Aside from the fact that your wrong about the BBC

the issue itself is not a "free market problem" because copyright only exists because of government interference. Government created the "right" DRM is protecting against.

In a pure free market, there is no copyright, thus no need for DRM to protect a right that does not exist

Could we then use this to study/predict animal/human behavior?

The P100 has much better double-precision performance, but it's single-precision perf doesn't justify the cost in most instances.

The DGX1 (w 8 P100's) is another example of an overpriced, turnkey money extraction "solution."

Also worth noting it's hard to get a Ti non-founder edition, which has a hefty premium on it for the privilege of being first. The regular 1080 non-FE cards are probably the best bang/buck right now.

Folking doing ML/AI/DL, or any HPC really, gotta profile their apps to find bottlenecks and root out resource waste: single prec math? ram? algorithm complexity? storage iops? network latency? etc. because throwing money at a problem is no substitute for having a clue how to use money, time and electricity wisely.

This comparison totally misses the the normal workflow for Emacs.

Nobody normally starts an Emacs instance to edit a file and quits it afterwards. Typically you run Emacs in server mode, and use emacsclient to instantly open whatever files you need.

By the same token, somebody could give low marks to IntelliJ or Eclipse because it may take a good 20-30 seconds for them to load.

The problem is, eventually, no one is going to make an DRM-free browser because "no one" will use it if they can't watch movies or access whatever other content will be locked down with EME. Firefox let's you easily disable DRM, for now, I have no faith it will remain that way forever. If content providers were really never going to give up on DRM requirements, I think a standardized "Media Browser" specification should have been created with the only goal being audio/video delivery, completely separate from web standards. I don't even understand why Netflix wants to be under the thumb of the major browsers, they should be the one's looking for a dedicated solution so they can declare independence.

I would keep a stash of this for when I get up early and want a cup while I set down to work. I can't run my grinder or espresso machine because it wakes up the kids.

I do drink normal instant coffee in those desperate times, but I would very much enjoy a high quality alternative.

Not interested in a subscription though, it's bad enough that every piece of software I use has moved to a monthly model without it taking over my physical world too. You do your thing, but I'll be checking back periodically to see if you've started selling individual boxes.

That's a slur. If you do this again we will ban you.
It's cute how you try to apply a Western way of seeing the world to a radically different cultural mindset. The people I'm talking about believe, in all seriousness, that the plants have spirits, with whom you can communicate, and to whom you owe deference and respect, because they — and you — are part of a larger system that benefits from, even depends upon, a cooperative mode of co-existence.

That kind of thinking suffuses their culture. It is a premise to how they engage with their world. Short-term, "I can burn this down if it serves my immediate needs," thinking is inimical to the traditional way of life of Amazonian tribal societies — or at least the ones with which I've interacted. "Cut it down and turn it into money" is, necessarily, a new phenomenon, since "money" wasn't even a thing for these people until we introduced it to them.

So, yeah. It is, in fact, rather like Avatar, your snark notwithstanding. You can dismiss that kind of thinking as animistic, primitive, or whatever else you want, to your heart's content. But denying its existence to someone who's spoken with these people, and seen the sincerity and reverence with which they hold those beliefs, is ... well, it's very reductively Western, for starters.

EDIT: It's also patently absurd to call that kind of thinking "short-term" in light of the clear-cutting, slash-and-burning, &c, that so many people there commit these days, just to get by — let alone to call it more short-term than the ways people engage today. That makes absolutely no sense to me.
+1 for RussianCow's comment.

Our target customer is the average person who goes to Philz, Blue Bottle, Stumptown as well as Starbucks. These people aren't really buying instant coffee - they spend $2-10 on coffee per day. Some of them buy 2 x $5 latte drinks at a cafe. 100% of these people drink their coffee for the taste (although they have different taste preferences). The average person who goes to Blue Bottle daily actually doesn't know much about the beans, where it's sourced, etc. This is a big misconception that we uncovered last May. These people are Blue Bottle loyalists who love the brand, but they really just want a good cup of coffee that makes them feel good. They don't care what country it came from and they don't really know what light roast vs dark roast is.

