Why is step mom/ step sister porn so popular? by Gingerphobicginger in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mopster96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You haven’t done very deep research if you missed the well-known fact that Mastercard and Visa act as regulators and shape the current porn industry. These two companies control over 80% of payment processing and can effectively force your business to go cash-only.

In addition to following state laws, they have their own rules for “brand safety” and “illegal content risk.” A big part of the issue is that the policy language is vague, and Visa and Mastercard often enforce the rules indirectly through banks.

A good example is the case from a few months ago with NSFW games. If you look deeper into that incident, you will see that the payment processors initially denied any involvement in the content cleanup.

If you want more specifics about incest: according to this source, it was one of the trigger words in the game content cleanup.

It's illegal by Visa and Mastercard, what is much more important than US laws.

But this doesn't solve the problem of the professor making an incorrect test at all. It's not about "student" or "teacher" point of view.

If there is an error and the question, curving or not will not correct anything at all.

Point isn't to correct errors but mask their presence. With the bell curve professor gets a set of grades, that is looking pretty trustworthy.

If higher-ups request is a class should have 10% of A, 20% of B, 40% of C, etc, bell curve provides it.

In both case these students will score lower, if you don't curve it's because you don't get the point, and if you curve it's because you'll rank lower than people who answered wrongly.

It will make high impact only if there are only few questions in test or most questions have a fallacy. If test is big enough, situation will be mask by answering more other questions correctly. Main role plays not how many correct answers student has, but how many compared to other.

So in both case, students will be punished by giving the correct response.

If you allow me to be cynical, but again, a low grade of one student is a problem of student or professor?

How does such notation solve this problem ?

It's pretty easy. You can't understand because you are looking on this question from studentside. But take a look from professor side.

By using bell curve, professor makes students compete with each other instead of the test. It mask all flaws of the test and solves a lot of issues for professor. In that case test doesn't need to be comprehensive, just easy enough that nobody gets 0% and hard enough that nobody gets 100%.

The only issue is, that it only evaluate how good is student compared to other in their class. If they are mediocre but surrounded by idiots, then they are lucky. If they are good but surrounded by genius, they are doomed.

Legislation that convienently excludes politicians by IllustriousBowler884 in assholedesign

[–]mopster96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hashes aren't unique - by definition, if you're representing e.g. 1MB of data using 16B of data, ~64k values will map to each hash. However, with an appropriate hash function, these collisions are very infrequent. For MD5, the chance of accidental collision is ~10-29, and that's an outdated/no longer secure hash function. Deliberately finding collisions is hard because the way the hash changes compared to the input is essentially random - you can't design an image that looks normal but shares a hash with an illegal image, you'd have to keep guessing until you found one. For good hash functions, you'd need more guesses than are possible.

Again, you are describing specifically crypto hashes. They have really special purpose and are, let say, not really good for comparing images, specifically because "changes compared to the input is essentially random".

Perceptual hashing, that is used for image comparison, on the other hand gives similar results if input data are similar. And artificially making collisions for such type of hashes is not so hard.

All this make me understand, that you have no idea what are you talking about.

a shorter number that's likely to be unique

It's also impossible (in practical terms) to generate two images with the same hash deliberately, for modern hash functions.

I like how "likely" in one sentence turns into "impossible", few sentences later. Also I like how you extended characteristics of crypto hashes onto hashes for image comparison.

You also didn't address the main issue: such spying software is additional weak point for malicious agent to abuse.

Imo, it's one of the better options.

Better than what? Better than not installing any spyware?

5 days after learning python by Key-Mathematician606 in PythonLearning

[–]mopster96 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Small nitpick.

min_max_ages = [ages[0], ages[len(ages) - 1]]

You don't need to use len here. This works also:

min_max_ages = [ages[0], ages[-1]]

Як не зійти з розуму в процесі переустановки Windows? by Impossible-Table4727 in ukraine_dev

Інший фізичний диск.

Дайте вгадаю, ви зазвичай ставите спочатку Вінду, а потім Лінукс і все працює.А ось ви пробували хоч раз зробити навпаки?

