Mostly sounds true, but one thing Netflix offered that none of the per-studio streaming services can: it was one subscription with everything.

All the others will have their own catalog, but they won't have each others'. Is everything you want to watch coming from the same place? Which one will you pick, or do you want to manage five accounts each with their own bill?

(admittedly, if you only watch movies and not much TV, the answer might be "yes, Disney")

My personal solution to this is to subscribe ad-hoc, without renewal, only when I want to watch something; basically I'm treat it as the individual-rental model with a discount if I happen to want to see two things from the same service in quick succession (hasn't happened yet). If you watch more than me that might not be practical; I usually watch less than five shows or movies in a year, and half of that is when family members want to show me so it's on their accounts.
Some people have done economic history.
I'm thinking the same, this willbe used somehow to push more users into Google's walled garden.

Amp is like ten times as slow for me.. Firefox on android, a bug in amp makes the pages not scrollable. Have to press the tiny little icon in the top right, then again press the url, and then wait for the page to load an additional time.
The instant cash price is going to be less than list it wait for months price, by approximately the cost of having the house sit empty for months (including the interest on the money tied up in the empty house).

If the instant cash price was less than that, savvy people looking for bargains would bid it up to that.
It's difficult but I'd avoid places like that. If your team won't allow you to close slack for an hour you have serious communication and planning problems. Anywhere I've worked what I do is message anyone who might need vital information from me then just close slack for an hour, do my work and check back in. When I get pulled up on it I give my explanation about focus, communication etc. If they don't like it then I leave. I'm glad it's a seller's market.
>Theres no rhyme or reason to it at the API level. You have to look under the hood...

Every abstraction is leaky. I have found that the best engineers are those who understand how things work under the hood. They can solve hard problems when they come up. People who rely upon a mountain of libraries are stumped and begin trying random things until something works.

Honestly, what is the problem with understanding how your tools work? I don't know of any other engineering profession that thinks this way.
Conceivably, the vaporized material could shield the projectile.
I dunno, there is far less information than before.
That's a bit different that the consent referred to above - this is the hospital covering themselves.

If you are consenting data for a trial or otherwise sharing with a company for development, someone (often paid for separately) will typically come and walk you through the consent form.
The log10 method is incorrect: math.log10(999999999999999)==15.0. (That's 15 nines.)

Good job teaching unreliable algorithms.
You can spin up a standalone Spark cluster in about an hour and it's pretty easy.

And yes you will need to rewrite a small amount of your code but you're doing so here as well.

At least you will be able to scale out to much larger volumes in a consistent way.
> It's odd when neither the doctor, nor the patient knows.

This is unusual.
If the progress bar is green and a site is loading slowly, you're having an anomalous experience, be patient? If blue, expected, maybe give up and don't visit again? That's my impression.
Flying at higher altitudes reduces drag and increases efficiency due to the thinner air. Ideally, we'd be flying planes a lot higher than we do today. The problem is combustion engines need oxygen and the higher you go, the less oxygen you have available. Electric planes don't have that problem which could be the secret to faster global travel.
> It is mind-boggling how you can market a product and sell it to a patient population knowing absolutely nothing about how it will affect them

Seems the problem is that the product got classified essentially as “just a new baker baking bread”. And in that case you wouldn’t do clinical trials to see how people react to eating your exact loves of bread.

Then people realized that his exact brand of bread could be given to infants, and still you wouldn’t do a clinical trial because it’s just bread.

Then it seems that the production process might have been flawed in a way that doesn’t quite harm adults, but is dangerous to infants and here we are.

So what really was the major flaw? Should we start doing clinical trials on all foodstuff given to infants? It likely wouldn’t have shown anything if the root cause is manufacturing process problems, because those problems would not have been present in the batches used for the clinical trial anyway. But we would end up having to test every single brand and procedure of mashed carrots to see if it caused problems in infants.

That seems to be the pitch because it fits the trope of “big bad company never thought of the potential consequences of their money making scheme!”

But really this might just be a straight forward case of manufacturing practices not being held to the needed standards, because a plant got thrown around between a couple of companies and the people on the ground didn’t know any better.

Also, you have to now wonder if Heinz ketchup produced with the same process given to infants might cause NEC. I’m sure that even if there where such cases no-one would have been able to connect the dots.

> Why is that [not already the case]?

