Ehh, netflix switched to that. It's even less useful now: there's no way to indicate you really like a show vs it's not terrible; this means your taste approximately correlates with abailable content, not content you prefer.

The real win would be empowering the user to choose their own rating style. I don't see this happening because it's much harder to push content at users this way.
You are right, it was the SEC rather than FTC, my bad. But no, it was the late 1970s, not the 1990s.
Quoting the code as it is doesn't show its development history. The cache_info could have been a tuple originally then updated to a namedtuple.

Regardless, through conversation I am confident that at least one of the core devs thinks about namedtuple in that manner. Not as namedtuple's only purpose, but as one major benefit. Further, the core devs are not a single entity, but many people who don't always agree with each other.

Google only gets to decide what you can do on google websites. Without net neutrality, Comcast, in its de facto monopoly position, gets to decide what you do on -all- websites.

Of course this affects american companies, as the whole thing is primarily designed as a weapon for the EU against US dominance in the consumer space.

The big problem for the EU is that consumers actually choose the best product in a free market (the internet of free services), and they overwhelmingly decided to use the US-based options.

All the framing as "nefarious" is propaganda, consumers choose freely the option they value the most. If someone else comes along providing more value than google or facebook everyone would switch in an instant.
Cartridge is easily big enough to contain a camera (see phone tech) so I'm not sure it makes much sense to make a system which separates the two. A digital photo frame with built-in camera seems more plausible, cute as it is to emulate an old Polaroid machine.
> "Research & innovation create new product categories. No amount of consumer spending invents new products."

Potential consumer spending does create the space for new products.

Take VR as an example. The recent resurgence in VR has been made possible by the disposable income of gamers, especially PC gamers. Look at the high amounts of money being spent by gamers. If that disposable income did not exist, the resurgence of VR would look very different, and products like the Vive and the Rift are unlikely to have emerged.

As for whether consumer spending drives scientific research, depends on what you class as consumer spending. For example, do you class student loans as consumer spending? Do you class government taxes as consumer spending? I'd suggest that funding from a diverse group of people is more reliable than hoping a handful of rich people do the right thing.
You probably know this but because of project Treble for future versions after Android Oreo will probably be adopted more quickly. It is unlikely for Oreo to do much better then Nougat then from what I have read.
I've never understood what would happen if Google or Facebook just ignored EU regulations, claimed that they were not under the EU's jurisdiction, and ignored any judgement. Would the EU erect a great firewall at that point?

In very broad strokes, strategy games are (very likely) CPU-bound while FPS is more GPU-bound.

Alas, strategy games while CPU bound are not fully capable of using any number of threads -- Cities: Skylines tops out around 8 threads, for example.

Are you under the impression that executives are not employees? Or that the "talents" of executives are rare?

And no, the rarity nor value of the employees skills matter, and hasn't for quite awhile now (since at least the 1980s). The view you depict is the 'free market' one, where profit always rapidly decreases to zero based upon rational competition. Tell me, do you see many companies with profit margins rapidly approaching zero?

I'm not sure "transparency" means what you think it means.

Transparency is when powerful entities (companies, governmental bodies, elected officials…) disclose stuff about themselves. Allowing a business as big as Google or Facebook to use all their user's data as they see fit is not transparency, it's mass surveillance.

Another example is animal slaughter according to tradition that would be illegal due to cruelty without religious excuse.

Yet another example is permission to build mosques including permission for adhan. Without religious excuses you are not allowed to do equivalent things because it is sound pollution. A simple majority of germans is officially atheist. No, Germany doesn't need mosques just because it has churches, yet some politicians say so.

These are just some examples I'm aware of. However, I feel the underlying cause: guilt-culture. It starts with indoctrination in school and is semi-official part of the German state. I hope it will end soon.

This is completely orthogonal to real anti-trust legislation against the hardwired ISPs, which both parties seem to be incapable of.

Net Neutrality didn't officially exist for the first 3 decades of the Internet; I never thought making it official policy fixed a big enough problem to make it worth the cost. A lot of data volume coming out of Google and Facebook are profitable ad images we didn't specifically request. Why shouldn't our ISPs be able charge them for this data? End user bills could fall as low as $0! But the mechanism for doing so has to be blunt and "discriminatory": you can't realistically tell what percentage of data from a domain is of a particular type nor can you keep track of, and contact, every tiny data serving domain out there.

In my experience, my favorite movies I find via glowing reviews. Rotten tomato completely obscures this view: if all the reviewers kind of like it, it'll get 100%, whereas polarizing films always suffer. I'll take "kids" over "star wars" any day for a better movie. Why? I'm gonna see star wars because i want to, not because I expect a meaningful aesthetic. But Rotten Tomatoes takes the opposite tact, pushing me towards crowd favorites rather than what i might rate highly.

