> Don't forget the part where they now show you tweets that people you follow have liked, just the same as if they had retweeted them.

I rarely use twitter but the first time I saw these "person X liked this" I just looked up how to not get that. Turns out it's pretty simple, you just click on that tweet menu and select "I don't like this tweet", repeat for maybe one or two other tweets on your timeline, and then refresh your feed and they're all gone. People mentioned it can come back after a couple months, you'd notice quickly as your feed quality would suck, you just redo the same.

The only one I see now are "person X and Y liked Z tweet" but in that case I follow X, Y, and Z, so it's usually relevant.
This account had been my oldest digital property, which I had been using for probably over 10 years now. I haven't been using it any differently than before, so now I am left absolutely clueless with a sizeable digital property of mine being lost. I could have kept a copy of everything and not got all-in to the OneDrive with the On-Demand feature, but I don't know what I could have done to not lose 3.5 out of 4 years of pre-paid (required) Office 365 University service, because Microsoft simply does not tell.
XML namespaces do offer some nice possibilities. But the lack of official JSON namespaces doesn't prevent you from doing something like:

{
"built_in": "value",
"org.example.my_extension": "value"
}

If you want to validate it, you might need to jump through some JSON schema hoops, of course.
That's a real gem!

I also started out on the Apple ][, writing my own versions of the games I saw in the arcades (donkey kong, pacman, joust, etc).

My kids are old enough to be curious about how games are actually built, and we've had fun building an adventure game in basic, and a version of asteroids in C. We had planned to build something this summer, so this book of yours is an ideal next step which we can work through. I think they'll really get a kick out of seeing how it all goes together. (okay, okay, I admit it. Nostalgia hit me hard and I just want an excuse to fire up my old Apple ][ again.) Regardless, I just hit "order" on Amazon.

I can afford a $30 yellow cab fare once in a while, but it cannot be the de facto option day to day. The same with congestion pricing -- great...if you're wealthy.

I don’t think so. Building software is a creative process that benefits from team diversity in multiple aspects. You need both young and older people. I’m 54 and still going strong. :-)

Also, not every ‘new’ development is as new as it appears; “Old is the New New”.

I think the subscription model for theatres makes a lot of sense for all involved. Getting more people to the theatres (where they buy other stuff) and creating larger audiences who didn't previously visit theatres. The pricing and terms of MoviePass are unsustainable, but I think there will be more subscriptions for theatres that are tried.

> Unlike petroleum, batteries are almost 100% recyclable.

Not using current technology. You can't recycle lithium (for example) using smelting. It's also not very profitable.

It's still very much an unsolved problem.

I would love to be proved wrong!

Edit: I don't know why this is being downvoted. Using current recycling methods, the lithium is not recyclable (the cobalt is). I then asked if I am not correct, to please correct me.

So if not recycled, what's currently happening to lithium batteries in all our electronics and car batteries (etc)? Is it just handled as hazardous waste?

> software companies shouldn't be quick to kill an old product or let it die just because they have a newer one that they think is better

OMG, so very much this!

The problem is that there was a very brief period of time in the early days of the development of the computer (by which I mean like 1975-1995 or so) when just about everything new was an improvement. That implanted the idea in people's heads that NEW==GOOD because it was (mostly) true for about 20 years. But nowadays technology has matured and it is no longer invariably true. I have a five-year-old MacBook pro running Mavericks that I much prefer to anything on the market today.

And then from there, they work backwards on how that would be engineered.

Or was it, he had some fascination with rotors and thought of a really big version of some similar, smaller version he had thought of before.

That’s not really a counterargument to what the OP said. Most likely Internet usage is also lower in lower-income, less educated demographics, and the Internet and other media content that is consumed is of lower quality (tabloids, Fox News, etc.) It’s almost tautological that less well educated are, well, less well educated. And low-income-but-employed people often can’t afford to spend time consuming quality media, free or not, because leisure time itself is a luxury. There are a bunch of deep-rooted systemic problems here that the ”tech will solve everything” people conveniently ignore.
If I am a traditional 'tech' company - I can afford to lose money when I am investing it in my platform or technology. It's like borrowing money to invest in your assets.

