There has been discussion even in secular settings about raising the minimum age for sex/porn workers to 21. The secular reasoning is to help prevent exploitation with the idea that some of the 18 year old performers don't understand when they're being taken advantage of, or the full repercussions of their actions. I think August Ames suicide kick off some of this discussion.
You would probably need switch (battery isolator, Dc-DC charger, etc ) of some sort to isolate the two systems to fully eliminate this, but part of the answer is the Lifepo4 keeps its voltage higher through most of it's capacity than lead does. Thus the voltage of a Lifepo4 at ~20% is the same as a lead acid at ~100%.
You know how the internet is a series of tubes? Well someone clogged the bitcoin tube over at Binance.
Not a mental leap.

If you are saying 'ALL crypto is a scam' this also includes all and any crypto offerings by any company. Stripe, Coinbase, FTX, Binance, Moneygram etc are included. Not to mention the 'DeFi' space as well.
I am super interested in this, is there a grid tie solar box out there that supports heterogenous battery chemistry like you are describing?
The only reason the price went into the stratosphere was the millions of speculators using custodial wallets. So it seems that many (likely most?) users didn't actually care about the "feature" of being able to self-host - what they actually wanted was a higher yielding bank account. Hence the reason so many people don't really believe it has much of a future as a fiat replacement.

Wikipedia is certainly not immune from manipulation. A friend of mine worked for a firm that edited Wikipedia pages for a fee and typically catered towards the ultra-wealthy and politicians.
The version being built (2.4) is over twenty years old and had much less code.

If you take a modern kernel (like 5.x) and build configure it with 'make tinyconfig', it should build similarly quickly.
I think the comment in and of itself is not very substantiated but that's not why I commented. The comment I was replying to is a complete non-sequitur. The top-level comment only mentioned "non western immigrants" in passing by saying that they were _less_ likely to be unemployed. To follow this with ranting about "non-western immigrants" is simply not acting in good faith and not adhering to the site guidelines, especially

The real problem in this case is that an abusive ex has way more leverage than before. We can't say "stop providing that leverage", because it's victim-blaming, but those backward social norms were there for a reason.

Holding BTC for the long term has historically been a lucrative investment. Just not holding it on one of the many centralized exchanges that always seem to get hacked or go bust.
> There's a real tention between "application" and "document system".

Not really. The web implements a "document as application" or "living document" model. Since the most rudimentary software is just printing static text (and static graphics) you get quite a bit of mileage with just HTML & CSS. The web scales nicely from this to fully interactive applications, and I think some of the tension you are perceiving comes from the fact it's easy to disable or override features built into to the browse, and often developers find a way to do something novel, and in doing so, break thinks like the clipboard.

The prime directive in programming is to read and understand the code the code and tools you are relying on (the hard part).

Everyone skips the hard part, and squabbles over whether it's okay or possible to redefine 'high quality' to include code written by people who never did the hard part.

Suffering by software's user's is tge inevitable result of this misclassification of the prime directive to be "write" oriented.

The US homicide rate not using guns is also higher than many other country entire homicide rates.

Maybe the violence in the US is not simply guns?

We also jail our citizens vastly more than other countries, we have different social safety nets, we are a different age (more akin to all the Americas), and many other factors that show your view is missing relevant evidence.

In fact, gun ownership rates across civilized countries negatively correlates with overall homicide rates. Can you explain that also by your belief that guns are the main driver of violence? The same happens across US states, which have varying gun laws. And when analyzing violence before and after gun law changes across all countries, not simply poster child Australia, the picture is again much cloudier than you imply.

For example, the CDC study [1] done under Obama concluded that guns are used more often to deter crimes than are used for crimes. If this is true, it's entirely possible there is enough violence here regardless of guns that naive bans could cause more harm than not. You should read the study, not simply the parts you believe, to get a much better view on state of the art research on guns and violence in the US.

> To find out, Takanori Takebe, a gastroenterologist from Cincinnati Children's Hospital, and his colleagues tested several approaches to ventilating the intestines of mice and pigs that were deprived briefly of oxygen. In one group of 11 mice, four had their intestines scrubbed to thin the mucosal lining and improve oxygen absorption. Next, the researchers injected pure, pressurized oxygen into the rectums of the scrubbed mice and four of the seven unscrubbed ones.

