It wasn't Netflix's streaming that killed Blockbuster, it was their DVD by mail service. Streaming was another nail in the coffin, but Netflix was already stealing Blockbuster customers with DVD's by mail subscriptions -- a much more convenient (and no late fees) way to rent movies.

My last Blockbuster rental was the time I forgot to return a Blockbuster movie before vacation, by the time I returned, the late fees were more than the price of the movie ($30 or $40 iirc). I never went back.
That's why you make the parties fight. Like have the house and the senate controlled by different parties, or the president and the legislature different parties, etc, etc.

There's a reason control usually flip-flops each election, it's the electorate trying to accomplish this. See here: https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2010/sep...
China Is Still Sorting Through Its Bike-Share Graveyards
There's still code review right? And if you're off building something more involved, then hopefully that code review is happening on a weekly basis with at least 2 people reviewing it so that there's input and ideas and corrections happening. It's brutal to see someone waste time on building out unnecessary parts, etc. Plus it's also useful to reduce bus factor, have other people in the loop to pick up the work if necessary.
Let’s see where it goes

A few reflections on the Sonos IPO today
And everyone is to scared to say, "yes you're the big boss, but this idea is still dumb and won't work. Let's at least go on linkedin and try to poach at least one executive from amazon flex."
My anecdote is similar, re healthy competition. It's even less regulated here in Thailand, which is good for competition and consumers, but does lead to messes like this https://www.bangkokpost.com/media/content/dcx/2016/06/30/184... where a dozen or more telecommunication providers each hang their own cabling. The posts actually collapse sometimes due to the weight of the cabling.
That sounds like you were all on different teams, in the sense being used here, and probably shouldn't have all been in the same standup together apart from maybe a once-a-week catchup.
I really like the Blair Witch Project. Maybe it is because I kind of love the style or the low budgetness of it. Maybe it was because it came out when I was first getting online and reading movie sites and so I heard about it (and knew it was not actual found footage) long before it started being advertised. Maybe it was because it was one of the first movies to have all this cross-media stuff like their web site and the special that aired in tv about The Legend of the Blair Witch.

And their short-lived tv show Freaky Links was really ahead of its time (it is basically about a youtuber hunting paranormal stuff but it came out in 2000)
But adding another 12% on upper middle class workers such as myself would create a very large disincentive to work harder.
you're right. they're not significantly expanding. i don't think it was really paying off in any useful way.

The rule change won't necessarily spur more Google Fiber deployment, since the ISP has other financial problems and has largely stopped expansion of fiber into new cities.
The whole fallacy of slopping together a bunch of open source stuff and not bothering to understand any of it is a house of cards waiting to fall down.

It's far better if you have the time and resources to develop your own software from as low a level as possible. Each layer of abstraction that you can shed is an opportunity to tailor your solution more closely to your problem and to have expertise in-house. Big tech companies know this and it's why they do a lot of stuff in-house. The key is in knowing what to develop in-house and what to punt on, and when.
Hardware Security Threat Rising
Or a storage slip.
Right, well of course I could also be wrong. But imho the market can't crash so long as the fed keeps shoving cheap money into the system, which encourages companies to take out huge loans, then buy back their own stocks with the money. Let me ask you this: so you think the trump tax cuts are going to have matching spending cuts? Of course not. So we're going to issue debt to pay for them, which we can only pay the interest on when interest rates are low, which does add a little extra foam to the bubble but will make the downside more painful when rates do have to rise.
It seems to me your comment applies to both sides of the atlantic.
Outliers 60: How AngelList works
They don't selectively retard admission from a particular ethnicity or gender based on a perceived substantive deficiency of people of that ethnicity or gender.

Harvard is systematically penalizing Asians on the grounds that they have lousy personalities. Of course this is almost certainly a scheme to implement affirmative action without publicly admitting to it; whether that makes it better or worse is debatable.
Unfortunately deregulation leads to consolidation which leads to monopolies.
Net neutrality was in place for all of five minutes.

Keeping it or removing it won't do anything to spur connection competition.

