I imagine theaters see more bodies == more filled seats == more revenue $. That seems to hold true especially given that Moviepass pays regular-price for tickets.

Moviepass’ success is dependent on the same thing as any subscription model like this. Article author seems unable to recognize that he is a top 1% (maybe even rarer) user of Moviepass and the majority of subscribers will see 1 or sometimes fewer movies per month.
We're also at record equity levels and low interest rates, but that can change really quickly. I only put them in there because a lot of MPT models say it's a good idea.

Isn't Altman's argument ultimately about free speech? Surely my right to criticize Altman or Dash is the point Altman is making, and which Dash is exercising in his rebuttal?
But could it be that tolerance of different opinions is a virtue for a free people? One that can't flow from the power of the state but from the strength of our individual characters.

How are we to solve our problems if we replace the reason of thoughtful discussion with the power of social censure?

> I don't understand why theaters would have a problem with this...

For a big city theater, there are always customers. But take a more rural cinema, have 60% of the moviegoer population base convert to MoviePass... for the theater, it may see a slight uptick because it isn't that expensive for the users and the cinema still gets the full ticket price. Then imagine MoviePass closing shop - are the 60%, hooked to 10$ or whatever a month while generating twice that in ticket sales, going to come back once MoviePass isn't around any more? There will be a sharp noticeable drop, and this is what scares theater managers. Hell even if it's just 100 people using MoviePass that's $2k in ticket sales a month (given 10$/ticket and 2 movies a month per person), and another $2k a month in sales from soda, popcorn, food and merch.

Especially as outfitting/retrofitting a theater with the newest advancements in dozens-channel audio, 8K 3D digital projections, the newest anti-piracy crap the studios force upon the managers and other stuff is a huge upfront capital investment... I would be scared shitless if I had to do such an upgrade because the customers demand it but I knew at the same time that a lot of the customer base might simply drop off at once due to circumstances way outside of my control.
This is a terrible idea. People have repeatedly shown they are willing to give up very little to address environmental problems. That makes it even more important that when we use limited social capital to address a problem, it's the most important problem that can be addressed.

It's a non-profit with a duty specifically different from "make profits" and there are consequences to this.

To quote an ex-mozilla employee:

""

Because the Mozilla Foundation is a nonprofit corporation, it has a specific legal purpose for existing spelled out explicitly in its articles of incorporation: "The specific purpose of the Corporation [here meaning the Foundation] is to promote the development of, public access to and adoption of the open source Mozilla web browsing and Internet application software." If Mozilla Foundation were to ignore this mandate, it would jeopardize the nonprofit, tax exempt status of the foundation

""

In this case they are definitely ignoring the mandate, and this should never remotely have happened.

free speech is much different if you're talking about a human vs a corporation.

The TL;DR on The Paradox of Tolerance, a much discussed philosophy intro topic, is that for tolerance to exist society must be intolerant of intolerance.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance
When you head to the theatre, the cashier who takes your MoviePass will notify you if they're out of seats and MoviePass won't list the showtime as available when the theatre says they're out of seats. While you can use the walk-up approach, it's still best to make sure the showtime is open.
You're falsely presenting that as the only solution to the philosophical problem.

In fact, when it comes to government regulation of speech, the philosophical approach taken by the First Amendment, and the very thoughtful jurists who have interpreted it, is the opposite: that we must tolerate intolerance.

And as for the social sphere, where legal freedom of speech does not apply of course, the problem with too liberally being intolerant of "intolerance" is that the definition of "intolerance" is itself a political thing, inevitably expanded and wielded as a weapon against dissent. For example, opposition to more immigration becomes branded as inherently intolerant.
Your ideas interest me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Seriously, I’d love more info. It’s become accepted wisdom that trading loses money, 10% returns year after year are unrealistic, experts underperform the market, don’t time the market, etc. It’s such accepted wisdom that I’m skeptical of it. In particular, I wonder whether it actually is realistic for someone who is thoughtful, has a strategy, and has an appropriate risk tolerance to drastically outperform the market at small scale. For example, it seems like with so much index and large fund capital sloshing around and moving the market overall one way or another, it’d be moving a lot of companies with it on a given day / week / month that really shouldn’t be moving. Just an example.

Would love any reputable links, books, etc about this!
Payment channels and the lightning network aren't centralized; the users remain in control of their coins without counterparty risk. It's not like a "bitcoin bank" where they have to trust someone else to hold their coins for them. This is shitty FUD.
And then we ask how to get 10x more (aka "return") before we even think about what it is we are providing.

