During the "golden age" of Hollywood in the 30s-40s, the studios would crank out one movie per week. Stars would often appear in 3 movies per year. Today, stars shoot a film every 3 years or so. E.g. take a look here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_RKO_Pictures_films#194...

In 1940, RKO released 55 films, of which they produced 39. That's basically a film per week. And these were feature films.

For the individual stars, take a look at Humphrey Bogart, who starred in 3 films in 1941: The Maltese Falcon, The Wagons Roll at Night, High Sierra. I don't think there was a year in the 40s up to the mod 50s when Bogart didn't star in at least 2 releases per year. In 1951 he was in The African Queen, Sirocco, and The Enforcer.

Today, take a major studio, say Paramount Pictures. It released 11 films in all of 2018.

What happened was JAWS created the 'blockbuster' phenomena, in which the studios made huge money on a small number of very expensive films with huge marketing budgets compared to previous eras. That totally changed the dynamic. It also made actor pay shoot up.

But it has nothing to do with the cost of the prints -- just strategy of whether you want to make a small number of films with tons of marketing spend like in the post JAWS era or a large number of cheaper to produce films with small marketing budgets like the pre-JAWS era.

In many ways, what is happening with TV and Netflix is akin to a return to the studio model but for episodes, where Netflix seems to be able to crank out a large number of relatively cheap but decent quality episodes, and this of course corresponds to lower actor pay per episode.
Damn that's harsh. They're still your family!
Dunno about anyone else, but I, for one, only like things from people I actually know, regardless how much I appreciate or enjoy the content posted in an ad, by an influencer, or by a company.
I had no idea there were so many Starcraft players on hn. This thread reminds me of team liquid :)
std::move itself doesn't define what state the object ends up in. The object's type defines that. So it is both undefined (by std::move) and well-defined (by the concrete type). The standard simply requires a moved-from object to still have a valid destructor, but types are free to (and do!) allow for more than that to still be valid.

The default move constructor does not zero out the rhs. It simply does a std::move on each of the fields, which for all the primitive types is simply a copy, including for bare pointers. For example this:

struct Foo { int a; void* b; };

int main() {
Foo f{ 20, (void*) 0xBADBEEF };
Foo f2 = std::move(f);
printf("f[%d, %p], f2[%d, %p]\n", f.a, f.b, f2.a, f2.b);
return 0;
}

will print this:
f[20, 0xbadbeef], f2[20, 0xbadbeef]

There is no active zero-ing or "empty" state at any point unless the specific class defines that its move does that. unique_ptr defines that get() will be nullptr after-move, for example, but that's something unique_ptr itself is specifically defining.

I agree with you on the importance of interpersonal relationships; however, U.S. K-12 teaching is hardly a model of consistency when it comes to quality, experience, and availability (there was a projected 110K teacher shortage last school year). What if the choice for parents and students was between Sal Khan and an dispassionate teacher, substitute teacher, or underpaid and under-supported teacher?
It's not black-and-white.

The hypocrisy of the NYT as an institution does not invalidate their points about Google. However, their points about Google do not make their own practices any better.

It is also true that individual journalists and opinion authors don't get to decide how the NYT operates. However, they do get to choose what they write about -- and by broadly emphasizing Google's policies and by broadly ignoring the policies of institutions like the NYT, journalists risk rephrasing the cultural debate over privacy as "normal people vs big tech" rather than, "normal people vs big tech, the government, publishers, and the entire ad industry".

Journalists do not have a responsibility to force their publishers to change, nor is it a problem for them to write articles that focus on Google. However, journalists do have a responsibility to research and understand the broader topics they are reporting on -- and it is not incorrect for readers to observe that we're seeing a trend of journalists who are remarkably hesitant to apply the same level of reporting scrutiny toward publishers and news organizations that they do towards other institutions.

It's also not black-and-white whether this criticism is counter-productive. To the extent that it shelters companies like Google and plays into "whataboutism" -- yes, it's a problem.

However, criticism of this nature is also the reason why NYT as a publisher has recently started to get more self-aware of their own practices[0]. If journalists see criticism of this nature and it makes them more likely to report on publisher privacy policies, that's productive. If institutions like the NYT get criticized and it leads to them internally examining and changing some of their own privacy policies, that's very productive.

I'm saying we shouldn't be satisfied with "that behavior should be illegal for both parties" when one party is much more likely to be injured or killed than the other. Pedestrians should be careful regardless of the law, but the law should focus on drivers, specifically.

Very much appreciate your thoughts as it seems you have really walked this path.
Netflix doesn't make the sausage and they don't care about how it's made. They pay people a lot of money to do it, and that's about it. They're in the business of distributing the sausage. They also buy a lot of bulk sausage that they found at a sausage festival, meaning they had no stake before it was made.

This is quite literally the opposite of the truth...

