If that was his only point it wouldn't be contraversial. The contraversial part is saying those movies be doesn't prefer aren't examples of cinema.

This isn't part of the historical use of this word. The Lumiere brothers coined the French version of the term, from Greek roots meaning "moving drawings" or "moving pictures". Motion pictures, movies, it all means the same thing. The nature of the content and whether you considered it artistic was not relevant.

Consider whether the marvel movies have cinematographers.. consider the craft that goes into making movies look so good. Consider the makeup artists, Foley artists, set designers, etc. These movies are triumphs, and only small minds can find nothing in them but drivel.

But the elites need words to separate themselves from others. And they've chosen to co-opt "cinema" for that purpose. Their goal in doing this is very clearly that draw a line between what they consider good and what they consider bad.

It's by definition elitist.

I'll get voted down for saying it, though, because a good chunk of HN is elitist too, and there's no one elites protect more than their fellow elites.
Bose QC35 headphones should be 100% functional over BLE without needing an app (I pair them with my iPhone as a normal BLE headset, and they pair with my Mac and Windows Desktop as well, no app installed).

Also, they include a physical audio cable which works all the time... I'm curious what could have caused your headset to not function normally, as I deal with many, many, many QC35s (my company gives one to each hired employee) and have never heard of (or experienced myself!) the app being a pre-req.
I was thinking the same thing! I'm excited by the possibilities.
. . . about half the resistance energy was creating waste heat.

Would be interesting to see if they measured temperature differences, with and without magnet. A laser infra-red thermometer works well, even a $30 model at Harbor freight
There's an old quote from a legal scholar to the effect that it was a mistake to introduce patents, but now that we have them, it would be a greater mistake to get rid of them.

I honestly don't know. With regard to software, it's clear that patents are causing net harm to the industry - so maybe TiVo makes more money off licensing DVR patents than they did from DVRs, but that's about as close as software patents have ever come to working. But then you have cases like pharmaceuticals, where the high cost of R&D and the long lead time to getting a product to market makes patent protection absolutely essential to recoup costs. I suspect that most industries are closer to software than pharma, but suspicion isn't enough to go on.

I do know that the theoretical basis of the patent system, the exchange of public disclosure for temporary monopoly, doesn't work at all. A typical patent is written in a strange, pedantic style that obscures more about the underlying invention than it reveals. And a typical patented "invention" is usually a small aspect of a much larger product, parts of which can also be protected by trade secret and copyright as well, and those last well after the patent expires. So the rationale is utterly incoherent, but it's the law and we're stuck with it.
Yeah, and in SQL that's INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE on a table/view. Syntactically, using a stored procedure is really no different, and it can have function calls you don't know about because its body could dispatch just like triggers do.

This whole thing about triggers being implied/hidden is not based on anything other than taste.
The article you're commenting on mentions reasonably large firms being held accountable. What's your basis for the "smallest and weakest" claims?
Amazing. You've inspired me to get back into learning Bash. I love how simple it is.

Does money define art?
Sounds like he doesn't like adaptations, then, which doesn't make any sense at all.

The Russo Bros, Favreau, Joss Whedon, James Gunn, Chris Nolan, Stan Lee, Bruce Timm. These aren't committee members, these are the visionaries that make the movies Mr. Scorsese seems to think have no soul, taken no risk.

Besides, he didn't call out franchise movies, he called out Marvel films. Your interpretation doesn't hold water. Adaptations have existed for decades, he doesn't seem to mind them, he even makes them! Do you think he invented "Bill the Butcher"?
We know who you are, and what you did to PFSense....
If I could upvote you a thousand times I would.

Americans, well lets say those in the Bay Area, should be absolutely ashamed at the state of the place. There are poor regions in other countries that have life, verve, some sense of activity that "cities" all in the BA desperately need. Americans should hang their heads in shame at how uncultured and depressing the copy-paste strip malls, parking lots, shitty roads and shitty colonial Spanish architecture that screams "drought and death" just pales in comparison to Europe or Asia.

I hate living here so much.
See, I feel exactly opposite here (funnily enough - TDK is also an all-time favorite of mine).

Opening night super hero movies, and Star Wars movies - are the only things I've bothered to go see at the theater for in the last 5 years now.

I like that they are events to experience with friends. We buy our tickets together and chat beforehand about predictions. People dress up and take pics in line. The crowd knows when to cheer and laugh. The visuals and sound effects take advantage of the medium.

I don't know any millennials who actually enjoy the watching the type of movies that Scorsese is talking about. The price per head at most theaters is too high for the entertainment you get. If I want to watch something with depth, then I can find television or streaming series which are far more enjoyable and actually have enough time for character development. I think the resurgence of shorter-run series and anthology shows (Fargo, True Detective) has addressed the primary issue TV shows had of not resolving storylines completely to keep you hooked another season. Movies just seem too short in comparison.
I was a teacher for five years, am related to multiple teachers and many of my friends are teachers.

