He has a large and fanatical fanbase despite having trapped his pregnant girlfriend in a room and beating her so severely her eyes swelled shut (which he would later brag about)... while out on bail for breaking into someone's house, pistol whipping them, and robbing them.


Its also ripe for abuse; create dummy accounts that use their free stays to give a host credit, then the host sells those credits for real money.

On a certain movie tracker some invite selling scum would join via the signup process that used to exist on reddit, cheat a bunch of upload on popular torrents, convert that upload into bonus points, launder the points to their main account through a forum contest where they also gave away BP to innocent users, and buy invites to sell for real $ with the laundered BP. Similarly the dummy camping accounts could make sure to mix in some legit hosts as their free stays by picking hosts that may not be around/able to verify the dummy account stayed at their location (because it didn't).


I enjoy the irony of complaining about people breaking the rules on a pirate movie tracker.


It's different kinds of rules, you cannot easily compare them. Similarly to how the paradox of tolerance falls apart if you consider tolerance a social contract: https://cdn.rheinneckar.social/media_attachments/files/110/6...


pirate movie trackers are notoriously strict about people breaking their rules.


The paradox of piracy?



How is a company that is not profitable according to the CEO going to hire 20,000 people to replace the volunteer moderators?


Is it hard to find volunteer moderators who wouldn't block off access to sub reddits? I also doubt the number is as high as 20k. As long as the top mod aligns with Reddit, the other moderators can do nothing.


They might mean SiGMA not SiG, SiGMA releases on PrivateHD. EPSiLON used to also, but there was some issues between them and PHD and they are currently releasing on TorrentLeech I believe. SiGMA does Amazon/Netflix WebDLs, but EPSiLON only does BD remuxes.


The fact they're XviD, no respectable torrent sites have allowed those encodes in well over half a decade.


I must be using all the wrong torrent sites :-)


> They wanted large scale trials but they were unscientifically denied which made people very suspicious about the reasons why.

False. There was an large scale international trial and it showed that HCQ did little to nothing to treat covid.

Hasn't this been how Xbox has operated for 2 decades now?


Or every console until it reaches a certain maturity.


Except for Switch.

By this metric (vs. component and manufacturing cost) PS5 (both models) became profitable less than a year after launch.

Of course Apple's gaming devices (iPhone, Apple TV, etc.) are always profitable.


74% of voters in Italy did not want Meloni.


Cool, we need to figure out why people dont go out and vote while we do respect those that did. Not saying we should blindly agree with their choice, but it feels like there is so much going on beneath the surface that threats will only make things worse.


This is probably the most level headed political comment I've read on HN in a long time. Kudos.


.cue files already handle that for music and every significant media player has supported them for decades


Nice, I didn't know about that. Maybe they can also use it for this pr0n thing?
