The only "fair" thing they could do is have specific-country accounts. If you have a UK account then you get UK price and UK content everywhere in the world.

It would suck, because of course the US version is much better, but at least it would be fair.

I find it shocking that I can't access the content I'm paying them for if I'm traveling to a different country. I don't even know if it's legally sound...

That said, per-country licensing is simply stupid. However that's how the content industry works for historical reasons, and they are known to be 30 years behind in technological understanding...

Edited to add:

Ultimately, it's a war that the content providers can't win. In order to watch Star Trek via streaming from the UK, on line I have 3 options at the moment:

1) Use a VPN and Netflix USA

2) Use a VPN and torrents

If they kill the first, what options to they leave?
Thanks. That is an interesting story.
This seems weird, it'll just increase piracy and lose them money? The people who are using proxies etc. really aren't doing anything wrong are they and they are paying for the service presumably in the locale they are proxying to?

I would like to see most drugs legalized too, but with
regulations. I would like to see all drugs that people are on long term legalized. Drugs that regulate high blood pressure, or blood sugars should be over the counter.

Basically maintance drugs--drugs you have been on for more than say four years shouldn't require an office visit for a prescription.

Too many physicians essentially hold patients hostage--all for a few extra bucks. I imagine at least 50 percent of the people reading this are on a drug long term that requires a physician, and office visit to refill it? We go to that needless office visit because we have too. We all sit in that chair--thinking, if you're not looking at my blood work, "Why am I here?"

And no---antibiotics, strong opiates, and methamphetamine type drugs should always require a physicians signature.

That said drugs like bupenorpine should be over the counter.
This one drug could help a lot of addicts--now. It's almost impossible to overdose on.

(As to marijuana--if you honestly feel it makes you feel/function better in this crazy world, why shouldn't you be able to use it. I'm ambivalent on cocaine/speed. I don't feel opiates should be made easily available. They are just to addictive.)

Whereas if they continue to let you proxy content internationally they'll lose their licenses for said content and Netflix will be gone.

Netflix don't benefit from blocking you. This move is driven by content license negotiations. Someone has told them to stop letting people outside of the US access that content, and given the fact that content acquisition is Netflix's biggest cost I can understand why they're listening.
Yep, also because I get most of that half content for "free" with Amazon Prime... If I quit netflix I'll save the netflix money and the vpn service money (or, at least, I can scale down to an anonymizer).

It's actually not true that there's never been a hard fork. I know the Core FAQ says that, but it's incorrect. When we moved past Berkeley DB to LevelDB, there was an accidental hard fork that revealed limits in older nodes nobody knew about. But those limits had to go, and so the change was attempted again in a more controlled manner some time later. So it was known that the network would start producing blocks that older nodes would reject. That's a hard fork. It was scheduled in advance and went off smoothly.

The idea that hard forks are dangerous or irresponsible is a belief that is not well supported. However it's a rather good piece of Bitcoin Core propaganda to scare people away from doing what's necessary.

If OpenSSL had used calloc() everywhere instead of malloc(), Heartbleed would have still happened.
I mean, reading zeroed out memory is not really incorrect behaviour anyway. If you know that it was zeroed out, then you're really just reading memory that was initialised with a specific default value.

That being said, zeroing out everything you allocate will make it difficult for the kernel's paging system to defer allocating you a physical page until you actually need it, so you will need to be a lot more careful with your allocations if your application uses relatively large amounts of memory and you need to work with memory constraints.

It's interesting that the author doesn't talk about insurance in the money sections much. I find I sleep a lot better at night knowing that if we do have a fire, or crash a car, or have a major health situation, or someone slips on our sidewalk and sues us, we have adequate downside protection.
I've enjoyed watching the Bitcoin experiment. It's been enlightening in a variety of ways, from technically to socially.

I've been fascinated and appalled in equal measure at the fanboy community, at the intolerance of criticism that sprang up very quickly, and how strong feelings ran (likely because of financial investment in the tech).

It's also been interesting watching it go from simple CPU mining, to multiple GPU rigs in dorm rooms, all the way through FPGA and then to massive installations of custom ASIC miners.

