Pornhub execs can go to jail if they don't remove stuff that is illegal and prevent sex trafficking on their site. Facilitating and distribution itself is a crime. PH isn't a government prosecutor they have error on the side of caution and due process is right you have with the government not a private business.
The law tells them who they can do business with, and they comply. That's not really a guise, unless me driving the speed limit is also a guise... If there's any challenge here, it's that such law restricts card networks' freedom of association. Which the US only has as an extension to freedom of speech... So I'm not sure that challenge would work, when the entire point is that certain forms of speech are what's being limited.

> Afghanistan was just a place they could safely drop a lot of expensive bombs

Afghanistan is literally where Al-Quaeda was based. It wasn't even the US alone - NATO allies also joined the war in Afghanistan because of the obvious connection with 9-11.
It's not more humane, the entire process in europe is extremely "credential" based. Good luck getting any type of SWE interview in france without at least a good degree. And if you aren't from a "grande école" you will never get above team lead no matter how competent you are.

It's not even a glass ceiling, it's a full on concrete slab over your head. Management is completely sealed off depending on your Alma mater.

So yeah sure, the interview process is relaxed and gentle because you basically wouldn't even be given a chance if your education/credentials weren't enough for a given position/salary .

At least the American way gives you a chance to get your feet through the door at almost any level. That's why the interviews are harder, you get a chance to get a really high paying job without having to go to say, Polytechnique Paris. Obviously graduating from Stanford will probably help you a looot still, and your Alma Mater... matters. But you can get by just fine with a diploma from a state university, it doesn't completely shut you off from those very high end jobs. And if you don't want those SV-tier jobs and aim for something less competitive, the interview process is usually just as "humane" and laid back as in europe.

I don't know about the rest of europe but I don't think americans realize how "hierarchically stiff" France is. Like sure you won't get to leetcode for a 300k job, but that's because you won't even make it past the CV screening.
> That sounds more like a code review issue -- `blob` would've been an appropriate storage type in that case.

No, it was supposed to be a short text field. Not an infinite storage endpoint!
They'll get sales just for the meme name lol, brilliant
All transfer across state lines must go through an FFL and a NICS check by law. The only sale/transfer allowed without a NICS check is between two residents of the same state when the seller has no reason to believe or suspect that the purchaser is prohibited. Realistically that leaves a very narrow window of purchases that are unlawful but the seller has plausible deniability.
> at least on those 2 (major) websites

So... you didn't stop it. You only stopped it on a couple websites by making all content creators to provide identity verification

The only way to actually stop it is completely remove anonymity from the internet. Which is a nightmare scenario for many reasons. But it seems to be the current direction we're going.
True, but in my app's case each webhook ends up making a few dozen Slack API calls.

In any case the free tier will definitely allow you to handle enough traffic to figure out if you've got a viable business model, which I guess is the point.
As I understand it Mindgeek (Pornhub) makes about half their money from ads, but they are easily the largest advertiser in the industry. It seems likely that subscriptions/purchases still represent the majority of porn income.
That's thinking outside the box! xD

What kind of question is that? We've shipped our deliverables.

It may be surprising to you, but grainy and awkward video of coworkers in zoom shirts looking at their other monitor is not actually required for people to get things done.
I haven't lost track of anything. You asked a question and I replied to that.

As far as your rhetorical device, I'm sorry but theft isn't the only way firearms get into that market.

You're trying to attribute arguments to me that I never made, and I'd appreciate it if you'd stop.

Thanks.
Yes, but Stripe or Paypal adhere to their rules. Visa and MC are the reason those processors don't allow high risk businesses.

For example, OnlyFans last year nearly banned adult content because their processor was going to drop them. Visa/MC were blamed for that, but they ended up making an exception. If you go out to build an OnlyFans alternative, you won't get a processor.

The euro is most certainly not hundreds of years old, and isn't that much older than Bitcoin.
New is pretty context dependent. Money is literally older than history. That sets up a lot of context by itself, and further the fact that it's so important means people, governments and institutions are pretty conservative (in the slow to adopt change sense) about it. Banks have only recently reached infrastructure status in that context - and only in well developed nations. Credit cards are still new in that context (and it shows). The 14 years of bitcoin is basically embryonic in terms of "money tech".

I think, it is a troll. An art project of trolling people into thinking about how they relate to food, how mining and resource extraction works and the human toll of it, etc. As another commenter said said "this seems like an exercise in throwing out conventional thinking in order to be receptive to better alternatives."
The lack of context make the quote hard to understand. Why is she talking about hands and why is she calling him a pilgrim? In context it makes much more sense. The verse is an answer to Romeos pick-up line.
> You should take a few steps to make sure the buyer is legit. Ask to see a concealed carry permit or FOID card.

