I guess but both the a la carte and PPV/VOD options do not operate as expected. The biggest issue is geolocation versus point of purchase, and it's very frustrating and often contradictory.

I live abroad and cannot use virtually any of my Amazon Prime since virtually every non-amazon original is blocked in the country I live in. When I was in the US, I could legally copy the file to my Kindle and view it anywhere (with the ticking timebomb that is the download expiry). While I understand the "technical" difference between this and streaming it while I'm abroad, I feel that it's splitting hairs - ultimate I'm using the same service to watch the same content, just instead of a browser cache it's temporarily loaded on my Kindle.

I understand we got here because of distribution rights,but what I don't understand is how it's still so consumer anti-friendly. I have no means of knowing whether or not I can view a video except to open it and check. With other streaming services, I have no idea whether or not their library is available in my country prior to purchase. It surprises me that this is not a function offered to let you browse the library and get an accurate idea of what you can and cannot watch. It may be a fringe case, but I would imagine for many countries, the idea of constantly moving back and forth between countries with different distirbution deals would be common enough that the support cases alone would justify such a feature.
Yes. The only way to long run sustainability is central control of population with mandatory birth limits or unlimited expansion of land area to extraterrestrial territory.

Otherwise evolution will always exceed its limits and produce a crash. Malthus explained it all mathematically 200 years ago, even before Darwin documented the mechanisms.
I forgot about that hamster dance website! Talk about something that was ahead of it's time...

Different licensing structure and cost in Sweden, and probably also different offerings based on the country and viewers. I'm sure the Swedish would like to see more Swedish content, which the US doesn't have any interest in.
You've reminded me of the Framley Examiner: http://framleyexaminer.com/
Actually not the children, as they are the expense

It needs the people in the productive age. Immigration of young adults is economically the best solution in short term as it leaves the expense of growing them up to the other societies.
As a women in tech. I'd like citations too. Because I'm not clear what article you are referring too,and the ones I've read in this thread and the medium article are exceptionally weak.

> Again, policies can change the distribution, but not the total number

Indeed, policies can change the distribution. If one of the 100 people is getting 800 of the 4000 widgets produced, you can probably make some policy adjustments before coming to the conclusion that you're not producing enough stuff.
So do chrome books have a terminal? Package manager? Can it run apps other than chrome (sublime text or vs code)?
That is why the analogy is wrong. If you're in a situation where you're definitely not going to buy it (because nobody will take your money and give you the product, for example) then there's no difference to them if you watch it or not.

Imagine I really want your car, so I take it. Or imagine I really want your car, so I use a magic wand to make an exact duplicate of it. Are those two scenarios at all comparable?
You may have to find a manual solution. Have you tried spawning a VPS in the US and connecting to it via Shadowsocks?[1] I apparently can sign up for an account when routed through such a setup and Netflix doesn't seem to think it's a VPN (this was a VPS hosted in Germany, however). I can give more details if interested.

They dont have less money than before because its either you cant watch it in this case or you watch it illegally. Nobody loses money, its lost opportunity at best.
...and there's the convenient, highly abstract argument. When wanting free stuff, no mental gymnastic is too hard.

I'm a pragmatist. I see folks wanting to avoid disappointment (can't see favorite show) suddenly becoming theoretical philosophers. Like a 12-year-old deciding their older brother's belongings really belong to everybody, because socialism or whatever.
In the end, the licence owners will lose. Spotify makes it useless to download music illegally because it's so much easier and pleasant to use spotify.

If they don't want to play fair game with Netflix, people will just keep / start again downloading the movies they want to watch, because it will be easier.
I agree, but it's conditioned on the fact that in the UK netflix never had good movies, it was all about it's TV box sets rather than movies from the start here.

Netflix UK doesn't push movies, I'd be surprised if it had more than 5 movies from the top 250, although the catalogue is so hard to browse it's hard to verify.

If netflix was previously advertised here based on it's movie offering I would be annoyed about it's pivot to focus on TV.
Actually, I'm ok with "pirating" it if they tried to legally get it first. Also, I personally probably wouldn't ask for a refund if I was going to watch it anyway- figuring that what I was doing was morally right I was just hacking the implementation- and the content creators would get their fair share.

