Are you defending the position that as a society, we should continue to allow funding the creation of child pornography through means of crypto?

Visa states openly that they weren’t aware of the situation at issue, don’t support child pornography, and have taken steps to avoid supporting it. This isn’t a case of cutting off some “industry”; child pornography is already widely and rightly maligned.

I'll get some heat, but i reached one of my school friend during covid and asked him what he was doing. He had a gig where he was coding snippets of solidity code to create "almost" solid coins, and publish those on the ethereum blockchain. And was paid a lot. Like FAANG level of money, in Europe (UK, it was a bit before Brexit).

Now, i don't understand this particular tech very well, so i might make a mistake, but from what i understood, he was actually creating shitcoins "templates" which could seem seemingly rug pull immune (like wait time before withdrawal? Like i said, i don't know the space very well, it doesn't really interest me), but add a smallish backdoor. His company (it was 2 dev one marketing) then sold those coin template to diverse people and sold installation, formation and support of like six month.

Would his company be targeted by the US gov? it seems like he was enabling scammers while not taking any personnal money from anyone. Wasn't this very sketchy? By the way, i think his company at first wanted to be on the "Wish" market (cheap dropshipped stuff from China) and then sold dropshipping websites template, so i guess this was actually a moral upgrade?
That kinda stuff I guess gets uploaded to any sort of “social media” site, so Facebook, twitter, etc, where do they draw the line of just not accepting payments?
I feel for this woman, But I don't like where this is going.

I highly highly doubt that Visa had any knowledge in this. PornHub may be a big company but they have to be minuscule for a company like Visa.

I really don't want this to turn into a case where payment companies are reluctant to do anything that is mildly controversial and could be turned against them at a later point. Think Pot (which I know many don't do right now thanks to federal laws but hopefully that changes soon), alcohol, other legal adult services, etc etc.

This just feels like the steps towards a more puritanical America. One that looks at sex, porn, and similar things as immoral and "dirty".

Also why Visa? Are they going to go after the bank(s?) that PornHub used to store their money? The banks that customers used when making the payments? The datacenter(s) they used? The ISP that carried the data around?

PornHub? Yes that makes sense. But anything past them just feels like it's grasping at straws.
I still have Meta and Google recruiters hitting me up even though there is a hiring freeze.

Niche enough jobs are still being hired for, and both recruiters repeated the line that there’s a hiring freeze except for “this” position.

I felt special for a second.
I agree, genuinely depressing to think of what is lost from talent being allocated this way.
I would suggest taking MIT's Secret of Life course on EdX. Its taught by Eric Lander who was a key figure in the human genome project and was a mathematician beforehand, so he follows an axiomatic approach that is much different than the way other schools teach biology

Alternatively, Harvard Extension School has some great biology courses you can sign up and get credit for. Though those are mostly for pre-med career changers
Most of my quick one time hack projects involve cleaning up text or gluing different text oriented command line programs together for things that are beyond my shell skills.

For that I still quite often use Perl.
I'm not sure if linking to a talk from 2018 in 2022 for a project that is being actively worked on (a bunch of Python abstractions for xcom were added in 2.0) is fair.
Nestlé France's employees are mostly French, too, as is the case with most multinationals.
Of course, I was being tongue-in-cheek and mostly referring to software engineering.

And I didn't mean to disparage insects nor specialists. Both are incredibly important for the world.
This is something I'm super interested in and have been working on building something for some time.

I work out a lot and dabble in powerlifting / bodybuilding so I try to track my diet and workouts pretty closely. I haven't found any single app / tool that does everything I want it to.

I struggle with meal variety, shopping lists, and making sure N meals fit xyz macros.

I'm working on a tool where you can basically start from a super basic meal plan / grocery list and then expand the meal variety over time.

I'm also working on various methods of workout / goal tracking.

It's pretty far off from something I can release, even in MVP form, but if anybody is interested feel free to shoot me an email and I can add you to my list of potential early access / testers.
Agism can cut both ways so i'll add that i'm 46 and have been continually impressed with the younger people on my teams. Smart, hardworking, and dedicated.

I've learned as much from recent college grads as I have taught them so it's definitely a two way street.
They are all extra-super-expensive. Experience is that second and third of a design cost even more than the first one.
Are you saying people objected to something that didn’t happen?
This is a very interesting idea. In addition to calendar syncing via Google Calendar, it would be great to have calendar and task syncing via CalDAV and notes syncing via IMAP.

It seems reasonable to assume that somewhere out there screwdrivers are being miss used.

