Yes, but the trial-and-error model of Netflix original content production is exactly the same as it is for series produced chiefly to be shown on major US TV channels.

The difference is, more of this content used to be licensed to Netflix, but shows have been leaving as licensing deals expire and typically end up on Hulu, which is a first-party platform for Disney (ABC, Freeform, FX, A&E) and NBC (Syfy, Bravo, USA), and a third-party platform for WarnerMedia until they finish starting their own.

Streaming services are proliferating as each vertical starts their own, and exclusivity is being leveraged to drive subscriber numbers. Discerning viewers can choose on content or cycle out subscriptions as they consume the material of interest, while casual viewers can choose on a different dimension like price per month, size of back catalog, variety of genres, search and discovery tools, or lack or presence of commercial breaks.

you're the perfect person to ask about this: i have a trimble i used to survey some points (using RTX) that shows a ~1 meter offset from data i've collected using piksi PPK'ed against a CORS station. i've checked the datum i export in on the trimble (wgs84) and the datum of the CORS base station and despite performing a conversion i can't get them to line up. any ideas?
Deprioritization is handled at the cell site and is per-sector/per-band. It's handled on the radio layer and what usually appears to happen is the network will only allocate you a few physical resource blocks. So speeds will vary based on what modulation your device can get away with and how busy things are. The only 'official' post on the topic I can think of: https://newsroom.sprint.com/protecting-the-97.htm

If you live in a populated city or need to go through an airport with a phone subject to deprio you're going to have a bad time with speeds.

If you're like me and live on a mountain surrounded by trees with a line of sight to the tower down the hill, deprio isn't going to matter.

Tesla Claims Secret Project Has Fallen into Chinese Rival's Hands – Zero Hedge
As a friend of Chuck, I can tell you he means it as follows:

Originally he believed that we had a well-functioning free market, and that everything that got built was just the market expressing consumer preferences. Over time he (and I and many others) began to realize that the system was not a functioning free-market at all, but rather a strange amalgam of layers of public policy and social engineering with really bad side effects.

This isn’t super easy to see because it’s hidden in a bunch of cultural stuff we just take for granted. Things like how so many postwar neighborhood have 40’ wide paved streets with curb and gutter, sewer, and buried utilities. That must be because it’s practical and affordable, right? But when you really dig into it you find that the homes lining that street don’t even pay a meaningful fraction of the maintenance cost of that infrastructure... so where does the money come from? That turns out to be very opaque and hard to answer. (You can read about it here: https://www.strongtowns.org/the-growth-ponzi-scheme)

And so on. So as we began to figure this stuff out, we built Strong Towns to share what we were finding and try and get a lot more people to look at it in their own communities so we could figure out how widespread these phenomena were, and start to figuring out what to do about it. That journey is still in progress.

OpenBSD also controls its own boot loader, which also feeds in entropy that the kernel then leverages. Perhaps GRUB(2) should do something similar?

By writing tickets to offenders in the cases where an officer witnessed the ofence? I thought that part was implicit. These are not cases where we need more policing or resources. Just rules that have been chosen to not be enforced and a few others that should be written. You don't need a police state to have better rule following. Just actually enforce the rules in the cases you catch and behavior changes much more broadly.
Very much looking forward to assignment expressions! It's something I've wanted to do every so often, only to realise that you can't. A worthy addition to the already intuitive Python language.
One good example of this: Space Invaders was, AFAIK, the first game to feature escalating difficulty over time (because the aliens speed up the more of them you shoot). This wasn't originally part of the design; the system just couldn't run at the same framerate while managing 30 sprites as it could at 5, and there weren't any enforced timing checks.
There is (currently) no such law.
I read one source that says metal ball bearings are used to attach the wooden wheels to the wooden axle. Makes sense, because otherwise the friction would probably make the device impractical.
I think that's a misunderstanding, sorry. I was talking about SEPA debit, via an IBAN. The checkout form doesn't appear to accept those atm.
Are there any large providers where the SLAs are meaningful, instead of a variation of "you don't have to pay us if we didn't provide the service" (i.e. something not remotely related to the damage typically caused by such outages)?

For example, Amazon will give you a 30% refund "for the individual Included Service in the affected AWS region for the monthly billing cycle in which the Unavailability occurred" if availability during a month drops to, but not below, 95% (that's a 1.5 day downtime).