I, like you, am disturbed by the "if it's easy to steal then it's ok to steal" argument. It really hurts people who make a living as creatives.
Because after having such a terrible experience they went with one that, should things go wrong, doesn't entail spending 35 minutes on the phone with support for them to get a refund?
I think it's interesting. The fact that it's written in Pascal takes me back to my youth, when Pascal was still commonly taught as an entry-level language in schools.

It's probably not for everyone, and the license terms suit it best for a hobby projects (LGPL or a more permissive license would be better), but it's neat that it exists.

EDIT: I stand corrected. It is released under the LGPL. That is permissive enough for more use cases when static linking is required.
>> 8. Don't go for a long period without output to the user... Outputting something like ’Processing…’ can go a long way toward reassuring the user that their command went through.

>I get the reasoning behind this, but as a heavy CLI user I'd prefer if programs didn't crap progress all over the terminal by default. If I want verbose progress, I'll pass `-v`. If I want even more insight into what's happening, I'll pass `-v -v`.

>See Rule Number 11 in TAOUP:

>Rule of Silence: When a program has nothing surprising to say, it should say nothing.

Agreed. In fact, informally, that rule goes back to much before TAOUP was written, I think. (TAOUP may have only formalized it.) I remember something like it from classic The Unix Programming Environment book (UPE, I first read it several years ago) which I referred to in another comment in this thread.

IIRC, in UPE it may have been phrased a bit differently, that's all - something like:

if the program succeeds (in some cases, don't generate any output, at least on stderr - of course if the program generates output as part of its normal behavior, like filters and some other programs do, then it has to write to stdout even if no errors).
The behavior of the cmp command (compare two files) is an example of that - it produces no output on a successful compare (the files match), only on an unsuccessful one (the files differ).

Also, part of the reason for the brevity of Unix commands and terseness of output, is supposed to be because the first Unix versions were actually developed on teletypes (which were like the old telex machines) for output - that actually printed the output as you typed commands, on rolls of paper. Video screens came later. And the same is the reason for the Unix editor ed's brevity, and even it's p(rint) command - you actually had to (physically) print the changed lines after an edit, to even see them ... :-) All in all, I'd say it was an even more incredible job to develop an OS like Unix under such constraints.

There is also pipe viewer. Peteris Krumins wrote a post about it a while ago:

http://www.catonmat.net/blog/unix-utilities-pipe-viewer/

You insert it at points in the pipeline and it lets you see the progress of the pipe.

And totally agree with your recommendation of TAOUP. The wording can be a little ornate / verbose at times, but that is just ESR's style. Worth tolerating it for the content.
It's not really equivalent. He paid for the product, but then the store wouldn't let him take it home with him. His end solution probably wasn't legal, but to me it feels morally just.

Actually as per RFC7168 a teapot may return code 418 to "denote a more permanent indication that the pot is a teapot".
Probably referring to asians(including indians). Outside of silicon valley, you see a lot of asian developers whose families came from poor immigrant families.
you don't even need lasers to shoot them down. They won't be able to jink very well, so a scatter-shot shotgun type of defense system would work very well. The real key will be to have a point-defense system with look-down shoot-down capability that can be deployed at enough distance from the protected asset to ensure that even a detonation of a nuclear hypersonic missile would cause minimal to no damage.

>Apparently in response to criticism, in April 2015 Facebook issued a second version of the Additional Grant of Patent Rights that softened the termination provision to say that the React software licensee would not lose its right to use the software under Facebook patents in the special case in which the licensee brings a patent lawsuit that is a counterclaim against Facebook or its affiliates that is unrelated to React.js. The second version of the Additional Grant of Patent Rights, in addition to the BSD license, is what governs use of React.js today.

Sorry, seems it only applies to counterclaims.
License dealings are often per-country, and there are different exclusive deals in different countries which prevent anyone else from offering some film or show on their streaming platform. There's a lot of legal overhead per country, unfortunately.
Sorry yup I conflated Open Source Tools and Open Source Companies into one. Vagrant, Terraform, Packer, Serv and all the other great stuff coming out of Hashicorp.
The Skype call is always in reference to a certain perspective of 'time-of-day'. So, you'd say: I will call you at 13.00 CET, which is 14:00 GMT at my place. When we move it to the next day, it will be in reference to CET and DTS will be taken into account in CET, not in GMT. As long as humans see time as a location dependent aspect, it makes sense to inform them of the reference that has been used (being the timezone). Another way to say this is that the Skype call, or the appointment, will be scheduled at a time and timezone of someone's perspective. The other participants need to see the appointment in reference of that.

