. Even if you are making the right choices for today, you can't trust that the future will keep things private (advances in ML, ubiquitous surveillance) and you don't know that futures isn't here yet.

Personally, I hang out at the fully open end of that spectrum. This has worked out pretty well for me; I don't think I've run into any downsides.

We're already doing the latter, because if it's really the case that they're not "economically viable", the people would have starved to death long time ago.

I'm not against society subsidizing the lifestyle of people who are not productive enough to afford it, but judging by your other comments, you seem to be against companies hiring the very same people for extra money.

>Right now, we consider that labor near worthless, despite society depending on it massively

that's not a contradiction. Civilization is "massively" dependent on clean drinking water, yet you can get it from the tap for pennies a gallon.
The neat thing about these power law numbers is that you don't need to estimate whether we're talking 83 or 91. You just need to do enough work to tell apart 1000 from 10, which is often considerably easier.

And note that I'm not saying you'll always know down to the cent, or even closest hundred dollar bill. Sometimes your best estimation is going to be "between zero and 999999" and that's fine. If you've determined that, you also know which of your inputs have the most uncertainly, and that might represent a blind spot of yours at an important aspect of the business.

Or it represents a fundamentally unknowable thing. But then at least you know you're staking this part of the development on a fundamentally unknowable thing. That's more than many other know.

> paying for its impact

The rationale of a carbon tax is to make prices account for the externality, so that people use carbon-emitting energy where it's still worth it, and stop where it's not. (And over time encourage everyone to find better ways to do things.)

You might see this as a quibble, but there's so much misunderstanding. E.g. the #1 objection is about the expense to poor people, but if all this tax revenue went straight back to a UBI it would not affect the above logic. The objection does have force if it's "funneled back into paying for its impact" instead.

I think with ML getting smarter and people posting (either with their identity or anonymously) more and more content, it will be trivial to crossmatch anonymously posted content to real identities by ML examining "styles" of text: from punctuation to sentence structure to vocabulary use, and it will have an accurate estimation of who that "anonymous" person is.
The link for #A011260 is https://oeis.org/A011260

There is now a github repository for the software: https://github.com/hayguen/mlpolygen

It is not that simple for larger numbers. The brute force method would require one to check 2^n different values and for each about 2^n steps. That makes 2^2n steps. For n=32 this is about 10^18 steps.

Sometimes it feels like Microsoft and/or C#-enjoyers just want to re-implement everything that already exists. While having many implementations to choose from if you need to select a solution to an outstanding problem is great, it makes me wonder why re-implementing something with no discernible benefit keeps eating time/resources all over the place.

In similar cases of implementing reverse proxies in C, C++, Rust, Go and Java, there were generally benefits in various shapes and sizes like different security models, performance vs. capability trade-offs and integrated vs. specialised solutions. In this case, it just seems to be a "we don't want the stuff we didn't build ourselves" which is a shame considering the benefits of pooling resources on existing implementations would have.
There's always a tradeoff though. With more secure backup factors, the more likely it is that you could end up locked out with no recourse.

The Australian Government circa 2010 introduced a carbon tax... it was one of the first governments in the world to do so. It causes prices to go up, miners to threaten to close mines as costs became too high, basically it was a shit show and the government went to election against a conservative party promising to remove the tax and make it impossible to bring it back, ever, if it won... of course, it won and has remained in power since then. Today, Australia is probably one of the worst offenders when it comes to carbon emissions per-capita, and its Government is hostile to carbon emission reductions except when it costs no jobs, no taxes and no worries to anyone , i.e. never.

I think we can see this scenario playing up again in quite a few other countries, unfortunately... for this reason, I don't think taxes will solve the problem.

I flipped your first example because it doesn't relate to the situation we're talking about and what you were responding to.

B isn't trying to take something from A.
A is trying to woo (something near B) and B is promising consequences.

It no longer has anything to do about who is right, or what is right... that black and white right and wrong are no longer relevant.

If B is willing to back up the claims, A has to seriously consider their choices.

It's pretty close to the same in my example with the cousin... It doesn't matter if B is an asshole or is wrong, what does that have to do with anything?

The funny thing is, I don't think I'm even taking a position on the actual argument... I just think there's so much narrative control that many aren't even capable of considering alternative explanations.

If you're saying that the quality of life in China and India is rising, bully for them! An ideal world would see immigration primarily motivated by preference and not poverty or oppression.

I would, however, suggest that "quality of life" doesn't begin and end at house prices but also is tied to e.g.: civil freedoms, which you'll find Canada scores much higher than either you examples here by large margins in any (incomplete/flawed, etc...) freedom index [0].