If you have any actual comments on the statistical analysis comparing teachers with other workers and how they’re paid feel free to share.
Kind of like how doctors have malpractice insurance.
Getting classified as G&T is a joke and severely damaging. All it means is your parents taught you to read a little earlier than most other kids. It's mostly about giving your parents and school administrators bragging rights. Everyone calls you a genius for the next 10 or 12 years. You incorporates that as the most important part of your identity. Then people level out. You aren't the best at everything anymore. Some classes actually get hard. You graduate in the top 10%, but not the top 1%. Your core identity shatters. You are smart, but there are lots of smart people and you really aren't that special. Suddenly you are emotionally 10 years behind the people how figured that out in middle school. Hopefully you can pull out of the spiral and live a normal life.
I agree with your overall point, but your analogy doesn’t work that well for me. The Marvel movies (particularly the biggest of them) are insanely intricate and detailed and could only be created by both a huge team of talented performers, craftspeople, and technical experts, and a (probably smaller) executive team executing on a vision.

I still agree that there’s a difference in genre between, say, Avengers: Infinity War and Goodfellas, and I don’t know how to articulate precisely the difference, but I’m certain that the difference is not that the latter requires more talent or contains more details that reward multiple viewings.
This reads like it was written by someone who has never had something they've created criticized at any real level...

Edit: Since I'm rate limited, my point is that his is an unexamined dismissal of someone else's creative effort that only comes from never having your own work glibly dismissed out of hand.
People separate as they go through life, and that should start in school. You shouldn't have to wait until you graduate.
Sphinx is very powerful, I recommend it.

Gifted education (and other advanced classes) were important because it taught me it was okay to be smart and learn things.

A lot of other kids will try and keep you down. Make fun of you for using big words and knowing things and learning things.

At the same time I'm glad I didn't grow up in a bubble with only gifted kids. Coping with people different than you is an important skill.
Considering many developers that run Linux on a MacBookPro, I am sure they will buy a dell if it can bring the right quality & is more affordable. The main thing would be high iFixit score.

Even as a mac user, the apps I use daily run on linux as well but its '0' tweaking that I have to do, is what keeps me with Mac. Basically, my laptop is my tool to get my work done. I would like to focus on my work rather than focus on managing my tool.
Art is subjective. I get Scorsese's point and in many ways agree. In regards to risk -- superhero movies have few. The plot is very structured and a substantial part of the plot is adapted.

Man, your highschool experience sounds totally different than mine. Highschool wasn't always great, but it was mostly ok and I had a lot of good times. I wasn't popular, but had good friends.

I am also a middle aged guy with a couple of kids, and I think raising children is way more stressful than highschool ever was.

Bitcoin is a non-sovereign, hard-capped supply, global, immutable decentralized digital store of value. It’s an insurance policy against monetary and fiscal policy irresponsibility from governments and central banks globally.

Bitcoin’s genesis block contains a reference to the 2008 financial crisis; Bitcoin is pretty clearly a response to what was happening October 2008, when the Bitcoin white paper was released.

Ironically, the global economy is contracting even as we’re still dealing with the quantitative easing that was used to keep things afloat the last time. Say what you will, but there’s a good chance bitcoin will be the safe haven, which it currently is for Argentina and Venezuela.
If you could share something about where and when your parents were working that would be most informative, thanks. Certainly there are outliers in every population but the study is talking about the teaching population, on average.
I’m not sure I understand why somebody would object to running an HTTPS server?
? Not sure what you mean. Of course they are, that's why I listed them! They're good films that seem to defy the "Marvel movies play it safe" stance Mr. Scorsese is claiming.
This is recipe for disaster for everyone.
I've shared the same opinion about Marvel movies for long time. My girlfriend absolutely loves them, so we do watch them together, but I honestly find them really boring. They have stories that constantly turn, huge production value, etc., but none of that really moves me. It's going to sound cliche, but I prefer movies that make one think.
Similar critique to what some people say about modern first person shooters being "on rails" [1].

"Like most Call of Duty games, Black Ops 3’s story campaign is a highly scripted, tightly controlled experience. Go here, stand next to that, shoot those guys. Sometimes, in fact, you don’t even have to pull the trigger." [2]

It's not the best in the USA but I understand it's not terrible. https://www.oecd.org/centrodemexico/medios/44582910.pdf

It's also incredibly complex so perhaps it was a silly thing for me to comment on as I don't think it's that easy to define or measure.
Fair, but that wasn’t the distinction I was trying to make. The point is, films can have legitimately different purposes, just as things you hang on the wall can. I hesitate to say that one of those purposes is higher than all the others, but that does seem to be the judgment the auteurs are making.

The effort that went into them can be (not always — but sometimes) orthogonal to that.
This is terrible of course. We should do what we can to increase the chance of third parties to get on ballots. The idea that each party gets to be a potential king maker because they always appear on the next election's ballots and get to pick people to appear is terrible. In Washington state the two primary people with the highest votes get on the final ballot. This can lead to two candidates of the same party making the ballot. Perhaps we should switch this to the top 3 to encourage 3rd parties. Certainly two makes it more likely that only and R & D make it.