The duration in milliseconds is (almost always) easy to find. However, you often want to find the duration in months, weeks, days, etc. etc. This again requires a reference timezone and calendar system.

Your 'type 2' day is actually very difficult to define. For example, when I talk about the 12th of October 2016, I will see it as a time-interval in central European time. Your time-interval might be different. By the way, you can only handle the daysInMonth case. Other examples would fail: weeksInMonth, weeksInYear, hoursOfMonth, etc. etc.

That's me, and a good chunk of the HN crowd, but there's also people that will be happy to buy in wholly to a single ecosystem.

And unfortunately, that's actually more justified here than the "I'll get an iPhone/Mac because I have a Mac/iPhone so it'll work better" mindset that I'll never understand.

> Without open protocols

That doesn't seem to be enough - Apple's HomeKit is... "extensible", shall we say; Amazon's Alexa has an open API; Google's Weave is an open standard, but the schema's pretty lax (vendors are "encouraged" to use standard identifiers like "toaster", but let's be honest, tonnes will use "acme_toaster"). ARM's mbed does enforce standard identifiers - using the LWM2M (`/:ObjectID/:ObjectInstance/:ResourceID`) format [0] - but that's four different systems and only the big players, so... https://xkcd.com/927/ (Standards).

You might not need (to write any) Javascript, but you might still want modern UX with some AJAX.

You can add AJAX to your application without writing any javascript code, and you'll get to use REST (with real, honest to God HATEOAS) without even thinking about it:

Ditto. I have a DVD Netflix plan, and streaming, and Amazon Prime.

Yes, it's ridiculous that in 2016, I'm still regularly getting bits via snail mail. DVDs are sometimes scratched, and my player often forces me to watch previews. It's terrible.

Except for the selection. Try this: go to http://www.imdb.com/chart/top, then start searching for those on https://dvd.netflix.com/. I tried a few, and they were all there.

I don't have crazy weird esoteric tastes, but I like to be able to say "hey, I heard that Movie X was good" and be able to add it to my playlist. I can pretty much always do that with the DVD service. I can pretty much never do that with streaming services. It's like, "oh, they have a sequel and a spinoff, but not the original."

I'm about 98% sure that the difference in selection is because of Hollywood being jerks about licensing, so I don't blame Netflix or Amazon. But as long as there's such a vast difference in selection, I'm going to keep renting DVDs.
2016 Audi here, same experience. Google Maps + Bluetooth Audio is far superior in every way.
A foot of light is necessary if you focus on a millionth of a foot of target. A longer bolt is acceptable if tolerances are looser than that. And they probably are. 5mm is about 1000X larger than that.
150 years ago, 90% of Americans worked in agriculture. Today 2% do and we are better fed. Population growth or shrinkage cannot match productivity technology as the key factor in material quality of life.

Countries with falling populations will just need more robots. Mass immigration isn't going to help, but this is one of those problems easily solved with tech.
And then rather than deal with the store again, you go borrow the copy your friend has that never spontaneously evaporated.
He already paid for it on Google Play, so then paying for it again on Amazon probably seemed like a slap in the face.
Because you go into a store and take something that store on longer has against its will. Copyright infringement is just someone else willingly duplicating data that you want, while the entity that holds a state granted monopoly to duplication (not necessarily creator) has not authorized the transfer.

One is robbery of scarce resources, one is a legal framework around imposing scarcity on something that is not naturally scarce.

You can steal a movie - in the traditional sense of the word - by breaking into MGM / Disney / Universal's internal network and copying the movie out from their own internal servers. This does happen, where scene releases of unreleased movies happen, often done by employees with access to get access to these films prematurely. That is the only situation remotely comparable to the shoplifting scenario, because in the normal piracy scenario nobody is not voluntarily participating (the original buyer of the movie who then shared it did a voluntary transaction, then violated the distribution terms given them when distributing it to others voluntarily).

