What Netflix needs is to hire Harvey Weinstein.

He's one of the greatest content geniuses in American history.

He did more for film art than anybody, and made money while doing it.

I worked at Netflix, and their business model didn't make any sense then, and makes even less sense now that Disney is a goliath.

Anybody can build and operate a CDN these days if they access to content that people want to pay for.

Some old tools are gold. It's good to know them. You can master regular expressions and they are applicable everywhere, from simple parsers to mass-editing the files. You can master UNIX shell and some tasks will be incredibly easy. You can master vi and you'll be able to edit remote files over terrible ssh connection.

Also, IMO, some old tools are not bad, even if they're out of fashion. I can write web application with Java Servlets and JSP like it's 2000 and it'll be fast and performant enough for many use-cases, not everyone have to use React. So if some tools are not that good, but you know them very well, may be it's worth to keep them around.

Often the drug-testing things are related to contracts with either the (US Federal) government or contracts with companies that have contracts with the (US Federal)government, such as O&G, Healthcare and Banking.

That is to say: Sometimes companies don't have much choice in some of this.

EDIT: I just remembered that I was talking to my corporate attorney's office recently (medium-size-law), and they say that if any applicant's facebook page over spring-break was too salacious (for example), they wouldn't be willing to hire them, because they didn't want the client to think that they were not 'conservative and judicious and considered' (when I say 'conservative' here, it has nothing to do with left-/right- wing politics in the US)

Employees in a client-facing role have the potential to harm a company badly. Companies are cautious. Now, I believe this twitter thing in the OP is ridiculous, and their faulty use of NLP is beyond atrocious, I think that it is fair for employers to be concerned about linking their reputation to that of "proven" rogues, renegades (I can't even spell renegade, George), party-animals, and revolutionaries.

Do you disagree?

I think I understand your analogy. An individual LGBT person might not feel represented by elements of LGBT activism in the same way a worker might not about communism. I'm having trouble extrapolating that to what is/isn't ideology though. Could you explain a little more?

For example, imagine that two people of the same sex meet in university. They start dating and eventually move in together after a year or two. Fast forward and they've been cohabiting for a decade. They share bills and go out to dinner and bicker about whose turn it is to do the laundry. Would labelling them as a couple be considered LGBT ideology? How about considering them common-law?

It strikes me that "LGBT ideology" is a label you get to put on behaviours or traits when you decide you don't like them; otherwise it's "simply LGBT". I think I need more reasoning whether something shouldn't be allowed or not.
While I still listen to and enjoy The Daily, I'm 100% with you with Barbaro's cadence and the way he reads from his script. Especially with how he reads off the ending "Here's what else you need to know today" line after the main story is over. It sounds like "Here's... What else... You need... Toknowthcirbfifhskd". I always laugh to myself every time I hear that.

I also understand that teasing someone about the way they speak (even if it's just to myself, hundreds of miles away from my commute to work) especially shitty because how you speak is one of the most personal things about someone, but JEEEZE!

This is silly, though. Yes, facts can be thought of as stationary in time. No, no system is stationary in time. Even the ground you are on is moving.

This sounds awfully like "as long as you don't do anything visible you can be LGBT", with "LGBT ideology" being things like "you should be allowed to be recognizably LGBT in public", "you should be allowed to talk about being LGBT", ...

It is not about where your metrics are conventionally stored. Your base station is measuring your gain, all the time; if all your base stations are Huawei, then you can be located quite reliably, then add the other signals the network gives the base station for QoS, this does not seem all that difficult. There is no reason that information can't be gathered through a different channel and analyzed.

I don't know why y'all are lacking imagination all of a sudden on this one matter, but I hope you come around.
To be fair, a couple of the Adam Sandler movies haven't been half bad (at least for Adam Sandler), like Murder Mystery. Uncut Gems is also supposed to be pretty good, but I've not seen it yet.

Would labelling them as a couple be considered LGBT ideology?

You mean, like, roommates? It depends what you mean by 'a couple', obviously. People who live together are not necessarily involved in any kind of intimate relationship. What if it was three people who just hang out informally for a while ("date") and then move in together to share their rent/bills/chores?
I recently feel like I’ve watched all the good shows on Netflix already. I sometimes browse the online rankings or Netflix home page for half an hour and then, due to lack of interesting content decide to re-watch the show I’ve already finished. I’ll probably switch to HBO Go, or just torrents.

Most of the highly typed languages actually do a poor job with code completion and error handling, they were specifically designed with safety in mind and other aspects of the type system are given only secondary attention. TyoeScript is nice because it focuses on where type systems are really useful (feedback) as a first concern.

Sure, it can be expressed as a golden parachute by someone who is deeply confused by what a golden parachute is.

A golden parachute is a payment to get someone or of the company. It's a way for a company to part with someone without drama, lawsuits, etcetera. And sure, it could also be corruption.

It is not accumulated pensions over 35 years. Obviously. In a "black is not white" kind of way.

I have no particular knowledge of this dude. Maybe he was awful. Maybe he did as well as anyone could have in the circumstances. More likely, somewhere in the middle.

But his pension from more than there decades ago is not a golden parachute, and nobody would ever sign a contract with a three decade claw-back. This guy's total compensation does not sound terribly high by the standards of CEOs of this size organization.
Not to be that guy but this is mostly garbage. I suggest simply paying attention and testing. Switches can be a useful part of the tool but they can break things. It doesn't make things better rather it alters behaviors of the shell in sometimes unintended ways. Try some loops with some -eo. If you have a pipe that fails your script you're just ripping the heart and potential out of your script. I think you might just be looking for one-liners. It can be good to catch your failures and try other things vs "woop, damn, nope." Maybe you need things to fail first.

