>> Disney has always been about technology.

Um.. have you ever worked at Disney? It's a great company but having worked there I wouldn't describe it that way.

>> From .. the engineers at Pixar and LucasFilms.

Two visionary companies, staffed by many ex-Disney employees and bought by after their technical innovations were completely mature.

Disney is an amazing company that I respect but having worked there I would say that modern Disney is about brands and family entertainment and they figure out technology when they have to.

If the patent ever ends up in court, they will regret listing non-inventors. Listing non-inventors or failing to list all inventors are both grounds for invalidating the patent.

The lawyers for the other side will pursue this.

You should pirate content that you want to consume without supporting the creators.

If Disney only made derivative movies and didn't lobby to to make IP laws more strict and punitive, I would not think it was immoral to give them your money.

Consumers should consider paying for IP an investment in the creator's future work. If a creator made something you enjoy, fill their pockets so they can make another great thing. If the creator is known to damage society with their profits, giving them money should be avoided.

Does paying for (before viewing) vs pirating a Disney film have any meaningful effect on the quality of future films?

The current system optimizes for movies that look good in a 30-second trailer, because you can't get your money back if the movie is bad. If you really like a movie you pirated, you should buy it to send the signal. I'd argue paying for any movie before you see it contributes to the decline of film as art we've seen in the past ~3 decades.
.NET core is open source and has worked on windows, mac os, and linux for a while now. I started working on a front end for a C# .net core project recently which is being developed at a primarily Windows shop and I got it running on Ubuntu in 15 minutes. I would have died before picking a Microsoft stack for a project 5 years ago, but the back end for my next project will be .net core. The developer experience and tooling are second to none these days. You really should give it another look.

Thanks tucaz, it'a great to hear how other cofounders deal with disputes. I'm trying to figure out the most effective methods great cofounders use to resolve their disputes/disagreements when making critical decisions about the company/product.

This!!

I used to work at a prominent venture capital firm where I started an initiative that required everyone on the investing team to respond to all inbound emails from founders, even if the reply was "Sorry, this isn't a fit for us." We tried for several months to respond with atleast 2-3 sentences about why we passed on companies if a founder ever asked. About 10% of founders said 'Thank you, that's useful' and moved on, another 10-15% straight up said "You're assholes" but moved on. The remaining majority were just incapable of understanding what we were trying to say since they were so sheerly blinded by their self-belief. Example, I remember emailing one founder of a poker game app back to say we didn't invest in gaming, only to receive an angry email saying poker isn't a game, it was a social activity. Thinking it would help, I replied saying 'Hey, thanks for the note. Really, our issue is that gaming apps and apps where the primary social activity is gaming, are very hits driven and we don't think we have the necessary experience ore desire to predict hits in this space.' He then proceeded to tell me why I did in fact have the skills required, even though literally no one on our team had consumer or gaming experience, and that I in fact also did have the desire to predict hits in this space - how could I not?_____"I was a VC after all"_____(direct quote)

A few months later, cold inbound emails that were passes went straight to archive...
Somewhat tangentially related, a Sass I worked at, most devs preferred MacBooks for their dev boxes (ruby on rails + Java). At the time, Windows 8.1 was out. Our target runtime env was Ubuntu. I preferred to do all my development in a linux VM. I was constantly finding bugs that were checked in because they assumed the other devs assumed that their Macs mirrors the deployment environment. Except, it didn't

Most common culprit was case sensitivity issues. APFS, by default, like NTFS, is case insensitive, unlike most common Linux filesystems. APFS can be made to be case sensitive, but it turns out, breaks a non insignificant number of Mac targetted apps.

Of course, this breaks when you have a case difference when deploying to Linux. E.g. cannot import a ruby module because of a case difference in a filename. In my experience, the belief they were running on a *nix meant my fellow devs thought they were immune to fuckups they associated with Windows, but they were wrong and abstinent/arrogant about issues when confronted about it, by me, because I was running Windows (although running our code in a linux VM). I hope thats not everyones experience, but that was my one experience with Mac users targeting Linux for deployment. Seriously had a hard time convincing them there were problems because "it works on my machine," to which of course I responded "deploy it and run the tests again."

To;Dr; MacBook != Linix laptop. Gets you maybe 95% of the way there. Still better off using a linux VM than relying upon same behavior between OS X and Linux. Besides, OS X is not even linux based. It's originally based on Net BSD (I have no idea how far the kernel, etc have deviated since).

Legacy is unfair but the removal would lead to a tremendous outcry.
My favorite story of the legacy system being broken is at Stanford, where one girl's parents are Stanford grads, along with some of her grandparents. This means that she has a free pass as long as her academics aren't bad.
Legacy shouldn't span generations.

