>Ask your children to work in it if there is nothing bad about it.

If that's their choice, I will make sure they know the dangers and follies of it or any other industry they want to work in. Because every industry has its bads. Especially for women.

Once they hit 18, I have to trust the judgment I instilled in them. Always welcome back home, especially early on because fuck housing market. But it's their life to live, not mine.

>You have been conditioned into thinking its normal for young women to degrade themselves on camera in return for money.

Compared to kids on tiktok degrading themselves (usually non-sexually) on camera in return for money? Yeah, I don't like either

But again: to each their own.

>Yes its voluntary, but you live in a country where people go bankrupt because healthcare is expensive, and these are not phds with a tonne of options, you realize this

Sounds like we should actually let kids get hired instead of go through 4 rounds of Pseudo-IQ tests just to get minimum wage work at the grocery store. But that must be the conditioning as well. No one wants to work anymore after all.

Have you seen the modern entry level market? I'm not surprised people are seeking gigs these days, sexual or not.
>It is true though that GCP sometimes sunsets specific product functionality, requiring changes on the customers' part. Some of these are unavoidable (eg committing to apply security patches to Python 2.7 given that the rest of the world is mostly not upstreaming these patches anymore), but not all of them.

A good example is probably IoT. I've heard first hand anecdotes of very difficult migrations off this service.

Yeah, this is great. The way I see it, potential sovereigns gain legitimacy by organizing things for the good of the people. Right now it looks like the exercise of Squamish sovereignty is in the interest of all people (except property leeches). In which case, by all means run the show.

Don't know if editorialozed or if the website edited the title, but the current page reads:

>Pornhub Disables Website in Texas Over Age-Verification Law

So, mission accomplished?
The law specifically says they must not retain ID information, and there is a $10,000 fine per instance if they do:

https://legiscan.com/TX/text/HB1181/id/2819916

> 129B.002(b) A commercial entity that performs the age verification
required by Subsection (a) or a third party that performs the age
verification required by Subsection (a) may not retain any
identifying information of the individual.

So I suppose the court would take them at their word unless there were some evidence presented that they did not check ID or accepted an obvious fake (e.g. a sting operation), just like in person.

I don't understand why everyone gets so up in arms about this topic without ever reading the laws being written. Absent any information, you might guess that the system ought to work exactly the way it does in person too, which seems to be the case. This was true of the (Utah?) parental controls law discussed on HN a couple weeks ago too. People start asking all these what-ifs about things the law explicitly thought about, and handled in a reasonable way.
Show HN: Veriph.One – Free Twilio Verify Alternative
Hi HN! This is Cristian Guerrero, co-founder of Veriph.One: an SDK you embed in your mobile or web app to handle phone-based auth/MFA and user verification for you. We built a specialized service that ensures all non-fraudsters can pass your phone verification process successfully, even in developing markets.

In contrast to the incumbents, we have a free plan for startups and indie makers, which is made possible by our new Inverse OTP method. This method is more reliable than conventional OTPs (higher deliverability) and immune to SMS pumping because it lets the user send the OTP instead. Demo available at demo.veriph.one

We also provide a white-label UI that simplifies the integration and automatically offers your users multiple options if their context impedes them from using one or more methods.

Why work on this?
Because I was extremely frustrated at how unreliable phone verification services are. At a previous startup, we lost up to 30% of our acquired users across 7 countries in Latin America each month because OTPs sent via SMS weren’t delivered. This led to angry users contacting customer support, lost revenue, and increased CAC. But the worst part was the cost overruns caused by retries and SMS pumping.

After several vendor changes, we realized the outcome was always the same, and these companies didn’t care to fix it. I realized that their services are optimized for MKT and that security and reliability are not prioritized. Worse, they have a conflict of interest because they benefit from retries and SMS Pumping.

As an engineer, I decided to take action and build a specialized solution that would work for the specific use case of auth and MFA. The result is a verification-as-a-service product that ensures all legitimate users go through and that costs are always predictable and aligned with your goals (we charge by successful verification or MAU instead of messages).

