> Things like OnlyFans, Chaturbate, and the Pornhub shift to user-made content are resulting in more money and control for creators

How do you know that the person you see on the screen is getting the money, and someone else isn't controlling them and cashing in? As you say, it's a very unregulated industry; performers get negative consideration from 'mainstream' institutions, from banks to lawyers to courts to legislators and regulators.
Any early-stage founders with kiddos want to start a group together?
Servers down with a diaper blow-out on the side? Been there.

Being an early-stage founder can be a wild ride. And for me, with two kids on top of that, it feels like insane mode. Personally, I don’t know many other people in the same boat, but really wish that I did.

I’m trying to find a small group of founder+parents open to meeting regularly to connect and share how things are really going. Could be related to work, life, whatever since it all blends together.

If you’re interested, please get in touch here: https://bit.ly/founders-w-kiddos

I’m mainly using the survey to make sure folks are founders, parents, and have a few times that might work for them.

I imagine falling over and/or yeeting a blade-tip is about the worst thing they're going to do, right? I've know they can burn, but I don't think they explode. What's literally the worst that could happen?

Sometimes this is just true though, when it's not so niche. If the "narrowed down" stack is still to big to deal with, it's a bit of a crapshoot.

Yes, but opposite conclusion.

If I were the author I'd never do this because I would want an exit and this strategy + twitter thread wildly complicates any potential exit.

Just because a message is sent from a noreply doesn’t mean it wasn’t manually composed and sent. I would expect rejection letters to come from such an address even if they are manually typed up.
His job was to debug the program though, so wouldn't that literally be all about poking around holes?

His job was to solve a problem with a database's log files. He found another second database. "Maybe this second database is causing duplicate log files?" so he goes in and looks.

It makes sense to me. Based on the german article: (machine translated to english)

> The software of Modern Solution had a database of the defendant's customer "fully littered with log reports," says the defence lawyer. His client was then given the order from his customer to solve this problem.

> The defendant then determined that the software from Modern Solution established a MySQL connection over the Internet to the servers of the Gladbeck company. ...the defendant has first assumed that the software on his customer's server will connect to a Modem Solution database that was only intended for his customer and contained only his data. From the read-out database name, this sounded quite plausible.

> However, the defendant quickly discovered that the corresponding database contained much more information. It later turned out that the data here was included Modern Solutions customers and from all end customers whose online shops were included. According to his own statement, the defendant had directly separated the database connection when he discovered that he had access to other customers' data.

> the programmer contacted the affected company with the help of a tech blogger, which then closed the security gap and displayed the programmer at the police.
This is talking about energy projects, but I don't see any aspect of jettisoning environmental review. Its about making it more effective and faster, which certainly doesn't mean weakening.

Artists make public portfolios to find work and get jobs. Being available to view publicly is not the same thing as the artist giving you permission to do whatever you want with their work. In fact, I saw a blurb under one of these posts from an artist that explicitly said they did not want their work used in any ai training, earlier today.

The problem that you're ignoring is that these models can substitute for the product these artists were making. Why go to a particular artist when you can train an AI model on their public portfolio and reproduce their style? That's the argument that this isn't fair use, it damages the market and reputation of the original artist.

> But when architects try to design apartments with two or more bedrooms, the apartments balloon in size, since every 10-foot-wide bedroom ends up coming with 30 or more feet in unit depth. Try to add a single 120-square foot bedroom and you’ll end up having to add another 180 square feet on top that you need to fill some other way—probably with walk-in closets and en-suite bathrooms, adding the expense of more plumbing, fixtures, and tiles.

Can any architects say whether that's absolutely true, within the constraints, or are solutions with different desirable properties possible?

Reason I'm asking: I've been looking at floorplans and renders for new condo and apartment buildings recently, and I wonder whether some of the decisions in layouts might've been phoned-in, without lots of creative or problem-solving work happening.

(Maybe it's like software, in which brilliant isn't normally demanded, so sometimes the work is approached more like a huge bulk of tediousness to slog through?)

(Or maybe some of the confusing decisions are due to solving larger constraints, like a $1M condo gets an inexplicably badly-positioned kitchen because the $3M condo above takes priority for where pipes run, and they're generally trying to minimize plumbing costs?)
Yes, but I like the other one better.

