Do they ever actually hire people directly to make any of their content? I assumed it was all contracted out to production companies, I know it is for some shows. They could do the same thing for games just acting like a distributor.

I think it's more likely to keep people subscribed then generate new subscriptions. No one person is going to like all the content they make. Personally I'd really enjoy having some fun well made mobile games I knew wouldn't try to sucker me at every turn with IAP. I think people with kids would really appreciate this. Their competitive advantage is they don't have to worry about IAP or marketing.

I don't think this really falls into the category of "throwing spaghetti at the wall." It's creating entertainment content for a fixed monthly cost. Different entertainment, sure, but it's no self driving car.
It's an interesting point. The level of aggression needed to get cross-town in Manhattan at rush hour is clearly very different from how you drive in a smaller city with modest traffic.

I'm still of the opinion that this is pretty far out except maybe on highways but good to see experimentation under a variety of conditions.
They're not kubernetes-specific, but apparently there are people who think deploying PG in it will magically Just Work(tm).

What I took away from TFA is two-fold: clustered-DB administration is hard to automate (e.g., there's a reason DBAs exist), and a lot of the tooling DBAs use now has to be rebuilt to function in a k8 environment, or replaced.

The first struck me as blindingly obvious; the second I find highly relevant, personally.
This would be amazing. Then we could have real data on who the best and worse driving cities are.

It will have zero effect on US manufacturing in 2018. When photovoltaic panels become the source of the majority of electrical power in the mid-2020s, it will have an enormous effect on US manufacturing.
Come on, any comment like mine above has an implicit "all else being equal" in it. I didn't say that to describe some absolute formula but to contextualize my later remarks.
The GDAX verification only worked for me on my phone. It required the browser to be able to access a camera.

It blows my mind that the behind-the-scenes exchange for Coinbase would be designed mobile-first/mobile-exclusive like that. I understand the mobile-first push in a lot of places, but somehow I kinda thought this was a niche that it wouldn't be as good of a fit for. (I can't wait until sites for downloading desktop software are mobile-first.) Works on desktop since I'm verified at least.
Go code is, in effect, running on the client, I assume it's compiled to javascript using gopherjs.
The site mentions GopherJS (https://github.com/gopherjs/gopherjs), which compiles Go to javascript.
Why can't it be solar manufacturing as well? The US has cheaper AND cleaner electricity than China and our engineering knowledge is among the best in the world.

Solar Fabrication plants are being made in the USA, and from my understanding, we have higher-tech panels which reach higher levels of efficiency. If the solar manufacturing industry gets a boost in the US, then we can likely make them cheaper too, due to the scaling of mass production.

There were a lot of votes cast before the incident, so the outcome might have been different had the incident happened sooner.
Cops have a lot of discretionary power and, unfortunately, operates with very little information at hand. If you're for any reason in a "bad" neighborhood, specially if you're non-white having one of those may be the difference between a stop and go, or spending a few hours in a precinct.
They're way more common in New York. Way less common in California. But there's also a scene about it in CHiPs.
I'm not sure if it's just me or have there been zero new releases in the DVD section in 2018? Also sometimes I found DVD's on their top 100 list before they show up in the new releases section - like they don't want to have a bunch of people ask to rent a disc if they think it's going to be popular.
How do they make money?? I mean - seriously? And how will they stand up now that NN is gone and any company/website using much more traffic will be force to pay more?

Please help me with the math -- at any given day, me, my wife and 2 kids are streaming netflix on multiple devices in HD; most likely pulling tens of gigabytes of data per day. How is that all covered under $10.99 per month?? and on the top - they make solid profit?? HOW??
It says Authorization, but this is really more of an anti-CSRF token, not an actual authorization credential, and anti-CSRF tokens are completely legitimate to return over an unauthenticated HTTP endpoint.
At least on Windows, TCP performs better than named pipes.
Surprising development. I wonder if this will complement Gigalixir or compete with it.

The ability to connect between nodes, avoid mandatory restart, avoid connection limits and keep websocket connections alive easily gives compute engine a significant advantage over platforms like Heroku.
Failure to handle NTSC frame rates is exactly why no one uses a time definition like this. ISO/MP4 gets it right: Using a time scale with sample durations. If you work with tracks or files with different time scales you just use the smallest common multiple of those to become your working time scale. Works every time, even for NTSC frame rates.

