I do the same, but I think that's harder with a family. Right now my wife and I don't have time to watch much, so we usually pick a single show together and watch it start to finish, but if we both had our own watching habits or kids I don't know what we'd do. I dont imagine anyone else would have the patience to start/stop service no matter how easy it is (I can't even get them to turn off the lights when they leave the room).
And if they fire you then their diversity quota actually improves.
>So to be clear again, many points raised in the memo—such as the portions criticizing Google’s trainings, questioning the role of ideology in the workplace, and debating whether programs for women and underserved groups are sufficiently open to all—are important topics.

I think Netflix have been very smart for producing their own original content for the past few years. While losing Disney and maybe others is a blow, it doesn't leave a void in their library for quality content.
Maybe conductivity is an issue, but I don't see why things should be set up that way.

I would ensure that both the heat sink and the top case of the CPU were grounded. I wounld't rely on that ground path, but any conduction along it would be welcome in my world.

One of my kids and his girlfriend just joined it. I looked at it briefly.

From what I got it is a place that lets people tell you what they like or don't like about you.

This, from what I gathered, is supposed to help you grow as a person.

I could be completely off base but this is the gist of what I got in the little time I looked at it.
GM purchased Cruise for access to its self-driving technology and software engineering talent. GM invested $500 million in Lyft to leverage the ride sharing platform with its future fleet of autonomous vehicles.

I think this is what every bear case since 2010 has been saying about Netflix: it was a phenomenal business while they got to exploit the quirky licensing of physical DVDs, but with streaming, content is king.

As many predicted back then (when Tilson wrote his famous letter), the cost of quality content has gone up so much that Netflix has had no choice but to let much of it go and instead produce their own to defend their margin. At some point their core business will simply be content production rather than distribution
Terrifying is you seeing your mother being bombed to shreds, not you handwaving it away with some generalized blah. Terrifying is actually you being in a concentration camp, not others being in a concentration camp while you say "oh well, just like anything else". For a story about sci-fi, there's a lot of professed lovers of it who would make someone like Isaac Asimov or Frank Herbert outright puke. You have no imagination, you have no guts, you have no sense of your own responsibility. You're someone great people write about, not for. Take it personal, but divide it up by dozens of people in this thread, all of whom warrant no more words than these.
Sorry I should have been clearer: which parts were the clear violation?
Actually I am a parent of two tween kids, and they consume a lot of Disney sitcoms.

The point was that the movie library alone isn't compelling enough for me to subscribe. If the other shows are included like TFA mentioned (and not the grandparent comment) then that's different.
I rarely recommend alerting monitoring or any kind of action based on load averages or more generally any metric derived from queue lengths. It's trends in high-quantile queue latencies your users (and therefore you should) care about.

Yes, LTC went up 10x in the same timespan that almost every reasonable coin went up 10x. That says nothing about the fundamentals of LTC. LTC simply has no value proposition after segwit on bitcoin and the alt coin rennaisance.
Great article, exquisite gifs. :^)

Including the size of each Obama JPEG could be pretty interesting too.
There was a whole industry for production of the cassettes, warehousing, distribution, retail space, service personnel which all cost a pretty packet. The cost now of putting the post-edit file on a server with a web payment has gotta be virtually zero. Any schmuck can serve a torrent to the world for the price of an internet connection -- sure, that's the baseline, and it relies on others paying the (small) real costs, but still.

Without the need for Blockbuster retail stores, that's got to cut the price in half. Being able to keep your whole back catalog in a computer rack instead of buying warehouse space in 50 different countries has to halve the costs again, surely. Account for actual material costs, factories to make the cassettes, write them, produce the cases. What are we down to now ...

$1 a month for buying 6 new movies sounds more like it.
These are your arguments, it's not a strawman when you're saying these things. These are direct quotes, of you, in this thread:

Examples of you saying women can't be part of our club, because they didn't play with the right toys when they were 12:

Women aren't tech nerds as much as men are we know that for a fact

men also takes the most high paying jobs because more of them were interested in technology early on and are better at selling themselves

is that less women start companies or get into tech early on

Examples of you saying women can't be a part of existing tech companies, they should form their own:

get more women to start a tech company

More women will hopefully start companies and I hope some of them will hire only women

Push your girls to start their own companies to build their own networks

In Norway where they have quotas all that happened is that now there is just also an old ladies network with the same women sitting on many of the boards

Pretty insane stuff. File that under "Holy cow, they really thought that would work?". Just when you think you've plumbed the depths...

