Actually totally agree about playing in an Ensemble. I used to do this before I moved here. I had tons of folks to have jam sessions with. And that was an amazing way to improve as you had constant feedback and guidance. Now I am just finding it hard to get into a circle which is pretty much entrenched and closed. I am not sure if I have become less friendlier (i doubt it) or have people become less forgiving of "amateurs"!

Hmmm love the idea of playing in retirement homes. Definitely did not think about that! By the way what instrument do you pay?

That's what I've been saying for a long time. Some people say "it's just capitalism working as intended", but that's not exactly true.

A lot of the mechanisms of capitalism depend on competition. Capitalism without competition is no different from Communism or any other system in which one party rules supreme.
Obviously it's implied that if public science funding is going to demand that researchers use only openly available journals, that the rules for the funding itself also be adjusted to disregard the impact of these "high impact journals" for the purposes of preferentially allocating funding.

What do you imagine is going to happen? That public support of science is going to drop to zero because funding bodies forgot to update two of their internal rules, and instead just updated one, thereby creating a dependency relationship that was impossible to satisfy?
> I wouldn't call forcing ads in as "a perfectly viable way" to watch something, especially on an already paid service

US Cable television already fits that description. Almost 100 million Americans pay a monthly subscription for television content which still includes ads. For that matter, HBO itself is already an extra additional fee on top of that prior subscription.

Your restaurant comparison seems particularly disingenuous considering commercials are a pretty normal aspect of television consumption.
My favorite thing about coming into these threads is constantly being told that I'm "not actually a professional" because I'm able to use a Macbook Pro for my job.
An interesting datum is that movie ticket sales are actually down, big time. [1] Movies hit their peak, in tickets sold, way back in 2002. We're down 26% since then. Factor in population increases which should have resulted in a roughly proportional increase in ticket sales and it's shocking how bad movies are doing. But record breaking sales...? That's gross receipts or tickets_sold x cost_per_ticket. Ticket sales are dropping fast, but the price per ticket is increasing even faster. Some masterful grasp of supply and demand there...

Movie companies seem to be in completely denial about the change in quality being the source of their problems. This goes to explain many otherwise bizarre behaviors such as the cinemas absolute obsession with piracy even though most studies show it has at worst a modest effect. That's actually perhaps the thing I find most ridiculous about mega corporations. There seems to be this complete lack of self accountability. When reception or sales are poor they will blame absolutely everything under the sun, except their own decisions.

It's like how in the video game industry there was this belief that game review ratings had a causal relationship to increased sales. So the games industry completely gamed ratings and the correlation all but entirely disappeared. Go figure, games actually being good was the confounding variable. Who could have guessed?

I like Disney, obviously they make great movies, but I don’t want _everything_ to be made by Disney. Personally I think their superhero movies have gotten much too formulaic, and I’m worried for what’s going to happen to Star Wars after they keep putting them out every year. We need more creators out there trying new things, and it doesn’t help that Disney wants to collect every recognizable character.

It would be hard to enforce. Especially since that software is built at manufacturer level. Then a company buys it. Comcast or Verizon generally doesn't compile their own software.

That is not my understanding. The current use of the word "patent" has become rather ironic compared to its historical meaning.

"Patent" just means "open", in this case openly declared, not secret.

Ideally "patenting" an invention provides an alternative to an inventor hoarding a trade secret that dies with him or his company. The quid pro quo for the public good of making a technology open knowledge is a temporary government granted monopoly.

The ideal and reality seem to have parted company a long time ago...

Ask HN: What platform would you use if you launched a physical and online shop?
Looking at opening a small niche store for some products. I'd imagine most of the customers would come into the store and pay for the product(s) and I can likely guess they would also use cash/check/credit. Would be quite detrimental if I only took credit cards. Many people in this industry pay with checks and cash.

I do want them to be able to purchase through the a website as well and get things shipped if they couldn't make it in.

Managing inventory between online/offline sales seems pretty important and I'd like them to nicely talk to each other.

