I do not buy this for several reasons:

1) Content production is rapidly moving to an "in house" model, where subscribers are more heavily influenced by original and exclusive content

2) I doubt there would be large transfers of subscribers, more a slight depression across the board and large increases in piracy, as we saw rather distinctly with the early days of music providers (like before itunes early days)

3) Google and Apple each by themselves are worth the entirety of Hollywood many times over. I think it's less them having little leverage, and more them playing a longer game and not caring about DRM battles in the short term.
So, I don't get it. There are obvious issues here:

Angular ribs cause stress points. Good CAD software should tell you this.

Some metals are able to flex a small amount repeatedly, forever, without cracks. For other metals, "small" is just zero. Any flexing will eventually create cracks. Aluminum is a bad metal. Titanium is a good metal. Steel varies; unfortunately the good types tend to corrode.

You have aluminum over titanium. Putting dissimilar metals in contact encourages corrosion.

Mars is known to contain perchlorate salts. This is horrible for corrosion. Note that corrosion encourages crack propagation. Oh, and Mars has other stuff to not mix with aluminum: iron oxide and chlorides.

So what's the alternative, exactly? Before EME, you needed Flash or Silverlight to view DRM-ed content like netflix. Someone making a brand new web browser would similarly need to support a Flash plugin or Silverlight plugin to compete. Such a developer could choose not to bother with a Flash or Silverlight plugin, but couldn't they also choose not to bother to implement EME? What's changed?

That commenter appears not to have heard of browser detection or UA sniffing, it has nothing to do with feature detection, they're a completely different method (and paradigm).

Nor should browser detection cause Firefox to follow a different switch in the code when on a different OS, not since about version 2 when I think there were bugs making that useful.

Really browser detection was something needed to handle MSIE way back in the day, or possibly other browsers before web fonts.

But this ain't browser detection, definitely not feature detection, it's OS detection - the system responds differently when only the OS in the UA string is altered.
..which would indicate that the marginal value delivered by the DRM is zero?

Your argument is that EME covers most of the code responsible implementing DRM. This is false. EME is a small part. The large majority of the implementation is not standardized. For example, there is no equivalent of NPAPI in the post-EME world; the CDM/browser interface is browser-specific.

Programming languages have gradually evolved into higher levels of abstraction, but they haven't consistently become more humanlike.

You can't fully understand human language with anything short of Strong AI. And yes, we made some progress in our ability to extract specialized meaning from natural language with high level of accuracy for things like translation or indexing - but we didn't get any closer to having computers understand and reason about the meaning of the text.

In short, to say that we're rapidly getting to the point where computers can replace programmers in understanding natural language requirements and designing programs that achieve these requirements, you need to show consistent progress in general-purpose AI.

I agree. I don't believe Java is a good first programming language. I'm just tired of posts bashing Java by citing code that doesn't take advantage of any of the improvements in the language since 1.4.
Lisp's support for numbers goes beyond automatic bignum promotion, for example (/ 1 3) gives the rational 1/3 instead of an approximation, and (sqrt -1) gives #C(0.0 1.0), that is, 0 + 1i.
It seems most likely that they do testing on exactly the browsers and operating systems they say they support and no other platforms and do not want to expand the list because they'd have to provision more environments and do more testing.
Good point. In the do-over category, starting out with a small business that could recalibrate at $500k/iteration instead of $30m/iteration might have helped.

Agreed. 100 people manually managing the forest for their needs is a bit different from 10 companies using machines to level it faster than it can be replaced.

The problem is people aren't explained "this is what is happening" on the regular.

We're, purposefully, distracted by the news media and other power structures.

If CBS or NBC had to air content that showed and explained what's going on, how rapidly we can wipe out an entire regions biome, the world would be a different place.

Instead it's waved away as "but that would be interfering with free markets! Just listen to what this pundit says about stock markets!"

SpaceX is interesting and hugely impressive -- I'd thought the prospects of flying a stage back under rocket power were nil and am openly eating my hat given Musk's accomplishments here.

That said, I'll maintain that outer space is, net net, a sink, not a source, and that there is no Earth2 within reach. At best we've a handful of solid bodies, most of which are moons of Jupiter and Saturn, and possibly some interesting mineral resources.

The fundamental problem we've got to tackle is one of understanding the concept of, assessing the magnituded of, and living within, limits. I don't see much sign of that having happened.

As for the economics, there are a number of places at which I depart sharply with orthodoxy, and I'm trying to assess just what those are. There are a few economists from whom I find some agreement and inspiration, though that's only a few, and going through and assessing theory is time consuming.

> Finally, $11 per burger is still insanely expensive

Yeah, the price ($80/kg) is apparently quoted down to a quarter-poind burger portion of bulk "meat"; it's about $44/lb, which is around 11× the average retail price of ground beef (about $4/lb.) [0]

> I can get a burger, with bun, cooked and handed to me on a platter for $1 at McDonald's.

