He talks about designing a film for the big screen experience but every film he mentioned except maybe "North by Northwest" is vastly superior in a good home theater. "Persona" by Ingmar Bergman is a wonderful film but would gain nothing on a modern digital screen with Atmos sound and speakers that can break windows. His preferred movies are intimate, patient and beautiful but do not in any way take advantage of the format. Many classic films are actual big-screen spectacles like "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", "Lawrence of Arabia", "Wizard of Oz", anything by Akira Kurosawa and hundreds of others but his tastes strike me as explicitly and decidedly "small-screen" and almost anti-cinema if you consider the "cinema" distinction primarily the larger format. Small, intimate movies are great but are sub-par experiences in a cinema next to popcorn munchers and mobile phones. I am a huge movie buff who actually had a Filmstruck subscription and still pay for MUBI. I love the movies he loves but they do not work well in theaters. I would much rather watch these at home. I'll go to the theater for Marvel because those movies are much better in a theater. This is simply not true for his tastes.

It's an interesting idea. The BSL seems like a safer choice given the wording straight-up blocks SaaS's. They're the real threat to ZeroTier.

On a side note, most people contributing to F/OSS don't like AGPL either. They'd instead by griping about that. Folks be irritated one way or another. His profit and their jobs are safer with people griping about BSL, though.
Open Source has a definition. It includes things like GPL and MIT- a wide range of options. The BSL is not an open source license.

They were very pushy about asking "are you going to give me 5 stars?" before/during the stay, and saying things like "my business depends on 5 star ratings". Obviously there are lots of paths out of that situation that don't involve someone giving them 5 stars, but I'm sure it works on people.

On the drive to Cornwall in the UK there’s a moment where as you approach a hill you can see the tips of turbine blades appearing and disappearing over the top. As you get higher you see more and more of the wind farm laid out across the valley.

>And why do you think geothermal power isn't renewable?

Though small scale energy production does seem to be renewable, using just geothermal to reach our needs would likely overuse the resource.
Absolutely this.

I worked for one of the big tech vanity names held as a poster child in the AU. They started to introduce mandatory on-call, which was non-negotiable. For an extra $200 AUD (ex tax) a week, you had the privilege of sacrificing all your personal time. Carrying a laptop, having constant phone-signal, not drinking, and being completely available within 15-30 minutes of the first ping was mandatory; otherwise, you could be facing disciplinary action.

Effectively it's a huge pay cut at less than minimum wage. For the loss of personal hours, you'd get significantly more money taking any minimum wage job. I don't go to work for free, I go to pay the bills.

Then the management blackmail starts, you get free food...a deli counter and fridge of soft drinks which I never used anyway. Then you get the be a team player, take it for the team emotional blackmail.

I'd happily do on-call on a best attempt if I'm available I'll answer the call for free. Restrict my personal time/activities outside work, I want paying at least minimum wage per hour after your company just IPO'd and worth several billion.
That sounds great, is there a numerical metric for this that can be compared to other countries and tracked over time?

I wonder how this could be tracked - it's not quite like the cost of a "bundle of goods" because some parts of that bundle might be automatically supplied by the government.
1) You can 100% meet your basic needs(in the !Kung sense) working 15-20 hrs/week.

I imagine most Kung live with their family, don't have healthcare, no climate control, walk everywhere. Clothing, food and a place to live is not that expensive. A part time service job would give you about ~$700/month, which is more than enough to meet these basic needs. You could rent a room for as little as $200, live on $35/week on food, and easily be clothed $20/month.

2) We benefit by having more stuff, not working less.

3) It is definitely more efficient. You couldn't support anywhere near the world's population based on !Kung style hunting/gathering.
Correct, indeed the local distribution grid is owned and operated by private companies but these are separate from the energy operators.
It's a management problem. We have that "problem" where I work - the sprints and tickets are set up such that I can afford to work ~2-3 hours a day. I spend the rest learning new tech for my next job.