Calling a deliberately inflexible format "Flexplay" is also a textbook example of DRM newspeak.

Most apps are published to both iTunes and Google Play. Most songs to Goole Music, Spotify, Apple Music and probably a few others.

As long as it's within 10yrs old, even most games are available for purchase, anywhere in the world, from the different platforms. While the majority is exclusive to Steam, other providers have their own niche markets.

When I make an IP, I want to capture as much of the market as possible, anything else is throwing money away.

The anti-trust comes from the environment where three or four media companies own all of the production and redistribution and each one believes that they can become a monopoly and get all of the money.
I don't know about that, distribution decoupled from actual value creation sounds a lot like division of labor, ie the way we've been doing things since the industrial revolution to generally great success. What's the alternative besides inefficiency and duplicated effort?

Middlemen are great, they connect buyers and sellers at scale. Without the broadcasters the NFL wouldn't expect to get paid any less, they'd just squeeze the money out of you directly. Or show you ads. Or both!

Why would I contest that?

After I just said, "there are fewer Asians playing professional basketball because Asians tend to be shorter."

Your question is like asking, "do you disagree with the fact that yao ming is at least as tall as other basketball players"

Seriously man, WTF are you doing? Are you even reading my posts???

What??

An unproductive conversation, becoming more hostile, can hurt the HN community. This is supposed to be a place for reasoned conversation. It's already difficult to maintain that. A raging flamewar won't help in that direction.
ESPN content but not the main ESPN channels. You can stream those, but only if you pay for a cable subscription.

It's more like they opened up access to ESPN3 and added a streamable back catalog of programming. It stems the tide of their massive losses due to cord-cutting while also allowing them to charge sports fans even more money.

Nobody wins.

If that works for you, that's fine... It's your money. You're probably paying this guy 1% in fees and expenses, minimum.

> open floor plan designs are conducive to collaboration between teams

This is just an overused cover-up story to avoid stating the real reasons which is cutting costs and monitoring employees.

They use "collaboration" so that you can't voice your opposition to it easily.

If you do that they will beat you with the "not a team player" and "not a culture fit" sticks.

Then in reality unhappy employees sit next to each other with noise cancelling headphones whose job has been unnecessarily harder than it already is because now a part of their mental focus and capacity is actively going towards ignoring distractions.

We can start from the implication that it's natural there are less women in the profession because most of them are biologically unsuited to it.

Speaking with experience of the Python Stripe library, automatic type conversions, native exceptions, keeps my code cleaner.

If it were a simple API, I might agree, but Stripe does a lot of stuff and in payments, many things can go wrong. Particularly being able to directly handle exceptions (rather than picking apart obscure status codes) is a godsend.

Free Speech is not identity politics. Free speech covers a gay person's right to speech & the right for abortion supporters to speak their mind.

Free speech also covers the speech of people on the political right (& left). Free speech is a fundamental American value.

Identity Politics are not about rights but about granting privilege to the "victim" groups & in it's extreme form, to justify oppressing the rights of people who don't buy into the dogma. Not the same thing. Free speech is about freedom. The Identity Politics that we see today is about Autocracy.

If they were separate arguments, then album sales wouldn't have dropped after iTunes started selling $0.99 a song. CD Singles have been around forever but everyone paid the extra couple dollars to get the rest of the album even though in many cases very little effort was made producing the rest of the album.
Ah yes, let's be lectured on what tolerance really means from people who call everyone to the right of Marx a Nazi and loudly deride white people and cheer on their extinction.

Remember kids, the left is the authority on all that is good and right in this world, and dissent will not be tolerated.

Well I can't speak for Google about why it funds Go. My own observations are that Rob probably made Go just to be a language that he likes and that it is also a good fit for the way things are done at Google.

I'm in the odd position that when I go to work as an SRE at Google, I hardly use Go, but at home I like to use it for hobby projects which are rarely servers. When I do use Go at work, it is for tools that I run on my workstation.

So (a) even at Google there is more to life than servers, and (b) Go benefits from being attractive to people who are not at Google and/or not writing servers.

