My local cinemark is by far the best theater in the area. Large, leather recliners, reserved seating, and a variety of special events (Anime, classic movies, and things like the Dr. Who christmas special) make it pretty nice. I can't comment on their food other than popcorn, which I thought was average. It's not quite the Alamo Draft House, but between it and my local indie theater, I think we have it pretty nice.
No, I've been to low-quality, poorly run restaurants. This is like calling "fake news" low-quality news.
Raising the HOV-units price provides equal purchasing capacity amongst all drivers.

I mentioned the option of transferability for completeness. I'm not advocating for or against it. I am noting that it would change the dynamics somewhat.

Your #2 is a rather more involved and tangential discussion. Historically, it has a strong tendency to end in tears, or worse.
There are plenty of slug line commuter parking lots around the area that you can find people that will ride for free in your car so everyone can take advantage of HOV lanes. It's definitely a thing in some places where the passengers have no real need to be going anywhere in DC, people are just trying to get to work.
Interesting. According to https://www.ukpower.co.uk/home_energy/tariffs-per-unit-kwh the price per kWh in the UK is of the order of 10p. So a transaction costs 25 pounds? That surely can't be right.
Thst seemingly doesn't solve the problem that makes them unsustainable, since; they'd have to buy/establish their own studios to do that.
It's also a problem with a web-centric application developers. With a traditional software application, if the developer stops putting out updates you still have working software. With Google's services, you no longer have working software.

It's a cultural thing, and directly related to wealth (or class, if you prefer).

If most people work outside for a living, then the sign of wealth is that you don't have a tan. If most people work in offices, then the sign of wealth is that you have a tan, implying that you went on vacation or otherwise have the available leisure time.

When most people do manual labor, having impractically long fingernails demonstrates that you don't have to do that.

When most people have two or three sets of clothing, changing clothes several times a day demonstrates your wealth.

When most people eat a subsistence diet, being fat is demonstrating wealth. when most people eat fast food, being thin demonstrates your superior resources.

If most people need to pay attention to what they are wearing at their jobs, dressing in a way which signals that you don't have to pay attention is a status marker.

If everybody drives a car, picking an unusual vehicle can be a status marker. What's the difference between a Chevy Silverado 2-door and a Ford F-150 SVT Raptor? They demonstrate different spending priorities.
It's an engineering blog post, which usually serve double duty as being both informative and also useful for recruiting ("Look at the cool stuff we are building! Come be a part of it!"). Case in point, the post ends with "we’re currently hiring for a variety of roles and career levels".

In addition to not being really appropriate for nytimes.com, I'm guessing that publishing content there brings along a lot of extra cruft that is probably not necessary for a post like this (advertising, paywall system, isolating it from the "real" NYTimes content, etc.). Easier to just throw it up on Medium and call it a day.
Word embeddings: how to transform text into numbers
The pace of technological development in the past 20 years has been driven by scaling processing, storage, bandwidth, and networks. The intellectual, legal, cultural, and social infrastructure to make that happen already existed for the most part. When tech has an impact deeper in the societal stack, it takes a lot longer for its impact to be felt.

NB: Eternal September was in 1993, when Usenet went mainstream. Facebook, Twitter, etc weren't invented for another decade. Since then, they've both toppled dictators and elected a reality TV star to the Presidency. Change happens gradually, then suddenly.
It is not. In fact, homes occupied by mafia or drug producers commonly have the windows blocked by steel panels. The same is true for safe houses occupied by special agents.

Some custom built homes intentionally have multiple windows that are too slim for a human to fit through for this reason.

What Is GeoFencing and How It Helps Your Small Industry
You're missing the point entirely. It's not about the difficulty in making a change or a repair. It's about liability.

If you hire a locksmith, then you have reason to believe that someone was professionally trained to fix the issue at hand. They may not do it any better nor faster, but their job title implies that they know what they are doing by the book.