For MoviePass, they are losing money and passing it off to theaters - it's like borrowing money to buy more ingredients for a failing restaurant. You can't charge less than the marginal cost, it doesn't make sense!

I am trying to wrap my head around what MoviePass is trying to do - especially given the number of friends I have who say they would easily be willing to pay 2x or 3x for the service. The data they are gathering cannot be more valuable than the cost of a movie ticket.

I have to imagine they were making a play at building up a huge enough audience to strongarm theaters into lowering their rates. Well the joke is on them - everyone knows that they have no bargaining power. Plus, signing up was so hard, their audience is skewed towards power users and people persistent in their cheapness.

An emergency loan with no change to the service whatsoever? They are really having a deer in the headlights moment.

I don’t think it’s just that they contracted subtitles and dubbing to different teams. The requirements are different.

This is particularly true in Japanese, the space constraints on speech and normal modes of expression are very different.

The original English, literal meaning of the Japanese audio, and Japanese subtitles all differ significantly.

Comparing the English subtitles and Japanese doesn’t work very well for language study. Mostly you just have to look each Japanese word you don’t know up in a dictionary...

>People didn't die of boredom before. Read a book, magazine, work on something on your laptop if you must. Also people seem to lose the ability to just take a short timeout from everything, just to think about your life for a bit, remember some good old times with friends or family you might have lost, and so on.

I actually agree with you totally here, but a counterpoint would be that I can get mundane stuff done while doing mundane stuff (riding a bus, taxi, etc.) so that when I get home I get more family time instead of "not now, I have to see why Comcast/Verizon/Etc. screwed up our bill again."
> I think the big problem is usually that people expect a perfect replacement for MS Office.

Nobody owes it to LibreOffice to use it when a superior alternative exists. DOC support is minutiae - there are certainly people who do use it, but intentionally switching away from the default (DOCX) while Office moans at you about reduced functionality seems like a huge degree of dedication to a file format. Two huge reasons why LibreOffice is currently not good enough for me:

* The UI is functional and tolerable. It's not pleasant to stare at all day. Menus, toolbars and floating windows are fine if you hail from the 90s. Mozilla are a shining example to other OSS projects of what users expect in 2018[1]. Make it work, make it right, make it fast. OSS needs to learn that there is another step: make it beautiful. And they like the UI. Do they love it?

* Advanced integration with Dropbox or what-have-you. Microsoft has Sharepoint. So far as I know, Office is the only thick-client suite to offer collaborative editing on top of file sharing. When you have dozens of users collaborating on a project this stuff is incredibly important. Email is not scalable - your users shouldn't be opening a DOC from an attachment in the first place.

There are 13000 reasons why Lower Saxony is switching away from OSS. Dismissing what the competition offers is dismissing those 13000 reasons and means that a project will never address those reasons.

Good enough is not good enough.

I used to go to Bellevue Library every single weekend because my wife used to work around there. Just being able to randomly fall upon an old book was great. The atmosphere, a sense of community, a nice park besides. A library is a lot more than a collection of books.

I'm so damn glad King county does a good job maintaining the community libraries.
Not that it excuses the stigma associated with having the disease. But, global statistics are very different than from those in the western democracies where "the media" and much of their audience resides. In the US the majority of HIV patients are the MSM (men who have sex with men) category [0]. With most of the remaining being either women who have sex with those men or IV drug users.

The buyer who could afford a 2002 CRV in 2002 is more likely to be the kind of buyer who trades it in in 2008 for the updated body style (and every trade in is an opportunity for the car to be sold overseas).

There's plenty of CRVs and SantaFes on the road but the present market share of the 2002 SantaFe has increased relative to the market share of 2002 CRVs when compared to what the situation was in 2005 or so.

We're obviously talking at a statistical, not individual level here. Of course not only wealthy people buy Hondas, just more wealthy people buy Hondas than Kias and wealthy people are more likely to trade in their old car at a dealer which makes it more likely to wind up overseas (if it's got too many miles to easily resell in the US).

