My primary is the lack of central distribution. I agree, $12/mo is probably too low to provide new content. I would generally be fine with paying more.

What I dislike is playing whackamole with what service I can get certain content from. Is this show on Hulu? Or is it Netflix? Oh, right, Disney pulled it from Netflix and now it's on Disney+. Continue ad nauseam. Getting notifications that new content from a series is available is likewise disparate across platforms.

There needs to be a central management point. Similar to how Amazon aggregates physical goods from many vendors, offering me a central and familiar interface to provide search, discovery and payments. They then handle distributing payment and providing the actual content.

Amazon's Fire TV provides me with some of this (i.e. I can say "play such and such show" and it will provide me with an interface that lets me open a provider that has the content), but the fact that it's not available on my computer and that it doesn't manage the subscriptions is somewhat painful.

Considering it appeared on google webmaster blog, the argument about "Flash going to bed" is very childish and juvenile. When your son is not willing to go bed, you probably insists, because he will have problems with focus in school next day, but that doesn't really apply to Flash.

ICCV 2019 Best Papers Announced
Most of the time in ancient battles was spent in reforming the lines while the combatants watched each other from a distance. In between there were a few skirmishes, a lot of swearing and battle cries and all waiting for an opportune moment or looking for a weakness in formation. Committing to engagements, like we see in the movies and games would have risk in the breaking of the lines and an eventual route.
I rarely spent a dollar in video game economies, but I attribute that to most video game economies not rewarding it well. It’s hard to design that, because players can find themselves out of cash and that might create dead ends if it’s necessary.

Though perhaps the Sims or tycoon games suggest otherwise. I was always running broke in those.

I don't count my investments as income until I put the money in my checking account. I invested ~$40,000 some years back (over time), sold $20,000 a few years ago for a one time purchase (to get some family heirlooms back in the family), and have $120,000 left. The current plan is to retire on that money for a year before I start touching my actual retirement funds - of course once I get closer to retirement I'll actually calculate how taxes impact this plan.

For the most part though I ignore it. The best returns consistently go to investors who have forgotten about their account.

only do this if you need the money < 5 years. Timing the market is not possible, and while I agree many troubling signs, it's impossible to time when to buy back in, and you lose dividends and potential gains during the time on the sidelines.

If you need the money short term, then it shouldn't be invested in equities.
>but you'd have to get a pretty nice VPN to not impact your experience by 250ms/req.

Eh? I was thinking the opposite, that's such a ludicrous latency overhead that it would be trivial to go to any VPS provider even sort of nearby and spin up a $5 instance with Algo. The only concern normally for some of them is the super cheap simple managed instances often have data caps too (though some provides are bandwidth limits only), but in this use case even that doesn't matter because the limits are still higher than Comcast's regardless. There are datacenters in Denver, but even if you had to go all the way to SF and it's a worst case adding 1800 miles RTT that should still only be around 10-14ms or so right? The article seems a little silly to go on so much about a few kb of data out of tens of gigabytes or a TB or whatever Comcast's caps are, but 250ms is wild, even without all the other breakage.

Although I've always heard that if you're ever forced to go Comcast, the average HN type would be best off seeking a Comcast Business connection that has actual support and customers that use the internet fully.
Currently i have mainly two different passive income streams. A side project and multifamily property investments.

My side project (https://www.teamcalapp.com) returns around $2500/month and growing. I think the main improvement to be done is doing more marketing, which is unfortunately not so passive.

Im also investing in apartment complexes. Right now i have 4 passive investments. Since I’m only a passive LLC member that income is truly passive. Those investment deliver nice regular cashflow (8-10%) and appreciation once sold. Right now I’m in the process of buying my own property together with friends (50-80units). That will then be a bit more work but still partially passive once all is setup with the property management company.
There were some great UI suggestions from the community for how Apple could have indicated that a component supported a 3D Touch gesture. There are still a lot of places where I think subtle "hints" would increase discoverability without negatively impacting the iOS aesthetic.
In the US, typefaces themselves are not subject to copyright law (though that doesn’t mean ‘font piracy’ is legal - the ‘computer code’ backing a font is still copyrightable - but you could presumably extract the outlines and replicate a font exactly without running afoul of U.S. copyright law.)

It depends what business model and culture you want to nurture. Does enough loyalty stop before stockholm syndrome or even after?

