Naturally from a tech standpoint, not different.

There is a meaningful tech-independent difference though, with regard to the motives of an individual vs. Starbucks/Hilton

We trust Hilton wifi because there is some mutual understanding that if it were found out Hilton was installing hidden cameras in the bedrooms and accessing our personal information via wifi hacking, they'd suffer heavily (wrt. social media backlash, civil lawsuits, reduction in customers, compliance with new policy/oversight groups, etc.). Basically such a move would be detrimental to their bottom-line. Also these businesses are public spaces with a staff of employees who overlook each-other's work. I assume people are much less likely to implement some sneaky scheme like installing a hidden camera at their workplace rather than in the privacy of their own residence.

Should I be more weary about connecting to the wifi at some local co-op jazz cafe vs. Starbucks is exactly what I'd like to know. Is a man-in-the-middle hack something a script-kid could easily pull off, or is there more to it?
Calling it “still got screwed” is a bit dishonest. The story goes “a company got sold at a huge loss” and sure execs and founders still made some money even though it was at a loss, but apparently Amazon feels that these people are a large part of the remaining value in the company, so without those bonuses to retain key employees, the company wouldn’t even have gotten the 97Mil.
It is getting bad though. Less piracy means it’s much harder to find long tail films. The number of seedless torrents on private trackers is much higher now than it used to be.
There is a streaming platform Rakuten Viki (quite popular among Korean drama lovers) which already has a language learning tools as a part of the product. I haven't used it personally because they are focusing on Korean, which is not my language choice, but it looked quite nice.

Also they have a subtitling community - any user can contribute to shows translation.

I am struggling to understand why Netflix is not thinking about that. It would greatly improve the experience and, probably, user base too.
> I mean, c'mon -- people live in basement apartments in Manhattan too, it's not that bad.

The underground space discussed by the OP article were actually designed/built/maintained as shelters for nuclear war. They are not fancy Manhattan apartments, you can't get it connected with broadband/water through official channels. If someone lives there, their kids can't even go to local public schools, as they are never considered as local residents.

There are of course actual basement apartments in Beijing, but a 70 sqm basement apartment can has a price tag of $1.5 million USD [1]. That is something for the middle class, not those people mentioned in the OP article.

There's a list of articles at the bottom
Figure that an EMP attack from high altitude could be defended against, at critical infrastructure levels with the same sort of technology used to prevent flash blindness among nuclear bomber pilots.

Polarized Lead Zirconium Titanate (PLZT) goggles are able to render themselves dark before the flash of a nuclear blast can harm one's eyes. You have to figure the visible spectrum flash travels at the speed of light, along with the rest of the electromagnetic energy dumped by a particular weapon.

While EMP attacks might not "flash" in the visible spectrum in the same way an atomic or thermonuclear bomb might, the principle is probably similar, in that the pulse can be detected and electronic could be rendered safe before damage could penetrate live, energized circuits.
4 out of 6 of those movies are available for free on a popular streaming site.

I've read that Netflix is simply not interested in offering movies, preferring tv series. When I subscribed (in Europe) the selection was very limited.
Sports teams buy pro athletes from teams that loose all the time.

Why? Because the players themselves are world class even though their team is loosing. One player on their own is never enough to secure victory for the entire team. So you can’t inversly put the fault of a loose entirely on every individual player.

The storage media was floppy; all “floppy disks” were fairly rigid (though the 3.5” moreso than the larger ones.)

The case? Not really. Neither was the 8”, though they were less rigid than the 3.5”. The actual media was on all of them, and is what the term referred to.
I think that’s a very good rule. All these drugs are tools for self exploration and spirituality. MDMA is great for deepening the connection with your partner. (The others are too, to a lesser extend.) I would also add DMT and 2CB to that list.

No.

Neither do I like being harassed by various banners to switch to redesign (recently sliding banners for "amazing" dark mode and infinite scrolling) or even finding it was loaded by force randomly during browsing random content and that seems to be happening way too often to count it as "accident".

I get the idea behind this: they set themselves a goal of luring in new people by making UI more attractive to the audience who's familiar with social network interfaces and such way of providing content (the default card is just same as twitter, facebook and instagram feed view). Still, they should still respect users who want to stay on faster-loading old interface and provide it as an option in preferences (old domain is just half-assed way to do it), not assuming that everyone will be enjoying this new UI.

It's incredible and pathetic how color-handling has regressed since the early '90s.

Windows 3.1 through XP had system-wide, user-configurable color schemes. You could set up a non-inverse (what today is being touted as "dark mode") color scheme in a few minutes and all applications would honor it. You could do the same in Unix GUIs. Only the Mac forced its glaring inverse-video scheme on you 24/7.

Now, inexplicably, Windows has ELIMINATED the ability to set up a global color scheme, and Apple has delivered this half-assed, hard-coded workaround after 40 years. This after Apple was challenged at WWDC in the early 2000s for their lack of color schemes, and feigned total ignorance that anyone would want them.

Recently I tried using an ORM "properly" for a bigger application. I tried for days to fix the performance problems, which were mainly caused by serialization/deserialization overhead because of humongous generated queries where I didn't need 90% of the info.

