They could create a new company to keep track of who is watching what so each content creator gets paid accordingly. And it would be one company to pay for the per view option you describe. I could see this growing to 100s of different content providers and available to nearly every home!

It's interesting that we've come full circle. This seems like an opportunity for the tv streaming services to add streaming content from different providers and eventually we end up with a 150/mo for streaming TV with premium channels like HBO, NETFLIX, DISNEY, ESPN, etc.
If Scotland leaves, I imagine we'll switch from "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" to "The United Kingdom of Britain and Northern Ireland", thus keeping the "uk". ".scot" already exists.

If Northern Ireland leaves, I guess the UK no longer exists, and we switch to ".gb". Could clone .uk at .gb for a while (ten years?) and give people time to switch, but seems more likely Nominet would prefer to just charge people twice for a .uk and a .gb.

If Scotland and Northern Ireland leaves, that leaves us as just "Britain". Maybe we create a new ".brit" (or whever the 2 char country code will be), and give time for .uk to disappear again.

Wales wont leave.

[edit] I just saw emmelaich's comment that .gb already exists.
Ugh, I am so sick of the "if all of the content I ever want isn't available for less than a single $10 a month sub, I'll pirate it" nonsense. Netflix was never going to be the be-all, end-all of content and its time our generation grew up a little bit.

For the amount of content you could get in a traditional cable package, you should expect to pay about as much as a traditional cable package.
Interesting, still remaining in a max 3 characters coding, wouldn't it make sense to renumber/redenominate runways using (say) alpha1-alpha2-alpha3?

Where:

alpha1 is a letter from A to J (10 letters/values 0-9)

alpha2 is a letter excluded R from P to Z (10 letters/values 0-9)

alpha3 is either L or R

So, runway 10L would be BPL and 01L would be AQL.

It still remains the possible error between L and R, though.

I don't know the reason why runways are called "Left" or "Right", I mean, even without the typo doesn't having two runways # 10 possibly create some confusion?

More generally "similar" codes should IMHO be avoided, most probably there are reasons (that I don't know about) why a number of airports have their taxiways/runways named/numbered as they are (possibly ingenerating confusion).

It seems like the crash at Linate Airport:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linate_Airport_disaster

ultimately was caused by the poor visibility and the confusion between the R5 and R6 (maybe if they were called - still say - L5 and R6 or 22 and 87 the Cessna pilots wouldn't have made their error)
So, is there a draft spec yet? I can't find anything.

Also, the name is of course justified, but it will be a mess to search for due to (Facebook) GraphQL.
All zoos are like that and incredibly sad from the inside even if they look fine to the guests. The only ones that have a moral leg to stand on are the rehabilitation ones that use proceeds to help the animals, but it's still a very wishy washy thing to be running an animal prison for profit.
.uk is also the UK's though. The country code is explicitly reserved by the UK, and it exists in DNS because they grandfathered in some old system's domains.
I have never been more envious of my brother until now.

Map-reduce is effectively the fruit of realising that, as long as your processing can be described as a combination of Functor (map) and Monoid (reduce) operations, then you can trivially parallelise your computation by letting the implementation of `map` and `reduce` handle all the parallelism for you.
Implicit in your statement is that "saving the environment" and "making money" are mutually exclusive. That may have been the case at some point in the past, but it is no longer true. We can definitely make money while doing the right thing for the environment. Regardless, thank you for your (past) efforts.

.scot seems to be the main Scottish TLD (e.g. gov.scot) and Wales has .cymru and .wales. Don't think there are ones for England and NI though - maybe .ruk would do?
In your opinion, is this article less helpful than the functor/monad tutorials that predominantly use Haskell?
Serverless: 15% slower and 8x more expensive
But on an even higher level, a Ponzi scheme is outright fraud where most victims get nothing. Underprovisioned internet bandwidth gives every customer part of what they were promised, which is plenty for most of them anyway. Using sensational words imprecisely distorts meaning.
Unlikely Brexit ever happens. There's too much at stake here, globalists would never let it happen. If UK detaches from the EU and it becomes successful, the EU project is over.
I haven't looked into this yet, but one question I always ask for new blockchains is: Why use your own blockchain? Security is expensive, and it's trivial to 51% attack new chains with minimal hash power. This would make sense if you were using a shared security model (i.e. building on Ethereum). That being said, what kind of consensus algorithm are you using?

