That's not how that works. Net Neutrality is about preventing ISPs from limiting or throttling access to different parts of the internet. Under Net Neutrality Netflix can buy faster access to the internet at a higher price all it wants, they just can't buy access to you at a higher price. Without Net Neutrality an ISP could simply block you from having access to Netflix, or youtube, or facebook, or twitter, or amazon. Or they could throttle that traffic so that the experience was much worse than it would be otherwise. They could then force you or those companies to pay extra to "unlock" access.

Because broadband internet access in the US is substantially provided by effectively local monopolies there is a huge potential for abuse here, specifically in the form of "rent seeking". Without Net Neutrality there is a huge potential for ISPs to monetize access to you, to carve up, control, and censor what they allow to run over their pipes. This isn't hypothetical, it's happened. ISPs have blocked access to VOIP and voice chat services (like skype) because it competed with their own offerings. They've blocked access to specific webpages because they disagreed with the content on those sites. They've blocked access to streaming video. They've intercepted and redirected search queries (to sites like google) to their own commercial content. They've blocked payment services that competed with their own services. And so on.

You're making the argument that Nintendo refreshes and tries to innovate within these franchises and producing more games by volume, I'm making the argument that it's not about how different this year's Mario game is from last year's Mario game, it's about me being tired of Mario games from Nintendo and wanting to see some new IP. Splatoon is right now the most recent name I can think of to come out of House Nintendo as a wholly original game IP. Before that I think the first new original name to come from them was Pikmin.

And I'm NOT the only person who thinks this way. Nintendo has said so themselves. Five years ago[1]. And we're still got a new device with the same familiar platform drop titles: Mario, Mario Kart and Zelda.

[1]https://www.nbcnews.com/technology/nintendo-admits-it-needs-...

At least Naughty Dog, the creators of Crash Bandicoot got out of their comfort zone and explored multiple different IP, despite Crash ostensibly being to the PS1 what Mario was to the N64, and Sonic the Hedgehog was to the Sega Dreamcast.

> No public market for our ordinary shares currently exists. However, our ordinary shares have a history of trading in private transactions. Based on information available to us, the low and high sales price per ordinary share for such private transactions during the year ended December 31, 2017 was $37.50 and $125.00, respectively, and during the period from January 1, 2018 through February 22, 2018 was $90.00 and $132.50, respectively, in each case excluding the Tencent Transactions (as defined herein).

> As of February 22, 2018, we had 176,976,280 ordinary shares outstanding. Except as otherwise indicated, the number of ordinary shares outstanding excludes (i) 14,095,254 ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of stock options outstanding as of February 22, 2018 at a weighted-average exercise price of $49.02 per ordinary share, (ii) 191,985 ordinary shares issuable upon the settlement of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) outstanding as of February 22, 2018, and (iii) 6,720,000 ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants outstanding as of February 22, 2018, at a weighted average exercise price of $59.92 per ordinary share.

So their private valuation is somewhere between $15B and $23B?
This matches my experience almost exactly.

I had a common point about hashmaps -- the interviewer seemed to be at loss, and was asking weird questions that had little connection or relevance to the implementation path I'd chosen -- I politely explained the confusion and we swiftly moved on. They then marked that as a weak/"fuzzy" spot in their evaluation. I made sure to give my feedback about this to the person who shared the evaluation, but did not receive a response.

In the end, after making it to the company-matching phase, they found a whopping 1 company with <5 people, in an area I had clearly said I didn't plan on moving to. I don't know which part of the data-centric recruiting process got this so badly wrong.

Hoping that this process improves, but so far it hasn't lived up to expectations and I ended up finding multiple great matches on my own afterwards.

The quotes around "power interests" is because you used the term and I was quoting you directly, it's not a phrase I would personally use.

Assuming it's not coordinated or a conspiracy, how is it different than "some people like this book"? I mean this sincerely - I really don't understand why people liking this book and talking about it doesn't completely explain what we're seeing. That's what explains pretty much every other book that people talk about a lot, which is a lot of books.

I believe that this problem is far, far, far more pervasive than just a software/technology problem.

> there are means to validate a candidate's competency before they are allowed to interview for a position: licensing, required internships, legal certifications/authorizations, authorized relationships, and so forth.

