I wonder what effect it has on other forms of entertainment?

Suppose I'm looking for some entertainment this evening, and imagine piracy is not available, and imagine that there is a current movie in theaters that I'd like to see.

Let's say that tickets plus snacks would cost $20. If I decide that's more than I'd like to spend on an evening's entertainment, I'm probably not going to just sit at home doing nothing.

I might instead decide to watch a movie on pay-per-view for $5. There are plenty of movies that I did not deem theater worthy but that I would like to see, and would prefer not to wait until they show up on some channel that is included in my cable package.

Or maybe I'll decide the reading is the way to go for my entertainment this evening, and swing by Barnes & Noble or by Amazon's Kindle store and pick up a book and start it. Or maybe I'll pick up a magazine or two.

Or maybe I'll take a longer term view and decide to buy a game for $50. Yes, that's more than the $20 I don't want to spend on a movie, but the game will provide entertainment for several evenings.

Or maybe I'll go to a club to see a concert.

Now let's change things so piracy is available, and I decide to pirate the current movie. Since I would not have gone to the theater anyway, my choosing piracy does not effect current box office. But it does affect my spending on PPV or books or games or concerts.

I think to properly study the effects of piracy you may have to consider all forms of entertainment together as a single category.
Wrong link, you're partially agreeing with the parent (they ARE less engaged), and I don't really buy that all parents at all socioeconomic levels believe in the power of education equally. I came from lower to middle socioeconomic levels and most of my peers came from families that DEFINITELY did not value education highly.

There are contexts where object identity is meaningless, however. In mathematics, a 2 is a 2 is a 2. This 2 versus this other 2 doesn't have meaning. This can easily trip people up, and arguing that object identity is more fundamental is meaningless. In many contexts, it's the value that's important, and object references actually get in the way. The many discussions on boxed versus unboxed and value types out there are evidence of this.

I agree that in some sense you can say that "identity comparison is more fundamental that value comparison". As I added in my first comment, I think this is likely a tautology, and doesn't do much work for you at the end of the day. The important thing is keeping the two straight and doing the appropriate comparison depending on the context.
I feel that this is a false dichotomy. As I see it 'no process' is the state where any process at all may be applied depending on the individuals that come into conflict. As such, that 'no process' state includes all possible processes that might be implemented for any given event.

Whereas a process without a notion of due process, is always worse than a process with a notion of due process.

I see it as the judgement a community makes is between dealing with the conflict openly (both accuser and accused are named and aware of each other and aware of the conflict) and avoiding open conflict. And in the interest of avoiding open conflict they sacrifice fairness.

3 of the 4 are making money.

Honestly, I don't really understand it when people say they have a hard time coming up with ideas. Ideas are all around you if you are willing to pay attention and look around. IMO ideas are easy, taking action is the hard part.

I tend to look outside of the tech sector and try to even stay away from things I am interested in. I have learned the hard and costly way that my interests don't make me money. I pay attention to un-sexy, niche markets or subsets of larger markets/products. A few markets I am currently tapped into are:

- Niche learning platform mainly advertised to homeschoolers

- Math tutoring

- Niche real estate product

- Roofers

I also run 2 ecommerce sites selling niche products. Products that are really not on anyone's radar because the volume isn't there and it isn't a huge market. I get 30 to 50 orders per month and net on average $200 per order, so it is a nice passive revenue stream.

I literally have pages of ideas jotted down that as time permits I will dig into more. Lots of ideas end up getting removed from the list after I do more research and see the market isn't right or that it will take too much time or money getting it going.

And a horribly painful codebase that is a horror to work with.

Nowadays people are more comfortable with having objects that represent something, and executing operations on them, than having to bind an object to a global variable, execute a global procedure, and unbinding it.

I abhor this line of reasoning, and it is depressingly common, especially among partisans. "I can do illegal thing X because I believe that my political opponent did the same or similar."

Is has become so common that it is a tell that the person using this justification is deeply partisan or otherwise zealous in some manner or another.

I believe Rod and his detractors are all earning a different sort of punishment though. Who wants to hire a bunch of drama queens like this? It's too bad salary data isn't public like tweets. It would be interesting to see exactly how much internet drama negatively impacts a person's lifetime earning potential.

I have never understood why open source projects have taken to trying to cargo cult dispute resolution and due process.

They don't have the training, resources, or infrastructure to make it work.

Really, they should just be realistic, and say "we're gonna look at what people say, make a completely arbitrary decision, and stick with it".

I think it is worth noting that Sameer Ajmani is the manager for the Go team. While some people like to throw around strawman arguments about the Go team not liking / not seeing the point of generics, they do have first-hand experience that the difficulties from their decision to (at least so far) exclude generics from the language.
And if you have a similar experience report; please share it. I think the team wants to get generics "right", but it's a difficult design problem (compiler complexity, compiler speed, binary size, ease of use, fitting in with the language, being simple enough) so feedback will help them understand the problem better.

You think so? I think people like to call functions with comprehensible arguments.

I don't agree that people like to bind an object to a global variable, execute a global procedure, and unbind it. Does that sound like the
API of anyone's dreams? The binding and unbinding sounds like pure overhead to me.

I understand that very high performance and easy API may not be achievable, but seriously, the modern graphics APIs are hard to love.