> Then, the researchers withdrew oxygen from the animals, making them "hypoxic." The three unscrubbed mice that received no intestinal oxygen survived for a median of 11 minutes. Mice with unscrubbed intestines that received oxygen through their anuses lasted 18 minutes. Only the ventilated mice with brushed intestines lived through the hourlong experiment, with a survival rate of 75%, the researchers report today in Med.

This is fucking horrifying.
Perhaps the intent was seeing what crazy HN thread would be started :) My reading of the last paragraph was that there is no safe language since in the end it's always up to the programmer.

It sounds to me like 2 different uses of "identity". One for distinguishing an individual. The other for asserting a narrative.

That's 2 quite different uses.

This is the verification process listed on Pornhub's website which you must complete before you're allowed to upload anything:

Before you are able upload Content on the Website, you need to verify your identity. In order to do so, you need to submit to us high-res images or scans of a minimum of one to two information documents, containing your date of birth, expiration date of the ID, your photo, your full legal name and your address. This could be, for example, your driver’s license (in countries where a national ID is not mandatory), international passport, citizenship card, state ID, national passport or your national ID card. The other form of identification may be a utility bill. If all the required information is set out on your government-issued photo ID, you do not need a second document. We may, in our sole discretion, require you to provide us multiple forms of identification to establish proof of adulthood and identity. Facial verification and an assessment of the authenticity of the aforementioned documents is also required in the context of our verification of your identity. Our collection, use and disclosure of such information and documentation is governed by our Privacy Policy.

Now, I obviously haven't gone through the process and I don't know how well these rules are enforced, but I don't see what more they could require except for actors/actresses to come to their offices for a direct interview.

There are tons of shady and seedy websites that will explicitly reupload content banned elsewhere, but Pornhub is actually one of the few companies that seems to have their ethics in check. They've removed the majority of their library and switched to a verified-only system, wiping out over a decade of porn in one fell swoop.

There are many websites that need to be kicked off the web and the owners of which should be arrested. I don't believe Pornhub is one of them. Pornhub is the most famous company, though, and it makes an easy target for the explicitly ban-all-porn organisation that's featured in this article.
We should also have the fight to hold journalists accountable for writing BS. Anything this article talks about can be said about Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, Pinterest, VK, Telegram and any company that allow user submitted content.
I think there are only 2 questions you need to answer to decide if someone is your friend.

1. Do you trust them?

2. Do you care about them?

Ideally it should reciprocated. The hard part is getting there, usually it comes naturally as you spend more time with the other person out of your own volition.
Just because you are meeting someone everyday at work does not mean they will become your friends, do you trust them? do you care about them?

Once you friends you don't need to meet often as long the trust and care is still there. You can become friends in short time as well if you decide to put the trust early into the other person and they reciprocate. Point is, there is no formula or plan to follow.

When I say friend I mean a true friend, not colleagues or acquaintances. Were these meanings mixed into "friend" word before Facebook as well?

Unfortunately it's not fully-fledged enough to work properly with all CI configs. I had trouble with some conditions but also I note that it doesn't seem to implement reusable workflows yet.
It's also a bit fiddly to set up so you don't run into API rate limits.

I think that people who are interested in having resilience should write their GHA CI config for act and then be happily surprised when it works on GitHub too.
Or write them as something more portable (Earthfiles are interesting, but a bit clunky when I tried) that can also be executed locally — having the GitHub-specific stuff just be a very light wrapper to 'call into' the portable scripts.
Nothing, RSS is alive and well. I got to this HN post in a RSS reader. But yeah, if it were up to the BigCos it would be dead already. It's kind of funny to think so many companies sponsored the development of both the RSS2 and Atom specs 15+ years ago, and suddenly they must have realized, "Oopsie, we shouldn't have come anywhere near this thing, EVERYONE BACK AWAY SLOWLY".
I think you skipped some premises in your argument. I don't see anything that would say this would apply to only women, nor does it say the exploitation/abuses only happen to women.
One way anti-pornography advocates define pornography is by taking child pornography definitions and removing the child specific parts. I don't have formal legal definitions right now but one someone might offer, based on the definition of child pornography found on wikipedia [0], would be "any visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct ~involving a minor~" (involving a minor struck out). I think this is a good way of defining it since it helps use court rulings to deal with the inherent ambiguity when on the edge of what is considered pornography vs not pornography.

What do you think of that from a definition standpoint?

> Vile things such as bondage
This isn’t really a left/right issue and casting it that way is inane.

Most all entities hyperfocused on single issues will always rank their principles (or what they are paid to have principles for) over others.

