Netflix raises prices on all streaming plans in US
We’ve been working hard on this all throughout the holidays so we’re really excited to share it with you
> But you can't take a ride on her bus with my smartcard.

Even if I put some money on that card, via her bus' payment system? As in, I go to a tfl ticket machine, touch, put money on, touch again and then I can use the card on the underground. Then I go to Southampton, go to a ticket machine, touch, put money on, touch again, then I can use the card on the Southampton's transit system.

As a programmer in Idaho, I breathed a sigh of relief.
This should be the default method in which companies work, and honestly there are a lot that do and it seems to have gotten better in my career. But there will always be bad actors or those who wish to cover things up instead of being direct about mistakes.

Good on you for being up front and honest with the customers who were affected and for going the extra step and being willing to return funds. The offer is all that is needed for most businesses to see that you care about the product and their continued support.

In the U.S. years and years ago I read this same lesson from a small hospital surprisingly. They had a surgery go wrong, like amputated off the wrong limb IIRC, and admitted they screwed up directly and immediately to the family. They quickly paid compensation and didn't try to sneak in legal terms to prevent the family from suing. The family when interviewed said the main reason they didn't sue was that the hospital was up front, immediately tried to do what they could and didn't try to hide or sneak in terms preventing the family from suing etc. IIRC, the hospital also invited the family to sit in on meetings about steps they were taking to prevent similar mistakes from happening again.

That was extremely unsatisfying. Great simplification and overview... then skipped directly to a "conclusion"
I oppose the reintroduction of any large predator. The ecosystem benefits can be met by human hunters instead, and if they are skilled they can kill more humanely than wild predators. That said, wolves are much less dangerous than tigers, so I'm not too concerned by that specific case.

To all the downvoters, what is the maximum number of humans eaten by tigers per year you'd be willing to accept in exchange for allowing them to roam free?
No you're talking about the first example. On the second example he says

> But—gettier!—the email service that the code relied on had itself gone down, at almost the exact same time that the change was released.

So the error was caused by the email service going down, which is completely independent of the code change/pull request.
It has, but the UIs of Hulu and Prime are much worse.

Netflix Raising Prices for 58M US Subscribers
It doesn't. In enterprise environments that use something like this, the sysadmins install their own CA certificate on all machines. You can't just MITM random machines at a coffeeshop.
This is the nail for me. Their original content has been lackluster at best and for them to be pushing that as the reason for the price hike is no good. It was the reason for the last few hikes as well and nothing has changed. There have been a few that are interesting to watch (stranger things of course), but for every one that is good there are at least 20 that are garbage. If they want to put out original content fine, but they need to go for quality not quantity like they are. It's like they don't say no to anything people create under netflix. This on top of the fact that in the last 2 years and into this year they've basically butchered their catalog of tv/movies from other companies (fox,disney, ect..) to where if those are the things I want to watch I might as well go else where. I'm not saying that's their fault, but I'm sure they could strike a deal with these media companies if they like vs spending the money on originals that are just there to fill the UI.
The thrust of this is not to name which agencies use Tor to spy on you, but to point out the fact that the entire Tor system was developed by the government and is probably a big honeypot. Who cares what TLA-named agency is using it this week? The point is that it's not the security panacea it's made out to be by tech libertarians.
Your machine (browser) will only accept the false certificates without complaining a lot if you have previously added the certification authority of the attacker to your browsers list of valid CAs.

Yes it's gotten worse, but all the video services' interfaces are really terrible in various ways. What really drives me nuts about the current AppleTV app are the autoplay previews of every show you linger on for more than a second so you literally cannot get a moment's peace while flipping through the cruddy guide. And many of the previews are obviously computer-generated and are downright terrible.
Faucet: An open source SDN controller for high-speed production networks
I'm not super sure about the rings in Hamburg but: 7.80€ for "Hamburg AB All Day Ticket" vs £13.10 (=14.68€) for London zones 1-4 "1 day any time" from your links are a factor of 2 more expensive for London. As for what I'm on about the >5€ price for a single ride ticket: I simply took the OP at their word (they mentioned the ticket costing £4.90 in the quote above us - anecdotally I paid about that much when visiting London and staying at friends' places).

