Not only is the first part of the TOS sort of standard, its the decent version. It ends with the "in connection with the service". Many TOS just give a carte blanche permission for any reason at all. This one is at least the reason you expect: You upload or write content into this, and Discord can act like Discord with that content.

That was an option last season too, but I think I had to have a unique, partnered, non-computer device on which to register the HBO Now account, and the process was broken on the one "acceptable" device I had. I don't remember what it was, but I do remember digging it out of storage and being terribly inconvenienced.

In any case, after two thorough, time-consuming attempts I gave up and mooched of a friend who had recently bought a Roku or something.

How hard is it to setup? Does it come with a UI to easily view, sort and filter these events into graphs like Mixpanel or Amplitude?

Additionally, the search function doesn't easily surface the most recent messages matching a query. "Gooz Frabba" seems to get me a short list (the first ever mention from years ago; the one where I mentioned it to a friend; etc), followed by a random assortment of messages which don't contain the very latest email I received until I scroll down a screen or few.

'Revenue'!='users'. EDIT: and 10% is, while important, a pretty subtle difference compared to the enormous variability of traffic. Traffic is a time-series which drifts and has many potentially large jumps. If you removed ads only once, how would you ever notice? The effect is very noticeable if you look at samples with _n_ in the millions, or if you remove/add scores of times and model it statistically, though.

I do, actually.

Luckily, none of them involve spending thousands of dollars on ultra-premium equipment whose advantages are completely imaginary.

I understand how an espresso machine works. If somebody is charging you five figures for one, they're trying to pull a fast one.
I had the same problem (once in a blue moon, sublime did the correct behavior, but overall it was pretty unreliable).

As a solution, I wrote a small ST package [1] which produces the desired behavior. The package listens on a socket to "open-file-requests", which can be issued from the command line.

Via bash aliasing, you can invoke something like `lsub myfile.txt` which will then do what you want.

However, I'm not too sure about whether it works for git, as it's probably not blocking (I didn't test it for this usecase). Maybe it's still useful for someone, though.

AlphaGo Zero uses substantially less power to play, but it used astronomically more compute power to train & learn. According to OpenAI, AlphaGo Zero used more than 1,000 Petaflop/s-day, or about 4x higher than Alpha Zero and 100x more than Dota 1v1 or 10,000x more than VGG/ResNet. [1] The combination of better algorithms + more efficient hardware has significantly reduced the energy waste of that additional compute power.

I honestly found it very refreshing how explicit and upfront they were about their data collection. There are plenty of "free" products that try hard to hide the fact that they are doing it too; this time I felt like I was actually engaging in a fair transaction.

For a lot of my less tech-savvy friends, it has been a blessing too. Discord is incredibly easy to set up, the audio adapts without tweaking, and new chatrooms are just a couple clicks away. Really my only other option was Skype and that is seemingly much worse.
There's also the DirecTV Now app, which gets bundled with some AT&T mobile plans, and the UX there is much worse than in HBO Now. I don’t think you can make watchlists, and it won’t pick up from the same time if you get interrupted.

Well said. This is my line of thinking when comparing current AI to the human brain.

(full disclosure: I work for ArangoDB but this is my own personal opinion)

Coming from a JS background AQL is actually pretty easy to learn. Personally the only thing that keeps tripping me up is that AQL doesn't have a triple-equals and JS has trained me to avoid double-equals in comparisons.

This is how you fetch every user in a collection:

FOR user IN users RETURN user

This is how you fetch every admin:

FOR user IN users FILTER user.role == "admin" RETURN user

This is how you fetch their email addresses:

FOR user IN users FILTER user.role == "admin" RETURN user.email

Compare this to the equivalent in SQL:

SELECT email FROM users WHERE role == "admin"

The AQL example is IMO easy to read if you know JS or any similar language. AQL even has object and array literals. There are a few idiosyncrasies but you can get very far without needing to invest time to "properly" learn the language. The naive approach usually results in pretty good performance out of the box.

I'd say the mental overhead of switching into AQL and out doesn't quite compare to that of e.g. SQL or even MongoDB queries but you are of course correct that there is some overhead nevertheless. That said, there are community-maintained ODMs for ArangoDB if you don't want to touch another language to write the queries by hand.