Here's a thought I had while reading your comment...

what about a hybrid of HN/lobste.rs/reddit and old-school hierarchical lists. Basically, a place where people can upload websites and such that are relevant to a search term.

Say you wanted to know about "how to make bread". You would first check if this query is already defined, creating it if not. Then, you could comment/post links on the topic, and see other's links sorted by some hybrid of upvotes/downvotes and human moderation/curation. The point would less be about having a discussion, but more crowd-sourcing "what pages are most relevant to this query".

From the perspective of a user who doesn't participate, this looks like a hierarchically sorted collection of queries/topics and links relevant thereto, sorted by relevance.
Facebook is not entitled to the benefit of any doubts.
Nah. The magic is not the company. It's the people in it.

When Nokia's retail division went up it a ball of flames, the engineers didn't just disappear and become janitors or something. They formed HMD, who is the one of the very few mobile phone makers seeing ear on year growth in shipments.

Raw human talent is the major driver of innovation. Companies are just one way they organise themselves. Open source is another. Different organisations suit different circumstances, but you always need the raw human talent.

Anecdote: I used to be a big Windows user, but after my partition table was destroyed and I had to start again, I decided to try out Linux - and never looked back. A few days ago I tried to help a friend get a program working on his Windows machine and it felt so locked down and limited. The process was something like:

1. Need to use Git to grab the program. No Git installed. Can't run `apt-get install git`, instead have to download a git bash and run some partial Linux environment.

2. `git clone` the program. Now discover I need to run some "anaconda" software to download a program to install a library that python needs to use.

3. Now I can run the software (not within the Anaconda prompt) and I need some additional file. The path name for the user has spaces in, so I think "I'll just create the file a the root C:\ to get this working". Nope, no administrator access (on their own machine!).

It sounds simple enough, but this is all literally a one liner in something like Debian: `apt-get install X; make; python X`. And every single Windows experience (for me) is like this. Couple that with the fact that most commands I need are now embedded in my brain, using Linux is a piece of cake, even for problems I've not come across before.
Interesting the arms race in the incognito browser wars. One day I can read Bloomberg for free incognito, the next day they detect it. Then a Chrome update and the cycle repeats. Firefox seems to be a little behind in the fight.

I do pay for sites I read on a regular basis. Can't justify a subscription for a once a month read, however. Maybe we need 99 cents per article model, kind of like buying songs on the old iTunes.
More important than popularity measure itself is WHERE the languages are popular. Python is popular in startup ecosystems and professional developers whereas Java only in academic circles and some android developers (who are also gradually switching to Kotlin). So, in terms of "popularity where it matters", Python is in much better position than Java.
This is astounding. It seems that there is actually an incentive to keep a person claiming to be a citizen imprisoned, since if they keep them imprisoned long enough, then any financial debt owed for the injustice will magically disappear thanks to statute of limitation.

"Flessner, Watson's lawyer, says the ruling "turns false imprisonment statute of limitation claims kind of on their head."

It means a person in custody for an extended period of time would have to file a false-imprisonment claim while detained, "before it's been determined that they've been falsely imprisoned," he said. "I mean, this is not only applicable to immigration cases ... there's lots of citizens that are falsely or wrongly imprisoned."

I don't totally understand what they mean, the press-release-style article isn't very specific. But:

> Customers will now be able to use Dell’s hardware based on their consumption, as a service… For the consumption programs, customers pay for the amount of storage or computing power they use.

That part sounds different than an ordinary lease, yes? I'm not totally sure I understand what it is though... the hardware on-premise at the customer for their exclusive use? But somehow it's usage is metered?

Long time draw.io user here. A couple of weeks back [brainio](https://brainio.com/#/) was posted on HN. Though it's still in beta, it works really well and I like the concept of going from Markdown to Mindmap and vice-versa.

Drawio is also trying to implement this through PlantUML but it's not fully functional yet with only some constrained types on PlantUML support.
Lets just review. You continue to ignore that there is no single weather system US continent wide, demanding an ability to simultaneously manage electricity supply from storage in one instance.

You insist I "do the math" but your premises has twice to your own admission had fundamental flaws in the source data and in the maths.

You really want me to "put up my numbers" ? I think you're trolling.

There is no compelling "all US from storage" problem. There is no "week long no-wind no-solar" problem. There is no immediate current TWh supply from renewables.

There are undoubtedly problems: They're just not the phantoms you are floating.

Go away please.
All and all seems like a pretty successful launch. Massive scale and issues seemed to be resolved pretty quickly, props to the team !

