How does that demonstrate what I said wasn't true? My point wasn't that all movies are bad or that good movies don't score well on RT. My point was that RT doesn't incentivize good movies. It incentives average and risk-averse movies.

It is also worth noting that none of the movies you listed are targeted at wide audiences. The most successful of the list was a surprise hit in Mad Max and even that was just outside the 20 biggest movies of its respective year. The others probably didn't even end up in the top 50 of the year. If you look at the top box office draws you will find the kind of movies I am talking about.
Oh they are totally not in the same league.

Alpha, Beta, Omega etc is commonly used by primate researchers and thus is far more relevant for human behavior.

Part of this includes giving all my favorite series to JJ Abrams to turn into charmless, box ticked, nostalgia milked, super polished hollow 'visual experiences'. The grit, the charm, the lovable clumsy parts, and most of all originality are all missing.
Do you imagine some domains that would be easy to get expertise in your area? For instance, many second-tier cities in the U.S. have drone hubs. Is there anything near you like that?
The world won't end for Facebook because it doesn't have this clause.
You didn't interpret my comment correctly. What is worse is that the narrowly selected range of projects to re-license is intentional rather than unintentional. They're only fixing the patent clauses on the bare minimum that they feel is necessary due to outrage. That means that they'd rather not but they're being forced into it. It'd be different if they were deciding to re-license everything; that might indicate an actual change of heart.

It is slightly strange. The related concept of 'type A' vs 'type B' personalities is useful (even if not backed by science) to bucket people based on their general behavior. But only with men do we take that single step further and say that the 'type A'-ness is actually an intrinsic property of their being instead of just a way they behave.

I poked around some best and worst box office lists before writing my comment and couldn't get much of a sense of how casting impacts things. I can't think of a lot of movies offhand that failed because of poor cast choices that didn't also have other problems. Likewise I don't know many that succeeded in spite of them (except for horror films, where cast seems to be relatively unimportant).

My impression is that there are so many people who want to act that it's a buyer's market and most films can afford good enough talent.

From what I saw, by a very large margin, the largest signal of what leads to success in films is familiarity. Almost every winner in the past decade was a sequel, remake, or part of a larger cinematic universe.
Facebook almost ruined these awesome projects just because of some nut head not thinking through. Hopefully this will recover them on many fronts in opensource community. I don't know if they were just playing with our emotions or something but I personally feel happy to hear the news.

If there is an implicit patent grant, we have more rights. I think there is a strong case that the implicit grant exists, and would vastly prefer seeing projects licensed under MIT than under the Facebook license.

Apache 2.0 would have also been acceptable, as it had a better explicit patent grant. I'm actually a little surprised they didn't choose it.
Even the US government doesn't claim that US law does not apply outside the border; that is simply false.

Kubernetes owes its success largely to Openshift and Redhat's efforts. Without Openshift, Kubernetes would just be an interesting POC. Google doesn't dog food Kubernetes. Openshift has since the beginning, and contributed significantly to K8s as a result of actual production usage. Just take a look at the top contributors and you can see the kind of contributions of the Redhat guys.

While I sort of agree with you on RHEL, I don't think this is the case with Openshift at all. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to people looking for a full solution.
Checkpoint-restore of processes (CRIU) is a fairly cool technology that is quite unique to Linux, and has gotten a lot of work in recent years. eBPF (both for seccomp and tracing) is also quite exciting in terms of its applications. User namespaces are also allowing for developments such as rootless containers. There's also some interesting stuff for trusted computing that are happening with IMA and TPM developments in general.

In user-space there's even more interesting developments, you just have to look a little closer. ;)
HTML isn't great for application code. That's the issue, and anyone targeting WASM and canvas would be looking to recreate desktop apps on the web, not traditional websites.

Nah, 14M isn't enough to practically afford a NetJets card - unless you are making about 5M - in which case you'd expect to have more than 14M. I work on WS and am very senior, so often fly private, and I have a bunch of friends who always fly private. The generally accepted threshold is about 25M with an income of 2-3+ before it makes any sense. I suppose that if you had no other expenses (like a nice house and cars or a thing for vacations or art) you could afford it for a while as your only extravagance, but it isn't that special. In fact, for long haul, 1st on an airline like Cathay or Singapore is better than a G650ER in many ways. For short haul domestic a private jet blows away commercial, but mostly I'd rather spend my money in other ways.
Same here on FF & Ubuntu, pretty sure the videos are silent (even though they contain an audio track).
There are some wannabe-heroes, but they aren't so widespread.

The vast majority is just being pragmatic. Trendy toys and 'designed and implemented new X' in resume looks so much better for career than 'maintained something old so customers were happy'. Of course, there are some technologies that helps to make pretty good money even being ancient, like COBOL, APL, AS/400 and IMS. But for how long? So it seems rational to move forward instead.