I actually remember seeing this on some future predicting TV episode back in 1996. I remember seeing 20-story orb network connected by rail transport in a triangle pyramid formation. Each orb was like a city zone e.g. commerce, industry, residential, etc. By 1996 standards, this thing seemed ridiculous and large. I mocked it at the age of 11. And my father yelled at me for being so ... pessimistic. Back then, the show said it would be built by 2005 in the middle of the waters. Always wondered what happened to this building and this plan.

Four people resigned from the whatever-board when Rob was not asked to leave, and have written elsewhere about their repeated interactions with him. The fact that the four of them basically decided they don't wish to work in an org that Rob works in speaks (imo obviously) to him being a relatively unpleasant person to be around. Also, I'm skeptical that four people all are blowing things out of proportion, but who knows.

From the words of Vagg himself regarding said claims of inclusivity:

Note that word 'primarily'. It is the important distinction here.

Occasionally commenting on a political issue isn't a problem as long as you do it civilly; some overlap with political topics is unavoidable. But when political battles become the thing you're primarily using HN comments for, that's when it becomes abusive.

HN's purpose is the gratification of intellectual curiosity. We can't be that and be a political battlefield at the same time, so we need to draw the line somewhere. The 'primarily' test turns out to be a good place to draw the line.

(There's a separate question of what kind of comments people post when they do turn to politics. To the extent that an account does political flaming as opposed to thoughtful discussion, we adjust the line in favor of more moderation.)

Moissanite is though, and it has a higher refractive index and higher dispersion than diamond, so in the metrics that theoretically make diamond attractive as a gemstone, it's superior.
I'm guessing you have status with them? Almost every airline is great once you have status.

Personally, I hate Alaska. I fly ~2/month & avoid Alaska if I can. My wife's family is from Seattle, so sadly, they're unavoidable around the holidays.

Some grievances:

* Ridiculous fees. Before we were married my wife booked two flights for after we were married. She changed her name & realized that would cause a problem with those tickets. Southwest made the name change without a fuss. Alaska charged us $100.

When we protested & explained she had gotten married, the agent responded: "Every airline does this." "We just did it with Southwest & they didn't charge anything." "We don't consider Southwest competition."

* Alaska’s 20 Minute Bag Guarantee felt like a sham. It's no longer running (I believe), but multiple times my bags took over 30 minutes. Each time it took nearly an hour to get someone to give a voucher. And the vouchers are very limited.

* They charge for simple modifications to tickets.

* They charge for bags.

* Consistent long lines at LAX & SEA.

* Older planes. Both coach & first are C+ compared to other airlines.

* In-flight personal aren't as bad as United, but they're certainly not nice. Southwest & Virgin set the bar here & Alaska is far from it.
To give a specific example, I was part of an LGBTQ in Tech Slack group that was admined by several members of the community mentioned above.

Their CoC indicated that anyone considered a majority group (white and male being the worst) would automatically be considered at fault in any/all arguments and they would be resolved in favor of the minority.

That's the mentality at play here that does not give a space for people to defend themselves and resolve conflict. Sweep it under the rug so as to not disturb the more sensitive fringe elements, and condemn those who have not had a chance to even consider repenting.
> Lots of ideas end up getting removed from the list after I do more research and see the market isn't right or that it will take too much time or money getting it going.

That's the rub right there. "Ideas" are easy. Viable ideas you can't shoot down in 5 minutes of thinking about the problem are very, very difficult to find. Then again, it can be hard to tell if an idea is unviable or if you're just rationalizing your way into binge watching netflix for the umpteenth night in a row.
Aren't we still a ways off from when this technology can scale and become economically viable? Still, I'm sort of tempted to get one of these things off Alibaba and have it looked at.
I liked Gladwell's response, that 10,000 hours was never intended as the goal it turned into. Rather, it was intended as an order of magnitude. More than that however, it was intended to call attention to the support structure being expert requires. I.E. nobody can get 10,000 hours in on their own.

Where did the name Earth come from? https://www.indifferentlanguages.com/words/earth

I agree about networking being overrated.

What's better than networking is being good at your job, enjoying it, and enjoying working with those around you.

If you do those things, you'll have the network you need.

If you don't, get serious about finding it.
> Then you chuck that into a single-threaded, slow (relatively) runtime

Slow relative to C++, sure. But JS is very fast relative to pretty much any other widely used dynamic language. If we should expose Vulkan bindings to dynamic languages (and why not?) JS is the obvious first choice for a target, given its speed and popularity.

> JavaScript -> native transitions ain't cheap

They're actually very cheap nowadays, because so many benchmarks stress the DOM and C++-implemented builtins. Driver calls, even with Vulkan, far exceed the cost of JS-to-native transitions. glDrawElements() is probably at least 100x slower than a JS-to-native call, the latter of which has latencies measured in nanoseconds.

> Let me throw a GPU shader into a CSS3 transition animation or something like that, for example.

Please, let's not. This will neither be good for designers (modern GPU programming has an enormous learning curve compared to CSS) nor browser developers (shaders would break batching and would expose too many engine-specific internal details).
> come up with the best system of rules to promote inclusivity

The opposite argument could be made that they want an environment where they can exclude those who have different opinions.

I'm not trying to be inflammatory; I know this is a sensitive topic, but I think trying to understand both sides is necessary if inclusivity is a group tenant.
