Frankly the cost in the US isn't necessarily worth it anymore. I've been a Netflix user since 2008/2009. Back when no one took VoD seriously, the catalogue was huge. You could actually get lost trying to find something because there was so much good content. Now, with every company attempting to cash in on their own platform, choices on a single platform are very, very limited. I've also noticed that many titles are shared between Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon so the illusion of choice is really just that.

I think original titles and foreign distribution (ie getting content from not your nation) are quickly becoming the only differences. That's what cable was when I moved away.

I have, quite honestly, consumed everything I'm incredibly interested in on the majors. None of them turn out originals fast enough to keep my interest and new/returning content comes in a trickle so I've recently turned to just buying old shows I like and watching those. It's just like the nineties/aughties all over but without the hope of what was then cable cutting.

We don't need DC sockets as they dont solve any problems. The stupid simple AC mains distribution system is well tested and proven. Who cares that they provide up to 3kW. The "last meter" problem is perfectly solved using AC-DC wall warts and bricks. If the power supply dies, you buy a new one and just plug it in. No electrician required. Putting things in wall or central distribution is not a solution to any existing problem and introduces needless cost and complexity.

A better solution would be to get everyone on board with a single DC voltage and connector. Then we can buy larger multi socket bricks that are just AC-DC power strips. You can then add batteries and give it UPS functionality. But good luck getting everyone to agree on a single standard.

Book Review: All Therapy Books
But Debord's work is not an academic dissertation, nor should it be taken as such. It doesn't present new evidence or advance a logical hypothesis, it merely shows another way of thinking about the things we all know and see; much like so many works of art.

In any case, I think the criticism is much overstated. A lot of the book is quite plain to read.
"The future will be just like the past, but with a different name".

That’s a short-term view. There’s going to be legacy cruft either way. Either we have the existing HTML + JS with WASM alongside it, or we introduce a ton of new APIs to let WASM function by itself.

Using the existing HTML + JS avoids creating as much future legacy cruft.

When I read this book the first time, I was slightly intrigued and somewhat disappointed. Years later, when I was on a spiritual journey, a reread revealed profound depth and led me toward a complete shift in perspective on life.

After months of philosophy, I again questioned the value of the ideas the book hints at. It's one of those books that can be a guide - if you need one, are ready for one, and haven't yet encountered the deeper themes.
Huh, it's been about a decade since I last visited Pittsburgh, I had no idea. Thanks for sharing.
Not Op, but I'd like to do python/WASM because I don't do want to do C-Like languages. Sometimes you want to do some light web interactivity without major mental context switching.

For me, personally, it's a lot of effort to switch between languages. So when I'm building a web project and most of it is django/flask/python/etc, but I want something more dynamic than a HTML form post/browser reload... I need to do it in Javascript. Not that I can't javascript, I can, it's just hard to change over and I'm slow to write it. It would be a whole bunch nicer if I could just stay in the python mindset for those small pieces of code.

Do I think python is "better" for the web? No. do I think it's faster? Doubt it.

Do I think it's "better" for my use cases? Yes - And that's the power of WASM. It allows people to do what works for them.
>Books like this, or the works of other terrible French scholars, are the bread and butter of this fashionable nonsense

I must admit, at someone familiar with the works, I couldn't disagree more. Althusser never seemed like nonsense to me, nor did Foucault, Badiou, Deleuze etc. - but the fact that it can be used as fashionable nonsense by a university debate team does not make it so. If you want real arguments and discussions on the topic, put it into Google Scholar and read some papers around whatever work you think is "fashionable nonsense". It's not as though the authors want to keep it as "nonsense" either - Debord famously published the Comments too.

A new mid-size jet will run you $10-20M.

Pilots and maintenance will cost you $1M+ per year. Depending on how much you use it, that could be significantly more. Spending 10-20% of your net worth on a vehicle up front + 1% pa going forward is not "comfortably afford".

If my net worth was $2M, I would not say that I could comfortably afford a lambo.

First of all, the name is bad. It's not self-explanatory. I don't care why it's called that and I don't care to find out.

Secondly, creator-centric platforms don't pay off. Platforms bring the audience, creators bring the content. Platforms make creators, not the other way around. No creator got from zero to hero without a platform that has attained critical mass. That mass isn't attained by catering to the creators, but to the audience. The audience doesn't care about creators until the platform introduces them.

If creator-centric platforms paid off, there wouldn't be these insane commissions (often upwards of fifty percent) that creators are willing to give up just to be on the platform. Competition would drive commissions down. Rather, it's more of a winner-takes-all game, and those winner platforms get away with it. Low-commission platforms don't bring the traffic, and vice versa.