But I've always hoped it wouldn't go mainstream for two reasons - limited supply with weighting in favour of early adopters, and the massive electricity costs of the 'mining' and transaction validation process. Scalable, competitive proof of work systems for a widespread currency are an ecological disaster in the making, and deflationary currency with a handful of early users controlling a huge proportion of the total currency supply... these aren't "features".

I'll be very interested in what happens next, and for the reasons given I hope it's not just a BTC clone with better governance.

Nowadays, most computers use Little Endian, however, that might change in the future.
Also, there's no justification to write software only for one endianness due to speed(tm) or something. Learn to use the interfaces provided by the system (htons(),htonl(),ntohs(),ntohl(),...)
and when you specify interchange formats, specify an endianness.

Which one it actually is doesn't matter, there's not too much magic happening in the background anyway. Those people claiming "Little Endian Master Race" might probably jump on the Big Endian bandwaggon as soon as it became the majority for some reason.

In fact though, writing endian independent code is the way to go.

Now I can understand your argument. I upvoted you because I like to encourage clarity. This sounds patronising but that's the limitations of a text interface for you.

I think you're arguing that sometimes it's difficult to work out what the right tool is for the job. That's true, and not what I'm talking about. I'm saying that the principle of selecting the right tool for the job is sound, and that sometimes C is the right tool for the job and should be selected.
Human drivers have obligatory rest time - without them the goods can be transported faster and allows to keep smaller fleet. Also lets say that total cost of self driving equipment is now around $20k-$30k - that is huge % of car price but acceptable compared to truck price.
> Once driverless cars arrive, public buses will not make sense anymore.

How is that exactly? Buses have routes and schedules. How could you plan a schedule with cars if you don't know where everyone is going? You would have to have excess capacity, that's how. And those extra cars will be more expensive than the bus.

Please prove your point with examples.
i think encourage was the wrong word.

If you read the book reinventing organizations that describes holacracy you notice that the examples of successful flat orgs all had policy enforcers, people who forced sane conflict resolution and decision mechanisms and had the authority to do so, whether by dictatorship or by democratic vote.

- as of RHEL 6.3, LVM supports raid4/5/6 without mdadm. It has supported raid1 (mirroring) and raid0 (striping) for much longer.

- any LVM or mdadm mode with parity contains a functional checksum. To use it for data integrity, do a regular scrub. You should be doing a regular scrub with ZFS anyways, so ZFS's checksum on read doesn't add much except for slowing things down.

You can also use AdobeRGB with Farbfeld, but from my experience, those photographers shooting and printing in AdobeRGB with late CMYK export have Photoshop/PhotoRAW as their pipeline.
If you fuck one thing up trying to handle AdobeRGB in farbfeld, everything is fucked up, but that happens anywhere.

On the other hand, most photographers shoot their stuff in sRGB (for a fact, because sRGB is by far the most widespread).
I don't want to insult the professionals or something, I'm just acknowledging the fact that for the 1% using AdobeRGB there's no reason to complicate the format.

Ok, good point, but what are customers supposed to do with that information? Should they feel sorry for Netflix?

Never let emotions influence business decisions. You and the CEO may have a good relationship, but when push comes to shove, the cold hard logic of economics always comes first in business - on both sides. Be professional, say 'I've decided to take on a new opportunity, new challenges.." etc. Leaving the company in a lurch is only a positive thing - it will make them (hopefully) realize something is off with staffing or something else is not right with the business.

I have always tried to keep in mind the dictum that when you become essential, it is time to quit. Every time I've forgotten that, I have eventually suffered. It is a sign you are probably overworked, putting the job first for no reason (if you don't have equity) and probably aren't paid enough either.

Yes, in theory, smart people can set up their own VPN and work around it. But they'd probably be happy if the average user can't access it. I doubt their goal is 100% coverage, they'd be happy with 90%.
Good point, asking for a citation. It's an extraordinary claim and so requires something to back it up. A quick search turns up this quote from a 2013 Washington Post story "By September 2004, a new NSA technique enabled the agency to find cellphones even when they were turned off. JSOC troops called this “The Find,” and it gave them thousands of new targets, including members of a burgeoning al-Qaeda-sponsored insurgency in Iraq, according to members of the unit."