That means that if your service goes 100% down because EC2 was completely broken in a region for 1.5 days, you get a refund of 9 days worth of EC2 (compute) charges, but not the associated EBS (disk) or S3 (storage) or other charges.

And "unavailability" counts only if at least two availability zones at the same time are completely down. And then you have to request the credit in a very specific format.

Google and Azure look extremely similar.

Are better SLAs typically negotiated? Because based on this, it seems like the only thing keeping cloud providers reliably above their SLAs is the fear of losing current and future customers, not the SLAs themselves. In other words, the SLAs are completely meaningless.

> A lot of those sensors and cameras are less accurate during the night or in weather or with sun glare.

But for relatively minimal cost, those sensors can easily 10x better than humans. Whether it's visible light or infrared, whether it's microphones outside the car, or networked effects to other vehicles or highway camera.
I think in the end as to whether or not you can put the font in your website and have it public on github (which is not necessarily the same as not encumbered by licensing issues) will need to be determined by the courts when and if someone wants to test the issue.

Seems like they store entropy in an on-disk file[1], and re-read that file on startup. This feature is available in Linux as well (see urandom(4) for an example of how to do it manually, though I think most distros bundle this in some manner); although apparently, according to the OP, it doesn't fully work?

Seems like the man page sort of notes the problem in the article:

> Writing to /dev/random or /dev/urandom will update the entropy pool with the data written, but this will not result in a higher entropy count.

But, why not, man page, why not? I feel like if I, as root, write to /dev/random, I am saying that this is acceptable input for seeding the generator, and that it is on me to not, say, seed it with the exact same stuff every boot, or seed it with straight nuls, no?

How does OpenBSD guarantee that this file exists, though? Perhaps making it a system default is wise, but what about brand new VMs/installs? Does the install just take the time to do the first generation of that file?

The OpenBSD folks also appear to trust RDRANG, which would help not blocking. But I disagree with that trust decision.

Super neat! One note that I found odd: km/L is a weird way to talk about fuel efficiency for metric. Everywhere that I've seen typically uses L/100km rather than just doing a MPG equivalent conversion.
This is why I fear our dependence on 'authoritative versions' of libraries. We've already seen the perils of ownership transfers being used to embed vulnerabilities or outright malware, all under the pretense that the new versions are still authoritative and trusted.

A more mature approach seems to me to be to ensure forks are first-class, and that dependence is restricted to a specific fork: either by full name (@owner/repository), or - better yet - by Git coordinate (url/sha). This means an abandoned project can be picked up by any number of people.

The primary cost I can see is one of cohesion and divergent enhancement under the same library name. But in a way, we have ways to refer to that already. "Mordenkainen's Magic Missile" - the owner + name coordinate already has a natural representation. And perhaps once we've made that step, more progress can be made to help forks coordinate common changes and improvements where possible, or to split into more distinct artifacts where applicable.
I strongly suspect that this information is already included in the Linux kernel RNG, but it is not given much weight in the entropy calculation, on the basis that virtualized systems frequently have duplicated MAC addresses (as is allowed on a non-public system), and sometimes also have low initial timestamp resolution.
If a condition is already bad, why bother trying to make it better? ie:

> Any claim that Google would have helped China censor Chinese citizens ignores the fact that Chinese search engines are already censored

"...so it isn't helping, it's just business as usual."

The counterpoint is that having choice is helpful, especially when the choices include user segments, even if you don't experience it. Also, participating in oppressive behavior is immoral, regardless of the outcome.
Definitely agree about the touch bar. I’m glad that some people find it useful, but I am not one of those people! The function keys are deeply embedded into my workflow, and no physical keys/tactile feedback is worse in every way.

I wish Apple would stop being so stubborn about it and offer SKUs with and without, and every spec point.

What is stage fright?
Excellent points I had not considered.

If as you say, somebody released code saying that it was something they were willing to support, it’s reasonable to expect said author to stand by their statements.

That said, this seems like it would be a more implicit expectation than an explicit agreement in many cases. How could a community enforce good behavior in this regard?

Going by your previous example, would it be reasonable for the recommended list of libraries to be more carefully curated for people on such a way that only stable _and_ well supported libraries are put forward? Putting hard requirements on official recommendations seems like it’s be a fairly simple way to avoid such situations.
I would argue that it's the fault of the consumer, not Amazon. Amazon simply provides a centralized place to 'consume' - it does not (in most cases) manufacture goods, it simply consolidates goods into one place.

Let's flip your argument on its head.

