A reverse stock split on Wednesday of the owning company of Movie pass at a ratio of 250 to 1, in other words on Tuesday you would have had 1000 shares and then on Wednesday it was all converted to 4 shares.

However, at 9cents per share, assuming you had 250 share the value of your share would be $22.50.... after this reverse split the value fell to $14 a share or using the pre-split price it went from 9cents to 5.6 cents per share on Wed. On Thursday it went from $14 to $6.83. Today (Friday)the stock opened at $6. At 10:30am on Friday it is now $3.47 a share. It is on an express elevator to the basement. They are currently trading at $2.88....now at the close on Friday it is $2 a share or worth 0.8cents a share.

To make this even more of a train wreck, at the special investor meeting this week the investors authorized the company to take two actions, 1.) to do the reverse stock split between 2:1 to 250:1 and 2.) to issue more shares for sale. Currently HMNY has 500 million outstanding shares. The company is now authorized to issue 5 BILLION more shares....talk about share dilution. I doubt they will survive much beyond next week when their short term financing they got last night is due to be paid.

If you're paying $10 a month, you normally see 1 movie per month, and you're thinking of the monthly fee as paying for that one movie, any additional movies you see are effectively free.

Hi, Ernst! Sorry I never heard back from you. Have you had a chance to read any more Eric S Raymond quotes? Don't you agree that his book is factually incorrect? Are you still mad at me for exposing him as the racist gun nut whack job that he really is, by quoting and linking to his own words and his death threat to Bruce Perens -- was that unfair? Drop me an email! ;)
Kubernetes vs. Chaos
My account got suspended and kicked me off a month ago by simply accessing the forwarding section of my Microsoft account. Tried it on another account and same thing. To this day i am confused about that, and how some of these big companies with the toughest entry requirements make the dumbest crap.
Death threats? Sorry to hear that. The project looks awesome!

European languages won’t die just because English is around, there are millions of people in Europe that don’t interact on a national or international scale, and are quite happy to continue with their language as it stands, that won’t change for a long time.

I think your project is a really great idea! Code often doesn’t translate well when variable and object names are poorly suggested due to translation issues, and there must be billions of lines of code that are limited to specific languages, which are locked out to non-speakers. Can I suggest you focus more on the language benefits on the home page? Did you think about applying this technique as a transpiler to an existing programming language instead of a new language?
I think the idea is to realize if you have data on Apple, is it also synced and available offline on your computer?

I have all my photos on iCloud. But they are also in the Photos library with full resolution on my computer. If apples locks my account, I don’t lose my photos.

Same thing with Dropbox. Synced but still available on my computer.

Same with Gmail. Synced with Mail on Mac. Downloaded regularly.

I simply try to make sure my data is always on my computer and migratable. Not the application itself.
Why You Should Use a Framework
I was thinking of all of the files in proprietary, and particularly binary, formats. Maybe some users know that even those files can be opened by multiple applications, when that's even true, but I suspect even more users don't even realize that almost all of their data is stored in a file somewhere, let alone where that file is in the filesystem and in what format it's stored.

Given the ubiquity of Word document and Powerpoint presentation files and the like, most users I'll grant you are aware of the files themselves, and the fact that they can be attached to an email. I'll even grant that a large fraction of those same users could answer 'yes' to the question 'Could these files be opened by another application?'. But almost none would be capable of doing anything with those files without an application that handles everything for them.

I don't dispute tho that an awareness of, let alone existence of, files in a filesystem is a significant benefit and not having access to them is a (relatively) significant loss.
Why would a title mention API/service configuration? This is not common practice, even in academic applied ML papers.

They used the default settings, and a training set which seems extremely likely to be used in ‘LEA-production’

Any user, including LEAs, is free to use which ever configuration options they like.

The criticism with the most statistical implications is the confidence level used. The ACLU were clear they they used the defaults. I can take at face value that moving from 80% to 99% confidence on a sample of 500 faces could produce 0 false positives. However, on the faces of the tens/hundreds of thousands of people that might move through the center of town on any given day, the implications for causing ordinary people serious harm are large.