I've known people who buy and sell quite a few guns, and even though there was no legal requirement for them to do so, this was their policy. Show them a matching permit to acquire or carry permit and driver's license, or they wouldn't sell a gun. Nothing was written down, but if you weren't willing to show matching paperwork and an ID, they wouldn't sell it to you. And I think in a few cases, if the buyer was being unusually squirrely and evasive, they didn't even get that far.

Very, very few gun owners have any desire to sell guns to prohibited persons.
i'd would recommend using a prebuilt docker image or rebuilding it to fit your needs. For my setup i am maintaining my own image with tini init system and some minor added scripts.
I don't buy that. The Euro was conceived in 1992 and constituted a radical shift in international monetary policy; it wasn't fully rolled out until 2002.

That's 10 years compared to Bitcoin's 14, with arguably far more in concrete financial activity (and quality of life) to show for it.
tabs should be the default for more than just accessibility. there’s less characters, people can customize indentation locally, and you can avoid having a single open paren on a line by just tanning after it. idk why spaces became the default in the first place.

But also, a screen reader should be able to automatically infer convert spaces to tabs in code anyways.
I always thought Action! was very crisply tailored to these small systems. It turns out to have been a port of a language called Micro-SPL from the Xerox Alto that (originally) targeted the Alto microcode directly.

Atalan and Plasma look nice.
I think they means overall? Like in the medium future. Based off standard and sometimes specific pay bumps.

Otherwise the line is saying every one can get a 50% pay bump in the next year. Doesn’t make sense.
Doesn't seem like the most obvious explanation, considering you don't have either of your genetics on hand and have existed in different environments since you were zygotes.

All the other stuff (environment, diet, mother's diet… even training) is more likely to be it because it happened more recently.

Also, you don't become a professional runner because you're the world's best at running. You become a runner because you're not even better at something else. That's called "comparative advantage".
At some point when 50% of the world uses your service the rules must change.

I would personally call telegram/viber/whatsapp/et al. groups/chats/channels "dark web", since information is not indexed there and is basically decaying over time. In about a decade or decade and a half ago, forums flourished, it was really easy to find and share relevant information with relevant group of interested people. I particularly was interested in car's DIY service & retrofit topics. Unfortunately everything is mostly in messengers these days, which won users by offering real-time responses, but providing no real way of topic sorting or proper history. Duplicates of questions and answers of different topics and threads mixed together into an information garbage bin.
This reminds me of alt.sex.stories with disclaimers like "all events in this erotic story take place on a planet where 1 year in the story = 100 earth years." So the step-dad in the story is merely hanging out with a 1,700-year-old babysitter thus it's not lewd at all.
We don't need electro fuels because we want to keep existing ICE vehicles, but rather because energy density is hugely important for fuels -- especially for things like airplanes, which rely on high-density energy sources in order to function. The comparison to direct "solar" power isn't fair; rather, electro fuels should be compared to other energy storage solutions, such as batteries, which have a much lower energy density than fossil fuels.
Sure that could happen, but I'd hope there's enough competition in crypto payment processing that keeps them honest. Visa and MC have too big of a strong hold right now.
1) When you say built automation to spin up clusters in AKS, what did you use and what entry point you used to spin up those cluster? E.g: Did you have a terraform template that was used through cli?

It's pretty much all ARM templates and AzDO pipelines. No Terraform. We're only just now starting to go down the path of evaluating Terraform to become part of our automation stack.

2) How were the Helm files deployed? Did you have a CD pipeline that deployed helm on every code commit?

Git repos in AzDO and AzDO pipelines. I don't know if any teams are deploying with every single commit or not, but there's definitely a set of AzDO pipelines for building the code, pushing the images to DTR (or ACR) repos, and running the Helm deployment.

3) When you said iterating on the app directly on AKS, what was the iteration? Is the scope, you had an existing app and you were iteratively porting the code base?

I don't know how to answer that. It was a very ad-hoc, "figuring it out as we go" kind of thing.

On a meta level, how many of your experience you and your team preferred a UI/UX experience for?

I'm not sure. I know there are people who do like going into the portal and doing stuff, but it's not my cup of tea. And my role was on a team that provided supporting services in a kind of "cross-cutting concerns" sense, not a team that owned a specific user-facing application. So I don't have complete visibility into how all the various AppDev teams chose to do certain things.

For creating helm charts, did you feel like a portal experience would have made it easier or did existing documentation work for you?

For us, we basically had a small group of people who developed the first series of Helm charts, and published them. Once that existed, I think a lot of other teams just took those artifacts and used them as a template and modified them to suit their project.

I know the current Supreme Court of the US is grossly biased in their decisions on such questions so it’s not clear what organization in the US would actually be capable of enforcing this fairly.
> What, exactly is the alternative?

A simple solution is to let the government do the blacklisting, and payment providers only need to (1) comply with the blacklist, (2) report suspicious activity, same as today. It would be a serious offense for companies to keep their own moral blacklists.

