I don't quite see how this is different from, for example, sales tax.

Or, actually the status quo: if you're a Polish company organising a music festival in Italy you follow Italian law.

That principle won't change just because it's a streaming service, for the obvious reason that anything else would lead to content distributers shopping around for the cheapest jurisdiction.

Regarding the distributers' wish for market segmentation: That's a perfectly understandable reason, and it will become illegal rather soonish. Sure, you can chose you customers. But you won't be able to make their nationality part of the equation much longer.

The public will profit rather obviously. Personally, I don't even care about any changes in pricing. Most annoying are companies segmenting the market along borders, and then never actually signing a local distributor. Or somehow only selling the translated movie etc.

One caveat for practical reasons will be sports rights. It's just not possible to set a single price for, say, the British Premier League games that works everywhere: either it's but a fraction of today's prices, or nobody outside the UK would consider buying a subscription*

sometimes.

However, if a company has gimpy organization and technical APIs for many complex pieces of software and or processes in which making mistakes is costly and expensive, it is economical to raise someones salary $15k than have to invest in a newb to spend the next 7 months being able to operate as quickly as you do. It took me about 7months to be up and running efficiently with everything and be able to train other people. I still had to perform at full capacity on day one, but I was less efficient and because mistakes were so costly, I would have to wait 30-45minutes to find someone else to confirm an operation before making one, instead of making a mistake in production, until I knew how to do it myself.

In the manufactoring line, bottlenecks for tools being down was calculated by the millions per hour, because linear bottlenecks in product production actually cascade down a 4 months timeline for meeting product deadlines, which have payment associated with them, and significant penalties for being late.

Additionally, metrology tools to check errors sometimes cannot, based on chemistry and physics, detect errors in production until multiple steps down the line. So if there is a mistake in a base design, it won't get picked up for 3 weeks, and the entire line has to be restarted, so it really helps to have people know how to not screw up even if there isn't an official process for it.

They kept me on because I worked hard, and because I knew how to use over 18 different independent horrible pieces of software with no APIs, and run them simultaneously in realtime in production while operating a team of 15 people.

Losing me was uneconomical for them.

Ask HN: What does HN think of a intelligence agency DAO?
My thinking, which is not new, is this: If we are being spied on, at least let us spy back. Also, most people would be more motivated to take care of their privacy if not only big brother but i.e. their real big brother can read their browsing; this is interesting for everybody since a controlled society is a worse one, best example: You don't have WhatsApp? You don't get invited by new groups who organize over WhatsApp. Post-privacy is the buzzword here.

Now there is a talk on youtube called "Build your own NSA" - tl;dr is:

> buy data from the industry

> mine all kinds of painful information on people from it

> depending on your motivation, make them cry or cry yourself or both

Now, I am sure if some startup would offer this, they would get shut down quickly; also with centralization there is the problem that the powerful can always motivate the company to not list them. With a DAO (decentralized autonomous organization) though this is not so easy.

tl;dr: make a DAO-NSA to force everyone to take privacy seriously or at least spy back on the fuckers.

There'll be exceptions for sports broadcasts, and maybe other content where there is a reason legitimising a difference in prices.

The major motivation for Giraph (Facebook) and GraphJet (Twitter) was the ability to do graph based recommendations such as Friend of Friend scoring (Facebook) or Who To Follow (Twitter). Basically looking at the followers or friends of each of your followers or friends and using some kind of scoring algorithm to pick which users you will most likely be interested in.

Another common example is doing some kind of clustering (community detection) of vertices like for example labeling the users on the social graph by likely political affiliation or likely hobbies. These labels could be used as features for advertising recommendations later.

In short, "provides a financial lifeline to his authoritarian regime" and "desperate desire to gain resources needed to secure weapons and other instruments of oppression..."

Also worth realising that in a lot of companies you're not being paid for your output, you're being paid for a certain amount of access to your brain.

The value in your job isn't your output, it's the organisational outcomes that occur as a result of you doing what ya do.

Some companies are fine and built around the outcomes of 5 hours a day of your code. Some organisations though really want 8 hours a day of access to those sweet, sweet neurons. Even if the constant interruptions, meetings and feelings of unproductivity are side effects, perhaps they value the outcomes of 2 hours a day of your code and the value sharing that comes from an inane question at 17:59, more than absolute output.

Not saying the latter is more efficient or should be right, but just showing there's different value companies derive from their employees over and above project deliverables.
For anyone that is struggling to understand generics in regular Java/c#-ish languages, have a go at learning the basics of CLOS, the Common Lisp object system. This uses "generics" ("generic functions" in CLOS jargon) as a pretty fundamental component, essentially doing what method calls are in an "ordinary" OO language. In fact, CLers tend to use "method" to mean "generic function with a signature that contains this class, plus some other assumptions".