The problems with credentials that you mention:

1. They are often weak signals of actual competence, and in the case that they are decent, there is still a lot of room for improvement through experimenting via a data driven process (current credentialing is, in many cases, outdated, and doesn't map to what actual work is like).

2. They are not accessible by everyone. This is problematic as the means to learning is becoming more accessible (through online education, etc.), but the credentialing is still restricted - since the institutions that hand them out haven't scaled credentialing. There is a lot of opportunity to provide signal for competence that scales... and measures skill that is actually used on the job (which is also changing as technology matures and penetrates other industries - we'll need a credentialing system that can adjust to those changes quickly).

In fact, I'll go as far as to say that this is a bigger problem in non-software industries. At least in software, there is a more objective way to measure a candidate's competence independent from the path they took to gain that competence. This means that people that might not have necessarily had a formal education / credentialing have a sliver of a chance of an opportunity to prove their skill. In other industries, if you don't have the credentialing, you have no shot.

Wow.

So human beings should stop using allowed file names because it's too hard for you?
Who on earth insists that? Only Windows programmers, I expect! But it's easy: make sure they're expressible in your syntax, then pass them through as part of the file name. Just like spaces. If there's a problem, you'll get an error back from the OS.

This happened at spotify too and I assume it's due to legal issues. When an artist released a certain album on one label and only that album disappears.

https://www.innocenceproject.org/

MY opinion of the US criminal justice system is that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackstone%27s_formulation is almost definitely not being followed, with the bias far into the false-positive conviction camp.

Come to think of it, why is the criminal justice system not "tested"? In other words, set up a mock situation where you know in advance who is innocent and who is not (because it's a setup), and run a mock trial by all the rules using actual jurors, and compare the outcome of the trial to the actual innocence or guilt of the actor?
Have you every lived under a totalitarian regime that uses intense surveillance?

This system is causing a chilling effect on creativity, differentiation and individualism. It forces people to hide their real thoughts and live a life of constant pretence/lies. It makes the safe-space (the creative-space) to shrink to the interior of one's head. It destroys the ability of population to protest and thus participate in the political life of the country.
Yup you're right, I'll add that. Thanks !
And they have a deal with my credit card where it's 50% off, so I pay $2.50/month for Spotify and Hulu :D
The difference here is that presumably fewer record companies have the money to fund the development of their own streaming service. The movie industry has much bigger players in the game.

Additionally I don't think anybody's cracked the code on how to make reliably well-received music yet. You can't distract the audience with good visuals and special effects if the plot is no good like in a movie.
Just like Robin Hood then? :)
> Sure, but it sometimes is useful to remember that those fictions are indeed fictions, and can be changed.

But they aren't necessarily even fictions. "Malcom Turnbull is the Prime Minister" is a true statement, even though it is (a) only true in a certain time and place and (b) it is a statement about purely social constructs.
I disagree.... the US was shit at producing weapons before WW2 (apart from Carriers), yet within two years was to able to be the number one mass producer in quantity, and eventually on quality.

When there is both political and economical will, the country will be able to mass-produce again. Right now there is no economic incentive to do so.
I've never understood the absolute premise of: money can't buy happiness.

It very obviously can. I'm happy when I'm not living in a ditch. When I'm warm in Winter. When I have food and I'm not afraid of starving to death. When I can afford to pay my rent or mortgage. And those are the primitives. I'm extremely happy when I can spend a month at the beach (say I live in the mountains or midwest), or hop on a plane and enjoy the glorious creations of cultures from Paris to Rome to Tokyo to Buenos Aires.

Up to a point? I call bullshit on that too. That's a lack of creativity. Assuming we're not talking "point" = the scale of the universe or something beyond reasonable human potential. I'd be very happy spending my life trying to figure out how to benefit humanity with the $127 billion Bezos is sitting on. It'd be an immense joy, it'd be challenging, it'd be rewarding, it would fundamentally further my happiness.

There are various types of personal happiness, some are more core than others. Articles that discuss the up to a point benefits of money always collapse due to that.

Google Developers – Machine Learning Crash Course
> This has happened over and over again in human history, native American civilizations serve as a great example.

A crucial point of contention here is: what counts as a "nation-state"?

States of various forms have certainly existed and come into existence repeatedly through human history, since about ~11,000 years ago. (That said, it's an interesting question why exactly states formed; there's some reason to think it required rather unusual conditions. The book Against the Grain by James Scott tries to tackle this topic.)

