So after you pay for direct tv to get access to sports, and netflix to get access to this premium content, and hulu to get access to that premium content, and amazon to get access to the other premium content, and cable to get cable channels, and hbo to get access to game of thrones, it's a little bit more than the price of a burrito.

I would not stand on morality for an industry that thrives on economic inequality and lack of diversity.
thats really amazing - are there size limits?
You'd think but even historically that's been pretty rare. It's so family focused that a large amount of content isn't appropriate for their audience. I thought Freeform (formerly ABC Family) was going to get some of it, but I guess guaranteed revenue from Netflix is worth it in a world of declining cable subscriptions.

I've been using Serverless and I'm finding the request and response mapping to be extremely tiresome. If you're used to a modern HTTP framework like Express, Lambda+Serverless ain't even close.
I cancelled too and one of the reasons was their goddam awful UI. As they lost their back catalog they decided that they couldn't let you see what they actually have available, they had to hide their thin selection behind a crap UI. Whatever, fuck holywood, until I can get "spotify for movies" there's always torrents.
The issue cannot be as absolute as you have framed it. For example, laws agains consanguinity (having a child with a close relative) "prevent certain kinds of people from even being born".
That's a very silly assertion to make, their content delivery costs are likely several orders of magnitude higher than their storage costs.

However, as others have pointed out, these moves are about licensing deals with the content providers.

Edit: My point is that storage cost of their content is basically a non-factor in their decision making process.

Bed Stuy. I'd look there, Bushwick, eastern Crown Heights, Ridgewood, and similar neighborhoods with quick travel to Manhattan and near trendy areas. Bubbly? Maybe, but if your rental income covers or can cover the mortgage then it doesn't matter, is my rule of thumb, it's a great deal. The city has 500k more inhabitants in between 2000 and 2010, rent has only one direction to go given scarcity of housing - - while mortgage costs are fixed! I figured land had to be a good idea to own given that. Crime is more of a concern at the moment, I think the investment is solid.

If you like, try playing this album some time, as background ambient music:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfHCt5z1kd8 (Brian Eno - Neroli)

Without fail, it makes everyone in the room talk more calmly, at a quieter volume. It's one of my favourite ambient albums ever (if anyone knows more of something quite like this, I'd love to hear suggestions). It even works on children, I work at a youth centre, just playing it over a relatively shitty PA can calm down an over-active morning in 5-10 minutes.

Wow this takes me back – 2007, those were the days. Back before so many flagship projects had frankensteined libLLVM into their innards; before every single JavaScript framework was required by law to include at least one CLT whose executable name ended in 'c'; back when GCC on Apple was just a matter of /usr/bin, and not a parade of endless Homebrew formulae PRs… srsly dogg this is an excellent article, a product of its time but a bonafide bulwark, presciently on the precipice of paradigm. I +1'ed.

Fine, then prioritize what you want to pay for. Don't resort to stealing your entertainment. We aren't talking about a necessity of life here.
It does not necessarily follow that if you disagreed with the media industry, you would not consume their products.

That's in a class of arguments that include statements like "If you disagreed with the use of your tax money, you would not pay taxes."
Or "If you disagreed with the agricultural industry, you would not consume produce."

I'm hoping the opposite will happen. That the advent of strong AI will bring us better ad blocking technology, that may even block ads using augmented reality techniques. Imagine all ads in real life replaced by beautiful paintings :)
> annoy the hell out of the average consumer

Conversely, the more market power netflix gains, the better they can negotiate with more rightsholders for more content while piracy -- as a free grey market alternative -- hopefully keeps them from abusing their position too much.

> I'd suggest Play Framework and abandoning the idea of O/R Mapping entirely.

Then I'd have to learn Scala. I do not want to have to learn an entirely new stack. It took years for me to learn Ruby's eccentricities. Sure it would take me less time to learn Scala, but I already know Ruby. You seem like quite the masochist, spending years in one ecosystem trying to build something, then burning it all to the ground and starting all over. Just looks like so. much. effort.

> you'll never want to see another Ruby case statement again

I never write case statements in Ruby. What I do when I find myself needing a case statement is to go looking for the missing class. I'm missing a domain element and OO programming to me is all about clarifying a domain.

> Once you compose a pipeline of functions you'll find Ruby Procs a pale shadow of true functions.

I pipeline all the time in Ruby. A lot of times I'll wrap a data pipeline in a class so I can encapsulate the logic and manage it better. When you wrap a pipeline in a class, you can do things like add immutability to the instance variables. Sure, it's not true functional, but I don't want true functional.

> You'll end up with more maintainable code, a lower LoC count, easier testing, more mature libraries, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Let's take these in turn.

> more maintainable code

I love maintaining my code. I fail to see how learning a new stack could actually improve on this for me.

> lower LoC count

Mostly aids in maintainability. Again not at the top of the list of things to improve.

> easier testing

I've changed my approach to testing over the years. Again, this is not anywhere close to the top of the priority list.

