Meh. Maybe this would have been a bigger deal when birth control was difficult to acquire, but the price has dropped so drastically it’s practically free these days. Also, I thought the narrative was that High Schoolers were having less sex than ever anyway.

I don’t know the details around this, but it seems like it would be near impossible to get 100% ethical sourcing, because no matter how good your process of vetting suppliers is, at Starbucks scale, you’re going to get fraud. A shady supplier just needs to bribe or blackmail one of your procurement staff to look the other way.

He’ll be watching his back in prison, he’s got access to billions of dollars — or, at least, is perceived to. He has wronged a lot of people, too. Also, prison is a one way street: if he stays on the run, and some day things do get to the point where he would feel safer in prison, he could hand himself in. Once he’s in prison, he has no choice left.

Just in case anyone's not aware, this is the account of notorious hacker-cum-racist Weev, an actual, honest-to-goodness, self-admitted neo-nazi, who emerged from jail with a massive swastika tattoo on his chest.

I'll be playing the world's smallest violin for you tonight.

@dang I don't know why you haven't banned this piece of human waste.

edit: I've been flagged for this and yet - the actual neo nazi who supported Anders Breivik killing children continues to post. Is it the official position of Y Combinator that neo nazis who support terrorism are welcome to post here?

UWP is deprecated. WinUI version 3 is now recommended. At least with the .NET API, file saving now works like a normal Win32 app from a programmer's perspective.

They pulled a bunch of models out of their ass in pretty short time so I'm sure their spend on R&D and tooling is astronomical. I'm not surprised they're not profitable at this point. Those product lines have to actually get produced for awhile to be in the black.
Can you elaborate? I’m assuming things go wrong when people don’t get enough sleep but I’m otherwise unaware of the dangers of changing the clocks.
My analysis is limited to tech people.

For the rest of the world, while some might be excited by what you describe (and it that works for them, that's great!), I believe in general the interpretation is far simpler: me like shiny.
"Time-between-requests would seem reasonable except that bots ... I suspect you may get some false positives."

Solid point.

"Perhaps you could operate this in a log-only passive mode for a while to log what would have been blocked?"

I can and will. This seems to be the safest way forward.

"The same applies to malicious bots. They can be crawling hundreds of sites at the same time. There is no way to guarantee your site gets the same threads and resources by the bots. Some of them are using pools of LTE modems so even their IP's will be spread across a large CIDR block."

This is very true. Best case scenario: you block all malicious bots... but then they evolve. I'm viewing this from a resource efficiency perspective. I want to limit the cost of automated hits.

"That said, if you specify a crawl delay of 2 seconds in robots.txt and the bots do not obey this then perhaps it may be worth blocking them."

Which makes this a great idea. It's simple and dichotomous. All desirable bots will respect this declaration.

"Allowing HTTP/1.1 for the bots that specify the google user-agent will not accommodate their bots that pretend to be Android phones and may result in Google flagging your site as potentially malicious. Some malicious bot tools will also use their user-agent in attempt to bypass authentication on some sites."

Ah, I just realized Googlebot and these "android bots" use 1.1. Wouldn't be a problem otherwise. I'll leave this idea alone for now. Never anger the SERP gods. :D

Edit: It seems Googlebot does not accept the crawl-delay directive. Instead, it needs to be set in Search Console every 90 days.

Haven't finished Mad Men, so I couldn't speak to it. Though I am planning to because it's become a lot more interesting to me as I've grown older compared to when it was new.

As for Game of Thrones, it doesn't fit into my list because the quality of the writing really nosedived, starting in season 5 to my mind, though seasons 6 and 7 is where it took a turn for the drastically worse. And season 8 was a disaster. So it's exactly in the opposite group that's too long to exhaustively list.

I already covered this in my post.

Cars are an easier method to move people and stuff when there are suitable routes, where easier means "the journey will take less time, will require almost no human exertion by those moved, and will likely include weather protection".

Nobody is going to disagree with this (they may raise the objections I did that cars are energetically, materially and environmentally less efficient than other means, but that doesn't invalidate "cars are easier for moving people+stuff").

But that's not running. I will concede that even in English, there are idioms like "Can you run me to town?" meaning "Can you drive me to town?", or "I'm just going to run to the store" meaning "I'm going take a short journey to the store". But this doesn't mean that cars are better at running than humans, it means that the english word run can be used in different ways. And you know exactly which way Lanier meant it.
It's a valley, not a cliff.

When I worked for a large logistics company we’d have a few days a year where we’d go downstairs and shadow someone using our software. It was very informative. The UX people were redesigning workflow to be “easier” and less information dense and the experienced people (who worked mostly on commissions mind you) where very pissed and wanted their hot keys and their at a glance information.

It was very eye opening.

and STDs as well.
This looks very spot on with its clearly articulated goals, principles and methods. It seems very well maintained, has at least three major devs who all seem focused on open source and privacy, and has a lot of eyes on it (stars and forks).

