You're probably right about the luxury aspect; I'm not that into luxury. The things that excite me are performance and utility. The P100D is extremely quick [0] and that matters not just on the drag strip but when passing on the highway. The lack of a transmission means the acceleration curve is absolutely monotonic without gaps for gear changes. Regen braking means the car slows down quickly when you back off the throttle. I've never driven a car that had such a direct connection between your foot's position and the car's velocity.

The Model S also has two trunks and can carry six passengers (okay two have to be kids). This thing is as practical as a minivan and has the performance of a 911 turbo. I find that pretty amazing.

This already happened. We had Flash and Silverlight. This didn't make the Netflixes of the world drop DRM, and it didn't make customers flee for DRM-free solutions. All it did was decrease security for all of us.

But yes, you do have a point that making DRM easier will likely make more content producers consider and implement DRM than before. I'm not sure there is a good solution to this right now, and yours is just vindictive and actively harmful.

Sure, but for the vast majority of users, the experience is much better. You can certainly argue that they should care more about minority users such as yourself (and me, Linux desktop user here), but it's a hard sell when the cost of the development and maintenance effort exceeds the revenue brought in.

I don't think there's a great solution here. Content producers believe that DRM reduces copyright infringement to a level that they're at least somewhat comfortable with. Whether that's true or not is irrelevant; it's how they feel about it that matters. Making playback harder for the average customer isn't in anyone's best interests.
In 2014 an Oregon live article claimed 17 percent of Seattlites didn't have a car. So no car owners are not the minority, despite what the op wants you to believe.

Roughly 1850-1970 is 3 generations even if I classify a generation as 40 years instead of 20. It's roughly 6 generations if I classify them as 20.

And, I suspect most people wouldn't want to live in the world much prior to 1850. There was a fairly nice article where husband and wife historians attempted to live a colonial/pastoral lifestyle. The wife had a nervous breakdown because all she basically did was cook and clean, and the husband came home completely exhausted day in/day out.

Being "healthy" doesn't matter much if it takes all your energy to survive.

There are a few misguided views in this article and in some of these comments.

1. Every shardable database (Cassandra, Dynamo, BigTable) has to worry about hot spots. Picking a UUID as a partition key is only step one. What happens if one user is a huge majority of your traffic? All of their reads/writes are going to a single partition and of course you are going to suffer from performance issues from that hot spot. It becomes important to further break down your partition into synthetic shards or break up your data by time (only keep a day of data per shard). BigTable does not innately solve this, they may deal better with a large partition but it will inevitably become a problem.

2. Some people are criticizing the choice of NoSQL citing the data size. Note you can have a small data size but have huge write traffic. An unsharded RDBMS will not scale well to this since you cannot distribute the writes across multiple nodes. Don't assume just because someone has a small data set they don't need to use NoSQL to deal with their volume

> I don't believe non-textual names have any place in programming. I have used Haskell and it is an unmitigated disaster.

If you are referring to the use of non-alphanumeric symbols, then I wonder whether you believe that calling the monadic bind bind instead of >>= would really make things clearer?

Sure, one of them looks like a word that already exists in English, so it might be marginally easier to remember; but it has nothing to do with the binding you do with a rope, so its familiar appearance is actually misleading.

Personally, I believe you should use names that are already part of your vocabulary (even symbolic ones like +), or combine existing vocabulary items into a description (even mixing English and symbols, as in number->string), or make up your own arbitrary words or symbols, so long as the end result is internally consistent.

I strongly disagree about your CPM/PPC/CPA categorization.

I work on conversion focused ad campaigns, so YMMV. For conversions, obviously CPA and PPC are superior. I do agree that CPA can be bottom feeders, but PPC is probably the bread and butter of most people I know.

I would suggest that most big companies are paying their agencies, who like pay per view because they can spend more without direct accountability like Return on Ad Spend (ROAS). Their job is easier without having to prove their efforts work.

Grain of salt and all. I'm also a guy who has yet to see proof that a branding campaign has value. (It may lift sales, but is it the most effective use of those dollars? Doubtful.)
Yes, my point is that the fact that "x" refers to two different variables is a feature of the language, not the type system.

Supposedly the author of "the one device" book heard about Tony Fadell from his peers at Apple and they said, "don't believe a word he says". Tony just admitted to making up a huge lie to the author about Apple VP of Marketing Phil Schiller.

Tony's involvement with the iPhone appears to have been close to zilch. His iPod group tried to make a iPod with a phone in it using the click wheel as the user interface. It was terrible, so Jobs went with the Mac team who built a tiny touchscreen based Nextstep computer that became the iPhone.

From a sales standpoint, I don't see the distinction. If DRM of movies is broken past the initial sale craze, and the content producers feel they've made their money before it gets broken, then they'll certainly feel that it's been a value-add for their business.

If web-based DRM actually does remove the browser as an attack vector entirely, and the majority of copyright infringement occurs in other places (studio leaks, etc.), then the content producers might see that as acceptable.

Regardless of all that, I think the distinction is more a philosophical one: you seem to believe that the creative output involved in a game is more reasonable to protect than the creative output involved in a movie, just because of the method of consumption. I think the "human liberty" aspect is a bit much, as well: why do you think you're entitled to the content (on "your terms") that someone else has labored to create?

