That's simply not true as Samsung Mobile always had dibs on their SAMOLED tech and other phones using SAMOLED displays always used the previous gen panels, as the current gen was always supply constrained. Seems to have gotten a bit better in recent years though.
I just bought a new car with a RFID key. The key never leaves my pocket. As I put my hand around the door handle, it unlocks. Once I'm in the car I press a Start button and it's ready to run. When leaving the car I press a special spot on the handle and it locks all the doors. If I were to leave the key in the car and lock it from the outside, it wouldn't matter because I (or anyone else) could unlock it simply by grabbing the handle again.
>The report says the problem is bad enough that F-35 pilots may need to fly in so close to acquire the target that they would have to maneuver away to gain the distance needed for a guided weapon shot. Thus, the system’s limitations can force an attacking F-35 to compromise surprise, allowing the enemy to maneuver to a first-shot opportunity.

This sounds catastrophic.

There is definitely a place for movies, but I think a lot of people really enjoy longer spanning series. In the past TV shows were largely episodic in format and with lower production values compared to movies. But now there is less of a difference in the quality of the medium and the difference becomes long va short format. There are definitely some stories that are best told in one brief sitting, but there is a large market for longer running storylines that you can consume an hour at a time, or binge all day.

Great point about the Sopranos and how that was a forerunner to these successful shows that act as today's benchmarks.

A lot of this is still ideas floating around my skull and various notes (electronic or paper), not fully organised.

Ello is, as I've just noted in a post there, very search-resistant, which is becoming a major pain-point. My post index (see my profile page there) is very sadly out of date, though it has a few items on it.

https://ello.co/dredmorbius/post/dlz9c2z6x-tvkd7rxtxwpw

I'd put some thoughts together on Reddit and community and what seems to work, or not:

You've found two of the better items I'd put together on trust and dialectic discussion at Ello.

Though not directly related to size, I've also suggested standardising topical "channels" of discussion:
https://ello.co/dredmorbius/post/ftpx7lwnfjtopygu5xrkhg

Somewhere amongst my writing is a suggestion for a tiered set of vaguely Dunbar's Number sized network clusters. Say, 50-150 people per group, themselves organised into clusters of perhaps 50 groups themselves. A small level of tiers gets you to current global population size (5-7 levels as I recall). If each group surfaces, say, 10 - 100 items per day of choice public content, and the filtering is applied upwards, then ... maybe there's a way to have both local and global discussion.

Topical interests might be overlays on that, based on net interest. A topic with a 1:50 interest level would draw from all 50 neighbouring clusters for its own base level. A topic with a 1:2500 interest would scale to two levels up -- this retains some level of "locality" whilst also allowing for broader discussion.

And branching out between clusters would be possible, but effectively with some additional cost -- UI/UX-imposed or other. Not large, but present.

There's an existing (or was) network that was organised somewhat on these terms, though I believe it's not done much. Building initial interest is difficult.
There are two main sources of fuel for the human body: ketones (derived from fat) and glucose (derived from carbohydrates).

Ketones aren't a fuel, they are byproduct of burning fatty acids.

As an analogy, Ketones aren't wood (fuel), they are ashes (byproduct).
Steve Jobs had a relatively rare pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor which is more receptive to treatment than other pancreatic cancers. And then instead of treating it he went on a diet.

Samsung could easily fork Android and set up their own app store (just like Amazon). They account for over 50%(!) of the Android market. Hell, I'd like them to become the new Apple: Apple is ditching most of their peripheral hardware suite, they don't sell routers or displays anymore. If Samsung put in some effort they could create the same level of integration with their displays, phones, laptops, TVs etc. that Apple used to have.
This again. There are a few good takedowns of the Oceana report and how even the seemingly modest 20% is vastly exaggerated for click bait reasons. Even The Huffington Post attacked it, not exactly a site known to go easy on businesses:

Just my experience, in several different places in the US, going to these kinds of places with my kids.

Steve had the only form that was treatable and didn't treat it until it was too late.

"In spite of pleas from family and friends, he tried to cure himself through acupuncture sessions, drinking special fruit juices, visiting "spiritualists" and using other treatments he found on the internet.

Some cancer experts have said that Mr Jobs may have extended his life or even survived if he had promptly tackled his cancer aggressively with scientifically proven medical treatments."
Technically yes but the ratio between the air going through the jet (the hot part) and the fan (the cold part) draws some lines. The A10, like modern airline engines, is more fan than jet. This makes them efficient but limits top performance. It boils down to the shape of the engine. Wider engines with bigger fans/intakes become a liability above mach1. But a wider fan means better low-speed power, more surface area to "grip" on the slower air, allowing for better acceleration and shorter take-off. The f22 might technically have a fan, but it is extremely small in comparison to the jet that powers it.