For instance for a file with 48Khz sound and 30000/1001 (29.97...) frame rate you would convert to a time scale of 48048000. Worst case would be mixing 48Khz, 44.1Khz and NTSC video: 1009008000.
We're not doing anything special to help set up distributed Erlang at the moment. It would probably be difficult with App Engine because it's designed to manage stateless containers. But I could imagine setting up such a network with Kubernetes Engine, or definitely with Compute Engine VMs.
Very interesting—a sort of geographic and time-of-day based gradient across the parameters of the vehicle’s “profile” would be something very intriguing to hear more about.
IANAL, but AFAIK, SCOTUS pared down honest services fraud. http://www.scotusblog.com/2010/06/honest-services-law-pared-...
It currently doesn't do automated clustering of nodes out of the box. It should be possible to build a clustering strategy for libcluster (https://github.com/bitwalker/libcluster) for App Engine. Note that there's already a kubernetes strategy which could run on the Google Kubernetes Engine.
I think we're far beyond valid use of federal power at this point ?
Another one of those things I have to come to HN and read about the US situation in order to reflect on the situation at home. I never even considered a situation where I’d be ”trapped” at home.

It works like this: If you aren’t fit to walk to a bus stop, you get tax subsidized taxi (think it’s about 70 or 80% subsidized).
One positive is this may help US manufacturers. The Asian countries with strong economies (China, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea) adopted similar policies in the later half of the 20th century to help develop their manufacturing industries. It worked. The Asian countries that didn't adopt similar policies are still poor today.
Its always amazing to realize how big 2^64 really is. 2^32 Flicks is about 6 seconds (which can be enough, but still not that useful), but 2^64 is over 800 years, which should be quite enough for anything needing this sort of precision. It would be actually pretty nifty to have this in eg. `struct timespec` and overall base rtc around Flicks
Yes, but I'd put it this way: making stock comments, especially with a flamebaity edge.
F# is my language crush. Been following it and hoping to use it for a long time. I'm in a leadership position and could MAYBE push to standardize on it however the current more likely scenario is TypeScript(I know, I know) due to my having already successfully pushed that out haha. Unfortunately the ship is already a bit far from shore.

Trying to move us completely away from Python for infra due to its tooling/language services being a post-apocalyptic wasteland. We will always have it around for pandas and ML work though.
No, market orders aren't free.
ForEach is an unusual statement. Depending on the context in which it's used, sometimes it's an alias of ForEach-Object, but sometimes it is not. The following article has more details on this, but one thing that I'd like to highlight now is that one way that ForEach and ForEach-Object can differ from each other is in memory use, as ForEach will load all objects that it's iterating over into memory first before starting the loop, whereas ForEach-Object will not. As suggested before, more details can be found here:

https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/heyscriptingguy/2014/07/...

Going back to the naming conventions, the conventional way to write ForEach is in PascalCase. The variations slip into code as it's also an alias, and aliases tend to be in all lower case, and also because naming convention guidelines are just suggestions, not something that is strongly enforced (Foreach does seem to be commonly used, even if it's not necessarily in the standard styles).

Generally speaking, PowerShell coding style is similar to .NET coding style. You can read a discussion about it here:

https://github.com/PoshCode/PowerShellPracticeAndStyle/issue...

By the way, I respect your right to use whatever language you like best, I'm just clarifying that whilst PowerShell may not have it's "PEP-8" or gofmt, there are still conventions that PowerShell coders follow.

Growth. Netflix is after a giant global market and investors would rather growth and investing in new content than a dividend. Yes, the stock has been on a tear, but they've also grown subscribers 25% YoY while also raising their prices. That's an impressive feat for a company already as large as Netflix.
Wow, I posted this story twice within the past 24 hours. The first one didn't quite get enough momentum, and the second got nothing.

I knew it was a winner. I should have gone for 3.

1pm on Monday didn't do it. Looks like 5pm EST was a better time.
Let me put it another way: are you saying you have no cold-start penalty?

Edit: and to answer your question -- no, I have not personally benchmarked it. Can you point me to your suite? I've been thinking it would be useful to work on a benchmark that different implementations can share to catch regressions (and earn bragging rights, of course).
included in this is, if bitcoin doesn't fall to zero (as people wouldn't use coinbase if bitcoin was worthless). in a way I guess, it's kind of like owning some bitcoins, because if bitcoin tanks, coinbase will be worthless
There are a few options. IMO the best is saving ip address that each DNS name is resolved to for every connection for the duration of a windows existence.
It's mainly prevalent in the tristate area.
You have use value and exchange value.