Fines for larger companies are either too small to matter or will be negotiated down.

Larger companies also have a much easier time gaining consent (like Google and Facebook) that clears their usage while smaller companies struggle. This can be seen by the constant consent popups on every website. Users click yes on the major sites, then deny the rest.
Fair enough, but better CMB data will resolve the issue at some point. It's not that we need a totally new way of measuring the space curvature.

It's interesting to wonder if the marvel comics themselves are created as you say, by motivated individuals or by committee. Definitely the origin stories (at least the ones we've been fed) are of one, sometimes two, writers, hatching basically every super hero character we know.

But those origin stories are all in the past (the most recent that's culturally noticed is MacFarlane with Spawn?) I wonder if the current vanguard of marvel comics (or others) are driven by individuals or by committee. I would guess that it's closer to the former, because comic _books_ are still not the enormous business that the movies are, and hence have much fewer people to please.

Hopefully Marvel et al are wise enough to hand the reigns of new, current books over to new, motivated, and individual, writers.

You wouldn't try to submit it to the "actual legitimate Bitcoin network" though. You'd bootstrap a whole new network instead. People might prefer a new blockchain that starts with a more even distribution, instead of enriching early adopters of BTC.

That said, blockchain may not work at all, as applied to digital currencies. The abilities to revoke and expropriate are tools, like prisons are. Their use, on occasion, is just. Society might not want to see those tools discarded.
The GPDR is a large compliance burden. The bigger your company is the less this hurts you because it’s very approximately a fixed cost. So the GPDR kneecaps small companies while being a painful but bearable expense for large ones. On net it helps the internet giants by reducing competition.

Haha this is funny.
superhero movies are generally liked by capitalist types as it tick boxes the right things. good wins over bad, you work hard you succeed, and when you succeed you get all the good things. + very poor treatment of death, failure and loss. revelation and surprise are indeed missing. there are many movies that i cherish for just one scene eg., the survival scene in dersu uzala, senate hearing scene in scorsese's aviator when hughes says 'thats what i do'. these moments make me pause the movie and contemplate and play it back again etc which is easier to do on the smaller screen at home though ;)

i disagree that all movies are for the big screen. star wars yes, a jane austen drama? come on. superhero movies work well on the big screen or as he puts it audio-visual entertainment especially without audience interaction. a game would work on super small screens but not a movie. although people are putting up with anything on long commutes.

Am I allowed to make a subscription url publically available? Say I write a package which has a paywalled package as a dependency. If I want to publish MY package freely on npm under an MIT license, can I pay the subscription fee and commit the resulting fetch-url with my license key into github, and transitivly allow users of my package to use the paywalled package?
This comment seems to miss the point. It's fine if you like the superhero genre and other highly produced films. The issue he's bringing up is that this has taken over and reduced the incentive for other types of films, director-driven "cinema" instead of studio-driven cash cows, to be shown in theaters.

Framing an argument as "X is not Y" is a great way to ensure that everyone ignores all your points in favor of arguing over the definition of Y. I think that there's fairly obviously a fundamental difference in nature between a typical Marvel movie and a typical Hitchcock movie, but framing it as "Marvel Movies Aren't Cinema" just leads to an argument over definitions rather than any meaningful discussion.
It's not really reasonable to compare a residential ISP to one for a college campus. It probably is cheaper if you count only the Internet service itself, but everything between that ISP and each end user's device has significant fixed and maintenance / upgrade costs attached. Your residential ISP can give you an all-in-one modem / WiFI router and you're good to go.

"the gradual but steady elimination of risk"

This isn't limited to movies. Economic stimulus is ever-present, eliminating the business cycle and creative destruction. Our modern conception of politics (at least before Trump was elected) was to be boring and risk-free, moving along the same paths even if a course correction might make more sense.

And as for personal safety, we are amazingly safe, but terribly frightened (I assume becasue we lost all calibration for danger).

As for life in general, everyone seems compelled to go to college because it's the safe life plan.

I'm not suggesting that we give up the gains we've made. But I can't help but wonder what we've lost in terms of true creativity and freedom.
So how do you define art? And can you tell it apart from Pornography?

As someone who usually doesn't get art, especially the more traditional forms, looking in to that box a lot of what I see makes no sense to me and some of it I couldn't tell apart from an acclaimed artist and a child.

As far as I can tell Art is whatever a large enough group of people decides is art based on consensus.
Vax's had modified bits, 68030s had both (dirty managed in software), 80x896s have both [an 'unnamed' risc architecture (I worked on) had both, managed in software]

The big advantage of handling this stuff in software is that any hardware doing this has to go through the system caches which is just really messy - better to use the existing coherent paths already provided and provide hardware support so you don't have to do this often

If that is what they are earning without burdening thousands of students with unsustainable debt over their careers than I'd argue nothing is wrong with it.

For example if the salary is 100% from NIH grants and the prof makes 500k, more power to them.

If the prof makes 100k and all their salary is funded by student loans, then they should decide whether their livelihood is worth the externalities they are creating.
