My thoughts exactly.

It seems to me that the target market of these “influencers” is teens with little to no money that spend hours looking at these “influencers” exactly because these pictures are as close as they’re gonna get to that luxury lifestyle.

People who can actually afford this will just go on holidays by themselves with no thoughts about the “influencers” whatsoever, also because by the time you can afford such lifestyles you widen up to the obvious commercial intents of these influencer “recommendations”, making their “review” purpose moot.

In my social circle people who spend days & nights looking and sharing the influencer pictures can’t actually afford any of that even if they wanted to. Those that can afford it don’t give a damn about the influencers.

Shared, assembleable components is a dream shared by good projects such as Node-RED and the Sugar desktop environment.

There's a lot of rethinking what an app is that's necessary to get to a more "lego" like system, where things snap together & work together via common, regular interfaces. It requires throwing out a colossal amount of the user-experience work we've done, & finding broad top-down principles & systems that serve and guide & place & route the individual components & their connections, which is "some seriously next level shit".

When someone else pointed out that you need another hash function on the front:

Author: "Why [would] Fibonacci hashing not work as a hash function alone? It should, unless you have a use case that results in lots of Fibonacci numbers being inserted. You can use the identity function as the hash when you use Fibonacci hashing to assign a hash to an index."

Completely offtopic, but what DE/WM is that?
I never though of this question before, so I went down the rabbit hole to find the answer.

I started by checking the ownership of the videos on YouTube (through Content ID). All recent videos are claimed by emails on a domain entonegroup.com. The domain itself yields nothing as it's registered with an extra privacy option.

However the email leads to a lady that works for Entertainment One that also advertises [0] the ownership of the content.

I also checked the earliest videos of Peppa and it seems like they were produced by a different individuals, which would suggest that, at least this show, was acquired by Entertainment One.

Number 2 is a big one.

I'm still trying to figure out my own way through it all, but a good example of this are people who live outside of the "hubs" and work regular, townspeople jobs. They earn mid-range incomes and do fine by engaging in life outside if it.

It's not a bad way to live— but it's a matter of priorities. Hell, I live in a major city, don't have a car, and work pretty steadily.

The people I've known who are construction workers, police officers, etc— they get out and around far more often than I do. And they can afford to.

A large part of the initial appeal of Netflix, in particular for foreigners, was that they seemed to house digitized versions of straight-to-VHS movies that never left USA.

But after the initial raving success, the big studios have been clamping down on giving blanket access to their back catalog of obscurities. Looking for those extra percentages of leaving out the middle man.
I’m a believer in the cost of something being a representation of the resources used up in providing that product/service.

Even if the train itself produces less CO2 than a car, somewhere along the line those extra EURs are being used to buy things that produced CO2. And Germany’s gas taxes keep that in mind.

Or maybe the car company just needed to relocate cars out of Munich (no surprise during Oktoberfest) and there weren’t many train tickets left.
People also want to feel unique and special. If you can show them something they can have/do that everyone else is not doing or doesn't know about then that has value to them. Even if it's as simple as a restaurant that they already go to, but don't know about something great you can order or experience there.

Having recently been involved in trademarking some company assets, it seems that the rule of thumb is that it's ok to use a name if it's not already taken by a competing company or service. This is also particular to a region. Finding a good name that works across the world is a headache.

There will be tons of overlap in open source software, always. No point in getting upset about it. Most of the time, the purpose of the software is completely different.

That being said, I think this is a good rule of thumb out of courtesy and good judgement, even if trademarks are not involved. It just leads to dilution of both brands/projects, if they are similar enough in what they do.

For this, I'm only aware of Mozilla's Project Mentat [1], but no problem there.

Of course there have to be criteria for any course of study that leaves out plenty of artists that have to be considered not significant enough to cover.

If you were designing a course in either chronological order or in reverse, niether one might ever touch on groups like the Residents, Young Marble Giants, Donovan or Charles Ives--but what if you couldn't even get back to Mozart, Charlie Parker or Woody Guthrie from your current starting point?
Agreed. Except it is extremely common for parents to let their kids watch YouTube unsupervised (and when I mention the problems they don’t want to hear it; “nah it’s fine, they won’t click weird stuff...”), so this does beg the question whether YouTube should be responsible too (I think they should).
That said, YouTube is banned in our house because of this and Netflix is way superior anyway.
Get a light cheap laptop with a great display - maybe a Chuwi Lapbook 12.3 if you really want to go #lowend - and spend those $2000 you'll save from not buying a ghastly expensive laptop on cloud resources to do your research right, and at a scale you'll never be able to achieve with a GPU or three.

it sounds like the weight was the point:

it wasn't just a fan, it was a way to show off your power to dinner guests - "look how much effort my slaves are putting in to keeping you comfortable".

