I don’t blame OP for being in a bad situation but Netflix can’t add another card on their own. That’s preposterous, sorry.

I’m guessing that OP tried to start another free trial and inadvertently paid because they weren’t eligible. Last I checked, Netflix makes the trial-ineligible payment screen similar enough to the trial-activation-with-valid-card screen that this is possible. It’s a bit of a dark pattern. But it would be national news if they worked with banks to steal new credit card numbers.

It’s important to remember that Satoshi is not a god, but I also agree with this reply to the OP tweet:

> Great summary. However all issues you mention are technical ones (mostly coding). I think the people that praise Satoshi or follow his "gospel" are more attached to his concept and design which is, in most cases, the White Paper.

Any software engineer will write buffer overflows, miss a few corner cases that break your model, or write hard-to-maintain code that needs to be refactored. However these issues are ephemeral, do not block the broader vision, and have since been fixed. I would even argue that it’s totally understandable that the initial PoC of Bitcoin was buggy and flawed. It should be expected of any first-try implementation of groundbreaking tech.
Recent release of the tapes and Video? Possibly to validate violence and authority, or the questioning of them?
Not to worry too much about perfection in "theory". You can abuse inheritance a bit, give a function a weird name from time to time, have a long method and it doesn't matter as much as you'd think.
Whoa. This is such a profound piece. We praise information hiding and process isolation because it is the key to a large-scale system that is successful, and indeed it is the key to a large-scale system that is successful! Of course the information get hidden away, and we have to face its consequence.
I once read an article mentioning it was okaying domestic violence. Seriously.
This assumes that lisp leads to that. Which is why the criticism feels fabricated.
I only recently got Netflix, but I was quite surprised to see how many films they don't have. If a random film pops into my head, it seems like there's only a 10 or 20 percent chance it's going to be on there. Even stuff that I would think would be cheap to license, like movies 20+ years old. Amazon Prime Video is just as bad, probably worse.

Compare that to Spotify, which will have a song I want 95% of the time or more.

The value of Netflix is not that high for me right now. With ads it will be even lower.

I think this criticism of lisp is overblown. It’s never idiomatic to introduce a macro unless you really need one. In the clojure community at least, macros are used pretty sparsely. The base language is is expressive enough.

Wow. I used to live in the US but thank you for the reminder. I am very glad i now work a government job in a country with public health care. I went to the dentist last week. Walking out without paying anything, not a single form, feels like stealing. I cannot understand how anyone in the US can pay such costs. Simply staying alive seems a constant battle.
Yeah. As a branch from rowang's points, humans are primed from birth to grok complex syntax and specifically leverage that syntax to ingest information streams.

In programming, this is most clearly illustrated by contrasting Lisp and their ilk with Ruby. General considerations of the languages aside, Ruby's syntax is notoriously complex - yet, the language is famous for being one of, if not the most, easiest to read languages currently in use.

Haha pretty much. I've only ever once had to run through the whole list and it was with ticket Master. My end is "if you aren't able to proceed with the interview process without having a range for me, that's ok, I'm happy to separate now on mutual good terms."

I was wondering why the article didn’t bring up the Britney Spears “hit me baby” thing.

Actually Max Martin is Swedish and he wrote tons and tons of the hits we hear today. Basically this dude and Lucazs Gottwald wrote the majority of ALL the hits from the last 10-20 years, which is why all pop sounds the same lol

I wonder what the actual percentage is. It’s pretty insane that two guys wrote a huge amount of the main pop songs you hear today.
Why do you ask? Do you think it's unusual to question something when new evidence comes to light? Seems entirely reasonable to share updated information on a very well known study.
I'm really curious about the benchmarks used for Java (and C++). List processing being 20x slower than C++? Array access being 7x slower than C++?

So yep. A 16 year old benchmark when Java 1.4 was current (Java 5 was 2004 which brought with it a collections rework and a lot of improvements with not everything needing to be synchronized) based on a 20 year old update on something that was written in '91.

> Built-in Support for Lists. Java has the Vector type, which allows for sequences of dynamically varying length

That's ancient history.

> Dynamic Typing. Java attaches run-time type information to instances of the class Object, but not to primitive data elements. However, Java requires a type declaration for every variable. This has some advantages for production code, but has disadvantages for rapid prototyping and evolution of programs. Java does not have a generic/template system that would allow types life Vector<String>, and suffers greatly because of it. Python's object model is the same as Lisp's, but Python does not allow optional type declarations as Lisp does.

More ancient history.

The Java IDE being compared is BlueJ.

Some of those points were valid in '97. Some were interesting in 2002. But languages have changed and Java (1.4 -> Java 8 and beyond), Python (2.1 -> 3.7) and Perl (5.7 -> 5.28.0) have all matured quite a bit since then. And then there's the ideas of functional programming that are seeping into other languages.

This article aged worse than the bumperstickers from '85 that's also currently on the front page.
Comparatively speaking to what? The 20% non-military fatality rate in the decade of bombing that preceded that particular year? Vietnam? Korea?