This thread is full of smartasses 'well actualy'-ing irrelevant picky distinctions of no particular substance. I'm not going to go at all of them, but lucky you!

Medical problems associated with drugs go way beyond just addiction. Kids can die on their first use of a drug, even on a dose that would normally be forced be harmless, due to other factors such as dehydration, alcohol consumption or overheating. Even without becoming addicted, drugs can have other harmful medical effects. The sheer scale of the simpleminded ignorance of this comment is staggering.
Uber are not the best behaved lot - I understand.

But they are not stupid.

If they were given only a '4 month extension' in London - and told to 'comply' with certain things - this is a very direct 'shot across the bow'.

Uber creeped into markets 'under the radar' - but when the regulators are directly holding your business hostage - and are saying point-blank: 'do these things or no permit' - it's time to believe them.

Uber is not stupid. They know the difference between 'being under the radar' - and when things are 'for real'. They can ignore city councillors here and there, but this was not that.

Uber is, if anything operationally competent. They'd have had a legal team, strategy sessions etc. on this. It's London - maybe their #2 largest market globally (or at least top 5) - so they're not going to screw around on this.

If Uber was definitely continuing to cheat - and if they were definitely non-compliant, and there were in fact 'a lot of rapes' or whatever with Uber ... then I have no problem with them being banned.

But I believe this is a hugely political move - irrespective of what Uber was and was not.

European regulators from bottom-to-top have been attacking American companies with special regulations.

Apple had to pay a 'magical' $25B tax bill. EU regulators are now trying to create special 'google' and 'Facebook' taxes. They want Uber off their turf.

It's politics and geopolitics as much as anything. And there is a strong whiff of economic protectionism.

It's entirely possible that Uber was just breaking all the rules - but it would also be very naive to not see the geopolitical interplay here.

It's how 100% of international business works. There's no such thing as 'free trade' in reality.

Oh absolutely. Having older members come back after graduation to tell everyone how true this is didn't help, we all knew practically from the get go that we needed to focus on things like internships and leadership experience rather than class.

> you think "stop staying awake" is not actionable, while "leave your phone at home" is actionable for a person with ADHD.

I'm not an insomniac; nor do I have ADHD, as far I know.

I assure you that I cannot action an instruction to 'stop staying awake'. I certainly can 'leave [my] phone at home', and frequently do.
Hollywood just has 2 hours- and in those two hours cant win against the great novel story tellers of our times- tv-series. So they made it rollercoaster rides - filled with sfx and instant soup stories.
Which just is not the value, people now are used too.
The irony is that rick and morty like animated series show- that you can squeeze incredibble stories into the smallest format.
You just have to be willing to risk it.
But hollywoods movies have become to big to whale.

> I'm sure that it is much more complicated than this, but I wonder how long the virus can remain immune to all previous '99%' cures? Maybe eventually we could come up with enough of these and then administer them all at once.

That's basically what HAART (the technique we've used to treat HIV successfully for the last 25 years) is. People take three antiretrovirals simultaneously. They're designed such that, for the virus to adapt to one, it has to make itself more susceptible to one of the other two.
I would be quite comfortable at those levels, do you enjoy arguing?
Uber supporters often seem to think that the only alternative to an easy to use ride hailing app is driving drunk and killing someone. It would take some careful research to correlate Uber rides to drunk driving deaths and I have yet to see someone attempt it.
You can get really far without actually doing GPU rasterization of fonts with just a basic glyph texture atlas.

I don't know if it's a trough or if it's a conclusion.

It's been 8 years now and the use cases for Bitcoin / CC haven't changed. You can buy illegal things and an incredibly small number of real things you can also buy with real money. There is nothing you can do with Bitcoin / CC that you can't do with real money. Nothing you can do that you couldn't do 5 years ago. Nothing new on the horizon. The only reason Bitcoin exists is because if you google "bitcoin price" it says a big number. There is nothing in the ecosystem except that number, and anyone whose entire ego isn't directly tied to that number has no interest in it.
interesting, i don't think i'd ever heard of this project, but this could be useful if using winamp ever becomes untenable for me (or if i need something better for playing music on mac or linux than vlc, or if i get bored with winamp and just want to see what else is out there, since this appears to be actively maintained).

edit: and it says it lets you use winamp classic skins, which is a nice nostalgic touch.
During the past few months I have seen a lot of blog posts by burned out maintainers of open source software. One complaint was that companies expect to be treated as customers without actually paying anything.

My problem is that I am one step further removed from the money - I write "end-user free software", that's even harder to get companies to pay for than an open source library. The Magit users among a company's employees might be among those wasting the least time on version control and make fewer costly mistakes than others, but while that benefits the employer it is not something that is being measured.

So the money has to come from the developers themselves. I am very grateful that so many of them have decided to back my campaign. I also think that the Emacs community is being very nice with its maintainers. The vast majority of users are very respectful when they need your help and they are generally a nice bunch.