"Quote liberally" - also ripe. Mind your aPostrophes and Quotes because they do things.

I like writing for me and what I need done, not what or how others might have me write or how others might think it should be done.

The shell is a base orchestration and interface tool for your os. If you think it's just that bad then just stick to your language of choice but please refrain from suggesting lazy habits make a better shell, they don't.

Fly your own kite. It's much more fun.
I'm not talking about type checking with your run time code. Obviously this is exists. My mistake with the wording.

I am referring to the topic the poster is talking about, that is, type checking with type script and the precompile type checker of almost all statically typed languages.

The precompile type checks do not need run time code. These are separate things executed at separate times AND really you can get by with 100% static.

My roommate has D+ and there's almost nothing on it that's interesting to me. I like Marvel movies, too, but it feels like half the time I try to play one it says "Sorry, this won't be available until x date". I started watching the new Star Wars show and didn't find it that entertaining. I'd much rather spend the money on Netflix or ad-free Hulu (also owned by Disney).

Very true, but the balancing act is not as simple as a lot of people seem to think.

Obviously you can't spend a lot on shows that are losing money and stay solvent. But beyond that it's complicated

If you optimize only return-per-unit or viewers-per-unit (unit being movie, series, whatever) you could easily end up being a place that only makes a small number of "big" mass market appeal shows and movies.

That's a business model, but it's not the only one that makes sense. If you want to be a "big tent" sort of content place (very much where netflix started) you need to make some narrower appeal stuff. You have to make sure it still makes you money, but with a subscription service (rather than rental) this isn't actually easy to evaluate.

You also have to thing about time line. If you optimize for ROI on a short time (e.g. initial release) vs long burn, you'll make different decisions.

So part of this isn't just "you have to be a viable business", it's also "what sort of viable business".
I guess I subscribe to the school of thought that says that types are supposed to model the domain information of the data they represent. I know what it means when a value is either provided or not provided. I know what it means when a field has one of a number of values. I don't know what it's supposed to represent, in a domain sense, when a value is "a functor."
These are very different products, for different audiences
I think we,humans, are quite unique on this: we are extremely good at it yet it's one of the things we can't discuss without strong emotions.
I think that's just a side effect of them becoming a more global company and producing content for different markets but just throwing it all up worldwide.

Would agree their dubbing is universally horrendous. Even for something well reviewed like Dark.
As a German prime customer I recently cancelled. Mostly because next day shipping didn't work 75% of the time and I was unable to find the appropriate form to complain about this.

Also, all their apps are crap. Prime Video has a 300ms audio delay on my Android TV and chromecasting to said TV has an even worse delay. Their app is also extremely clunky to use and on top of that it's super slow on all my devices. It also kills all other running apps on my TV because it's so memory hungry. Sending feedback doesn't help, it's a lost cause.

Their music streaming app sent me to Spotify years ago because it crashed all the time and was slow, too.
Please don't generalize your own case either while you're at it.

Competition on the Edge of the Internet
Prime membership isn't worth it to me. "Free" shipping is priced into the cost each listing, and is glaringly obvious when comparing prices for the same item between Amazon and another retailer. Usually there is a few dollar difference, which is what the shipping cost would be with the other retailer. Many of the items I find on Amazon are cheaper to buy directly from the manufacturer on AliExpress, and I have no need to pay a middleman's markup.

There is also the issue of the counterfeit items I've received, and the quality of Amazon's branded products. When I went to return a knockoff product, reporting it as a counterfeit item wasn't even an option to mark as my reason for returning it. I've also had one of their branded surge protectors fail on me recently.

One reason why I’d still disagree is that Netflix heavily engineers personalization into their recommendations and listings. You’re not accidentally seeing those foreign titles, you are being targeted with them... which means you’re not being targeted with similar English language shows that would be as good a match in their system (because they would rather save that production money and try to get you to watch the already-made foreign show), or even less good shows in your language of choice.

For me it’s very nearly at a level of canceling the service. Their original content hasn’t been compelling for me personally in many years, and now it feels deliberately manipulative.
You also get 5% back at Amazon so it's definitely doable (I know i hit that last year).
How long is waiting list for your app?
Of course, but sometimes they break out the bolt actions with big glass. This might provide a little more assurance of a hit, esp if training budgets don't allow for folks to stay razor sharp.

I doubt it's integrated at this time but it would also allow for a workflow to authorize shots (and of course record the whole thing).
> Real world is immutable with respect to time. What happened, happened; you can't change it without a time machine. You can't just unpublish something, you have to actively work to destroy all practically accesible traces of it (and fight the people with interest in preserving these traces).

That definition doesn't make any sense. Mutability necessarily requires time to drive a change - no time passing, no mutation. Also, you are claiming that immutability is equivalent to irreversibility and the arrow of time, which I also think is a bit wonky.

I could afford $50 - if it helps me monetize leads
I don't think it's correct to say it's not good to buy lattes or new cars, but I think we should be aware of what it costs you verses the alternative.

I think it's common knowledge that new cars deprecate extremely quickly, so for most middle class individuals it's better to go with a used car to avoid losing loads of money in the long run.

A medium latte costs at least $3. For daily drinkers that's about $90/month, which is at least triple the value of the beans and milk it took to produce.
