I don't pirate TV or movies because nothing's really worth the effort to bother watching any more. I like to pay for music because I buy it usually directly from the people that make it or some service where they directly receive profit from it.
That's no reason not to report it either as a bug or file as an enhancement request.
Netflix is a positive force driving technology to delight its customers. It has breathed life into new product lines such as apple tv and roku and paved the way for others to use the subscription streaming model by example. The open and free media is great as its own idea and proper application but why conflate the two?
The non-Touch Bar MacBook Pro is £1249 vs the Air’s £949. That’s a big difference for a lot of people. People like my partner, who doesn’t care that it’s essentially 4-5 year old hardware with minor revisions.

I would never buy an Air myself because that screen is pure trash, but she genuinely doesn’t care.
It looks like a solution to a very rare case - using eval on user input (who does that?). It doesn't protect you from more popular SQL injections, XSS, XSRF vulns etc.

The better use would be obfucation of code to lock client to your services.

Meh. I see their point. Subpixel AA was about using software to simulate better hardware. But, at the end of the day you really do want the better hardware so that you can use your software budget to simulate an even better generation of hardware. Repeat ad-infinitum, modulo scaling limits.

Pretty sure this is what Alan Kay means when he says that people who are serious about software will make their own hardware.
I get the slippery slope we're going down here, I don't have any actual solution. A possible suggestion would be something like a crowdsourced based on how many times an account gets reported in a non brigading way.
Same here. Docker is a collection of anti-patterns while LXC is pretty lean and we use it in production for long time withou issues.
> That sounds like an example for someone you don’t actually know very well.

Not if the reason is you or something you are related too / feel strongly about.

Sometimes people aren’t ready / comfortable to talk about things, even when you’ve been in a relationship for years. Giving them permission to avoid it avoids a point of contention whih could lead to yours and their frustration.

If you want to "upgrade" the old server-client model (request-response) to a realtime instant bidirectional information flow (dialogue communication), you surely want to look at protocols such as XMPP.

Do you mind linking to the research you're thinking about?
Can you give examples as to why it’s better vs Docker?
I can't substantiate my comment with academic sources, but here's my memory from the past decade: the people designing interface guidelines for mobile operating systems decided that carefully designing static visual assets for UIs was a waste of time (with similar technical complexity reasonings due to the number of different display resolutions/pixels per inch/aspect ratios)

Market context: Microsoft yearned to implement the Metro UI they'd been researching for a long time (Zune was its public appearance) — and Vista kind of soured people on Aero by osmosis; third-party Android applications always had consistency issues, so Google wanted to mandate something that would be generic enough to work (and be easily implemented) for all apps but also look distinctly specific to Android; Apple wanted to signal some shift to upscale high fashion (parallel to "everything is black glossy glass and aluminum" in its industrial design) and understood fashion-minded upscale as a mix of modernist typography with neon bright contemporary color schemes.

To make up for the boring visual aesthetic that often resulted, they recommended adding animations throughout apps. Most of these animations aren't very helpful, but they keep the user distracted for a moment.
I know this is going to sound crazy, but you could buy DVDs and BluRays. that is a viable alternative.

It's still DRMed obviously, so RMS will hate it. And since you own it (not rent it) it costs more than Netflix.

But it solves about half of the problems he mentioned -- you don't have to agree to an EULA, you still have the right to resell your discs later, and you can mode shift and/or back up your collection (rip it to a server, stream it over a VPN, whatever).
For more on Facebook's art focus, see their Little Red Book (2012) given to every employee:

http://www.businessinsider.com/inside-facebooks-little-red-b...

At Stanford, Professor Fred Turner has written a critique of Facebook's art culture (both the Analog Research Laboratory and the Artist in Residence Program), putting Facebook in the context of art programs that came before. Excerpt:

"First, the Lab’s posters have linked calls for labor to calls for self-transformation. In the industrial era, a motto like “STAY FOCUSED AND KEEP SHIPPING” would represent a straightforward professional exhortation: DO YOUR JOB. But set in the same type as a poster reading “WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WEREN’T AFRAID?” and placed in the same sorts of locations, the corporate slogan can become an answer to a request for self-discovery."

Netflix is a surveillance system: it demands customers identify themselves to pay, and thus records what each person watches. Protect your privacy — reject Netflix!

He's complaining that you have to pay for content? Where is the money going to come from to pay people to produce it? Is everyone suppose to work voluntarily?

{DRM tirade}

The usual argument against DRM is that you are buying content that you can't use as you please, with Netflix, you are explicitly not paying for ownership you are paying for access. Would anyone complain that you can't stay in a hotel as long as you want when you only paid for 3 days?

{Netflix doesn't let you use what you bought}

You haven't bought Netflix content, you rented it. I can't go out and sell a leased car.