I'm not even a hard worker but having so little to do gets old and boring quickly.
One example is housing rent. A lot of landowners through regulatory capture or just obstruction make it too expensive to build houses, making it harder for poor people to afford to buy, hence being forced to rent.

ifconfig is a part of net-tools package, last release of which was in 2001 hence it's deprecated in any major distro since 2013. Unless you're running RHEL6 or something that old, you shouldn't use it.
That study doesn't purport to be an objective measurement of absolute reaction time. It's comparing relative driver behavior between a driving simulator and a test track, and it doesn't seem to have controlled how immediately drivers needed to respond to avoid a collision. It does, however, include one objective measurement of human reaction time, albeit not as a primary result of the study:

> the time from incursion start to throttle release included the reaction time of the tow vehicle driver pulling the foam car (which was consistently less than 200 milliseconds)
Awesome, so does that change the permanent mac address that comes with the laptop, and it is forever gone? Or does it somehow "reset" when you restart, and you rerun this command multiple times
As a data science python dev I'm learning Clojure right now (at home for fun) to build a personal website. I'm actually completely new to web-dev. I suspect if I chose JS I'd be done by now, despite not knowing JS. It's all just sort of the 'same' in a sense. Whereas even loops in clojure really force you to understand what the hell you're doing. It's fun in a challenging way.

My position: in cities, cars and pedestrian are sharing the environment that is predominantly hostile towards pedestrian (lack sidewalks and crossings), but are well-designed for cars. In exchange for getting the car-friendly infrastructure (instead of having speed bumps and 15mph speed limits), the drivers are asked to drive cautiously and attentively, and be mindful of pedestrians, who might not always cross the street in places that are convenient for drivers (because the infrastructure is so broken that they are forced to do this merely to get to places).

When an accident happens, it is the pedestrian who will die. Driving is a privilege that comes with the responsibility to avoid this.

Your position: nah.

----------------

Asking to go slow and pay attention to the road where pedestrians can be is not "entitlement", it's the law, it's the traffic rules, and it's your responsibility as a driver that you volunteer for in exchange for getting the privilege of driving.

Anyway, "just go slow" is not comparable to "just stop being poor / unable to drive". I hope you can see the difference.
No, I'd be right and if you're going to dismiss me, you should at least prove you're actually educated in the topic.

Chase has had to settle class action lawsuits due to the predatory way they handled overdraft fees [1] so don't feed me that bullshit. It was something I personally experienced and saw my parents struggle through due to the way they were paid and Chases scummy behavior.

As for pre-existing conditions that is literally how they worked before and is something that insurance companies constant lobby to go back to. Because when my mother had her stroke her insurance denied her immediately because they determined the stroke was somehow a pre-existing condition.

And ultimately your logic is incredibly flawed because profits and productivity has gone up while pay for the workers has not kept up. This isn't wealth transfer, this is the rich deciding to underpay their workers to the point that they can't survive working for them, which then gets billed to the government. Your logic also offers zero explanation why wealth is concentrating towards the wealthy because wealth transfer would imply that, you know, it's actually going to the poor people.

There are two broad types of meditation: concentration, and reflection. I can see how e.g. video games could be a kind of concentration practice. The benefit of deliberate meditation concentration practice is that you learn to apply concentration in non-stimulating circumstances (or rather, you learn that you don't need graphics, meaningful choices, tight timing, or points to stimulate your alertness). Most beginner meditation falls under concentration (brain-settling) practices.

Then there is the reflection/insight practice, in which your mind pays deliberate attention to its own internal machinations. With the right touch--neither too tight, nor too loose--you can maintain an appropriate distance so that you can see what's going on, but not get pulled under. I find it difficult to believe that any activity other than mental reflection, no matter how focused, would be an effective substitute.
Sam Harris's most recent podcast (with Richard Dawkins) had the opposite take. He basically said it was psychedelics that let him experience this alternate state of mind and that eventually led him to pursue meditation. Meditation gets him to the same (or similar) place now but if he hadn't used the psychedelics to get that first experience he feels there's a strong chance he'd never have gotten there in the first place.
The only issue I have with this is that you can't really buy used EVs yet. I'm interested in buying an EV but it's like smartphones in 2008 - the rate of improvement is high so it makes sense to buy new.