A DIYer doesn't have that same set of credentials. You could be better than any locksmith in your town, but you're still considered a hobbyist

It creates automatic snapshots of your sessions. If your session gets wiped or corrupted, you can fall back to one of the previous sessions. Or if you just want to go back to the tabs you had opened at a certain point in time, that's possible too. All of this is important for those of us who keep lots of tabs open. I personally treat my open tabs more like chronologically organized bookmarks and usually have over a thousand open.
Project Betfair, part 4 (backtesting an HFT market-making strategy for Betfair)
This is similar to Farley file [0], a file kept by politicians to record all the people they meet; and they meet a lot of people daily, dealing with a variety of issues, so it is good to write everything down. When it is time to meet them again, they now know enough details about the person to appear considerate and caring: their name, spouse's name, last topic discussed etc.

It gets its name from James Farley, Franklin Roosevelt's campaign manager:

>> A bad memory is not a great asset in politics, so Jim Farley devised a clever remedy: he kept an index card of every person that Roosevelt met, and recorded the names of spouses, children, hobbies, education, place of employment—any personal information that you could reasonably expect a "good friend" to remember. If Roosevelt returned to the same area, Farley would hand him the index cards of everyone he might meet. << [1]

In Rome, they had slaves for this sort of thing, called Nomenclators [2]. Their duty was to remind their master of people he had met earlier.

Yeah I was going to say, when hasn't this been a problem? But there are a multitude of solutions
Correct. I'm sure its has been done, but the general public does not think about it that way.

Nice subtle joke(?) with that link to a Moody's March 2008 report on rating bonds given that rating agencies were probably the closest single thing you could point to as the fraud that caused the mortgage bubble and 2008 collapse. Yes, sometimes a feeling can be closer to the truth than a lot of complicated math done with wrong assumptions.

Like I said at the top, it's not that hosted or pre-baked solutions are bad, but it's the attitude that it's "frankly foolish" to expend any effort on it when we could blindly trust $cloudOverlord instead.

You have to know how things work at a reasonably detailed level to know whether or not $cloudOverlord's solution is appropriate or not. If you know that, then you can make an informed decision as to whether or not it's better to go with them, and the reality is that in many cases, there's no real reason to prefer $cloudOverlord's solution. It is, quite often, very expensive, not to mention more complex and entrenching oneself further into dependence on a third-party over which they have no influence or control, and whose business model is finding new ways to charge them [more] rent. It also frequently constricts the availability of patches, features, configs, and upgrades that would be available and useful in a self-administered setup.

As for planet scale, well, there was a deploy on our 100% AWS-backed infrastructure last week that went horrendously and everyone had to pull all-nighters through the weekend trying to troubleshoot the performance problems. "Planet scale" is not something automatically granted by paying through the nose for AWS. Like it or not, you have to have someone who knows what they're doing to get good performance at scale. (Our issues were caused primarily by management's refusal to accept this and preference to believe that just waving the money stick at Amazon would make all problems disappear, since AWS is a super-neato thing from a "planet scale" company.)

The issue that's become very blatant over the last few years is that you get a lot of people who assume that anything except the code they've personally written is a magical fairy box that does everything they want automatically, and then they get mad when they learn that in fact, you still have to understand the tools reasonably well just to use them properly, let alone to debug or troubleshoot issues that may be occurring within them.

Engineering time spent understanding, formulating, and composing the core building blocks of a product is likely to be more important to a project's lifecycle than the time spent writing easily-replaceable business logic in the top layer of the application.

That people are so eager to outsource these fundamental building blocks not out of simple technical expediency ("they're a better WAL wrangler than me and it will take less time for them to do it") but rather out of a sentiment that it's "stupid" to commit the time of "smart engineers" to infrastructure administration and/or design is extremely frustrating.

