Why do you think it's a euphemism? It's literally where most of the US's food is grown: https://beef2live.com/story-states-produce-food-value-0-1072...

Growing up it was called "The Breadbasket of the country".

They deliberately don't want that.

Twitch is the top of the "marketing funnel" to onlyfans for a plethora of onlyfans streamers: https://i.imgur.com/jeOq6ek.png

OF spammers have also completely ruined NSFW reddit, because the simp mods do nothing about it.

I think it's more that twitch sells itself as a gaming platform but it's honestly closer to chaturbate than a gaming site.

Sure you can see gaming there, but it's not what dominates and is pushed by the platform.

It can't skip ads completely, but it will prevent showing them.

This to me is the interesting part:

>Also, the asymmetric treatment of demographic groups by OpenAI content moderation system seems to persist, whereby derogatory comments about some demographic groups are flagged as hateful while the exact same comments about other demographic groups are not labeled as hateful.

Emphasis not mine.

Or space trash, but I'm leaning meteor.

I was a Bernie bro and now I'm a registered Pacific Green. Which means to Democrats online, I'm a Republican, and to Republicans online, I'm a Democrat.

Everyone who's candidate loses says this every single election, regardless of party. And the electoral college was a deliberate concession to the sparsely populated states where all the food is grown, as is the Senate. Because America is a constitutional republic, not a direct democracy. I don't know if this is still taught in school but I distinctly remember learning it.

Apple definitely cares about that (they actually make way more money from their app store than google despite the much smaller userbase).

But they're also better at keeping out malware than google's app store I feel.

I could be wrong.

>I’d rather just pay once for games, though that seems to be on its way out.

Unfortunately the only way to fight that is to not pay for anything else, but companies also know that's where the money's at.

I paid $40 for Overwatch. ActiBlizzard replaced what I paid for with F2P "Overwatch 2" and added "battle passes" and overpriced skins, and they seem to be going that way permanently now.

That is, I don't have access to Overwatch, the product I paid full price for, anymore. And the PvE content they marketed Overwatch 2 as still hasn't materialized either.

Maybe what we need are unions. I realize it's hard to do with H1Bs, contractors, remote work, and offshoring. But maybe we should try anyway?

One could be tempted to think we're overpaid or have it too good as is, but we're basically lightning wizards making rocks think for us from sometimes thousands of miles away from where we physically are. When put that way it doesn't seem so farfetched to pay us a lot of money for our works.

That's because it is evil. Specifically, greed.

I mean if your perspective on reality is dominated by these companies it will definitely appear that way: https://i.imgur.com/taGzsZP.jpg

But there's a whole world out there, and Trump winning in 2016 sure surprised a lot of people who believe that reality has a liberal bias.

Wage theft is ~$15B annually: https://www.denver7.com/news/national-politics/the-race/wage...

Why would they IPO? They're owned by Advance Publications, which is owned by the Newhouse family. They're not an independent company and haven't been since 2011.

I'm curious who the medical cartels in this context. Can you elaborate?

Kind of off topic... but after ~20 years of using *nix, the the graphic in the background finally explained to me why it's called the "shell". Mind blown.

Am I the only one wondering why they're allowed to circumvent the $250K cap like this?

Presumably there's a cap for a reason, and presumably it's to protect ordinary Americans who rarely have $250K in assets, and not rich people who can literally afford to lose that much and still be rich.

Sometimes they're ordered to and it's not their call.

I'm not saying this is the case here, but here's a hilariously well documented instance: https://ymeskhout.substack.com/p/sorry-for-arresting-you

Yes, yes I know "just following orders" shouldn't be an excuse.

If you enjoy this kind of thing I highly recommend the substack HN introduced me to by Yessine Meskhout: https://ymeskhout.substack.com/

I've been doing this manually for years. It's nice to see as a feature in my daily driver browser. It's kind of tricky manually when it looks like the GUID at the end of a URL is a tracking link when it's actually the id of the article despite part of the headline being in the URL.

Anything that isn't a massive privacy violation/security risk.

My phone number is none of their business.

I have a Jarrah cane! I'm completely confident it would stop a steel sword. Probably mess up the edge in the process. It's heavy too.

Huh! I have a locally made wood bow made from red oak and it's an absolute bastard to shoot. I think the bowyer wanted to one-up my 55# Samick sage so he made it a 56# draw weight. And even with a thick leather armguard it hurts quite a lot to shoot because the brace height is barely over 5" and it doesn't have a trigger grip being a piece of wood. I wonder where red oak ranks on the strain/mass chart. I'm used to hearing about yew being a really good wood for bows, but I'm more into shooting them than making them.

I did find this which appears to rank them: https://www.wood-database.com/wood-articles/bow-woods/ but I don't know which if any of those are Australian.

The only interesting thing I know about Aborigines is they're the only known people who didn't invent the bow and arrow. As a hobbyist archer this is fascinating to me.

They apparently didn't need it, as they're still around.

FYI: you can't sign up without an email address (which you have to verify) and then a phone number (which can't be a google voice / voip number).

So count me out.

>It wasn't hippy tree huggers that sent all US manufacturing to China. undermining the entire US workforce, and leading to the current situation.

The working class still hasn't recovered from what NAFTA did to our share of wealth. (I'm trying to find the tweet + graph where I learned this in vain)

29 years later and we haven't caught up. The TPP (NAFTA, but for China) would have made it worse.

I don't know about niche, but MachineLearning and StableDiffusion are the only SFW ones.

FWIW, the NSFW ones are unstable_diffusion, sdforall, sdnsfw, aipornhub

And resigning because he was working on a competitor was completely the right thing to do. It would have been a conflict of interest. How often does that type of integrity even happen nowadays?

The whole "ELON MUSK BAD NOW" change to the zeitgeist is alarming to me. He was the darling of the left for years because of Tesla and SpaceX, but now he's completely persona non grata for...reasons?

It smacks of excommunication for heresy.

For real! This stuff is moving fast. It feels like just last week I was posting about how it's going to change...art. And now there are hilarious deepfake memes of past and current presidents shit talking about video games.

There are a handful of ML art subs that have pretty amazing stuff daily. Especially the NSFW ones, which if you've studied any history of media VHS/DVD/Blu-ray/the internet, porn is a major innovation driver because humans are thirsty creatures.