Disney Owns:

Marvel
Disney Animation
Pixar
Touchstone Pictures
ABC
ESPN
LucasArts

If they have a whole streaming platform with all the content from each of these, no way its $30/year, more like $30/month.
Can you provide a tl;dr?
I am not paying another $10 for another service. Enough is enough, I can live without Disney stuff. If I really "need it" I'll go to the library.
I wish them luck keeping things running smoothly when a new Star Wars movie is released.
I think it should count. Emacs might come from a different time but it's plenty user friendly for a text editor, it even has graphical menus and a package manager. What more do you want?
Look beyond headlines and you'll see that the vast majority of cryptocurrency mining is powered by regionally oversupplied renewable power. Here's the biggest in the world located in Iceland, its 100% renewable.

The fact is that Disney is extremely savvy and knows how to produce content that sells with a nearly 100% success rate. They are simply a marketing and merchandising machine.

They use the vault the way diamond miners do- to restrict supply of extremely coveted goods so that they can charge premium prices for them. It's good business and it keeps things that are decades old in constant demand so they can charge higher prices for them.

Unfortunately for you and me that means that if we want access we have to pay more. While it may certainly be true that you don't place enough value on Disney products to pay a premium, there are lots of people who will and there are probably still going to be times that you want access to it and consider signing up. That's what they want- if they commoditized their content and you were able to get access to everything they own for $30 a month, that wouldn't serve their purposes at all. Companies like Netflix dream of having one franchise that's as successful as the countless ones that Disney has. Why on Earth would they just have a fire sale for all of their content when they can restrict supply and extract the most profit from it?
That's why working from home is the holy grail :D
>"Finally, one piece of advice I got when I first transitioned into management was that "first-time managers usually fall into the trap of becoming the manager they wish they had. What you really need to do is figure out how to be the manager that each person on your team wishes they had, and become that manager."

That is a very salient point. Managing a team of multiple people of different backgrounds, experience levels, quirks, communication styles, pet peeves, etc. is an exercise in adaptation.

As a Director, there are certain things you need your team to adapt to in order to keep your team on track with your strategy and process. How you go about getting them to do that is all about you adapting to them to get them excited, help them overcome hurdles, break down communication barriers, and build your relationship so they know you have their backs and you know you can rely on them.

It sounds easy in principle, but it is incredibly difficult in reality, particularly for those who may be stronger on the technical side than the communication side.

And P.S., you won't always be successful, so start planning for when (not if) you will fail in that regard. That means making sure your team knows that you are always open to their candid feedback so you can do a better job of supporting them.

On a final note, I'm quite partial to this illustration that nicely sums up your role in relation to your team [1]. In another sense, some see an org chart with them at the top and their team beneath them. I see it as an inverse pyramid with the leader at the bottom supporting each and every one of their team members because your success is wholly dependent on their success at that level.

Can you quote the exact portion of his post that made this claim?

If not, then why did you state it??

> he completely ignores the fact that ratios in other high stress high prestige professions such as medicine and law [0][1] (which have dramatically higher barriers to entry than technology while also having a much stronger historical precedence for being male dominated [we forget that programming was female dominated until the 70s]), while not even, hover at around 2:1[0][1] as opposed the 4 or 5 :1 we see in technology.

That sucks that he ignored that. Fortunately, others have addressed it. Here you go:

Why is Disney content so important to you, do you think watching a specific brand of movie/show is _that_ enriching to your child's life?

Disney's attitude to selling to children is toxic IMO. But perhaps if you fully inhale you actually do start to get happier by just buying the latest movie franchise tie-in toy, made of cheap plastic using exploited labour?

If you want to really see what the environment is like now, read the bitcointalk ico announcement threads. It's absolutely insane. Very little of that stuff makes its way to hn.

People are raising money with 10 page vague 'white papers' with ideas that make no sense or are completely unworkable on the blockchain.

There is very little skepticism or research with these icos . Most of the commenters are trying to help the project and receive tokens in return, do tasks to qualify for free tokens ( bounties ) , or promote the ico so their token value increases

If there was a good way to short individual ico tokens it might bring some sanity

Absolutely. And with some data suggesting that a very significant part of youtube playtime is through small children on their mothers' accounts, such content availability will have strong ripple effects.
No, you're stupid because you're using an example that's a biological function primarily to do with women.