Netflix makes a lot of the "sausage". They use roughly the same organizational and production structure that the other big studios use to make and distribute films. They have some of the biggest studio spaces in Hollywood, behind only Disney/Fox, Universal, Sony, and Paramount. If you live in the LA area, you can actually visit some of their studios (though generally to tour the facilities you need to arrange for a tour in advance).

The primary difference is in how Netflix pays for the films: Netflix pays extra upfront, with no backend. The studios payout participants over time.
Amazing. You learn something new everyday. Though it does make sense why blocking it won't serve any purpose as form submissions are going thru anyway.

Also glad I didn't mention jsonp. God knows what the devs at ournewbankingapp would do with that one ;)

> You can't replace early childhood interpersonal relationships with a computer.

Ha. Kids can interact with computers (or rather, tablets) earlier than they meaningfully interact with people. So not only is the replacement possible, it is already ongoing. The only question is how productive the computer-based interaction is going to be. Educational content handily beats weird AI-generated video-clickbait.

I appreciate your reply. But frankly, why would someone "accidentally" copy something by value?

I don't mean to sound arrogant but if someone is writing C++ at a level where he/she does accidental copies then that's a very clear sign to me to stay the hell away from move semantics and other advanced features.

I personally find things being copied by default a nice feature. It's more consistent than "PODs by value, objects by reference" such as in Java.

fascinating reply format. i guess i feel like there should be some set standard of min qualification and if a person meets it, access should be considered granted. An 'interview' is someone anxiety inducing for some remote folks. We may want more interaction, but not necessarily to the level you are at. Good luck with it all though.

No, you do shallow copies by using pointers or references. No move required.
This has been in place since 10.6 Snow Leopard. It's part of their built-in anti-malware system (MRT + XProtect + Gatekeeper).

True, in the example I gave above, the first part of the commute was on quiet neighborhood streets, that part was pleasant even with no bike lanes (the neighborhood even had speed bumps to keep traffic speed down), it was the last 1.5 miles where I had to cross the freeway and ride on an a narrow road with fast traffic where it became unpleasant.

Logitech also runs a local webserver. It's listening on port 4800. I've never even used a Logitech video conference. I do have a Logitech camera though, so perhaps this is from the driver.

This used to be true in Amsterdam but has really shot up in recent years due to E-Bikes. In some areas every 5th or 10th bike is now an E-Bike, which are easily €700-1200 second-hand.
If cookies were scoped to the (source, target) pair, then that would remove one of the main motivations for CORS, yes: evil.com would not be able to get any information from bank.com by making your browser make the request that they could not get by doing the request server-side.

There's a second problem CORS kinda tries to solve, which is the ambient authority problem: services that run behind firewalls and assume that if someone can reach them the someone should have access. If someone runs a browser behind the firewall and opens a page on unsafe side of the firewall, that page can then issue network requests from the browser and thus end up access things on the "safe" side of the firewall. This is a large part of why CORS has the whole preflight complication and the rules around when preflights happen: the idea is that in this situation just making the request, not even receiving a response, is potentially damaging. There are the carve-outs for requests that could be generated without things like XHR that are subject to CORS (e.g. by doing a form submission or <img> load or whatnot); if your ambient-authority-using server responds in interesting ways to those, CORS is not going to help you... The _right_ fix for this stuff, of course, is for services to stop using ambient authority and/or for browsers to block requests from public sites to private IPs. Unfortunately in practice detecting "private IPs" reliably is not trivial, because fundamentally it depends on the routing and firewall topology, which the browser doesn't really know about.

It might be not-super-difficult to prove that primorials larger than 5040 always do satisfy the inequality, due to the fairly simple structure of primorials. I was never great at analysis, so I don't see how to do it offhand, but I suspect it is significantly easier than the full RH.
That's Apple's closed garden, even when they allow you to sideload application, they still have the ultimate decision. Of course it's not malware, but probably enough users have vulnerable software which could be remotely exploited, that they decided to blacklist it.

After that PR spin in response to threat disclosure in the original article, I am very skeptical of Zoom's PR machine.

> Zoom spokesperson Priscilla McCarthy told TechCrunch: “We’re happy to have worked with Apple on testing this update. We expect the web server issue to be resolved today. We appreciate our users’ patience as we continue to work through addressing their concerns.”

Yeah, I bet.
When two sides see each other as “irrational,” conflict is inevitable, and notions of rationality are coopted to promote the interests of the more dominant force. I fail to see how protest or even intentional damage to property is worse than to date 15 cyclist deaths (intentional or otherwise) in NYC this year. I’m tired of people acting like owning both a car and a bike somehow makes them objective in this conflict, when the whole point of contention is that there are simply too many cars on our streets. I will gladly accept infinite downvotes on this site if I can get like-minded people to Google “stop de kindermoord” and consider adopting more radical tactics to take back our streets.
Nowhere did I "police" your opinion. You are the one who doesn't support people's ability to buy deflationary assets.

Instead I was calling your opinion bad and in opposition to free choice.

