I agree with the browser tab, this is annoying. I've tried alternatives for Mac: Current and Goofy (basically wrappers around the conversation page), but they're both quite unstable.
So far the best option was to keep another tab open, just switch from messenger.com to see only conversations without all the FB feed
Oh ok. So they're more interested in fulfilling the terms of those agreements than in actually preventing people from watching their shows.
>I wonder if Smart DNS proxy servers[1] will also be affected...

Why wouldn't be? Your traffic to netxflix is still being proxied, and the proxy server's IP can be trivially detected and blocked.
One milder way is to just start meditating daily. You can start with five minutes, or even one minute.
This is a legitimate question that many people reading the comments might be wondering. Why is it being downvoted?
"Let me push Alt just in case a secret UI shows up" is up there with XKCD's famous "change the screen resolution" troubleshooting strip [1]. It should not be a thing. But here we are.

And unfortunately, while the "change the screen resolution" is becoming less common, burying features in undiscoverable places is getting worse and worse.

What I hate the most about this is that (unlike aforementioned off-screen dialog bugs) designers/developers are doing it on purpose. Please stop! Other people have to use your software!

That was the idea, but it needs server support and the server side was never implemented in OpenSSH.

Netflix doesn't need to block 100% of proxies - they just need blocking that's good enough that people licensing content to them won't sue or withdraw their content.

Figuring out the IP addresses used by free and commercial proxies shouldn't be too hard - they just need to create some test accounts, sign up for the proxy services, then check what IP addresses their test accounts appeared to connect from. That'll block anyone who isn't technical enough to set up their own server.

If they're feeling enthusiastic enough, they could go further - for example blocking IP ranges used by big hosting providers and seedbox providers; and monitor the main forums and subreddits to learn about any new bypasses they need to clamp down on.
Well those work by resolving some domains (like netflix.com) to their own tunnel endpoints, which then tunnel to a different country. They can then just block the endpoints' IPs. It's actually not that hard to set up, I did it a couple of years ago to tunnel youtube (which is pretty crippled for music in Germany) and some other services not available outside of the US to a server in the US. The DNS server was in Germany to keep latency low.

This would not work either legally or technically, afaik (IANAL though). You don't get a copyright pass going into another country to use content you could at home, the restrictions are on distribution to you wherever you are.

But even if that weren't true, technically it wouldn't work because people would just share their accounts with people across the border, leading to a different form of the same outcome.

The only way this would work is if you were forbidden from using your netflix account outside your home country. This would piss off a lot of travellers (like me) who consider it literally a feature that their netflix account works in other countries, and are currently using the service in a legitimate way (as we see the local content wherever we are).
The point is that everyone voting yes is a possible equilibrium solution (along with the "normal" solution), so a priori there's no rule that tells you which one is the equilibrium the pirates would reach.

Well, considering the fact that on US Netflix I can access 6000 titles and local Netflix doesn't even have 500 (and most of them aren't anything I'm interested in) that pretty much just means I'll stop paying the subscription :/

Since there's pretty much no other source of most of the shows locally except for buying extremely expensive BluRays I guess people will just revert to torrenting.
Read the first chapter based on linux in 'Counter Hack reloaded' by Ed Skoudis. yes the book is focused on security however after reading it I found the file system in linux makes far more logical sense to me than windows.

I use a proxy service as the South Africa content library is piss poor , no use saying you are available in the country if you can only carry a small selection.

Naspers owns the satellite tv market here and they launched a streaming service months before Netflix arrived and signed up all the good stuff.

that's why I love "Reader View"
That only accounts for city vs rural. It never says where suburbs fall on that scale. If they are going based on US government definitions, suburbs are mostly considered urban (1000 people/sq mile or more).
At first glance, this seems a lot like elm. I wonder if anyone could point to a comparison of sorts?

Mercurial had a more familiar, but much worse interface than git.

More familiar because it was essentially subversions interface made suitable for a dvcs.

Worse for lacking (or requiring plugins for) features like the index, commit amending, rebasing, lightweight branches, etc.
Again the problem is cable TV. Hope it dies a quick death so we can move on to more modern channels of distribution.
Wow, that's an intelligent answer.
This is a pretty crass statement to make. If the focus is full-on navigability, I agree that contrast in the navigation bar is paramount. Yet, for many sites with simplified features, the emotional experience trumps the direct navigability of the site itself.

This is especially true for sites like Airbnb (as in the example) where in addition to emotional response, there is an immediate focus on activating users. The focus shifts from full navigability (logging in, become a host, etc) to searching for a listing.
I can only agree.
There was an early typo - fixed now.