I remember the days (circa 2009/2010) where the main complaint about streaming Netflix was that there was nothing on it compared to the disk collection. When exactly did that change?

There must have been a brief “monopoly period” when Netflix had all of the content, but I don’t remember it.
Why do services have to be nationwide? Sweden didn't get wired by nationwide services, there are tons of local fiber ISPs that only service one city.

Case in point: The article. The US needs more of that. Do that in every town and you're sorted.
Because no one forced them to :). I think they'll get around to working on that later on, but first they'll ruin the whole streaming space in an attempt to capture all the value they can from their IP directly.
Throughput - not all about speed. Downloading a game on Steam should not cripple my ability to watch TV, as an example. Plus most machines are off auto updating nowadays, I shouldn't have to suffer because my laptop/phone/TV/toaster decided to patch itself when I don't have any control over that.
They didn't say anything about having Roku, and from my experience the "search all platforms" tools on streaming devices like Roku and Apple TV leave much to be desired
Germans/Europeans might feel with me: I had the pleasure of using Sky to watch Game of Thrones and a few movies and it was the most abysmal experience I have ever had.

Your account is an email combined with a 4-digit NUMERIC-ONLY (!) "password" and once you are hyper-securely logged in the amount of usability pain a single piece of software can cause will immediately become apparent.

How can anything paid by a big corporation be anywhere near as bad as the Sky apps is completely beyond me.

Their iOS app is somewhat usable and I was happy I could just cast GoT using my Google Chrome until I noticed that casting can only be done in German. The English original version wasn't available for casting but perfectly accessible on PS4 app, Mac app and web app.
Cooler fact, GB and UK are different. UK is GB + Northern Ireland.

Scotland already have .Scot and I think Wales have thier own also. Not sure I've seen a .England though.
Downloading Steam games is one thing that actually takes advantage of my 750Mbps.
Generally the bath is just used for one night, the systems that I am familiar with will add additional hot water to to tub but do not reheat the existing water. The grey water is often reused to wash clothes.
I can see where you're coming from. My native language (Finnish) also uses letters with diareses, mostly ä and ö but also å. But I did make sure my kids' names are easy to spell and pronounce in English. A name like Ääliö would be just asking for trouble, in many senses. ;)

So we had this in the Florida Keys with AT&T who is the service provider of our area. I live 2 miles out on a peninsula of an island named Summerland, anyway I bought my house and AT&T assured me that I could get DSL but fiber would not be an option. I knew it was copper all the way to my home so I figured it would be the case.

Anyways, I buy said house AT&T comes out and tried to get DSL working, and the lines have been so patched and spliced that they cannot even get 1mbps, so they basically tell me I am screwed that it would not be cost effective to run new copper down a 2 mile stretch and that my only option would be to pay (or band my neighbors together to pay -- All 2 of them) for them to string fiber the whole way. I think it would be something like 70k.

2 Months later Hurricane Irma hits and rips down every poll down our street, and AT&T is forced to restring the whole street due to the fact that they are legally required to provide phone service to every customer in their "exclusive" area or they loose said exclusivity. Fortunately for me they opted to string it with fiber, and provided fiber to the home.

My point is, I don't see how allowing these "exclusive" coverage monopolies does anything but harm the consumer. I imagine a community based provider like the one in the article would be met with a host of legal challenges here.

Yes it's not like the US has never raised similar concerns about Cuba... the US is totally fine with having Cuba next door...

"BUT BUT they had missiles pointed at the US." Yes well that was over 50 years ago and Cuba isn't Nazi Germany.

>Teams only checked in – wait for it – every three months in a formal schedule review. I listened as Henrich mentioned that the teams complained about the volume of paperwork he makes them fill out for these quarterly reviews.

In my experience, embracing agile is an organizational change, not just an IT team change. Product owners and subject matter experts need to be more engaged with their development teams. Not all business folks want to do this: they have their own day-jobs to get to. So when the IT team starts iterating faster, but the appropriate business / project stakeholders do not change their workflow, you get this "AgileFall" combo that just does not really work.

To stream 4K contents you only need 20-30Mbps. But for any kind of big download (game updates, OS updates, etc), being able to finish in less than 5 minutes is fantastic.
Or really complex internal projects, like an ERP / SAP implementation.

