A little bit apocalyptic...

Netflix could loose half of their subscribers, take a massive hit, and still survive... guess that the press love the “X company is doomed!” approach...

Disney entering the streaming area is pretty big, but they still have solid roots in cinema areas. They can’t premiere the next Star Wars movie in streaming without cannibalising it’s ticket sales. Maybe they’ll obliterate other companies, maybe they’ll be successful alongside other players, or maybe it will be a bad move. We don’t know yet. It looks like an interesting offering right now, and probably will be successful, but I don’t get why they need to be so bombastic in their analysis...

Nice! What model do you use?
Git actually sucks - but it's got the right kind of brain damage to really appeal to me. E.g. most VCSes - including SVN, which I started with - treat branches as just folders. This is a clean, elegant abstraction, with low mental overhead. But I still prefer the mess that is git's branches/tags/annotated tags/stashes, it works much better with my ex post facto treatment of branches, and doesn't require me to constantly reopen things as I swap around between branches. (EDIT: This is in fact the main reason I standardized on git when I decided SVN wasn't cutting it anymore!)

The command line interface is an incoherent mess by any objective standard, and I still have to routinely read docs for it. The GUIs are even worse, and scale even worse than the vanilla git command line. Partial workarounds for it's poor scaling like git lfs or git annex are awkward to use, made worse by github's LFS quotas/caps.

A condo in a growing city is very liquid property and easy to sell.

Telling someone to quit or not to would be definitely irresponsible, as I could be doing a lot of damage to your future either way if you ever consider my advice, so I'll refrain from doing so.

Still, in one hand, if you are now having a change of heart, it probably means you are burnt and don't trust your own chance of ever making those '6 figure' look up to you (instead of down on you). On the other hand, you are 30, and for an entrepreneur, 30 is young. No one would expect you to be a millionaire by now.

If you say "but I'm doing this ever since I was 18yo," to that I answer: that was an 18yo trying to do stuff, not an experienced professional. That builds up experience, but given one is starting at such a young age, expecting it to build up results from the get go is optimistic (read really silly here).

So here's what I'd tell you if you were a personal friend: give not being an entrepreneur a try. Find a job, get a reasonable position, and a year from now you will know what you were missing on and what you lost on the transition.

No decision is final when you are 30yo.
Every German city has a program to deploy rat poision once or twice per year
The argument makes sense to me. This is a problem in Australia that is exacerbated by the tax write-offs investors get in the form of what they call Negative Gearing. My possibly flawed laymen's understanding of it is that for each property owned in addition to your primary home, any losses incurred through the ownership of these additional investment properties can be claimed as a tax write-offs. Couple this with short term interest free loans and a continual rise in prices (a trend that may be disappearing, at least temporarily) and the ability to leverage the home you already have, then you encourage speculative investment. Buy now and sell higher in a few years.

It's much harder for first home buyer's to break into the property market by the very fact they don't own property to leverage in the first place. And this isn't necessarily something only particularly wealthy people do. It's become ingrained in Australian society to treat housing as a financial asset and use it to generate wealth. The problem is if you don't already have one, or substantial means to acquire one, you are at a much greater disadvantage.

I only have my own perspective to rely upon after trying and failing to buy a home a few years ago.
Momentum and delay is a market inefficiency. The most efficient market is instantaneous.
They were primarily responsible for the spread of the Black Death/Great Plague, one of the worst pandemics in human history, so yes. And I'd like to point out that the plague still exists[1]. Now imagine what could happen if we just gave rats free rein... I'm all for animal rights and sympathy, but harmful pests need to be suppressed or eradicated in the areas where they can do harm, whether that's rats, mosquitoes, or locusts.

> I believe that all good things taken to an extreme can be self-destructive and that everything must evolve or die. This is now true for capitalism.

Wait....is the author asserting that capitalism at an extreme?

* On average, Americans pay 24% of their income in taxes. [1]

* The top 1% of U.S. taxpayers pay over a third of the federal income tax. [2]

* 19% of Americans are currently on Social Security, a UBI-like program that almost all receive at some time. [3]

* The U.S. provides 13 years of free public schooling, which accounts for the vast majority of all primary and secondary schooling. [4]

* The U.S. food assistance program SNAP feeds 15% of the population. [5]

* In total, government spending is 38% of the GDP. [6]

The United States seems to be rather firmly a mixed economy, not an extremely capitalistic one.

That's kind of the type of user that this project targets.
The idea is to put on the independent creator's hands the power to accomplish motion capture in a flexible and inexpensive way.

The fact that the license will probably keep big companies away doesn't necessarily means that the project can't succeed. Just to name some examples on the non OS environment:

-Slic3r, the tool that virtually started the domestic 3D printing revolution. AGPL license, 8 years of heavy development, 91 contributors and more that 6000 commits on github.

-Blender, the powerful 3D creation tool. GPLv2, 25 years, now receiving good financial support from many top-tier companies and from the community.

I don't know if you took a look at the current Low-cost mocap panorama. It's an interesting environment where many changes are happening. We felt like there was a place for a community driven project.

I don't know any. But would support anything like that.