> More mature libraries

Again, this is something I've fixed by changing my approach to the problem. Whenever I introduce a gem, I put an interfacing class between the rest of the app and the gem. That way it's easy to swap out if it becomes a problem.

> And then you have deployment.

Deployment sucks in Ruby, not gonna lie. But again, problems are indicators of overcomplication and I've tuned my workflow to drive more simplicity over time. I know Capistrano very well, seeing it evolve over time has given me a keen eye for how to keep it manageable.

On the whole, I like the idea of functional programming and am not opposed to coding in a functional style once in awhile. HtDP changed the way I thought about programming, though I eventually switched back over to OOP. I strongly disagree that there's any kind of magic to functional. Everything in programming involves tradeoffs, and OOP better fits my mind than functional does. I look at pure functional as math-heavy and harder to grok. I want stateful objects, because humans think in terms of objects and not data pipelines.

> The learning curve isn't the smoothest

That one issue outweighs all the purported benefits of all the others. I would much rather spend my time thinking about domains than learning new tricks.
What is the point of this? Shouldn't your configuration management tool be pushing the right accounts to the right servers?
Generally today the cost of an exclusive license is more than the cost of the sum of all possible non-exclusive licenses. So for the creator it's more profitable to seek an exclusive license.

It's true that "Wider reach = more potential users who pay for it" but it's the amount they pay that's more important.
The extreme isolation here got under my skin. The immediacy and tangibility of all these illusory elements is frightening, particularly for children born into this environment.

>Why shouldn't content creators get to choose where they sell their content? Should Tesla be forced to sell its cars through GM and Ford dealerships so you don't have to go to more than one place to go car shopping?

This is addressed by something called the "first sale doctrine", which states that IP holders only have control over the direct sale between themselves and the other party, and cannot exert control over second, third, or later sales.

Tesla, of course, is not obligated to offer their cars for sale in any particular venue. They cannot, however, stop someone else who possesses a Tesla car from offering it for sale either as a private party or through a third-party dealer. This is why you can go to the Ford dealer and leave with a used Honda. Honda didn't give that car to Ford, but it legally came into the dealer's possession through an intermediary, and thus, the Ford dealer has every right to sell it on their own terms.

The difference here is that we're discussing direct physical goods that may contain intellectual property, whereas Netflix and the internet remove the necessity of the physical medium. This is really where our existing technology access laws begin to fall down. They just do not adequately contemplate a world that does not require transactions of hard physical tokens to exchange substantial sums of information. Of course, the very fact that computer networks don't require that is what gives them their power.

>Anyway, the alternative would be worse. If there was no reason to pick one streaming provider over another on the basis of content, one would quickly become a monopoly, which would be bad for both content creators and consumers.

I don't think this makes sense. Just the opposite is true. If everyone could license the content at a reasonable price and show it on their streaming service, the best streaming service in terms of actual quality would be able to win. Under the current regime, if you don't have both the capital and the clout to spend months in secret meetings with the big media companies, your video streaming startup will simply never gain steam at all. It's much better for the competitive landscape if everyone is legally allowed to show the content.
He was using the english word demand. In that these college graduates will demand (require, insist upon, refuse to work unless given) more money to accept given position. Applying jargon to an english sentence is a pointless and frustrating exercise.

You're asserting that with cable you can watch what you want when you want? Never had that cable subscription.
Well, there is a variety of possible answers here. Giving the direct integer ("1", "23") to a simple deep network won't work.

- RNN with LSTM might be a better approach, since it will more based on the value of the ordered bits than their "disposition", and could scale to an arbitrary high number.

- @zardo mentioned Pointer Network (https://arxiv.org/abs/1506.03134). It looks to solve this kind of problems but honestly I'm discovering it now.

- Give the base 3 and 5 of the input would be the fastest solution. (but since it's kind of hardcoding part of the solution, it's more a trick than a general solution).

Can anyone correct me what if I got something wrong here? Did I missed something?
It's written in Ruby like Github, but the latter have considerably more experience running high-traffic systems.

A controversial theory may explain the real reason humans have allergies
Clearly statistics terminology is confusing you. The definition of bias is E[\hat{\theta} - \theta]. The definition of disparate impact is a predictor computing different means/quantiles for different protected classes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bias_of_an_estimator

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disparate_impact

To understand this intuitively, here's a simple thought experiment.

Consider Captain Hindsight, a predictor which returns the right answer 100% of the time. By definition, E[\hat{theta} - \theta] = 0, i.e. zero bias. (Also zero variance.)

Now suppose that blacks have a higher recidivism rate (hardly implausible, ProPublica's analysis suggests they do with p < 0.01).

Captain Hindsight - being 100% accurate and having no bias - must predict that blacks have a higher recidivism rate. Yet because Captain Hindsight predicts a higher recidivism rate for blacks, he now has disparate impact.

Seriously, you are calling standard mathematical terminology Orwellian? What's your angle here?