This is actually a HUGE market of people. The middle is much larger than the fringes.

Btw, I've said this in other places on the thread - we completely love people who are super into coffee and I still think we make a good product for those really into it, but I just want to highlight the large number of people in the middle who we often forget to talk about.
If you discount the cost of your time to zero. Otherwise it's not even worth a minimum wage job.
As a user who has just bought their first computer, would you
a) like to go to the shop and spend money to buy more software
b) try to figure out this thing called FTP, maybe going to the library to read up on it even though you have never heard of it so don't know what you are looking for
c) just use this thing called "Internet Explorer" that sounds like what you want to do, is free and already installed on the computer you just turned on for the first time?
This is one of those times where I think the discussion might be confusing one hard problem with a slightly hard problem that's hard to scale. It seems like the hard problem is understanding how to model how neurons interact with enough precision to get a meaningful picture of how they do what they do. Once we have that, I'm not sure the difference between 302 and 100,000 and 100,000,000,000 will be _fundamentally more difficult_ and not just much more expensive to get going.

That being said, modelling neurons is a tough problem we haven't figured out. All the problems we _do_ figure out kind of accumulate, so programs can be written faster if you're trying to make something where you can get more and more parts off the shelf. I'm not sure this is a topic that demands an analogy. We all understand how to write programs and what makes it easier to do so -- having a cool API or library, ya know, that helps. No metaphor needed.
As the author, this is the kind of condescension of Sublime users that annoys me. I think I know vim quite well, I've been using vim bindings for 5 years now across varying editors. I know almost all Vim bindings.

How about a test? Suppose my cursor is on line 198 of https://github.com/trishume/syntect/blob/ef3b99b06b72e89b7a0.... I want to copy "match_pat.has_captures && cur_level.captures.is_some()" on line 172. If you give me an efficient sequence of vim bindings for that movement I can tell you if I know what everything does without looking it up.

I think a more apt criticism would be that I think too slowly to use Vim. I can figure out that "26j4wy10e" does what I want, and at my normal english characters/second typing speed that is faster than doing the selection with my mouse. However, when I actually try and do that without figuring it out ahead of time I take longer to read, count and figure out the right numbers and actions, then type the individual characters (which due to muscle memory for english I'm slower at than typing english). I end up being slower than the mouse, and with a higher mental load.

You could say I just need to "git gud" and practice, but if practicing for hours a day for 5 years doesn't get me to the point that I'm better than the mouse, I think it's time to say that maybe it isn't a lack of practice, but perhaps an innate skill difference.

That all presumes that there exists a substantial number of people who are faster in practice at long distance text selection with vim shortcuts than I am with the mouse. I have yet to see someone where I can confidently say that is the case, and I've watched a reasonable number of vim users. I guess everyone I've seen using vim (including many 5+ year users) is a "vim n00b" in your model, that sounds a bit "no true scotsman"-like.

Latest update of Workflow that came out earlier today axed support for Google services and Uber...
Hey there, I just subbed your channel. I'm not saying my channel is of any quality, or that I'm in a position of authority to offer advice, but you're asking, so I figure I can answer, from the perspective of someone with ~80k subs currently:

First thing I did was say "cool look!" then I clicked 'about' link to learn more about your channel and ways that I could follow your twitter, etc, and there was not anything beyond a succinct description. I'm not complaining, and I doubt it will cost you much, but people don't want to have to work hard to follow your content stream, and it's like a set-it-and-forget-it way to wring out every last potential subscriber.

Your video production during your two book reviews was good, and your review was entertaining, personal, and seemed like an honest unscripted opinion. You have a great quality that you speak clearly and with intention; I appreciated that.

Your third video 'Designing Success' was in my opinion the best, design-wise :) (get it? design--... wise?) I liked the intro with the hip hop music and the artistic approach to conveying your surroundings and setting for the video.