I am personally shocked that Amazon are willing to “recommend” law enforcement actions at any level of confidence, from an unintrospectable machine learning system.

That's why though/thought/through are pronounced the same way. And similarly for height/weight

That's why the plural of feet are feets or the plural of child is childs, right? Oh wait...

That's why a kid cat is a catty, a kid dog is a doggy and a kid swan is a swanny. Right?

And why the past of get is begotten and the past of can is canned.

Hmmm it'd be interesting to know who the people on these boards are affiliated with

Especially the last two...
True, I think that maybe Uber found the fine line (could be pure luck) between creating enough buzz right before running out of cash (several times) and simply going bankrupt.
Both Chinese and English are interesting and relatively unique in how lossy they can be and still convey information. And I think that's a significant benefit in being a lingua franca.

And chinese can be learned - see any trader in a nation on the Chinese border. Tonality isn't that bad, actually - especially when the language isn't unintelligible when the tones are wrong - same as how English isn't unintelligable when vowels are wrong (unlike Japanese for example).

Written Chinese is, however, a big stumbling block to its universality. Though, given how rarely I even write English without a computer aiding me, that distinction is becoming less meaningful.

I've come to see most everyone knows three languages: that of their parents, that of their state, and English. The advantages of having those three be the same are significant.
It is literally my job to make documentation a priority. We're on the same team here :) I spent the last 18 months throwing out an entire book I wrote to write a new one that’s oriented around how real users learn the language in real life. We’ve invested a lot.

(Some editors do have inline doc showing support; we don't have terminal doc access but we do have local html doc access)
Google has never charged a cent in royalities. They give away much of their IP through papers in the past and now actual software.

Which is what we should hope for and makes zero sense to then penalize Google for simply providing a better product.

Heck Google gave Amazon Android to build the Echo and Dot and show and fire, etc. Amazon even turned around and banned competing Google products from their marrket place.
Well, I disagree that capitalism doesn't work, but I can agree that it doesn't always work. Like in many other things, balance is key.
I finally threw away my Proxim Wireless Networks Orinoco Gold 802.11b/g PCMCIA card I'd picked up in the mid-2000s just last week.

It had an Atheros chipset and was useful for wireless sniffing, WEP cracking, and about everything else.

I did, however, realize I haven't owned anything with a PCMCIA slot to put it into for more than a decade.
Ya, I've been following all this drama since the vgo proposal and I also find it somewhat rich. I mean in a way didn't the `dep` folks do exactly the same thing to the `glide` and other existing solutions? At some point you just have to say, hey, you've done good work but I think another approach is better. They did that to glide and Russ did that to them.

Note also that he doesn't dispute that Russ tried to bring them into the fold with his concerns and direction but they rejected his arguments. That's a fight they should have known they were going to lose.

Maintainers / BDFLs get the final say, that's just how it is. Just because there is a large community does not mean they get the final say, just because you put in a lot of work does not mean you get the final say. The reason BDFLs are in the position of making that decision is because they have proven through the accumulation of their previous decisions that they get it right more than they get it wrong. And that's the very reason there is a community around them at all.

If you walk into ANY project, public or private, open sourced or closed, and ignore the lead's objections when you go off in a direction they don't agree with, then yes, you are very likely in for some wasted work. That's just how the world works.

On another note I hope this is the last we hear about all this, please lets move on.
I can recommend the book „Compilers: Principles, Techniques and Tools“ [often called „Dragon Book“]. It explains from the basics with all the theory how to write a Leser, parser and much more features. It is one of the few books I bought after university.