Really this comes down to how terrible one dimensional comparisons are: it only measure popularity, which is a terrible filter for quality.
It's true. GOOG/FB have the economies of scale to deal with this. Start ups don't. This will hurt start ups more than it does GOOG/FB.
Programming is specifically super profitable because you need far less people to do the same amount of work. We'll have to come up with different economic models to cope with automation. One that's being talked about a lot lately is basic income, but there's various solutions to be looked at.

I made my first serious attempt almost as soon as I joined my university, CompSci. First attempt took a long time, as I did not really know how matrices applied to computer graphics, so I did all operations again and again, when they were required.

Yeah, yeah, "giving up lots of customers," but if you're a small startup it might be attractive to target a smaller problem space to start with. Also, everyone does this already with, "I am older than 13" boxes since it's broadly illegal to collect childrens' data; you probably wouldn't even have to do any verification as long as you don't wilfully stick your fingers in your ears.

I said automatically classifying users' photos to search was only feasible to do recently. It didn't become feasible for others first, it became feasible for everyone at about the same time (well, I suppose it was feasible for Google slightly earlier because Google's doing it in the cloud where they have more computing power available, versus Apple being limited by the computing power of the iPhone, but this appears to be such a relatively small difference that it doesn't really matter).

Tracking people around the internet. To follow them everywhere they go and save their personal information, their political ideology, etc. It is not innovation, that's just stepping over personal rights.

> I don't think it is about ethics, it is about control.

Yes. About giving back control of citizen privacy to the citizens themselves. It is not the government that decides who can own your data or when to delete it. It is European citizens that decide individually who should have their data and whom can not.

> EU should try to make it easier for European businesses to compete with US-based ones.

If you give away freedom for economic gain, you don't deserve either one.

Just as a little fun fact -- in the semiconductor industry, this has been a major method of wafer handling for quite a while, where the wafer handling bit is known as an "electrostatic chuck." If you google that term, you can find a LOT of info on how this type of system works since it's been around, used in production and studied for quite a while!
The technology will work with any kind of app. I know that some folks working on one of the bigger UI frameworks, Avalonia (https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia) have toyed with it recently. One thing to keep in mind is that lots of these frameworks do dynamic, reflection-based data binding, which might be easily broken if the linker removes too much stuff. You can tinker with the settings of the linker to force it to preserve things that are actually necessary.
It doesn't have to be a bubble for the SEC to issue something. After all, most of the ICOs seem like attempts to skirt SEC regulation in order to raise money and they see that too.

>TFA's author is not active in the field of advancing man's ability to recreate live music more convincingly, AFAIK; he writes codecs

As your other questions have been addressed by others, I simply would like to point out that this seems to be quite an arrogant stance to have.

The development of codecs has a lot to do with understanding of how the humans perceive sound, and how to effectively encode and reproduce sounds - which is useful even if you personally never listen to anything but analog recordings on analog systems.

However, we do live in a digital world, and one where codecs are a necessity. Codecs made recording, sharing, and distributing digital media at all possible - and now, they are making it possible to create better recordings by any metric you choose.

Consider this: bandwidth and space-saving that codecs give you allows you to record more data with the same equipment at the highest settings. That's why I don't have to think if I'll run out of memory I want to record 4-channel surround sound on my Zoom H2N (something that definitely goes towards a more faithful reproduction of being there than, say, bumping the frequency to 192kHz, which, incidentally, is the point of the article).

Unless you are there to record every live show, we'll have to rely on other people doing that - and guess what, they'll use codecs! How do I know that - that's because I do, they do, and the absolute majority of live show recordings that I've seen were not available in lossless formats. For that matter, good codecs contribute directly to the quality of the sound you'll hear.

Therefore, advancing the codecs does advance man's ability to recreate live music more convincingly.

So please, pause before dismissing other people's work.

>But he makes no mention of the interaural time difference in human auditory perception

He also doesn't mention how long it would take from Earth to Mars on a rocket, or the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow. If you want to make a claim that this is somehow relevant to the question, you need to argue why, with sources - or simply ask the author, who might just answer.

>There is more to learn here, folks, and down-voting a question is an embarrassing failure of these forums. Why aren't posts in support of music piracy down-voted (read above)?

Not all questions are created equal. Your last question is an example of one that rightly deserves to be downvoted, as it contributes nothing to the discussion (of whether 192Khz really does anything for us), appeals to emotion, and derails the conversation off the topic. Please don't do that.

Partly my reluctance to expand to having a warehouse of products. As it is now I know exactly how many of each product I need, so there is no need to store anything except only for the duration of shipping. It also means mostly shipping can be done in batches, instead of daily like a mega online mall would require.

And/or restaurants that everyone hates tend not to stay in business. There's also a more general effect that ratings (and reviews) affect the behaviors of people who haven't rated yet. I wouldn't rate many movies that I see below a 3/meh/OK level. That's not so much because I grade inflate but because I actively seek to avoid movies I'd rate 1 or 2 (and, indeed, mostly 3).