To make a hand-wavy statement such as "China won’t agonize about collateral damage the way we do" makes it sound as though you think the collective American morality is somehow superior to that of the Chinese? I'm curious how one could come to such a conclusion while taking into account both recent and less recent history.

> It’s entirely possible to have an astoundingly effective supply chain while also knowing very little about it. Not only is it possible: it may be the enabling condition of capitalism at a global scale.

In Hayek's view, this is a defining characteristic of capitalism.

There is a "structure of production", far too vast for any planner (or supply chain management expert) to comprehend. But it works anyway through a process of distributed information discovery coordinated in the minimum by prices.

Put another way: without prices, it stops working at all, SAP or not.

Where supply chain management mostly comes from is that to the extent that companies can add to price-based coordination, they can improve profitability for the participating members of the supply chain. The classic problem is "the bullwhip effect". We recognise a similar phenomenon in buffer bloat. Where you have local inventories and local optimisation, you can get a great deal of unpleasant oscillation.
For the price, it makes much more sense to buy a scooter if someone is going to use a scooter as their daily commuter transportation.

I checked the price of Bird (idk what the prices of Lime/Spin are), and it's $1 per ride plus $.15/min. For 2x20min commutes per day, that's $8/day to ride a scooter. A roundtrip on the subway would be 2x$2.75, so $5.50/day.

Taken monthly, it's $160/mo to ride a scooter vs. $110/mo to ride the subway.

A Xiaomi scooter is about $500 on Amazon, so the cost would be recouped in less than 5 months. Seems reasonable for those who would be "frequent riders" to just buy their own collapsible scooters and carry it with them into work.
I thought that was an interesting mistake to make since it really doesn't make a lot of sense. After looking around, it seems every website reports the lyric as "Got time" but according to JT, he actually says "Guy time".

https://twitter.com/THETNKIDS/status/978655880400068608

Anyway, that's not to say that native English speakers don't use gibberish or awkward phrases just to make a line sound nice, just that in this case it seems to be a lyric misunderstanding
Jump just landed in Denver a few days ago with dockless electric bikes. I've taken two rides so far.

These blow scooters right out of the water. I can get exercise and extra speed by pedaling along with the motor. Their app passed the ride data to my iPhone's health app for activity tracking.

Other bonuses come to mind. If it should run out of charge, it would be a heavy bike. People don't look as dorky on bikes.

I don't get why people are angry about scooters, but these E-bikes are awesome and I'd much rather use them given the choice. I'd love to see E-bikes take over as the dominant way of getting around.

P.S. Almost forgot to mention: that thing was fun! (No, I'm not affiliated with Jump/Uber).

> Keep pushing for free and open standards. Oppose lock-in and patent protection racket.

The commenter is looking for a list of specific, actionable steps they can take to make sure AV1 "wins". Unfortunately (as the author effectively acknowledges), there really aren't any.

My worry about seeing thinkpieces like this is that Mozilla hasn't been able to influence Apple through AOMedia — it's not accidental that Apple is still missing from the front page — and so is resorting to general-audience emotional appeals. I'd go so far as to say that "here's how the sky will fall" posts like this are harmful to their cause.
It’s wonderful tech that has saved us thousands a month. The lock in is very little as it’s running a JS function. We’ve written our functions so that the export to the GC function merely passes in arguments to another function that is required. We could move to AWS, Zeit, or anywhere else with little friction.
Hotspot Shield Elite 7.11.0 with Crack
a small European country that has managed to become a global powerhouse in agriculture and technology—the Netherlands.

Humorously, the quote is from an article critical of The Netherlands:

https://www.yesmagazine.org/happiness/the-netherlands-can-fe...

The world seems to largely forget that the Dutch had a major empire at one time. I'm not quite sure why that is. But I think you wouldn't make a comment like this about, say, Great Britain. We read stuff about the US and UK all the time and take it as a given. No one is surprised to read the umpteenth American or British piece.

How The Netherlands manages to be such a powerhouse and seemingly go largely unrecognized as such strikes me as an intriguing question in its own right.

What mutual trust?

We live in a capitalist society where the literal goal of an enterprise is to exploit the labour of workers and pay them less than what they create in terms of value.

There are young graduates who haven't worked that out yet and there are veterans who know the game well. At no point is trust involved in this equation. Employment is a mutually beneficial arrangement where the worker's self interest to maximize their wealth is always orthogonal to the employer's self interest of maximizing their wealth.

Just be a grownup and negotiate a fair cut. I fucking hate employers acting like we have some kind of trust, or worse, friendship. We're in a business arrangement. The only mutual trust is that I will do what I can to make as much money off you as possible, and you will do what you can to make as much money off me as possible. So long as that arrangement benefits us both, we have a working relationship. There's a reason why you will find a paragraph along the lines of 'don't be friends with your employees' in every book for founders.

