I will start making a list for linux then.

rm - ok for all ages.

grep - 18+, you can obviously use this to search for porn.

find - 18+, see grep.

reboot - ok for all ages.

echo - ok for all ages.

cat - 18+, prints the porn you found directly to your terminal.

sudo - 18+, obviously.

kill - ok for all ages. This is the US, right.

ps - 18+, no peeping at other processes.


> echo - ok for all ages.

Sound good in theory, until you realise that any teenager knows perfectly well how to trivially get around the lack of `cat` to read their terminal smut:

    $ while read -r LINE; do echo $LINE; done <my_porn_file.sext

Simply require per-use parental consent for fopen.

I am sick and tired of these teenagers and their sharing of bash oneliners on insta.

Obviously the solution is to ban their use of all social media so those pesky bash oneliners can't be shared in the first place!

Absolutely not, that would prevent profits to big political donors. Instead we should ban bash oneliners, or ID gate them. No loops or pipes (etc) unless you've handed over government issued ID.

Then we can build a centralized database of government IDs and use them to make deepfakes, send spam in the mail and perform identity theft. Genius!

cat ~= rev | rev. Are all isomorphisms also 18+? Does it spread to | or rev?

rm - between -i and -r this is just a less efficient way to search for porn

reboot - you never know what the sysadmin might have loading on boot, unsafe as it could load porn

echo - ASCII art would like to have a word

kill - I know the US will have mixed feelings, but communicating with other processes might allow them to send you porn


ed - 45+ nostalgics only

fsck - 18+ obviously can't just fsck around filesystems

fsck around and find out

>reboot - ok for all ages.

I'm not so sure, who knows what woke UEFI and edgy motherboard vendors are putting up as splash screens these days. And the law doesn't even consider those since they aren't part of the OS!


rm needs to be 18+, kids could use it to cover their tracks.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

echo "porn"

Well, this does the actual measurement. Measurement is how deviations from theory are discovered.


Please define 'real'.


Single shot from single place instead scanning it for ALL DAY and claiming it's real time etc haha



Also a technique used all over the place for studying how molecules react to light. Probe it with as short of a laser pulse you can afford to buy and measure the light emitted by it some time later. My wife has been doing this basic technique for years studying things like molecules to generate fuels from sunlight. (Or was until solar energy funding as practically eliminated last year, now it's studying other things using similar techniques)


I am not a compass-nerd at all, and wonder: why don't we all use electronic compasses these days? Or, why use compasses at all? easier ways of navigating have been developed.


Multiple reasons:

1. A traditional compass is cheaper. They are so cheap they are built into the caps of ultra-cheap hiking sticks.

2. Traditional compasses don't need recharging.

3. Traditional compasses don't seem to be as easily fooled by stray EM noise. It could be the inertial dampening of the mass of the needle, but I've been in the woods where expensive electronic compasses misfired, but the old-fashioned one still worked just fine.

4. Dedicated devices have far lower usage hurdles. If I'm hiking, a glance at the top of my stick tells me the general (8-point) direction I'm going. An electronic compass at a minimum requires me to fish out a device and turn it on, or open an app.

5. If you aren't navigating by precise map measurements, all you really need is 8-point information (that is, "northwest" instead of 281 degrees). Needles in a circle are perfect for this; digital degrees are not.


The reasons listed already, plus many events that involve navigation (like fell running) specifically ban electronic equipment.


We do use electronic compass. That’s how google maps on your phone knows which way you are pointing.


Untrue. Google maps infers direction from multiple time-separated locations - that is, your velocity vector. If you don't move, it guesses - and is quite often wrong.


No. You can see blue emit from your position in the direction your phone is pointing. If you turn around, it will turn around too. It uses the built in compass for this.


Can you post the document numbers, I can't find where these texts are in the original pdfs.


ah, found it - this is from the 'Court Records' part.

https://www.justice.gov/multimedia/Court Records/Matter of the Estate of Jeffrey E. Epstein, Deceased, No. ST-21-RV-00005 (V.I. Super. Ct. 2021)/2022.03.17-1 Exhibit 1.pdf



Link broken. (See reply with link that works.)


I was a bit disappointed that he did not in fact solve all billions/trillons of possible sudoku puzzles.


You'd appreciate "Every 5x5 Nonogram": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44140918


It is the brain uploading it's memories to the afterlife.


Did anyone note that there is no cryptography involved in this way of extracting book contents?


After researching the webviewer, and finding basically the same as pixelmelt, I found someone else already made the script,

I've been using https://github.com/teticio/kindle2pdf + tesseract to convert amazon books to text.

So that repo also disappeared. Neither is mentioned in https://github.com/github/dmca
