If a website wants to display an ad and ONLY display an ad, I'd have no problem with ad supported content. It's what's happening underneath the ad I have a real problem with.

So, ad blocking isn't really about the ad. I could care less if there is an advertisement next to the news article I'm reading. If only the advertisement was served to me and not whatever other b/s underneath the hood, then I wouldn't have a need for an ad blocker. I wish content producers understood this.

what is "network structure"? it can't be the residual 20XRP on everybody's accounts because those are equal to 0XRP as you've just agreed to.

the point that somebody can still buy XRP from the majority holder^W^W the effective sole owner of all usable XRP is sort of irrelevant, because you can make the same point about any other commodity/currency.
There's always been competition in London though. It's not like your only choice is uber or a black cab.

The fact is that Uber came in, heavy handed, and used it's usual "fuck the rules, we're here" attitude towards running its service. It's hardly surprising that it fails to get license renewals when it's not only shown scant regard for the rules and regs, but open contempt about changing so that they fit them.
Sure, but I think SymbOS specifically requires bank switching capability:

http://www.symbos.de/symmodul.htm?0

(relevant sections passed through google translate de->en)

Memory Management

SymbOS supports up to 1024 KB of RAM, depending on what was connected to a memory expansion. The memory manager splits the entire RAM into individual blocks of 256 bytes, which can be assigned completely dynamically.
A big feature here is the fact that SymbOS applications are always executed in a secondary 64K ram bank. Thus, each program is allowed to allocate and address up to 63KB in one piece. Screen memories and operating system routines are all in the first, severed ram bank. They are virtually invisible and do not stand in the way of the application. Of course, an application can also reserve more than 63KB for itself.

Banking Management

If an 8-bit CPU is to manage a memory of up to one megabyte (which is theoretically at least 20 bits for the address bus), then it can possibly become very complicated. This is where the bank switching administration of SymbOS comes in, which regulates everything independently and transparently. Completely unaffected, e.g. System routines located in a completely different bank are called by programs as if they were in the same 16-bit address range. Using the so-called transfer ram area (the top 16KB of a ram bank) both the operating system and the application can access the same memory from two different 64K banks. Copying memory areas between any two RAM banks is also possible without any problems.

I've also seen it commonly attributed to Star Wars. Star Wars, for better or worse, completely and almost single-handedly changed the pacing of sci-fi movies in the 70s. You can almost spot Star Wars as a line in the sand and tell which sci-fi films predate it, which postdate it, and which got stuck being released too close for comfort (the multiple editing cut fiascos of Blade Runner and Star Trek: The Motion Picture seem to be in part due to the pull of pre-Star Wars pacing versus changing film audience expectations).

This subject might go underappreciated, but it's so very true. A very shallow search will lead you to the ugliest, and most scathing accounts by some of the most beloved musicians. (see Michael Jackson)

Others have simply long left the sole clutches of major labels and only associate with them on their own terms, like Wilco and Radiohead (in the rock/ish world).

That said I feel like adding to the general discussion here—with radio music became more accessible to the masses than it ever had been, and in that era musicians largely made their money on royalties (if they were so fortunate) or putting on a roadshow.

Shortly thereafter was it only that people were able to take portable recordings home to enjoy at their own timing.

Prior to any of this, (decently) paid musicians were far fewer. If anyone wanted to enjoy music, they had to afford concerts or recitals, visit or encounter travelling musicians, or acquire the music itself and learn to play it.

I digress a little... but it seems we're coming sort of full-circle from the radio-era model back to it via the streaming-era model. The major difference being the need to not only buy a device to tune in, but to pay an additional and regular fee to access more content/programming than the radio provides.

The thing is, I get why opening credit sequences have fallen out of fashion. They were a holdover from the broadcast television era where they served a legitimate purpose, but they are completely unnecessary in an online, on-demand viewing environment.

It's covered by the bank themselves. You might have to wait a little bit, but you won't be held liable for fraudulent charges. I'm sure there are horror stories, but the vast majority of cases result in someone other than you eating the loss.

