The crux of the matter is very simple: do not break Swiss law when using ProtonMail.

Or protonmail doesn't protect suspected terrorists?

When the definition of "suspected" is "a foreign government claimed", no one is safe.

(I know that's not a fair representation of the facts of this case, but neither is calling the suspect a "terrorist").

And support for two external displays

I'm running three right now, please.

If you're driving below 150km/h on the middle or left lane in Germany, you're actively putting yourself in danger.

No, you are not. You shouldn't suddenly move to a lane left of you without checking that there is no faster traffic oncoming though. And you might move right, if possible. But it is not a special danger.

I hope they come with support for more than one external screen.

They don't mention the B.1.617 variant.

I had some of the best wines in the world while flying. Not on AA though.

Emirates or Etihad or something? Some first class cabins seem to have nicer food + wine than most restaurants.

Singapore Air. Some of the best champagne I’ve ever had.

I've heard they're a great airline also. Hope to fly with them some day.

SQ Suites is definitely one of the best soft products in the sky. Dom and Krug aside, they even go over the top for coffee. First time I’ve had Jamaican Blue Mountain served in flight.

Agreed. I'll go out of my way to fly SQ because the experience is so good compared to someone like United.

One thing is sure: we've never closer from the next crash.

No truer words have been said

I watched it last night. It's pretty good for non HN crowd that might not know this already. But I personally felt that they forgot the most important question: what pushed algorithm to recommend what they are recommending? Why are Youtube's rabbit holes more likely to be conspiracy theory related and/or inflammatory content? In the beginning, the algorithm was probably equally pushing for this type of content and more educational content. Why can't we make science related/educational content interesting enough for it to become a rabbit hope recommended by algorithms?

A large amount of my recommended YouTube videos are educational, but I subscribe to a lot of nature docs, history etc, I don't think the algorithm dislikes this kind of content for me. So I guess the answer to your question is, we can?

Money.

i think the more accurate answer is Engagement. we made it maximize paperclips, it maximized paperclips. sadly the most engaging is the most extreme.

I agree with that. I think the question that's left unanswered is "why can't we make educational/scientific/historic content that drives up engagement?"

Probably because reality is complicated, confusing and boring. What drives up engagement are clear, coherent stories and narratives with twists and turns that leave us shocked or awed. If you want educational content to be engaging, you have to find a way to make a good narrative out of truth. That's what this documentary and all other successful documentaries attempt to do.

But sometimes (most of the time, really) truth just doesn't fit this structure, so to make it engaging, you have to deform and twist it a bit. And if reality is really, actually, mundane, there's not much you can do to make it engaging, whereas it's extremely easy to make engaging, convincing falsehoods about nearly any subject.

i mean, we kind of can. 3blue1brown is amazing and popular. Dan Carlin and Hardcore History.

its just that the 7 sins always win hands down. even for someone who's aware of their corrupting influence.

I think money is more accurate really since noone cares about engagement for the sake of engegement, but rather for the money engagement generates.

Money is the root cause. Engagement is the direct cause. Both are important.

I'm wondering if what actually happened is that Onlyfans leveraged the backlash around Bella Thorne to implement the limits they have been thinking about for a while, instead of implementing those as a reaction.

FTA: However OnlyFans told the BBC pricing changes had "been in the pipeline for a while".

Do they charge a flat fee or some kind of commission? If its a flat fee I guess it would be in their interest if its commission it wouldn't.

It's commission based I believe. But it could still be in their interest to mitigate chargebacks for example.

Chargebacks are HUGE in this field and all the mitigations you might find as part of your big payment processor don't apply because eg. Stripe don't allow any of this kind of thing on their platform.

That's funny because OnlyFans uses Stripe...

I read on HN a few days ago that they use stripe for non sex related models, and ccbill for adult related models. Ccbill is the porn industry’s payment processor but it costs much more.

Ah, wasn't aware. One of my contract positions right now is in a sex worker field and a lot of the infrastructure and billing needs to be done themselves.

In some other HN thread it was explained that they use multiple CC processors, and only use Stripe on the non forbidden by Stripe stuff.

I have seen code based that were following this principle, but nobody realised they were writing the same thing for the 5th time.
