> Long term, we'll probably wind up with a couple of major marketplaces that provide a UI that ties together content bundles that you've purchased from different distributors (who will actually serve up their catalogs).

If you actually had something like that, it could know that you watched Cosmos on Netflix and then suggest physics lecture videos from Open Courseware. It could suggest YouTube videos alongside Hollywood movies.

Which is exactly what the studios don't want, because they want you watching only their content. That is the real reason they're so obsessed with DRM -- they want creating that to be prohibited by law, because it would allow a free market for content curation instead of allowing the major studios to control it.

It's the same reason they don't like Netflix. Netflix is producing their own content and is happy to accept content from small players. It's not a fully open market but it's still too much like real competition.

But fragmentation isn't going to save them. People aren't going to subscribe to a dozen separate streaming services each with their own incompatible interface.

Hopefully they'll realize that sooner rather than later and decide that it's better to have open interfaces and protocols than let someone else (i.e. Netflix) have market power.
Well Atom, Code etc are written in javascript; i would wholly expect an editor written in java run laps around them.
Of course we could remove them. That isn't the question. The question is, at what price?

Would it be less than 25 million dead?

The answer to that question is not obvious. That's how bad the problem is.
LET'S FIRE THE ROCKETS
When I worked at Google I saw far worse things being said about those who held conservative opinions on Memegen and eng-misc. The real issue is not that he expressed opinions that could be constituted as harassment, that happens all the time at Google, the only problem is that he dared to hold the "wrong" opinion, counter to the dominant culture.
And it looks like just today Atom has another release (1.19) that supposedly helps performance for large documents: http://blog.atom.io/2017/08/08/atom-1-19.html
Not much to see there - someone decided to ride the wave and get a little pr for their company out of it.
Very true, but I'd rather spend $40 on the shows I like than $80 on the shows I like plus a crapton of garbage.

If the producers get more money out of the deal, I have no problem with that. I'd rather they be the ones getting the money.

As it is now, I buy my stuff ala carte. I do subscribe to netflix, but I've pretty much seen what I want there. Every once in a while they get someting new I want to see, but not often enough for it to be my go-to for entertainment.

So I pay per show rather than channel. My wife and I consistently pay less than cable and just get the shows we want to see.

I wasn't sure it would work out that way, but a month or so ago I asked my wife how the cost was working out (she does the finances), and it's less than cable. I can't remember how much at the moment, but less than half I think.

Personally, the part I don't like about paying multiple providers isn't the paying multiple part. It's not having a single interface to get to them.
In as much as society didn't exactly elect Trump. There are many ways people get exploited by special interests.
Did you even read his fucking comment or do you just cherry pick phrases and build a strawman from that ?
You'd happily give away those dollars to the content owners, if they'd just let you stream it legally.
I think it relates to the surface area:volume ratio. The implication is that a smaller animal will have a relatively higher surface area to lose heat to, thus necessitating increased metabolic rate to make up for that loss.

That doesn't look very enticing at all.
Yay for nuance and social & historical context!

I'm always seriously surprised by how easily convinced people are of flimsy equivalencies. Every debate on the Internet, it feels like there's a swarm of people that believe that taking a stand against intolerance or bigotry is the same as bigotry itself.

I always encourage everyone to read MLK's Letter from a Birmingham Jail, especially his critique of white moderates: "Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection."
This was flagged and removed, for no reason that I can see, so I vouched for it to be unremoved (please let me know if I was wrong?).

Overall, this seems like a very insightful take on something that has been troubling me for a while now, namely how do you practice tolerance if you are intolerant of people?

I think there's more room for discussion than TFA goes into, but it strikes me as a very good starting point.
The CEO also explained what was not ok:

"However, portions of the memo violate our Code of Conduct and cross the line by advancing harmful gender stereotypes in our workplace"[1]

What we'll see is a period of fragmentation as more content houses exhibit this same rent-seeking behaviour, followed by another period of aggregation.

I predict the winners will be determined primarily by UX and library size, not by price or exclusive content. People seem more irked by the sheer number of potential services than anything else.
My first long term project (greatest yet) started in January this year. It's an extension to Notepad++ which makes into a lightweight IDE - sort of.

The reason it was created is because the only stable option for developing on this specific platform was to buy an IDE from IBM. My goal is to provide a free option to developers.

This project only started because I couldn't afford the IBM product.
I counted approximately 400 feature films excluding Lucas, Mavel.

> the entire population would have to come down with cancer every three months

The 40% risk of getting cancer doesn't mean 40% of the population will get cancer. Environmental factors increase the risk. I'm not quite sure how you're arriving at that conclusion.
Is press really free when 90% of it is held by 5 billionaires ? (France)I'm not arguing against the bulk of the argument but really calling a profit-driven press "free" is a bit of a stretch imo (though there's a difference to be made between, say, French press and press against dictatorship, I'll admit, but this doesn't change my point)
Why are people throwing money at these? It makes no sense. You have no guarantee that they won't just run off with the money, except your trust in the operators.
True I can't stand typing in a "text editor" only to see it lagging behind. That wasn't a thing back in DOS and that shouldn't be a thing today!
> Expecting firms to give their employees a forum to speak openly about anything not work related is a recent phenomenon across the board, and many still hold onto the view that if you want to engage in political discussions then do so outside of the workplace.