Exchange value is most often price, but it is in reality the vector of the equivalent amount of goods and services you will receive for a unit of some good or service.

The point of money is that it collapses all exchange values to two vectors, one for selling to money, one for buying with money.

The downside of money is that it hides many very obvious relationships. In a topical case, that the cost of video cards has essentially stayed constant when expressed as etherium units.

tl;dr: money lets you calculate prices as n, exchange values needs n^2.

I like go and I make games. I have considered making a go client with loads of mad options that you can configure at will. Eg. More than 2 players, triangular or hex grids, toroidal, play at same time, analog (place stone wherever) etc.
There's a substantial amount of depictions of police corruption in America that does make it into media, but often times the depiction is so extreme or so jarring that people write it off as being substantially fictional rather than substantially real. Take, for example, the TV show "The Shield", which had roots in the LAPD rampart/CRASH scandal. There's plenty in the show that isn't real, but the reality is about as extreme.
A 30% margin is probably good enough to build a fully automated solar cell fab locally.

Trump is just trying to hurt solar, because he is paid by the dying coal industry. But he can't stop the inevitable, maybe slow it down slightly.
until each of these services hike up their prices and more of them spawn up.
I think this is the right response. Throughout history, you see that when countries preserve their manufacturing, their economy, as a whole does better. We've seen it with the rise of China over the past few decades, isolationist Japan during their industrial revolution, and even America with their industrial revolution.
The manufacturing facilities in the US are largely foreign owned.

It's a tiny number of manufacturing jobs, at the expense of far more solar installation jobs, and the largely US-owned companies that do installs.
CDNs will reduce bandwidth costs per user to essentially nothing. Content creation is the lion's share of their costs.
Twenty one states have enacted laws against municipal broadband, including ... Montana. The FCC under Obama overturned these. Given broadband providers now are effectively getting their wish-list, it seems like these laws may come back in force.

> clustered-DB administration is hard to automate (e.g., there's a reason DBAs exist)

This is why I'm excited about CockroachDB; it hopefully will make operating DB cluster easier.
I've heard (and seen) that in JP, people wear masks to protect other people from sickness. That said, I don't think I've seen an example of a debilitatingly sick person wearing a mask; only their caregivers wear masks. A seriously sick person has no ability to receive the training and certification to wear an N95 mask.

Besides infected people are contagious before they're symptomatic so no one would know to suggest they wear a mask. Early warning nasal swab? Pillow mounted HEPA filter? I'm not sure we know about enough about transmission to really understand how to prevent it...
No, the "vuln" is assuming that only users on the machine can access localhost. This is a completely reasonable assumption, and it is on the browsers for invalidating it.
The fire department will usually just break your windows and run the hose through the car. From what I understand it doesn't actually slow them down by much (I'm obviously not condoning this activity). If it's an expensive car they'll make sure that the hose leaks. A lot.

Plenty of examples if you search for "fire hose through car"
That is an absolutely and totally different situation — Omar has the card as a reward for having done the justice system itself a big favour, as opposed to nepotism. Still morally questionable as it’s very unofficial, but he has been given it for contributing to society in general — by a person (DA?) whose job it is to make decisions like that — rather than being related to a cop.

Trump to impose 30 percent tariff on solar cell imports
That's not why it's militaristic. It's militaristic because the military is shown as a cure-all. Joining the military leads to having a fulfilled life. Joining the military means one care about one's country, as opposed to being a selfish coward, which is why only proven "patriots" are allowed the vote. The career military men are portrayed as extremely honorable. The non-military characters, such as the protagonist's dad, are depicted as rich but deeply unhappy folks, and the only fix is embracing the military. The book glorifies the military to such a degree that a good case could be made for it being a parody.
Out of curiosity do you mind sharing the location?
Great, just when I was about to buy a washing machine. I wonder how fast the price will go up.
I think it's mostly just random what does or doesn't get attention. I noticed an article yesterday that only took off on its ninth posting: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=The%20Death%20of%20Microservic....

We try to rescue good stories that fell through the cracks and put them in the second-chance queue, described at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11662380 and links back from there. But it's random what gets seen that way, too. Plus it depends on how much energy we have and whether there are flamewars going on elsewhere and whatnot.
Worse than the PBA stories is hearing about the diplomatic immunity shenanigans all sorts of members of a diplomatic family would get away with.