Once you "get" OO where all method calls are generic calls, you will have a more intuitive understanding of them.

Who are these people and what do they need galactic disk bandwidth for?
mm, perhaps but I'm echoing documented hiring philosophies of the companies. They are aware they make mistakes. But they feel confident they filter out a majority of false positives along with many false negatives. They have their own metrics for determining this in relation to how many people they hire are able to complete a minimum satisfactory work.

They have documented people who can do this in relation to the people they hire, and even have internal portfolios tracking employees by age, experience, major, and schools, as well as how they performed on interviews. This is a fact.

Everything is subjective. But ultimately a company decides based on its own subjective priorities how an employee meets up to their subjectively defined needs for the position that person fills, and they can pretty onjectively within that context evaluate whether the person can do the work or not, and even track commitments, errors, time to cdoe to completion, amount of bugs, amount of time team has to spend fixing their bugs, etc, and parse out a pretty good idea of performance.

Thats why theres multiple books written by these companies designed to help you pass their interviews, as they have identified indicators of low performance in interviews....

All companies can do this, but many don't, and many arent based in software and therefore do not have embedded ability to track performance metrics the way code commits can.

small companies can do it too, but big companies who also have this system in place can take advantage of larger sets of data for more accurate indicators that seem to correlate with low performance.
I work with a number of people in my office who do completely different things than I do. If we didn't make time to just talk about whatever between the times we work, we would probably never need to speak to one another.

That being said, there is a benefit to having 'non-productive' communication with colleagues during working hours, because it builds trust and rapport. These become infinitely value at seemingly unexpected times, and it's difficult to calculate an ROI on asking your colleague how their weekend was.

That is also true of Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, My Neighbour Totoro... a lot of other Ghibli productions that did get lots of exposure.

I think the issue with that particular movie is that (IIRC) is a bit heavy on the ecological agenda, overall is not great (funny here and there though) and I don't think it was ever dubbed. The subtitles I've seen floating around are pretty terrible.

At some point, dysfunctional management can't be overcome. I'm not really talking about that extreme case; I'm talking about the more common case where engineers don't understand management priorities because they're not aware of the business' non-technical concerns that are part of the prioritization decisions.

If you want to spend a day on a CI server, it'll cost the company a day of your time (say, $1k) and will save maybe 5x that over the year by saving an hour of your time dealing with each build. That's great and worth doing. But, if it means that your company will miss out on $10k of revenue Tuesday, it's a net loss. And if missing that revenue means payroll can't be made on Friday, the company is screwed. The hyperfocus on short-term may be dysfunction, or it may be a sign that the company is in serious trouble. Jumping ship might be the best choice.

"Speaking the MBA's language" isn't really about terminology, it's about a different point of view with different concerns and priorities. A PM choosing your text editor sure sounds like micro-management of a technical decision that the PM doesn't understand, but maybe the text editor you want to use has licensing costs for business use that you're not aware of because you always used it personally, and the PM's decision is based on that business concern rather than the technical merits. Same topic, same choice to make, different point of view.

>Because there is far less motivation to be efficient and well-run.

A) There is plenty of motivation to be efficient and well run - electoral incentives, career incentives, etc.

B) In an oligopolistic market (which banking DEFINITELY qualifies as) there is less motivation to be well run in the private sector.

C) Competition works just the same way if it's coming from the public sector or the private sector. Competition from the public sector is a good way of disciplining the public sector and incentivizing it to be better run.

Ah, well in that case we are in disagreement. I think Coffeescript is a big improvement. It produces JS code that conforms to The Good Parts™ without having to remember to always add that third equals sign or the var keyword to avoid making a global and other such ridiculous bull-ka-ka.

So you end up not debugging the same old JS traps as much because it is a lot harder to write them. (You get to debug shiny new JS traps instead, but there's only so much a good lipstick can do.)

But it's fine if you prefer javascript to coffeescript. Tastes differ. Some people like bull-ka-ka. runs away
There's the linguistic principle of "You shall know a word by the company it keeps", so for any particular word you can identify which other words are most specifically related to that word, the simplest measure that can be used for that is freq(both words together)/freq(that other word in general).

That would allow you to prioritize sentences containing "getting a car" over "driving a car" - even if "getting a car" is more frequent, driving is more specific according to such a measure.

> This line of reasoning supports the original comment they reply to that you can't count on battery prices to drop.

No, it doesn't. The cost of lithium in the batteries is such a minor expense, that changes in lithium prices cannot move the price of a battery in either direction. The batteries are getting cheaper because of reasons unrelated to lithium, and even if the price of lithium were to quadruple from present levels, these other factors would totally dominate the price of the battery.

If something is currently 1% of a price of a good, and it quadruples in price, it can at worst cause a 3% move up in the price of the good. If, at the same time, a different reason causes the price of the good to fall 40%, this 3% move up hardly registers.
