Even putting that aside, it's more the kind of thing you'd expect in an art film than something intended for general audiences, even assuming the film overall is good (or good at doing whatever it's trying to do) which does not seem to be a safe assumption in this case.
I don't agree here with your premise. You claim not to care if people block ads, but that's the default behavior. "Brave Rewards" is opt in.

Additionally, as they show ads as system notifications, I've never equated them whatsoever with what I'm browsing, and I'd assume that's by design.

I use Brave because (for me) Firefox is slow, and Chrome is Google. As someone who's quite fond of you for example on HN, I'd love to not be blocked, but I'm not switching browsers for the privilege...
I imagine everyone agrees with you on that. You responded to an objection to a characterization of the book, not a criticism of the book for failing to match that characterization nor a claim that a book on the topic should be able to match it.
> On top of that, brave ads aren't distracting, are generally of high quality and non intrusive to the browsing experience.

Native notifications are incredibly distracting and intrusive.
As far as I know, there is a minimum salary requirement for the Blue Card visa. So this blows the 'Cheap-talent-taking-over, Reduced-average-wages' argument out of the water.

IMO, the reason this is happening is simple.
1) H1-B visas have an arbitrary numerical limitation every year, which is not tied to reflect the actual dearth of talent, and hasn't been updated since years.

2) They're extremely unreliable. You can only apply once a year, and it's a lottery. So employers aren't even sure if the candidate currently interviewing can get a work permit if hired. And the wait time to reapply is one year. Very inefficient.

3) The EU/Canada/Australia have a very streamlined visa process, allowing qualified candidates to quickly get a visa.
Easy to attract and retain talent.

If done right, these countries will benefit hugely like the US did in past decades. The new workers means more taxes, more demand/consumer spending and hence boost to the economy.

Also, I must mention the low birth rates in EU (as normally happens in developed countries) which will start to show next generation onwards. If not for these new immigrants and their tax dollars (euros/francs/kronas) it'll be hard to keep up with the social benefits and expenditure. If not for immigration these countries will end up like Japan with an old population and in massive, compounding debt.
I had a profound realization about journalism in college, when I read a popular science article about what it claimed was some astounding discovery in physics, then when I read the original paper realized that the journalist had taken a single sentence from the abstract completely out of context, misunderstood it entirely, and turned it into a sensational headline. I'm sure it was simply because the journalist didn't have a deep understanding of the principles involved in the paper, and that not all journalism is so far from the mark. But it definitely instilled a skepticism of journalism in me.

There are 3 generally possible responses to the article.
1) You agree that the NYT is imposing some sort of a liberal filter on the Mormon leader's actions.
2) You think the NYT's position is reasonable.
3) Or, you think like me that the NYT should have pointed out that the Mormon leader had committed criminal fraud by lying to take money off people.

It is my genuine view, but as you see here, if your view is 3) then it will be flagged.We are not allowed to say that the Emperor has no clothes.
I doubt people could.be convinced to do repeat (say monthly) viewings of a movie.

The only reason they are trying to "fix" it, is because they had so many big name people attached to it. Which, to be honest, I'm really confused about. The only reason I can think of is that it was based on a stage musical.
Living in Melbourne, Australia, the real risk of catastrophic injury keeps me from cycling. The chance of being "doored" is very real, and the likelyhood of getting hit by a moving car is also very real. Most of my colleagues that cycle have been involved in these accidents.

The city has bike lanes, which suddenly disappear, or require crossing moving traffic, just to go straight ahead, because the bike lane has now moved one car lane to the right.

Along with a lack of training of drivers with regards to sharing the road with bikes, I wouldn't ever recommend that someone cycles in this city, even though many do.

It would need the concerted effort from the entire population, similar to the Dutch population in the 70's or whenever they changed their bike road rules.

See: https://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/safety-and-road-rules/cyclis...

It mentions 771 "doorings" over a 5 year period. The number is probably much higher, since many wouldn't get reported.

I always felt this way about graphics programming. I really wanted to make video games, but it seemed like all the books I read went from easy to "speaking a foreign language" from one chapter to the next.

I felt that way learning React not long ago. I feel that way learning any new tech. I'm pretty sure that's what learning feels like.

You got some great advice. One other thing I'll offer that may not occur to you as a self-learner: find a mentor who's done it before. You can often find people willing to help at local meetups if you have them in your area. A mentor can help with the elements that make you feel overwhelmed so you can get on with the business of learning a side project. This isn't necessary, but it can save you a lot of time on the road to building confidence.

When I was in this spot, it was easy to feel like I was "behind" or everything was too hard. I don't know if this helps, but it's something everyone goes through learning new things. Take your time. Go slow. Don't give up.
Data Science Pulse
I am planning to launch this website to make a difference in Data Science field which is crowded by "how-to" blogs. My main problem with the "how-to" blogs is that they just assume that everyone knows what Data Science is. And people just want to implement Data Science in their business. I come to understand that this is not the case always.

