I doubt they put up Ducktales content on Youtube expecting hundreds of millions of view and a ton of advertising money. It's more to have the IP consumed and fresh in kids' and parents' minds for when a new Ducktales movie or toy comes out to support the reboot. The reboot is more of an ad for future monetizable products than anything else.
I'm envisioning a comedy sketch, that will sadly likely become truth:

"The algorithm said we can't let you in because it thinks you're a threat."

"Can you tell me what it considered threatening, or how it makes its assessments?"

"Can't tell you how the algorithm works - that would be revealing national security secrets."

"Well can I be re-evaluated?"

"Yep. One moment. Okay, you fail again."

"What? Why?"

"It says here you tried to pry into the inner workings of vital national security technology, by asking how the algorithm works. That's an automatic disqualification from entry. Enjoy your flight home, and thank you for not entering the United States."
okay, that is a big deal.

I think part of the reason is people look at Linode/Vultr/DO and presume that 1/2TB for $5 is the market price (and then quote HE.Net/Cogent/Hibernia offering 10G to certain colos at $2-5kpm as backing proof), or dedicated servers with 10TB for $50pm etc... Linode/Vultr/DO mainly work off an average usage of 1%-2%, although at least they dont stop you deploying more boxes as you reach the limit, you can get clever and one would presume they dont invoke some TOS clause. I imagine GCP, AWS, and Azure bandwidth cost is closer to the truth at running a network that is resilent and can scale beyond 100G, the transit or costs of fiber is probably only a tiny fraction when pushing beyond 100G per region, vs your low end VPS provider, let's not forget the epic fail of Linode DDOS handling. I do agree though in comparison it sounds expensive.

What's the difference at that point if Disney's content is on Amazon rather than Netflix. They are betting that their entire catalog (ABC, Marvel, Star Wars, ESPN, etc) is worth more direct to consumer than whatever small fraction they are getting of every subscriber fee.

I kinda see where you're coming from but it's awfully heavy handed and ultimately blames a lack of determination on having children. A good deal of people live by the bicycle, "millennial" or not. There's no virtue signaling happening here. You can either get over it or continue to have a bad attitude- it's not up to me.
You're correct that LEDs aren't actually producing light like a hot black body radiator, but we still measure their shade of white using that scale as a reference. This is called the "correlated color temperature," which you'll almost always see abbreviated to CCT. It's not "this light was produced by a black body radiator at 5000K", it's "this light is perceived by the human eye as the same color as a 5000K black body radiator. Where does the human-perceived color fall on the Plankian locus?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planckian_locus

As far as cheapness, yes and no. The swimming pools that I've designed tend toward the more blueish whites and low CRI because they have a light level target to hit and that's the cheapest way to do it. With the exception of some small residential pools, they aren't trying to make a warm cozy feeling, they just want it to be bright enough to meet the requirements for safety / code / IES recommendations / NCAA requirements, etc.

But a lot of lighting isn't done that way where you're determining the layout and quantity of lights to hit a target level at lowest cost. It's much more common that you pick the color temperature that you want it to look like and you buy that regardless of the exact light output.

LED bulbs at the store have a Lighting Facts label that tells you the color temperature and how bright it is, and the different CCTs of a given brand bulb will cost the same. Yes, you get more light out of the more blue one, but when you're getting bulbs for you're house you'd never say "Get the 4000K version. It's an extra 100 lumens, so we can light the house with 17 of them instead 18 and save a few bucks."

Interestingly there are cultural conventions to this too. In the US it's much more common to see the warmer color temperatures in homes and even in offices. In Asia and India you'll encounter a lot more blue.

My complaint is not just that counterfeit exists, but Amazon's lackluster response in dealing with it (here's your refund; now GTFO). Secondly, I'd guess that WF may have 1 ~ 2 suppliers for a given product, but Amazon may have hundreds, if they eventually allow 3rd party sellers. So they would have a harder time vetting their suppliers just by numbers alone. Finally, Amazon's warehousing policy of co-mingling stocks from different suppliers exacerbates the problem further.

I'm going crazy trying to sort through this. Got a job offer with one of the big bay area companies. $140K base + bonus/stock to get to $210K.

Microsoft's "home" is in Redmond. Tableau's "home" is in Fremont. The offices in Bellevue are just satellites.
> Cupertino is like hide-and-go-seek except with Apple offices. Almost every office building is Apple.

While I agree, it's not immediately obvious these are Apple buildings. The buildings outside the main campus are dull 1980s style offices and the only hint they're Apple is the small emblem hidden on the side of the building. If you are driving down the street it can be difficult to tell.