We can certainly argue (and probably agree) that things like copyright terms are effectively unlimited and that's wrong, and even if they were limited, DRM doesn't give you the ability to get at the content DRM-free after copyright has expired. But I don't see it as unreasonable that a content producer should be able to use technical means to protect their content for a period of time after initial distribution. I think the current implementations of DRM leave a ton to be desired, but I think the concept is sound.

I think overall, though, it's a matter of market forces. People consume "pirated" content because either they can't get the content and consume it in a manner that they want to (and feel strongly enough about that to not settle for the "approved" channel), or people pirate things because they believe the price is too high for a legit copy (and then there are those who just won't pay anything at all, no matter what the price). DRM for music purchases has been largely dropped because people are happy enough with the distribution channels and price that they usually don't look for pirated copies, at least not to the extent that makes the content producers nervous. Will we eventually get to the same place with video? I don't know.
Alumni preference is at least as big or bigger a factor in admissions than affirmative action. Many of the schools were segregated not so long ago, so you can guess how that affects the alumni pool.
that's true.

but to dig a bit deeper, who pays each cost and who benefits from the value?

who directly benefits from the value of energy:
- australian energy consumers
- australian energy producers

who pays the costs for energy prices:
- australian energy consumers

who pays the costs for australian emissions *:
- people living in australia -- 0.3% of emissions
- people living in world excluding australia -- 99.7% of emissions

* assuming each person currently alive in world has equal interest in global climate. this is pretty crude as people who arent born yet get to carry the cost too.

Clearly we cant account for these shared global costs sensibly unless enough countries reach some kind of global agreement. The current australian federal government is taking a regrettable approach of self-interest and is waiting for the larger/more powerful countries to lead the way. Australia has plenty of coal to sell in the mean time.

I had been lightly skeptical until you framed it as a move in spite of the federal government. There were some missing pieces to the puzzle in my mind where I wasn't sure why if we had a technical solution (the interconnector) then why won't we just solve the policy and pricing problem that stops us utilizing it.

Partly because I have never seen Australian states as particularly at odds with eachother or the federal government, but the idea of taking the choice of coal or renewables into our own hands is actually really compelling.

As a South Australian, I'm (very!!) happy to trade a few tax dollars for much lower power prices. The extra tax is more than made up for in savings.

On this particular topic, the South Australian government's interests and mine are precisely aligned: We are both getting screwed over by power generators exploiting the intermittent nature of renewables to make bigger profits. Did you know they deliberately keep gas peaking generators off when it would be profitable to run them, because they can force the price to spike even higher and exploit the minimum billing periods?

I'm all for market driven solutions, but technology driven price disruption is a well known reason for market failure, and that seems to be what is going on here.
>>but this DRM is now running on a sandbox environment

I see this said many times, and it is highly over rated. while Technically speaking yes it calls for a "sandbox" but the need for "Computer Verification" means the CDM has to have full access to the entire system to verify the evil user is not attempting to capture the output. So the sandbox is not really protecting much unless the operating system itself has the CDM integrated as is the case for Windows. So on windows the CDM might be in a functional sandbox but on linux or any other non-proprietary system it is unlikely the sandbox will protect the user from a bad CDM, and given windows track record for security I would not put much faith in their sandbox either.

On the security front I do not believe it has changed much, this idea that the CDM will be more secure seems to be more PR Marketing than actual fact. Further given the refusal of companies to sign onto a Non-Aggression Pledge to protect researchers from DMCA liability it is likely any security issues in the CDM's will go unreported for fear of legal repercussions.

>>>Now, if you're against DRM, instead of complaining about W3C spec'ing it out and browser vendors implementing it. You should stop using DRM content.

Why can a person not do both? Why does a person that has ethical problems with DRM, and view the actual existence of DRM is a threat to their personal liberty be silenced or told to STFU as you have here?

Bad ideas, like DRM, should be continually criticized until they are dead. Vocal opposition as well as monetary boycotts are both valid and should be used to oppose bad ideas like DRM

One of the reason people are opposing video DRM so strongly at the w3c level is we fear it will not stop with Video. Images, Ebooks, Fonts even the web pages themselves are all a target for DRM Supporters. There will come a time that the F12 tools will be useless because the entire page itself is being served via a locked down CDM style plugin.

And "how we met" is such a common couple's story, unless I assume my friends are liars, "met at a party" or "at a (mutual) friend's wedding" is maybe one or two of their stories.

I think you're missing the point here: the minority of users simply do not matter. If Mozilla wants Firefox to remain a browser with large market share, it must implement standards that allow DRM. And that's what they want. They don't want to be obscure like Tor Browser. They want to be popular, and they want to have political clout and influence over standards bodies.

That doesn't remove the ability of a minority of users to use something different and make use of the more "obscure" sources, but it does allow the majority of non-technical users who don't care one bit about all this to play the content they want, and in a way that protects their security much better than the old plugin-based approach.

This is true, but I'd note this quite from the article:

Nyhan showed a clear tendency for people with high numeracy skills to misread graphs about gun control or climate change, even when they’d just correctly read the same graph about soap.

To address you specific point though - the price is less than A$150M/$US115M[1].

By comparison, the SA government is also building a new 250MW gas fired power station which costs A$360M[2].

It's difficult to compare the two because they are such different things of course. But I'd note that at periods of high wind generation the power price in SA does drop to zero, but the peak price is very high. It seems likely the price of energy from the wind farm plus battery will be extremely competitive with gas, and the investment price seems roughly proportional for the amount of energy made available.