I finally gave up, and now most of the ORM usage in the codebase is just to communicate my custom queries to the underlying database and translate to/from domain entities. I feel like this is the sweet spot―give me a thin abstraction over SQL and do the gruntwork of converting domain entities to tables and vice-versa, but nothing else, thanks.

I'm still unhappy about the performance (when everything is in the working set, query takes 2ms and returns a couple of rows but the whole API call, which doesn't do much except massage the response to some kind of JSON, takes 30ms!), but that's on me for my ORM/language/runtime choice, I suppose.
I think Nietzsche is one of the writers where it really makes sense to read the German original side by side with your translation. He's a master with words, which you can appreciate a lot more if you understand his play with words. It's like watching the dubbed German version of a Netflix series, if you saw the original you cannot go back anymore.

Bye bye and good riddance to "near beer." Celebrate with cold bubbly IPA, or perhaps a stout.
I disagree. Sure, power rules the world, everyone knows it and knew it before Nietzsche, "good" and "bad" are the results of the choice of people to tune up or down their desire for individualistic power over other's people good. I fail to see how Nietzsche is innovative on our understanding of this, I mean that's even the core teaching of christian philosophy.

What's original in Nietszche thought is not that power rules the world and that people are longing for it, it is the challenge of the western and christian values that power and individualism is "bad".
Oh even just usage instructions. Like what are the navigation controls, etc. I zoned some things and laid down some road and wasn't sure what or when to expect it. Some of the bugs as well make me unsure if my expectations are wrong or if it's just a bug (e.g. vehicle traffic not appearing, roads and zoning going in weird shapes). Some of the links in the top-level readme are 404 as well.

All in all I'm sure I'll spend a ton of time playing the game itself and playing with the source.
> The concept of resisting government requests for information is well established.

Well established for whom? For many poor Americans, the thought of resisting a local PD seems impossible, let alone a federal agent who comes knocking. Try to imagine being on your night shift at a rural Motel 6 when a few strange individuals start waving badges, making requests, maybe threatening to escalate things if you don't play along. Maybe you would have the courage to stand up to them, but I think a lot of people would fall to the pressure and abide by the request. One big difference is privilege.

I believe ICE should be responsible for illegally attaining this information. They should also bear the cost of educating the Motel 6 workforce on their rights to resist requests from law enforcement agencies.
They're obviously heading toward the moment when redesign will be the default interface without way to opt-out (which is already happening to some of the people who managed to trap themselves by this "dark mode" banner acc. to r/redesign comments) and I assume neither old domain will be working at some point and removal will be explained by some ridiculous statement that it's inefficient to keep 2 interfaces, users are happily adapted to use new style (having no other choice) or something similar.
Assumption that only private consumers consume fashion, trends and "Pepsi generations" is wrong.

Corporate management, consulting and engineering subfields are made of people
who don't check out from their personal needs when they work. Hype cycles, fashions, scenes and subcultures exist in software engineering just like they exist in corporate management and consulting. People want new and change.

SQL is the best for most database needs, but not for everything. It may seem boring if there is no marketing push that connects to emotions. SQL was established and boring for new software engineers. The emergence of "Web 2.0" in early 2000s started hype cycle for no-SQL. The 'scene' was so emotionally engaging that enterprises were abandoning SQL databases because "they don't scale" and because that's what their developers wanted to work with.
>Fun fact: Samsung made the chip for the first iPhone. Steve Jobs was so dissatisfied with the experience that Apple bought PA Semi to design the chips in-house.

I thought PA Semi's specialty was in power management and many didn't consider the acquisition a success as most key figures left the company not too long after the acquisition. Are you sure that Apple actually designed the SOC in-house? Wasn't it Intrinsity, Samsung's collaborator, that co-developed Samsung's Hummingbird core (also used in Apple's A4) to compete with Qualcomm's APs and go beyond the 1Ghz barrier, changed the game?

I always thought the Hummingbird was the breakthrough that made the A chips competitive -- Apple bought Intrinsity afterward.
Yes, I have some really clever friends who still attend church but at least here in the UK they are the exception.

I teach most (dynamic) functional programming constructs by starting with SQL.

Python comprehensions, etc. are mostly just SQL -- likewise most languages where "map" is part of the collections API.

SQL motivates the utility of functional programming for data-oriented applications.

It supposed to emphasise that in matters of ethics, when we have strong arguments for a particular position their isn't a need to invite weak arguments for position on the basis of promoting 'thought diversity'.

For instance on an Animal and Food ethics board it doesn't make sense to accomodate someone who denies the moral relevance of animals, because that is an indefensible view in modern philosophy. Their increasing the "diversity" of the viewpoints on the board would be of negative value, not positive value.

It is the same sort of situation here.

Though to be fair, our expectations on what dark energy will do aren’t very well grounded.

We already have inflation and dark energy but no good reason to expect either of them to be there at all.

Buy a breadboard[1] and some components and build some flasher circuits. This 555 circuit is a nice first circuit. http://www.555-timer-circuits.com/flashing-led.html

Change the resistors R1 and R2 to different values (or use potentiometers) to see how they affect the flashing - you should see one changes the on time and the other changes the off time (the mark:space ratio). You need to see this because it helps understand "multiplexing" -- you strobe the LEDs because it saves power.