For Berlin I pay 760€ for a yearly ticket despite not living centrally (AB zone ticket still covers it). London zones 1-2 yearly ticket[1] is £1404 (=1574.45€) again factor of 2 more expensive.

When we lived in Vienna (a wealthy city, probably similar to Munich or Hamburg) transit prices were similar to Berlin (maybe even cheaper).

Not to mention that because London housing is so expensive most "common people" (who aren't living with room mates or are very wealthy) live in what we would consider a suburb rather than the city (in terms of distance from the city center) thus paying fares from further zones (iirc my friends at the time lived in zone 3 & were middle class professionals not paupers and/or with huge families).

There is a lot of sketchy evidentiary techniques that get in, for sure. That said, the vast majority of prosecutions are based on extremely strong evidence. Reading the news gives a misimpression because you only see the edge cases. But for every “making of a murderer” there are ten guys who are convicted based in being caught on security cameras, and credit card reciepts tying them to the scene of the crime, and witness testimony.
Not everyone is a designer (and that's ok)
Nice marketing stunt, but how many security researchers already have a Model 3 or are going to buy one to do this?

Guessing just already-successful firms / personalities that want to win Tesla pen-testing contracts in the future?

Am I happy about a price hike? No.. but it still beats the hell out of cable which I found myself paying $100+/mo to watch mostly commercials. I couldn't take it anymore.

I agree that the Netflix content can be hit-or-miss.. usually more miss.. but it does have some movies and shows on there I find myself coming back to and re-watching. It also keeps my kids entertained with their selection of cartoons/animated shows so that is a plus.

We don't watch many TV shows, but we do have a Hulu (commercial free subscription) which again is quite affordable.

All in all, I still feel that I have a better alternative to cable/satellite TV. If prices continue to climb to the point where they are closer in cost, I may re-evaluate this again.
This will be interesting. A Jeep Cherokee was hacked a couple years ago. The results are pretty bad. It cost Chrysler a lot of money in recalls to fix the issue.[1]

Why is cognitive function impaired at high altitude?
In my [limited] experience, the latency [associated with chunked streaming like HLS] is often treated as a feature by at least radio stations. It gives them a window for dynamic ad insertion. As long as the stream is quality and resumable then the latency with regard to the live AM/FM broadcasts has been of negligible importance— at least not high on the priority list.

That's experience with one company owning a group of stations across the country. I don't know how other stations or groups work with it. These stations aren't typically critical data. Includes a couple of news stations, but a few seconds latency for a breaking story won't 'break' them.
Step 1. wait until the owner is nearby

Boom, enjoy your 'hacked' model 3
Maybe that's because $2.50/mo/show is too much. Also, paying by the show doesn't give you the ability to check out a show on a recommendation that you may or may not want to really watch.
Wrote the blog about 5 years ago, to a non-existent audience. The blog writing was simply to motivate myself to complete the application, which is an arduous process and, for me, was optional career-wise. At first I did things like create a Twitter account, follow people, tweet it out, etc, but that didn't work at all. I basically had negligible traffic for the first year at least. Then Google organically started picking it up because I had written useful content in an underserved niche - one of the things that got me writing the blog was searching for free help in the first place and not finding anything. Even after a couple of years, I was earning maybe $15/month in AdSense. Then the affiliate site reached out to me out of the blue, we tried some tests, and they failed miserably (no one converted). Months later he came back to me with an actual affiliate program, we tried it and it slow started to work and has scaled up to what I described above.

So to summarize, by far most of my time was spent writing the blog posts and watching my non-existent analytics. Nothing I actively did to market the site (and I did very little) worked. It was a project that didn't intend to make money, that ended up making money.
Great details!

Makes you think that we should really be getting rid of gas pipelines and making electric-only houses. Maybe you wouldn’t even need to get rid of the pipeline during decommissioning? Just turn off the source and drain the network.