What the investor is providing is their money, with the understanding that they most likely will never see any of it again. In the event that the person they gave it to is successful, though, the bargain is that they get to share in the success. Without the potential for the 10x to pay for the vast number of failures the math just doesn't work, and the investors are better off keeping their money for themselves. And then entrepreneurs have to save up their own funding before starting anything.
No worries. :-)
It's more a reaction to Bitcoin Cash officially insisting that it's the "real" bitcoin, and trying to actively misleading users by referring to BTC as "Bitcoin Core", creating a false parity to make it seem like they're both equal "forks" that bitcoin split into.

I've tried to refer to them using the less loaded "BTC" and "BCH" symbols instead; but it's kindof getting tiring, hearing people insist "Bitcoin Cash is Satoshi's True Vision". It's like somebody starting a "Apple Phone LLC" and saying it's Steve Jobs' true vision, ignore that other "Apple" company.

I generally don't like much coming out of the Bay Area right now, and have an especial distate for YC's contributions to this mess, but I am impressed with Sam Altman's essay. He's going to get a lot of backlash for it, but I believe he is correct.
I think he's referring to the fact that first chapter had a very coherent story, then in chapter 2, it's just random stuff happening with some occasional story taking place in Mother Base...and then the game just suddenly ends.

What We’re Talking About When We’re Talking About What We Can’t Talk About
One interesting thing I took away from the article - most of the scientific evidence cited by Professor Sapolsky is built on fMRI analysis of reactions to faces.

Given that most of our online interactions are completely text-based, what cues are we using to determine if someone is Us or Them? Do the same emotion-first impulses apply when our entire perception of another person's identity is based on the content of their written words?
You have it all backwards. A MIME type cannot be "spoofed" because a MIME type is a processing instruction, not a certification. If you receive an entity that is labeled as "image/jpeg", that means that you are instructed to treat it as a JPEG image. That is to say, you should only hand it to a JPEG decoder. As with any processing of untrusted input, that JPEG decoder should obviously not have any vulnerabilities, and it should reject any syntactically invalid input. If someone takes a video file and sends it to you labeled as "image/jpeg", there is no spoofing going on, you simply received a syntactically invalid JPEG image which you consequently should reject.

Unfortunately, browsers, in particular IE, had this habit of ignoring the relevant standards and do what has become known as "content sniffing": They ignore the declared MIME type and instead try to guess the correct decoder based on the content. That was (well, still is, for backwards compatibility reasons) a huge vulnerability in browsers. If browsers simply followed the relevant standards, there would be absolutely no problem with serving an uploaded "image/jpeg" entity without any verification, as no browser should do anything with it other than notice that it's an invalid JPEG image. That you have to care about this at all is because you have to work around vulnerabilities in browsers, not because anything is being "spoofed".

It is a really nice language. Being able to interoperate with .NET is a strength, not a weakness. It's quite principled in its design, it's just that some of its design principles are pragmatic ones.

Concrete example: It doesn't have typeclasses. This was a deliberate and thoughtful move. The designers haven't been able to figure out how to implement type classes in a way that wouldn't interact poorly with the rest of the .NET ecosystem, so they've opted to keep them out rather than introducing a hacky implementation. Contrast this with Scala, where it's very easy to accidentally break compatibility with Java code when you're working with traits.
I love how everyone tells you "Windows 10 is just fine" every day EXCEPT when a new, huge, leak or mistake comes out. Then they go silent for a day.

... then they go back to telling you "I've never had a problem with it."

I use Windows 10. I support it professionally. The underlying system is good. And then someone at Microsoft decided to completely fill all of those kernel upgrades, with a gigantic pile of spyware, adware, and useless crap. (4 GB+ of Windows Store videogames?!)

One of my laptops is a "windows 10 ready" work laptop with a 5400 RPM hard drive. Between defender, indexing, telemetry, and app compatibility scans, it takes over 60 seconds to get to desktop. If you load the task manager, the disk usage is 100% for hours. And any time Windows decides to install or compile something (without warning or even a notification, like rebuilding .NET) the entire computer becomes a useless brick. I used to be able to make the machine functional by turning off unnecessary, bloated services like Defender and Telemetry. Except every Windows Creators update they not only reset my settings, its disable Classic Shell, UNINSTALLS Core Temp and a WindowsGadgets re-enabling tool because they're "not compatible" (even though they work fine), and... they change the menus so that it's harder to find the button to disable Defender, and they make it harder (if not impossible) through Group Policy changes to disable those very same, taxing, services.

Try this: Install Windows 10, upgraded from 7/8/old-10. See Windows.old on your C:\? That's your old windows copy. Try to delete it. After all, it's useless right?--and takes over 20GB. Nope. Sorry. You don't have permission to delete it. That's right. Your own hard drive you don't have permission to touch. And, laughably, Windows will tell me "You're running out of HDD space, want to delete the old folder?", I say "Yes." Then nothing happens and the message appears again.