Educators speak the mission of "socialization" of children, meaning teaching them to be good, cooperating members of their community. That includes being willing in general to give things to others

So if he thinks other people should give away their work. Will he come over and cut my grass for free?

Netflix is parlaying its control of users (obtained through the wrongs stated above) into a grab for control over video entertainment.
Every time you hear that some video is produced specifically by Netflix, it is be appropriate to feel a wave of disgust and resentment. Those feelings will help you refuse to watch it — refuse to feed the monster.

Netflix produces content I want to see, I give them money. They pay people to produce content. It seems like a fair exchange and a much less crummy business model than most internet based businesses like Google and Facebook.
Why would people abandon unique styles just because it gets easier to implement a realistic one? An artist's goal isn't just to make something that doesn't look like crap; it's to make something that expresses a certain feeling. Stylism isn't just a band-aid for lack of realism.
Thanks for the improved comparison.

You can buy pasture-raised / grass-fed ground beef from Australia, and US-raised ground bison, in US supermarkets for $9-10 per pound, so no, it wouldn't.
Even for cheap corn- and soy-fed CAFO-raised meat, agricultural subsidies lower the cost by a negligeable fraction.
Again, you exclude large parts of the web if you require something like XMPP. It totally makes sense to look into such things where it's viable, and you can bridge them with WebSub, but that was not in scope for pubsubhubbub (and WebSub is intentionally only pubsubhubbub with minor clarifications and cleanup).

Pubsubhubbub was a (relative) success because everyone doing RSS feeds could easily add it with their existing tech stack.
given how many camera's are around I wouldn't be surprised if they tracked you down fairly quickly.
In general asymptotic analyses (including the well-known O(n log n) bound for comparison based sort) assume a model where operations like compare, swap, arithmetics, etc. are constant-time. So they only work for bounded integers, practically speaking.

If you want to know for the general case, you need to adapt your machine model and redo the analysis. Operations will likely be not constant-time but something like log(x) where x is the size of the integer at hand. But of course, that's up to you and what you want to do and how you build your machine.
> It’s less “the code for this is a mess”, and more “the code for this can’t be anything but a mess”.

Ok. But so what? As a customer that's not my problem, and Apple has a HUGE war chest to pay developers to maintain the mess. I have nothing but 1x displays externally and this makes Mojave a non-starter.
People do in fact do safety comparisons. Malaysia Airlines lost a lot of passengers after it lost two planes.
ethics and time constraints. whistleblowing and radical transparency aren't the same thing; every whistleblower has a different reason for doing so and spreading all available information is just one possible desired outcome.

one of the reasons snowden sent his information to journalists was to remove his own biases from the process -- he wanted journalists to help go through it all, determine what was in the public interest, what could be unnecessarily damaging, etc. he wouldn't have had time to do that himself before being caught.

this is in stark contrast to documents found on wikileaks for example that contain social security numbers and other sensitive information completely unrelated to the thing the whistle is being blown on.
So what's that alternate reality? That Netflix allows everyone to copy all of thier content for free?

> But Twitter’s increased suspensions also throw into question its estimate that fewer than 5 percent of its active users are fake or involved in spam, and that fewer than 8.5 percent use automation tools that characterize the accounts as bots.

Wish they reported this as a percentage of total user base.

For comparison, in Nov 2017, FB estimated[1] 60 million accounts, but by May 2018 [2] had disabled 1.3 billion fake accounts.

The real question - do these numbers reflect a reality that was always underneath as they enjoyed rapid growth, or is this indicative of greater efforts to use social media platforms nefariously?

1. No, he wants a cash payment option.
2. DRM sets up blockades for things you are legally allowed to do. Your analogy is a strawman.

Apple has a $200B war chest. If they can't afford to deal with this problem and instead choose to make my experience worse that says something about their priorities as a company.

It's explicitly presented as experimental software, personally I'd put more trust in Tor browser.
Fairly similar to what the web was before commercial interests injected megabytes of crap into every website: Mostly collections of personal websites run by private people talking about stuff they're interested in without expecting anything in return.
I pay for Netflix and still pirate many of their shows just because download to watch does not support high quality video.
It’s also at least on the iPad more battery efficient to play it via VLC than the Netflix app and I don’t need to worry about oh you haven’t been online for 48 hours please connect.
> Actually Apple is definitely big enough to force change—they've done it multiple times in the past.

In many cases it's arguable whether Apple forced a change or it was a case of Apple "skating where the puck is going" and doing something that was inevitably going to happen given time.
You hate the business model of selling goods in exchange for money?
If this was hard for apple imagine how much work it was for Microsoft with their complete lack of control over monitor displays. But they pulled it off.
This is about so much more than software...
All contracts set up what you are allowed and not allowed to do, DRM is just a way to enforce the contract in this analogy the DRM is the police.
However the OP is right if you stay in a hotel and wreck the place or don’t want to leave they’ll call security or the police and they’ll kick you out and that’s their DRM.