What we plan now is to finalize erase request, start translations into the most of European languages as well as create some static page for generating those PDFs via entering data via form ... (list of authorities to report would be also great - because, from my experience, most of the results of the request were fails (from the company side))
It’s annoying as a user to juggle subscriptions. If I want to watch something, I have to figure out where it’s available, sign up if I don’t currently have a subscription, worry about forgetting services and having a bunch of monthly payments I’m not using. End result: I watch a lot of YouTube and pretty much gave up on the rest.

Contrast with music, where I have a single subscription and get access to everything I want without having to think about it. The question of what I want to listen to is separate from the question of what service I want to use. I can pick a service based on price and features instead of juggling a bunch of different ones.
The data policy of Polar is unacceptable to me. I’d like to be able to read PDF’s without third party connections to multiple sites, which Polar seems to do. I once spent part of an afternoon looking at where I’d need to remove analytics, only to find that there are so many places that it wasn’t worth my time. Further, some of the dependencies have their own google analytics tracking, which makes Polar a minefield of privacy issues.

I think the idea of the software is great in theory, but I just can’t justify constant phoning home when I can easily read PDF’s through any other (privacy-respecting) PDF reader.
Only if you assume the current population of the city is held steady and you are not beaten out by new arrivals.

Every law of basic economics exists only under very narrow conditions where all but one factor is controlled. Expecting the real world to conform to theoretical models is about as sensible as looking for rocks that happen to be perfect platonic solids. Pointing this out is not a rejection of economics any more than pointing to the variegation of rocks indicates a dislike of geometry.
Here, I found this by searching for "cow file sync":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copy-on-write

>Copy-on-write (CoW or COW), sometimes referred to as implicit sharing[1] or shadowing,[2] is a resource-management technique used in computer programming to efficiently implement a "duplicate" or "copy" operation on modifiable resources.[3] If a resource is duplicated but not modified, it is not necessary to create a new resource; the resource can be shared between the copy and the original. Modifications must still create a copy, hence the technique: the copy operation is deferred to the first write. By sharing resources in this way, it is possible to significantly reduce the resource consumption of unmodified copies, while adding a small overhead to resource-modifying operations.
Hydrogen can be made from H2O, and abundant cheap electricity, which you would get from over building renewables to cover the lulls, because it is variable.

You say we can't wait a decade or 2. To return to Hinckley Point C, it was announced in 2010, a nuclear licence was granted in 2012. Construction is due to begin this year, it is planned to start actually generating somewhere between 2025 and 2027. Do we have time for that? That's 15 years minimum, how many wind turbines could you build in that time? You could build both, but then the turbines risk cannibalising the market for nuclear before its even built, and then you're betting that none of the energy storage technologies are going to pan out. Yes hydrogen is a long shot, and lithium batteries probably won't be cheaper, or compressed air, or bio fuels, or CO2 to methane, and cars probably won't end up getting used for smart storage, and the smart grid probably won't take off. But saying none of them will work? And then look at the price curve for wind and solar, what will they cost in 15 years time?

If we had the nuclear power stations now, fine, but they aren't here now, they're 15 years away. In 15 years we can build a lot of solar and wind thats getting cheaper and cheaper and we can try a lot of energy storage mechanisms too.

And investors are going to be thinking the same, so they won't want to front the money, so it's up to government, but that adds bureaucracy, time, cost and somewhere in there a recession or a government that can't justify spending billions for jam tomorrow, so funds get cut, etc, etc, etc.

I entered this thread saying cost was the issue. Even if we ignore that, the political battles over such a long time frame are massive. Over and above the battles to make the case for fighting climate change. 'Greens' aren't even united on the issue, let alone a nation, over a generation.

So to me the unproven storage bet is the better bet.
This appears not to be a machine made by Amazon, but rather a commercially available machine called CartonWrap 1000 made by an Italian firm named CMC Srl. According to news reports I found online, Amazon is piloting the machines in its warehouses, however. (Edit: I wrote this in reply to the original article title which described the machine as Amazon's.)

The effect on waste should be interesting. I assume that everyone who has ordered a product online has had the experience of receiving that product in a box that was quite a bit larger; that happens because standard shipping processes use a limited and pre-determined set of cardboard box sizes. If you look on the box somewhere, you should see a label like "1A5" which is the box size. With past technology, you had to round up to the next largest box that fits the product, which sometimes leaves quite a bit of waste, both in cardboard and the packing material (plastic pillows) used to fill up large voids in the box. It looks like this machine can cut boxes exactly to the product dimensions, which will presumably save both on box and filler material to lower costs, and generate less waste.

30 years on and I've used
make, imake, autotools, cmake, ant, gradle, boost.jam (because every C++ library really should have its own individual custom build tool-chain), scons, ninja, and maybe the least bad was a very nice system internal to ILM (though it was purpose written for building C++ & python targets). These days I'm using bazel the most, and while it can be forced into working, it's pretty miserable (and requires support of about 5 people on a dedicated build team). It does not bring software developers joy.