Needing help from the FDIC is sort of a worst case scenario for banking, it's extremely uncommon unless there's a 2009 style banking crisis.

Lost was the first big show I can remember that just had a one to two beat opening theme.

It's weird that it took so long. Early films, the Jazz Singer if you go way back, had a fifteen minute overture, reminiscent of the orchestral opening to stage plays while people found their seats.

Movies eventually realized that, artistic merit notwithstanding, that was boring. They first shortened those intros to a card of the main players. Sometime later the guilds required credits include all craftsman, but just stars. A fair and egalitarian move with the unintended consequences of reexpanding credits, making them... Less fun. Studios just moved the credits to the end and began with some establishing scene instead, as a compromise between the contributors and audience.

I guess anyone who mostly watched things after Lost wouldn't expect long tv intros. But then, most streaming services let you skip them, so it shouldn't be a big deal
One could argue (as Yuval Noah Harari does in the book Sapiens) that the ability to "come up with reasons why we're special", or more generally to reason about things that don't exist in a material form (like limited-liability corporations, deities, nation-states, or the notion that we're special) is exactly what makes humans special.

I wonder if numbers like this are really a reliable indicator of what's going on. The world is big enough that you can be "niche" and still appeal to millions.

Every formal axiom system, whether about sets or anything else, can only prove that N of Busy Beavers halt, for some (not-too-large in practice) finite number N. If you just want to maximize N, right now your best bet is set theory plus a very strong large cardinal axiom, like I0.

Perhaps simply because it is older, set theory is way ahead of its competitors in developing a hierarchy of extremely strong (but apparently consistent) axioms to supplement its base theory ZFC.

It's not libel if it's true, but securities fraud laws go far beyond "don't lie".

At least in the presence of a fiduciary relationship, offering true information can still be legally risky if it's done for the benefit of the broker instead of their client. Drose and Ackman are considerably safer because they're just making public statements, but there are quite a lot of ways to break the law around trading outside of actual libel.

Well that’s not true, because it’s pretty easy to imagine that once we get more women in the field through the pipeline, the environment becomes better for them (as they will represent a higher % of the “environment”) so the attrition rate should naturally drop.

Also AFAIK in general women leave fields more than men, because it is more typical for the woman to stay at home once they have a child. I would like to see the numbers relative to other fields.

Well, it's not their own money (to spend on coke and whores), but typically those are still their research funds so they have to make a decision as to whether to publish or buy new equipment, supplies, or get another TA/RA position.

> Except for the part where there is a common stdlib.

Yeah, and it's huge and interconnected (just see how much they had to do to get a java.base module and how large that still is). And the JVM has lots of specifics around threading, GC, OOP, classes, security model, etc. And many of those specifics don't translate to the needed safe-by-default, minimal-by-default bytecode for the web and other targets.

I could really go on for a long time about why applets failed and why JVM bytecode and the JVM runtime are terrible for the web (and any generic bytecode that doesn't target the web can't really be that generic). What is silly is ignoring all of this. Think about why there are already C++-to-WASM compilers after such a short time and no reasonably-usable and maintained C++-to-JVM compilers.

NX (FreeNX) and X2Go was already mentioned in the previous thread [1]. I've used NX successfully over 32 kbit/sec upload in 2005 (server in NL, client in CA/US). Latency was acceptable. But we're not talking about network speeds or latencies like 2G/Edge (which seems to be your use case). They support resuming of sessions. In other words, like RDP. And with regards to RDP: you can decrease the image quality to make it more bearable. Nowadays, open source implementations are available. If you're on very slow links you can also perhaps enable (more) compression, at the cost of more CPU power it might still actually decrease latency. Not sure if LZMA2 is used for compression in this context these days.

Good luck with your project!

Auteur - that was the word I was looking for. It's interesting how people deride the auteur concept (including Nolan!), but "auteurship" is exactly how I have found many movies I love: I'll take a chance on something I know nothing about, and if it's really good, I go looking for other movies by the same director or screenwriter. Similarly, I skip anything by Michael Bay or McG. I've not oft been disappointed with this process.
