That basic math illustrates things nicely but hides the real picture.

There's about 2 million people working in agriculture and 1 million working in mining in the US:

And about 5 million working in the energy industry:

Our widgets are built by machines.

This too is a facile picture of the situation, but our material abundance isn't particularly under threat from contraction of the work force.
The only thing about brutalist architecture I've liked is the over all shape of the buildings but the rest of the designs are just a nightmare especially when it comes to floor plans. I get that they want to strip away the excesses of previous architectural styles but a floor plan shouldn't be one of them.
The population was rising before the first antibiotic was discovered so I'm guessing that it won't make all that much of a difference. In general public sanitation made a much larger difference in the reduction in death by infectious disease since the 19th century than medicine has.

More liberal proscriptive moralizing. You can convince millions of people; the vegetarian/vegan movement is doing just fine thank you. But that's not enough - now we need to force people to think vegan?

And that article - full of vague attributions of harm and second-order effects. More cows means more methane! Just like when a hundred million buffalo roamed the US plains? Like that? But now its a problem? Or 'the US growing grain for meat means we're not giving it away to the 3rd world'. But we did that all the time - the US grows so staggeringly much grain we had to send it away in ocean tanker ships to avoid flooding our own markets. Using some for meat doesn't have to take anything away from giving it to others. What we lack there is simply the will.

And on and on - more vague attributions of meat-eating to theoretical harm. Why this strange argument? Because the author has a not-so-hidden agenda. We should all be vegan just like them. And they'll say any tortuous thing to 'prove' it.
Pretty much the same ones are missing on Norwegian Netflix as well.

Yes, also in Sweden and when I once tricked Netflix into showing the US library I kind of wanted to cry.

Pretty brilliant site. Unfortunately it locked up Chrome tight after I ran the 3d program and tried to close it along with running Wolfenstein.
The first two were actually making a good point. This website (yours, presumably) is just jumping on the bandwagon and sticking an affiliate link in it. I'm not against affiliate links, but this site lacks substance.
I think Animats might have a point. If each generation is more fit than the previous one on average, then it makes sense for a selfish gene to make its older carriers die rather than compete for resources with younger carriers. No idea about the size of the effect, though.
It's more complicated than that. Artists benefit greatly from repeat customers, so it's to their (and their label's) advantage to expose as many people as possible to their product. This will help drive future profits through the sale of albums, merch, and concert tickets. Movie studios are dealing with a much different dynamic.
Allow people to own dogs? I know where I live, many pet-owners who could have gone either way choose a cat just because there are almost no landlords who allow dogs.
Exactly. And as a bonus point, they can force governments to draconian DRM laws citing "billions of revenue lost to piracy".
My first thought is A programmer has an AI interface problem. The programmer decides to use natural language processing. Now they have two problems.

Natural Language Processing adds a layer of complexity on top of the complexity of the domain model due to the ambiguity of natural language versus the logical or statistical structure of the underlying algorithms and data structures. If those are right and working then adding a natural language interface can be a layer on top of the API. But it means getting two things right instead of one.

The use of natural language processing in commercial products is more in the nature of well refined consumer products than something inherent in AI. And it's probably worth keeping in mind that NLP has traditionally been an AI problem. It's just that like many AI problems, once it kind of worked most of the time, it stopped being considered AI and became a library programmers could use.
Who would expect anything else? They cost less than half of even a MacBook Air which is in need of a hardware refresh even more than the rest of Apple's notebook lineup.
You need to be pretty dumb to buy a Mac now. They're clearly the company's red-headed stepchild. WTF would I buy a 4 year old computer at premium price?

My business unit had gone Mac, we literally were faced with refreshing 3 year old devices with nearly identical devices. That's insanity. Our existing Macs were getting long in the tooth, getting pretty beat up and needed replacement.

We took a long hard look at our options, and decided that if Apple doesn't really care about Macs anymore, we can't either. We can't run our business waiting on some mysterious event to happen and sending staff to the mall at 5AM to pickup MacBooks when they finally refresh them.

So, we went with some of the newer, nicer HP laptops with Windows 10 and Linux. It was a hard choice, as we really liked the Apple platform. But we had to retain most of the Microsoft licensing (Core CAL, etc) for access to exchange, file infrastructure and it didn't really cost us more.