People who say stuff like you're saying fall into one of two categories: the naive who haven't yet figured out how the world actually works, and the disingenuous preying on the naive who haven't figured out how the world works. I won't work with either.
Chinese policies (or laws, or contracts etc.) don’t mean anything
Across my Java career, I've done raw servlets, struts, Spring, Stripe, and back to Spring. The vast majority of my Java knowledge transferred seamlessly from one environment to another with only minor changes ("oh, that's how its done in Stripe").

I could probably switch to another team that uses something else with a different version of Java and become a contributor within a day or two of getting the environment up and running.

If each LISP team is using their own DSL, how much of that LISP knowledge transfers from one shop to another? While the overall structure of the language is the same, how much of the DSL is the same? Is it similarity of Spring to Struts (a few different annotations, all of the data structures are the same)? or is it similarity of Java to C# (different annotations, different data structures, similar syntax, a number of the Patterns shift implementation)?
The venn overlap of companies that are very successful and also screw early employees out of stock options is very small, but sometimes expectations aren't properly set about how options work.

What dental services were performed? In the U.S. I frequently pay nothing nor fill out any forms for dental work.
Who knows. The point is that what was reported isn't what happened so the original findings of the study are invalid and cannot be trusted.

To answer your question you'd want to do a new study where your question and the methodology is defined in advance. Defining the questions after an experiment has ended leads to bad conclusions because you are biased by having already seen what has happened and likely to fit your question to match the results.

The electric shock experiment (https://www.simplypsychology.org/milgram.html) seems similar to your question showing a willingness for people to go further than they normally would when asked to do so by an authority figure.

Top 50 Dynamic Programming Problems with Solutions
The worst part is the VPN blocks even for their own content. But their UI/UX is incredibly boring and does make it hard to search for items. They seem to want to feed you their own choices instead of helping you find what you want.
The simple/fast solution is healthcare providers have to 1) publish costs and 2) have fixed prices regardless of purchasers.

And while I support universal healthcare, this is an easy solution that falls well into capitalism (no 'socialism' here for the far right) as governments role is to create open and level playing fields for both consumer and business to promote a free market.

The fact no legislator has brought forward, let alone voted through, such a simple and effective improvement shows how deep the healthcare industry is in the corridors of power.

If "stress" = "worrying about (something that may happen in) the future", then mightn't 'over eating' be a primitive physiological response? e.g. similar to how 'threat of imminent attack' -> 'fight or flight', perhaps 'threat of something bad in future' -> 'better pack on the kilojoules now in case we can't secure an adequate food supply'.
These incidents were with respect to 0.6-supporting versions of packages. Pinning is a good idea for reproducability but it's not the default, so updating packages or new installs are broken when careless things make it instantly into a release.

Talk to me when google, amazon, microsoft, facebook etc are publicly using and officially supporting julia on cloud platforms or even infrastructure libraries like protobuf.

The carelessness isn't responsible for or helping anything. A good diffeq and optimization suite have been built despite the prevalence of careless practices, not because of them.

It's not a question of money either, just patience and code review and recognition of how many things downstream are going to be affected by mistakes. You'll save more time in not having to put out as many fires than it will cost to slow down and not be in such a rush at all times.
I was blown away at the intensity of the propaganda blitz when the Obama administration was working on healthcare - I haven’t seen so much manipulation outside an election cycle. The ‘American healthcare is the best in the world!’ line that was oft repeated stands out to me, since by most objective standards it is far from the best.
Trust is earned. You don't actually have trust when you first meet someone.

It's a savvy negotiating tactic to start with behaviors based on an assumption of good faith, but only if you aren't cutting your own throat in the process.

I'm not all that great at job hunting, so I have hesitated to jump in to this discussion. But perhaps that says something important. I mean, the fact that I'm pretty good at negotiating generally, yet not so great at the job hunting process. Perhaps that is important commentary in its own right on some of the problems in the job market with asymmetrical info and how that can impact job applicants.

Right, I think that's being missed in this thread.

Experience alone doesn't necessarily mean they can solve the problem and ship/write good code. I've worked with plenty of "senior" engineers that have 20+ years experience yet have never dealt with any serious issues. These usually work at companies where a small team of "ninjas" handles those sorts of things, and the run of the mill Dilbert coder shows up and does his thing. This is not a knock on those people. They are important in their own way, truly. But I would not want them to be the responsible party for steering the ship in a new app.

From my experience the issues with this study have been well known for a long time.
A first year Psychology paper I took over 10 years ago was at pains to point out the flaws in the study - not that this was unusual, a good lecturer will critically analyse any scientific study they present.
Perhaps it has more to do with the increasing popular appeal of the study?
Asking a question that directly changes the negotiating relationship is adversarial from the start.
I think thats right, using the slang baby as a direct object is rare but possible. “I shot my baby” e.g., but using it with “another baby” really throws it off because a lover is not something you usually have multiple of at the same time so there is not enough context to resolve the ambiguity and lots of natives default to the wrong meaning.