I understand that within the context of a startup, the VCs want the barebones version to sell ASAP so that they can "test the market" before they give their early-20s sucker-- uh, founders -- more money to burn. Some people may have extrapolated this impulse outside of any context in which it could be considered either responsible or reasonable.
This comment is more relevant to the update to your post but, I try to see "hype/fads" as the learning opportunity you are describing as opposed to the "game changer" they are often portrayed to be. That is, find what is good, new, novel or useful in the new ideas and figure out how to add it to the toolchest.

Other comments have already covered good ideas, but in addition I personally would consider reviewing how database log files work, ACID vs. BASE properties of database transactions, PAXOS, etc. I suspect blockchain is valuable because it helps solve the problem of distributed consensus and transaction coordination/recording.

Seek out the roots that lead to this tech (distributed computing, distributed storage, cryptography, basic accounting/ledgers.. essentially transactions of some kind, whether social or economic, are the root of all human interactions).

I think language is a little less critical for experimentation, as the rules for picking the right tool for the job still apply - if you need high precision or high performance, choose a language suitable to the task (languages that are good at systems programming and reliable for infrastructure coding are good recommendations).

In social sciences, I would review the materials on identity, anonymity, transactional behaviors, decentralized/federated organizations and transparency, particularly the concept of trust and institutional trust.. as I think trust is an interesting angle on this issue. For example, trust networks via digital signatures in PGP MIGHT be informative.

Lastly, how about digging through any open source projects for "coin" systems on Github to see how they are implemented.. like bitcoin core.
They weren't stable.
Of course they can do it. I’m sure similar language exists in AWS and Azure agreements.

Look, I hate a lot of what Google stands for and where it’s going. But I find it very implausible they’ll kill any non-beta products that are part of google cloud platform. GCP is poised to take the place of AdWords as the google golden goose, helping them to diversify from their heavy reliance on advertising for revenue. They do not want to screw that up.

I’m sure they are well aware of the uprising that would cause amongst developers, aka the core customers of GCP. It would be a stupid move in a highly competitive cloud market, effectively telegraphing the fact that you can not rely on GCP services to exist in perpetuity. Their competitors would likely respond by re-implementing the shut down product with a compatible API so they could literally steal disgruntled users from GCP.

If you’re really concerned about this, the solution is pretty simple: don’t use GCP. If you want to use it, then only rely on the very core services that google clearly has strong incentives not to kill. Those would likely be VMs and any products that have an equivalent at another cloud vendor.

>You mean that they finally started to pay attention to the ludicrous crap they were giving money to that advertisers wanted nothing to do with?

No, it means they've started promoting crap for monetizing and penalizing things that people actually want to see.

>Advertisers don’t want to sponsor “anything” because it reflects poorly on them.

Given the human scum that are advertisers, I doubt anything could reflect poorly on them.

At best it would reflect badly on their clients -- who themselves would be totally fine to advertise on KKK websites and snuff films if it didn't cause a backslash.

"5. The scholarly world is not a team of friends. What is your discovery is a loss for someone else. And this someone is usually a prominent and powerful person. Therefore having made a discovery do not expect universal delight. Be ready for tough resistance, sudden attacks and a gruelling and lingering war. A scholar needs talent second and courage first."

This one seems an elaboration on the concise "It's not enough to succeed. Others must fail."

Seeing how most corporations care more about pleasing shareholders than pleasing the government, workers, or customers, then yes, this kind of behavior needs to negatively impact investors as well. That would powerfully disincentivize profitable behavior that hurts society overall.
These are price adjusted figures. So your truck driver could buy double the goods in the US on $4 compared to back home. If he could survive on $2, he can certainly survive on $4.

There are simple and effective (from a traffic-flow-control perspective) solutions:

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

I'd focus more on one of my other punts above: ways of drawing a correspondence between traffic and congestion, on the one hand, and alternative transit options (buses, rail, cycling, telecommuting, etc.) on the other. Market pricing signals fail to provide the coordination many of these options require. Typically, planning-based approaches are required.
It should decrease (long term) as the amount of 'mining' naturally goes down with the lessened 'reward', per the schedule. The fee based crypto-breaking should be less. As dedicated crypto-breaking hardware is manufactured with an eye towards energy efficiency things should also get better. In the short term, yes, this is totally crazy. But in a few years, things should be much better.