But Google does this (Memegen and eng-misc), the problem is that you're only able to speak about certain things and entertain certain opinions...so naturally, conservatives will feel muzzled and want to not go against the dominant culture/power structures
As an expatriate Kenyan, looking back at home over the last few years has shown a huge increase in investment by both MNCs setting up there and investors flocking to back local companies. But it's usually a huge wave of euphoria, helped by a government that wants to appear welcoming, which then peters out as the company projects get bogged down in corruption, resource volatility and inconsistent outflow of human capital. Eventually it becomes a sunk cost but the company continues to operate there low-key while they look for other strategies.

I suspect a very similar situation is happening in many other African states that are pro-investment.

I would say that a key thing to bear in mind is that investments in Africa are first and foremost just that: investments. They could fail. And treating it as a homogeneous body is akin to saying you're investing in North America instead of saying you're investing in a specific company in South Carolina because of xyz economic, social and political factors.
Don't most startups have similar hopes?

I am really puzzled about your perspective on job-hunting decisions, such that you see this, and nothing else, as the relevant context which would allow any of us here to give you useful advice.
> Forcefully ejecting Nazis, fascists, Gamergaters, and their fellow-travellers from our communities, is both the morally correct thing to do and deeply practical.

Does not (always) follow. The point is a peace treaty between between who do not otherwise get along. Obviously some of the people you are talking about are provocateurs, but if by "fellow-travellers" you mean people who have principled objections to your own ideology, then you've missed the point.

> My observation about conservatives on this issue has been that they become defensive when they hear "conservatives have caused global warming with their capitalism, and the only solution is to repudiate the entire conservative world view".

Indeed. Things get particularly ludicrous when you hear people saying that Communism or something like it is the only way to avoid damaging the planet; there was no pollution like Communist pollution, and the Left was hostile to the first Earth Day -- it felt too much like Hitler.

I've heard the expression "watermelons" applied to a lot of this: people who are Green on the outside, Red on the inside.
can you cite any evidence from the article to support that claim? the closest thing i can see to that is this statement:

> This is why “white separatism” is, in practice, just a rebranding of white supremacy; white separatists never seem to suggest that they should be the ones who should leave their homes and lives behind.

nothing about that implies "white-hating antifa marxist" to me at all. i don't think a strong distaste for white separatism implies hatred of white people, and conflating those viewpoints is highly disingenuous at best (but it seems much more likely to me to be an attempt at trolling, or white supremacist apologetics).
Thanks, it makes sense.

The article cited in the OP says:

"""
Our historical dataset contains 5 minute mid-prices for 43 CME listed commodity
and FX futures from March 31st 1991 to September 30th, 2014. We use the
most recent fifteen years of data because the previous period is less liquid for
some of the symbols, resulting in long sections of 5 minute candles with no price
movement. Each feature is normalized by subtracting the mean and dividing by
the standard deviation. The training set consists of 25,000 consecutive observations
and the test set consists of the next 12,500 observations.
"""

(excerpt from https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2756331)

That sounds to me as if the only data they trained the model are a bunch of prices.

I'm I reading it correctly?

We're a lot closer to it than you probably realize. Actually in some similar use cases we're already there.
So I'd expect every employee posting "The Future is Female" or "#YesAllMen" or something on Memegen/Eng-Misc to be fired as well...but that is not going to happen.

Shouldn't it be "...will pull its content FROM Netflix"?

As written the headline implies that Disney is going to remove Netflix-owned content from their (Disney's streaming facilities).
You see ... all that precious space inside the building ... we just can't have private offices if we want to move forward and make great things happen.

Is this being reposted here today because of the latest scandal inside Google?

If so, do we really feel that the "manifesto", citing gender differences supported by scientific research, was intolerant?

Or is "intolerance" simply being redefined to mean "disagreement with a particular political agenda"?

They have like a dozen languages in like 5 different scripts. Their advantage is that English is ending up as the common tongue of India, so there's lots of English there.
The Roku does this as well, without giving preferential treatment to any particular vendor.
I'm not even sure i could watch $50/month of streaming content. I can barely keep up with HBO and Netflix pumping out content on a weekly basis.

I could see a family buying a plethora of bundles, but I strongly suspect it will continue to be cheaper than the equivalent cable package.

I can't speak at all for sports; i imagine that alone could be hundreds a month to watch a local game.
Money is always a factor, but just like the other factors the amount matters. I’ve taken a little less money before because I liked the job and had control. I also believed it would work out in the end and it did.

