The distributor charged very little because they were film reels that were returned to the distributor after the film's opening few weekends, as movies left theaters to make room for new movies. So all the money made on those reels was gravy before they were destroyed. (Some of those reels ended up overseas instead, I think.) It's a different world now with digital exhibition.
The full crew list (per IMDB) for any 1929 movie I've found fits entirely on one screen. The full crew list for a current day movie takes many dozens of screens, often well over 1000 people in all.

The first 2019 movie I picked has more stunt performers than the top-rated 1929 movie has total cast and crew. I think it's incredible if we're putting 100x as many people to work (some risking serious injury) and only doubling the cost of the end product.

Economies of scale are great.

I have a Subaru with some sort of "Eye Sight" feature. It is quite handy in maintaining a constant distance from a car in front of you in moderate traffic - but you have to always be ready for someone to cut you off. It tracks the lane markers and rumbles the steering wheel. If a car stops short ahead of you, it beeps and flashes an indicator - I'm usually on the ball enough to hit the brakes myself though, so I don't know if its automatically braking or not.

That being said, there is a place on my commute where going around a curve in one particular spot (southbound highway 17 in Santa Cruz, before the Glenwood Cutoff if anyone is playing at home) where 9 times out of 10 the car thiunks thinks I'm about to drive into a wall, sounds the alarm, and then regains its senses.

So I haven't had it fail in a harmful way but I also don't think I'd ever give it enough rope to hang me with.
Given that the US has operations aiming to capture large amounts of Internet traffic, and given that most interesting Internet traffic is encrypted nowadays, doesn't it follow that they probably have a way to decrypt at least some of it? Capturing DNS queries and HTTP requests to aging websites that still haven't enabled TLS seems not worth the trouble.
"you have to always be prepared for it to do something completely unexpected on a dime"

This is inherently absurd, even if you remove the last three words. You could write an essay, or a book, on why this is an example of a class of impossible problems. Or, inverting it, it's practically the generic framework of all catastrophes.
Given your last couple posts I suspect you might not be aware of the forum guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Brainstorming a range of negative interpretations of my words then providing appropriate insults for each, isn't my idea of responding to the strongest plausible interpretation of my words. For that matter, if you can't imagine anything that isn't insult-worthy, you might simply ask me what I mean. The answer would be that I was arguing capitalism has a relatively unusual feature of actually channeling greed rather than trying to stamp it out. If "the new soviet man" makes a decision for personal profit versus that of society they are corrupting their communist system. Whereas a capitalist can do so completely within their capitalist system. It has nothing to do with name-calling or about who is and isn't "corrupt" as some inherent human or systemic flaw. Do you still not get my point?

Responsibility being a zero sum game is literally what a lot of these conversations and the emerging laws are about. If users are making a mistake often enough to be noticible then the system and its interface are encouraging that behavior. If the autopilot is being used in ill-advised situations then the question becomes why the system wasn't more comprehensible to the user, if it was then they wouldn't have made a bad judgement because they would have understood the limitations of the system. This is just another instance of blaming users for bad design.

Musk, you and I know what people think auto-pilot on a car does. I really wish these were not on the road.

Pilots engage autopilot and then let the computer do the work. They are not sitting ready at the stick to jump in at the slightest issue in case the system thinks the sun is another plane or some other odd error. My understanding is that the plane flies on it's own for hours. Is that incorrect? Yes for special phases humans can take charge (eg taxiing), but it's clearly demarcated.

I never said that. I am not the person you were originally responding to. But I will respond to this assertion:

>Investors aren't going to give you money if creation is expensive, and copying is zero cost.

Yes, they will. The trick is to make each copy generate you money in some other way. Additionally sometimes it isn't even directly about the money -- if the good becomes public and simultaneously brings up the value of all of their other investments, then the amount of copying really doesn't matter.
You can make it look better by giving FF a dark theme. I agree it doesn't look great out of the box.

As for the use case, I don't think it's an understatement to say it changed how I browse the web. Before I discovered Tree Style Tabs, I was like you -- I only kept a few tabs open and was diligent about maintaining a coherent working set.