We, the team behind Veriph.One, are very proud of what we have achieved so far and would love your feedback. Especially if you don’t like it, so we can improve.

Note: To test it out, you’ll need an API Key; if you don’t want to sign up, let us know in the website’s chat, and we can gladly grant you an anonymous one.
"If tomorrow they decided to start developing nuclear weapons I don't think "they didn't consent to be governed" would fly."

Any nation developing nuclear weapons will get serious problems from the nations who already have them. Native, or not.

And it used to not be necessary, to have "international standing" to have your own state. You just minded your own buisness and tried to get along with the local neighbors. As far as I understand, this is a compromise, to bring some of it back. They are still subject to most of federal law and that is not going to change. So there won't be a true souvereign native state inside of canada anytime soon.
I could see them being impressed with the human achievements. I have doubts if they would be impressed by the engineering. Everything I see looks more like the results of human hours spent.

Consider giving those old timers the same problem with todays resources and I think we would get great results.
I use and like the application. I'm just skeptical of a government that doesn't allow any of our social networks in their country and expects us to allow their social networks in our country.

If 2 families solely inhabited (owned) an island, since pre-history, and Family 1 sells the entire island to newcomers, while Family 2 takes no part in the deal or its approval, and does not cede their land to the purchase, then any court in the land will, quite rightly, hear Family 2's case that they are still the owner of their regions of the island.

Why would that be different here?

This seems more in line with what I've traditionally seen emulator makers do. Extreme care to insist the program is for homebrew only, with little to no guidance on obtaining ROMs. This legal grey area has existed for a long time. I can see why Nintendo would get annoyed by people trying to profit off of this.

The "Visual" in "Visual Programming Language" is about the graphical, interactive method of creating and understanding programs, rather than merely the visibility of textual or graphical code.

Spreadsheets typically show the entire formula of the selected cell at the top of the window, at the full width of the window.

Visual programming languages based on outliners and notebooks, like UserLand Frontier, Jupyter, or Mathematica, let you hide the code by closing the outlines or code editor views.

Ivan Sutherland's pioneering PhD thesis "Sketchpad" didn't show code or formulas or constraints on the screen all the time either, focusing on the graphical content itself that you were creating and editing and programming with direct manipulation, demonstration, and constraints, instead of just the code.

Ivan Sutherland Sketchpad Demo 1963:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6orsmFndx_o

>This video is a TV show made about the software Ivan Sutherland developed in his 1963 thesis at MIT's Lincoln Labs, "Sketchpad, A Man-Machine Graphical Communication System", described as one of the most influential computer programs ever written. This work was seminal in Human-Computer Interaction, Graphics and Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs), Computer Aided Design (CAD), and contraint/object-oriented programming. While watching this video, remember that the TX-2 computer (built circa 1958) on which the software ran was built from discrete transistors (not integrated circuits -it was room-sized) and contained just 64K of 36-bit words (~272k bytes).
I have found that even the group I'm in being documentation-heavy, it's hard to read through everything and build the same context that another engineer has all stuffed into their head.

As you mention:

> available and searchable digitally.

Even with 100% everything written down, it takes a while to build up that context, and even carefully written documentation can have subtleties which send a consumer the wrong way.

Things are a lot easier than they used to be, but still not easy-easy.
Interesting Asterix on that is the humans will only be on Starship from Lunar orbit down to the moon surface and then back to lunar orbit again.

No humans aboard during Starship launch, transit to and from the moon or re-entry.

(For completeness, humans will do all that other stuff aboard SLS and Orion. Starship literally only ferries them down the moon and back up again)
When the catch up is in the form of hiring quotas for a mining project on native lands, that’s just a consensual business deal and it’s positive.

But sometimes the situation is taken advantage of and the appeasement goes too far. Like instead of cutting firewood for the wood stove, you just throw all your furniture and cabinetry and doors in there. Then you just ask for new ones from a big company who just wants to quietly put this problem away without stirring up a fuss and risking their project or bigger costs later. That actually happened lol.

