AGPL Section 13 as you quote it discussed the interaction of AGPL and GPL v3. It has nothing to do with the scenario the parent commenter was discussing involving the interaction of AGPL and closed-source non-GPL code.

Well, does that allow you to have the rest of your backend GPL licensed and simply not distributed? Nobody has a right to see the code unless they have the executable, and you're not giving anyone the executable, so... Kind of unfortunate if there's a leak though.

A leak of an executable doesn't imply a requirement to provide source anymore than a theft implies a warranty.

My partner both winced at that and said to each other, "Did he just say what I think he said?" So maybe I'm just too old and traditional (despite being queer)?

It's ok to say incest. And fuck, too. It's a joke. However, if you've seen Dan Harmon's early work, it does make you wonder.

The worst thing about data driven UX - especially with porn - is that it's often a self fulfilling prophecy. Trends that are likely side-effects are considered to be primary factors driving engagement. With porn, it's usually a fetish that is only moderately popular, but broadly unoffensive. Because the average person who isn't specifically interested in the fetish isn't turned off by it either, that fetish gets more…

Just a guess but: I suspect a bit that foot thing might be to lower fractions of NSFW parts in an image for otherwise SFW websites(e.g. Twitter), and also to appease older demographic because it is often argued that fetish move downwards as people ages. "Step sibling" is just a successor to "teen" and "schoolgirl" for ban avoidance. There are chances that a successor will appear in 3-5 years and my instinct says it c…

I can’t tell if you’re saying people have foot fetishes because their fetishes moved “downwards” here. Like does it start with hair?

I always thought this was a joke about the fact that it was already such a trend - the joke being that his wish came true.

Maximize utility. Maximize search accuracy. Give people what they want rather than string them along for as much time as possible.

So they'll spend next 30 seconds and close your website? Not good for ad profits. Ideally they should spend 10 minutes searching for something, looking at ads, then finally find it and return to this website next day.

They have pre-roll ads and some a really memorable jingle.

I had a friend once tell me that porn was the driving force for innovation on the internet. Firstly getting the speeds up to load images, then videos with buffering then 4k, then VR. The design features and business model of porn sites is years ahead of anything else, for a reason these sites up until very recently were the majority of bandwith over the Internet. A business model you will start to see more which is v…

Wasn't porn the first ecommerce offering? Like they were the pioneers of "give me your credit card we give you porn." or is that an urban legend, I swear I've heard this remarked here on HN before, I just don't have any solid citations.

And the lack of crypto payments for porn should be a strong sign that it’s useless.

I know it is OK. I prefer not to. And don't need your permission.

To be fair these seem like naturally intuitive and simple ideas

It's actually patented by a porn site and YouTube pays them for the licensed use of it

Source? I don't see any possible way a thumbnail playing on hover is patentable.

Why would anyone admit it publicly :P