Now, I build hierarchical structures of nested tabs based on what I'm working on, and I easily reach the 60+ tab range on a daily basis. Instead of those tabs feeling like a burden, it's trivial to make use of all of them without feeling like anything is cluttered. I can maintain so much more organized information at my finger tips in Firefox than I ever could before.
Oh man. Mouse support. How did I miss that? How is it with VNC? Might finally be time to move to my iPad Pro + some remote BSD & Linux VMs on a cheap, beefy used workstation tower in a closet for all my personal computing needs. Sell this aging macbook. Maybe a little Rpi4 or something stuck under my desk and connected to Ethernet for when I just need ports. I mean shit now that macOS murdered most of my games by removing 32 bit it has little to recommend it over iOS, aside from native app dev and mouse support, and the latter may now be moot and I can rent a remote Mac if I actually need it to compile iOS apps, iOS dev support's probably showing up on iOS in the next 1-3 years anyway.

"At some point in the future insurance companies will figure out that self driving is less dangerous than human drivers and start offering cheaper premiums and deductibles to self driving only cars"

Where does the faith in the tech and its future come from though? Wouldn't it be more logical to wait and then say "hey, Geico is offering a 20% discount if I buy a new car with these features, guess they must really make a difference" rather than going around proclaiming how much safer they are in advance?

There's too often conflation and confusion surrounding two larger principles:

a. The layers of beliefs that build on each other that lead to amplified productivity, wealth, success, popularity and such.

b. that poverty isn't an innate quality or fate, but a prison of the mind most people get attached to and will defend. They can escape it if they so choose.

a.)

1. Locus-of-control - Poor people exist in world where they are made to feel like criminals and everything is a zero sum game. So, it doesn't seem to matter about saving a dollar here or a dollar there. (External locus-of-control/learned helplessness). Contrast this with people who make a game, and get a thrill, out of buying something on closeout and getting to use a coupon on top of it. Costco: it's hard to get a poverty-oriented person excited about saving money at Costco

2. Saving - People who are poor don't choose to have high Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC), they have unmet needs and emergencies all of the time.

3. Investing and ownership - People who don't have any savings and don't have internal locus-of-control can't conceive on multiplying money with money, so they can't really build balance sheet affluence. And if workers were rational, they would consider what profits they were giving away to their employers for a pittance, and take collective action to improve their lot or form another company (co-op's/worked-owned enterprises). Also, people in a poverty-mindset will often believe that lottery tickets, celebrity or special talents (magical thinking) are their "way out."

b.) Poverty isn't strictly income or balance sheet, it begins with either elements of virtuous-cycle or self-defeating, vicious-cycle attitudes. When people believe a certain way or lack confidence, they continually sabotage themselves with every choice and missed opportunity in live.

On the flip-side, continued wealth is never assured: people can convince themselves they are invincible, have infinite money and/or otherwise sabotage their cash cows like pissing-off their customers.
People say a self-driving car is safer than the average person. I say, well, I'm above average, because I don't drink or text while driving, for starters. So people say "well you just think you're a better driver - everyone thinks that and on average they're wrong". And I say, assume I'm lying about not drinking or texting, it's still a lot cheaper and more efficient to stop doing that than to buy a new car with the latest tech.

If a self-driving car isn't safer than a sober professional driver, then wouldn't it be logical to just have people ride the bus instead of wasting resources on tech? I knew a bus driver who went a million miles without an accident.

I agree entirely with your point, and wanted to follow a small tangent:

> they lack self-preservation instinct

I suspect that a self-preservation instinct, even in relatively dumb animals, is enormously complex. It might seem simple to us because it's so evolved, so hardwired. If I had to bet, I'd bet that a mouse's self-preservation instinct is more complex than the first-to-market Level 5 self-driving car will be.

And that's good, because I definitely don't want automated vehicles to have more than a hint of self-preservation wiring.

A lot of rental cars I've used in Italy have this lane assist feature. Italian roads often have... inconsistent or incomplete... markings.

I still hold that they should’ve renamed GNOME 3 something other than GNOME and let each develop as their own things. I feel like that method would’ve hemorrhaged fewer developers. Clearly there was some sort of closed meeting at Redhat with the few people that inherited leadership of GNOME deciding on the complete overhaul; it wasn’t a democratic process.

GNOME 3 is performing well enough now that I have moved over to it. At its introduction, though, it forced compositing, and drivers were not ready. That coupled with the massive UI changes gave users good reasons to complain.

I have no idea where you're from that computer science has a "stereotype for geniuses". And I'd also go so far as to say computer programming still isn't a high prestige position.

What this industry does benefit from is exposure and general tool knowledge, which, what do you know, is easiest to get when you're a bored teenager with too much time. The idea of the "missing semester[1]" is so prevalent mit put a whole thing together.