On the other hand, as the video describes it, a nation state is a state with a collective identity tied to a shared language, "race", and set of borders, usually maintained by a collective mythology which imagines this shared identity has deeper roots than it actually has. (For example, Joan of Arc is an important figure in the mythos of the French nation-state; but would most people living in what is now France in the 15th century have identified themselves primarily as "French"?)

I don't know much about native American history. Do you think most native American civilisations fit this description? I can think of plenty of states which don't. Examples of states which are not nation states would include: feudal states (medieval Europe); city-states (ancient Greece); empires of conquest (the Alexandrian empire, the Mongol Khanates); and empires united by religion (the early Caliphates).

10K songs is limiting to you?! Wow, how/for what do you use Spotify?

At a (low!) estimate of 4 minutes per song, if you listen to Spotify for 3hrs/day, it would still take you 222 days to listen to all of them once.

Is this a form of data hoarding? If not, how do you use that many songs?

"...Instead of trying to find ways to divide ourselves why not focus on empathy and the reasons to work together.."

The thing is, finding a (usually existential) reason to work together is part of what led to the nation-state.

Relatedly, a lot of carrier-based phone subsidy systems seem to have expired in the last couple of years. At this point, consumers are (mostly) bearing the full brunt of direct device cost, and a lot more consumers are taking market costs into account with replacement timing.

The 1-2 year replacement era seems to be at its end, and I think we're likely looking at a time where people replace phones more in line with desktop/laptop purchase cycles.
The Afterlife of Pablo Escobar
(Oh, you've unsealed a tin of whoop-ass now. I've dragged out my OED, vol VII, N-Poy.)

"An extensive aggregate of persons, so closely associated with each other by common descent, language, or history, as to form a distinct race or people, usually organized as a separate political state and occupying a definite territory."

This usage dates in English back to the 1300s, with a first example that I won't type because I'm not sure where the letter thorn is hiding; the second is "All naciun and lede aglit vr lauerd for to drede," from Crsor M, 1300. (Geeze, I need a magnifying glass or better cheaters.)

It enters English from French, and before from Latin (that is an 'L', right?): nation-em, "breed, stock, race, nation", from nasci, "to be born".

But it goes on to say, "In early examples the racial idea is usually stronger than the political; in recent use the notion of political unity and independence is more prominent." An example is from 1872, "In Switzerland four languages are spoken; yet the Swiss certainly make one nation."

From reading David Reynolds, my understanding is that the use of "nation" to mean a culturally-related (or "racially", or "historically", or something) group of people that ought to be a political unit, and vice versa, that a political unit ought to be a somehow-related group of people, is a relatively recent thing, possibly a gift of Woodrow Wilson following WWI. (Think of the phrase "nation-state".)

[Word of the day: "Natiform": Resembling or having the form of buttocks. Thanks, OED!]
This looks great, I'm definitely going to give it a try. Spotify has been slowly driving me crazy with the same exact songs in my daily mixes day after day just reshuffling.

Echoing with a similar bad experience although this might be their customer's (Mixpanel) fault. I applied to Mixpanel and they sent me a Triplebyte quiz. They bugged me a few times to fill it out and then promised to give me feedback "very quickly". I never heard back (I applied several months ago) and sent them 3 - 4 follow up emails.

I'm not sure if the fault lies with Triplebyte or Mixpanel but it was an overall shitty experience. To be asked to take out your time to complete a quiz (which can be automatically scored with an algorithm since its multiple choice) and then get radio silence is terrible. Even if it was Mixpanel's fault, they should ensure their partners actually follow up with interviewers. For example, I know that Hired (another platform) actually will ding an employer that doesn't respond to applicants.

Anyways, Mixpanel & Triplebyte are probably on my "never apply to again ever" list.
I agree. That being said, the reason I tried to choose my words carefully is that, in this instance, I think your point mainly functions as a distraction. I agree that things like witness testimony are sub-par as numerous studies have shown, but that's also an issue wholly separate from the point I was trying to make and I felt like mentioning it would be more of a distraction than a boon with regard to highlighting that there is a difference between being guilty and deserving to be imprisoned and purposely making life needlessly hellish for the inmates.