>There has to be a line somewhere where a company starts being responsible for knowingly doing business with an entity doing illegal things

Isn't that the point of business licensing? It is weird for the state, courts, and law enforcement to permit a company to operate legally, but hold their business partners to a higher standard.

Visa didn't have any inside info on pornhub that the state and law enforcement didn't have inside
If this is a JS runtime in 100 lines of code, a file with 'node\n' would be a single line JS runtime, just start it with 'sh runtime.sh' and make sure you have the nodejs executable in your path...

Getting owned wise - maybe. Privacy wise - no.

Not all web traffic is HTTPS, way too much of it still isn't. Not everything is HTTP(S) even, some nastiness comes from other protocols. DNS is still rarely encrypted. NTP basically* isn't encrypted. And all those combined allow a lot of privacy-invasive profiling to be done. Without WPA3 public, it's also passive and you have no clue.

The thing is, if you end up in a job that pays this well it’s because you’re either very lucky (and congrats to you) or you’re very passionate. If you’re in the latter category why would you retire when you’re being paid to do what you love?
Decision makers are now starting to openly push for moves to increase unemployment to get wage "inflation" down.

I feel we're about to enter into a situation very similar to the early 90s, and we'll see a wave of pro-austerity politics and a lot of talk about "tightening our belts" -- slashing employee rights and social programs and cutting all kinds of social spending -- which is really about re-instilling labour discipline.

I suspect here in Canada the temporary foreign worker program is about to have the floodgates opened. Employers, especially small businesses, are really not happy about having to pay more than minimum wage, and they're very unhappy about having their authority in the workplace undermined by workers with seemingly excessive bargaining power.

The situation in the US is obviously more complicated by their messed up immigration system.
Of course not, child pornography is strictly within the domain of public schools, until those pesky parents infiltrate the boards.

I recently worked with a 21 year old and I once told her that "I've been releasing bugs since you were in diapers!"
Can't speak for matheusmoreira, but I think Visa should handle payments & law enforcement should handle diddlers. Turning payment processors into an extra-judicial enforcement system on top of the existing one is a mess in so many different ways (jurisdiction, lack of due process, arbitrary enforcement, financial motives, conflict of interest, lack of transparency, etc...).
There are existing obscenity laws that are constitutional. Not all speech is allowed.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller_test

From that
wikipedia page:

—-

The Miller test was developed in the 1973 case Miller v. California.[3] It has three parts:

Whether "the average person, applying contemporary community standards", would find that the work, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest,

Whether the work depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct or excretory functions[4] specifically defined by applicable state law,

Whether the work, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.

The work is considered obscene only if all three conditions are satisfied. (this sentence has “citation needed” though)

I don’t think regular porn fits there, but yeah I am not a lawyer

edit: reading more about that case, it was actually directly about porn, and the decision was directly used against porn producers.
Wasn't this kind of bug part of the reasoning to make scp use stfp in the background, instead of using its own scp protocol?

Do you want the app to be able to tell when your ingredients are likely to run out? The creation of a shopping list minus pre-existing ingredients seems to be the trouble spot there.
I’m a lazy sysadim at home, here’s what I do.

I run proxmox on my server at home and provision with VM images, like we did in the ancient times. I take regular backups of any extra storage I attach.

I can restore any individual box in an hour or two. It’s no high-availability but it’s good enough for home.

I also have an image for docker-compose like the sibling comment and run anything that “just works” in docker that way.

Someday I might write some lazy terraform to better separate the concerns of VMs and infrastructure, but it’s not a priority.

Proxmox is, in the scheme of things, pretty easy to use. If you can manage instances and images on a VPS you’re most of the way there.

Edit: I also have half a dozen shell scripts that do some basic setup things. These would be replaced by terraform if I ever get around to that.
In most job ads, "full stack" means, "we don't want to pay for a full team so you'll have to do everything."

You have the misfortune of being a generalist in a world that does not value generalists. Best bet is to look for a job in one area you like, then continue to help out wherever needed. This is probably easier at a startup where roles have not yet hardened.

Good luck!
If you have some producers that aren't "pulling their weight" then that just means you have others that are pulling 2x+ and still only making a fraction of the actual value they provide.