For example, 19925 Stevens Creek Blvd is an Apple building but there's no way of knowing that unless you spot the small white apple emblem next to the driveway. Otherwise it looks just like a regular office building.

https://www.google.com/maps/@37.3230321,-122.0215347,3a,60y,...

20330 Stevens Creek Blvd is even worse, there isn't even a logo anywhere just the letters 'APPLE' in tiny font on a nondescript sign. I had no idea this was Apple until someone showed me.

https://www.google.com/maps/@37.3228536,-122.0285457,3a,75y,...

If you are just driving down Stevens Creek there is a good chance you won't realize how expansive Apple is. They are not flashy buildings.
This is a strange (repeated) response. Google set up a web detour without users' consent, and has a flagger waving upset people back to canonical links.

Apple _is_ routing people back to the main road, not because of Google's suggesting it, but because it's the only reasonable thing to do.

The implication of your comment is that if Google has asked Apple to pass on the AMP links that they would do so, which I highly doubt.

A far more appropriate summary is: Apple is acting to correct Google's interference with web links; irrespective of Google's desires.
Weyerhauser's HQ was a large property along I-5 between Auburn and Fife. Not really a Seattle phenomenon, especially the logging which happened in the peripheral counties. So i'll place a vote for the Boeing effect gestating the grunge era. It was poor, and it was grungy.

Interestingly, Weyerhauser has sold the old HQ and relocated to a downtown Seattle high rise.
Beyond that wall of text, a quick note on units. It's interesting (and correct!) that you put "efficiency" in quotes because (at least from an engineering perspective) efficiency is pretty strictly defined to things with equivalent units. You can divide one by the other and measure it as a percentage.

Amount of light you get per watt doesn't quite fit the bill, so we have a closely related measurement called "luminous efficacy."

Units for that are lumens per watt, where lumens are a measure of amount of light (basically watts of EM radiation weighted by the human eye's sensitivity at each wavelength), and watts are the electrical energy consumed per second.

Probably more than you wanted to know, but you never know when that piece of trivia might come in handy.
Just curious. How many years of experience do you have?

Huh? VPS and dedicated hosts usually charge below a penny per gigabyte over your traffic limit, and if you open a support ticket they will usually work with you towards something in the sub-$4 per TB range.
They're not co-mingled yet, but there's no assurance that they won't in the future. And if / when they do, they're unlikely to forewarn you.

I was on the video end of it years ago.

Not acting, but selling out of copyright videos. Most poeople don't know this, but the copyright for most porn videos are dead after, I believe late 70's. It doesn't matter, producers don't care about copyrights. Most of the porn was stolen.

All those glossy videos, or most of those and DVD's are stolen, recopied, and put into three color separation slick packaging.

The three color printing separation was the biggest expense.

The business was slimey. My buddy ended up bankrupt. The average person has no idea how depressing the entire industry is.

Every actress, and actor had a drug problem. The men were huge drinkers.

I remember going to a convention. It was a porn business convention. I remember walking with my friend. I felt like people were looking at my clothes, and not my face. They were looking at my package. Yes--I was young and nieve. My package is small, but at the time they thought I was in the films.

Well, besides not being sexy. Every aspect of the business seemed to be connected to some syndicate.

Well, my friend, and my mom's boyfriend lost all his money. His buddy from childhood betrayed him. I helped him, but refused to invest. I just couldn't figure out how to make any real money. Yes--we gave away tapes.

Sex sell though. The only entertainment sites I ever paid for were porn sites. My hormones have decreased with age, and I have no need to pay for porn. I do still go to the free sites.

I've thought about building a porn site, but for the life of me I can't figure out how they make so much money.

I've thought about building site that caters to old flames. You sign up. You write about the love of your life. You ask politely for a video. If he, or she happens to be a member of the site, and sends the other member a video--yes--mission accomplished? I guess? There's a lot of liability I imagine?
Building it doesn't seem that hard. You are just putting two people, who once knew each other together--digitally. Hell, this is the rest reason I should gender up for FB years ago. Never had much fun on FB though.

Anyways, I leave with this. There was nothing about the actual industry that was sexy on the business end. At the end of the day, I felt like I just finished watching Boogie Nights. That weird empty feeling.

Its a reasonable guess, but my onservation is you are wrong. Seattleites are generally enjoying these boom times, where jobs are plentiful and even waiting tables pays $15/hr. People seem to quietly appreciate the Amazon effect, it isn't remarked upon often compared to other issues of the day.
As I'm now on my laptop with access to the two simple programs; for text output:

import encodings
var hello1 = convert("Hellø, wørld!", "850", "UTF-8")

# Doesn't work - seems to think current codepage is utf8.
var hello2 = convert("Hellø, wørld!", getCurrentEncoding(), "UTF-8")

# Outputs correct text:
echo hello1
# Outputs corrupted text:
echo hello2

(And simply outputting an unconverted string fails, like hello2 does).

