My partner and I are Italians and she is a natural horsemanship/Parelli trainer and absolutely abhors the Palio because she can point to multiple instances of cruelty to the animals and coercion. I myself am very wary of horses (bad fall when I was six, thirty years later I still refuse to get back in the saddle) but even I can now appreciate the difference between a relaxed, non-threatened horse and these poor creatures.

I'm not an animal rights activist by any measure, but just as many people now question the corrida, I'm coming to the conclusion that is time to revise some traditions, such as this one.

All Netflix original content is available in France AFAIK. The only exception was House of Cards at first because they sold the rights to Canal +, a local TV, when they were not present in France yet. However it is available on time now.

I feel like virtually all of the comments here are focusing on the fact that Gawker, as a company, was generally unethical and harmed a lot of people for no good reason.

This is not the point. Hulk Hogan is entirely moot to the issue at hand.

Hogan's case was just a vehicle for Thiel's goal of getting back at a company who had written articles that he disliked. What Thiel did was to tell people with deep enough pockets to see that it's possible to destroy someone for writing articles that they disagree with. The case was structured to ensure that Gawker could not rely on insurance for paying certain damages and that people became personally liable for the damages arising from the case[1].

So, imagine that Warren Buffet dislikes an expose in the Chicago Tribune about him. He then waits for someone to have a grievance against them and then tells that person that he'll provide all the financial resources to drag this case on for years and refuse to settle or repeatedly finds various proxy parties and repeats this behavior. Tronc is then forced to sell assets to keep afloat while dealing with this litigation.

Thiel's behavior shows this works and that most people seem okay with it. That's the problem.

"though I guess it wasn't technically "credit cards" but the national debit cards system"

Well yeah sure, but we're talking credit cards here. Either way, many parts of Europe used swipe-style debit cards (with pin) until a few years ago; I'm pretty sure I used them in France too, < 10 years ago (although I can't remember for sure).
To be fair, ordering takeaway was just an example used in the article. I actually enjoy cooking, so it really wouldn't make me happier to order. I also like polishing my shoes and some things like that. But I hate ironing my shirts and cleaning the toilet.

I used to incorporate cleaning into my home workout routine as well. I knew I couldn't be the only one! A "rest" for me was sweeping the floor. Now I go to the gym because bodyweight isn't enough any more but I haven't found a good way to keep my floors clean because I hate doing that too.

This is so obviously wrong that I wonder if you are deliberately trolling. You can just look at wrinkling skin, decreased peak performance and all the other pieces of evidence that the regerative abilities of the body degrade after age 30-40. Or you can look at the thousands of papers in the areas of cellular senescence and its many consequences: DNA damage, lipofuscin accumulation, glycoxidation, lipid peroxidation of the inner mitochondrial membrane, atherosclerosis and probably dozens of other processes that translate to the "body wearing down".

Raising awareness of public transportation? It's not that people are not aware, the US political system is just a shit-show and thus it want happen. Even private public transportation is usually outlawed.

Uber style services is a market response to the problem of transportation, because public transit options have not grown form the market because the government is slow and outlaw most private public transportation.
I disagree. I think for $10 bucks and that I only watch 4-8 episodes per month it's perfect. I can barely get through all the good content.

That said a few years back I would watch way more and exhausted what appealed to me in Netflix's catalog, as it sounds you have.

I think the idea is you just gotta compare what else costs $10 bucks. Um lunch, maybe.

So if you have realistic expectations for what you get for $10 bucks and don't watch "too much" TV, it's perfect.

It's kind of a way to figure out how much someone knows about how computers and the internet work. It's an easy way to distinguish between people who don't understand much about how the internet works beyond some level of perceived magic. Beyond that you can gain an understanding of which protocols and systems someone is familiar with. For example, do they understand ethernet? and http? and caching? and dns? etc. Interestingly, it's a question with sufficient depth that no human can really fully explain it in complete detail (no, really), you can kind of shine a light on different aspects of the question for a moment but you'll never cover everything (we're talking about the workings of a system that has trillion of active components, some simplification is necessary).
Not necessarily true. For example Lilyhammer is not. Its streaming rights seem to be split between Canal+ and Orange. I think Arte did the original TV diffusion before Netflix arrived in France.

Also, Netflix conflates its worldwide streaming exclusives, its exclusive shows from other studios, as well as the shows it produces in its own studios under the same, Originals brand.

I will admit I found it hard not to read this comment and wonder about your sense of entitlement in the face of the vastly privileged situation we live in now in terms of media consumption. You pay $10 per month to watch high quality TV from the last few decades as much as you want, whenever you want (and, goodness me, if you have children, Netflix is an absolute godsend - fire up Paw Patrol and off you go...); to watch a large and moderately decent selection of films, often including relatively new releases, whenever you want, as many as you want; and as if that weren't enough, they even produce their own content, some of which is actually good.

I remember when, if you wanted to watch a film, you would drive to Blockbuster and rent it, and you had a couple of nights to watch it or the fees would start racking up - and their selection was never all that great, and the availability was limited to how many DVDs or videos they physically had. If you wanted to watch a TV series, you'd buy the boxset - and before DVDs, Friends took up about four feet of your bookshelf.

Sure, I've seen a bit of a movement lately from Netflix to Amazon Prime, but seriously, what we have right now in 2017 is so miraculously much better than what we had ten years ago (when I had a LoveFilm account and had to rely on films being sent through the post - which seems oddly even more antiquated now than Blockbuster does, frankly), that to describe it as "crap" and "garbage" just seems crazy to me.