I'll be the first to agree that FAANG and friends have ridiculous overhead and way more engineers than I think is necessary but these companies are making money hand over fist. If we are looking for fat to cut I'd start with management/execs in most cases.
This is the same strategy as used by vague supposed "anti traficking" laws and such. These do absolutely nothing against actual trafficking of course, but they create lots of fear and doubt around having any business relationship with someone who might be a sex worker. This leads to regular occurrences of things like people who are e.g. just running an onlyfans account on the side getting cut off from companies or evicted by their landlord. Because sex work might be "trafficking" and if it's trafficking, you might be held responsible for renting to them or providing them services, so it's safer to just blanket cut them off. Which is, of course, the goal.
You think the Web still isn't full of people letting their freak flags fly?

You can still see this on twitch, YT, tiktok, etc. Just like Geocities represents amateur or even naive web development/web design, there are the same types of people trying to create video content. Even Twitter (including the "weird Twitter" genre of tweets) and other social media sites are full of amateur commentators, writers, comedians, musicians, etc.

Web development/web design, including the tools and techniques available to the hobbyist has just gotten much more mature. People no longer feel like a kid in the candy store in terms of adding blinking text and rotating gifs, and tutorial websites are no longer showing these examples.
I've witnessed quite a lot of them using IR-based beacons installed on the ceiling, as well as a few of them that use an expansion slot on certain Cisco APs to piggyback a transmitter to change tags.

If you said "a JavaScript distribution" instead of runtime I think it would be clearer.

If you're struggling to find talent anywhere, why not hire in Poland?

As a Polish engineer, we all know that companies are struggling to hire anyone. If you think you can hire a local instead of me for the same money, good luck. From my perspective, if I'm delivering the same value as someone from another country I should not be paid less. My cost of living is my own business, whether it's the lease on a car, the number of kids I have or, in this case, the country I choose to live in.

Part of the hiring in cheaper countries is the possibility to exploit the wealth disparity and cut costs, sure. But in case of remote IT jobs, IME it's more of a fact that companies can't find anyone so they'll hire from anywhere, including cheaper countries. Doesn't mean that the employees should let themselves be played though, it's a seller's market after all (for now).

I worked at a Helpdesk for 3/4 years. I remember afternoon walks around the compound where I was crying my eyes out.

I really hated the fact that we didn't get the needed time to fix problems. I was only allowed to file calls and move on to the next incoming phone call.

Later I became an application manager, and I was basically fixing my own calls (and others' too) and felt 10x better about it.

Not taking stuff too personal is basically what I wasn't good at.

Just put everything in a warehouse( via fivetran or some such thing) and just use DBT.

Use airflow as cron runner for dbt.

If you don't need realtime metrics, this formula works way better than convoluted airflow dags.
I'm similar, so when I go back to the store its to pick up what looks fresh, and use that in conjunction with what I have in the pantry or freezer. But I grew up where it wasn't possible to shop every day like you can in a city, so cooking must be a survival skill learnt under certain conditions?

Do you think different companies at different stages have different biases? mojuba's comment that age discrimination is initially investor driven might no longer apply at a fortune 500 company. Or perhaps other cultural factors (e.g. about the industry/domain) pull in a different direction?
Yeah, the Heinlein quote is pretty awful anywhere, and definitely not relevant here, given its original context.

Even a generalist full-stack developer (which I, too, am) is still specialized to tech work. Heinlein's "real man" is effectively impossible in the modern world, and reeks of a particular kind of "rugged individualist" prejudice.
It could also reveal information about your system that could be used for exploiting. E.g. you have a package installed that can be used for privilege escalation once compromised.

Not to mention the additional possibility of exploiting apt itself vs. having to exploit the TLS stack (which goes trough a lot more scrutiny).
Could also "Bookmark All Tabs" and then export your bookmark list.

Point is, even if everything they allege is true, I still think it's ludicrous that the payment processor could be held liable.

Mindgeek should definitely be liable, but this is classic "lawyers looking for deep pockets". Why not also have the company that made the camera that recorded the video be liable? Why not the ISP that served the content? Heck, should the Federal Reserve be liable for a crime every time someone pays in cash?
> Some also noted that the term has a different meaning in the Black community, commonly used to mean "go crazy" in African American English, or African American Vernacular English (AAVE).

This should have ended the whole debate but somehow didn't. You don't need much critical thinking ability to figure out that "spaz" was not referring to disabled people in this case.
they're my favorite type of colleague to work with, they KNOW THINGS, they have experience, they have war-stories

They can be. And when they're great they're GREAT! However I've also worked with people who can tell fantastic stories about punch cards and LISP machines, but also haven't picked up any new skills since the late 90s and have no idea what has happened in the industry in the past 10 years.

To be fair to the author, this project shows how to do IO with the wrapper. It binds filesystem and web request APIs, so they work. This doesn't just evaluate pure JavaScript functions using Deno.