The audio- I didn't mind the audio in the 3rd video when it got messy during the windy part, and I could see that you somewhat realized you were in choppy waters when the wind started blowing. You spoke clearly, and even as an American, accustomed to primarily listening to American dialect, I could still understand you- but one thing lacking that would have made it better was a proper Closed Caption track so that you could still be understood. That's just me nit-picking though, as someone who is hard of hearing.

An unsolicited tip: One thing I realized early on, making videos, is that you can't ever have too many audio sources recording. Audio recorders are cheap, and the mics you can attach to them are endless, so it's no issue to run several mics: one source could be the camera's audio, which I typically use for reference. Another option could be a portable audio recorder. Currently I use the Zoom H1, which was about 89 USD brand new. It allows me to pop in my headphones and monitor the audio as it is produced, in stereo, and if need be to connect something like a shirt mic, there is a port for that as well. One thing that I've been experimenting with recently, is if I'm recording outside, I'll also mic the ambient noise about 12 feet away and use that audio track to train an Audacity plugin to filter out errant jarring noises in incidences where loud vehicles or sirens drive past.

Great channel, I subbed, and look forward to new content. Take care! Good luck!

Also, if you haven't seen it already, check out the YouTube Creator Academy (formerly, the YouTube Playbook) which is pretty much a guide entitled "this is how to make money properly on our platform"

edit: corrected Zoom H2 to Zoom H1
There's a lot more to it--this is just a tiny part we're giving away, not something we'll make money on.

We do real-browser load testing in the cloud using the same scripts folks use for integration testing. Because they can also run locally, you can run them alongside your integration tests with each commit, and you always know you have working scripts. Scripts are easy to code and maintain because they can use page objects like functional tests.

This means you can have versioned load test/monitoring scripts in your project that always work with a particular sha. When you deploy, you can start transactional monitoring immediately. It also means load testing is not a separate stage in your development lifecycle.
I don't know why the limit is 100 per day, I'm just going by the article & the pictures in it which very clearly show a tunnel open to the ocean with no lock system.

The photos also show a mountain going straight into the ocean, which means raising the ship with a lock wouldn't save you any money, since you'd need an unbroken sequence of locks going all the way to the top of the mountain.
Could this be a response to the whole "Apple is ignoring the pros"-narrative (albeit planned, I'm not saying Apple is acquiring companies based on just som bad press)?

And yes, yes, we want a MBP with 32 GB ram and a new Mac Pro and all other kinds of stuff, but I still feel there is somewhat of an overlap between the Workflow crowd and the "ignoring the pros"-crowd.
If 98% of flagged videos are reviewed with 24 hours, it raises the question of why these videos are not getting deleted. Are they not getting flagged? Is google not reviewing them quickly enough? Are they not really as objectionable as the advertisers claim (as londons_explore's comment alludes to)?
Of course, but typically quality suffers significantly, so what you get isn't as good as the original and that in itself is a deterrent for a lot of people.

Also, some modern watermarking techniques can survive conversions like this, so if anyone is making a habit of recording content from a service using watermarking and redistributing it on a scale that justifies taking serious action, it'll be pretty easy to prove who it was when the lawsuit comes up.
Well, Apple Maps used to have zero transit features and this was a major downgrade for those that relied on that feature at the time

Fair enough on 1/10 vs 1/4 pound. Better McDonalds number: they will sell me a quarter pounder with cheese for $3.79, and that includes all the logistics, preparation, overhead etc.

And yeah your bulk price is a better number anyway :)

Fast food is mind blowingly cheap though, and yeah maybe higher end things will help move down the cost curve, but I think the technical difficulties around cell culture are truly massive. I'd be much more interested in things like making meat-like components out of yeast (easier to culture) than taking full on myocytes and culturing those to get a burger.
As a regular instant drinker-- I wish you luck.

My go to instant is Cafe Bustelo, cheap, woody, strong and 17¢ a cup when it's on sale.

At your price, Sudden occupies an interesting niche, but I think it will do fine given how massive the coffee market is!

