> It's about being the one who has taken ownership of the chores being done, by whom, when, etc.

But you can also view that as a power relationship.

If one person demands to set the standard for what chores should be done, when and how, and expects the other person to obey, it seems fair that the orders should be spelled out explicitly to the powerless person.
It's odd to pretend this started with Facebook when it happens in almost every online forum. There was plenty of outrage on the early Internet. We called it a "flame war" back then.

Amplification is just a fancy word for sharing. You don't need a fancy algorithm. It can be done using forwarding and reply-all. And chain letters predate the Internet.

The software is a bit different, but the main difference is that we're more connected than back then. There are more ways to copy messages and people get notified faster.
They did. As the Bloomberg article mentioned^, Juicero plus at least some of their investors knew, and multiple investors felt that the product Juicero delivered didn't live up to what they were pitched. (Note that Juicero didn't get any new funding between their initial launch and going out of business.)

>In this case e.g. Netflix will not offer full HD or 4k resolutions, but otherwise everything works fine,

I don't understand the point of this type of thinking. Video DRM isn't like Denuvo where it can actually get you a few days or even weeks before any pirated versions exist on the web. If it can be watched by a human pirates will copy it, even if they have to rip it straight from the display controller of their monitors. I have never once had the slightest difficulty or delay in finding pirated versions of video content on Day 1 or even before, and at the highest-produced quality and resolution. Why do providers think making life hard only on paying customers is a good thing?

The thing is, as they cover in their post, there’s nothing to “fix.” It isn’t broken. The error is actually that it refuses to run without a higher security level than many platforms support.
> I have no idea why they go thru the whole charade of retyping everything on the computer at the rental car location if you don't have status

It's a security feature. It's more secure for them to retype everything then to try and verify that everything you typed matches the ID you put in front of them.

When you have status they've already done all that once and they trust you because you've successfully rented from them before. Without status, they have no reason to trust you, so they have to verify everything.

It's a risk/reward trade off for them.
If Apple is the "same" as every other company, why am I paying them a premium?
It's been tried. It doesn't work. It doesn't change the minds of Christian believers, just as pointing out the lack of evidence for the Burning Times doesn't change the minds of feminist Wiccans.

People don't follow religions because they're true. They follow them because they offer narratives and social interactions they personally find compelling.

Understanding the social interactions - they're not always obvious - might do more to make religions less appealing than yet another unsuccessful attempt to debunk the core narrative.

If it can wash the naivety away from many people's (and customers') eyes when it comes to companies who loudly advertise themselves as different, open, transparent, a breath of fresh air and so on, that's good to take. They aren't any better, neither internally or externally. You find the same tactics, the same opacity as soon as something derails, and the same characters in there (+ a couple of extra hotheads).

You're ignoring the analysis that Disney+ seems to be blocking use entirely at the lower "security level" assessed by Widevine.

It would not take significant time or effort for them to change the threshold value if it were something they considered broken.

It seems prudent at this point to avoid becoming a paying customer until they address it, if you care about this sort of thing.

Interesting. I'd been toying with signing up for Disney+ at some point (when does it even go live officially?). But if this is the case, I absolutely won't be getting a subscription as I use Linux as my desktop OS.

"No Linux support" == "no customer"
Huh. I would have termed "emotional labor" as doing the work to maintain harmony of relationships within and outside of the home. Like being the person responsible for setting up family events, sending cards, remembering birthdays etc. Also in parenting being the more present parent. While the need to be household manager is more "mental load" like are we out of laundry soap or when is the kid's next doctor appointment. But apparently those uses aren't really accurate.
>Keep this story in mind when someone tells you that tech is a meritocracy.

I will. But there is nothing new here if you're paying attention. There is also fair competition, an open market and equal opportunities for all. That sentence strikes me as false when your competitors can literally bleed millions for years all the while killing any form of competition. Examples abound, from WeWork to Tesla and all these Uber-like startups [1].