Keep in mind that Francis got promotion vetoed against meritorious reason out of spite thanks to collusion of an inept engineer. What loyalty companu showed? Still considering promotion he would have gotten? That is not even amending damage done by politics.

Of course you'll get loyalty from inept people, they don't have much else to offer. I am not sure if that's a value you're looking for. You wanna have politicians, you promote loyalty, you wanna have engineers you promote merit and skills.

The problem the author states in Vim is overstated. All you need is to write two functions that switch the input method to English when entering normal mode and back to your original input method when entering insert/replace mode. It's only 24 lines of vimscript including whitespaces and comments.

Out of all the TUI programs out there, Vim with it's modal design is probably the one program least affected by a conflation between keypresses and text input.
Followup question (if allowed). If your passive income involves software and you're also employed at a software company, how do you deal with the potential legal problems?

Most contracts don't allow for commercial side projects and the company owns anything you create even outside of working hours. Do people just keep quiet and not tell their employer? How risky is it? I know some people who simply don't bother telling their employer (and may or may not pay taxes, too), but I guess you can only do this up to a certain point.

When I moved to Daly City my options were either Comcast or DSL. I picked DSL (w/ Sonic), at significantly slower speeds. Sonic's DSL is just resold AT&T DSL, which I also hate, but I hate Comcast more.

If my only options were Comcast or dial-up, I'd probably still pick dial-up.
NCAA to 'immediately consider updates' to rules regarding athletes' image rights
This is exactly why I cancelled my Comcast service a few years ago and switched to Sonic, even though it had orders of magnitude less bandwidth. I even offered to stay on as a customer, and pay whatever 'overage' fees they charged, if they implemented some way to make exceptions and never inject the data cap warning on my account, but they claimed that was impossible. When I returned the rental equipment, I made it absolutely clear that I considered this practice immoral and reprehensible.

If anyone else considers cancelling their service, but has trouble getting Comcast to let them actually do it, just remove your payment method from the account, and let them know that if they attempt charging to it again, you'll sue them for fraud; that'll get your account closed real quick!
The NCAA will allow athletes to profit from their name, image, and likeness

That is inaccurate for many reasons.

The Supreme Court declined to overturn the Ninth Circuit, because there was no circuit split or other issue of such urgency to require the Supreme Court to weigh in.

The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled (somewhat) in favor of the plaintiffs, and remanded the matter to the district court having reversed the lower court on some questions of law.

I think it is still a live controversy in the district court, but it seems likely that the plaintiffs will win on the merits or obtain a settlement.

The gatekeeper here is Adobe, not Google. This is what you get when you store information in a proprietary format with a single implementation controlled and developed by a single private company. There's always the risk they'll kill the product (like they're doing here) and your information will become inaccessible.

Also, it's not just Google doing this. Pretty much every major browser vendor is dropping support for Flash in 2020.

Indeed. For instance, C has opinions like:

- If you're any function, you may know who called you, without resorting to platform-specific extensions that come with various limitations.

- You may not know which areas of your activation chain are root pointers, for implementing accurate garbage collection.

- You may not dynamically construct a function call with arbitrary arguments and invoke it

I didn't say that, I was simply pointing out that your comparison was flawed.

That said, there is a similar dynamic at play that both drives down voter participation rates and pushes users towards proprietary software.

Citizens who elect not to vote and users who elect to use proprietary software are not making those decisions in a vacuum.

It is entirely possible to place some value on your right to vote while choosing not to do so because you’ve determined that the benefit from doing so both to you personally as well as in its ability to impact the broader system is not worth the time and energy.

Analogously, it is equally possible to place some value on open and free software while choosing to use proprietary systems for exactly the same reasons.

Lots of things in the world function in this way due to network effects and inertia, as others in this thread have explained.

For example, you might be aware that prices of goods and services are inflated by the costs associated with credit card transaction fees, while still deciding to pay with credit cards because you know that your individual decision to do so will have no impact on the price that you personally pay.
No, I think the poster is bothered by how absurd and unscientific such a pursuit is. It proposes that perhaps the people who made this dataset don't actually know anything about music, and are just nerds. This behavior is a common form of malpractice in composing data sets such as these.