I found this really interesting in the context of current discussion around automation - whether this work was being done by slaves or by paid servants, it still seems shocking to me that human labour would ever be wasted on something so trivial. i wonder what people 100 years in the future will be shocked that we wasted effort on.
The YouTube problem is solved very easily: use the firewall to shitcan the whole site. Require mandatory VPN through same firewall for all mobile devices. Done. At the very least, my child never gets to see any of this crap.
They say 400 hrs/min of uploads is too much to police. But not too much to find the most profitable ad to run on it. That is why YouTube are clearly turning a blind eye.
> Pre-internet Blockbuster had an overpowering / dominate "stack" and that was their downfall.

That is because the internet replaced them. Streaming is a direct replacement for video rentals. It's the exact same movie but you don't have to drive to the video store to get it. The industry itself doesn't go away. There isn't any apparent new distribution method that will do to the internet what the internet did to brick and mortar stores.

VR is a completely different industry, more related to video games than film, and from a distribution standpoint is nothing new. VR isn't going to cause people to download games from some hypothetical new non-internet distribution network.
I think Instagram is just replacing magazines. People use their phone for inspiration like they used to read paper travel content. Even if they are not traveling, the content fuels imagination and dreams.

Absolutely. Here in Portugal they don't even appear in the top 3, and in many other EU countries they're not the first. Many of them are developed by the local banking system (like iDEAL[1]), but SEPA transfers are used too, since they're usually free.

Well, how would you incentivise journalism? I can’t tell where articles i might want to read come from; i know that any given newspaper will have plenty of content that i find head scratching—that’s your editorial independence for you. There’s no good model right now to patronize journalists or topics.
Having watched a few of these videos, it's not that they have a message but they're a contentless stream of semi-dramatic events (of the events violent). Something that would only entertain a 2 year old. But naturally they are aim at 2 years olds (or there-abouts).

This is also a natural result of parents using video as a baby-sitter for kids too young to really have any judgment of their own. So we have parent who won't exercise judgment, kids who can't and youtube which is expected to do so.

This goes naturally with the recent item about large corporations discriminating against pregnant women. If society isn't offering parents any extra time to take care of their kids, parents fall back in automated methods. We're finding downsides to such automation but that doesn't stop it, given that society isn't offering any time for alternatives.
Is this just theory or are you actively trialing experiments with orgnets?
It is not a question of beeing "tricked" into learning. It is just that we lean best when we start somewhere we can understand and relate to our current experiences and understanding of the world. Then learning from this point will expand the frame of reference allowing us to learn more and more. This is not due to capitalism, this is fundamental for humans.

Mexican Government Reports Artificial Earthquake Caused by Goal Celebrations
I demand there be a similar 7% cap for Africa and Europe too.

Africa is a continent, India is a country. The cap isn’t based on diversity, but a country. The reason being the same as several people including myself have stated, namely so that one country doesn’t dominate at the direct expense of all others. Your personal demands based on what you personally want because it would advantage you aren’t how policies anywhere are made.

Given that, and given that your argument is neither consistent nor in good faith, I’m out. It’s clear that you don’t care about diversity or discrimination or anything else, you’re just all about personal advantage. That’s not an argument, it’s a form of bigotry.
Sure, but the bigger problem is that Google makes an app targeted at kids (“YouTube Kids”) which is supposed to only show age appropriate material.

It’s a huge problem that Google is just blaming on “algorithms”. Meanwhile little 2 year old Johnny gets to see Peppa Pig killed in a variety of ways.

It’s not only the overt violence either. There’s some really weird sort of cult programming stuff that slips past the filter because they put it at the very end of an otherwise normal clip.

But yeah, just delete it. Plenty of quality apps for kids.

I think it is a valuable approach to art history, but I am doubtful it will work for history in general. Going backwards, looking for the causes of what happens later, is very prone to hindsight bias.
This is odd to hear since that "free roam" idea of letting them wander for miles unsupervised is all the rage on here. I'd say that's much more reckless than letting them use the internet. Unsupervised computer use at a young age was nothing but a positive for me, yet being left unsupervised with an irresponsible neighbor's dumb kids left me with a crushed wrist and internal bruising from a bicycle accident and the beginning of lifelong weight problems from the subsequent aversion to such activity.

Don't worry, that is going to change in about nine months or so...
Can't emphasise this enough. Any system that lets (rich) people vote on what the truth is cannot be called journalism. It is simply not how facts work. This is also why Elon Musks recent initiative ("Pravduh"?) has all the populist appeal in the world, yet contains the risk to do serious damage to journalistic independence.
I think it only sounds like a good idea because you already know the details of what comes before. If you had absolutely no knowledge of history, I think this method would not work well.