I am kinda waiting for Purescript to mature a tiny bit more in this regard, because it seems that they have something special brewing there, with their polymorphic record type and interesting take on type-level programming.

Because this [1], even though it seems to be just a experiment so far, looks really good.

I.e: doing

type MyTestStrMap =
{ a :: Int
, b :: StrMap Int
}

and then just calling

let result = handleJSON """
{ "a": 1, "b": {"asdf": 1, "c": 2} }
"""

let newResult = doSomething (result:: Either MultipleErrors MyTestStrMap))

is kinda all I ever wanted in these haskell inspired languages?

Patents? Maybe I'd understand if you were talking about IP law (in which case we're too far apart) but to my knowledge patent threats were not really the tool of MSFT in the 90s.

Instead they would opt for more classic techniques like threatening resellers by withholding access to their products.
The same happens the other way round elsewhere. For example, Orphan Black is a BBC America production, but is a Netflix Original in the UK and Ireland. There's a bunch of anime that is branded a Netflix Original too, which just feels weird.

Something that I noticed recently is that if speed isn't a major goal, breathing through the nose is a lot more healthy. In through the nose, out through the nose.

First, it filters incoming air of particulates like dust and pollen--gross stuff you don't want in your lungs. Over an hour of running, you can easily breathe 600L of air, in a city, that's a lot of pollution.

Second, it calms you. Breathing through the nose is a meditation exercise that automatically calms your mind.

Third, it reduces dehydration. Most of the water not lost through sweat and through the skin is lost through evaporation from the mouth. Through the nose instead, the same filtration system that keeps dust particles out serves as a condensation site for some of the moisture that would otherwise exit from your lungs.

Problem is, you can't run super fast breathing through your nose because of the limitation in breath volume from the restricted pathway. The article is right; IMO you should not run faster than what you can manage through nose breathing alone.
How can people be this ignorant. Literally everything you do requires somebody else labor. Many of those people get WAY less pay then the maid.

What's the implication, living in the wild by yourself? Because you don't want to be in a position to pay poor people?

Just because the maid comes to your house, and the people would build computers live in china does not change the basic economics. It only changes how it engages your sensible values.

Before it was such a cliche, it was actually a great question. Open ended, allowing you to gauge how a candidate deals with unknown problems; answers can focus on any part of what happens, giving you an idea of where the candidate has most experience; lots of opportunities to ask questions to go deeper; but also lots op opportunities to say 'yeah let's just skip this part'.

As a candidate, I loved the creativity in it, and the chances it gives you to show off knowing things that you don't necessarily need to know to do a certain job but will still make you better at it than others. Say, when you're an (average) web dev, you don't need to know much about DNS. But pointing out the difference between an A and an MX record shows you have deeper knowledge than many, or at least that you've managed some systems before.

Look, I'll admit that I too have at some point asked people 'what's the difference between an object and a class'. But that's such a shit question, today I'd only do it after having asked some other questions they completely bombed to check if they know anything at all, or after apologizing profusely for the question and blaming it on 'standardized interviewing procedure' or whatever.

I deal a lot with spatial information systems; here's my favorite question I used to ask back when I interviewed people: consider a matrix A of dimensions M x N. Assume that that matrix represents a height map, i.e. each value represents the elevation at that location of a (discrete representation of) a terrain. How would you go about filling this matrix to make it represent a pyramid, i.e. the center cell having the highest value, linearly going down to 0 (or 1) at the border cells? Start by enumerating the assumptions you make, pick the ones that make your solution simplest, then go from there describing how you'd go about relaxing the constraints of your assumptions.

Then I'd draw a sample on a small 5x5 matrix.

I've had people who couldn't understand the problem no matter how hard I tried; and then I had people who would insist on showing 5 different ways of doing it complete with big O notation (in both cycles and memory) to illustrate the trade offs.

Anyone else have any favorite interview questions they came up with themselves that you think are a good representation of your field?

The original Hyperloop proposal was elevated, so ... yes.

As far as I am aware of, there are three different things: 1) Hyperloop as originally planned, for above-ground long-distance travel 2) tunnels under dense cities, for existing cars carried on, perhaps, electric sledges, 3) a "verbal agreement" mentioned by Musk about an Easy Coast tunnel hyperloop which no government official has confirmed, and with no concrete plans that anyone can say anything about. Will it be bored? Will it be 20+m down? What route will it take?

So, what is it that you expect will be bored? A, ~5 meter wide high-speed tunnel from L.A. to San Francisco across multiple active faults? (Or rather, two such tunnels as you want traffic in both directions.)

Gas pipelines are only, what, 100-150 cm across? They are built to either move with the ground or force the earth move around them. Any such movement is going to have rather less than a 100km radius. How do we scale up that knowledge to a Hyperloop tunnel? Will we also built the Hyperloop tunnel out of steel?

This isn't bike shedding. We know it's possible to build a Hyperloop by throwing enough money at the problem. For example, we can solve above-ground thermal issues by simply enclosing the hyperloop in a flexible insulated chamber and running heaters or chillers to keep the temperature inside constant. But that would be prohibitively expensive.

Since there isn't a concrete proposal for what some high-speed long-distance tunnel is supposed to be, there's nothing to bike shed. Tom Swiftian dreams of the World of Tomorrow must first demonstrate they can overcome the hard realities the the World of Yesterday discovered.

Why didn't Tom Swift dream of upgraded sewage treatment systems?
I used to buy into the "running naturally" argument sold from Vibram, but it's the same pseudo-science that justifies buying juicers and shit. I was used to run for years.