What is a poor, hard-working, honest guy to do in this extremely out of balance scenarios if he's not on the "have-tons-of-money-to-burn-through" side of the equation?!

> The feedback from power users has been amazing - I’ll agree with the popular slogan for Pop!_OS as “the best OS for developers” wholeheartedly. I can install it and start working. No need to install Nvidia drivers, worry about LUKS disk encryption or customizing my desktop at all. It’s perfect, and I am faster than on Pop!_OS for general productivity than on Windows (and a LOT faster than on macOS).

Oh come on. I will never understand this. For your desktop, surely you can afford to spend an hour configuring your system that should work for over a decade. I lost it at installing NVIDIA drivers, is it that difficult or time-consuming or what the heck? :D As far as full disk encryption goes, I would rather do it manually using Arch's wiki than trust someone else with it, especially because there are MANY ways to do it, and they probably had no plausible deniability in mind, which is a nope for anyone who is serious about it. There are lots of different layouts, parameters, and so on. But OK, for people who cannot install NVIDIA drivers or are not willing to spend a minute doing that, then yeah, sure, why not...
I think it's perhaps small font size + serif + low resolution. Serifs can improve readability at times.
I'm pretty sure Disney is optimizing for the majority of their audience who use Windows, OSX, iOS etc, not developers/hackers who run desktop Linux. I'm curious about Android though.

It is uncharitable. A lot of writing intended for very broad audiences surfaces on Hacker News. Writing intended for much smaller audiences also makes the front page from time to time. This is one of those times.

MD-11 and now MAX raise questions on the execution of that. Pilots have to understand the how and why the different thing can fly like the old thing so that when something goes wrong and that invariant is inevitably violated, they aren't caught off guard.
Of course it works, because lying to people to instill a sense of urgency plays on our base emotions and gets us to do things we might not rationally do.

Sellers of snake-oil and other fake "remedies" have been using this sales tactic--"your friends and neighbors have already tried it, look here, see this line of people ready to buy!" that are all plants--since the days of the horse-and-buggy.

Doesn't mean we should still keep lying to our friends and neighbors.
> It would not take significant time or effort for them to change the threshold value if it were something they considered broken.

Do you have reason to believe this? To me that sounds like a complicated change with significant potential business impacts. Have they signed contracts already where this kind of security is ambiguous? Does changing the flag actually solve the issues on all devices or do other issues present, since they have been untested? Testing must happen post-change, I would imagine.

The issue still sounds complex to me. I use Linux and I want Disney+ to support it, obviously. But I don't see Disney as being in the wrong here (yet) - they're potentially just working on the issue before release. We'll see, I guess.
This is what I am talking about:

> function mutate (o) { o.foo = 'bar'; }
> const o = { foo: 'foo' };
> o
{ foo: 'foo' }
> mutate(o);
> o
{ foo: 'bar' }

I am probably not using terminology correctly, but it is not important as far as Javascript is concerned, since the language does not allow for anything else. What is important is that you can mutate objects you pass into functions and this is useful and dangerous at the same time.
If one thinks about how that index is created underneath the covers, it's basically precomputing that column and using it as an index! =)
While I agree with the philosophy that Disney should try to support as many platforms as possible, I really don't think it will notice the Linux market is missing.

The distinction between authoritative and recursive queries is not meaningful in the context of DoH since that protocol is only about recursive servers. A user who connect to cloudflare through DoH is connecting through a recursive server, and knowing that the privacy policy say no logs, is unlikely to expect that logs are kept if the domain owner happens to be a customer of cloudflare.

Cloudflare could do as google and not include any query that comes via the public resolver. Any DoH query would thus be a blackhole in regard to analytics and only display data from users who used someone else recursive resolver for the query. In that way no logs from the public DNS resolver ever ends up as data, the privacy document is followed, and companies can not buy query data by becoming customers to Cloudflare.
They do this because Hollywood doesn't understand technology. Netflix understands technology and understands this stops no one, but they are licensing the content from Hollywood, who thinks this behavior actually helps.

