Same here. I find that I've turned to Youtube to satisfy any content cravings. It's not perfect, suggestions sometimes never have anything to do with what I've been watching the past 12 hours, Youtube's algorithms have a clear bias against certain content and sometimes I can't bother to wade through pages and pages of slosh to find what I know fits my tastes, but at this point I have a good idea of the search terms to use when I want something to watch, and if all else fails I can always just rewatch an ancient creator's old content.

Meanwhile on Netflix, it is nearly impossible to find what interests me by just turning it on and flipping through the initial feed. It also feels like there is never enough of the content I want to watch. I found 'Kingdom', 'Love,Death and Robots' and 'Sex Education' completely by accident, and on ending each series and falling in love with their concepts, I get exhausted when I see there is no season 2, because it means it will probably be a while until I hit the jackpot again. Even one of my favorites - 'Black Mirror', seems to be dropping in quality.

I haven't opened Netflix in 2 months and probably will cancel my sub soon because the wait it just not worth the price.

So if you listed your car on Craigslist for $150 instead of the $15,000 you intended you’d honor the offer and not explain to buyers what had happened?
It's an appraisal of the article in relation to the original comment. What western companies do in China so far seems to be siloed from what happens in other regions, just like what happens in EU, given sufficiently incompatible regulations. Especially ones that are costly to enforce. It doesn't make it cool or justified, it just makes these appealing slippery slopes arguments not grounded in evidence.

As for the moral flag, I think in context of Sino-US topics, that ship has sailed long ago. It's more useful to contextualize these decisions in a geopolitical / great powers competition lense. Having Google in China is good soft power opportunity for the US. Chinese people are eager for a baidu alternative. I'm not going to pretend that more engagement with China is going to lead to liberalization in the short-term, but I do think it goes a long way towards preventing future hostilities. And I think google being incentivized to operate in China and becoming proficient in bridging the Chinese-open web is a net good.
I just assume everything, hence why I don't use it. Paranoid much? Maybe, but it doesn't mean I'm wrong ;-) Knowing the ethos of Google, I don't trust it any further than I can throw it.
You can, and it probably won’t get deleted immediately. However, if even a novice Wikipedia editor comes long and finds is suspect, there will likely be a deletion request. The process for deletion varies; depending on the path taken, you might have a chance to argue against it, or it might just be deleted.
I left Netflix because they kept cancelling shows I liked after two seasons and continued to pump out low quality garbage. I think they might be incorrect in their assumptions at this point about just how valuable their offerings are, which isn't very. They have no real good movies, not even old movies, their television shows aren't generally worth getting invested in because they'll cancel them unless it's a super big hit. Why bother sticking around when Hulu or Philo offers more for the same money?
could you elaborate on how that is supposed to work? how would a dependence on a fork help with the maintainer transfer risk?
Netflix content these days feels like Madlibs. Take actor X in setting Y with the problem Z.
Nah, the blowback they'd get from not honoring the purchasing would be terrible. More generally, Amazon are one of the few companies who understand that short term losses can lead to long-term goodwill and profit.

So anyway, my prediction is that they will do nothing about your purchase.
I find it ironic that someone so concerned about hidden cameras is advocating hack attacks on the host's network.
I run an Airbnb, no cameras, not even on the door. The only sensor I have is on the Nest thermostat to automatically turn off heating when no one is present.
I expect the courtesy of my network not being hacked into by some wannabe hacker.

> “For some reason coverage tends not to ask the question of how are Russians planning to deal with the potential problem of U.S. intelligence being all over their system in Turkey.”

Seems very weak, I’ll guess the cost of the two systems differ by an order or two of magnitude. If true this argument is naive or obfuscatory.
The unfortunate thing is that heuristics will achieve 50%, 75%, and 90% of truth with much lower energy costs, and not everyone's energy budget can afford the full cost of truth.
At what size company would your ethics require you to reverse course and treat them the way you would like to be treated if you had made the mistake?
Well if they are living paycheck to paycheck then that is helpful for financial planning. Especially when 'shopping around' calls for added expenses in time and money that are significant. I can see why that would be very helpful and enforce itself as a habit.

And if one is capable of recognizing where the cheap vs expensive stuff is they can take advantage of it like savvy shoppers have been for literal ages.
I’m not sad, I remember what Ergodan’s goons did on US soil.