There are so many details that led up to WW2 that going backwards would just feel messy. All the things happening in Europe would have to be described in a way where you already know about the next war but now have to list off these different events.

I don't think that going backwards is going to make things interesting for anyone who isn't going to be interested in it forwards. The technique of teaching (a good teacher) will do more for this than teaching things backwards.
Sounds familiar. Welcome to the “Western” internet.
Well aware. I’ll also point out that Mercedes’ GPS was awful at the time. It would send us through these “shortcuts” that it thought were 80km/h, but was actually posted at 30.

We gave up on it when it said this 1-lane railway underpass, for 2 way traffic, was an 80km/h road...
History is about what happened, not what could have happened. You can then speculate on how things could have been given some specific changes, but the fact is that we don’t know how the alternate universe would develop and evolve, and you are now closer to fiction than history.

In a way it’s correct to say that it was inevitable, because it did happen. All the other alternatives didn’t, even if we believe they could have.

Each actor has its own WAL, and so I suppose only operations within a single actor are consistent. Multi-actor transactions use two-phase commits.

Graph databases are a really neat thing that liberate you from the need to figure out your database schema at the outset and also allow much faster searching than traditional table-based queries across huge datasets. They're ideal for sparse data or for collections of data whose structure/relationships you're not sure about, and also allow very fast searches because the number of steps between different nodes typically grows more slowly than the number of records between different table entries.

There are a bunch of them on the market, Neo4j is probably the most popular (and has lots of good quality introductory text on the website and on youtube). Graph databases are key to many major internet services, eg Google, Twitter, and Facebook are all just really big graph databases.

This particular graph database stores all its data in a single file trading speed and simplicity off against flexibility. I'm not an expert but it seems like it would work very well for search queries, but poorly for tasks involving a lot of contributors like a chat server.

Centralised memory management doesn't inherently conflict with a decentralised OO design.

If you refactor your object construction into factory functions, you can make the factory responsible for implementing the memory management, and the objects themselves responsible for implementing the memory use. The objects can be ignorant about the handle array. The objects can delegate any memory-related functions to the factory methods.

If you're talking about HBO Go, I don't know how you gauge success, but if it's subscriber numbers I would take that with a grain of salt.

I am a Comcast subscriber, and like many Comcast subscribers I'm sure, I have one of their boxes in my house, with the most basic Cable TV package, because if I don't take it my cost goes up (I mean the overall price of the monthly billed amount from Comcast/Xfinity).

We get crappy quality SD letterbox channels including some local OTA channels that we can watch Jeopardy on, at lower quality than OTA whenever the antenna isn't doing the job.

Oh, and HBO/On-Demand is also included. That includes HBO Go (but not HBO Now.) I don't use either HBO service and I don't know how they are different, at the risk of adding anecdata to an otherwise solid argument...

Whether or not any of this works out to be a favorable deal for HBO, I can't say, but I hope this explains why I would say to take their digital subscriber numbers with a grain of salt. (On the other hand, I will actually pay for Showtime standalone when they have put out a new season of Homeland.)

You don't need to have any sort of major contributions. It does help to have some small patch or patches in, that show that a) you enjoy working with the community with all its quirks b) that you are successful. IIRC the patch that got me my first job offers to work on PostgreSQL was a day's work or such.

I've used it extensively, and their implementation is also pretty buggy, especially related to example data. It's much better than most though, I agree.
> Much easier to make compatible with modern settings, much easier for new and casual players to get into, much easier to maintain,

I'm not sure that's true. Implementing classic wow in the modern client sounds like a straightforward data migration that will have some hiccups.

The Diablo 2 code is probably a visual studio 5 project built in direct x 5, they'd have to port all that to something modern. Their server code would need to support their current login system, and is probably not even going to build on a current is without changes.

On top of that Diablo 2 players aren't expecting a monthly charge.

I don't think the money is there.
"Want" disambiguates to plural subject, so it can only be "Comcast and Disney want Fox".
I worked for different companies including top companies. There's no such things as "meaningful" work when it comes to a project within a company (the size doesn't matter). A project is project and has a budget, as a deadline, involves expensive resources, several layers of management (at least one layer) looking for status updates, etc.

My best advice for you is to look for creativity outside of your work environment. Or, to signup for a PhD. Creativity requires no boundaries and your work environment has tones of boundaries. Does it make sense? Don't waste your time... pick up a job that requires not too much energy, maximize your income if you can, then use your free time to build things that matter to YOU.
