> More decentralization is a recipe to spiral further and further into fragmented echo chambers with their own self-reinforcing ideologies and their own alternative facts.

Except the problem possibly isn't decentralized, separate echo chambers, it's centralized, connected echo chambers. Facebook was a single source through which you could easily find your echo chamber of choice, with a standard interface, no need to login or commit to anything, but you could easily find and follow the type of content you like.

If instead each echo chamber needed to set up its own site, with its own sign up and follow process, you weed out a lot of the fast and easy paths to disseminating bad information.

I think you have too much faith in NORAD. Shoot, do it on Christmas, they're too busy tracking Santa.

NORAD isn't going to notice a truck loaded with explosives doing the speed limit on a road that is perfectly legal for it to be on. You're over complicating the level of attack required. Think guerilla style. I've been to TV/Radio antenna farms. They are not reinforced anything. There's a pad lock on a chain securing a chain link fence gate. They are sheet metal structures around the equipment for the sole purpose of keeping the equipment out of the elements. Even if you don't take out the transmitter, taking out the antenna would also suffice. The antenna structures are super vulnerable. If a 1500' tower collapses, it takes a bit of time to get it back up once the parts&pieces have been gathered and assembled at the site. Here's a list of how non-intended accidents involving antenna structures[0], so imagine someone that intends to do harm. At this point, I'm concerned what my Google search history might lead one to suspect.

Well hyperloop will be more expensive any place maglev is more expensive. If maglev costs $x to build above ground, and $5x to build underground, then hyperloop would cost $10x and $50x, would it not? (disregarding what the actual scaling factor is)

Arrivo weren't really a vacuum system, at least for the last year or so.

But the thing is that electrified rail networks doesn't address the quadratically increasing losses from drag at high speeds. There's a reason you don't see railroads operating at airline speeds: drag at sea level is a killer. In fact, at high enough speeds, the energy of air travel is actually LOWER than that of a sea level train.\

Altitude gives you a lot of efficiency. The idea of the vacuum train is to bring that efficiency down to sea level. And I think it's a good idea, but a real engineering challenge. In principle, you can keep a vacuum pretty easily. Vacuum tubes remain sealed and evacuated for decades without energy consumption, for instance.

It's just at the interfaces you have to worry about leakage, and there it's a matter of careful sealing. It's possible to get really good at it. The International Space Station is full of interfaces (and thermal cycling every 90 minutes) and would quickly run out of air if we didn't know how to maintain a vacuum well at interfaces.

Netflix seems like its just a dishonest company.

I had been a customer of theirs for years, starting with the DVD rental. After a while they started adding the streaming content which was cool, but then they eventually separated the two services and switched my plan from DVD rentals to exclusively streaming content. All without any action on my part or any consent from me.

Eventually, I quit Netflix because between Prime Video and Hulu, I was covered for my streaming needs and with the exception of a few shows, was unimpressed with Netflix's original content so it was a waste of money for me.

Fast forward to a week ago, I decided to give Netflix another shot. What amazed me is the dark patterns you speak of. Like downloading content for offline viewing.

I was without access to my normal ISP and had to use cellular data so I opted to download a show. 1 episode was 100 MB and I'm on Google Fi so it was basically $1 of data usage which I understood. But then when the episode was over, I stepped away from my phone to go to the bathroom and when I came back, I found that the episode had been deleted from my phone, and that the next episode had automatically downloaded without any action on my part incurring another $0.90 of data (not to mention deleting the episode I had intentionally downloaded making the first $1 a waste)

I saw at the top of the download section that there was something called "Smart Download" enabled that claims to do exactly that - delete the last episode and download the next, but it's only supposed to happen on wi-fi which wasn't the case for me. I turned off the feature as it was obviously broken and tried contacting customer service.

The CSR I talked to then told me that the app cannot delete or download material without me clicking a button - which contradicted their description of "Smart Download" that I had just read, and he explained there was no way for them to process a refund or credit to my account because they don't have any way to do that.

This seems like a pretty major problem.

Even when confronted with a direct customer complaint, their response was just to deny, deny, deny rather than taking even minor steps to rectify the issue. This seems mind boggling from a customer service perspective when companies like Amazon will bend over backwards to keep their customers happy. Even Hulu will credit you a free month of service when they goof - they even do it if you try to cancel the service because you can't find anything good to watch. Netflix's service isn't good enough to justify this type of behavior and general apathy. Customer-last seems like a crummy business model.

Your handwriting would be faster and easier to decipher, out of necessity.

Moreover, research shows that because of this bandwidth restriction (and because you can draw easily on paper), you'd memorize the material much better, because you'd be forced to summarize it before you write it down, so it's entirely possible that you'd get into an even better college.

Without the internet, at least in school that my son goes to, the computers are utterly useless because everything is online. They have an internet filter, but kids find holes in it anyway. Kids whose parents don't give a shit just browse bullshit during class.

At home I use a combination of PiHole and OPNSense to filter things until homework is done. The list of sites and wildcards is well over 1000 entries long, and I still can't block everything I need to.
Digital requires being able to decode the transmission once received. That takes a bit of work on the receiving side that an analog signal would not. Digital has a lot of advantages, but in my opinion the single greatest advantage to analog is its simplicity. Just like an analog vinyl record. Put a pencil in the center hole to spin it, a sewing needle taped perpendicular to a piece of paper rolled into a cone and you have a decoder/player. This is the reason the Library of Congress archives audio to vinyl over any other format.

There are times when "best" isn't the best option.