Tragedy of the Commons problems are pretty tough to crack, especially when the commons is the entire planet.

Look at it this way, you could live the most energy indulgent lifestyle possible or you could spend the rest of your life eating grubs in the woods and it would not swing the needle either way - at all.

It's hard to convince rational actors to do something or sacrifice things for a payoff that, on an individual level, is about as close to zero as possible.

Personally, my strategy is to try to live reasonably, try not to consume or pollute too much, vote my conscience, and hope like hell that the next generation or two are much better equipped (and motivated) to solve the problem. Hopefully by then they've figured out "free" fusion energy and maybe they can just run a few gigawatt carbon sequestration plants...

I'm actually fairly optimistic that they will be up to the task. I mean, can you imagine how pathetic the outcomes would have been if you would have asked 1919 Earth to solve the problems we've cracked in the last 50 years?
Really nice, tried with a chart and worked smoothly.

Just for fun: would be nice to know max publishing - I just tried 1k * 30 columns and it errored out. I wanted to see how I could interact with a large chart of data.
There's just so many Star Wars movies, and so many Marvel movies, and while I've seen most in theaters, they are basically juvenile blockbuster cookie cutter crap.

The first 3 star wars films where important for their era, but most of the later ones are just forgettable sci-fi (for non-discerning fans). Not to mention letting down parts of the canon (e.g. the Solo movie, or "Kylo Ren", a hipster/teenage goth abomination that took Darth Vader's iconic status and pissed all over it).

Marvel too has movie diarrhea, with 1 in 10 movies being anything to write home about (eg. Logan).

I'd vote for less superhero movies and less Star Wars reboots and sequels/prequels, and more original stories. Plus, where's that Foundation series?
I think the state of CS education is actually responsible for a lot of overabstraction; students are taught early to worship abstraction (because of all the buzzwordy benefits it allegedly brings) and apply it liberally, and not taught when not to do it. A good way to counter that might be to get them to read early opensource code (e.g. first few versions of UNIX, some BSD stuff, etc.), which I think is mostly an example of "abstraction done right".
"Fail Fast" doesn't have to mean crash airplanes. Quality and agility are orthogonal things. Agility is about understanding your requirements by producing prototypes and talking to stalkholders using those prototypes. Once you do the QA work necessary for safety critical software, misunderstandings about requirements or wrong requirements are the major source of failures.
On top of that we are living in the era of social media, where these type of information are no longer hard to find.
That would free su.se for SUSE Linux, perfect.
It's plainly obvious that the GP poster made no such claim about category theory, and the OP post states several times that category theory is merely tangential to the topic.
I looked into this, and Ft. Collins is a "Home Rule Municipality" under state law, meaning it can name itself either a town or city. It seems to have chosen to be a city, so you're right.

Around the world, it seems that there's one consistent criterion for something being a city: it must have self-rule and a certain amount of government structure. Some places (notably not the US) have population requirements, but those tend to be really low (100-1,000 people)[1].

I personally appreciate the headline saying "town" in a colloquial sense, because I don't think of 170,000 as "huge" and it's significant that it's not a large city doing this.

For context, Ft. Collins is not in the top 150 most populous US cities, and to even reach the top 50, it would have to more than double in size.

Yes, but the overall market also doesn't jibe with taste, as Zappa would say...
I'm guessing they don't do this voluntarily because they've seen how the music industry had its revenues eroded by Spotify/iTunes (where mostly the user can pick one and get pretty much everything). They're probably ignoring the fact that music piracy is presumably lower than ever because of this.
>I cannot imagine anything worse that one could ever say to a cop.

From the physical pentests I've heard about (never done it myself), they tend to get cordial with LE if they get caught.

This might change that if we find out that the cops were less than friendly even after they showed the get-out-of-jail-free card/pentesting contract.
It's in the interest of the lawyers working for the state to enrich themselves and their lawyer friends who will probably take the other side of the case. Money for lawyers everywhere! America works like this because our laws are written by them.
Any TV except the ones in most hotel rooms that lock down the HDMI input and the ones that don’t exist in most cars. Then you have the issue of the kids fighting over what to watch and wanting to watch video on their phones and tablets.