It’s not a race issue or a cultural issue. Natives are competent people. We may have different ancestral traditions, but we share exactly the same culture today. Where do you think the Canadian accent comes from? That’s a native accent. Our cultures mixed together.

If a business and a land owning band want to cut a deal, by all means. If the government and the bands want to settle land compensation, then settle it once and for all. It really just never ends as it stands. Like what does free post secondary have to do with land claims? It really looks like systemic racism.

And if the government was serious about any of this they’d give them autonomy in their lands. Statehood. That hasn’t happened. Why not? I get that you can’t sign over Vancouver because it’s been developed, but a lot of these places are in the bush.

It’s really a shit show. We’re not the rich country we once were. We can’t afford to pay billions forever on repeat just to make it go away for a little while. Settle it all immediately and make all races equal.
> Half of my career was built because I'm not an anonymous random software guy and companies know my work.

I think this is a really important point. Most companies aren't going to hire some anonymous person on the internet with no track record or verifiable background. Most companies can't even legally put someone on their payroll without knowing a lot more about a person.

People without a real-name presence on the internet are only going to get a pretty limited amount of unsolicited job-opening contact. And that might be what people like that prefer, which is fine. The minimal cold emails that come in may even be of much much higher quality and relevance. But ultimately they're still leaving a lot on the table, even if much of what's on the table is probably poorly-targeted crap. (Again, that's fine if that's what they want.)

This is the elephant in the room lots of people seem to ignore. Sure, you could sell your game solely on your own website, but what's your support like? What's your refund policy if the support sucks? Will you be there 20 years later? Will your new CEO decide to start enshittifying things?

People keep putting Steam on their desktop because Valve has spent decades cultivating customer's trust, meanwhile every other MBA has been burning it for short term gain. Partnering with Valve comes with access to things like APIs and tools, but you also receive a little bit of that trust by association.

Not only has EGS seemingly failed to build something with equivalent features, APIs, tooling, etc. but in doing so they've failed to show a reason to trust them. So if the lower cut isn't resulting lower prices, what's the value prop for customers? GOG has an angles: games nobody cared to make available for a long time and being DRM free. To me it looks like Epic took the MBA route and wanted to build a moat via console style exclusivity, but that's not trust. Free games aren't trust. Just being on the customer's machine isn't trust.

Most people don't even have two forms of photo id in the US. Usual identification for jobs involves deeds/bills (no photo), pay stubs (no photos), social security (no photo, usually), and birth certificate (no photo).

The only major form of photo ID is a state/driver's license and passports and I think only 30% of the US has Passorts. It's such a big country that you can reasonably never require it and still travel more than the average EU citizen.

You can also fill out a form with your employer to get a photo form of employee authorization, but you're Sol of you're freelance/gig economy.
Imagine you program a robot to "put away" a towel. Then it opens the door and finds there's a cup in the place already. Now what? Or a mouse. Or a piece of paper that looks like a towel in this lighting. Or a child.

Imagine the frustration if the robot kept returning to you saying "I cannot put this away". You'd get rid of the robot quickly. Reasoning at that level is so difficult.

But then imagine it was just a towel all along - oops, your perception system screwed up and now you put the towel in the dishwasher. Maybe this happens 1/1,000,000 times, but that person posts pictures on the internet and your company stock tanks.
Going to be interesting to see how they respond.

> MVPs are supposed to be prototypes that reveal the answer about a specific hypothesis that is critical to your strategy. It's only a positive tradeoff if you are rigorous about what knowledge you don't have about your customers and technology, and build exactly the thing that will answer the question.

Put differently (to put the misunderstanding to rest): MVPs aren't alpha- or beta-versions of software; don't treat them as such.
Yea these flood events are interesting. But did you read the Conservapedia page? They are very specific about the flood having happened 5000 years ago and say it was a global phenomenon. That was just the first link I clicked on the homepage. I dare you to find something equally implausible on the English Wikipedia homepage.

And if you don't find the biblical flood implausible, well, I'm somewhat intrigued why you believe that to be an option.