I was hoping a project like this exists. Thank you!

Great way to make the point that as people get overly-comfortable with trusting these AI tools, the inevitable outcome is absolute chaos and destruction.
An anecdotal comment on screens: When I got my first flat-screen HD TV, and watched actual HD content on it, I had a visceral reaction to the higher resolution. I could remember seeing the lines/pores on people's faces, and it was honestly jarring. I almost plugged my old tube TV back in.
> I do not think that is a problem of the gaming industry as entertainment, because it is not a videogame, its a Skinner Machine with a couple mini games to get the conditioning going.

Gacha mechanics and its ilk are everywhere, from Battlefield to Diablo to Overwatch, etc. Most egregious example probably being Genshin Impact.

> But it did not affect their scores, reputation or sales. Same as cyberpunk 2077

Sure because rest of the game was amazing, but not even CP2077 escaped reviewers wrath. It got panned for poor perf and its user score on metacritic is justifiably low.
How is not that a thing already ? Especially in California, isn't it supposed to be a "progressive state" ? As a french person, the US seems totally bonkers about everything related to pregnancies and sex in general.
The general rule of thumb, is that, if it's nonviolent, and less than ten years, it's Camp Cupcake (minimum security -no walls).

Relying on birth control pills and other primarily woman-oriented techniques leaves 100% of the downsides to the woman (from health risks to emotional challenges and beyond). Comparatively, a condom has barely any downside for anyone involved.
Are car parts car parts? Not according to an auto-mechanics, but according to the laymen. A radiator is not a battery or an engine. Are games games? Not according to a game theorist, but according to the the laymen. A game is not a play or a history.

This isn't an accident of language. An example of an actual accident of language would be giving tanks instead of giving thanks.

Are runners runners? Yes, according to you. A walker is a runner is a missile is a bowling ball rolling between places is light moving through a medium. No, according to a fitness coach, because a runner is not a tank is not a plane. When they say that a person should take up running they don't mean the person should melt down their body in a furnace and sprinkle their atoms into metal which is then pressed into iron plates that are attached to a tank which will then go running.

Sometimes we need to be careful in language. For example, we probably don't want to confuse the process of being incinerated and pressed into iron plates with the process of a human exercising their muscles. The choice to be careful in this way is not an accident of language. It is a very deliberate thing when, for example, John Von Nuemann carefully explains why he thinks the laymen use of the word game has perilous impact on our ability to think about the field of game theory which he starts in his book about the same.

I think you should make your point so as to disprove Nuemann, not pick on the straw man of running. Or you should argue against the use of the term radiator instead of car parts. It will better highlight your fallacy, because with running I have to make your position seem much more farcial then it is. We do gain something from thinking imprecisely. We gain speed. That can really get our thoughts running, so long as we don't trip up, but it calls to attention that when someone chooses to stop running due to the claim that the terrain isn't runnable, the correct response is not to tell them that running is accidental property. It is to be careful as you move over the more complicated terrain. Otherwise you might be incinerating yourself without noticing your error.
You must have a lot more faith in technical ability of the average TikTok user than I do :) I think they'll move to Instagram Reels.
It's at least $1 per condom (if buying last minute, at a convenience store) and requires going out of the way to get them. As another comment noted, if having a condom wasn't a signal of intention then I think it would help with usage.
You are simply, flat-out, wrong.

You do NOT need a way for authors to get paid and this idea is already thoroughly disproven. Wikipedia gets written. Academic articles get written, fan-fiction gets written.

Now we can discuss particulars about volume and quality and distribution. But we already see that a GREAT DEAL of EXCELLENT KNOWLEDGE has been created, written and distributed without strong, or occasionally ANY, expectation of "payment."

> Merely changing the card number wont work because bank updates vendors with the new card. I've asked but they they have to update vendors, i don't understand why though.

Do they? My bank recently decided to send me a new CC for no clear reason (old one had like two years left to expiry) and without my asking for it, and it's been a huge pain in the ass because seemingly nothing updated automatically.
>temporarily giving someone currency that they eventually give back to you is more or less the definition of a loan... And Coinbase is doing the work of abstracting that process into a single instrument (Coinbase earn)? Because that’s securitization.

This is not a specific enough definition. I don't think my checking account is a security, despite the fact that I am loaning my bank money which they eventually give back.
I think we are missing the forest the trees. The issue is not that they took action. The issue is that this action was even possible and an option to begin with.

If there was ever an argument for an analog library, this is it.
Most papers aren't free. Sometimes the author(s) will make a preprint or something similar available somewhere but that's not always the case. The expensive books also have a lot of context that's often removed from the papers because it's assumed known by the audience.

I have a feeling that a government run payment system would also forbid illegal activity (eg laundering, etc). I agree that a private payments network is not ideal but the question at hand is how should transactions facilitating illegal activity be handled?