Description is a little misleading, I was expecting to see something sinatra-like but found something rails-like. It might be more apt to call it "The lightest full-featured ruby web MVC framework".

Obviously that doesn't make for a good tagline, maybe: "A full-featured yet light-weight web framework, for Ruby."
Where'd you read this, I'd love to take a look.
Lately I wear my headphones at the grocery store, and on the train. Part of it was culture shock; returning to the US and suddenly being able to understand everyone in a room, all the time. It was super overwhelming.

Now I keep doing it because I hate people. I hate human interaction. I hate the shitty music and adverts I hear in grocery stores. I prefer the self checkout and I can usually pack my bags better anyway.

Yes it should. Why would you support something you don't agree with? Taxes aren't a normal good because we don't get to choose whether to consume. A segment of Vegetarians do not consume meat because they disagree with the meat industry. People boycott things all the time.
You shouldn't be relying on your config management system for access control -- requiring a config push each node each time you hire, fire, forget a passphrase, or rotate a key is just asking for disaster.

Push your access controls out to a central directory. Personally I'm a fan sssd/ipa for this, but teleport looks like a neat solution too.
Doing full stack development you naturally learn what is good UI/UX which I think is more important than design.

Focus on UI/UX rather than learning design.

True Designers can come in and polish it up further if needed.

Having a good eye for what looks good and what works for users is a great asset.
In essence it tries to be a framework like Rails, in that it is all inclusive, but without all the "magic" that has been discussed about Rails lately.

Most things are just plain old ruby objects and you include the modules you need. This is an oversimplification, but for example: When I build out controller actions in a Rails app, I typically will break out complex actions into service/action/command classes. This allows me to test the logic in isolation from the controller, and allows for true unit tests without need to actually make real requests. Hanami, on the other hand, right from the get go, makes actions there own classes for this very reason.

Also the idea of an "Application" is a bit more vague. Your main app is more a meta-app. This, in theory, helps you develop separate service like applications that are then mounted within this meta-app. This may make it easier to break out into actual services later on.

If you just follow "Rails conventions" and the app is long living, it can get pretty damn unwieldy. I guess the idea here is you can follow Hanami conventions and the app will be more maintainable even at large sizes.
> It's also the way the market should work. Content creators are selling a non-fungible product. Streaming services are to a great extent, fungible, like retailers. In fact, as content creators get their arms around streaming, I expect more of them to set up their own "shops" instead of relying on retailers, in the same way Apple and Tesla do.

The problem with this argument is, financially, I'd be willing to pay $NN/month for access to everything in a single distributor like Netflix.

If the effort required to stay legal exceeds reason [which is what you are suggesting with N channels purchased separately] why bother?

I've honestly reached a point where I'm completely indifferent to anything that isn't already on Amazon Prime or Netflix. Create a dozen distributors and people will just pirate things.

The step from VB6 to VB.NET is far from “modest”. There are many fundamental differences between the two. For the most part VB.NET is a strict improvement over VB6, but there are a few things VB6 does better than VB.NET:

(0) Reference counting: VB6 cleans up arbitrary resources (not just memory) in a deterministic fashion. Think RAII, minus the dangling references and associated gotchas. In business application programming, not worrying whether you closed database connections in the right places is a major productivity boost.

(1) Programmer-defined lower and upper array bounds. You iterate an array's index range with `For idx = LBound(arr) To UBound(arr)`. It's as clear as it gets.

(2) Dyamically resizable arrays. VB6's `ReDim` doesn't give you a new array object - it really changes the size of the existing one. By contrast, VB.NET's `ReDim` is just sugar for replacing a fixed-size array with another, which is why it can only be used locally inside a method. The officially sactioned solution is to use `List`s, but `List`s can't be multidimensional.

Nice, maybe I should take another look. I really dig the idea. Might of just been bad timing.
> I was taught it is not literal but symbolic of having to profess a heretical belief to participate in commerce with the hand / head position relating to the way you professed the belief.

I remember something similar from a course I took in college, perhaps, or something I read later. Whatever it was it went even further with the symbolism: the idea was that the mark on the forehead represents the way in which one thinks, and the mark on the hand represents the way in which one acts. The takeaway was that it wasn't so much that one would be forced to make a claim of some sort in order to participate in the system of commerce, but rather that by participating in the system one is already marked by it.

I liked this interpretation because it changed the emphasis from one of watching out for some piece of technology or some bitter-tasting oath that you'd have to profess--both of which seem like they'd raise red flags to even the most casual Christian and are therefore unlikely to be much of a real threat--to one of looking inward and evaluating how your own participation in any system of exchange is subtly affecting the way you look at the world and at other people. (You can also see how this isn't terribly compatible with the brand of prosperity theology that has infected some branches of American Protestantism.)
Well, that was why I got Amazon Prime, and then they introduced ads. Albeit only ones for their content, but I didn't want to get constantly "informed" about a series I'd already completely watched between every damn episode of the thing I'd chosen to watch. If I run out of stuff to watch on Netflix I doubt Amazon will be my next port of call