A Framework for Creating Content as a Developer
> To be an excellent developer you need to score extremely high in both agreeability and conscientious so that you are really good with the details and willing to go above and beyond to build a more durable product. To be a good leader you need to push that agreeability way down so that you build a lust for confrontation with high empathy. Good leaders really tear into people to discover why they are failing to perform and how to redeem or remove them. Most developers are exceptionally bad at this.

Wow, this articulates exactly the issue I've had trying to move into leadership positions. Thank you for putting it into words

...I think you missed the point. OAI/MS can sue the author or at least cut off API access. If that happens, the fact that OAI is under fire from NYT doesn't somehow obviate the author's need to cover some massive legal bills for the foreseeable future.

The NYT case could take years. In the meantime OAI could choose to go after ToS violators.

The legal system can accommodate more than one unresolved court case at a time. We don't like put a semaphore on related cases or anything like that. (Or, sometimes we do, but guess who you need to hire for many many billable hours to make that happen in your case?).

So, the legal system can accommodate the NYT case against OAI and an OAI case against the author. The operative question is: can the author's pocketbook also accommodate?

(Or, more to the point, can the author accommodate losing access to gpt4? What happens when he wants to launch a new feature or pivot to a new product?)
What's your point? People have been convicted for doing things with actual APIs when prosecutors were able to demonstrate that a reasonable person would have assumed they shouldn't have done those things.
That was entirely her goal. She wanted the company to admit that she was just being laid off for no reason. Instead they tried to make her feel like it was her bad performance. That need to end.
Not a founder, but this is a good idea. I think people get blindsided with how much work kids are and a support group to leg on and share useful strategies sounds great!
Thanks for the downvote but I said most not all. If you look at the news/magazine industry though it has not made a good transition to the internet age. Lots of closures and consolidations with some of the major outlets acquired as almost toys for the rich.

I'm sure things like these are quite common in normal humans. I have a bunch of odd behavioural characteristics too that overlap with mental conditions: clanging, rocking and stimming, and until my mid-20s if I 'touched' something (including stepping on a tile-edge or crack at an angle) on my one side I had to symmetrify with the other side. But my life was fine. I was and am a successful adult with a job and life. Many of these things are probably just the normal variation of the species. I only found out these are named behaviours within the last year. Till then, it was just things I did sometimes or at some time in the past.

I imagine many others are also like this and have single or few such things. It progresses to being a disorder when people can't function, but when they can, it's probably just a trait.

A multi-"salt" magnesium plus some glutathione antioxidant could temporarily calm some of the noise. Look into trans-cranial ultrasound (low power for 30-90 second sessions once or twice a day separated by at least 4 hours) (but this isn't even beyond trials yet), and Earthing which is stepping out barefoot onto the ground). Then vitamin C to recycle the glutathione, protecting it from its breakdown through its job.

All of these therapies would be calming inflammation and oxidative stress (both related to each other and to stray/excess electrical charges in the wrong places or out of control).

The magnesium I would use is "Magnesium Breakthrough" by "BIOptimizers" since it contains a large variety of salts. The bio-availability and especially the preferential uptake into specific organs...of Mg seems to be dependent on form, or salt.

And MIT students, a few years back, invented Magnesium-Threonate is also of therapeutic use as one possible tool, since it increases synapse density and neuroplasticity. Giving the chance of a brain to basically re-wire itself can be helpful when it is not functioning properly.

Lastly, fish oil, not snake oil, is going to help the body make the best membrane-encapsulated neuron bodies so that the brain is shuttling its neurotransmitters (which are basically signaling molecules) in a smooth and balanced functional pattern.

It always helps to be the doctor but if you can't be for lack of time or dont have a naturally discerning mind, then get an opinion from a hormone or sports clinic which is designed to optimize, not a family doctor who wants food on kids' plates rather than competition with supplements. And your kid does need to eat food too, as a base. It might just be that doctors have an inborn instinct to protect their valuable secret knowledge from falling into three wrong hands like a Google algorithm unless you have the right keywords, then you'll be rewarded with the right knowledge. I'd like a conversation of such insights as you might have about this and autism, given the fact that also when I was a child, I felt like I was pretty much just watching the life around me and taking notes, or not developing attention and communicating with kids my age in school or making friends.

If you want your kid to talk more but they have autism, maybe introduce from an interest of their's to a conversational style designed to be technical and teach the vocabulary of the thing that they like learning about.
Good point to highlight that it's really subscription bundles rather than maybe the individual subscriptions some had switched to before.