I happily admitted if someone offered me %30+ more money I would think hard about leaving. I remember telling my boss that exact thing at the time and he understood. The honesty is one of the reasons I enjoyed the job.
Questions like this are showing that the bubble is about to pop...
Aren't Amazon and Netflix building content because they can make way more profit out of it, like the cost to buy the content is vastly inflated? They're not making it as charity.
As a non-American, I find it quite worrying that American companies (specifically tech and SV ones) that operate globally are so eager to police politics on their platforms.

While I don't agree with White power rallies (which should go without saying), they have as much right to service as any other political group.

StackOverflow already took an "open-borders, anti-Trump, or get out mentality", so its not a stretch to say that any right leaning belief, or more acurately any non-extreme left belief will be under fire from more and more companies.

That is troubling indeed.
Star Wars is already the movies, plus two animated series (Clone Wars and Rebels). You can look at the Marvel strategy to see where it could go, with multiple movies a year plus multiple tv/streaming series (Agents of Shield, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Legion, Defenders, Gifted, Inhumans, Punisher, Runaways). If all that Marvel content moves to Disney streaming, plus new Star Wars content, plus their kids TV shows, plus Pixar, ABC, and ESPN, then you have a package that is really strong.
Yes. Depends on client bandwidth and CPU, but it's significant. In fact, it's insanely high. Not caring about "just another 100 KB" is how people end up with 2-5 MB bundles that take seconds to download on weak networks and seconds to execute on weak devices.
I'm starting to get sick of everyone coming out with their own streaming service. I cancelled my $200/month cable because I could pay $10/month for Netflix. I now pay for Netflix, HBO, Amazon Prime, and Hulu...it's starting to add up again. At this rate we're going to be right back where we started.

Just consolidate already and get over it. Sheesh.
To be more precise, he is implying that its possible a smaller fraction of women are both equipped and inclined to do the work than the fraction of men who are both equipped and inclined to do the work.
I wonder if this has to do with the Vid Angel/Disney lawsuit and the recent workaround that allows Vid Angel to filter Disney movies on Netflix. By moving their movies off of Netflix, they effectively block Vid Angel again.

Disney is going to lose this bout. Netflix's is more diversified than Disney and one has to ask would the actual consumer want to have two or three streaming services?

Netflix is doing anime, soon comic book movies (they bought Millar world) and they don't have the bricks and mortal politics that the studios have with theaters throughout the planet. i.e. Asia and religious countries.
>the same business model applied to a fiat currency

Ding ding ding, winner! So many of these just have no point in being as companies, let alone as a token.

At The STC, we're going to end sex trafficking in just like Apple and Amazon (and now Google and Spotify) ended music piracy. To operate, we must be an extrajurisdictional company which makes cryptocurrencies a useful way to get investment and pay dividends. But we're not going to issue tokens -- only shares. Ethereum will help us keep track of share ownership and allow easy trading, but we're not a "blockchain company".

I hope we see a new wave of post-ICO companies using these technologies as a means to an end, not an end in and of itself. We're probably leaving money on the table by saying that and not hyping up tokens and tech. Oh well, we're going to create a valuable business instead.
I didn't say that hatchbacks were SUVs, it was simply a comp as the sedan market is giving way to the compact SUV in the US.

$36K is pretty close to average car price in the US now:

https://www.edmunds.com/about/press/average-vehicle-transact...

I think you are right that there are many people who can't afford a $35K car which is why leasing is seeing such an uptick:

https://www.edmunds.com/about/press/automotive-lease-volume-...

A compact SUV is one of the best selling card this year in the US and at ~20K its not actually that pricey compared the average car price in the USA of $34K.

And the compact SUV is looking like it it will dislodge the sedan's long dominance. See:

Definitely a great idea — I'm not sure if there are any limitations around buying and selling small fractional amounts of cryptocurrencies, but if there aren't, dollar-cost averaging is a great idea to apply.

At least in those days they didn't pretend like that was a beautiful thing.

Now we have these charlatans who not only want to push these concepts. But also want everyone to acknowledge just how great they are.

And not to mention the proponents are never seen working in one for a single day.

It's only good for the peasants.
So then your issue isn't the cost, and if someone came with an app that would "merge" all service into a single app where you can stream for all of them from a single place, you'd be happy?

I don't think that's what others are complaining about though. Price was definitely the issue of the top commenter as they mention 10$/month and 30$/year. But it makes no sense because back in the cable days, people paid 50-100$ if not more for packages. Now, even with all 4 big services, you're still only at 40$, and imo, having an ondemand service where you can stream anything you want at any time (not only that, but with most of them, with multiple people watching in parallel) is a far superior service.

I think people are just getting more entitled for content that has had billions of dollars poured into it. 10$ a month is nothing. It's literally two coffee. If you watch one episode per week and don't even share your account, you're already getting value out of it.