My objective with this website is to clear up, understand and uncover the underlying patterns within Data Science field so that people can come up with objective reasons on WHY they need Data Science.

I have created a site and a landing page with the philosophy behind the idea. Please see below for the link.

https://datasciencepulse.com/

I am looking for a healthy discussion regarding this philosophy within the field.

The ZipCPU tutorials section is also great! They include verilog, using verilator (for simulation), and formal verification. And, personally, I think learning formal verification early is great, since it will probably be used more and more.

It's verilog, but you're going to have to learn some anyway. All of the new-generation HDLs compile down to verilog, which then goes into the various synthesis tools.

What you're experiencing is called the "good old days" syndrome. You're evolutionarily predisposed to first forget the bad stuff, so the way you remember the past is an idealized version that didn't really exist. This is very easy to see if you're into journaling.
> - Regional versions of films with anything from chunks of dialog ("I'm from X") up through entire cityscape backgrounds changed depending on the theater location. With CG, even things like character appearance (e.g. race) could be regional.

This already happens. Pixar movies for example do this, Inside Out for example used different region-specific foods that kids didn't like for that memory in the movie. Movies released in China and the US often are cut differently where in China the Chinese actor or actress is given more prominence in the plot.
Taiwan and North Korea are the only two countries I've found that seem to have no extradition and no (formal) interface to law enforcement abroad through Interpol.

American doctor who doesn't take insurance and charges $35 per visit
I guess you're new here. Personally, after 20+ years working in SF, I think that's a perfectly plausible outcome. I mean, the whole internet ad market has been a long slide to being as awful as they can get away with. The median investor cares much, much, much more about ROI than how that return is achieved. And a common outcome for content companies that aren't stars but have nonzero revenue is to end up as zombies that do anything that juices income a bit.
Arthur Clarke, in his throwaway short story The Nine Billion Names of God, had an obscure cult that believed humanity's, and the universe's, purpose was to write down all of God's names. They are well along before they rent a computer with a line printer, and finish the job in a few weeks. Then the stars start to go out.

"Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them.

In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know." – Michael Crichton

I read American Gods and was amazed that such a bloated story could have won the Hugo and Nebula awards. And it turned out it didn't; despite advertising those awards on the cover, the text I had read was 12,000 words longer than the one that had been awarded.

I'm talking about operating as a business. Nobody executes better than Amazon right now.

As for as the store experience, their selection, price, speed and convenience has led to their wild success. The fakes from 3rd-party sellers are not as big of a problem as HN makes it seem, and they could drop them overnight if they really wanted to in case any liability arises.

Amazon retail is growing like crazy. They have more retail channels opening up beyond the main ecommerce store and they're investing 1.5B for 1-day delivery (while trivially putting Fedex on death watch as a side effect). The only serious competition they have is Walmart which has hit on groceries as a magic bullet, and Target.

Fakes are not as big of a problem as HN makes it seem. Margins only help Amazon beat its competitors. And there's nothing antitrust can do since there's no monopoly on retail outlets, people want to shop there by choice.

Leakers are playing their part in the same game. In the case of companies I've worked for in the past, leakers were just grabbing cash in exchange for helping the media push the distorted narratives that were already being published, framing the leaker as a hero. This isn't to say all leakers are to be mistrusted; "skepticism" is indeed the right word, and I believe it still applies to leakers.

Edit to add: there are obvious cases where whistleblowing is a necessary and welcome action for ethical reasons, but most often "leaks" that I've seen get blown up by the media over sensitive information that does no one any good, inside or outside of the affected company. I think "737 Max is unsafe"-style leaks are less common.

The problem with Amazon is anything can be "3rd-party" and you'll never know until you have a problem with it. Maybe the fraudulent product was the result of a sketchy 3rd-party dealer but also I don't really care -- I bought it from "Amazon" and they sent me tainted inventory.

Target and Walmart are catching up with their online operations and at least with them I don't have to worry about being shipped fake products.

Das U-Boot is the embedded bootloader and is pretty standard for embedded ARM systems (and others! https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/tree/master/arch).

On a dev-board prototype before, I had also used Buildroot (https://buildroot.org) to create the minimal root filesystem image. This time around, I decided to use Debian since it makes installing packages I want much easier. For example, I can just apt-get install the USB wifi firmware packages instead of hunting them down and including in a manually generated image. It's still using a custom compiled kernel though, since I have custom drivers for things like the graphics hardware.

I'm trying to use Rust for as much as possible (I like Rust a lot). The STM32L0 runs rust, I bodged together a framebuffer driver in Rust, and the games in userspace are also in Rust. I'll post about the Rust framebuffer driver at some point.