I would strongly recommend giving AQL a try though. When I started using ArangoDB (before becoming a contributor) I was hesitant as well but what quickly won me over was that I was able to read most AQL queries without having to learn an entirely new language.
No, because that will depend on the purpose of a site, what alternative revenue streams there, the site owners' utility preferences between traffic and revenue, what sort of ads there are, what sort of clickthrough rate they have, what the advertising rate is, and so on. At best, you can make a directional generalization: given that people systematically appear to underestimate the effects of ads (they just don't know), there is probably a large but unknown number of people who have overshot the optimal number of ads by an unknown amount, which will be different for each person.

In contrast, the binary variable ads/no-ads appears to have a (surprisingly) consistent effect on general metrics of users/usage, as measured by 5 very different large-scale studies.
I mean, he's not making a prediction on revenue. Gwern is making a statement about traffic. Did your traffic increase ~10%?

From the Pandora paper, (which showed that as more ads were played during pandora sessions, subscriptions were boosted but free users left) it sounds like there's an "optimal advertisement" rate for revenue. Enough to not push away users, but not too much to deter users altogether.
He was a a great CEO, and invested in R&D greatly for a startup that self funded, and more importantly for me, a good person and someone I still consider a friend.

I love Oz, watched every episode during its initial run. But it was not a critical darling at the time.

The bigger sin is not mentioning Larry Sanders. That was a cultural milestone during its time in the same way Sopranos and Sex and City Were. Curbed feels like its spiritual successor.

And of course the one that started it all for HBO in the early 90s, the one that broke the mold for an adult sitcom, from the creators of Friends - Dream On.
Hopefully they accept cryptocurrencies which tarsnap no longer supports.
Isn't this the inverse experiment? The theory that removing ads will increase your user base?
747s are not flying any passengers in the US. They are flying passengers to the US. No US carrier still operates the queen of the skies, though that's mostly due to fuel efficiency. Some US carriers had the 747-400 until a couple years ago when United ditched their last one. I loved flying that bird! A few foreign carriers (Korean, Lufthansa) have the much newer 747-8i, which is a lovely plane but hasn't done well commercially due to those same fuel efficiency concerns.

FWIW you can't think clearly under the influence of rage or other passions.
This is exactly what my group went through. The text channels were nice, but the real killer feature for us was the seamless voice channels. In Skype you had to be very careful to not call the whole group, you had to manually construct voice chats every time. Being able to see who's on and who's hanging out in a voice channel is huge. Wanna play games or just have a chat but nobody else is on right now? Just drop into a voice channel and people can see that you're there so they can jump in without having to pee-arrange anything. Another live saver has been the ability to control, on your side, how you hear other people. Friend has a new mic that's too loud / quiet? You can adjust their volume. Somebody being inconsiderate / distracting? Mute them, or turn their volume down super low.

The general stability was also just fantastic compared to Skype. I used some Skype last year as part of a teaching role and good grief was it torture in comparison. Constant dropping, terrible quality, and painful to arrange.
I believe Adsense policies allow only up to 3 ad units in a page. And after all ads below the fold do not perform that well. I see a lot of ads in long form content/news websites though, which do not receive a lot of pageviews. It's a tradeoff for most
Agreed. Content is king, and I think HBO understands that very well. I go to HBO for curated, high quality entertainment.

I see this less as a business problem and more of a technology problem with regards to their streaming platform. All big platforms suffer (possibly painfully) in the beginning (e.g. Twitter's fail whale), but that's when it's up to business leadership to stay the course, dive into the problem, and commit to solving it on your own. Look at how much emphasis in this article is placed upon HBO getting away from rivals running their platform! Yet a short period ago they surrender in-house operations to MLB AM? Constant pivoting gets you nowhere.

I see AT&T swooping in to "pick up the pieces" as they see it, and the sad conclusion I foresee is exactly what you described.
I have a PhD in visual neuroscience, so yeah, I’m pretty comfortable saying we don’t know how it works.

We know a lot of facts, and we have some ideas about how various small things are implemented, but in terms of grand unifying theories, we’re nowhere close.

For example, suppose I showed you two gratings (think zebra stripes): a small patch and a larger one. Under some circumstances, you’ll have a harder time determining which way the big patch is oriented vs. the small one. This is true even though there’s extra information in the big patch. We think this is related to a phenomena called surround suppression, but they’re not exactly the same....and no one can agree on how surround suppression is implemented, let alone what it’s good for. This happens in primary visual cortex, which is probably the simplest—-and most extensively studied—of the visual cortical areas.

Agreed. I'd say what would be relevant is whether this data is ever transferred to a third-party like Google. If not, I don't quite see the problem. There's a lot of data I gather about myself, and my having access to this kind of metadata would be fantastic.
We're in a golden age of television in part because everyone is producing high-quality shows. For every Deadwood, there's a Justified; True Detective, a Mindhunter. HBO has never been the best place for comedy series and, good as Crashing was, it remains an also-ran there as well.

