The thing is, if a piece of IP is not available in a country, and given the fact that it might be worthless by next season, is distributing that IP for free for that year in the country a bad karma? If anything, when the production house does license out in that country, they can run the current season directly as population has already watched earlier ones.

If anything, this should push production houses to work better with rights distribution. In India, that's already happening with "Premier" channels which run seasons alongside US counterparts. For shows that appear on now Premier channels, I have not torrented a single one. I am also sure that if not for rampant torrenting, this would have never happened.

Internet is a great leveller. Take a deep breath, let it in. By the time we all have gray hair, this will be long sorted out. You can't lock down IP by country in 2016. If you built a system that loses money if it leaks internationally, it's your fault. Next, try to build a business model that has more chances of survival than chances of sand retaining in your fist.

The real problem is that people still expect a century old business model to work. If it doesn't, they lose their minds.

If a tree falls in another part of the world, and nobody saw it, nobody visited that forest for 10 years, nobody wanted to use that wood, did it really fall? Did American oak planters lose money because of it?
For the simplest cases, yes, but even there you could easily find oddities with things like cancellation, bubbling, timing with regards to other events, support for various element types, etc.

If there is a market correction coming in the Bay Area tech world, then for many of us layoffs and plummeting home prices are likely to happen at the same time. I accept that unemployment is a possibility, and I accept the the collapse of the value of my assets is a possibility, but I'd like to make sure they happen separately.
Mainly because of speed issues. I often have 100+ tabs open and if every site loads a gazillion scripts, Firefox becomes unresponsive.

Anecdotally speaking, I had no idea that the average American was so close minded like this that he would reject a channel just based on its foreign name.

This level of language chauvinism is not healthy at all.

However, I truly believe that Aljazeera punched above their weight when they ventured into the US market and that they pulled the plug quite early for any meaningful results to materialize but I think that they could find some solace in the fact that other established players like BBC would struggle considerably if they entered the US market to make headway in this saturated and hyper-competitive market.
> content otherwise unavailable to them

if it's not otherwise available then how is pirating not 100% harmless?

Publishers should be aware at this point that they can either start dropping barriers to content access or people will just find another way.
I'm not, by nature, spoiler adverse. But the issue is that there just genuinely is only so long you can hold out from learning about a twist or a cliffhanger if you're interested in it. A shock TV moment is not good for each individual viewer, but works once for the whole population of viewers.

This works well as an aesthetic device for popular culture, where the purpose is in large part to catch the zeitgeist in the short term. I don't want to sound snobbish about this - Charles Dickens was a master of this type of thing, after all, and his present reputation as a Great Writer In English Literature would amuse and appall the snobs of his day, if they only knew. The best parts of mass popular culture endure after everyone knows he's his father, or its a sled, or little Nell dies.
Company culture is not independent of company size. Bureaucracy grows inexorably with size, probably super-linearly. Smaller organizations and teams are under fewer constraints.

That doesn't guarantee that a small team or company will have a fine culture, but the option is so much more available that the odds are higher.
JQuery got created about 10 months before I started doing professional web-development so it was there for my whole career, but I never used it, I just read a book written by its maker.

Till 2011 I had to use a framework that was a bit like GWT in PHP, because the company just had PHP and C coders and no one wanted to pay a switch.

2011 I started with JS and read stuff like "The Good Parts" and "Professional JavaScript". I wrote a JSON-HTTP-API and rewrote the whole UI in ExtJS.

Then I took a sabbatical in 2014 where I played around with Crafty, Phaser, D3 and continued my masters degree where I had to use Ember for a few projects.

Last year I dropped in a young project that was using React.

Funny thing is, all the time JQuery felt really old to me, so I never considered using it.

Couple of things that seems incorrect:

1. You are not born short housing. The population in western countries is growing very slowly and the new construction has kept up with it very easily. The problem occurs because of population movement. For example, massive people moving from many different areas to one single area.

2. Buying home is not always a value proposition. In fact, for most people it is actually not until late in the cycle and tax benefits more likely cancels out with other expenses like property taxes, maintenance and HOA. My feeling is that most people ends up cutting down other costs to compensate and thus they experience overall decrease in the living standards, however I don't have data to support this.