For one thing, not being broken. Python doesn't have ("1"+1) and similar design flaws, Python doesn't need a new ECMAscript standard every year, Python has figured out modules and classes much earlier, and frankly, Python is what Javascript is only becoming after years of improvement. Really, I don't understand why we and the browser maintainers have to put up with a broken, insane language when there is a similar but much more mature and "done right" one. And as far as ecosystem, Python can kick Javascript's ass if not in quantity (though it's close) then in quality of its userbase for sure. And Python has been used onе the backend much more than JS, so it makes much more sense to unify the language and just use Python for the front-end.

the xip.io is primarily used by private addresses (I hope no one uses it for public ones) there are no real private ipv6 addresses so by using the original service it's risky.
That struck me as wierd too, then it got me thinking about the 'great wall' and China's ability to insert tracking ( or other ) JavaScript into a user's session... and then how that's going to be different now in the age of web assembly...

The point is to prevent ads. If you can set the monetization preference to "not allowed" on your own song, then the new trick might work. It seems rather bazaar for 50% ads + no ads = no ads rather than just being taken down. I wouldn't be surprised if this edge case was fixed already and the system just leaned towards take downs. When people used to add copyrighted music to videos at one of my previous companies (2016), YouTube would immediately take the video down. Rarely did they allow it to stay up with monetization.
As far as I understand, all they are doing is resolving the ipv6 address in the domain name to an AAAA record that matches the IP address in the name.

The domain name will still be 'has-a.name', so I don't understand how the certificate part is supposed to work. If anything you'd have to get their TLS cert for this to work, not the other way around.
Seems like the obvious next step is using WebAssembly outside the browser so we can really go full-circle on this one

> You could argue for an alternative to html/DOM - some kind of rendering format that is meant specifically for full-featured applications.

Well, there are three ways to do that. You can use a 2D canvas, you can use a WebGL canvas, or you can use a bitmap canvas. This is roughly equivalent to what you get when you’re programming a desktop application anyway. This is a cornucopia of alternatives here! I’m having a hard time understanding what is missing.

These “use the DOM” in the same sense that desktop applications use the window manager. You’re just drawing into an element in some compositing system. This is fine, there’s no real benefit to bypassing the DOM—like window managers, you can bypass the compositor when possible and go through the compositor when unavoidable. This is transparent to the application programmer.
a savings glut is the thing that Krugman has suggested, and is the thing which makes sense to me.

React and friends solves that problem for you. It was designed to be a UI layer for web apps. It does use the DOM at the end, but you are not managing it anymore.

I don't think the downplay of HTML/CSS (referring to it as hacks) is valid just because 30 years ago it was about document delivery. You have to start somewhere. It took a while and it made some people fed up with it, I've seen that. I still have some PTSD from hacking IE6, those were the real hacky days. Nowadays most stuff just works.

What we have as a spec is the lowest common denominator that passed the test of tons of communities and companies, and from this perspective it's incredibly successful.

> You can’t diversify radically from your own company and at the same time tell investors it’s the future and it’s going to be trillion dollar business etc.

Sure you can; in fact in many cases you should. Say, one knows (to keep things scientific; replace "knows" with "honestly believes" to somewhat reflect real life) his $100M invested in a company to have a 50% chance of being worth $1B in 5 years and 50% chance of being worthless.

This means expected 500% return in 5 years, which should make (diversified) investors pour money in. But as a real person with $100M net worth, I do not want a 50% chance of zero net worth at any expected return rate. I would rather get $80-90M today, which will give my family 100% chance of financial independence, and leave $10-20M in as a riskier bet. My 2c.

I own a handful of Esperanto books, most of them translations that range in quality (e.g. a surprisingly good translation of The Hobbit that also translates both the poetry and the runes on the map, but also an abysmally bad translation of Alice in Wonderland that abandoned any attempt to preserve the wordplay) but the native-Esperanto books I do have are often endearingly clunky in a way that marks them as obviously self-published. For example, one of them regularly misprints its own title: the cover and the spine don't even agree on the name of the book!

That's a self-fulfilling prophecy. You're essentially saying "the markets always rise over time" is a fundamental law that cannot be broken, and counterexamples are clearly just temporary recessions (no matter how long the recession).

When you take the logic to such extremes, it becomes a meaningless statement. It's literally impossible to disprove this assertion if you just ignore the evidence that says it's not true. Japan is absolutely a counterexample.

The official US inflation measure is garbage.

It doesn't include enough of the big 3 costs in people's lives : housing, education and healthcare.

It includes whacky stuff like "oh your cellphone is faster now than 5 years ago, we're going to say that you're getting 10x the phone for roughly the same price and use that to disprove inflation".

It ignores asset inflation (stocks, real estate, venture capital, everything else) driven by QE. The average person never saw the QE because it went straight to banks and inflated asset prices. Rich people with assets made 4x their money. Wage slaves saw none of it. None of this is counted in inflation measures.