If anything the DRM argument itself is a straw man and a fallacy unless you are willing to forgo property rights all together.

1. How are people going to send cash to Netflix? If you really don't want to be tracked, you can use cash to buy a prepaid debit card and then use that to pay for Netflix.

2. What are you legally allowed to do with content you "rented" and not bought? You don't have unlimited rights to a car you lease or an apartment you rent either.
Sure. My company is focussing on communities that revolve around discussion and learning (mostly targeting teens and young adults). Some features we are working on are specific tools like a whiteboard that helps you quickly draw something to better explain. Or a library of common definitions (e.g., formulas for math, definitions for CS) that take the friction out of helping others. Furthermore, with our target group gamification and providing incentives to a meaningful discussion is important, so we're working on avatars and points that you can collect and use.

More general communities could use features such as:

- Monetization directly in the software vs. sending users to a signup and payment form (better UX, higher conversion rate)

- Discoverability (e.g., a search function similar to Reddit)

- Better onboarding for communities: For some communities, it makes sense not to be public, but to require a short application (for whatever reason) - currently community creators much build a separate website and send users there, etc. This would be much better if it existed natively.

- More focus on conversations/discussions instead of productivity tools

Just to mention a few. Of course, for Slack and Discord, it doesn't make sense to implement these features because it would dilute the whole product.

"Yet the experience of towns like Ames and Des Moines show that such “labor shortages” might be due to insufficient wages and crummy working conditions — not an unwillingness of workers to switch industries or improve their skills for a job. The trucking industry is instructive here: Trade groups have argued that it is facing a shortfall of 51,000 workers, yet businesses have not yet shown much willingness to cut hours, boost pay, and improve conditions to lure workers in. Indeed, across the economy, companies have shown a remarkable unwillingness to boost wages, with growth barely keeping pace with inflation even as the unemployment rate has dropped to 4 percent"

>The appraisal is often spot on the offer you got for your house, because the appraiser clearly knows the number they need to hit for the loan to go through.

You're talking about the appraiser hired by the lending bank (at your expenses). Their job is not so much "blindly come up with an independent valuation", their job is more to justify the selling price already agreed upon to the lending bank. It also makes sense to take into consideration a price both interested parties already agreed upon - that's important information when trying to determine what something is "worth."
What makes this military grade?

The Ghash double spend was a pretty big deal, and instigated a big campaign by miners to switch away from the Ghash pool. So it was costly for the pool, and it was probably not happy about its employee executing it.

Any player that directly owns 51% of the hash power, rather than just pooling, would similarly be economically incentivized to avoid such double spends, as they provide very little payout, while undermining confidence in the protoocl.
"There's some genuine gold in Netflix's library, if you go looking."

As an early adopter of the DVD program, my biggest hangup was the weighted catalogue that required me to click through many screens of often repeated listings(crap titles Netflix wanted me to watch more than I wanted to watch) & I was never certain I had perused all titles. Without an A to Z listing, it is obfuscating my options. I don't care for tailored shit that pushes others' weighted options.

So, I also really like it from a "cool statistics reference" point of view. However, I don't think it is informative, unique or google-able, and discoverability is pretty important imho.
I see it too, but am honestly quite sceptical it'll get there in time. Development is just plain slow, which isn't surprising with the comparatively low number of devs. It feels half the man power is "wasted" on just keeping up with new hardware. By the time haiku is done, i fear desktop pcs and laptops will be extinct. I liked beos so I was really thrilled when openbeos popped up. I download the latest haiku build every other year or so, but it just feels they are all the same.
"Going back to California’s high tax burden, Varner’s new research backs up the old adage that when you tax something you get less of it. That applies whether the thing being taxed is cigarettes, booze, or, in California’s case, millionaires. "

I would say this is fake logic.
No-one is going to stop trying to be a millionaire because of taxes.

Though they may try to move to a another state to avoid them.

That just highlights that the tax system needs to be less fragmented and "service oriented". Individual states may charge taxes based on the services they provide, but taxation at large should be about balancing the wealth distribution.
It is a criticism of capitalism.

However, most of Stallman's post is, while accurate, a complaint of how we are being charged minimally by Netflix for a minimal access to media. If we could pay by cash in the post, on a player that didn't protect from ripping then it would cost more.
I'm assuming similar use cases to things like Proguard. If you need to provide your client with C code because they need to compile for a large range of architectures but they're not allowed to see the source code. It's a very unusual circumstance but it does happen.