Rust macros are almost nothing like C or C++ macros; they operate on an AST, not on the literal text.
Nokia is an independent Finnish company. Mobile phones under the label "Nokia" are made by HMD Global, also a Finnish company, which bought some of the remnants of Microsofts smartphone branch, which had previously bought Nokia's smartphone branch.
Not looking to continue that argument here, but I think that was about tjc's take on the fate of rustpkg.
Television, movies, and game trailers all contain content warnings before airing. Personally I ignore most of them, partially because they usually don't affect me, and because Hollywood and such are pretty good about targeting their trailers (e.g., showing slasher trailers only before a slasher movie and not in front of the latest PG Pixar film)
Outside of search, you should ask why are they winning? Better products don't necessarily have better user numbers due to how much network effects play into a lot of googles products. There's no doubt in my mind that google has been able to leverage their search and advertising businesses, not only as products themselves, but also their knowledge in the space, to push users to, and keep their eyes on said products.

If apple and google traded maps products, it's very likely that web and android users would still largely use the google one more often than apple maps is being used now since they have more power to guide you into using the product. The same applies to them advertising chrome when you open up another browser to google.com.
I agree that Google has a large control over the search market (and others), but it does not need to be regulated as a utility. Largely because you can just... switch. Really easily in fact.

I've been using DuckDuckGo.com as my primary search engine for the past 3 years and have never looked back. The results are most of the time better (sometimes worse, but so it goes).
When the oven will burn you if used incorrectly, and Amazon gives police departments (who don't know how ovens work) the controls over the oven regardless of their provable technical ability and with no oversight, we should definitely throw away the oven.
Gosh, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope that does not work that way for my daughter. Her UG college library staff recommended Fla State for the MIS which used to be a MLS degree. She hopes to move from local government libraries to academic in the next several years.

I hope you find the employment you are looking for. And I hope she does as well.

In the beginning Tim created The Protocol and The Web.

And The Web was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of The Protocol. And the NCSA moved upon the face of the code.

And Andreessen said "Let there be a GUI" and there was a graphical browser.

And Filo and Yang saw this graphical browser and created order from chaos...
Yeah, it feels like gradually transitioning to English as the primary language would be the one of the best ways to improve the economy in most EU countries (as well as non-EU countries to some extent) since it would dramatically boost skilled immigration, and also make their citizens more educated and make communication with foreigner easier.
I'm not disputing that and I left my MRI machine in my other pants, so we'll have to go on intuition until someone with an MRI decides to investigate.
Modules are still in a beta pre-release kinda state, I think most people would stick to dep even for new projects right now.
Can you delete your account if you wanted to without providing a phone number? On Instagram you can't once it starts asking you.
The English would actually be 'common speech' - the word language is Latin.
It's not complicated. But for some reason everyone misses the obvious. You go after the people responsible for taking these actions, not the "company" itself as an ethereal creation. If someone (or multiple people, as here) are in violation of Title 15, they are committing felonies according to the law. These felonies happen to be punishable by up to 10 years in prison, in addition to steep fines. However, the fines for the people who would be found guilty wont' make a dent so it won't deter them. Which is why you send them to jail. And, BTW, that's 10 years per count. If, for example these people are found guilty of multiple violations, send them to jail for a decade for each violation. Problem solved. No executives would be engaging in this activity anymore. And Title 15 definitely, absolutely supports the prosecution of both companies as entities and the individuals behind it. It also makes the mere attempt to monopolize any aspect of trade or business a felony. You don't even have to succeed - you just need to try to fuck people over. Also, it should be noted that harm does not need to be proved under this law. This was by design because the original architects of these antitrust laws recognized that prices could actually be lower because 1) they can afford to seek lower profit margins due to size/scale or that 2) these large companies can subsidize a business unit with a more profitable one to destroy competitors in the other. This is the tactic Amazon is using. Amazon has small profits margins when you look at the company as a whole. If you look at the retail business, which is what they are most famous for, they have staggering losses every quarter, usually to the tune of 15-20% for that massive business unit. If they didn't have their other business units they would be force to raise product prices and fees substantially just to break even, let alone profit. What Amazon is doing in this regard is supposedly illegal. Like blatantly, black-letter-law illegal - and has been for around 100 years. Yet no one is prosecuting them. That doesn't even touch upon the crap they do with sales taxes and determining nexus. And let's not forget that for anything Amazon sells on its own marketplace they won't face their marketplace fees, which usually are around 15%.

