I hope it does, and I hope it signals that they're going too far with their segmentation of subscription services.

I subscribe to HBO. A subscription service that I have to pay for. Now they're going to introduce another subscription service called HBO Max which is going to cost more and may overlap with, but may not entirely include, content from HBO Go/NOW. Does this mean I have to buy into another subscription from the same company to access their 'new'/'original' content?

Honestly, I'm maintaining the services I currently have but not adding anything new. I have subscription fatigue. A cable subscription, HBO, Showtime, Netflix, and Prime are enough to fulfill my moral quota. Plex/Radarr/Sonarr will manage the rest of my television entertainment needs.
Hey Yann.

>a total and effective ban on guns would of course stop mass shootings and other gun violence

But then, the cherrypicked, tautological nature of this goal is elided by gun control advocates--reducing gun violence without addressing the root social causes of violence is just a shell game.

It's only logical if the only value you put on people is someone's ability to pay for things, and assume that that is somehow linked to their ability to "produce" for the betterment of society. The argument really falls down at the extremes - is Jeff Bezos really worth millions of times more to society than one of his workers? Does being born rich automatically make you more valuable?

I don't think this is as big a threat as these comments make it seem. For the tech savvy, setting up a Plex server or whatever can be done in an afternoon's time. The majority of consumers won't go through the "hassle" of setting up their own infrastructure and will make judgement calls on what platforms align with their interests.

I'd bet on Netflix (incumbency), Prime (bundling), Apple (integration with iPhone) and Disney (best back catalog) being the leaders in this space for the next 5 years. Despite major networks getting into the game its hard to see them going all in and cannablizing their TV business just yet

In reality, the uninsured avoid going to the doctor until its an emergency and then they go the the ER and rack up tens of thousands of dollars worth of medical bills for a problem that if treated proactively by an initial doctor visit could have been resolved with a $15 bottle of antibiotics or something similar.

The poor person obviously cannot afford that bill so the provider eats it and the result is increasing costs for everyone else. So unless the solution is just to let the poor and their children die, providing everyone with access to health care would probably be a net benefit. Not to mention universal health care would provide for incredible bargaining power meaning drugs such as insulin would not cost an individual hundreds of dollars a month.

Everyone with new health insurance is not going to go all at once, I doubt there will be any significant increase in wait time to see a doctor. Finally, people are not units of exchange, they are people and poor or rich they deserve at least a shot at a decent life for them and their family and universal health care goes a long way towards providing that.

I've never worked for the intel agencies but I've worked in other places in the USG.

You're right that we may never know what exactly Snowden took, that's always going to be the tough part about the public evaluating classified information cases. Sometimes you'll find other pieces of the puzzle years later if you're lucky.

Either way, you should take what senior intel officials say with a grain of salt, they're always going to be cagey and particular with language. But looking at the Snowden case there are a number of things that are red flags with his story.

Was the NSA performing illegal surveillance on Americans? Yes. Did Snowden expose information that had nothing to do with those programs? Even by his own admission yes. Did Snowden even read all of the documents he stole? No, again by his admission.

I don't think Snowden was a stone cold traitor, but I also think there are some things about his story that don't add up. The truth is probably somewhere in a gray area.

This is mostly useful for reusable boilerplate. For example, if I have a list and want to map over it with a function, I can call normal `map`. But if I want to map over it with a function that doesn't return a normal value, I can get something weird. With promise, for example, I might end up with a list of promises, where what I want is a promise containing a list. If I didn't have monads, I would have to write a function that manually took each value out of the list, awaited it, and put that value into a new list that will be returned from that function.

In Haskell, that function is just called `mapM`, and it's consistent whether you're working with exceptional cases (Either String a), nullable cases (Maybe a), IO (IO a), Promises (Async a), or even weirder things.

This is actually a huge problem for the Java Streams API, because Java's checked exception feature is sort of like most monads. You can't call a function that throws an exception inside of a function that doesn't, except by using some weird incantation. (You can think of `try` as being a built in syntax for "running" the exception monad). Which means that you can't call an exception throwing function in `Stream::map`. Instead, you have to do something really ugly. https://www.reddit.com/r/java/comments/49yjqf/tunnelling_exc...
It's fiber. Fiber is going to remain relevant until we can somehow break the speed of light.
In 2018, there was a report published by Sandvine saying that BitTorrent traffic had increased on their network for the first time in years (Engadget link: https://www.engadget.com/2018/10/03/streaming-exclusives-may...)

It seems perfectly rational to me. Streaming platforms' competitive advantage vs piracy is convenience (being legal and easier to use). As their convenience declines, users who are not averse to piracy will naturally gravitate back towards it.
> That's not really what it's about. You have no idea how utterly janky Plex and torrenting is.

I don't know anything about Plex, but torrenting is pretty effortless compared to figuring out which streaming service what you want to watch is on, figuring out how to get that, evaluating other content it has trying to justify the price, figuring out how to get it to your tv, and figuring out how to use it. The only thing I've seen that confuses people about torrenting is having to open a port.

I think the thing that limits torrenting is the ISP emails, not any of this "nobody cares about your nerd stuff" know-nothing pseudo folk wisdom. People figure it out in five minutes, it looks too easy so it feels criminal, then they get an email from their ISP, so they retreat back to the difficult stuff out of paranoia because they vaguely remember stories about people getting in absurdly disproportionate trouble for it.