Because the United States has a bad habit of bombing their countries, killing their labor leaders, and destabilizing their economies through forced privatization and resource extraction.
I agree on performance, but I believe GP is correct on availability. Search for a threadripper-based workstation from HP, Dell, Lenovo — you won’t find any, they only offer models with Xeon and i9. Search for a fast AMD laptop — you can only get one if you order a custom-spec model using their configuration tools, they take quite some time to deliver.
I agree, bankruptcy is an unfortunate solution for unexpected medical debt, as it impacts ones consumer credit score. FWIW the GP comment was referring to "banks who loan money to folks who cannot afford it" which implies baling out consumer debt instead of filing for bankruptcy
I agree it is "pretty much standard" but the ISPs and other network providers are not doing this with TLS traffic. They are only injecting the scripts in HTTP requests without TLS, at least in my experience.

Why are you buying a new car? You can get a very decent car for $8K. And if you did buy a new one, you don't have repairs and maintenance expenses.

> The combination of public transit, on-demand self-driving cars, better city design, telecommuting could allow us to redirect that capital more productively.

Doubtful. Public transit usually takes 3 times as long, so you are wasting human time in exchange for capital (there's a reason people buy cars - it's not because they want to waste money). Self-driving cars will never happen, and city design can't help all that much.

From your list, only telecommuting can help, but only if you do it full time.

(Also your dollar estimate assumes all new cars, which is far from accurate.)
Can you explain how it's wrong? Obviously, normally you want things to scale more slowly rather than faster, but other than applying to a different thing than usual, it seems accurate to me -- human drivers improve at a constant rate regardless of how many there are, and self-driving cars improve linearly with their number.
C is not opinionated enough w.r.t. side effects and order of evaluation, which means that programmers have to learn to be highly opinionated "human compilers" to avoid writing bogus code.
I thought about getting into real estate like this, but my experience being a poor renter made it feel too parasitic. Does it bother you being a landlord who sucks money out of the situation while adding essentially no value to the people from whom you are taking regular income?

> Self-driving cars can share their experience perfectly,

I'm not a machine learning expert, but I'm not convinced this assertion is well grounded. If you have two ML systems, I don't know of a simple, general, reliable way to transfer the "knowledge" stored in one to the other without disrupting the "knowledge" already within the other.

If you mean just copying the video feed, sure, but that's only one input variable. There's no guarantee of a linear relationship between hours of video feed and driving quality. Humans seem to hit an asymptotic lower bound in the collision probability even as they accumulate experience, and while that might not be true for self-driving cars, it isn't guaranteed a priori.

I don't think we need to have a full understanding of the brain to make progress on those fronts. If you look at neuralink (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-vbh3t7WVI) there is some pretty amazing brain computer interfacing that is already happening. If we assume Moore's law hold up with neural sensor resolution, then within 10-15 years there will be as many input sensors as there are cones in the human eye. There are also plenty of other already existing technologies that can help aid in making her life easier.

I'm not saying "don't worry about it" as an uncle with two nieces I know how difficult it would be just to ignore something. You want your family and dependents to have happy full lives and every little struggle makes you worry and think. But what I am saying is, have a little hope. When you see articles like this, they are normally talking about theoretical and philosophical meanings of what intelligence and consciousness is, there is plenty of solid practical and applied science and progress that relates to your daughter's situation.

Don't get yourself worked up about the ponderings of math and computer nerds. The real life changing stuff is not being done in AI right now, its being done in universities, hospitals, and laboratories by scientists, doctors, and professors.

> I believe the number one cause of death for Americans under the age of 30 is traffic accidents.

Traffic accidents are not included in the "accidental death" category, and haven't been for as long as I've been looking. From page 2 of the full report[0]:

"For example, Malignant neoplasms of the trachea, bronchus and lung (lung cancer) and Motor vehicle accidents are not rankable causes of death (see “Procedures for ranking causes of death”), although they can be identified using the standard mortality tabulation lists. If these causes were included in the current rankings, lung cancer would be placed among the 10 leading causes of death with a rank of 6th, whereas Motor vehicle accidents would rank 13th."

It's not even close to being #1, for any age group. More people die from suicide every year than from car accidents. Please also keep in mind that 1 out of every 6 traffic fatalities in the United States was a pedestrian.

Because the fee is paid upfront, and this is assuming you make equal payments each month for 12 or 18 months. Compared with a loan that charged normal interest it would only accrue on the current balance, and the interest you pay each month goes down as the principal goes down. If you had a 12 month balance transfer and made only minimum payments, then paid off the lump sum at the end it would be lower APR.