There are three options.

1. Technology inflection forces greater competition, such as Starlink or 5G. 1a would be that an extremely deep pocket competitor forces some improvement; that works at least temporarily, however I'm skeptical that's sustainable (as witnessed by Google's pull-back).

2. The government makes smart decisions regulation wise, that help to smooth a path for increased competition. That includes things like one touch make ready, dig once fiber rules, and blocking munis from signing cable/etc monopoly agreements.

3. Nationalize the infrastructure and allow anyone to rent it. That's too far fetched (unrealistic) for the US as a mostly market system, to go that direction from a heavily privatized market. 3a would be, pass a law stipulating that muni broadband can't be impeded, if a city or town wants to set up its own network it's legally entitled to attempt it. Every bit of added competition around the country helps.

Any combination of those is a big assist. The US is a top 15 broadband country currently, and most of the nations in front of it are tiny (except Japan and South Korea, both of which have hyper population concentration in just a few cities). We've made tremendous progress from how far we were lagging behind just six or seven years ago. Keep throwing more of the above onto that momentum, and it will keep the US competitive in that top echelon, which is a great outcome. Any time a country the size of the US (not just eg a state like Massachusetts) can keep up with countries like Denmark, Finland, Switzerland and Sweden on broadband, or any infrastructure frankly, it's a big deal.
The 13% raise means that there's 13% less jobs and the current employees have to work 13% harder. Business owners won't get stuck with that tab, I guarantee it.

Static site built with hugo, hosted on a 5$/month DigitalOcean droplet, using LetsEncrypt for TLS. Been considering some other hosting options that might be cheaper since I barely get any traffic, other than a couple times my posts went viral.

Huge respect to those that can consistently push out content. I have a big list of articles I want to write, but always lose motivation when it comes down to it. Maybe I'm a slow writer, it seems to take me an entire day to write something I'm proud to share.
I wasn’t saying that they are “shitty films” - movies like saw, etc are clearly popular, but don’t have the drama (as in acting, not crazy coworkers) that film reviewers like.

The problem for movies like Get Out and the quiet one (blanking on the name), is that they get placed in the “horror” bucket, which is increasingly dominated by the Saw-style torture porn movies.

I’m not entirely sure that I particularly buy the articles arguments, I think it’s more a reflection of which sub-genre is perceived by the general populace as reflecting the genre as a whole. As with many things the dominant sub-genre changes over time. The author seems to want a specific sub-genre to be regarded as the actual definition of the whole genre rather than allowing the overall perception of what a genre should be to change over time.

For instance the article is talking about the horror genre, and the torture vs suspense sub genres. But we can look elsewhere as well - compare what was considered an “action” movie in the 80s, vs 90s, vs 00s, vs today. We can see as the popularity of different genres ebbs over time. For action movies the sub genres /could/ be meaningful plot vs explosions and everywhere in between. Modern action movies (super heroes) try to have character development, 80s and 90s less so (predator, which might also be considered “horror”).

And I’m rambling incoherently so I’ll be off :)
Universities ?
I'm someone who focuses on UI and loves animated work, and... I can't stand portfolios that try to be _cute_. Some of the example portfolios on the linked URL are examples of things I don't have patience for, and that I really think are objectively not good.

If I'm judging someone's work, I want to see that someone's work, and nothing else. Having an esoteric interface doesn't help.

Most people can create something profoundly artistic and nearly impenetrable when they're doing it for themselves. What you do when you have _someone else's_ goals in mind is what counts.

To me, trying too hard and creating something _too_ artistic normally means the person doesn't have a lot of experience.
In New Zealand all the copper and fibre is owned by a regulated wholesale monopoly, that isn’t legally allowed to sell directly to consumers. ISPs buy access at regulated prices.

Net neutrality, with respect to content, isn’t really an issue, since 99.9% of content is made overseas.

You choose the unit, just keep it at 14 per week. 2 shelves a day for me.
I don’t think Google Fiber is expanding, but it did spur the rest of the ISPs.