> Even if there were a million different credit card companies [...], they would still be bound by the same requirements.

Under monopolistic market conditions, there's way less incentive to saturate all corners of the market. Just because it didn't pass VISAs risk/reward calculation doesn't mean that other companies would come to the same conclusion. It's hard to give an exact prediction, but generally when monopolies/oligopolies go away the market situation improves for all other parties.

This is a good summary. Edge Functions bring another set of trade-offs into the mix:

- Startup-time so fast that if you hit a "cold start" it is still fast enough from a human perception (often <30ms attributable to startup)

- Global by default

- Cheaper on a per invocation

- No limits on concurrent invocations

BUT

- Restricted API set, no node.js API support like Buffers or filesystem access

- Smaller max binary size

- Lower available CPU quota per request

- Lower max RAM usage

- Lower CPU-
I've done that test in a real study, I scored perfectly. As long as you have reasonable understanding of the limitations of your own memory then you wont over or under estimate the accuracy of it, this isn't particularly hard to do for some people.

Consider a certificate that, let's say, is pretty useless, just meant learning some software terms by heart for a short while and then forgetting.

If a candidate includes it on his/her CV, this can give the impression that s/he might not have realized that it's useless. Which can make a slightly bad impression

I suppose it depends a bit randomly on who happens to interpret the CV
I'd say, follow the advice abhv posted. They are better-placed in the University system, and so I think their advice applies better than mine.
Ultimately, the DA and a jury need to make that determination. Usually it's pretty obvious what the intent is.
I'm not talking about all validation, I'm talking about a length constraint on a string (that isn't something like a US state, which should be a two-character field) -- already a pretty uncommon thing. At work, our codebase has 975 instances of a column storing a text value, and the length is material only in a very small handful of those.
That may be true and I'm not arguing that it isn't, but at least where I've come to learn about it more concretely happening, it's always been the result of things like Operation Choke Point[1] or Redlining[2] which were pressure campaigns by the governments who regulate the banks. In the case of the former, it was Elizabeth Warren and the CFPB, while the latter was the FHA working through the FHLBB.

Banks are so inherently risk averse that even the most stalwart of them is likely to submit to even regulatory-coercive overtones, which effectively makes them arms of the government, but with enough "by proxy" to leap around constitutional hurdles.

They are bad interviewers who should not be interviewing technical candidates if they fall for any such scheme, which is impractical and unrealistic in practice. I don't care about their broken english, I care about their technical competency. I'm sorry, but they aren't going to dupe me out of my expertise, unless they are actual software developers. But even an actual developer with the right experience could steal anything you give them access to. If you have concern about that, then you hire domestic and you require ID verification and you avoid contractors, so you know that you can at least prosecute them if they do.

Any company who is hiring off the internet, internationally, on the basis of a deepfake and a resume and is granting them elevated access to client PII on day one deserves to be exploited and deserves to be sued by their clients.

sorry to disappoint, but this article glosses over a pretty significant constraint that prevents this from being long-term storage at all: storing the thermal energy from the compression process.

storing thermal energy over long periods of time is a pretty lossy process, and that 75% efficiency number will be out the window if one tried to use this system for seasonal storage. this system fills the same space as battery storage, which it is also marketed for (over night storage for solar power).

here is a more detailed post on the matter: https://www.rechargenews.com/energy-transition/new-co2-batte...

citing from this: "In Energy Dome’s system, carbon dioxide is compressed at a pressure of 60 bar which heats the gas to 300°C liquid. The heat is then extracted and stored in “bricks” made of steel shot and quartzite for later use, cooling down the CO2 to an ambient temperature. The gas is then condensed into liquid form and stored in carbon-steel tanks.

‘Our lithium-ion battery will have double the energy density of standard Li-ion for same price’

When electricity is required, the liquid CO2 is run through an evaporator to turn it back to a pressurised gas, which is then warmed up back to 290-300°C causing the stored heat."
Businesses are forced to serve customers everyday - from anti-discrimination laws to universal service for phone companies. There is also argument that oligopoly should not de-facto control payments and work as moral police.
“limiting purchases”, more like “limiting panic buying causing shortages”. You can still purchase birth control, unless you need more than 3 packages per week.
so which side are you arguing here - credit card companies can decide who they want to provide services for even if they decide not to service legal companies or that they should be forced to service legal companies?
I feel like that’s where you separate the pre-cloud and post-cloud devs.

It’s not hard to imagine a dev being brought up 5 years ago into a React world, with JS in the backend and something like Vercel or Netlify to deploy their app.

Someone like that might be entirely uncomfortable when dumped into a plain old Linux server, and would definitely take longer than 40 minutes to even get their head wrapped around what’s going on.

That’s not a knock on them - they get their job done, and to the business that’s all that matters. But yeah, just trying to, I don’t even know, empathise? Try to understand? Who knows. It’s just a different world now.