Netflix is forced to play ball with them.

Your next question is usually, "Why doesn't the Netflix original content not have these shenanigans then?".

The answer is that most Netflix content is still made by Hollywood studios, so they have the same restrictions. Netflix is only a distributor in most cases, not the content creator.

The other answer is that it is a lot more complicated in the software and for testing to say "can this content be played at 4K based on the publisher?" than to just say, "DRM level 1 means no 4K".
Cost of building a Linux client should be zero. It's not because they want to have their proprietary DRM/spyware restricting what you can do.

Ever heard the phrase "piracy is a better service", Disney?

Edit: Cost should be negligible. You should build for web/browser standards, not the OS.

When a team is functioning well, deadlines don't matter because of course everyone wants to get the job done, to impress their teammates and feel like they're contributing.

When a team is not functioning well, all the estimation in the world won't fix it. It'll probably just make it worse. And if management decides to use estimates as a measuring stick, engineers are right to dig in, over-estimate, and push back on management in the exact same way they're being pushed by management.
Looks like this is more of "requiring widevine level 2/3", their player and DRM should work with Linux Firefox and Chrome with minimal changes.

"that's how it works" - compelling argument. I never thought about it like that ;).

I wouldn't say I'm against socialized "x"; I'm against government socialized "x".

You, I, and charities don't have the right to forcefully take from others (no matter how noble our stated intentions); so where does the government get this right? Aren't we all equal? Where does the government get rights that you, I, and charities don't have?

Is charities not having the right to forcefully extract donations hurting their cause? I don't think so. Voluntary donations force charities to demonstrate they will wisely use the funds. Resources aren't infinite, and if we want to care for the most people in the best way possible we have to use resources efficiently. Charities attract funds by succeeding in their mission, whereas governments attract funds by failing in their mission.

If government socialized medicine requires a majority, couldn't we just implement it voluntarily and avoid all of the negative ramifications that come with entrusting a small group of politicians with an enormous amount of power that is routinely abused to benefit themselves and large corporations?

I also wonder: Does anyone arguing for government socialized "x" actually believe in it? How much money do people give to the government beyond what is forcefully taken from them? Just a guess, but I think that number is very close to 0.

On the contrary, how much money do people voluntarily give to charities? About $410,000,000,000 last year.
I hate the fact that you may be right, because I really don't like Go in many ways:

- I hate it's module system and package eco-system story.
- I don't like its syntax.
- I don't like its error handling.
- I'd much prefer gradual typing.
- I want to maintain the ability to use interactive interpreters.
- I don't like the fact that instead of being community driven it is Google driven.

But, anecdotally, I see go being used as a second language to Python more than anything else and at an ever accelerating rate.

>According to Jennifer Ellis, The Last Mile’s chief operating officer, tech companies are often resistant to hiring the formerly incarcerated

One of the things I truly don't understand about our justice system. If time served is "repaying your debt to society" then why do anyone but law enforcement have access to your record? If it isn't, then why do we incarcerate people at all?
It's like asking why they bother paying customers with anti-piracy ads at the beginning of legally-purchased DVDs when obviously pirates are going to trim them. It's not supposed to be reasonable.

It's design by committee, it's bikeshedding, it's weird clauses in complex contracts etc... From the right's holder point of view your reasoning doesn't make sense, instead it goes the other way: if people buy our product anyway when we do it that way, why change it? Do you think that when NBC licenses The Office to Netflix they care about Linux users not being able to stream it in 1080p? Do you think Netflix is willing to spend time and money to fight for the tiny portion of the user base who both watches Netflix on Linux and cares for high-def?

Efficient CPU concurrency needs either fine-grained locking (and removal of GIL), or data immutability.

Both seem rather hard to implement.

I predict that for CPU-intensive tasks, you'll keep using extensions in native code (like numpy or pytorch), or keep passing serialized objects through queues in multiprocessing setups.