Nothing beats instant for convenience, it's a lot easier to find a hot water than a coffee machine. And slips in your pocket like grinders and a bag o' beans doesn't.
Author here: I can tell you why I didn't.

Yes it would have been faster and more stable, however then I would just complain about the lack of a bunch of features from Sublime that I like, and the terrible keybindings.

I actually have minor RSI issues, I'm also not keen to turn them into major RSI issues by using Emacs bindings.
Giorgi extreme typing
So first off, taste is a subjective thing, but generally things that we classify as tasting good internally:
- smooth/ juicy taste
- naturally sweet without sugar
- has a good fragrance

Things that taste bad in coffee might be:
- dries out your mouth
- watery/ tasteless
- really bitter
- tastes like wood
- smokey/ burnt

FYI, it's hard to pick up on these taste characteristics if you drink coffee with cream and sugar, so if you want to do a taste test, try it black and at a warm (not hot) temperature.

> Sure it will. It will stop people writing a script to download as much as they can

But the people who go through the trouble of that are exactly the people who wouldn't mind downloading pirated copies in the first place.
For me, it usually wouldn't start up (some oddball Windows Store error, probably because I don't sign into my machine with a Microsoft ID) and streaming quality was horrible, especially at the beginning, and there was no way to tell it to wait longer for buffering.

I really hope that legislature passes that invalidate these TOSes. Farming is hard work and they shouldn't make it harder for people already scraping by in some cases. I think where their TOS makes sense is for corporate farming where a larger corporate entity has to manage a fleet of these tractors. Unfortunately, John Deere does not make any distinction on their licensing based on who is using their product. I think it's time to send John Deere a... Dear John? :P
Hate DRM. But love what Netflix has done to disrupt delivery of video in a country that has suffered with high prices, bundling and delayed releases. I am going with the pragmatic view on this one.
There tends to be a lot of variation within a certain set of initial conditions. E.g. all insects have 6 legs & three body segments, whereas spiders have 8 legs and two body segments.

This isn't only true in the pedantic sense in relation to your question, i.e. if you did have something evolving from insects that say added an extra pair of legs it would be a new class of arthropods, so it wouldn't be an insect anymore, but nothing major like that has branched off either insects or spiders.

Insects evolving 4 sets of legs would be a much smaller change than spiders evolving wings, since insects already have all the genetic material to grow legs, but spiders have none of the genetic material to grow wings and would have to independently evolve them.

As an aside you're misusing the term "begs the question", it doesn't mean "prompts a question", it's a reference to a specific logical fallacy that doesn't apply here.
It's not equivalent, but it's connected: circumference is "more fundamental" than area simply in the sense that 1 dimension is more fundamental than 2. In particular, when we build things up in higher dimensions, it's much more clearly done using a 1D primative than a 2D one, e.g., for the Fourier transform, there are powers of 2pi=Tau in any dimensions.
It's the implicit rationalization. New software engineers in particular suffer from "Ohh Shiny" when choosing their toolset more than just about any other group I've worked with. To the detriment of the profession, IMO.

I would love to be able to search all code for a string and then either (1) sort the resulting repositories by stars/forks; or (2) limit the results to repositories with >X stars/forks. When learning a new framework or library I like to find popular projects that use it and read the code to get a sense of conventions, architecture, etc. For instance, it'd be fantastic to find all repositories with over 20 stars containing a *.py file with "import flask" or "from flask" in them.

Does anyone remember what the prevailing mood was like when/before Chrome started becoming popular? Were people simply happy to see more companies putting a dent in that avatar of Lovecraftian horrors that was Internet Explorer?

Why didn't Mozilla work harder to catch up with Chrome and counter Google? Was it a case of "My enemy's enemy is my friend?"

And why did Opera slip away into the mists of obscurity? I remember it being pretty good and it was actually my main browser for a year or so.
That's very interesting. I'm always impressed at how dedicated some people are to old systems too. My Spectrums haven't been touched in 15 years and here's people making graphics cards for them still.