"Every person who shall monopolize, or attempt to monopolize, or combine or conspire with any other person or persons, to monopolize any part of the trade or commerce among the several States, or with foreign nations, shall be deemed guilty of a felony, and, on conviction thereof, shall be punished by fine not exceeding $100,000,000 if a corporation, or, if any other person, $1,000,000, or by imprisonment not exceeding 10 years, or by both said punishments, in the discretion of the court."

And the term "person" includes both companies/entities as well as people.
"The term “person” means a natural person or an organization."

Dental fricatives are somewhat 'poor' sounds generally - they don't have a lot energy, so they tend to be difficult to recover in noisy environments. And note that even in English dialects these dental fricatives have a tendency to shift to other sounds (e.g. to alveolar stops).

While English pronunciation/inventory may be harder than say Spanish or Italian, I think it's pretty middle-of-the-road compared to other languages in terms of size of inventory/difficulty.
> I wanted to give both the anime and the Microsoft Store's video section a try, and did nothing more than just opening the Microsoft Store, finding the content, getting it for free and watching the first episode. My guess is that this might have been the problem.

I agree. It's very likely that, by using a US VPN, you circumvented geo-restriction in the Microsoft Store. You could test that by creating another Microsoft account, under a fake name, using a commercial VPN service with a non-US exit. Then try to get the Dragon Ball Z episode from Microsoft Store. If you need help, feel free to email me.
If you sign up for a mock microsoft account and break the TOS on purpose, will they leave you alone with the notifications? :O

Travel search engines used to be big business. They still are, but they're hurting, and not a small part of it is due to Google having a onebox of flight info. I personally love that onebox - I book all my flights through it - but I'd have a hard time explaining how it's not anticompetitive. Vertical integration can have some great efficiencies, but it can also destroy once healthy markets, and I only see that getting worse with modern supply chain management and similar technologies.
It’s also the lingua franca of tech. There isn’t any way to say “Linux Kernel Networking Subsystem” or “8-Way associative cache” in French or any other language without severe lingual contortions.
They were a lot more expensive until recently though.
I used to wonder why search engine companies care about which engine is the default in a browser because it only takes a few seconds to change it but now I know why. People are lazy :/
Why does it have to be an actual discussion? Why do have people argue about their reasoning of their usage of phones in any way? Like it's your life, do whatever you want!

You can say that in Polish, i.e. title "Pan" (Mr) or "Pani" (Ms) with either first name, last name or both. So I think people from certain cultural/linguistic backgrounds may not find it unnatural.
I'd argue almost no one is having their language and culture taken from them (that was certainly the case in other times in history, but I find it difficult to find one today). There's nothing stopping you from learning another language, or using another language 50-70% of the time.

This is a completely transactional phenomenon. You want to communicate with more people, and be understood in almost any part of the world, and possibly make more money doing just about any job? Speak English.

Also, I notice the web page to your project is written in English, I imagine it was done for mass appeal right? That's kind of the point.

Monopolies are bad because more capital means that you can create a better product?

If beating Google was as simple as needing more money to build a better product, then why couldn't startups just pitch that to investors and raise more funding? Probably because beating Google is harder than throwing money at a random startup's app.

At that rate you might as well outlaw venture capital funds because they disadvantage people trying to bootstrap their own startup.

There are certainly many reasons why monopolies are bad, but having capital is not one of them.
Whats good for consumers isn't whats good for the broader market, we wouldn't see mega billionares with net worths close to that of previous captains of industry if we forced them to allow others to compete (where the only viable way to do so from my perspective is to not let them compete at all). In every other industry you see far less vertical integration due to the history of how companies have been regulated against (i.e. Car and airplane manufacturers are using very few of their own parts).
Regulatory capture, bribes (AKA lobbying), a culture that devalues privacy, a culture that places corporate rights over individual rights, a culture that doesn't like sane limitations on contracts, etc...

So long as Google is an 800B behemoth who invests more than anyone else in lobbying, monetizing customer data (and sucking up massively more data than needed) is going to be legal.