AT&T seems to be expanding its gigabit footprint rapidly (https://m.att.com/shopmobile/internet/gigapower/coverage-map...) and not just to most affluent sections of the metro area where I live. Comcast is trying but they are still overpriced compared to AT&T and the upload speeds are abysmal- 35Mbps
I’m not sure I have much interest in rewatching it but it was certainly a film that was notable in part because it brought in all these things that had never really been seen before.

My compiler doesn't allow me to make up spelling in my code, but my friends are fine with me making up alternate spelling when I text them. Not everything is computer code or legal documents.

The names that bureaucrats or real estate agents give to neighborhoods has never mattered to me. Why do you think we have to be beholden to it? My point is that you're free to call your neighborhood whatever you want. I'm sure you're capable of figuring out which name is appropriate to use depending on the context of your conversation.

Fivefilters.org is very good at cherry-picking; they are quite ...selective... with the truth. Take everything they say with a barrel of salt, and keep your eyes peeled for what they leave out.

Philip Cross cannot be said to be an agenda driven editor; people checked all the evidence (One person went so far as to hand-check and score large samples of his edits; a hellish job!). The facts just weren't there to support that assertion.

KalHolmann was ultimately NOT the messenger here, and was also not the person who brought the arbitration case. In fact, when KalHolmann was explicitly invited to help sort things out, they couldn't back out fast enough. What little KalHolmann did do brought more heat than light to the situation.
Totally agree with you, my portfolio is my github. I don't need fancy graphics to show I am a good engineer, just look at the code I wrote.

Oh - to answer the question about return on capital: use the money to convert the power grid to 100% renewables, which might literally save the world in a few decades time. There is more to life than maximizing profits in the short term.
Once when I had a fever, I set my sauna to 40C and read books there. I have no idea whether it helped or not but it was very comfortable - much better than shivering in bed.
The cool thing is that you can introduce these concepts (bijections, etc) without calling them by their overly formal names, and yet maintaining rigor.

E.g.: on a pasture, there are black and white sheep. How can you know, without counting, whether there are more black sheep than white sheep, the other way around, or there's the same number?

Well, start taking them out in pairs, black and white sheep in each pair. If at some point you have a black sheep, but no white one to pair with, you know there at least as many black sheep as there are white ones. Same for the other way around. And if all sheep can come out in pairs like that, you conclude there must be the same number of them!

My wording is not the clearest here, but you can get the idea. The notion of "same size" for sets via putting things side-by-side is something kids can get before they learn numbers.
That's why I fab my own chips!
To get the best performance you typically want to know something about the sparsity structure of your problem. Do most nonzeros fall near the diagonal? Or do they clump into dense submatrices?

If you don't have that information, you can look at how your matrix will be accessed. Do you need fast access to random rows, or columns? Do you need to write new values? Are those values already in the sparsity structure?

All of these questions can lead you to choosing the right sparse format, but it does take some experience to know where to look.
That, combined with stories about Jobs' parking habits and medical line-jumping paint a pretty clear picture.

Oh god this is such bullshit. Its so easy to criticize FB/tech for not predicting the far-reaching consequences of companies they built 10-15 years ago in a ~completely~ different world. Back when no-one used them and the challenges were technical rather than societal.

What was the media, with all its humanities erudition saying back then? Nothing but cheer leading, just like the rest of us. The fact is, NO ONE understood all of these consequences so clearly decades ago.

I don't recall a whole lot of enlightened humanities majors predicting doom back when the iPhone came out or FB came out. The ENTIRE world has had to learn since then, not just SV.

Of course, its the tech industries responsibility to fix it now. But this tired old trope of "shouldn't have let the nerds get in power, they don't understand!!!" is just trash. Show me the enlightened people who were concerned about privacy back when FB was a joke if you want to argue that. I didn't see any.