Not sure how much was true and how much was exaggerated, but some were eye opening.
True. (Though the USSR's first successful air drop wasn't until Oct 1951, well into the Korea War.)

Soviet nukes were not why the U.S. held back in Korea. It was the unpleasant prospect of a war with China (albeit a non-nuclear China).

https://www.airspacemag.com/military-aviation/how-korean-war...

And it didn't use them in Vietnam because it was thought to require so many (dozens/hundreds) as to be the antithesis of reunification.

In short, the US avoided nukes for decades in the hope of peace, not because there were any nukes sighted on D.C. (MAD).
Trump's solar tariffs won't bring back manufacturing from China
It's hard for a non-American to appreciate just how different their urban environments are compared to the US, and vice versa.

It was certainly a shock to me when I first arrived to the USA... "Why is everything so far away? Why does every building have a bunch of empty space around it? (i.e. mandated setbacks)" etc.

The lack of real cities is probably my least favorite thing about the USA.
When are they going to let me sell my coins from Australia... can buy but not sell and no date advertised, just ‘soon’. I feel like I got scammed.
Wow, that's two orders of magnitude fewer than the number of people shot and killed in the US in 2017.

With Android being the concrete pillar of stable OSes that it is, I would blame them for building a phone that can explode because of a software flaw.
Aren't many energy intensive processes like aluminum smelting and Bitcoin mining already relying on low cost hydroelectric power.
I don't know for the other twos but Mubi doesn't have much of a collection. They have a rolling 30 titles chosen by them. It's interesting if you want to discover new movies (though heavily dependent on their taste being aligned to yours), but not so much if you pull the filmography of Gene Hackman on imdb and want to watch the movies you haven't seen already.

[edit] actually none of the other two you mentioned is available in the UK...
A learning system needs some kind of feedback which it can use as a loss function to measure its performance. If that feedback is strongly negative, then it will be functionally identical to pain. If you want to go down the qualia/p-zombie rabbithole and claim that this "isn't really pain" then go right ahead, but I don't see how you can rationally claim a difference.

And pain does tell you, quite precisely, which part of you is being damaged, along with diagnostic info(sharp pain? pressure? hot/cold? intermittent and correlated with something?). It's a thousand times better than any diagnostic system in use on industrial machinery today.
It's contractual. Abiding by contracts you sign is not ridiculous. These are very wealthy investors and this is part of the game they play. Stop acting like some little person is getting screwed.
This would make for a great Kickstarter.
Tax cuts will probably steam roll any effects of this tariff for the economy (unless we see a crash relatively soon, but whatever, Dow at 26,214, why stop now?)

I don't think domestic solar panels are 30% more expensive than imports anyway, especially into the future with tax cuts, so the actual increase price paid is probably less.
You're close.

I's more like if when your kids aren't around, you get sick.

And it would be incredibly easy to go get your kids back. Like maybe they're just at their grandma's house or something, idk the analogy gets kinda weird.

So you get sick, and not just "feeling a bit green," but fetal position, rocking back and forth, vomiting, runny nose, achy muscle sick. You'll grind your teeth and it's all you can think about, followed by weeks of insomnia.

And after the initial WDing, starts Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome, 6 months to 2 years of feeling shitty (depression, insomnia, mania, restless legs, cravings). And the worst part is a simple phone call and a 20 minute drive could make everything better...at least for a little while.
We should probably have to ponder a lot of things before doing that. For instance what could happen if a bad flu virus embarks on a vessel that would crash back on earth in 1 century or 1 millenia ?
We live in a post-truth society now [1]. OK, maybe we're not all the way yet, but it's interesting (and scary) to speculate about what society might look like if it becomes much harder to verify if a given statement is true or false.

Wow, you have a truly unique mix of languages in your family! :)

I thought about this a little more, and yes, community did help me develop my mother tongue a lot. There were the parents who exclusively spoke the language, but I would frequently visit my grandparents, who would also speak it. And they would take me to visit other members of the clan, who would also speak that. Perhaps it is a diversity of people speaking the language that gives one a certain amount of fluency?

I learned Hindi because it is the national language and my peers in school usually conversed in it. English was what most books were written in and it was the language of instruction. So it seemed very natural to be fluent in multiple languages.
There will be seeders long as Amazon, Hulu, Netflix, Youtube, Apple, etc. all pay for exclusive content. No way I'm buying all N providers.