Because the internet/web was created by technical and mathematical oriented people - programmers, electrical engineers, researchers - who are typically much less committed to systemic deceit than marketers and propagandists. Consequently, much of the initial content was posted out of a genuine desire to inform rather than deceive people.
It specifically says that "Software distribution outside the Mac App Store" requires "Apple Developer Program" which costs 99 USD here: https://developer.apple.com/support/compare-memberships/
I fail to see the (new) change.

Gatekeeper was added in 2012, and required the user to either take steps (right click open, or disable gatekeeper via the Gui or command-line) to run apps not signed by a developer ID, which costs $99/yr.

Eventually Apple removed the option to disable Gatekeeper via the GUI due to developer abuse (e.g. games, including Minecraft, walking children through globally disabling security settings rather than signing their apps).

Notarization doesn't add the requirement of signing, nor does it change that you need a developer ID for $99/yr
> Instead, I imagine that supplies will be brought to the front lines via self-driving vehicles watched over by armed drones that are programmed to destroy anything that tries to interfere with the supply convoy.

You only need to wreck the lead vehicle in a convoy to stop those behind making any progress. A high-tech adversary could do this by a deep precision strike, and a low-tech enemy could simply emplace some mines or IEDs (remotely triggered).
A quick google image search results in people in the cafe.
yesh I knew a developer like this, except that he was from what I could see a capable 1X developer just with a screwy schedule (although maybe he was doing another project on the side - that was his excuse at any rate) but really my theory, based on his habit of disappearing into the bathroom for extended periods of time and my familiarity with junkies, was that he was a textbook high-functioning one.
OS is easier than network because less coordination is needed. Stay tuned, Unix will be replaced.
This page doesn't contain any body text unless I run their Javascript. Is that supposed to be faster?
If you don't mind me asking, What time of night was that image taken? That looks like sunlight reflected off the satellites, so it must have been just after sunset or just prior to dawn (where the satellites are illuminated but it is dark on the ground) -- or am I mistaken? And is that still an issue after the satellites were raised to their target orbit?

Also, this being a composite image, I'm assuming it is from multiple exposures. Can the software that merges the images together also filter out the satellites? And how is it that just 60 satellites do this, but the 2000 or so currently in orbit don't exhibit this behavior?
I agree that those methodologies have permeated the automotive industry. But does that mean that all automakers are utilizing them to the same degree of effectiveness? Anyone who's worked in a dysfunctional "agile" environment has experienced the danger of cargo-culting in methodologies that have proven effective elsewhere.
Absent notes to the contrary, I'm going to assume that's just the raw energy density. However, by my understanding the typical gasoline engine in a passenger car has an efficiency of something in the low-to-mid-30s percent. So, assuming 33%, that's 4026 Wh/kg of actually-useful energy density, the rest of the energy wasted as exhaust heat.

Looking things up, I see different numbers for electric motor efficiency, ranging from the low 70s to the low 90s percent. As an overly simplified example, let's assume an electric motor in a car has an efficiency of 80% (in reality, they may be better). At that efficiency, a battery pack only has to get to 5032.5 Wh/kg to achieve the same practical energy density as gasoline, less than half the actual raw energy density. That is probably an easier number to reach than trying to achieve the same raw energy density of gasoline.

Nobody has made this argument in this thread (yet, as I type this), but I've seen it made before and made it myself. Yes, at those energy densities, batteries are highly dangerous if something goes wrong (like a crash) and they release all their energy at once, but so is gasoline. At practical ranges, you're potentially sitting on a pile of high-explosives either way. But, I'd hope a 5032.5 Wh/kg battery is easier to make safer in a crash than 12,200 Wh/kg gasoline is.
Erm. How do you tell that before you click?
What do you mean by thought in more dimensions? Like abstract creative / divergent thinking that defies a canonical answer? Or being constantly distracted by meta problems?
While I appreciate fast loading sites as much as anyone, there's something I appreciate even more: getting to the content as fast as possible.

It's becoming increasingly common to have all sorts of pop-ups blocking a big part of the screen at best or adding an overlay across the entire body.

If only I knew that my click would result in that kind of monstrosity I wouldn't have clicked in the first place. So maybe it would be more useful to show an of how many things we need to close before we get to the content. I think that something like this would also help get us to "a faster web".
I certainly see where you are coming from, bit I feel a lot of it depends on your domain. Many of the tools are not meant for common development-centric use cases. If platform is your focus it's a very exciting time! If a project is ignored then that reflects the results of adoption and community involvement.

The JS ecosystem moves just as fast, if not faster. I wouldn't expect a platform engineer or team to fret about keeping up with every new project in that space.