The strange thing is that at extreme speeds the SR71 engines were high-bypass, with most air bypassing the blades altogether to be burnt in the afterburner as a ramjet.

Well, I lost 6.7 pounds and 1.9% body fat during my 4-day fast.

How much of that went back on again shortly afterwards, though? I have sometimes lost several pounds very quickly as a result of dehydration, but this is generally not healthy and the loss is temporary. I've sometimes been sick and not had much of an appetite, resulting in staying in bed for several days and hardly eating anything. Again, I lost several pounds, but even with a modest and very healthy food intake for the next few days, much of the weight then went back on again as my body recovered.

Well, morality IS relative. It's not a "dark side" of going abroad. I feel pity for those who did this research because they're the ones who are "in the dark" and believe in their little world enough to do a research and write a paper on this. It's similar to bunch of christians doing a research about why God exists. I'm all for philosophy and theorizing things but just don't claim it to be "scientific" just because you used all these multiple longitudinal, correlational, and experimental whatever bullshit methods.
This is true. And also because there's nothing quite like working on a movie. Some of my fondest memories are of working on various film and TV shows in a wide variety of capacities.

That's substantially overstating the case. The TR-808 is an iconic drum machine, but you're far more likely to hear a cut-up sample of the Amen Break or the Funky Drummer Break.

The importance of the TR-808, TR-909 and TB-303 is largely accidental. These units were a commercial failure and gained cult success largely because they could be bought cheaply. In much the same way, grunge musicians tended to use whatever horrible old guitars were languishing at the back of pawn shops - Fender Jaguars and Jazzmasters, Mosrites, Teiscos and Danelectros.

In my opinion, by far the most important work done by Roland was the development of the MIDI standard. Ikutaro Kakehashi and Dave Smith moved mountains to get the industry to agree on a common standard. MIDI was the starting pistol for the modern age of music production.

Well, anatomically modern humans evolved around discontinuous food availability, so fasting may play a more important role than we think in our metabolism.

I think we're at about the limits of an HN discussion length here. I appreciate your thoughts, though I also think you're severely understimating the emergent properties which can lead to lock-in effects. That's not to say there aren't some imposed barriers, though I'd argue ultimately those legal bars themselves are in some sense emergent (virtually any empowered agent will seek to reinforce its power through available means).

The good news, if there is that, is that aspirational social networks tend to follow cycles, both online and off, and Facebook will all but certainly fall, eventually. The bad news is that the same dynamics which created it will create the next instance, and I'm really not sure those dyanamics can be disrupted, no matter how much I'd like to see that they are.

While it's hard to make digital information uncopyable, it's relatively easy to make it nonsensical. Obsolete or opaque formats, hoop-jumping, rate-limiting, and more, all impose costs. And the larger your population is, by definition, the less sophisticated it is (sophistication is a definitionally minority characteristic). So the harder it is to manifest a shift.

Something to keep in mind: any time someone pitches an idea to you with the line "all we've got to do is convince people to ...", run. Just run. Unless people would sell their children and mothers to get what it is you're selling, it won't fly.

>> so it is probably rare for cancer to go away on its own.

It is actually very common. It has happened to you many times without you knowing it. Cancerous cells can appear and be taken care of immediately by various natural mechanisms. There are mechanisms to correct errors in DNA before a cell divides, or a damaged cells can self-destruct. This happens all the time as skin cells deal with DNA damaged by UV light. And there are diseases that cause cancer not directly but because of breakdowns in these repair mechanisms (see DNA repair-deficiency disorder). If you looked at every cell in your body no doubt a great many are technically cancerous at any one time. A clinical case starts when the natural mechanisms fail and damaged cells divide enough to cause the disease we call cancer.

The distinction is medically important because if you go looking for every tiny little bit of cancer you will find a great many that would never give rise to a clinical case, that would never impact the patient.

To be clear, a strict implementation of your DNS means that this host appears in the MNAME field of your SOA record. Not so stealthy or hidden, despite the moniker. You might ask "who on earth looks at the MNAME field of SOA records", I answer "well I do".

However there is no requirement that the MNAME host be willing to answer queries. There is an expectation that the host in the MNAME field accepts dynamic DNS updates, if one is using RFC2136-style dynamic DNS, although I didn't get the sense Spotify were doing so.