Violating a contract and violence are on entirely different planes of ethics.
It is quite unlikely that generic Linux distributions will switch to musl as it lacks support of locales and NSS.
Very cool implementation, I really like it! - are you using anything besides Booking.com?
I don't know. I think there is a difference between applications and platforms like Adobe Software and Windows which often get pirated but at times hugely cost prohibitive to new entrants (e.g. students, young people) vs pirating movies/shows. I'm persistently left unconvinced by moral arguments on show/movie piracy, especially in an age where there's no shortage of new content being created, be it on YouTube, your local bookstore, or your RSS feed. I still have a huge backlog of podcasts/books to catch up, let alone movies I still haven't seen.
I have bought a lot of content (yo gabba gabba!) from Google play.

To an outsider, San Fransisco's policy towards the homeless seems literally insane.

My wife just bought a brand new Toyota Highlander and I can confirm that the nav system is terrible. I can only imagine how much that turd increased the purchase price.
I use the built-in GPS about 99% of the time. I keep a mount in the car just in case I need to use my phone for navigation, but that almost never happens.

The built-in navigation isn't great. It lacks some pretty obvious options (it doesn't offer multiple routes, and you can't give it intermediate waypoints) and its routing is occasionally stupid. Although the big screen shows Google Maps, the actual routing is done using an onboard database which is not as good as Google is. But it's good enough that the convenience of just using the big screen in the car outweighs the superior results I get from my phone.

It is getting better, which is one thing most cars can't say. We recently got the ability to have it avoid toll roads, for example, and while that really should have been there from the beginning, it's pretty cool that it can be added after the fact.

Navigation is one of the top complaints from Tesla owners in my experience, and I agree with a lot of those complaints, but it's not bad enough to have me going for my phone except in rare cases.
Exactly, added a small piece of text to the README about this today: https://github.com/serverless/serverless/#why-serverless
The movies in the 7's are more consistently appealing to me than the top 250. Some movies just become "great" so everyone gives them 10's or are more receptive to love them I think. There are some movies I love in the top 250 but also a lot of movies just get buoyed up from their "greatness." Just glancing at the top 10 I honestly didn't like Pulp Fiction at all and didn't feel the Godfathers were special. I almost always like a movie in the 7's that has a lot of votes.
Not sure, I think that linear scale is more understood.

My only complaint is that the graph 5 should have been ordered by the population growth rate because as it is now leave a bit distorted general picture.

If memory serves me correctly, Netflix's ongoing issues with negotiating access to major film studio or major TV network content without going broke spurred them into the business of 'content creator' status. I mean, they hired professionals and really just joined in the game their own way, and now they're piling up compelling, high-draw programming. Programming that would be going to AMC or FX or even ABC maybe. They're tapping into some film production as well, time will tell if the results are financial winners (that's the yard stick - not if people like it, does it make money).

I've been looking into film and TV production for years as an outsider and come across several mentions that Netflix pays extremely well and is incredibly picky about their productions. So they're in the game to play for keeps it seems. "Come for the Netflix originals, but stay for some binge TV or the occasional random flick like a big on-demand shifting library!" as a tag-line sort of works.
Except for the part where (s)he got a refund first. Then pirated it.
Javascript is not evil, evil is when it's used unnecessarily, and when your page displaying 4-5 pages of text starts out 2mb without images and becomes 15mb as I scroll to bottom because you're pinging various third parties for analytics and whatnot, and when I can't view you pages where the essence is a couple paragraphs of text but you wanted to render it via Javascript and I have it blocked and you not whitelisted, and when I hesitate to use my schools web services for important things that may affect my academic career but god knows what's gonna break when on that halfe-arsed website, and especially when you mess with my history (my pet peeve).

Could We Use Scents to Improve Our Health?
I worked with a development manager headhunted from Microsoft, who was quite worried about simple "Taint" from open source software (i.e. ideas gained from viewing open source code making their way into closed source software). I also worked with a company which wouldn't accept code contributions to their OS project; they would do clean room implementations to avoid the legal hassle of incorporating code which wasn't written for hire. So I can certainly see large companies being leery of utilizing software with licenses which don't include patent grants.

Perhaps it's less of an issue with the BSD style licenses, as explicitly called out in the article.
Netflix still ships physical media, and has a much wider selection than streaming.

Unfortunately many of the discs you get from Netflix are made specifically for the rental market and have been purposely degraded by having features such as 7.1 DTS-MA audio removed.
However, the article also points out that the measure doesn't provide any additional funding to pay for the housing that would be needed.