That seem pretty atypical... I'm trying everything I can think of, and I can't get the CPU above 40% utilization (and that was just a temporary spike while searching a massive directory of files).

For me, Atom idles at 0.5% CPU. 10 files open, 130MB of memory being consumed.

I'm fairly sensitive to slowness for an editor. Earlier versions of Atom had too much noticeable lag. Recently, though, it seems pretty performant.
I did it 10 years ago. I left on day 7.
Overall, I'd say the experience was very interesting and unique.

When I managed to sit in the same position for an hour - I was ecstatic. I was also sweating profoundly and the pain was unbearable, yet I managed to just examine it, feel it, accept it.

I also remember having nightmares involving the meditation center - I clearly remember dreaming that building burning with huge flames and I was happy about it. It was a very vivid, colorful dream. My mind wanted to escape.

But then the most difficult part came. My wife was also in the group and we started being sexually attracted to each other starting with day 5 or so.
The inability to speak and even look at each other added to the sparks of desire that have been growing for 5 days of meditation, silence and abstinence.

By day 7 the attraction became electric - just a glimpse of her eyes revealed that she was feeling the same way - we were both fighting the sexual force ... Dreams became sexual...

We both fought the desire, but eventually we lost the battle - we ran away and had sex.

Although nobody has seen us, we felt like we cheated and we couldn't continue the course.

So we told the teacher that we can't stay anymore and she mentioned that usually they try to avoid married couples in the same course because of the sexual thing.

Another reason for bailing on day 7 was the feeling that I was being brainwashed into accepting this new religion/sect/whatever. The helpers definitely behaved very cultish and I didn't want to become like them - I had a startup to run.
So my mind had this powerful argument - "we're being brainwashed, we have to escape".

Anyway, overall it was interesting, even though I haven't achieved whatever I had to achieve on day 10, I think I learned a great deal of lessons about myself, about weakness, desire, love, etc.

If you have 10 days, go do it.

Building programming languages just for the heck of it is highly underrated, I think every programmer should at least try implementing a few languages of different paradigms.

Implementing a stack-based language made me write more readable point-free Haskell. Implementing a text-processing-oriented language taught me a ton about Unicode and Korean. Both are fun to work on.
It takes time for new technology to be adopted for this. Keep in mind the stakes, the extremely difficult requirements, and the expense of testing a new system.

Imagine trying to update the system to use a different technology. Then imagine how amazingly bad it would be if it didn't work as well as the old system. Or if it lost data when it shouldn't have. And so on. It's the classic system rewrite conundrum. You can rewrite a system at fairly low cost, but in order to bring that system up to feature and reliability parity you need to put in an order of magnitude more effort. And in this case you don't really want to deal with "early adopter risk" so you need to dump all that effort (read: money) in ahead of time.
Studios may already have setup distribution rights to other media companies in those countries. Universal Studios may give Netflix the Indiana Jones series for the US but Universal already has a distribution agreement with Company X in the UK for those films. They can't give Netflix UK the rights to distribute because there is probably a contract term that says Universal won't undermine Company X's distribution rights. Thus, Universal Studios has a contract term with Netflix US to block any other countries from watching those films otherwise someone is going to get in trouble. Universal Studios would need negotiate a new contract with Company X and take away their exclusive rights and give Netflix UK digital rights.
FWIW, having tried Elm, I was very impressed with:

1) Type checking... yay!
2) Awesome compiler error messages that help fix #1
3) Purely functional language with immutable data structures helping performance
4) Reasonably easy and well thought out encapsulation mechanism via modules

On the other hand I was put off by:

1) Very opinionated about design patterns with a react style gui framework
2) Signals are hard to explain and don't easily map to more familiar patterns
3) Not much (if any?) server side development

I think Elm would really benefit from something like built-in support for Qt-style signals/slots that are much easier for newcomers to grok and a much less opinionated focus on the one-true-react-style-design-pattern

But I could very well have missed something. Just my two cents.
Normally the solution is to have the NIC give you multiple receive queues and then tie each queue to a different core, meaning you get a packet on each core every time you clock them off the NIC. Increasing CPU cores gives you a massive win when you do that.

(On a hardware note, increasing cores and decreasing frequency makes the CPU look more like an ASIC :) )
Yes, the Tassajara Zen Center in the Ventana Wilderness. It really is a nice location but can get quite warm in the summer.

The retreat my wife and I did was "Zen in the Kitchen" plus an extra day to just unwind. Cooking, for me, is one way I do relax. We really wanted to do their Bread class.