How is owning crypto any different than just owning a commodity, which can be deflationary?

And why would owning a commodity be "evil"?

> Personally I don't like the idea of idolizing celebrities and the wealthy just because.

That's fair, me neither.

> The whole point of an "influencer" is to become as popular as possible on the internet to make themselves feel self important and to make money.

I think that might be the goal of crappy influencers, but most of them are just trying to monetize the content they create so they can continue to create that content. Yes, there are some whose success does not seem correlated with the quality of their content or the effort they put into it. That might be part of the reason they draw so much ire.

>I can't fathom how this is enviable or why people desire to give them money.

Technology democratizes the ability to publish content and measure traffic. Now everyone can quantify how many eyeballs they are commanding, and they can sell access to those eyeballs.
I’m quite far from the ongoing Go community discussions, but this seems to be a perfect example?

> We’ve discusses this internally and decided...

As one commenter on the PR points out, they’ve discussed it internally, now it’s time to discuss as a community, but this issue has still been closed.

I don’t have an opinion on the actual topic here, but if Google don’t want to be perceived as doing whatever they like with Go and not involving the community, then they have to at least have these discussions. Even if they come to the table with strong opinions and good reasons, keeping up the appearance of community involvement like in this issue creates a culture of Go being community driven, and right now that culture is lacking.
If you live in a place that has a strong tech market, then reselling is worth it (on craigslist).

Apple gear resells really well, in Palo Alto I usually get 60-70% of the cost on resale. In some instances this makes it worth it to buy new gear every year (particularly with phones) to maximize the resale value and keep new hardware.

When I lived in Buffalo I couldn't sell anything.

Right, so the terminology is not accurate because you're not technically dating your cofounder, but... you still have to start "dating" someone to become cofounders eventually.
Quote: "One could quibble about creativity, but it’s generally thought in Hollywood that the last great comedy franchise to launch was The Hangover, created in 2009. There have been a few others, like Pitch Perfect and 21 Jump Street, but those both came out around the same time, in 2012. There effectively have been no comedy smash hits in for nearly a decade."</endquote>

Are you kidding me? Last great comedy was The Hangover? Does the author of the article ever heard of Toy Story 4 (now in theaters), Secret life of pets 1 & 2, Ralph Breaks the Internet, Zootopia etc etc? Granted, they are animated movies versus live action like The Hangover but they are movies, big ones, made by Hollywood, with a plethora of A list actors voicing the characters. The fact that they are animated is irrelevant, because the taste of the public always evolves. That's why action flicks of the '80s are no longer enough to entertain us, and they seem a cliche instead. We, the consumers, became more sophisticated, our taste evolved and demanding better quality for our money. Therefore the creativity went where was required, where the public demand it, not to be stuck in the same style of movies. Otherwise John Wayne's style of Western movies would still roll on big screen. Tell me, when was the last time such a Western made it big on box office? I tell you instead that HBO's Westworld is very much a Western style show that I deeply enjoy. That's where the creativity went! To be in the same pace as our modern, more subtle, taste.

This is an update to Apple's Malware Removal Tool (MRT) blacklist.
Considering the issues posed by adversarial examples, it's really not.
aka nerd tats. (mine has about 90% coverage.)
I haven’t read the latest version, but early versions had a mechanism for kernel entries that was too simple. An interrupt that happened right after a kernel entry but before any instructions executed would be unrecoverable. A good CPU design should help enough with exceptions and interrupts that state won’t be lost.

As an example of the wrong approach, x86’s SYSENTER just switches to kernel mode and updates the program counter. x86’s interrupts are better — they push all clobbered state to the stack.
good catch! i believe this was a misstatement and have requested we change this wording. for the time being what’s on the docs is what we have https://www.netlify.com/docs/analytics/
Beyond the unsolicited reinstallation (== malware) behavior other commenters rightly mentioned, the entire existence of the vulnerable server was a hack to work around a Safari security feature. Zoom wanted to eliminate an extra user click, required by Safari to confirm that it was OK to invoke a local application based on the public zoom link. This server was an implementation of that security "workaround".

That makes this server at least doubly malware. And "vulnerability" understates the case: a negligent implementation that utterly disregarded any security concerns should be considered beyond the pale. That times 1000 for a major software vendor like Zoom.
The update from today updates the MRT configuration data.
It still has potential of being hugely unfair when only receiving everything ordinary server broadcasts. As an example in World of Tanks server sends "a tree has fallen" to the client even if said tree is behind 50 other trees, totally in theoretical field of view! = there are cheats letting you know about unseen enemy movement. Then we get to previous blunder, is APM still averaged over last 5 seconds? FAQ carefully omits any numbers, merely promising "more restrictive than demonstration matches".

Personally I am not a fan of training our future slave masters how to efficiently kill human targets.
I haven’t checked, but are you looking at the version of the binary itself, or the MRT signature files it uses