I tried taking "ownership", used admin account, I tried changing permissions. Nothing. A professional windows IT support employee should not have to look up countless articles TO DELETE A FREAKING DIRECTORY. Even after I took "complete" ownership of all that, many files still didn't set, and I couldn't delete the whole thing.

I'm half tempted to boot into a Linux Live USB and delete it by force. But then I realize, "I'm going to download an ISO for another OS, burn it to a USB, then shut down my machine and reboot it... JUST TO DELETE A FOLDER?!"

Oh, and this is Enterprise edition. So I'm running the edition that everyone says "if you care about tuning Windows, you should have already bought Enterprise." Thanks for that lie.

Anil Dash’s main point appears to be that allowing hate speech will embolden racists/bigots to commit violence against minorities.

My question to him is: what if a proper study was done and it found that suppression of hate speech actually emboldened racists and bigots to commit more violence against minorities? Would he advocate then Altman’s proposal?

It appears that his entire thesis is based on his own conjecture. I would love to know if there are any studies that support his theory.

You still have to record them.
Also don’t forget that if you have an ISA, other savings and investments that allowance isn’t that big.

As an individual if you mine you have to record the value as it was at the time of mining if you buy you record it at the time of purchase and you pay capital gains if you exchange the crypto for fiat currency or goods or services directly on the difference between the values.
It gets more complicated since you can’t select an individual currency unit form your wallet but atm you are allowed to use creative accounting for that.

The fact that you have an allowance doesn’t mean it’s not taxed and if you have any substantial amount you’ll blow throgh that allowance pretty darn fast.
Two more essays on this topic are "Repressive Tolerance" by Herbert Marcuse (http://www.marcuse.org/herbert/pubs/60spubs/65repressivetole...) and John Stuart Mill's "On Liberty" (http://www.bartleby.com/130/).
It would be interesting to know what fraction of seating is going empty in movie theaters these days. I would guess it is around 70%, maybe higher. Only opening weekend for some blockbusters fill them up. I would guess if they survive they will have two tiers, with a much more expensive one for opening weekend tickets. If they get people to go on off times, the theaters will be loving it.

Not technology, but we can start by not self segregating in where we live, not even just on a national or state level, but at the neighborhood level.

If only those gun violence victims knew they were more likely to die in an auto accident, that would totally change things. Are you saying the effects of both should only be taken as death statistics?

The effects of mass shootings isn't just about the amount of people killed. It's about the anxiety it creates nationally or globally. That's basically what makes terrorism so powerful, but it's not as easy to measure those effects and what they can lead to.

If you're just starting, here's some guidance on setting up a password manager.

First of all: Don't be afraid of using one. It's not just more secure, it's super convenient. Never again will you ask yourself: Did I make an account for this website/service? What email did I use? Never again will you have to remember a password. Using a password manager is a quality of life improvement.

KeepassXC is what I recommend to people at this point. It's free and you own your data (your passwords). They live wherever you want them to live. There are plenty of online services that are supposedly more convenient but I have to say I trust them less -- YMMV (1Password is the best I'm aware of).

https://keepassxc.org

If you do use keepassxc, you get the added benefit of being able to store 2FA settings in it as well (if you store them in the same database as your passwords, be aware that you lose the security benefit of a second factor, however it is still more secure than not having 2FA enabled due to the One-time password component).

Put every account you ever made and ever make into keepass. Enable 2fa wherever you don't have it enabled. Add login URLs and notes. Generate your passwords from keepass itself; the password generator is really powerful and lets you very easily deal with site-specific shitty password limitations. I'm telling you this because, seriously, it's incredibly convenient to have this stuff as long as you're rigorous about maintaining it.

Oh, also, keepass has the full history of all your passwords. Need to look up an old password? Go into details and look at "History". You can also attach files to items (items don't have to be accounts at all, you can use keepassxc as a simple encrypted storage db).

Mobile support: Keepass2Android. Best android client, with google drive support. iOS I have no idea, suggestions welcome.

IMPORTANT: BE STUPIDLY PARANOID AND RIGOROUSLY CAREFUL ABOUT YOUR MASTER PASSWORD. That thing, together with your keepass database, unlocks all your accounts ever. Use a really long passphrase that you will never have to write down (if you do decide to write it down because you don't trust yourself, store it in a safety deposit box, don't put it in a bloody drawer). Make sure the device you unlock the database on is malware-free.

PS: Wondering what's up with Keepass vs. KeepassX vs. KeepassXC? Keepass is the original app, written in .NET but with poor multi-platform support. KeepassX is a rewrite in Qt and is a fantastic password manager, but has gone unmaintained recently. The open source community picked up the slack in the KeepassXC fork (after continuing countless attempts to upstream the patches) and has implemented lots of powerful features. I've switched to it and at this point I strongly believe it's the better client.