The science here is pretty clear that remote workers outperform open office workers. With the exception of winner-take-all monopolies and associated "weird" aspects of how they operate, it seems like a services business is much, much better off allowing remote workers from anywhere in a similar timezone / language than they are having an office.
Maybe hoping to make their money back when people let their subscriptions idle during the off season for movies...but this is most attractive avid movie goers so I don't see this working. People who don't go to movies all the time likely won't get it.
Yeah, they were hoping to sell user data, get partnerships with theaters or even businesses around. They even tried getting deals with specific movies. But yeah the whole SV strategy is disruption. Look at Uber for example.
They already do strongarm some smaller theaters into getting a cut of concessions.

Reading the Twitter Rules or TOS whatever it was I read is bizarre, if I remember correctly from what I recall Twitter had these conditions:

You can't get too many followers in too short of a time or you're considered a bot. If you are not active enough you're a bot. If you speak ill of Twitter well that's a an account suspension.

My lowly account of a few people I know was locked once no explanation but the bot accounts manage seem to just fine.
Yeah, I think discussions like this one tend to focus on price, which is certainly one of the benefits Uber and Lyft bring to the table, but certainly not the only one.

I typically travel for business, so I don't care about the price so much. Uber/Lyft are great because they provide a much better experience.

I hate cabs because of all the friction: rude drivers imposing their personal preferences upon me, often illegally.

The biggest improvement Uber introduced is accountability for drivers. Efficiency improved too, and reduced the price. But if you look at the comments here and in TFA, a lot of them are about service quality. Most of the worst offenses, like refusing to accept credit cards, are illegal. But the city has done a terrible job of enforcing it, so cab service has been terrible for decades.

Then came Uber and Lyft and finally brought service that people love. So the city tries to take them down. Just like SF is harassing successful companies with bizarre new rules and regulations, such as banning cafeterias.
Perhaps a poor choice of words, but I think the GP means the super rich have a moral duty they are shirking. One of the arguments against progressive taxation is that government spending is ineffectual, but if the super rich don't take up philanthropic spending in a serious way then that argument is undermined.
> I'll fight a war over libraries, no joke.

No kidding. One of the best(worst) ways wars were waged in the past were to burn the libraries. Without knowledge, a civilization quickly suffocates.

Cheapness isn’t a measure of importance though. Air is cheap. Water is cheap. That doesn’t mean it’s ok to squander and pollute cheap but essential and very expensive to renew resources until they are not cheap anymore.

Water and soil in particular are very important resources to protect, far beyond their price in economic terms. They are vital strategic assets because so much of our economy and ecology depend on them.
> The internet, at least intermittently and slowly -which is enough for books, is more accessible than public libraries.

No. The internet almost always costs the individual money to access, unlike public libraries. That means the internet is less accessible to low income people.

Also public libraries have evolved into one of the main ways that many people access the internet. It's foolish to advocate replacing public libraries with something that the public libraries actually provide for many of their patrons.

Thanks for this. It's very informative, even though it's not the packet-level analysis I was initially looking for.

>However, we observed that QUIC performs significantly worse than TCP when the network reorders packets (Figure 2).

>Upon investigating the QUIC code, we found that in the presence of packet reordering, QUIC falsely infers that packets have been lost, while TCP detects packet reordering and increases its NACK threshold.

Under what conditions does packet ordering usually occur?

From the looks of the figures, it seems like packet-reordering is a function of the x-axis value (rate-limit of some sort?).

English word choice is confusing here because voice can be "the style of speech/writing".

By changing [style of] their speech I mean the frequency, timbre, intonations, accent, nasality, etc., and NOT words, or content (which obviously can also be changed).

There are often key elements that match based on morphology of the vocal apparatus, but if I speak like a toff with a cold vs. a barrel-chested Nor'n Irelander there's little ID left.

Good mimics, those who have radio/TV shows for example, can if they choose leave nothing for a normal listener to distinguish their speech from that of the subject of their mimicry. Impressionists tend to charicateur their subjects somewhat, however.

In UK it used to be relatively common to have a "telephone choice" that would sometimes confuse even close acquaintances in to thinking you were someone else.

Another common example is when taking different languages one has a different voice.

Absolutely but once you're in the situation where you are securing high risk debt financing you're employees should already reset the future value of their stock to $0. While I don't know if it is a hard and fast rule, it has been true in my experience over the last 30 years in the bay area that when a company is doing this sort of move to survive it has never left any value in the common stock.