And who wrote the laws allowing bribery? Congress. That's where the blame lies. If you create a system that can be abused, it will. If you create a system that's corrupt, why are you surprised when there's corruption? Blame the disease not the symptom. Our government is the disease. Corporations like intuit are just symptoms of the corruption. Legal corruption is still corruption. As they say, this is a feature not a bug from our government's point of view. Greatest country in the world for people who love to bribe. Corruption in most other places pales by comparison. Most places in the world outlaw bribery of government officials. We embrace it. So what if people get ripped off or even lose their lives? Business above all.
Can't believe I haven't seen this before - I've had this idea kicking around for years. It was definitely more important in the days when IE was locked down as the default browser on Windows in corp environments.

This definitely could have been a valuable enterprise product in the early-to-mid 2010s.
Just to see if I understood: so one of these coordinate systems is fixed in place relative to the sky above the earth somehow, with the idea that as the tectonic plates move around below, coordinates may become inaccurate or need to be updated?

But then other coordinate systems are based on something on the ground? So it is what, the based on the vector between some reference object on the (moving) plate and a local point on it? But then there are also smaller distortions of the plate that can make the plate-local coordinates inaccurate?

And I'm guessing normal GPS coordinates are from the non-moving sky coordinates?
I;m not saying you should not do that, I'm saying your focus should not be there. When things go south your CEO rarely is interested in CPU utilization, or error rate. The question they usually ask:
How bad is it? What is user impact? Is it all hand on deck or it is just a glitch. When it is cascading, which system to fix first? Root cause?
Component failure rate just doesn't have enough context.

And yes, distributed systems are hard, because it is inherently hard to reason about what will happen when something changes/fails.

I'm not from Uber but I recently worked (was responsible for a huge chunk of infra) at a company that is bigger and has more products running and I saw some hilarious failures. And what is different, it was rarely a bad code push, and when it was, due to the nature of the business, sometimes it was really hard to roll back.
Your opinion doesn't even make sense. You are literally saying it's unethical for a customer to buy something at the price which Amazon is selling it for? Because it might cause Amazon to lose money?

You do realize businesses regularly sell products at a loss right? So at what point does the loss become so large that its unethical for the customer to buy it?
You definitely want to TRACK cpu usage on individual hosts, but, yeah, I would alert on service latency instead. Symptom, not cause.
Even if it was well-rehearsed, he's earned my respect for bringing about questions that are pointedly relevant, both materially and topically.
The reason given in the article is not the whole story either. When the bent pyramid was under construction the ‘collapsed’ pyramid at Medium collapsed. This probably contributed to some last minute design changes for the bent pyramid.

The specific point about nightly isn't about Rust per say. It's more about using what is essentially a development version of a compiler, updated nightly. Exploits aren't necessarily even the biggest threat. Nightly could have bugs, and in the context of cryptocurrency, compiler bugs can mean large amounts of lost money.
>It's sad Turkey-US relations are souring at present.

Ain't that the truth. I find it quite disturbing to see a thin-skinned bully in charge, who is taking bad advice from a cohort of religious fundamentalists and warmongering chickenhawks, with little-to-no regard for the deadly serious real-world implications of acting on that bad advice.
Awsome App
Yes in very large systems that's true. But in the other systems, there's huge overheads which restrict systems from changing.

- Multiple execution environments

- Complexity in communication between services

- Managing the versioning of each service and it's dependent services.

Although services are easily to scale and change independently, they are hard to reconfigure globally, which means the application as a whole is hard to change...
While true, HTTP services in particular are a very, very common context.
The Expanse has 3 seasons, a 4th coming. Not sure if Netflix has the rights to air those, though.

How do you know to listen to Taylor Swift or whatever? In the last century it was easy to be in sync: you could just watch MTV. Is there something keeping the notion of pop coherent these days?
It's not those customers they care about. It's the additional million people who will see the news and scour the deals next year hoping for the same.
Ah, yes. Blindly dismissing ideas you disagree with. That’s how we improve political discord.
Microsoft Sculpt. I don't much like the f keys or key feel, but its great ergonomically. All wrist pain evaporated.
To back this up, when I was making maps of the rural area where I live in Japan, there were a few places where aerial maps were obscured by trees and where GPS measurements were wildly inaccurate due to geographical features. So I just guessed where the road was. It's in there somewhere and if you are driving your car or riding your bike, it's more than good enough. If you needed to know the precise location of that road for another purpose? Totally useless. Maybe someone has gone in and improved my initial efforts, maybe not (although, I was looking at it the other day and I'm pretty sure they have).
Fair enough. I agree about there being huge value in services providing abstracting away the complexities of Sia and making it accessible to more casual users. I'm just bothered by the fact that Filebase seems to be deliberately implying that they're a decentralized service, when they're, in fact, just as centralized as Google or Amazon.