If Amazon only had three customers, would they be enabling wasteful consumerism? If so, why? If so, wouldn't literally every online or offline marketplace be enabling wasteful consumerism?

If not, why? How many customers / year need to visit before they become the monster you claim? Or is it a gradient? If so, then what is their responsibility - to only let a certain threshold of people purchase goods every year, and turn the rest of consumers away?

I write a good deal of python and I can't think of a line of code that I would use it for besides the while loop on a non-iterable data source, which is such a once in a blue moon case. As mentioned by others, the operator invites more ways to do the same thing, which is not what Python has been viewed as being about.

It does make sense for them to take a stand if they hope to be able to hire local talent in Silicon Valley. A lot of the seemingly political stands these tech companies take lately are done with an eye towards protecting or supporting their employees. In the end an organization is made of people and if all those people support a certain position it will be reflected in how the company behaves. There is no such thing as being truly neutral anyway, something is neutral to something specific but not generally neutral and you can always draw lines for which the same organization is neutral and for which it isn't. It just happens that you drew that line at their stand to abortion rights.

In many cases they're delayed commits; one branch of the code is retained, and other paths are deleted, including switching code (eg "if <switch> then A else B end" ===> "A").

It seems easy, but in practice people do all kinds of weird things like caching flag values and random if/switch/etc. syntax. It's also cross-language in many applications.
This story is meaningless without the person's name. Kenneth Reitz owns the #1 most-used Python package, `requests`.
Yeah, I'm cancelling as soon as I get a couple things watched. Will just re-sub every now and then... maybe. Would leave it on—even with the hikes it's not that much money, though they definitely serve as reminders to maybe-cancel—but seriously, what's pushing me over the edge is the damn auto-play-while-browsing crap. I hate it.

It's reduced Netflix's utility since I never browse now like I used to, and only go on when I have something specific I know they have that I want to watch so I can go straight to it.

It's the worst when trying to browse with someone else. You stop to talk for a second and the TV starts yelling at you. WTF.
Disagree. In my experience (albeit, not very long, been writing Python since 2007 or so), assigning to a value and checking for truthiness is a very common pattern.
That's not right either.

The economy, and people's place in the whole pecking order, isn't under anyone's control, really. People who are on the losing end want to change the system; sometimes their pattern-recognition sees conspiracies, or lets them believe in stories about how the system is oppressing them, but their responses don't necessarily lead to a better system.

That doesn't mean that they were wrong, that the system couldn't be better. Just that the stories that they used to make sense of the world didn't give them good tools to improve things. Most economic and social stories are like this - they become viral by being simple enough for a lot of people to understand, but fundamentally the whole system has feedback loops and second and third order effects dominate when people try to change the system.

There aren't any simple solutions, but simple solutions helped by simple stories are getting a lot of traction these days, on both left and right ends of the political spectrum.

Don't underestimate the power of self-delusion in justifying one's own position, if you think you're doing well. It's easy to start thinking that poor people deserve to be poor as a coping mechanism for the guilt you might otherwise feel.

You can’t make a new Office or Friends. Those were created by really special groups of people and I’m not confident today’s society allows groups like this to form.

This decade of outrage that we’re coming out of (hopefully) has crushed an entire generation of comedians and actors. Look at late night talk shows for example; they’re totally stale. Nobody has the balls to say anything, fearing the tweet storm will be turned against their production company.

It’ll take another generation before we’ll be in a place to create good shit again. Or maybe it will never happen again and the golden age is over?
Well, I don’t think it’s just about what helps me. I think it’s about the craft of Engineering, which is fundamentally about shipping things.

You can be a good coder but struggle to deliver because you get distracted or rabbit hole, over or under engineer, etc.

The engineers who have really mastered their craft have mastered not just the coding, the infra, operations, etc. they’ve mastered putting it all together and getting it out to the world.

The ones who have mastered all that can usually give pretty good estimates. The ones who haven’t usually find estimating to be difficult.

So it’s not so much that estimating is the single critical skill, but rather that estimating comes from a synthesis of all the other skills, and as a result it’s a good indicator for how much someone has mastered the craft.

Well the other thing is this is a personal machine. I do programming work on it, but not as a job. I also have a perfectly capable desktop. I just enjoy the portability, and also MacOS. And as another commenter said, "It'd be nice, but I can do with the old one I have". Although it's getting to a point where I'm not sure how much longer I can "do with the old one I have".