On the other hand if you are handling all aspects of the SDLC, that would seem exhausting. It's the side effect of a vibrant open source community!
The SR-71 and U-2 flew plenty high and had enough oxygen. When you’re high enough that there’s no oxygen, you have no atmosphere, and then your wings and turbines don’t do anything useful. That means it’s rocket time.

Also, depressurization happens, and the risks and complexity of workarounds increase with altitude.
You don't need to pay to run your own code or distribute un-notorized code.
It all depends on what you are optimizing for.

You can do a lot of work in parallel if you have the correct coroutine architecture. That involves encapsulating information in a way that you can put it down and pick it back up efficiently.

An upside of developing this skill is that if you become adept at storing the relevant information, you will be better at handing that information off to another person.

Further, absolute productivity at a single task is rarely the most important thing. If it is, then you've reduced yourself to a cog or a worker bee.

Taking responsibility for the direction of your work means accepting that you need to be part of the decision-making process, which will lower your absolute productivity, but (done well) will increase your overall effectiveness.
> That’s a pretty good question actually, and difficult to address. I try and push new concepts/tech as a way of education on what’s coming.

Thanks =) ... I'm always disparaged with HN when you say something that can be viewed as not supportive. (even -1 votes feels like "oh come on guys!")

I think the thing that scared me the most out of that video was using things that are approx. 90% globally supported for layout.

Totally agree with "know your audience". Specifically, I teach the habit of look it up on MDN, then caniuse, then have VMs/devices ready-to-go and test it even further.

Simple rendering/functionality issues have turned into legal action against my past employers. Ex: if you cause even a 5-10% drop in ecommerce conversions due to what shoulda been a simple CSS fix, and that goes unnoticed for a month, that's a potential lawsuit/termination with very "black and white provable damages". Unfortunately, I've lived this =(

It's worth noting that I work on conversion-based web solutions that are "mom and pops" small, all the way up to "if it's down for 1 minute we just lost thousands of dollars"... but really I've learned to be incredibly careful with both. Every solution I build online at some point means $ even if it's non-direct conversions (ie: purely informational, no sales online sales funnel, etc).
Absolutely. It's pretty much the only way to work 48hrs straight.
I hope you like the paramedics kicking in the door because your vitals looked weird while you were masturbating.
And not just on super fancy computers, 128GB of RAM is like $500 and is supported by many low-to-mid-range desktop systems.

I suspect many malls are pumping potpourri scent into the HVAC system. It pervades the malls.
For general aviation (small prop planes), it's because so much of the cost of running one comes from the engine. The most common piston engines are supposed to make it 1500-2000 hours between overhauls, and an overhaul runs around $16K, so you have to save $10-15 per flight hour in engine reserve to pay for the overhaul when it comes due and to cover any unexpected maintenance between overhauls. Plus, there are consumables that aren't cheap -- oil changes, spark plugs, and so forth. A brushless electric motor has a lot fewer moving parts, and a lot less vibration, so overhauls could be cheaper and with a larger interval between them, and regular maintenance would be cheaper as well. Plus, no leaded avgas to mess with, no worries about reduced power at higher altitudes where the air is thinner, no worries about carburetor icing or adjusting the air/fuel mixture. Sounds like a win to me.
How do you demand for smaller sites? To whom do you plead? Why will they listen to you?
How much does a business website cost?
The Porsche Boxter is finished to a high standard too.
Yeah, this is a general problem with these threads here. If there are 5% brilliant engineers, the other 95% will answer here how horrible the 5% really are.

Never mind that the 5% do most of the work and the other 95% attach themselves to a project, criticize and obstruct the 5% and take the credit for the project.
I believe that US military personnel are not empowered to apprehend any one in their current capacity. They are providing technical and logistical support to DHS personnel who are actually apprehending and enforcing the law.

I feel like it's a little of a non-sequiter to try to compare the distribution of work amongst two militarized wings of a government in two different systems across decades. If we're going for spirit of US Constitution, we're already pretty far away - maintaining the world's strongest standing military is hardly in the spirit of the Constitution. I think there are parts of the constituion where it's still valid to seek the spirit of as a form of guidance, but it's been decades and decades since America the nation has shed that part of the constitutional spirit.
Do you really need your browser to tell you a site is loading slowly? You're staring at the screen; don't you know if it's slow just by existing and moving forward through time?

I don't watch any channels on YT, honestly. I see clips when people link them to me or I search for some specific thing.

I agree that not every good act or charity can be profitable.

I guess my take on it is that _if_, all else being equal, we can make charitable acts profitable, we should do that, because that's a more reliable incentive than relying on people to do the good and right thing, unfortunately.