More generally:

A process (P) fails. Its supervisor (S1) restarts it. If (P) fails 3 times in 5 seconds (configurable,but no backoffs) then (S1) will fail. S1's parent supervisor (S2) will now restart S1, which will restart (P) which might still fail. If P fails quickly enough, you'll cascade your "restart max of X times in Y seconds" all the way up to the application, the ultimate supervisor, which itself will shut down after 3 failures.

For DBs specifically, DBConnection relies on trapping exit and reconnecting with a backoff (it does not rely on supervisors), but how YOUR code deals with (or, doesn't deal with) a failure can result in a cascade:

defmodule MyProcess do
use GenServer

...

def something(data) do
GenServer.cast(__MODULE__, {:something, data})
end

def handle_cast({:something, data}, state) do
...
Postgrex.query!("lower case sql because we aren't monsters", [])
...
end
end

If your DB goes down, this process will crash when something/1 is called. If something/1 is called at a rate greater than the supervisors are configured to accept, it'll take down the app.

The population loss is the domestic portion. There is a much larger population gain from international migration inwards (in general, this past year that wasn't the case in places like the Bay Area, but overall).

Also, the composition of the domestic migration. In general, lower income workers move out to other states (these are more in number), and higher income workers move in from other states. Not the best article, but here is a recent one: https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-california-census-mig...
Kind of playing devil’s advocate here since there’s so many negative comments on this feature, but is it possible that this was a well-intentioned design decision on the part of Netflix?

I personally like having the ability to preview content rapidly—I can glean a lot about a show/movie in just a few seconds of video (title/thumbnail alone is low-info). The old pattern was ~5 clicks + buffer time to watch a preview (if one was even available). Also, opening Netflix signals an intention to receive audio+video—this isn’t nearly so bad as e.g. ESPN’s site randomly blasting you with a video as I’m trying to read an article.

Anyways, I agree that software should be as user-configurable as is reasonable, and it seems that these days apps like Netflix are completely bereft of meaningful options. Also much of the content that Netflix pumps out feels like the output of a generative algorithm designed to cover market segments vs. anything guided by a sort of original artistic vision.

(PS—can we collectively pump the brakes on the “X minor annoyance is cancer” lingo?)
Sounds like they should have hooked up with a real payment provider. If InfoWars can get one for their store (through First Data even, much cheaper than PayPal), no reason SubscribeStar couldn't.
Man, I feel left out of being an NBA star, but never learning to play, and then complaining about it, doesen't help, even if you are short. You get respect by trying and failing, not by failing basic prerequisites and wistfully blaming the tech community.
>There is no real argument for keurig cups other than convenience.

This is true at anything that one purchases - you outsource the effort for a fee. All single serve items are the same or worse as the keurig in terms of waste that makes things easy.

> Should people be able to choose to generate such waste for something so trivial?

Yes.

>If Keurig is not responsible for the mountains of damage done, and the consumers are not responsible, then where does the buck stop?

Customers vote with their dollars. They are not to blame for the waste - but not free of responsibility. Want to make change? Stand up for what you believe and get others to join you. Don't make anyone do anything by force (regulation).

> What's upsetting about autoplay??

I should have been clear, I meant the trailers. I'm browsing for specific content but getting blasted by ads for Netflix originals.

> did you ever think maybe you should just not subscribe to it?

I often don't. They've pushed me from a habitual subscriber to an occasional subscriber. Perversely that means I'm opting out of providing them ux data.

But in general people can have complaints about something even if it's not a dealbreaker. For another example, the ux on aging isn't great, but it beats the alternative.

You are correct in that its not deadly in it's own right, I should have written that tobacco should be banned and nicotine with it. However, I think it certainly is fair to consider attendant consequences of its modes of abuse in regulating it--while the drug itself is not lethal in normal patterns of abuse, it's patterns of abuse do lead to deaths.

It's acute lethal dose can be as little as 500mg and it is considered a deadly posion; it's actually a good thing in that regard that nicotine is rarely used "directly," as it would be hard to develop poisoning from regular use. But with the liquid in vapes themselves, that is a concern, particularly if small children have access. In terms of chronic effects, the biggest concern is adolescents and effects on brain development--not deadly, but definitely a direct harm from the drug itself. It is not a carcinogen, but it may be a tumor promoter. And it can lead to death or severe harm to the fetus if used by a pregnant mother as it crosses the placenta readily (a case of chronic levels harmless to mother reaching acute toxicity levels against the tiny weight of the baby). Lastly, the harvesting of tobacco does lead to consequences for the workers such as GTS which can cause serious symptoms.

And regarding the addictive affect itself, I do see your point with regard to caffeine, however, I think it is important to consider the relative magnitude of its effects. Caffeine can lead to dependence and withdrawal, but the frequency of these effects doesn't lead to a public health concern on the level of nicotine, which is one of the core factors for a CSA scheduling action.

Exactly. It levels you up so you no longer have to deal with the autoplay bosses.
Well by your latter definition a whole swathe of Christmas movies would be disqualified ...
Agreed--I'd argue that a physically harmless, pleasure causing, addictive product is inherently worth of regulation. Dependence (use without truly wanting to) and abuse (use despite harm--which can arguably include financial harm even with no physiological affects) are the criteria for a substance use disorder which is in itself a medical diagnosis. Products that serve no useful purpose and readily lead to the development of use disorders should not be sold.

Only 1/2 your mortgage payment?

In Williamson County I was paying 3.1% of assessed value several years ago.

With a 4% mortgage rate fixed for 30 years, it would only be a matter of time before the house would appreciate roughly 30% and then then 3.1% property tax rate applied to the higher value would be more than the mortgage interest.