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_in_the_World

The bottom line is I don't see evidence for Canada's "fall from grace" and even less for it being tied to immigration.
I'm glad to see Microsoft supporting more low-level magic like this. I've written my own version of ReverseProxyMiddleware more times than I can recall... The most painful parts were always around translating between HttpClient and HttpContext. Looks like Microsoft abstracted this exact concern away under the IHttpForwarder and ForwarderHttpClientContext types.

Looking at the docs around this, I'd probably start w/ Direct Forwarding so I have more control over how things route:

I always fear orientalism when reading articles like this. There is a mix of the word philosophy in these articles as if they are discovery. In the west science relies on discovery, observations, evaluation then conclusion to create new invention. Indian texts like those that outline the yoga moves aren't inventions in the same way and neither is ayurveda. The Hindu sages did not do scientific experiments to realise these great benefits to human society. They knew them from disciplic succession and ultimately they say taken from Demi god's themselves. Therefore there was no need for discovery.

How much could they charge, and why? At least where I'm from with a supermarket always nearby, the convenience factor is going to be worth something, but they'll always have to compete with just picking things up yourself, which I'm assuming will always cost a lot less. Doesn't feel like there's room for a whole lot of margin on top of that.

> Are you implying that a different legal framework is applied to government officials than that applied to civilians?

There's no legal framework to apply. This person isn't being jailed or charged with a crime. They're just being expelled from their government position for a specific reason.

> “Working against” can be defined very broadly, and at least in some circumstances

Almost anything can be defined broadly, especially a short comment on a forum. I'm not defining a legal framework here, or coming up with a legally airtight document (such a document would be thousands of pages long). This is a comment on a forum to discuss a particular event where someone was ejected from government for financially supporting a campaign to commit illegal acts. We're also talking about the Canadian government here, not the Belarusian government.
Developing for mobile is so much easier overall with the Ionic framework.

Perhaps the focus should then be on making it easier to get that junk out of the working tree? Better stashing?
Maybe there should be some metadata that indicates whether a renewal is approved by the previous owner. That might require some extra administration by domain registrars and probably couldn't be applied retrospectively, but it would be useful.

The other place where this potentially matters is CAs issuing TLS certificates for domains that expire before the certificate does. If they detect that a domain they have issued a certificate for has been subsequently registered by a new entity, they should revoke the old certificate.
This is a guess but Quebec and even Montreal are quite unique in North America. There's influence from both North America but also Europe. It may sound cliche but it is true. E.g. try to ignore or cut through the language politics of various parties and it will be hard to find equivalents in many other places in NA. Maybe some of that is something that spoke to him and made him go there. If he went to Montreal specifically it is even true what he said: He didn't have to learn French to be able to live and survive in Montreal, depending on the area he lived in and frequented.

Side note: apparently there are "agencies" in some countries that let you pick an equivalent city in their own country as a "benchmark" for the kind of lifestyle you'd like to have and they tell you which North American city to immigrate to and how to do that (i.e. how to meet the legal requirements, paperwork etc.). Maybe he used one of those services.
I think async/await is kind of a didactic mistake. It’s marketed as a way to not have to think about the underlying abstraction, but lack of the understanding about how it works under the hood will almost certainly bite you in this ass. This I find to be especially true when people are writing mixed async and sync code. The best way for me to learn was writing all of the code before the async/await sugar existed (scala in my case).
> it doesn't matter what anyone's background is, they can still access banking and pools of liquidity to move between assets and trade with others anyway.

Julian Assange & Wikleaks had no access to the banking system because a US politician asked the banks to refuse them service at a time when they had not been charged with any crime.

I would suggest also adding some sort of error counting into the mix (perhaps allowing 3-5 lives in total, maybe with bonus lives if you're fast or you get it on the first try). Right now it's a bit too easy to semi-brute force shapes that are somewhat similar.

It would also be good to have increasing levels of difficulty. Eventually you could add a leaderboard.

It's stretching credulity beyond the usual exaggerated hype associated with AI. What we have now is semi-OK forecasting at scale, nothing more. We (as in the researches, platform and technology) can get a system to select what looks to be a valid response to a host of stimuli, e.g., chess moves, patient diagnostics, vehicle driving etc.

None of this "thinks for itself", nor is it remotely near to such levels of conscious self-awareness. I'm sick of this hype, it's been going on since the 1905's with hucksters promising robot household domestics, and all sorts of kooky weirdness that was swallowed up by the popular media.

LXC and Docker comparisons vastly differ depending on the use case and problem segment. I use LXC as a tiny, C-only library to abstract namespaces and cgroups for embedded usage [1]

LXC is a fantastic userland library to easily consume kernel features for containerization without all the noise around it… but the push for the LXD scaffolding around it missed the mark. It should’ve just been a great library and that’s how we use it when running containers on embedded Linux equipment