In practice, "all else being equal" is often a very strong constraint!
The whole point of a hybrid is to run the ICE only in its most efficient region. At low loads the electric battery drives the car. If the battery gets too low, then the ICE runs, but rather than running at a low (and inefficient) load, it runs at its sweet spot and the excess power it generates charges the battery. When the demand is high, rather than running the ICE hard, it is kept at its sweet spot and the electric motor boosts power instead.

So yes, the ICE part is more efficient in a hybrid, though it isn't magic.
I can't connect to this page, as Firefox is automatically redirecting me to the HTTPS version of the page even though it's not supported. I guess I don't run into this that often given how common HTTPS is, but maybe someone else has this problem with this site? If you are, have you fixed it before? I've tried all of the methods mentioned on this[0] page, and I'm on Firefox 70 on Linux Mint.

Except where you can't. Lots places have no coverage.
You are not alone :-) Many meditators experience this.

This is true for any meditation with or without mantra. Mantra meditation with audible chanting creates enough vibrations to heat up body cells. Meditation also raises the internal energy and hence many experience the heating effect.
This is beyond trippy.
Tesla can’t be that innovative: they still don’t support CarPlay.

This is a bit funny to say, since I've only seen both this and the Show HN app in the last 5 minutes, but something I immediately wished for was this blurred mode + the hide everything except the current line from the OP. In other words, blur everything except the current line.

Blurring everything makes it impossible to fix (or see) typos which is annoying, knowing that the output of the thing is going to be full of typos. Hiding texts has another issue (even if not hiding the current line), that is you don't even have a rough idea of how much you've written and what the paragraph lengths look like so far.

If we do blur, but don't blur the current line, it solves both problems for me.
The core of this idea is good; The tricky part about it is both technical and legal impediments to abuse. Specifically as an individual I should be able to share medical history with you (individual/corporation/government/whatever) in a way that is completely granular (I decide what you see and don't), revocable, and non-transferable.
It's hard to say whether one would generally be a bigger gain than another without experimenting. We chose to focus on just execution because it was a relatively smaller project (with less side-effects) that still promised a large performance improvement. In the future, we might consider keeping data in columnar format on learner replicas to offer even better performance for users that would like to run OLAP-style queries on slightly stale data, but this would be a larger project.
However, if you look at the trademarks themselves, they have very limited scope and also require specific visual differentiators. The word "Adobe" isn't trademarked, but so that I don't buy the wrong Adobe which is actually malware, it is illegal to advertise or commercially distribute creative digital software bearing the name Adobe and copying its visual likeness. But I could start my own Spanish-themed footwear company called Adobe Footwear. Adobe itself is not trademarked.
I'm continuously impressed that new database technologies come forth, pushing productivity forward and pushing the bounds of what databases should be doing.

I like to think a lot about Kdb, partly because I've used it extensively. Kdb, aside from it's database core functionality, can also be an app server. There's a natural concept of being able to open a listen socket or connect to other listenrs. Very quickly you can build distributed database systems with just a few lines of code. It's very powerful... I think the "way of thinking" in Kdb has yet to permeate into other database technologies.
okay, but you're opening the door to youtube being the arbiters of truth; once it starts going down that road, political agents take a keen interest in controlling it. it's a question of values.
It's likely that your opponent is fielding only a limited number of laser projectile countermeasure systems, and also likely that they are related and only using a limited number of wavelengths.

But yeah, just throw a bunch of things and swamp their targeting systems.
Pages are made of 30 sites, more. This is what makes the experience shit, and Google are bang up responsible. The architecture of the web did not, and does not, include this - the business model that is sustained by it exploits the web, it does not support it.
Yeah log(n) would be the space to hold the digits of the counter. Presumably (unless things got super-silly), this would be dominated by the buffer size for the line being read.
Unless you're thinking supersonic travel, the "coffin corner" (difference between stall speed and Mach 1 (or Vne)) also narrows as you get higher. In an extreme case, the U-2 cruises at 70,000 ft, and at that altitude the stall speed is about 10 knots below the maximum speed.
I'll call you anecdote with one of my own.
I've put the same 40,000 miles in the same 5 years on my '01 GMC Sierra and have had no issues besides a power steering pump when I bought it and regular maintenance.
I'll probably sell it after New year's and I'm not sure if it's a quirk in my area, the going rate is the same as what I paid 5 years ago.

A regular maintenance schedule does wonders for the reliability of a vehicle.