The player that I prefer in this space is Goobox.[1] I think their goal is to build a Sia-based service similar to Mega, but they have an S3 API as well. They've been around longer than Filebase, and their marketing comes across to me as more honest.

A lot of what we do can be explained (or "reduced") to chemical processes that reward or reinforce behavior. Is there a chemical difference between this and the pleasure some get from reading great literary works, building a birdhouse, playing with your kids, etc?

A key question on the ethics of it all is - I think - whether there is some externality from the behavior that leads to social utility. Reading literature might make you more understanding and empathetic of others' experiences for example. Gambling in a casino, maybe not so much (though certainly it creates jobs, etc).

I'm excited by the idea that neurochemical feedback loops in gaming could create some positive social utility. Certainly the storytelling in a lot of games is artistic and meaningful, but maybe we'll find even better ways to directly channel those brain cycles, along the lines of protein folding games but with more depth. (Neal Stephenson had some interesting ideas for this in Fall or Reamde - can't remember - where an MMORPG had an API similar to mechanical turk where players were rewarded for cognitive tasks in the real world like airport security)

edit: I guess we shouldn't forget that games are fun too, and doesn't necessarily need to be deeper than that to be good.
But their original content is racing towards terrible, which I actually find far more annoying than the ever reducing amount of content. I'm right on the brink of cancelling. There's no way in hell I'm going to subscribe to multiple services.

Even where they start strong they rapidly pivot and either completely and irretrievably ruin it, cancel before it got half a chance, or simply start stretching content way, way beyond breaking point. Entire seasons can feel like they started as two episodes. So just the same unique selling point as everyone else then. Why aren't those large budgets showing in script writing?

So I end up skipping far more of later seasons than I watch, and soon stop entirely...
Ughh. That's the newest version of my pseudo broken camera and the tele lens I've wanted forever.
This is cutting it close to say microservice, it’s just two services and they don’t fan out or have a lot of the complexity that causes the down sides; such as fan outs that require tracing to debug, requires too many services to startup on your laptop for dev, load testing and tuning, common libraries that cause systemic failures or require world rebuilds when modified, service to service authentication...
I've not cancelled Netflix yet, but I'm looking to pare down my streaming services, and Netflix is the top of the list to go. Amazon and Hulu seem to be getting better for non-original content than Netflix. Rising prices and and a shrinking library aren't a good combo for me and while some shows are okay, the original content isn't worth it at older prices, but less the recent price hikes.

The biggest thing about all these content owners making their own me too streaming service is that I'm more likely to subscribe to a few services and I'll go back to torrents for the rest.

How much do you think is enough, and why do you think the amount collected during boot is insufficient?
Butta boom butta bing. How about calling it Boom? Nope it will be Bing.. But boom is so much... I have made up my mind.
The real problem isn't the stagnation of science and technology (in most cases - notable exceptions are maybe healthcare and the climate). The more imminent problem is the economic implication of the embedded growth obligations. And the even higher level problem is that of generations making future obligations they can't meet and don't know about it. A kind of indeterminate optimism.
Since streaming services keep shows in their library for quite a while, and with binge watching being popular, it may be a good strategy to cycle through the services periodically. The problem is that they don't have a way for you to just "pause" a service, and if you have multiple family members in the household you have to get buy in from everyone.
TurboTax isn’t the IRS and it isn’t their responsibility to help tax payers navigate the overly complicated tax code for free (to the extent that the company doesn’t lobby for complex tax laws). Congress should create a streamlined tax filing system for everyday people.

Students also should not be charged for filing with a 1098, but I would also expect anyone in graduate school to be able to file a simple tax return on their own.

> same emotional baggage follows you along with your shipping container.