A group/language/team decides "that's it, I hate build tool X, we're going to solve this problem", and they go build their thing, but they care about different details and make some things easy, handle some things automatically, and leave other things as "just don't care" with the resulting tool ends being just like all the previous ones.

I'd be willing to wager lots of money that in future years there will be many more build systems, and they too will perfectly match their predecessors.

I find memes to be often low effort half/quarter-truths or no truth at all and their humor lies within the irony that they aren't true at all. What is the impact on society when people in masses are consuming and entertaining themselves with this "content"?

> I recently cancelled my Netflix again because despite a flood of new shows, all feel incredibly generic and formulaic.

Altered Carbon, Love Death Robots, Russian Doll, all recent standout Netflix originals.

Heck even their Anime is on point, and I am not the largest fan of Anime cliches. Castlevania was incredible, and Ultraman was above average.

Flavorful Origins is the best food show I've ever seen.

But then again, I only watch ~4-6 hours of TV a month, so a trickle of high quality content is just fine.
Like exactly what? You haven't qualified anything here. You just claimed I am wrong because of what? What adverts, what is happening? This is a very vague claim.

Vague claim? Not at all.

I was asking myself if I should actually bother to even answer, but then decided to invest a couple of minutes into some very basic DDG searches. You can find some results below.

Let me assure you that there's a ton more, if you just bother to open your eyes.

I close my argument here, since anything else would be either counter productive or violate site guidelines.

But please don't accuse me of sprouting vague claims or not qualifying my arguments just because you seem more interested in a timely Uber or a cheap stay and fuck all the consequences.

Make them a list of hard "no" items.

Tell them no porn, no clicking on pop up ads, no cheezy viral articles with click bait titles, etc.

If you can visit them in person, check their computer for malware.

Find out what they want to use the internet for and help them create a white list. If they have enough safe ways to satisfy their needs, there is less temptation to randomly venture forth into things they don't really understand.

Yes, that's a problem with capitalism. What is your proposed solution, and how is it faster/easier than construction, and how many people will it get off the street?
Use a Bedazzler to put rhinestones on it, get Damien Hirst to sign it, name it "For the Love of Technology", and it should sell for $50 million.

Get Banksy to light it on fire and the molten slag should sell for at least $100 million. :)

That's nice but the upmarket shortage is adding to the downmarket (substitute good) shortage. If a techie and a waiter each need an apartment, but the city doesn't permit two apartments to be built, they shouldn't be surprised what happens.
My simplest laptop in current use has 4 times more memory than my current phone and I probably would need to make huge compromises to live with half as much. A lot of the chips in phones don't even have external memory buses. A top-of-the-line iPad Pro sports an 8-core asymmetrical core design, with 4 fast cores and 4 slow ones and, overall, is slower than a 2-core Core M-based MacBook (although it feels great because iOS does a lot less than macOS).

Also, Apple doesn't make its own A-series processors - it uses TSMC for that.
> That's preposterous. People (for the most part) don't just sit around writing fake reviews for companies they have no dealings with.

I have several anecdotes from small business owners who'd tell you otherwise.
On the other hand, it's better than the alternative with cable providers where your only choices are the cheap, basic package with only 12 channels, or the really expensive package with >100 channels, of which you'll only ever watch a couple. Juggling multiple subscriptions is annoying, yes, but at least you can pick and choose what content you want to pay for.

Personally, Netflix has more than enough content for me to watch, so that's the only video subscription service I still pay for.
It's not about parents being dumb. Some of these attacks are very manipulative and convincing.

Those numbers are Intel's "Recommended Customer Price", not actual retail prices. The -F parts really are listed with the same RCP as the parts with GPUs enabled. No, it doesn't make much sense, but Intel has been experiencing a CPU manufacturing crunch, and the desktop market gets the short end of the stick when that happens.

Housing isn't a perfect theoretical commodity like gold or stocks. Every unit has an occupation cost (heat/utilities, commuting costs and such). Every new building must pay for its construction costs, which is tied heavily to interest rates. So there are limits as to how cheap any housing unit can become before it ends up sitting vacant, waiting for the market to catch up with it.
The reason they are having problems is that they just continued doing die shrinks and speculation hacks to increase performance. They've essentially had the same core since sandy bridge.

They didn't see zen coming, didn't have to compete with bulldozer, and thought they could just keep shrinking rather than building a new core design. Once they hit 10nm, they failed, and their old core got some healthy competition from zen. Now AMD is looking to take a serious lead with zen 2, aka ryzen 3000 series.

I don't think Moore's law is dead, Intel just gave up on real r&d because it was cheaper.

I can't wait for arm and risc v to enter the playing field.

So to the manufacturing engineers around here, is this actually impressive? Because it's definitely impressive on the "this is a really cool machine" level but I was left with a nagging feeling that it wouldn't actually be all that useful.

The input seems to be single items that are regtangular-ish within a certain size and don't need any wrapping, padding, or air bags. This probably describes a lot of Amazon's products but for this use-case wouldn't a machine that wraps the item between two sheets of plastic on rolls be easier/cheaper?

Is this a stepping stone to the machine that can handle multiple/delicate/irregular items?