As for the linking problem I had, the main issue is that it seems to be harder than it probably should, to get started with the GUI-programming with nim on windows. The following code works, provided one manually obtains sdl2.dll (and sdl2.lib for static linking) - however, even with static linking flags (no errors), the resulting exe still depends on the presence of sdl2.dll:

import nimx.window
import nimx.text_field
import nimx.system_logger

proc startApp() =
var window = newWindow(newRect(40, 40, 800, 600))
let label = newLabel(newRect(20, 20, 150, 20))
label.text = "Hellø, wørld!"
window.addSubview(label)

runApplication:
startApp()

With sdl2.dll (and .lib) in the same folder both of these work:

nim --threads:on --dynlibOverride:SDL2 --passL:SDL2.lib c -r win.nim

nim --threads:on c -r win.nim

but both fail without sdl2.dll present (ie: the "statically" linked exe still depends on dynamically loading sdl2.dll).

And there's so far no easy way of getting a "supported" sdl2.dll to go with the nim compiler - as far as I can tell, neither "nimble install sdl2" or "nimble install nimx" provide a way to get the sdl2.dll and/or C source code to compile it.

But perhaps managing DLLs and such is considered to be out-of-scope for nimble/nim package manager for now.

I hope that the option of an 'opt out' or 'disable AMP' option (whether globally or on a per-result basis) is explored in the future. As an iOS user I have found AMP to be a frustrating experience. I'm sure you are including iOS users when you say "We know that most users love the experience" but for me AMP has been annoying.

I wrote a comment earlier about my experience with AMP from my perspective as purely a user. Please excuse some of the rantiness of it. Like i said, I can get a little frustrated with AMP at times.

Do bigger things with Samsung's Note 8
I don't know what a good answer is, my recollection of those examples is no one else is slowing down so I need to go the same speed in order to not be rear ended and hope the car in front of me knows what they are doing. This feels pretty unsatisfactory.

The speed limit is kind of interesting, occassionally see someone go the speed limit on I-5 but it's hard to maintain because there's always an eighteen wheeler going slower than that, and then it hits a hill, and then there's a cascade reaction where the slow lane hits 45-50 for an extended period but the fast lane is going 75-95, though just being patient and waiting in the slow lane isn't a big deal for a autodriving car, or 280 between San Francisco and San Jose with sections where it appears almost everyone is going 85 miles per hour (not sure why CHP doesn't just camp out there). I see Teslas in both these places but I've never seen a Waymo.

Give me all the Disney things

This would totally be worth $10/month to have access to the entire Disney catalog; the entire "Disney Vault", all the content from the 60s, 70s, and 80s; all the Wonderful World of Disney; all the classic Disney movies (the entire catalogs of the likes of Fred MacMurray, Annette Funicello, Tommy Kirk, Keenan Wynn and other contract Disney actors from those eras; movies like The Black Hole, Apple Dumpling Gang, The North Avenue Irregulars and other stuff that, if it's available at all, is only currently findable used on VHS); all the animated Disney movies; all the Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck shorts; all the Mickey Mouse Club episodes, all the tween-centric episodic shows, etc.

This would potentially be worth more than $10/month.

If it's just going to be the popular animated feature-length movies, it's not worth $10/month. And they could still screw this up by not having the entire animated movie catalog available for random streaming, but rather only a subset available at any given time.

Disney has a truly massive archive of quality, family content, much of which hasn't been seen for decades and few people even know about or remember. It would be a shame if it continues to rot in obscurity in their vault.
Microsoft has offices in Bellevue as well. If Tableau is in Fremont they moved and I missed it. They're still comparable to Amazon and in the Seattle metro area yet outside the "prime" locations.

Does a 304 with Fetch have a status of OK? Reason I ask is our middleware in our redux app would treat this as a successful request and then consequently dispatch a FETCH_SUCCESS action. Re-renders would still occur.

That said, the middleware could be updated to specifically handle 304s differently.

Thanks for the idea!
It depends on whether the switched-on values are sparse. Contiguous ranges of bytecodes are more efficiently compiled to straight jump tables (and enable indirect branch prediction mechanisms in CPUs to work).

For another boost to leveraging indirect branch prediction, threaded code is still a little better since each VM instruction has a unique jump call site: http://eli.thegreenplace.net/2012/07/12/computed-goto-for-ef...