HBO's quality has been pretty far off its peak for awhile. GoT is a tentpole show with a rabid audience but it's not especially good (it's no The Wire). Deadwood and the Sopranos are from a different era of TV. Veep is great, but True Detective, True Blood, Boardwalk Empire, Enlightened, and The Newsroom would all be in the middle of the pack at Netflix.

More importantly than what Netflix itself creates is the fact that everyone else is creating great TV, and Netflix can just license it. The Americans is better than anything HBO ever produced except The Wire, and it's an FX show. So are Atlanta and Better Things, both better than any HBO comedy series other than Veep. AMC has Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, which arguably are the best thing ever done on TV.

The Deuce is great, but if I have to choose between paying for one show of that caliber per month, or just getting access to stuff like Counterpart, Legion, Get Shorty, Halt and Catch Fire, and Fargo, it's pretty obvious where I'm getting my money's worth.

Which is the big dilemma with HBO's previous strategy. There is too much content that clears the bar HBO set available outside of HBO for them to charge a premium, unless they can keep bottling lightning like they did with GoT, which is not at all a sure bet.
I think we'll be better off as a society if we spend time and resources into automating the jobs that are currently done by humans in dangerous and hazardous situations, rather than automating the job of coffee or pizza making just because "As we see the rising costs of labor, it just makes sense" which employ a large number of unskilled/semi-skilled labor.
To betray their paying customers’ trust on the pennies they would make would be a truly boneheaded move.
This is really good advice. To pile on, big companies tend to pigeon-hole their developers based on company needs, instead of considering developer skill. So a person coming from running a startup is probably going to feel highly constrained from the lack of autonomy and "big picture" involvement.

I'd totally hire a developer with a failed startup. Especially one that managed to stay around for seven years. That indicates to me that they know what they are doing, but the market feel out of their idea for some reason. Lots of great businesses go bankrupt because their product is no longer useful and it's difficult to pivot.

I have conflicting thoughts about Oculus' domination. Last night was an interesting example, Facebook went down and took Oculus with it. But beyond that, if this is going to be the platform of the future, we're going to need more than one company behind it. History tells me that there is a better solution being built in a garage right now. If Lucky Palmer could do it in the 2010's, someone else can be doing it again now. I'd certainly vote for that company to be stand alone.

Have you read The History of the Future (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0062455966) yet?
Sure. But the Ray Miller quote suggests that the issue was not that a modification to make the rudder mechanism more reliable was itself prohibitively expensive from an engineering point of view. Rather, the concern was that making such a modification could open up liability issues, as it would be an acknowledgement that the plane was faulty, and the FAA and Boeing were anxious to avoid being held liable.

That is what I think people find offensive.
I think it will still affect software. Things can always be done faster. I think it'll be like farming where it won't go away but fewer people can do more work.

I can imagine a day where voice recognition can allow marketing folks to just say what they want changed on a website and AI makes the update and asks for confirmation before pushing it live.
> Many more try to invent new constructions on top of the primitives. That's where things go wrong, in practice.

Things go wronger when non-cryptographers try to invent their own primitives, and that's what the saying "don't invent your own crypto" was invented to warn against.
Because it's not that good. It was good for its time, but TV today is different and better than TV was in 1999. People were still watching laugh-track sitcoms when Oz was in its prime.
Imagine you would go to your preferred online marketplace and search for a generic product.

You get 1000+ results.

So you filter by avg.star-rating > 4.0

Still 500+ results.

Those with just one 5 star rating in front of the one with 300 reviews and a 4.8 avg. Annoying.

What I really want:

I would like to filter for products that have at least 5 (relatively long) reviews, an average rating of 4.0 and at least 2 of these review comments mentioning the use case for which I would like to use this product. Maybe I just want the verified purchases to be counted or the reviews of friends and friends of friends...

Using a native multi-model approach you can do both. Simply retrieve all category X products ranked by product rating, limit 50/page or perform advanced lookups - without having to synchronize data from a document or relational model with an additional graph or search engine.

Combining full text search with scorers, graph traversals and/or join operations you could do an ad-hoc query in AQL to get the most relevant products & reviews with a single query.

Multi-model provides choice. In data modeling and querying.

It also lines up pretty well with the fact that a lot of early stage SV-style startups don't monetize before they have a lot of users. You don't want to lose 10% in the early stages of exponential growth. 10% less users later on would not be a big deal however.