To be clear I’m not passing a moral judgement on sex work - just pointing out the fact that it’s presently illegal in many forms and jurisdictions and that fact is relevant.

Amazon have said that in the future if this happens again they will not remove the books from customer devices.

https://mashable.com/archive/amazon-remote-delete

> The statement, from Amazon's Drew Herdener, reads:

> These books were added to our catalog using our self-service platform by a third-party who did not have the rights to the books...When we were notified of this by the rights holder, we removed the illegal copies from our systems and from customers' devices, and refunded customers....We are changing our systems so that in the future we will not remove books from customers' devices in these circumstances.

My Kindle is jail broken because I prefere using KOReader over Amazons own reader software. But even before it was jail broken if I ever brought books from Amazon I would use the "Download book to your computer" function and then run it though the DeDRM plugin for Calibre. https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools

That way even if Amazon decide to no longer host the book (so you can't redownload them) or go back on their word about not remotely removing content I still have a DRM Free copy of the content I can put on the book. However it is a shame we as consumers have to go though these steps, our other option is to buy content from store that do not apply DRM to the books, but that as decision that is basically forced by the publishers.
I mean it is possible that right wing judges like Matthew Kacsmaryk in Texas will try to ban birth control nationally.

That's so freaky to think about! I don't have kids but I've noticed a lot of the same things in myself. If I turn the display grayscale it's like it instantly loses 80% of its allure, which has me convinced that the bright colors are a huge part of why these devices are so mesmerizing to our lizard brains. I'd imagine that that has an extra strong pull for little kids who are already drawn to bright colors!

You could ask and I will gladly tell you who I was thinking of. I was thinking of Bezos. Gates is actually a good example I had in mind. This is why I said "If _some_ of the billionaires of today".

> was paid by a banking insurance pool, not tax payers.

Who do you think will pay the increased fees the banks will have to replenish their insurance pool?

As another example, in 2008 it was not a bank insurance pool.

I am open to being wrong, and do not pretend otherwise, but as I said, since I do not enjoy being talked in the tone you are using I will walk the walk, and stop being part of this conversation.
Not a troll, just someone whose life experience leads to the conclusion that people trying to ban "pornography" in the United States are motivated almost exclusively by Christian religious motivations. Especially the ones who are demanding legal solutions that will be a detriment to the freedom of everyone.

Furthermore, the notion of the state forcing computer makers to inspect for and block certain content dovetails nicely (if one's goal is the eradication of queer people in the public sphere) with states prohibiting the discussion of queer identities.
Have you seen the GPT4 demo? A few interesting things that make it seem much more than an occasional text editor replacement. One was having it write an entire program. It needed a few prompts to fix some bugs it had, but it worked. The program was then used for the rest of the demo. The program even had an obscure bug that it solved by having the demo-er paste the error + the entire docs page. The second demo was having it write a html page based on a picture drawing on a napkin of a website, and then running the html.

It's honestly pretty impressive. I already use chatgpt a lot (doing a lot of google sheets scripting/formula stuff and the docs + syntax are horrendous) and chatgpt helps me find the correct syntax much faster than I'd otherwise be able to
I've had some eye-opening moments where I went back to music I listened to growing up and was revolted with myself when I actually read through the lyrics and thought about what they meant. It really is like there is something like a spell that comes over you when listening to certain music that opens you up to hearing and helping propagate messages you wouldn't otherwise.

The internet irony culture uses the same mechanism of passing the message off as "only a joke". But the fact is that even if you say that, there is only so far words can be divorced from their meanings. And even if the network that propagates them originally is just doing it ironically, eventually someone will take the message seriously. There is a quote I wish I could remember along the lines of "what the father accepts as a lie, the son will accept as a truth".
True, I used to date a scorpio.

This rings so true. As a designer it's invaluable to have teammates with domain expertise—they have a much better idea about customer pain points. Honestly, they can usually articulate the problems better than customers can in interviews.

Where I work it's not uncommon for people to come into engineering through support > support engineering > software engineering.

Quality of life between the two is pretty darn close, and probably leans better towards France most of the time. GDP per capita is higher in the US, so Americans can have more stuff, but that's hardly an indication of a happy life. Obesity in America is 40%, and this leads to a host of other healthcare issues...which the healthcare system poorly addresses, either putting patients in massive debt or into drug loops.
One of the most nefarious instances of this I have seen is a "online mental health counseling" startup that was charging a non-trivial monthly recurring fee, even though it did not have any available appointments with a professional in the coming month. I had to call and haggle for half an hour on behalf of someone who signed up for the app, and only after putting in their credit card information was shown that there are no appointments.

Shame on the "startup", and absolutely disgusting that we as a civilized country allow scams targeted towards a vulnerable population to happen quite legally.