It pains me to say this, but Apple just can't execute.
It sucks that Netflix is pushing their own content as a solution. Don't get me wrong, some of their own content is great, but I don't want to subscribe to 10 different streaming services that all have their own original content, I want to subscribe to one.

Netflix--and others, like Amazon Prime--are becoming less and less worthwhile, and piracy is becoming more and more convenient again.

Wish I could see how bad the Australian one is.
Well, it's most likely some sort of licensing issue. If Netflix could show you all the same content that it does in the U.S. for the same price they absolutely would.

Why Eat Less Meat is a site dedicated to changing the conversation on eating meat from a divisive, emotionally-charged debate to a constructive discussion based on scientific evidence. The following pages list the major reasons to eat less meat, with each reason explained and supported by extensive citations.

“For every 100 calories of grain we feed animals, we get only about 40 new calories of milk, 22 calories of eggs, 12 of chicken, 10 of pork, or 3 of beef.”[3] In other words, our food preferences have led us to effectively throw away food on a mass scale.

The first sentence may be a correct observation which may be backed up by the citation (I admittedly haven't checked), but the second sentence is incorrect. The food has not gone to waste, it was converted from one form to a (at least for some people) more desirable form.

Despite Chromebooks not being real computers IMO, I'm heartened by the fact that these computers are cheap enough to provide access to students who could otherwise not afford anything, and now that we have even complex software such as IDEs and image editing software available through a web browser, hopefully the limitations of these won't even be real constraints for even advanced users.
It should be easy to port using the WebExtensions standard (implemented by Chrome, Firefox and Opera).

Different apex predators sometimes compete. Humans, for instance, can be eaten by lions, but we're apex predators nonetheless. The point of being an apex predator is that you're not a staple of anyone else's diet.
Maybe the big ones just can't come up with a way to compete with Netflix without destroying their old business. Customers want content with reasonable monthly fee, but that does not mix up well with dvd/blu-ray sales, rental business etc.

Supporting Netflix is of course also something they don't like, since the more monthly paying customer Netflix attracts, the more viable competitor it becomes. This leads me to wonder that could it be that studios did not originally even consider Netflix as their competitor?
Apart from getting rich districts and private schools to shell out for iPads, does Apple even have an actual K-12 story anymore? It seems like we've come a long way from the labs full of Apple IIs running The Oregon Trail and Math Blaster.
There's no one single service that can gather all movies. Netflix is moving towards creating their own content. Piracy will not cease to exist unless you want to pay many subscriptions to access all recent content.

41 dependencies isn't even that much.

I keep subscribing to Netflix, then cancel, then resubscribe.

Thing is I'm not subscribing to Netflix for those movies. Because I've already seen those. And yeah, once every blue moon I can get in the mood for some specific title. But that's rare.

Why I keep subscribing to Netflix and why I tried HBO Go as well is because of the TV series. And I'm in Romania, you can imagine how limited the content is down here, but so far they've had a couple of decent TV series that I wanted to watch. If they keep delivering those, then I keep my subscription. You also have the ability to subscribe/unsubscribe at any point, it's not like with HBO GO or other services where you have to commit to an annual plan.

I'm not sure - maybe it does but the idea itself is pretty simple so I want to get it out there. I see a lot of people spending time making their resume's "look good" instead of being more result-oriented. I figured if I could explain how to write a resume well it would help.

The book itself has more detail and a step by step (chapter by chapter) process to get a great resume written out. So it's mostly helpful for the lazy ones! :-)
Sorry, didn't think about that. Added a hint in the title.
The vast majority of your posts in this thread are variants on "You hate women, you cryptofascist". When presented with a lengthy rebuttal of your claims that cited a UN report on white slavery, your only rejoinder was to continue in this vein.

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I'm pretty sure that the compulsory licensing law that controls music distribution doesn't apply to streaming services like Spotify. If it did you wouldn't occasionally see work from high profile artists like Tayor Swift and Kanye West not appear on Spotify.

> 1) What's the schedule on the documentation for best practices for SLS in production?

These are the goals for the next releases, giving you better tooling and best practices to go from a few services to many services.