Unfortunately, gas is so cheap right now and also many prefer cooking with gas.
SSL certificates have to be signed by a vendor ( authority ) your browser trusts or the certificates are considered invalid ( hence the hoo-ha when firefox or chrome occasionally stop trusting some vendor for bad practices ).

Your workplace can install themselves as a trusted certificate authority on client machines in order to break that model and allow themselves to issue certificates on the fly for any website.

If you're using your own hardware, they can't do this to you. If you're using someone else's, you're at their mercy.
That's how Roku remotes look.

A current gen remote has dedicated buttons (with logos) for Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, and CBS All Access.

I saw an older one recently, and it had buttons for Netflix and Blockbuster. I had forgotten that Blockbuster ever had a streaming service.
A few years ago, one of the best managers I ever worked for left to become the CTO of a company doing pattern analysis of network traffic, rather than Deep Packet Inspection. The premise was that most of the internet traffic on your network follows the same typical patterns, but nefarious traffic doesn't. Drop their system into the network and voila, you can start to find the weird things going on that seem out of the ordinary.

At the time, I thought that it seemed a bit heavy-handed- just use DPI and you'll get the same results. This article is making me think he was very prescient in the matter.
Then you can be like Europe which already has legislation very like that proposal! Factory fitted lights will be fine when new, and dazzle as they get older, despite it supposedly on the MOT test list. But, half the daylight running LEDs now fitted are bright enough to dazzle from the second you roll it out of the showroom.

The worst case won't be touched at all - that's the thousands who've bought illegally bright aftermarket kits, installed illegally without adaptation or self-levelling, probably in illegal cool colours too. Not a police priority so few will get pulled.

Night driving is becoming ever more unpleasant as a result.

That's inevitable when you have resident designers who must make things different to justify their tenure. Once you have reached a local optimum, they can make only things worse.

If you think more modern Harley's(twin cams, evolutions)are unreliable I guess you'd say the older ones didn't run at all. The fact something can vibrate and shake so much and leave the Stealership with rattling apart is a feat of engineering.

With cam tensioners changed you'll get 100k out of a twincam before needing work with just oil and tires(and whatever parts rattle off).

Harley's trying to innovate(electric bikes/scooters, dual sport). Problem is their consumer base is stuck in past/vanishing. Some people use fountain pens instead of more modern pens, even though they might be more inconvenient/expensive. While I only own Japanese bikes now, I can't deny there is a 'feeling' of riding a Harley.
Industry exists to serve personal consumption. Other than a few percent of GDP spent on defense and national infrastructure, the remainder of emissions is ultimately the responsibility of the individuals whose consumption that activity enables. If everyone took full responsibility for their emissions including those intermediated through industry we could see a much larger reduction in emissions.
> we expect multi-meter sea level rise from Antarctica in the coming centuries.”

1) Nonsense modeling. 20 year predictions from the 1990's turned out to be laughable, now they're predicting 200 years ahead. How about they try 2 year models, maybe they could get those right?

2) Can't see why I should care about someone's beach property in 2428. Even if their models were correct, which ch they aren't.

Most people live paycheck to paycheck and these lunatics want to tax and spend their hard earned money to prevent fantasy scenarios. Truly appalling.
Season passes are still readily available to purchase from multiple vendors. Amazon, Apple, Google, and Steam at least all sell them.
Great, will just wait 35 years for this feature to become reliable and work its way down to the majority of the US auto fleet.

It's amazing how many people here -- presumably reasonably successful people -- are butt hurt about paying a few more dollars a month for unlimited, high quality (in terms of streaming quality) content.

I fail to see this as a cynical attempt to squeeze more money out of consumers. Netflix is cheap. Really, really cheap. They're putting a ton of money into original content. The streaming quality is fantastic.