True, but moving from a country with fewer to more daylight hours has definitely made me feel happier.
How would I go about doing that?
Definitely true. Mostly I just avoid using defer with Close, but I sometimes end up writing terrible stuff like:

defer func() {
err2 := f.Close()
if err == nil {
err = err2
}
}()

Not perfect, but better than nothing. I could use Wrapf to add information is err is already set. :-p
Netflix Plunges After Biggest Stumble Since DVD-by-Mail Era
Sure, downvote based on emotions.
Has anyone here seen the show What/If, about a biotech start-up? This is one of those shows that was one of Netflix's "dart thrown at the wall"--terrible acting, unrealistic representation of start-up/VC world, etc. Just really, really bad.

I use the Unicomp Model M (macOS version). It's a great keyboard but having used a standard Dell at work every day, I soon realised that I don't enjoy it much more than a $30 Dell keyboard.

When, or maybe if, this Model M fails, I'll pick up a run of the mill $30 keyboard.
Here’s one passage I remember after many years: Byron explaining how convenient it was for schoolboys that the editors of the classics had thoughtfully collected all the obscene bits in one place. They were too prudish to leave them in the text, but too scholarly to delete them altogether.

Juan was taught from out the best edition,
Expurgated by learnéd men, who place
Judiciously, from out the schoolboy's vision,
The grosser parts; but, fearful to deface
Too much their modest bard by this omission,
And pitying sore his mutilated case,
They only add them all in an appendix,
Which saves, in fact, the trouble of an index;

For there we have them all "at one fell swoop,"
Instead of being scatter'd through the Pages;
They stand forth marshall'd in a handsome troop,
To meet the ingenuous youth of future ages,
Till some less rigid editor shall stoop
To call them back into their separate cages,
Instead of standing staring all together,
Like garden gods—and not so decent either.
I think you mean PM X
Yeah those darn kids. Why won't they just get off your lawn. You know who said the same thing you just did? Every generation about the next generation. You can literally go back to how people were complaining books were causing corruption in kids and how things used to be better when. There are more comedy shows available than ever before on television and see the push off s button. Comedy is alive and well, it's just that comedy changes over time and what you find funny, the kids don't find edgy or relevant. Remember when Dane Cook was funny? How about Rodney Dangerfield? Hell, Richard Pryor before Eddie Murphy (Raw is still an amazing set). Comedy will always change and it's a reflection of the society that exists at that time, not the past. Plenty of comedians say really crazy things that don't create a tweet storm. Chris Hardwick survived a tweet storm based on some allegations from his ex and he's doing just fine now. Aziz Ansari seems to be humming along just fine too. I think the real point is that the kids are okay. You don't need to worry about their sense of humor it's still firmly intact.

I find it annoying how content is so easily discoverable in YouTube but with Netflix, it's almost like the site is actively trying to stop you from discovering new content in there. For example, I share a Netflix account with a relative who has somewhat different tastes from me and I find shows/movies on her account's front page I find interesting that I would never have found on my account except if I search for that specific show.

I dunno, calling people unsophisticated drug dealers because their game designs don't value the same dimensions of fun as your game designs seems pretty judgemental.

> This isn't an editorial. I'm not judging anyone. I write computer RPGs for a living. My games are crude and low-budget, but they give you your modest dopamine dose for a far more reasonable price than the free-to-play drug lords over on Android.

"It's easy for me to acquire content against the content creator's wishes, therefore I should dictate the market."

> There is not much of a market for paid fonts used in Sketch when developers and designers are testing out different concepts they MIGHT use in production.

Never said there was. There's an easy solution: don't take a font that doesn't belong to you.

This all boils down to "I want something and don't want to pay what the creator thinks it's worth." It's disrespectful, and it's straight-up entitlement. Just don't use the font. Nobody owes you a particular typeface.

> The ground I stand on is reality.

The reality is that it's easy to do the wrong thing here, so you do it, then try to pretzel your way into thinking that it's not morally wrong. Think someone's overcharging? Then don't buy the product.

If the pi is designed to throttle at a temperature where its lifespan is reduced from 50 to 49 years, then it is throttling at a gratuitously low temperature that affects quite a few use cases.

On the other hand, if it is designed to throttle at a temperature that materially reduces the lifespan, then it needs a fan to preserve its lifespan.

Either way, the hardware is starkly suboptimal for a pretty large set of advertised use cases until you add a fan.