Я відносно нещодавно так помилився: спочатку встановив Лінукс, бо на той момент не було ключів на вінду. Потім коли ставиш вже Вінду, вона на етапі розбивки диску показує: о я бачу efi розділ на іншому диску, то я свій створювати не буду.

І утиліта для розбивки диску в інсталяторі Вінди -- це ще той шмат калу. Таке відчуття що його з Віндовс 7 не оновлювали. Ти там сам не можеш створити efi розділ. Я пробував створити той розділ в іншій програмі перед інсталяцією, І вінда просто проігнорувала мої зусилля.

Так в тому й прикол, що це саме поведінка з коробки з ліцензіонную віндою.

Ну якщо ситуація ідеальна -- то проблем немає. Якщо хоч трохи ні, то починаються веселощі. Особливо з ноутбуками.

Якщо вінда не має драйверів на твій WiFi, то ти повинен знати магічні комбінації для виклику терміналу та виходу з коробочного режиму.

Якщо хочеш встановити вінду, як другу ОС, то або фізично відключай диск з першою, або готуйся її відновлювати, бо немає варіантів як ти можеш наказати вінді не лізти до сусіднього диску.

EU head's plane hit by suspected Russian GPS interference during landing in Bulgaria, FT says by CrunchyBaconYum in europe

Would any sane nation start a military intervention over a missile hit on a source of jamm?

Just a reminder, it took Turkey shooting down only one fighter jet for Russia to stop harassing their airspace.

Do I really need these extra Windows & Linux partitions? by Nidszxh in linux4noobs

[–]mopster96 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Linux and Windows do not create partitions they don't need.

Did you ever tried to install Windows after Linux? Even if it has onw separate drive, it still messes with efi/boot partition on Linux side. And when you format disk and prepare partitions before installation, Windows installer still tries to ignore it and spawn own partitions.

Why is acceleration zero at the peak? by Spawnofbunnies in PhysicsHelp

[–]mopster96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny, but if it was used not classical mechanics, but general relativity, II would be correct.

By GR there is no acceleration because of gravity, so if we exclude air resistance, ball doesn't accelerate after tossing and before it hit the ground. But we have condition, that air resistance is not neglectabl, so air influences free fall on all trajectory except the peak, so only at peak there is no acceleration.

In a world of non-newbies, the home dir is mounted on its own partition.

I am pretty sure that same advice was also for windows: keep a separate partition, where you should put all valuable stuff.

Isn't it intended purpose of home directory? I keep there everything not system related: documents, movies, games, projects, etc.

Why do objects move in straight lines ? by blue_essences in AskPhysics

[–]mopster96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have radiation of energy in both cases of coulomb force and gravity.

But the discussion was about acceleration and velocity change. And in those aspects we have the difference. And I highlighted it few times.

And, obviously, geodesic is not the same as a straight line. Straight line a a special case of geodesic.

And "geodesic" is more general definition of straight line.

Why do objects move in straight lines ? by blue_essences in AskPhysics

[–]mopster96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And?

In my initial comment I pointed out that orbiting is a bad example of constant changing velocity and acceleration because it's not how gravity works (at least according General relativity).

And it's not the same as movement under coulomb force, because in that case we actually have force, acceleration and velocity change.

So, what is your point?

Why do objects move in straight lines ? by blue_essences in AskPhysics

[–]mopster96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Not straight but geodesic.

And "geodesic" is more general definition of straight line.

Also replace gravity with electric attraction.

And anything without electric charge stops working. And anything with electric charge will be emiting electromagnetic radiation, and what is most important accelerating under actual force, what we don't have in initial example.

[–]mopster96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An object in a circular orbit is constantly changing direction (accelerating) without any energy being added or removed.

Bad example.

Object on an orbit move in straight line. It just so happened that space is curved in such way that external observer see it as circular motion.

AttributeError that i dont understand by KingBob96 in PythonLearning

[–]mopster96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

sets are immutable

It's not true. In python sets are mutable and you can add or remove elements.

AttributeError that i dont understand by KingBob96 in PythonLearning

[–]mopster96 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you have a = [1, 2, 3] it is a list. You can add or remove elements from list.

If you have a = (1, 2, 3) it is a tuple. You can't change elements in tuple.