Why should I/they? If they're not willing to sell their (reasonably priced) product to me I end up with the choice: Don't watch it or pirate it.

If I don't watch it, they don't get my money and I don't get any enjoyment out of the product.

If I pirate it, they don't get my money but I do get the enjoyment. Also they get possible word-of-mouth advertising.

I fail to see any objective or moral reason as to why I shouldn't pirate in this case.
Actually, I think you've noted a significant issue: Pony looks to have been designed, at least in part, based on a sound theoretical foundation provided by modern type theory, semantics, etc. However, the documentation does not use the standard terminology of these fields. As a result, it is difficult to evaluate some of the claims that are made.
I spent the first 5 years of my career in commercial real estate where I met a lot of people who started with a single house and turned it in to massive portfolios. I asked every single person for advice on the best strategies and two points came out of those discussions:

1) Interest rates falling is the single biggest factor that allowed people to make a lot of money on real estate. (This is pointed out by the author and its worth rereading that section and really understanding it).

2) Geographic diversification doesn't work in real estate because its a physical asset that requires a hands on approach. Big developers / owners get big by buying locally and being ruthless about only buying things very, very close to where they live until they get so big that they start hiring (40+ units). Then they stretch out 1-3 miles and they don't truly geographically diversify until they get absolutely massive (200+ units).

I leave this comment as a warning for those who think its a good idea to buy a rental property in Vegas or whatever. Feel free to not buy anything in SF, but what ever you do, DO NOT ATTEMPT to geographically diversify by buying a house outside the bay area if you live in the bay area. It will not be a fun time.

I have found one advantage of startups as an employee if you want to start your own company down the road is that you get to see easy-to-make management mistake and their repercussions. In a big company, there are systems and structures in place that help prevent some (obviously not all) of those problems, and there is more buffer (financial and otherwise) to smooth out the effects.

Personally, I've found working at a startup deeply rewarding and educational, but of course ymmv :)

Business is all about relationships, especially in the case of Netflix.

Their relationships need to be beneficial to the content creators, at least until they can have a full-platform of self-created content, which I don't think will ever happen.

They have contracts with the content creators, which only allow them to show a movie/show in X part of the world or country. I would imagine if they want to show to another country, they need to pay more in licensing fees..and the profits/numbers probably don't make sense to do that.
Actually, I don't think the chainable API is terribly important.

The things that keep jquery alive and well in mind are:

* A convenient way to add to the DOM. While SELECTING elements has gotten way better than the Bad Old Days, ADDING elements is still painful. (one element isn't bad, but if you're trying to add, say, a UL with a number of LI elements, it's...tedious.)

* A good wrapper for Ajax calls. Not that there aren't better, but jquery has a perfectly good one. Heck, I've jqueryified a page to test calls I'm making outside of jquery because doing a call via console is...tedious.

* Promises. We'll soon have them native (and better), but for a long time jquery has been super convenient for this.

I think this is pretty trivially a poor analysis as it focuses on the median. Most of the real estate in SF is being bought by people who are seriously above the median and for whom this may be a much easier financial burden for them to bear. SF has a seriously non-uniform distribution of incomes and (more importantly) wealth.
My hardened ~/.ssh/config on OS X 10.11:

If you only connect to newer servers you can further restrict ciphers to only use AEADs (only list the chacha20-poly1305 and aes-gcm ciphers). I assume using AEADs-only makes the MACs keyword obsolete, is this correct?

Pony prevents you from writing that code. All communication between actors is by message passing, and there are no global variables. Check out reference capabilities.
I understand what you're trying to say, but you are stretching this a little too much. Netflix is not an example of open internet - wikipedia is - and sure as hell is nothing like the Library of Alexandria!!!
No, I don't think the similarity is big. Pony is all the way about asynchronous/nonblocking messaging. Rust with green threads was favoring synchronous/blocking calls, just like Go, which probably also suits the ownership model better.

So Pony might be better compared to Erlang with a strong type system and without a blocking receive method than to Rust or Go.
What incentive does Netflix have in shutting down proxies/VPNs? I'm assuming content owners bring this up in negotiations, but I wouldn't think it'd be a big enough deal to push Netflix on.

