Unfortunately I’m not in any specific position to have access to things that could be of help.

But good to know.

Doesn’t have everything, but does have quite a bit. Still 10/10, would use again.

Its okay, the UK has a spare.

When you hit the “Olde Fortran” too hard one night.

Sometimes people celebrate the death of horrific and oppressive people. That’s not necessarily a bad thing.

First sentence might have been fine, its the second one that probably was a “foot in the hornets nest.”

Specifically, the executives and shareholders want their Publicly Traded Shares of company stock to be increasing in value. Advertisers are good for getting long term holders of the stock to keep holding and buying, but everybody else is looking to quietly pump up the numbers and sell what they can without upsetting the apple-cart.

I’d bet a shiny metal dollar that after the IPO starts, the porn subs will slowly start being winnowed down. Give it a few years and if any exist they will be private.

Porn is less of a legal liability than copyright claims is my guess.

Also… like… if somebody is dumping money into Reddit as a user of Reddit, which is more likely to make them stop: killing the piracy forums or the porn forums?

The optics of a potentially publicly traded company (what ever happened with the Reddit IPO thing?) openly having a “how to steal other companies copyrighted work” forum is more of a negative than IP farming with no method to actually do anything useful with the IP addresses.

I take a picture of your face and paste it onto somebody having sex with a minor…

You, were , a school teacher.

Somewhere (and it keeps moving) is a small pile of cellphones that I haven’t gotten around to getting rid of. Every few years I’ll do some cleaning/rearranging and stumble across an old Motorola Razor flip phone and I kinda miss it.

The size and weight were good. Solid construction (dropped the thing a few times and it took the fall like a champ). Doesn’t do smart phone stuff, but hey, there was enough memory that it could store some audio files and simple text files.

Profitability might not be the issue, neither are supposed to function solely to make a profit. From the linked blog post, referencing an email, it is stated that its costing more than the revenue can support.

From a general internet search:

c(3)'s can’t engage too much (or at all) in legislative stuff but a c(6) can

c(3)'s are supposed to do things to help a group outside of itself while c(6)'s are supposed to exist to support their members

c(6)'s aren’t required to report personal information of a person/entity making a donation to the IRS or public

Don’t have time to read the research paper linked by the article at the moment…

But isn’t the research just looking at how people view the message and not “were you pirating stuff and now you’re not?”

tldr

“Womens, get your mans to pirate you the latest season of Outlander”

Does Netflix still do the “free trial period” and “get free months if a friend sent you” thing?

Are there any numbers about how many unsubscribers to compare to the subscribers? That’d be a juicy number.

Fuck… new political compass just made its way into the wild…

I mean, my home is filled with ancient laptops that we use until they explode, its a pretty common occurrence when trying to watch something streaming the ads would load just fine but the actual show wouldn’t actually load. So… shrug

Depends on what kind of programing your doing and what kind of projects your working on.

As a person who isn’t great a programming, has no real use for it in my daily life and forgets everything I’ve learned, and has pretty much given up on trying to remember what little I ever knew I was able to make a program that used Excel, an Excel compatible version of a grocery store’s main supplier’s invoices, and USB barcode scanner to greatly speed up checking in the 10+ pallets of stuff that would come in three days a week.

Pretty much the only math I can remember needing to use was “add +1 to value stored in incrementerVariable”.

Also, as far as programming goes, you can be bad at math so long as you can remember that there is a formula to do a thing. Nobody is expecting you to remember a pile of equations, only that they exist and how to look them up when you need them.
