Do you not use Prime Video at all? As someone who doesn't subscribe to Netflix, Hulu or any of the premium cable networks, I'm finding I get a pretty decent fill of entertainment with Prime Video alone.
This was my thought as well. My hope is one will see and respond to this post.

Pivotal's strong influence over CFF decisions comes from the fact that votes are assigned according to how many fulltime engineers you devote to Foundation work. Pivotal has more fulltime engineers on CFF projects than anyone else.

There are, as you note, pros and cons. It made sense at the time, as I think there were concerns about vendor politics getting in the way of developing the thing.

I guess one of these days we'll smash the CFF and CNCF together and stagger out with some kind of bicameral system, just for laughs.

So, I just had a look: Oct 2013, processed by a local attorney (Vienna/Austria). This was following to the page gaining some traction and popular attention in Japan. (Without intending any interpretation of this: I believe, in principle, you have to defend a trademark in order to uphold the rights – and at this point it was well in their radar.)
Thanks again.

Some constraints are inevitable in most businesses that are making money with a particular business model. So a UX designer brought in to a razor blade company that sells online may have to work with that and help sales of blades through the online channel, even if the research and intuition support some other better way to serve those customers (a chain of local barbershops), or that some other need (hair styling creams) will be more profitable.

What I'm understanding from your posts is that deciding what, if any, constraints there are up front, and communicating those to potential candidates, will help people self-select.
You could with an oracle. Without an oracle I think this would be impossible. How will the chain know the key in 10 years but not Bob now?

There is another way to look at it.

How much of the Tesla valuation is due to Musk? 20, 30, 50, 90%?

Each stunt like this makes which ever percentage that is a bit bigger.

What happens if or more like when Musk retires from Tesla to focus on SpaceX or another company? He’s running effectively 4 companies atm Tesla, SolarCity, SpaceX and the Boring Company eventually he could want or will have to focus on fewer ventures.

Tesla is effectively the only public traded company if he leaves the stock can tank and tank to the point where it would put them in serious trouble.
The problem is not that the sequence is random (it isn’t), but that the seed changes on a regular basis.

> You can still purchase via ACH and debit.

This isn't strictly true. These same banks have been known to close accounts that are associated with known crypto exchange transactions (coinbase, bitstamp, etc.) - to the point of most recommending you keep these transactions entirely separate and try to avoid them if possible.

I was originally interested in Bitcoin exactly due to this. Money in the bank is not your money, and that was made exceedingly clear to me on a few occasions. That they are corner cases and outliers is irrelevant to me - that's where the system breaks down and you find out exactly how powerless you really are until you're into 8 figure territory.

Basically do anything a bank determines is risky and you more or less forfeit your access to the US banking system.

Large banks actively choose winners and losers and who you can send your money to every single day. Try buying porn on-line with some credit cards for example.

I don't particularly think buying crypto with a credit card is a great idea, but it certainly highlights how much the war on cash and ever increasing centralized banking really has significantly reduced your personal freedom in just a couple decades.
You might be able to do this by having an Oracle as the intermediary - e.g. you write an Oracle that will reveal a private key at a certain point in the future, and the smart contract will be "activated" by the Oracle response. Problem is, where do you run an Oracle reliably?
This is the tech precursor of the Falcon 9 first stage, and shows that we could have been way ahead if we'd funded such things more way back in the 80s and 90s.

Our software product eventually got auto-save after having required manually saving for a while. We got rid of the save button, and got tons of complaints.

The button went back up, with no functionality, because users liked that.

Considering that the entirety of the blockchain is public, its impossible to actually put secrets into a smart-contract. You have to make the data available to all nodes that are actually running the smart contract data.

An interesting approach to solving this is homomorphic encryption. This allows for alice to give Bob to encrypted numbers A and B. Bob can then compute an encrypted version of A + B using only the encrypted versions of A and B.
This could be used by putting an encrypted secret on the blockchain, after which everyone can compute using that secret, but cannot see the actual outcome.

This still won't help with random number generation though, because it remains deterministic.

The sceptical counterargument to that, which I go back and forth on, is "that's what they said about chess". There was a transitional period when this was true, then the engines disappeared into the middle distance.

I work on the hunch that the middle-ground of tasks where humans improve on, or with, machines is both small and unpredictable; computers will tend towards being either useless or strongly superhuman for each problem.

Since our reality is based on randomness at a very low level (eg radiation patterns), what makes you believe that this randomness is somehow lost on a higher level?
Pro-tip: write in to United any flight you have where something goes wrong. They'll usually reply with a travel certificate. They almost always have something wrong (broken wifi, in flight entertainment, delays, missed connections, etc.). Each time, it's an opportunity to score.

I write this from the airport lounge after getting off a $260 flight, which I paid mostly with a $200 certificate with the last flight's issue, and landed to a new $175 certificate for broken wifi. I'm up to over $5000 in such compensation in the past couple years.

One thing worth being strategic about.
Chrome for Android does the same thing. If you start loading a page, then disconnect your phone through your router (with mobile data off), the progress bar will continue to move until your phone realizes that you no longer are connected to wifi.
>Less than 1 percent of Amazon Prime members even consider other sites in the same shopping session, according to market research consultancy Millward Brown Digital.

Yes, because I dont care for the shipping cost but the guaranteed overnight shipping for pretty much everything I need.