Thats still relatively standard, with good testing, CI, CD , ... but we'll also add more blogposts and docs around that.

> And lastly, What's the timeline on adding support to Google Cloud Functions (in alpha) and Azure Functions?

Can't give an exact timeline, but we're working with both to be ready once GCF goes into production and working with Azure to get support into Serverless as well. Really also depends on talking to more users to understand how they want to use those providers.
Sorry, but I can choose "Mac OS X" right from the "machine type" (It then lists a number of OS X versions from Snow Leopard up to El Capitan) when creating a new machine on VirtualBox 5.x on Linux, and I'm fairly sure it was the same on 4.x too. How is this "unsupported"? Don't know about VMware though.

Edit: I must add that there are no Guest Additions available for OS X, so if you go on and create the machine, it won't be able to benefit from decent graphics integration, shared clipboard, drag & drop support - but this is IMHO far from OS X not being supported.
You are basically saying that you can't "discover a personal favourite" when they are highly rated and talked by other people. That's probably the worst mindset for a avid film watcher.
I spent 5 years programming around those 8 fallacies for a web-conference company (ok maybe 3 fallacies reworded). Bottlenecks, network topology changes, different rules on different networks. Means you have to measure each connection and code multiple strategies. Probably should open-source that stuff, because its a growing problem and no sign of relief in sight.

Security will be awful. I'm an SS DBA.

For one they seem to use the single known account (sa) which we disable EVERYWHERE because it's the first biggest known most common target of attack. In fact it's dangerous to use because it will lock randomly when anyone inside the company or elsewhere runs a scan and attempts a few passwords on it.

Secondly SS is made to be patched. We get a new patch every single fucking month and sometimes twice a month. I spend 4 days per month simple patching SQL across half a thousand servers. This shit will never see it. Is this patchable? Not by any standard tools.

Is this even discoverable? Fuck no. Nobody will know it exists. We don't do port scans - we look for known SQL services and use the SMO WMI ManagedComputer tools to identify them. This will work with neither.

I've seen what developers do to their environments. Hundreds of copies of their databases. No backups (so logs grow and fill the disks and then I get called). No maintenance. Of course Express has no job scheduler so you're fucked anyway which is why I don't support it and instead move everyone onto Developer edition WHICH IS FREE.

Anyone using this shit is on their own.
The big screens and not-required data connections are convenient. There are also local oddities to GPS e.g. in Japan GPS are keyed on landlines and mapcodes (proprietary GPS-ish codes) not addresses.

Seems to work well for the Indie music crowd.
Are you suggesting Amazon is manipulating IMDB voting..just to have less of the top 250 on Netflix? Otherwise how is it relevant to note?
It's a little more complicated than that.

-There is a compulsory performance license that allows radio stations to play any music. They have to pay the song writers and the music writers (?) a fee based on a mandated structure but not the actual singers.

-There is a separate compulsory licence for Pandora like services where you can't choose your music and there are guidelines that Pandora has to abide by.

-There is no compulsory license for on-demand subscription services like Spotify where you can choose the music you want to listen to.
and nothing worth watching if you're traveling in Europe.

the problem I see with that is there a lot of people that follow directions well(Bill). Was Bill ever told to go off script? or maybe someone has a different supervisor that yelled at him for going off script.

Another problem is management doesn't realize half of the employees of 5 years ideas came originally from Bill but, Bill is introverted.

Not saying that's the case all the time, but I've seen management make assumptions because most hard workers don't brag about their accomplishments.

Yeah, I don't think this is quite right. I think the only real difference is whether you charge yourself up by spending time alone (with books or something) or spending time with other people.

Netflix's real value is in binge-watching TV shows. I wouldn't be surprised if movies just don't get the viewers to justify their cost.

As a non-stop Netflix subscriber since 2004, I've only streamed 1 or 2 movies in that entire time (although my kids have).

> They are the one responsible for the great Proxy/VPN banning this year.

At first, I thought this meant Netflix banning all use of VPN for streaming. Searching news articles shows in fact a Rogers VP rep had called on the government to outright ban VPN universally[1], but this was back in spring 2015. You are saying this has actually been made law and is enforced?

How did this pass when major corporations require VPNs, and I presume also government officials use it for sensitive communications?