For your conspiracy to be valid, I'd have to see significant evidence that internet costs have gone up in the US. Mine have gone down. Evidence that it's cheaper in other parts of the world is utterly irrelevant.
How to make your own deep learning accelerator chip
Not if they also fix the bandwidth allowance. Over time, I would expect the cost of provisioning a 1 Gbps link to drop faster than that $50 loses purchasing power.

Your $50/mo for 1 Gbps can therefore remain stable, and the ISP might someday offer 10 Gbps for $70/mo as an upgrade offer. Clearly, by those prices, as long as the per-customer costs are less than $47.78, that $50 more than covers the cost of the 1 Gbps bandwidth. Everyone who doesn't upgrade ends up subsidizing further build-out.
Does this apply to other JS engines or only V8?

> Even saying profitability is the dominant factor for stock prices is dubious

Sure I simplified, and you're right that it's more the expected future profitability than the current one that's important.

> If demand dropped enough in spite of profitability, it would reduce the stock price.

Technically true, I guess, but pretty meaningless. To me that's a tautology, boiling down to that if the stock price falls then the stock price falls.

I'm not sure you appreciate the armies of analysts who crunch the numbers for every possible investment, trying to spot under- or overvalued companies and make a profit on their deeper insight.

Even if 95% or 99.9% of investors decline to invest in companies with the right numbers, there will always be a few who will gladly take the free money.

Maybe that's the disconnect here. The "Divest People" think of this as a democracy where you have to sway the majority. But that's not at all how the markets work.

There's something to this. Of course it's a convenience to have better pickings for shows we want to watch, but seeing it all means spending an inordinate amount of time watching tv. Most of it is dull filler. People think too much of it.

A lot of people seemed to enjoy GoT in the earlier years, and the barriers to watching it are ridiculous. It's cheaper to shell out $100+ for the dvd set even for a single watch. There's a reason it's the most pirated show of all time.
Thanks! I'll have to give it a shot.

how/what are most people using internet for that they tolerate such small caps?!

When I first learned Haskell it took a very long time before I started figuring out what monads, applicatives and category theory were, and even then I only ever took a deep dive into monads specifically, basically so that I could do side effects.

For a long time in the beginning I was just learning about the basics, like list manipulation functions, and typeclasses. There was quite a journey in between beginning Haskell and even starting to look at the learning material for monads/functors etc.

F* the telecoms and F* comcast.
Ok, sure - pardon my use of expressive and imprecise language. I meant that we should pursue everything feasible from among the set potentially helpful or promising actions in as sensible a way as we can (infer a few more sensible qualifiers if you wish). Spending a couple minutes to switch my retirement allocations doesn't affect my ability to advocate for other policies.

What I think we definitely want to avoid is the temptation to see an incomplete or minimally effective action (in the current context) and dismiss it, while we wait for a silver bullet. For example:

"Individual actions aren't going to be enough, we need regulation. I might as well fly instead of drive."

"Your divestment isn't going to make a difference, so don't bother."

Both of those statements contain kernels of truth, but miss the fact that individual actions do have consequences in the aggregate, and cultural change is possible (and is one way to motivate policy change!).
I was wondering that too. No mention of Firefox or Safari. There is more than one browser/render engine out there. Don't design for the monoculture.

The board of selectmen were always interesting in my town (at least to me, I didn’t really understand it as a child). Not sure if we are over the 12K minimum, but I doubt anyone would call us a city even if we were.

The 1707 Union created the Kingdom of Great Britain. 1801 created United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The creation of the Irish Free State in 1922 gave us the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. So if Scotland leaves, the Kingdom of Great Britain ceases to exist. "Britain" ceases to exists as a political/national state. IMHO any reconfigured UK after that is an absurdity.

Damn. You just nailed this. In fact, hearing it this way makes me confused as to why anyone would ever use a streaming service to start.

I live in Canada - which is just an awful country to be in for seeing the message 'this video is not available in your country'. For years, I exclaimed 'this is dumb and just makes me visit the Pirate Bay next, it won't be long before other people do, too'.

You know what I wish was still open? Blockbuster. I miss walking out to a store, picking out a movie, pretty much any movie I wanted (new releases might be picky/choosy) - and renting it for a couple days for $2-3. That...honestly seemed like the best all-around deal for movie producers and consumers.

Anecdotally I have several "non techy" friends who pirate movies. They just bought a pre-loaded "stick" plugged it into their TV and bam, it works. They don't even fully realize (or admit) they are pirating.
I have those three services and I won't be adding any more monthly charges. Anything not on those three might as well not exist because it's not worth the risk of pirating (and my ISP blocks bittorrent anyway). So good riddance Disney, CBS, and anybody else. Your content is all dead to me.

From multiple sources: Human trafficking involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act.

A coyote smuggles people but the status of the people being smuggled varies. Either the people pay the coyote up front for safe crossing but many can't afford the price. So they are promised a "job" in order to work off their coyote debt. Job being a euphemism for bondage/slavery doing god knows what. So it's a safe bet to say that coyotes participate in human trafficking.
Not that surprising since the "currency" is basically pride and appreciation for your work (insofar as you can really apply that kind of thinking to these social situations)
