I wouldnt just say "they can", the average first exposure to porn is ~10, so "they do". And this isnt some spicy magazine the issue with internet porn is that it's an intense supranormal stimuli relative to, say, a

Besides Porn, what sites are doing this? It's odd to me that the EFF page does not mention "porn" or "adult content" at all.

by maerF0x0 11mo ago
It's funny to me that porn does not have more age verification than just "Yes, I promise I'm 18+" (or whatever). If I go to the liquor store, I can't just promise "I'm 21+" If I go to vote, I can&#x27

I would love to see someone do a longitudinal study of the incident/error rate of a canary container in prod that is managed by claude. Basically doing a control/experimental group to prove who does better the Humans or the AI?

Perhaps, but more likely I would have preferred regulating the blasting of that damn horn.

In the house I lived it was not debunked. It was fact. The caltrain blasted it's horn hourly (or more) 24/7 within earshot of my house. I could not sleep with my window open and often slept with ear plugs even with the window clos

TIL that word. I wish as a society we'd use this form of taxation more, and widely applied taxes less. In theory insurance is supposed to have the actuarial people who figure it out and properly price the choices in, but it's also

IMO it would be even better if was an auction based system, maybe 24/7. That way if someone has an <= $8.99 threshold/need to drive, and they find a slot, they will. I think the static pricing will create a distortion in the us

This article confirms my existing bias/belief that user pays and auction[0] based systems improve governmental programs and finite supply systems in a society like the USA. [0]- Yes I'm well aware this is not an auction based syst

I see it equivalently helpful to the folks who paste archive.is/ph links for paywalled content. It saves me time to do something I may have wanted to do regardless, and it's easy enough to fold if someone does post a wall of respo

Definitely prefer something like Total market, even 500 companies is too much of a bias towards one group. Especially with the S&P500 currently looking like an S&P10...

basically renting, not exactly the same. The point is interest only loan is Renting + Equity Exposure. It's a good move if you are experiencing the price appreciation growing faster than your downpayment. You can enter the market pri

Why not? You can lease a car. IMO an interest-only mortgage is basically renting with upside to the equity, which is something the US seems to be very keen on getting everyone to have some skin in the realestate game. I'm not really in

Reads like: "I made poor decisions, over leveraged myself, and then I lost everything... Now I expect others to take the fall." Lesson learned. Be super careful who you open contracts with. Marriages are a coin toss. Would you put

They're selling a public asset to the mainstreet dummy, so they can pour money on the AI fire so OpenAI can build more datacenters. This is another vein of circular funding, they're getting their cash from our retirement accounts