The only well studied and clinically developed diet for people with serious irritable bowel diseases, known as FODMAP[1] focuses exclusively on minimizing specific types of sugar and carbohydrates. For a severely compromised digestive system, table sugar is likely recommended over dates as a sweetener because they are likely to contain 'free fructose' which may be fine or even better for normal digestive systems since it has lower glycemic index than glucose, but it is found to be complicating for people with serious digestion problems. This goes to show dietary sugar is not metabolically simple or equivalent as commonly thought.

The choice of what 12:00 signifies has no bearing on where wake/sleep is anchored. If California decided to switch to Eastern time, people would just end up setting the average work day in the state from 11:00 - 19:00 (Eastern time), and people would wake up at 10:00 (Eastern time).
Broad device support is also a large factor that favors Netflix. We have children who range from 3-14 and Disney has something for all of them - except support for the devices we have. Our TV is an older (NetCast) LG, we “only” have a Wii-U, and we don’t have old computer hardware just laying around. Netflix, Prime, Hulu, Google Play, YouTube support our TV. Not Disney+. Looks like we’re gonna do our one week and then wait for a while.
As https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_effect points out:

> The term "greenhouse effect" continues to see use in scientific circles and the media despite being a slight misnomer, as an atmosphere reduces radiative heat loss[8] while a greenhouse blocks convective heat loss.

A simplified model is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idealized_greenhouse_model . A quick look suggests ε - the emissivity of the atmosphere - is the key parameter answering your question. The Δε must be high enough to affect the calculation. Simply filling a greenhouse with CO2 isn't enough to get there. (Plus, greenhouses aren't primarily cooled by radiative heat loss.)

FWIW, CO2 was used in double paned windows, going back to at least the 1930s. https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/1f/67/5c/7a7917d... says:

> Carbon dioxide is found to give good results and, as compared with air, materially increases the effectiveness of the article as a heat insulator.

However, as https://www.rbaofqc.com/windows/argon-as-gas-fill-for-double... points out, under "Early Gas Fills":

> Air as a fill wasn't effective in providing insulation, so some manufacturers started looking for alternatives. The 1970s saw the use of carbon dioxide and Freon. Although they helped increase the insulation value of windows, they were proven to be sensitive to seal failure and cause discoloration.

Argon and krypton are more effective than CO2, but they are not greenhouse gasses because convective heat loss is different from radiative heat loss.
It doesn't sound to me like this is a problem? Someone had a poor experience with a landlord, and posted about it on Yelp.

Perhaps this was all the tenant being unreasonable, but that's not the sort of thing Yelp is going to be able to judge. This is how reviews work: over time you build up a picture out of a lot of unreliable data points.
There is in fact just such an identifier, it's called IDFV. ID For Vendor. It's shared between all apps from the same vendor, so your Facebook and Instagram apps know they're on the same device.

Apple used to be quite strict that you had to actually have advertising in the app to ask for the IDFA permission. That seems to have disappeared.
I recall that in my home state, the school system there reported that of the myriad of special concessions requests made and given for testing in the final year of school, the majority (I believe over 60%?) came from Private Schools and to the wealthiest areas. (Despite being the minority of schools).

The reason likely being twofold - Access/Knowledge of the system, as well as a pressure to improve their marks.

I.e. These private schools make their name and are in many ways partially paid for by parents because it promises better marks than sending them to public schools.

So they use every trick they have to get special dispensations and raise student's marks, leading to the bulk of these extra marks and time going to the wealthier, privileged areas.

As well as that, note that I'm not saying that all of these students are necessarily cheating by doing this, many of these students have their own problems (though many didn't too!) but the access and knowledge of how to use the system is also a part of being privileged.

> part of the trade arguments between the US and Canada.

As noted in this article https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/new-nafta-slap-in-the-face-to-ca... Canada has always had a tightly controlled system that protects farmers by not allowing over production.

Where it's not uncommon to see milk as a loss-leader in big US markets (i.e. $0.99/gallon) the price in Canada is much higher and stable. I suspect our farmers are going to be hurt by the new NAFTA deal (when/if Congress ratifies it) in the long term.

Health insurance companies in the US absolutely ARE socially worthless. They’re the singular reason we have this crazy price inflation. Doctors raise prices as a direct way to impact what they actually get paid from insurers. Insurers have “market power” (read that as-unilateral power to tell their customers and providers which way they can shove it) over providers incomes. In order to get price X from insurance providers charge X+e where e is an inflation factor to noisily correct for the kick in the pants from the insurance company. But by law providers then have to charge that price from everybody. This is a failed market.