How  to Combat Social Anxiety
> how would that affect people using Netlfix while traveling?

"Tough"
Some thoughts:

1.They don't need to stop you on sight, nor cur your connection every time you connected through VPN. But if they can eventually detect your pattern, then disrupt it, which will lead to great inconvenience for you, and it will be sufficient to stop most of the users from using VPN.

2.They can surely use your billing information for this purpose, as it is case with Google Play.

3.Another thing to be remind of, a international user might not always use VPN for Netflix, likely they will switch back for their local content at some point. If such traffic switch happens, it is easy to detect for further action.

4.Again, it is quite complicated process I believe, and like all softwares, there are loopholes. But I believe their goal is to stop MOST common users from using VPN for cross-regional content easily, not ALL of them. This is quite achievable.
> So it sounds like your needs don't align exactly with perl's sigils anyway (and why should they? For different business requirements you'd categorize differently).

Indeed but I can write constraints in my function signature to permit this. Hell I can even define something as SpecialList[SpecialKey] if I truly wanted. Perl has a type system.

> Not with good language/design. Separate your concerns. Let the difference in behaviour live somewhere more appropriate - either on an object that contains the data (OO style) or in a callback you pass into the function (functional style).

Doing this in Python is an exercise in horror, frustration and hatred. Doing it in Perl is the work of a few seconds. That is my point.

Agreed. Most of the integer stuff is pedantry ("doesn't make it non-standard" -- who cares, the point being made was that these types are better). There are some valid and useful points being made, but most would serve better as caveats on the original article rather than straight out "don't listen to this".
The root problem with Bitcoin isn't the program, it's the money supply equation. Deflationary currencies fail exactly because they are too volatile, which is the anti-thesis of designing a currency to be held as an asset. Imagine currency like the oil in an engine. Someone needs to create a coin that rewards mining by giving them futures contracts on the currency and still deflating it.

Surely baseband processors are not based on seL4, since it currently has no realtime support (though it is in development: https://wiki.sel4.systems/seL4%200.0.1-rt-dev).

OKL4 is based on a kernel of the L4 family (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L4_microkernel_family#Commerci...):

seL4 is another kernel of this family that has been formally verified.

Ideally the value of currency should map to a fairly consistent value. If 1 unit buys a loaf of bread today, it's probably for the best it maps to one loaf of bread tomorrow.

If the amount of currency is fixed, but the economy grows, then the bread becomes cheaper. This has multiple effects, but one is to value work yesterday more than work today (work today will be compensated more poorly). Another is that it favours people who hold currency already over those that are actually producing useful economic output right now.

So in a growing economy, the currency supply probably should increase. It's arguable that tilting things the other way - favouring work today over work yesterday (or ten years ago) and favouring economic activity over holding cash - is desirable, so most developed economies aim for low but positive inflation.

This is my very simplistic understanding of why completely limited currencies are not a great plan.
and I think that is key to understand: Terrorism by definition causes an disproportionate amount of irrational fear but smart people and government officials should have a measured response rather than knee-jerk over-the-top spending

That's a legitimate way to look at it, but there are other points of view too eg. the choice is also between a rather limited user base and widespread usage once it becomes legal. I guess it could be argued that marijuana is already everywhere, but what about 'stronger' stuff.
Gold is used as carrying currency in places like zimbabwe where the official currency is too unreliable. People directly measure out quantities and weigh them, like in mining days but with more accuracy (digital scales). Presumably other forms of exchange are used for smaller denominations (goods for barter etc)
no, it does. Psychopaths are a lot more calculating, less emotional, and from how the OP wrote it, it seemed like there was a lot more emotional stuff going on with the trouble maker. I have a mother with borderline personality disorder, so I am very experienced with how these types of disorders look. The situation reminded me of my own experiences.

ok, I have no idea why I wrote schizoid. I was probably drunk at the time... I stand corrected on that. I still say 'psychopath' is the wrong term to use though. On the face of it, it seems to be something different - certainly some anti-social personality disorder.