I think upfront planning is almost always a good thing. The problem starts when people think that the plan doesn’t need to be revisited. You need to be willing to change the plan as new facts develop.

In the end no matter what you do software and hardware development is unpredictable. No methodology will ever change that.
The last full system I delivered was created using a sort of waterfall/agile hybrid. We worked from a backlog, in short-ish sprints, but nothing was put into production until a certain milestone was reached, after multiple sprints.

We were replacing an existing, legacy system, and even though we switched over "piece by piece", each module of the old system was at least 10-12 sprints. And the end-users couldn't do a meaningful test of their normal tasks until most of each module was implemented.

How to teams who manage to work more "agile" do this sort of thing?

Very nice.
Your point about having a single account is correct, but the sheer amount of decisions when browsing the web would quickly become overwhelming.

Say that in an hour you browse two articles from the NYT, one from the WSJ, five Wikipedia pages, one click on a BuzzFeed listicle, and one blog post from Joe's blog.

Is the NYT article worth $0.50? $0.25? What about the WSJ one? And surely Wikipedia is worth as much as a NYT article. But the BuzzFeed one is definitely worth less. Maybe $0.05? It was moderately entertaining after all. And what about Joe's blog?

Having to do dozens of these micro decisions per hour is exhausting, and is the whole point behind having a system that allocates funding automatically. It's not optimal, but it avoids decision fatigue.
No, I'm saying that "unintentionally" is being used in the "accidently" sense when it should be used in the "negligently" sense.

500 accidental gun deaths are almost all negligence and should result in criminal charges. But, in actuality, many are suicides.
It does not have to be a scam at all, it can just be very annoying and I would mention that in a review as well.

* It might be a way to save the hotel the cc processing costs (or even just time, if outside a 1st world country). This easily adds $10 to my bill for having to use my EC card (EC := debit card used a lot in Europe) in a foreign country at a foreign bank's ATM.

* That deposit could just be the daily limit for your card in that country. You'll unfortunately have to eat at the hotel because they are the only ones who graciously let you pay the day after.

* It might be a scam to get you seek the next ATM where someone is waiting for you and you start the millionaires' tour: Use all cards at gun- or knife point until their limits are reached.
Yeah compared to Affinity, Inkscape is garbage.

I would say Inkscape is even less robust than Gimp.
That was quite courteous way to perceive the question and respond. I can do one better:

The link is to a Wikipedia page with a long url. You can submit a title to mask the link. The op posted ".SU" and so .su isn't a link, it's just a title.
Permits are required for burying conduit, and are limited. Sometimes the city owns the poles that run along streets, sometimes the incumbent telco provider does, and space on those poles is limited. Sometimes local governments will promise monopoly access to a provider in exchange for free services to the city and school districts.

Is the OP claiming that he/uber built systems that have no discernible architecture?

Confusing methodology with architecture is not helpful. Even the simplest system has 'architecture'. Now this can be arrived at via: happenstance methodology, or expression of internalized well known types, or via a more formal process.

It’s too controversial to raise the idea that both super-expensive sectors (education and healthcare) are both heavily regulated and funded through government. Most act like it’s a mad-max capitalist free-for-all already when in fact it’s quite the opposite.
(I hope this is not entirely off topic)
Since I first commented in this thread I saw a regular fluctuation in upvotes/downvtes (which is totally reasonable since the topic is divisive). I wonder how much that is due to a geographical distribution.

In this case the dataset would not be big enough to draw statistical conclusions, but this site (like most forums) slightly suffer from the duality of US-based and international, as it cannot be truly both at the same time.

I can see many reason to never implement something like a geographical indication of which countries upvoted/downvoted (especially as it would contradict the spirit of this site), but in contentious topics it would allow some useful insights.
His comment begins with "I am skeptical".

Do we consider skepticism to be abusive now?

Anyway, he subsquently said that he changed his mind on that point, after discussions with other people about it. You ought to include that if you're going to try to represent the man's history.
There is an ISO-standardized graph query language: Prolog and its decidable fragment Datalog, both widely used (relatively) for decades. Will the new language be based on it?

Another question is whether the model having driven ISO standardization in the past (software vendors working together to create a large, visible, and diverse market) is still relevant in post-standard cloud times. I sure hope it is, but we haven't seen public demand for standards (with the exception of web standards) for well over a decade now.