And how will Netflix accurately detect proxies/VPNs?
I think 1% to even 0.5% is pretty likely - at which price maybe you might have to accept something maybe 15-20% below market. I would love to see early developers at this stage get 2-5%, though I think that would be hard for some to push all the way through (past the CEO if applicable, board who has to sign off on the cap table and doesn't want the option pool to be too low too soon, etc).

But would it be fair if you are good and putting in that much work? Hell yes. But likely you're good, and hopefully the work/life balance isn't that lopsided either. Are you going to get it? Unlikely.
Actually it wouldn't. Most professions with high variability pay lower average wages than more stable alternative industries, this is a basic, well documented principle of hits businesses like the VC industry, upstream oil & gas, movies, and even drug gangs.
Helps to know a lot of people who aren't developers, and get them to complain about work.
It was (probably a poor) analogy, not a comparison. I was simply trying to come up with something else that is both understandable to me, and yet still mind boggling. I was definitely not attempting to conflate the two.

As for the rest, it's very possible that despite how much thought I've put into it, I'm completely wrong.

Offtopic, but your focus on the word "simply" made me wonder if I'd said it. I hadn't, so I'm curious as to the focus on it.

To me, if someone creates (or has) something unique, and doesn't want someone else to have it, then they should not. It doesn't matter to me whether it's freely available on the pirate bay, or locked up in their sock drawer; they created it, not me, and if they want me to have it, they'll either give it to me, or make it available to me to purchase.

Anything else violates their wishes on their thing.

> I think there is something else going on in real estate. This is the only asset class with significantly above average gains for decades

Home prices only started rising, in real terms, after WWII [1]. This appears to be driven by people wanting to drive more income to buying land, i.e. treating land as a superior good. Growing government intervention is also likely a cause. I'd caution against extrapolating two generations encapsulating post-World-War and -Cold-War booms too far.

Yes, that was my intention when making this project. I prefer the practice of making very small changes and committing frequently with opulent use of branches.

However, many of my peers and co-workers have a hard time following the small-commit workflow, so this project is really for them.

Being able to mark small (but significant) changes in your code as you code definitely helps reduce some ambiguity in commit messages.
The reason this bill is stupid/wrong is that it's based on the government being able to secretly look in your phone.

Spoken like a true economist (not that this is a bad thing). I agree with your first point, but I think you're wrong about the put option. It is not easy to "break even or minimize your losses" at all. Only if you're putting no money down would this be even close. Real estate is illiquid by definition and post 2008 nearly every foreclosure lost 100% of the equity built (and a major impact on your credit score).
When I say "born short housing", I mean you must acquire housing of some kind in order to just exist in society. It's not a "housing / no housing" choice, it's a "buy / rent" choice wherever you are.

> When you work in tech and live in the Bay Area, your life is already so positively exposed to the local economic and financial system, that buying a home is just doubling down on a (life) portfolio that’s already in need of diversification.

I wasn't buying the monetary arguments because the Bay Area is monetarily primarily defined by the startup scene, but this argument seems interesting.

The comparison to the oil boom drives it home.

As for "what defines a bubble", we really only know once it bursts... Otherwise it's a bull market!
It isn't arbitrary, but it likely seems arbitrary to many pirates.
Yeah, I mean, this is why comparing languages solely based on feature lists is a bad idea; it's also about things like idioms. It's more like, "in some ways, Rust was trying to be similar to Erlang, and in some ways, Pony is trying to be similar to Erlang, so in some ways, Pony and Rust are kinda similar." Emphasis on the 'kinda'.

(And I'm thinking about Rust _pre_ ownership model, here. And Rust does have non-blocking IO, just not in the standard library. It's not imcompatible with ownership.)

I don't use a car anymore but when I did, it was pretty useful at informing me of the traffic conditions between my home & work place (since my commute could go from 20 minutes to 4 hours depending on these, it had a true value).

That must have been a fun birth... I'm guessing C-section?

More seriously, being short means you have a position you need to buy in order to cover. Unless those builders are giving those new houses away, guess what, you're still short until you buy one.

Your other point, however, is very good. From a purely mathematical perspective, it doesn't always work out in your favor. But there's also a lot of intangibles that come into play with something as personal as housing.
What I want (and would pay for) in a proxy service is one that would use a different address each time, preferably from "normal" ip ranges for subscribers in that country.
Actually, probably not.