You could argue that a beehive is a dedicated home that you define for the queen, so the wild in wildlife is already lost.

I'm aware they do the same for birds with tags on their talons which I still feel is unfair as we don't tag humans with barcodes (yet).. maybe by other means but, I dunno.

No, for so many reasons. No, tracking is bad. No, a central organization will not do an equitable job of distributing fees even if it has invasive tracking information. No, a mandatory fee is unacceptable. No, not all sites visited deserve an equal share based solely on visits and bandwidth. No, there is no reasonable automated metric that would allow such division, as any possible metric can be gamed.

The moment something like this were put in place, sites would immediately start gaming the resulting perverse incentives. Sites get more share based on bandwidth? Useless background downloads. Sites get more share based on number of visits? Lots of background loads, content in multiple iframes, split across many pages, etc. Any metric you can think of can and will be gamed, other than "user says they want this site to get a share". (That can be gamed too, but only insofar as sites already compete for user attention.)

I think it's a much bigger assumption that the fire code which requires people have somewhere to escape to when a stairwell is on fire was put in place to make it difficult to build instead of for helping to keep families from burning alive.

I fully agree that if after careful and thorough examination it's determined that the codes are outdated and can be removed without endangering people that they should be, even if it didn't make it easier for developers.
I suspect it’s not possible on a single device, or if it’s theoretically possible very few have made something like this since the demand is, I would guess, unfortunately too small.

Isn't this why the US invests in having the world's biggest military by a long margin, plus the world's most powerful spy agencies? To make sure nobody dares cut them out of their privileged position otherwise they get a dose full of aircraft carriers, F-35 and B-2s after the NSA finds out what their plans is from the spyware they put in their iPhone.
The single-stair plan shown [1] isn't really single stair. It's three stairs, one per pair of units (per floor). If multifamily requires two means of egress, you'd need to add three more stairs, which takes up a lot of footprint. It would be easier to delete one stairway and add a hallway; but then only the two end units can address both the front and back of the building.

It's worse if you do stairs to a central landing and multiple units off that landing, where there's simply no way to add a single stairway that addresses all the units.

I worked on migrating our MySQL system to PostgreSQL using pgloader ( https://pgloader.io/ ).

There were some hiccups, things that needed clarification in documentation, and some additional processes that needed to be done outside of the system to get everything we need in place, it was a amazing help. Not sure the project would've been possible without it.

Data mapping from PostgreSQL to PostgreSQL as in the article isn't nearly as bad as going between systems. We took a full extended outage and didn't preload any data. There were many dry runs before hand and validation before hand, but the system wasn't so mission critical that we couldn't afford to shutoff the system for a couple of hours.
I'm pretty sure the numbers on web3dsurvey are skewed. AFAICT only sizes about webgl and webgpu development are surveyed. To get real numbers you need their survey script to run on popular non-techie sites right?

> and the hiring of poor boys as prostitutes makes a difference

I'd say absolutely yes, that is wrong, but at the time it was not considered so wrong. I understand the age of consent was introduced for girls to stop them being used as prostitutes, and some men at the time were against this legislation. The question is, who defines 'right'?

> Child brides in modern Yemen or many other places

Sadly in their eyes, this is considered acceptable, even good. In our eyes, and mine, it's unacceptable. How do we define 'right' in this context? If we are right then how do we make them understand they are wrong?

Why they do it is simple; it is done in their culture so it is right. I see exactly the same kind of thing appearing here on HN where somebody condemns something they don't like (e.g., https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38981118) because "you're wrong because you're not right", essentially.

> but a 40 year old who is found to have had sex with a 16 year old is likely to be badly regarded

I'm not so sure. Such cases have existed, I remember on TV maybe 25 years ago a woman of 40 who married her husband of 16, it seemed to work and nobody seemed to upset about it. I personally knew of a couple, she was 19 and he was 60 and it was a good relationship while it lasted. I think people would take such age-unequal relationships on their own merits, and that is actually a good thing because otherwise it would just be intolerance.
Considering most of these companies are in the middle of budget cuts and layoffs (including specifically in the YouTube division), it should be obvious that they aren’t going to be rushing to staff up teams to build an app for an untested device that will probably be in the hands of a few thousand people at launch. “Wait and see” is the best approach right now.