The libertarian ideal that you have the right to publish (where “publish” is on a spectrum of selling a sex tape to sharing on social media) videos of someone’s sexual performance without their consent is kind of extreme and problematic. As is the pious religious practitioners position that this stuff should be banned (also a wide range).

The reality is that the porn business is a grey market, shady affair, and the incentive of the Pornhubs of the world is to just keep making money and ignore whatever problems get left in their wake. In doing so, they are enabling criminals to utilize their platform.

Somehow I don’t think whatever MindGeek is doing is fundamentally better than what YouTube is. They purged a bunch of video when they determined they were at risk - not the actions of an entity that gives a shit.
Those companies aren't immune from getting suckered in to a scam.

A wait-free single-producer single-consumer ring buffer for the Web
Medium really doesn't need a large team. The whole product could have been produced and maintained even now by 4-5 devs. An operation like that could be donation based, for sure. Not every idea deserves to be or would even be useful as a billion dollar corporate monster. Many would be maximally useful as a small donation-based service, run by 2-5 devs. Were it not for VC funding and a crazy startup culture, ideas like this would never grow beyond a 5 person company, anyway. The decline in medium usage is just a market correction. It was never a profitable idea. Once it becomes profitable, people don't want it.
Not knowing if the other party has consented means you don't have consent.
Two guesses:

Guess one, they made a big transaction with most of their hot wallet, partially paying out to someone who withdrew, with the rest going back to the hot wallet. This transaction is in the queue but not finalized yet.
The network won't accept any other spends of that money. Because that would be a double spend. So until that transaction is finalized (or it gets to old) that bitcoin is 'stuck'.

Or alternatively their hot wallet is empty and they have an outstanding transaction to refill it from their cold wallet. (They have the cash, but they have to wait until they can get it from their 'vault', and there is a traffic jam on the way to the vault).

I am not sure the first guess actually still works this way, I vaguely recall there are now mechanisms for one transaction to 'override' another non-confirmed transaction.

Years ago I would disagree with this, but seeing how easy it is for anyone of any age to access these sites, I think it would just be better for society to ban it as well. Young kids, pre-teens, are getting their first introductions to sexuality from the most extreme and depraved pornography ever made available - often before parents even have “the talk”. Even if you’re on top of it as a parent, it only takes one of their friends with a phone to show them. How are we OK with this? Everyone of these sites is full of videos of step-siblings, step-parents, etc., engaged in sex. “Water sports” is apparently mainstream now. None of this beneficial to society.

It’s also strange that in the era of MeToo, where even seemingly routine situations of consensual adult sex can be retroactively classified as acts of sexual violence, that we are accepting of these extreme and violent depictions of sex being normalized and widely available. The whole “sex work is work” push isn’t helping, as it’s only encouraging young people to embrace and participate in this type of content. How many young girls are waiting until they hit 18 so they can finally open an OnlyFans? We would all be ashamed at how low our society has fallen if we still had the capacity to feel shame.
Unfortunately, they may have put more into other rounds. Who makes these decisions? Considering crypto is so new is there even someone expert-level enough to advise a pension?
A user who reuploads without knowing should be held to the same standard as a sexual predator uploading without consent with intent to harm?
I'm no foundry insider, but in other forms of manufacturing it's not entirely uncommon to sell slack time on your lines where you have tiny amounts of capacity unused by other contracts on an as-available basis. Yes, I'm suggesting their manufacturing may be the contract foundry equivalent of flying on standby.
OP is likely referring to the current government using emergency powers to order banks to freeze the accounts of protestors. The government has also (re-) introduced legislation to require platforms to regulate social media posts, as well as taken several other positions the perceived wisdom of which depends greatly on one's politics.
That's nice when you write it down, but the whole thing is much grayer than that. Consent isn't necessarily as clear as that, especially when you have 5-6 men in a room with a single woman who is being filmed. How do you stop coercion then? How do prove consent?

There are stories on both sides. Some porn stars say they will quite easily make informed decisions in that situation. But I think that is the minority...
Maybe long term trends are but short term there's so much inflation the mortgages aren't a big deal. There's no sign of immigration being slowed down either so I'm not even sure the population will stabilize without something serious happening.
So sex work is only ethical as a side gig? Without your needs being satisfied by some other source, capitalism is inherently coercion. Enforced by the violence of starvation, exposure, or the state.

Basically, unless it is legal to sustainence farm without paying taxes, all employment is selling your body under duress. Being naked only makes the power disparity more obvious.
