I'm confused, which point of the hype cycle is this?
The Trough of Disillusion. Though we definitely aren't down there yet, it's coming.

Just to add to this. OnlyFans also uses Stripe as their payment processor.
To be clear, Stripe is one of multiple payment processors OnlyFans uses. I don't know what the other ones are but they do have a processor that is more favorable for NSFW content, and all related payments go through that/those processors. Safer payments go through Stripe, at least last I checked.
A bit off topic: Is there any theoretical upper limit on the mass of a black hole?
Given things like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TON_618 and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_Cluster#Supermassive_b..., probably not. Seems like you can just keep shoving mass into it.
This ruling has been widely misinterpreted. It does not mean that the president can make an unlawful declaration and that the National Guard, for example, must follow it even though the declaration is inconsistent with the law.
That said, it’s not immediately clear to me that this would be illegal. The National Guard and the District of Columbia is a unique edge case because D.C. is not a state.
To be clear I don’t like this move nor where it is going. I’m not endorsing it, only trying to understand the legal basis.
No, I think we all have a pretty clear interpretation of that ruling.
If no-one is going to uphold the legality, or lack there of, then there is no rule of law.
SCOTUS is not going to hold POTUS accountable.
Therefore, Trump is above the law.
Move to the cloud they said. It will be more secure then your intranet they said. Only fools pay for their own Ops team they said.
I’m so old and dumb that I don’t even understand why an app for internal Microsoft use is even accesible from outside its network.
The last decade has seen an increase push in what Google started calling "Zero Trust"[0] and dropping VPNs entirely. The issue being that once someone got into a VPN it was much, much harder to prevent them from accessing important data.
So everything "internal" is now also external and required to have its own layer of permissions and the like, making it much harder for, e.g. the article, to use one exploit to access another service.

I dealt with this kind of thing for years growing up, and for the most part grown out of it but it can still strike me out of nowhere.
The feelings of the walls of the room suddenly racing away from you, or the feeling that your hands are suddenly 10x as big and everything you touch is tiny, are terrifying for a growing kid. Heck even talking about it now tingles those fears just a bit, but now I can for the most part logic myself out of it.
I slept with a light on in my room for many years, that was the only thing that helped.

How does something like this happening not make people immediately realize that the Republican party is not working for the people anymore? I don't think Dems are doing a bang up job, but this is something developed and deployed, 100% working, that only helps the American people navigate a complicated tax system. The only reason to get rid of it is to hurt the American people.
Because for probably the vast majority of Republican voters, this is effectively a religion (identity politics). It doesn't matter what the Republican party chooses to do, voting Republican is a part of who people are and to do anything else is simply unbelievable.

Facebook / Meta and Mark in particular are an amazing case of someone who is, at least at this point, incapable of learning from past mistakes, or even recognizing the mistakes they have made and are continuing to make.
Facebook's mission of "connecting the world" turned out to be the absolute worst thing anyone should ever try to do. Humans are social creatures, yes, but every connection we make costs energy to maintain, and at a certain point (Dunbar's Number) we apply the minimal amount of energy and effort. With Internet anonymity, that means we are actually incapable of treating each other as people on the Internet, leading to the rise of toxicity and much, much worse.
Mark has never understood this, and as his fortune is built around not understanding this, he never will.
There is nothing good that will come from Meta's "superintelligence" and this vision is proof.
So here's the actual problem: People. People want to escape Earth because of people. But escaping Earth is impossible alone, so you have to escape with other people ... which means you're bringing along with you every single problem you are trying to escape from.
We'll never escape each other, we can only learn to live with each other, wherever we are.
Incidentally, The Expanse is a fantastic sci-fi book series and tv series that covers this beautifully.
The U in "UFO" stands for "unidentified". It has nothing to do with aliens. Were there intelligent enough species out there to have solved space flight and found us and visited us, we would know.
Having just (finally) read "The Three Body Problem" though, I think I agree with that premise that even just knowing that other species exist would probably be a net negative to current human society.