To be fair, the "hamburger" on the McDonald's menu is a 1/10 lb. (precooked weight) patty, which is much smaller than what is priced out.

This logic is all based on not having any ethical concerns about doing something the user didn't intend to participate in. If you don't care about ethics, then you could just extend your argument to say that exploiting vulnerabilities in the user's browser to install tracking code directly into the binary is acceptable as well.

Are you okay with that logical conclusion?

>The only contrary argument is that companies should be forced to respect the user's wishes, just because the user wishes for it. That's not how the world works.

It actually is how much of the world works. What ends up happening is people with no regard for ethics keep abusing this until regulations get passed to force people to stop doing things they know people don't want.

You don't see in what sense forcing the implementation of DRM into an open standard (HTTP in a broad sense, which includes HTML, JS, etc.), that has been developed for the past decades in a rather open way so your company can keep making profits could be "freeloading"? Not to mention setting it up in such a way that their part of the web is broken if for some reason you do not have their blessing for their DRM.

Netflix came in and screwed over everyone, in a way that is just as bad as Flash.

Sure, use the TCP/IP stack. Send your data over the internet. Make your own software based on that, it's just a transport layer and it screws no one else. Except they seem to be pretty damn awful at it, considering how comically bad all their desktop apps are.

Now that is an interesting question. A few years ago when I tried compiling and running a C# program on Linux/Mono it worked fine - and I'm no Linux expert to be able to debug hairy problems, so it had to work pretty much out of the box - and I'm told things have improved since then, but for all I know, there could be problems I'm not aware of. Have you run into any?

The "Russian threat" isn't backed by the size of their military. It's backed 1) by nuclear deterrence and 2) their large and deep network of diplomatic and political relations.

Russia could have taken over Crimea with a couple of tanks, and some minimal army they could at least theoretically assemble were Ukraine to, alone, respond. They basically did take Crimea with just a couple of tanks.

Within Russia's traditional sphere of influence, it's understood by everybody that no Western power would ever directly challenge them. That understanding largely rests on the nuclear deterrence and the desire to avoid direct military conflict between nuclear powers.

Russia's flex in the Middle East is largely made possible by their political relationships, kept intact by the fact that China has focused on Africa, rather than the Middle East, when filling the power vacuum left by the dissolution of the USSR.

Russian military spending was always principally intended to solve domestic political problems. Much more so than in the U.S. The reduction is good for the Russian citizenry. It's largely irrelevant in terms of their international strategic posture.
Having consumed a decent amount of his content, there's a bit of context to this - if you're complaining about not being successful as an entrepreneur, you're not doing enough work. He has said before that if you want to work 9-5 and find good work-life balance, then that's great and you should do that and that there's nothing wrong with it.

I honestly don't believe that he took less than a weekend off during his entire twenties. The way that statement comes across to me is hyperbole used to drive home the main point of "stop complaining and trying to look successful, and start working".

At ~12:50 he also says "it's okay to enjoy a little bit now too" and that the advice he'd give to himself at 25 is "go have fun". He tends to provide more realistic advice than a lot of other people who produce this type of content, at least from what I've seen.

Again, I don't think Java is a good beginner programming language, but this version:

1. Avoids try/catch syntax, and in fact can defer mentioning exceptions entirely (at the cost of the "throws" declaration being a mystery, which the main function already is to a beginner)

2. Does not require understanding of loops. In fact their example loop is particular egregious in its use of assignment in the loop condition which is especially likely to confuse beginners who are still learning the difference between "=" and "=="

3. Does not require introduction to Java's Reader I/O abstraction

4. Does not require familiarity with null references

I'm not saying my version wouldn't be confusing for beginners, but it would be hard to write a worse version than the one they give.

That is a special case of an even more amazing result.

Given a polynomial P(x), any expression that can be written as a symmetric polynomial in the roots of P, can be written as a polynomial in the coefficients of P. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_symmetric_polynomia... for more.

This applies to arbitrary rings. So if P(x) and Q(x) are both polynomials, then any polynomial which is symmetric in the roots of P(x) and also symmetric in the roots of Q(x) can be written as polynomials in the coefficients of Q(x) and P(x). Therefore, for example, (x-sqrt(2)-sqrt(3))(x-sqrt(2)+sqrt(3))(x+sqrt(2)-sqrt(3))(x+sqrt(2)+sqrt(3)) will work out to be a polynomial in the coefficients of x^2-2 and x^2-3. It will therefore be an integer polynomial with those 4 roots.

This is actually the original way in which people proved that the algebraic integers formed a ring.
Aristotle would have been OK with that. Work simply is "non-leisure" and therefore shouldn't be aspired to per-se.

In this potential world of abundant leisure we just need to get back to good old sharing – because sharing means caring!