That said, how fucking sci-fi is this?! Remember in the old games and novels how 'energy credits' would be a currency unit in the future. Well, looks like we are in the future then. Bitcoin is pretty much a 'baby' energy credit, it's also more than that, but it is an energy credit in a nascent way. I mean, that's pretty cool to teenager me.

> Couldn't they just milk it until that happens and then release a more sustainable option?

No, because consumers aren't rational value maximizers even if businesses might sometimes approximate that; consumer behavior is strongly shaped by path-dependent expectation setting, and once theaters have let MoviePass model become dominant enough to set pricing expectations, they will catastrophically lose business if that model collapses. Eventually, if they survive, he public might be drawn back, so the industry might survive in some form, but each individual firm in the industry faced serious risk of being wiped out by that.

It's much better for them to not encourage MoviePass to consumers and do everything practical to distrsct from it while finding other ways to attract price-conscious customers in a more sustainable way.
From Reddit: The owner of the company with a share capital of half a million euros is Bitorious (45%) based in Dornberk, its director is Marko Kobal, and 55% of the company is owned by H-Bit. The owner of H-Bit is Martin Škorjanc. An interesting fact is that Martin Škorjanc is the father of Matjaž Škorjanc, who was arrested by Slovenian police a year ago for online cyber crime with the help of the US FBI in Maribor.

Nor does it have to do with communism. Specifically communism does not require nationalisation nor centralization of power. In fact the Marxist roots expect the workers to own and run the factories collectively and resolve conflicts by vote and consensus.

The ideology called "communism" in the US is actually national socialism. Not to be mistaken with fascism, but close. (Yes, it is Nazism. Soviet ideology was actually identical.) Alleged soviet collectivism was actually nationalisation.
Several reasons. Many years back a lot of distros chose to default to Gnome because of licensing doubts/FUD surrounding Qt. That decision's momentum still continues, the result being that Gnome remains default, if for no reason than to not to undergo a big shift in defaults. Secondly the ripple effects from a few major distros adopting Gnome is more pervasive than we imagine. Two of the largest, RedHat and Debian, have long used Gnome as their default desktop. And in RedHat's case, they actively contribute to and fund Gnome development. A huge number of derivative/downstream distros either go with these stock choices or have chosen to implement their own "shells" around the GTK/Gnome base. One reason for this was the historical requirement to stick to C++ for extending or modifying KDE; in Gnome's case the language support is wider when developing for it, or taking its components and building on top of it, like Cinnamon and Budgie have done. Gnome and GTK were advocated by orgs like the FSF, which has done a lot to popularise their mindshare among FOSS developers. Historically (no longer the case but momentum once established...) Gnome was also lighter on system requirements and the DE was split into small modules which could be adapted into other indie DEs. This was more difficult with KDE previously.

Am sure there are more subtle reasons. But recently there's a noticeable swing towards Qt. The next version of Budgie will build upon Qt, as did the aborted Unity8. LxQt is the future LXDE. But GTK has an entrenched mindshare in FOSS that Qt just doesn't.
Yes, the main intent is not for end-users to access those APIs directly - most consumers don't want that, and the larger business who want it already have such access, pretty much every bank here offers a cash management solution that allows you to automatically access your account data and send transactions from your system to the bank. The big expectation is that it will open up the market to fintech service providers / tool makers who can then provide services using that API to every customer of every bank; but there certainly could be (or you could make) a service provider that offers exactly what you describe - a consumer friendly API for direct access, handling the authentication in some manner that's compatible with isolated curl requests. You wouldn't have to get permission from the involved banks to do that, but you would have to get the permission from the customers, of course.
What Kubuntu version do you use? I've had the same thoughts as you about KDE vs. GNOME in the past (at earlier versions though, don't know about how they stack up currently).