The argument, that you get cheaper delivery is moot if that isnt the reason why you use amazon prime.
They didn't address the pricing issue well. For well known products, Amazon Prime may have cheap prices. For random items, they often are more expensive (more often than not, in my experience). More expensive compared to other sites/local stores, and more expensive than the non-Prime option from Amazon.

People who sell FBA on Amazon make good money because people who have Prime usually only buy Prime-eligible products. You can get a book + shipping for, say, $10 if you are willing to forego 2 day shipping. But the lowest prime-eligible price may be $20. These are not hypothetical prices. I've sold stuff using Amazon FBA where many of the cheapest sellers are selling under $10, and I list it at, say, $25 for Prime users, and I still sell it. A lot of Prime users simply filter for Prime options and never consider the cheaper options on the same page.
You need someone trustworthy to audit it before anyone runs it.

You mean to say everyone has to use the same congestion algorithm in order for TCP flow control to work and not collapse the Internet? Apparently not Google, since they deployed TCP BBR and use it even for connections from the Internet, including on YouTube, and things seem to be beneficial rather than detrimental. It's not the only TCP implementation that is using stats other than packet drops to drive flow control. I'm guessing it works because both sides of the TCP connection can employ their own flow control for outgoing packets and the asymmetry doesn't do anything since they only care about controlling their own side.

You can imagine how this would work trivially with lawyers (acting as executors/trustees, as they often do).

Take your secret key, split it into N pieces, create M parity pieces, RAID-style, for redundancy, distribute to M+N lawyers with instructions to reveal in 10 years. Lawyers put them into safe-deposit boxes for the duration, reveal in 10 years.

A mildly eccentric person could even do this at scale: create a public/private keypair for every year for the next, say, century, publish the public keys, distribute the private key pieces with instructions to a wide range of lawyers. Members of the public can encrypt and publish data with the appropriate public key, assuming they trust the system.
I would love to see a version of this applied to both VR and AR but it seems that the current implementation is still slow for the performance that VR requires.

From the site:
"During inference, our system operates at 25fps on 320x240 images and 4-5fps on 800x1100 images using a GTX1080 graphics card."

For good VR/AR experiences you'll want better FPS
What about today’s taxis, busses, trains, planes? I don’t see passengers pay attention to the road to prepare for driver initiated braking, lane change or speed adjustment. I would assume passengers not paying attention today in human driven vehicles will continue to not pay attention in autonomous vehicles because nothing changes (as long as these vehicles drive similar to human drivers).
>Shoot me, but there's only so much of life's minor routines that can be handled "strategically" before I've got no ability to enjoy family, pick fun/gutsy new professional goals, travel with gusto, etc.

The more services you have, the more the desire to strategize. A different solution is simply not to utilize so many services in your life. Do you really need all of them? I've never had wifi on a flight, and life is not miserable. Ditto for purchases. How much have you bought in the last year that you did not properly utilize and is sitting around the house that you intend to get to one day?

When you spend less time altogether shopping, then you suddenly have more time to be strategic about the things you do buy.
Not explicitly Prime-related, but the author ponders why someone would shop at Amazon rather than Walmart (as an example).

We don't have Walmart in my part of the world, but what I can say is that Amazon is the preference not just for the fast delivery, but for the security. If I get delivered a crap product that's not as described, I know Amazon won't argue with me. I dread taking anything back to any other retailer I've dealt with. There's only so many times you can be told some variant of "oh we can't help you because you broke the seal that you needed to break to open the box". I'll vote with my wallet, and if it means hegemony, then Amazon's competitors should have started giving a rats behind years ago.

Who bears the cost of the most expensive healthcare? And what is the effect of it?

> The healthcare system looses money and the government injects money back, either directly from taxes or by some other means.

The government doesnt have money. Its your money. There's no difference between the government paying it and you paying it, except the government takes a slice along the way. Government is seldom if ever efficient there.

I dont think french people were happy when retirement age was increased, which was to balance the budget. And the spending per capita is amongst the highest in europe. Its not a perfect system.

You are also making assumptions by result. You are saying france has great healthcare because its provided by the government, because it has great healthcare. There are no shortage of examples of countries with socialized medicine and disastrous results, so we must dig deeper to have a model we can compare.

Just a little edit here that didn't come in under the wire... I don't think this is going to bottom out for a year or two and ETH will probably be under $100 when it does. Thus these ICOs that are now trading for 20 cents a token will be trading for 2 cents a token or less. Now, assuming they actually developed a product and are operating and ICO investors are getting some sort of profitable use out of those tokens... I might consider buying a few.

I think you miss the point but feel free to provide feedback to the devs: this is a RFC after all.

I have used the minimals for years now and they really do give you a pretty decent starter for 10, with a minimum of hassle and a minimum of bloat. Boot the ISO (PXE, obviously) and off you go.

Even doing the install by hand, you get a fully patched basic server up and running within 10-20 minutes - the install is all off the current packages. Add Samba and a few copy n pastes and you have AD joined. A few more copy n pastes from your docs and you have an app server.

I wrote this lot: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Intranet which simply assumes Ubuntu mini at the moment. I do have screenshots and could put together a pretty noddy guide for that bit but I'm not sure its necessary. Actually now I come to think of it, it probably is. Couple that with my Ref. build and you have a domain joined, Kerberized etc app server within about an hour if you do the job by hand and are unfamiliar with the process. I can do it rather quicker.

Yes, the installer is a 30MB image - good. An installer's size is no reflection on the installation size.