I don't know if a second campaign in one years time would succeed though - so it's unclear whether this could become a successful "1-person business model". I certainly hope it does - not just for me. It would be nice if fewer authors of unique free software projects had to throw in the towel eventually and move on writing "real world software" - you know things that scale.

I actually did try to get some companies to pay for my work. I hoped that Github, Gitlab, or Atlassian would see this as an opportunity to gain some goodwill in the free software world, but that didn't work out unfortunately.

The Gitlab CEO actually replied within a few hours and seemed like a nice guy (after sending my message but before getting his rejection I had actually booked a flight to go see him at a meetup), but he was not interested in sponsoring my work. Atlassian send me a canned response, and Github did not respond at all.

Nor did its CEO who actually is (was?) an Emacs users who had forked Magit at one point. I can't really blame him for that, the message probably was just drowned in a lot of other email.

But I would have hoped that those companies would show some interest. Maybe now that its users have shown with their wallets that they believe in Magit, maybe now that changes. If you work for one of these companies, or a less known competitor, and have anything to say in such matters, you are certainly welcome to support me now!
that's after you make the decision oy
Heh. I remember reading that some people feel that Confucius Institutes are really intended to try to project Chinese culture onto other countries. This would have been less stupid if doing that wasn't openly in the mission statement.

> Are you really OK with a significant population of Americans being limited to the absolute bare-minimum?

My understanding is that this definition only impacts how statistics are reported (e.g., "80% of American's have broadband access at home"). So changing the definition does not affect people's actual speed, or any incentives that ISPs have to offer different packages.

For the purposes of reporting, I do think that 10 Mbps is the more appropriate threshold. Otherwise I would be counted in the "x percent of Americans without broadband access at home". Considering how much I do with my internet, and how happy I am with my speed tier, that would be a gross misrepresentation of my situation.
As a fairly young programmer, I think it's not necessarily hero worship (though that does play a part). I think it's because a lot of young programmers define their identities in terms of what they do. This is especially prevalent in the free software community. If you're going to define yourself by what you work on, it doesn't seem very fulfilling to just keep an existing project running without having the freedom to make drastic changes that would improve the project.

It should noted though that the above points about Red Hat and "boring" (as much I hate calling people's work boring) don't sit right with me. I know quite a few people who work at Red Hat on very interesting technologies. At SUSE, I work on fairly interesting technologies as well. The key aspect that makes SUSE (or Red Hat) "boring" is that we have effectively solved the problem of release engineering and maintenance (though in recent years SUSE has been improving on it further through openSUSE Leap and the recent plans for SLE15). The funny thing is that if upstreams could do their own release engineering correctly, SUSE and Red Hat would have a weaker value proposition.
I'm not well versed enough in the various licenses to compare BSD+Patents and MIT, but in my opinion, this is more of a move to appease the community than anything dealing with the benefits/disadvantages of the license being used.

You may be right that this might actually reduce our rights, however, the MIT license is well known and accepted by many in the developer community. It's been around long enough that developers know what they are agreeing to when they use something with an MIT license. With the BSD+Patents license, the biggest concern was not understanding what you were getting into when using React.

Facebook recognized this and conceded despite still believing in the BSD+Patents license to be better. So in that sense, this makes a lot of sense as it:

* alleviates community concerns

* builds up their standing with developers

* generates a lot of good PR

* draws attention away from alternative solutions which were getting a lot of publicity from all of this (Vue.js, Marko, Preact, etc.)

It would be nice though to have a lawyer chime in on the differences between BSD+Patents and MIT.
Love the baseball analogy and absolutely true. I slightly modified and posted to my twitter:

Maybe in the age of nanobots will we have practical ways to allow for unprotected random sex.
> It is very tangible. You can effect the image with your hands. You can almost touch it. You can't touch any of this digital stuff, it is in the computer somewhere.

My first camera was digital and my first exposure to photo editing was with photoshop in high school. When I took a B&W photography class as a senior in college it was eye opening. We were in the darkroom dodging and burning photographs on the enlarger with our hands; it was exhilarating. I may not see eye to eye with Dave Sieg on digital, but I completely agree with him on physicality of creation. There is a qualitatively different feel when you are working with physical controls and within constraints of a non digital system.

> You plugin in things to make your animation. That is really where the term plugin came from.

Also this bit is also quite interesting. Is this etymology true?
Does any one know if this means react native is moving as well?

Cause I might consider a move now.
Often times, if the work is critical enough, you could argue paying the 3rd party with a track record, insurance or a strict contract for delivery, support is the logical choice. Sure someone in-house could do it, but if they screw up or create something that bites you down the line, is it going to end up costing more.

The cynical way to interpret this behavior though is the old "No one got fired for buying IBM". Paying a big name outside company is the safe choice because you can always blame them, but if you decided to go with the in house guy, there's no one else to blame.