Caucher Birkar: An Innovator Who Brings Order to an Infinitude of Equations
In the case of executive agencies like this, usually it's the revolving door effect. Such as Joshua Wright's cushy job with one of Google's law firms after his tenure as the FCC Commissioner. You guarantee that if someone takes care of X issue for you, they'll get a really high paying job with almost no actual work involved when you leave.
Not only is my mortgage cheaper, there is an enormous benefit to being the boss in your own house.

You have complete autonomy over what you do inside the property as long as you follow the zoning laws. E.g. I don't need anyone's permission to swap out an appliance or to make some holes in the ceiling for recessed lights or to run Cat6 to every room just because.

I can just do it. And the mortgage for a 1700 sq ft. house is comparable to renting a 2-br 1100 sq ft. apartment...

True, there's maintenance involved, but that's down to preference. I enjoy most of it and do it myself.
FWIW, Google Fiber is actively being rolled out here in Louisville.
Well, new words have to come from somewhere... new roots can be introduced (and be made to act like Arabic ones - like how the plural of film is aflam), but the derivation patterns are also productive like in any other language. As an example, though the loan word 'computer' is apparently common, there's also the word 'hasuub' which I learned in my Modern Standard/Media Arabic course. The exact form is not listed in Wehr's 1968 dictionary, so maybe it wasn't used at that time, but it is straightforwardly derived from a root with same meaning as the English word 'to compute' and has the form fa3uul which (according to Wolfdietrich Fischer's Grammar of Classical Arabic) is an 'abstract or verbal noun', so basically a calque of the English.

(What a great topic - I miss this stuff!)
Oh you amazing programmer, please share the amazing systems that you are building so we can bow down and learn.
It's not micromanagement. It's working as a team. I don't really understand what you're saying. Sometimes programmers are proud and don't want to seek out help. They'd rather spin their wheels trying to debug something than stoop to asking someone else for help. It's dumb but it happens.
Let's say you have 2 developers:

- developer A wants to get promoted as quickly as possible. developer A will try to "ship" as many features as possible.

- developer B wants features to actually work, not just be "shipped". developer B volunteers to fix the problems developer A created by rushing to close as many tickets as possible.

Now, guess which developer contributes more to the team "velocity"? developer A. But in reality, developer A is just gaming the system and making everyone else slower. This is how agile distorts development.

Using velocity as KPI is the same as evaluating leaflet distributors by amount of leaflets distributed. Some will just throw them away in the garbage and claim their money.
Computer Eng. student here too! Nice portfolio :)
Just to let know you have a typo in the intro: "engieering".
The article talks about Japanese discriminating against female candidates for medical training. There are likely high workhour requirements and poor childcare support systems / cultural norms against childcare done by non-parents that can be fixed to address this problem.

Regarding US training bottlenecks. Speaking of specialties more than general Doctor positions, it takes a certain number of cases per year to train a doctor and to sustain the skills of doctors that require specialized hand skills (surgeons of any kind, ortho etc). Those skills are perishable and many hospitals get lower number of cases of certain types than needed to sustain multiple good surgeons. For example, you wouldn’t want to go to a doc that does less than 4 Whipples per year if you need a Whipple. The bottleneck in training docs is the number of cases in the US in each specialty.
Looks more like a toy rover project, rather than "an open source rover project". Hoped they will make open source substantial (even if simplified) part of the rover project, so space startups can reuse and improve it.

Google Fiber is still being built in Huntsville, AL. It straight up made Comcast, WOW, and AT&T all start rolling out gigabit. The only other local provider, Mediacom, had already begun rolling out gigabit before Google even announced its plans for the area.
If your goal for the sprint is "build widget" then your goal for the day should be "build part 3". You don't change priorities each day, you change how far along you are and where you expect to get to.
It's so true. So many people think "Agile is bad because my company does ineffective standups". That's not what Agile is! Agile is about continuous improvement.

We are uncovering better ways of developing
software by doing it and helping others do it.
Through this work we have come to value:

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan

That is, while there is value in the items on
the right, we value the items on the left more.

It's pretty simple but somehow people confuse this and Scrum (with bad scrummasters) and blame Agile for what's actually ineffective leadership