No, it's not all amazing content. How much f'n content do you need? Get off the damn couch, go outside, get some work done, whatever.
Really? I watch them sparingly but I'm consistently shocked at the production value. They are the quality of movies split in episodes!
I don't think they want you to watch less. They just want you to watch the stuff they own the rights to which seems kind of odd since they don't publicize the viewership numbers.
As I said, it's a bit of a conundrum, and I for one, have been very much on the side of questioning my own ideas more than anyone else would.

However, as I said, I have come to the conclusion, alas only recently, that that may not be such a good idea.

To answer your question: the world will tell you.
Given enough time, we may find out.

They should be incentivized to have a good UI. If people don't enjoy using the app, then those people are more likely to cancel the subscription. I don't think Netflix wants to discourage people from using the app.
Run X Window or Windows 2000 in the browser
Yes.

They're also deteriorating in terms of product quality.

Tried to watch Bandersnatch last night, and it says "your device is not compatible. Try using a smartphone or a newer laptop"

But I was on a brand new laptop (Windows 10, 7700HQ, Radeon RX480). Netflix is telling people to use laptops, but they forgot to update their own laptop app to support their own movies.

I work in multimedia and interactive video, we have teams of just three or four people who support everything themselves (Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, Web, etc). I don't understand how Netflix, with it's millions of dollars, can't do the same. Netflix's marketing claims they "only hire the best of the best" (and they probably do), but their actual product just feels so lazy, it's hard to reconcile the two. Why do you need the best people, if you don't want to build a good product?

I really don't understand some of the pearl clutching in this thread when it comes to "re-bundling", you can get Netflix, Hulu and HBO for less than half of any non-promotional cable package out there (not including discounts for Netflix and Hulu via subscriptions through other platforms). How much TV do you watch??

I haven't read the original paper, so maybe the example is better, but it seems the cow example fails the justified condition. The knowledge is justified if it derives from the evidence, but once we know the evidence is faulty it can no longer be used for justification by definition. It seems by extension that any justified true belief can become unjustified by the addition of new information that invalidates the justification on which the alleged knowledge is based upon.

Oh Geez! I work in Industrial Automation. I have had a front row seat to the gains made over the last 20 years that nobody ever predicted. I give factory tours regularly and most people with decades of experience have their minds blown at the efficiency gains in industrial processes.

It has nothing to do with violating physics. Its just about being part of hyper-connected systems where incremental change, is happening in a thousand different places along the entire assembly line that add up to huge gains that nobody can imagine individually.

Are we going to see things materializing at button press in an instant? No. But we are going to get damn close.
You could also argue that your expectations are defective. It is possible to accidentally solve a problem in a correct manner.
Considering no games are built to support 24 threads, most don't even scale past 8 yet, any gamer would be much better off with a 9900k. I don't know who they're targeting with this, but with the 9980xe already being so expensive if someone truly wanted maximum single core performance for games and lots of cores for other things why not buy a 9900k and a 2990wx. More performance for likely a whole lot less.
...overly clever headline meaning "variation in 'screen time' is basically uncorrelated to mental health". Both because "screen time" is poorly defined, and because whatever impact it has is vastly overshadowed by numerous other factors. But studies about "screen time" get attention because the culture has shifted so drastically in the past 10 years.
Personally, while I do find DSLs easier to read, I find writing them harder than recursive descent. The problem is that a DSL will still have theoretical limitations (ie shift shift or shift reduce errors, left recursion, performance). In order to deal with these limitations you still have to know how everything works under the hood.

With recursive descent, you can always start adding break points until you understand the forces involved.

I recently signed one with several coworkers for another coworker and I tried so hard to write something profound that I ended up writing something that I felt was really awkward to read. I should have just said what I felt: "I'm so very sorry for your loss."
Does someone feel that most netflix (and hollywood) movies are pretty "empty"? It´s like watching something while watching nothing.
Firefox profiles are already not guaranteed to be compatible between versions. Sometimes this causes problems when sharing a profile between a Release version and an ESR version. For example, FF 55.0 moved favicons to their own file, favicons.sqlite, and FF 52 ESR would not be able to read favicons from the profile any more.