The retreat structure for us was:
- meditation in the morning
- maybe something like Qigong or similar after that
- breakfast (family style)
- set up your lunch for the day (pack in tins/lunch box)
- morning session
- a break
- lunch
- afternoon session
- dinner
- evening meditation

It seems like sessions are informal, if you want to wander off and just hike, use the pools, etc, there is no problem.

Oh, and most importantly, the food is amazing (even as a meat eater).

This is more like "what it's like to join a startup at various stages". Perhaps the implicit lesson is to match what you're looking for to different stages?

>The reason is: if this reflects on "making more money" they will do it and fight to make it look right until they are challenge on court, as a result probably the fines will be lower than the earnings related to how they did it.

The reason behind this reason is that as long as consumers keep demanding cheaper products, companies will continue looking for ways to lower their costs. Just take a look at poultry farms, they are living hells, but people don't seem to mind it as long as they can buy 6 chicken nuggets for 99 cents.

We can't have the cake and eat it too, we have to decide whether we want companies to be responsible or if we want to pay less for the products and services we consume.

While it may be true, it's off-topic for an article called "Why urban highways destroy wealth". Inserting a discussion about race here is like going into an article about how Company XYZ is a bad investment and pointing out that their hiring practices discriminate against women. Even if true, it's off-topic trolling, but apparently this kind of trolling is OK here. Live and learn.
I somehow doubt you'll be able to persuade the young population to stop watching any shows (no other streaming services are available due to small size of the country here) or to start watching Mexican soap operas on broadcast TV.

Especially when torrents are readily available in HD and fiber internet connection rather widely available.

Also since most of the streaming licensing deals kinda forget about most EU countries except the 5 biggest ones, the sympathies towards the copyright holders are kinda running low. You can show a middle finger to people in a country so many times before they stop caring about your copyright licensing deals.

See reply below for what I did.

There are formal retreats during the late spring to early fall. There is a retreat fee and different sorts of lodging prices (from shared dorms to private cabins on the creek).

Some people just go to work and stay there at a reduced to minimal cost (typical work could be anything from landscaping to the kitchen to helping clean cabins). This sort of approach one stays in one of the dorms.

What was surprising to me is the number of people there. Monks/students probably between 80 and 100 with guests in the same range.

Tassajara Zen Center website has more details I believe. There are two other properties as well (in SF and in Marin County).

Can't really provide my own code, but I will say ng-repeat is heavy and resource intensive, because of the way it handles updates on digest, even though it checks for existing versions with a deep watch, and you probably want to implement pagination (see http://tech.small-improvements.com/2013/09/10/angularjs-perf...) or use something like quick-ng-repeat, possibly with server side rendering for the initial page to take advantage of server caching.

Thank you! Making such a post reminded me about all the good moments that balances for the hard ones. As you mentioned, this is a journey. You need to constantly keep going!
I am so sick of the implication that all data is equivalent, and there is some generic notion of "big data" that we generic "data scientists" can learn how to "mine" using some generic technique called "deep learning" that will give us all the answers we need like some kind of oracle.

I study biology. The shape of the data, the way it is structured, the problems we face in analyzing it, are quite different than the ones faced in user-news interaction data. Techniques that are useful for reshaping and summarizing one dataset are not necessarily applicable to another.
>There’s little to no information on the internet about it or its inventor, except for these photographs for a LIFE magazine article which may never have been published.

It's crazy to me that there is no record of this beyond these photographs considering how many people must have known the inventor, used this, or had friends that did, but then again I haven't spent much time in the pre-internet world. People looking back on today's daily life 65 years from now will have a lot of information.
As a super late followup:

This really cements the case that the poster above was stating.

no edge-case of an implementation can make its way into programmers' habits, something that tends to happen a lot with JavaScript.

There is code in the wild right now that fixes (perceived or actual) problems in the code's interaction with the V8 engine. And worse, that developer code no longer solves any problem.

whenever you have a non-local variable used as iteration variable in for-in then you most probably have a bug in your code.

Agreed, I'm pretty sure every linter would pick that up anyways. That's not really the cases that I saw though, mostly it was stuff where the key is needed in a function/closure (just threw this together straight in the text area here):

function Intercept(obj1, obj2){
for(var key in obj1){
obj2[key] = function(){
console.log('called: ', key);
obj1[key]();
}
}
}

Note that in the document I referenced, this was under section 5.1. I'm not sure if you would consider them being the same or not, but that's where it's listed in the document, so that's I how I cited it.

Same here. I switched from Amazon Prime to NetFlix for the better subtitles.

NetFlix Germany is already better than Amazon Germany, but NetFlix USA is the best.

Nah, if you torrent you show there's a market for these kinds of shows. The networks probably do track those numbers in order to decide where to license their content. By torrenting unavailable content you're showing there's a demand for this content.