Looked at Stripe, Shopify, Square? And some seem to offer POS that speaks talks to their platform which seems ideal. I might have one or two employees working at the store (it's small) so keeping costs super low and being able to use a tiny stand to swipe cards seems nice. Minimal training.

Basically a low cost operation, but I'd need to fire up a site and wouldn't want to spend a ton of money or time here getting operational. Website is somewhat secondary, but I want it available. This is my job but want to keep this simple as I'd like focus on the core aspects of the business. I've implemented simple things like using the Stripe API before which was awesome, but feel like that's not the ideal situation here. I've only worked with 100% online stores and doing a brick and mortar although small adds complexity.

I find your opinion a bit harsh and generalized.

Most people get way too wrapped up in jargon and staying inside the Agile box. The method is just an idea, a loose framework, a suggestion. Executives and management will always try to rigidly implement the method (because Peter Principle) and this should be circumvented whenever possible.

I noticed this process has gotten noticeably longer after chip cards where required.

Waiters used to take cars and swipe them ASAP presumably to get better tips by being prompt. Now, put this off until they finish a full round and/or put cards in and start doing something else because it's going to take a while.

Granted, this is far from a complete switch, but it was still noticeable.

A semantics is a property a programming language, not the style you happen to program in.

@lmm

> In practice no practical language provides formal semantics for the entire language

Programming languages are mathematical objects and always have a formal semantics, regardless of whether someone has taken the trouble to write it down or not.

What I'm saying is - the formal semantics that most languages have preclude the existence of compound values. Without those, you can't define interesting functions, and thus you can't program in a functional style.

As far as I know the plan against a Russian tank rush now is the same as it was when it was the Fulda Gap[1] they were protecting: tactical nukes.

And I think you underestimate NATO power and overestimate Russian. Russia does have a lot of tanks, but the vast majority of them are T-72s and older[2], which are sitting ducks for modern shoulder-launched anti-tank missiles.

Despite that, they do have a lot of T-90s, which are a good tank. But the disparity isn't as high as a first glance makes it appear, and NATO does have better air forces (the F-16 isn't as obsolete as you seem to think).

> But reducing any argument you disagree with to shilling isn't productive discussion.

Neither is referencing that site on issues.

Disney has tried streaming before and failed, not because Netflix had locked them out of content, but because their service sucked.

You can draw a parallell to Steam and all competing game market platforms for PC, they all had just as much opportunity, and a lot of them lock content only to their own platform, yet they're all worse.

I don't disagree with the fact that large competing platforms are good for keeping the market competitive, but that buying and locking in content instead of providing a better service is the wrong way of going about it, when you can't compete on service.

And as for Stratechery, I don't have access to their books, I can only read a pattern into their recent history of posts on the industry, and it's not good.

In addition to this, Sky Sports is pretty much the only game in town in the UK when it comes to sports. Sky hold an insane amount of power in football, to the point where if they want a game to be played at a different time/day the fixture will change. The sheer amount of money in the Premier League today is down to Sky.

This is a linear market that I think Disney will be really interested in. It's an area where Netflix haven't entered (to my knowledge), and it's an area that no one can seem to do well.

"Just move" is not a tenable solution. These people most likely can't afford to move to begin with. Then, on top of that, if their entire lives of friends and family are based there, why would they want to move? Who are you, a self-admitted (presumably tech industry) interloper, to tell them that they should just leave their home and go to the home that you yourself have forsaken? These people are far more likely to have lived there for their entire lives, making due with whatever they can make due.

I live in the Midwest, I like it here, and I would welcome people who want to move here, but this is telling them to come here for all of the wrong reasons.

This is because copyright relates to stuff that's usually intangible. People easily grasp the idea of theft when it comes to tangible, physical stuff.

True, but digital copies are for the most part still stored on media that can degrade, break or malfunction. In the context of places like TPB, digital copies are indeed degraded as they are often uploaded with lossy compression to reduce file size.