> IMO it's incoherent to say that a locally extreme and accelerating quality of society is a consequence of broad and fundamental forces that have been in place for millenia.

Um, why would it be incoherent? By all observations of perfectly coherent physics, the universe itself is currently the largest it has ever been and is growing at an ever faster pace. While perhaps your opinion is that such things should not be possible, it is clearly non-sensical to say that such a thing is incoherent when it actually seems to be the basis of the entire universe.
Nice article. One point:

> Disney will have to lose money it could otherwise make in order to differentiate its streaming service.

> Such a move cuts against much industrial organizational economic theory. Theorists posit that corporations like Disney tend not to intentionally lose money just to acquire market power, because foregoing revenue is not, apparently, rational. This theory is nonsense. After all, if Disney is willing to tolerate losses just to drive competitors out of business, then vertical foreclosure is deeply problematic, and perhaps illegal.

The reason it's not typically rational is that you have no guarantee of being able to maintain your monopoly once you've cornered the market. As soon as you raise prices to recoup your losses, competitors will come out of the woodwork. This is not the case with media companies though, because they have a government enforced 95 year monopoly on their content.

If Disney were to put Netflix out of business, buy Netflix's content, and then raise their Disney+ service price, I cannot legally setup a competing service to stream Netflix's old content.

TL;DR: The economic theory that says predatory pricing is usually irrational assumes fungible goods, but media is not fungible.

I completely agree and there are definitely variations based on the mineral content of the source. For me, I can't stand arrowhead water because it tastes salty to me. I think a lot of it has to do with how local water supplies shape our concept of the taste of water.
That's silly, I've worked in a closed source community with cross company stakeholders and we had no trouble understanding we weren't open source Scotsmen. Sentry seems to know this too, and this unnotable change is strangely notable here.

GPL exists partly to prevent this kind of conversion once the community is diverse and non-profit project hosting is a good place to look for a community. It would be nice if everyone knew that and kept it in mind, but clearly they do not.

What if you take out "makes a thousand accounts" and substitute "spreads hate speech" or "calls people racial slurs"? In that case there's no abuse of the system; only the speech itself is problematic. Would censorship-free platforms have a way to suppress that speech? Should such speech be suppressed?

In my opinion, yes, but I'd like to know what you think.

Less energy intensive, perhaps. But not less electricity intensive. As cars and trains go electric, electricity demand will increase. If we're going to make planes and ships hydrogen powered, that's going to be another big electricity demand.

Not disagreeing, adding another angle: while the map is not the territory, tools and concepts are useful (to get a point across, to contextualize, to make decisions, …)

JTBD imho is one of the simple yet not easy (to do) concepts that is very useful, especially in the context of over-reliance on persona and correlation (“data”-) driven decision-making.

JTBD might be overhyped in some circles but where it is not overhyped it might just be exactly the concept needed to get out of a local optimum.

Not all use of code is just running it as is. Sometimes you want to take a pice of it and use just that in your system.
Maybe you want to fork it and do your own thing with it. You can do that and all the other things you can think of with open source, not with BSL (or you would need army of lawyers).

BSL is just better proprietary licence. It definitively isn't open source. I think of it as better way to do shareware.
But there is big difference between shareware and open source and we don't want to muddy it.

> How do you propose stopping AWS taking the code wholesale and selling with an upcharge?

Does it matter if they do that or do their own thing with an interoperable API (possibly starting with a code base forked from the last open source release)? Do you think that AWS can't afford the engineering to do the second if there is a business opportunity and the first is foreclosed by licensing terms?

Aside from all the other arguments, I don't think this licensing gambit has a chance of actually protecting substantially against the problem that supposedly motivates it, except by reducing the profile of the product to a level where AWS has no reason to care about releasing a compatible service.
The cell data is always stored as plain text, on the client side simply with an attribute. And you can only ever edit cells as text, so those issues never come up. I could see how the checkbox would be tough though because you'd have to decide which line they clicked on in the text representation.

I've thought about porting to Jupyter too, but the plugin system on JupyterLab is pretty involved, and you lose plain text storage on the server side.
