Sex drive-in
Financially it's been fine, but the last movie was disliked by critics, the audience reviews were mixed at best, and the fanbase has been at each other throats.

Hollywood tends to pay a lot of attention to CinemaScore (very roughly: exit polls of people seeing it on the opening night), and The Rise of Skywalker got the lowest CinemaScore (B+) of any live-action Star Wars movie - lower than Solo and the prequels. "They audience liked it ALMOST as much as the one with Jar-Jar!" is not what Disney wanted to hear, especially since that sort of thing will have huge flow on effects to the ongoing revenue stream (toys, theme park rides, merchandising). For example, I believe the newest Star Wars ride has sharply underperformed, and Disney leadership will probably believe (correctly) that the poor reception the latest movies got was a driving factor.

And the box office take, while still very substantial, was underwhelming for what was meant to be the crowning glory of a 40 year franchise, and compares poorly to other end movies for big franchises.

The "point" of buying Lucasarts from Disnye's point of view was to apply a lot of money and some of the magic they've used on the Marvel franchise to make a truly vast amount of money, get a bunch of critical acclaim, and set up the franchise as a money spinning machine that will keep filling theatres for spinoff movies every year forever. Instead they merely made a very large amount of money, the critics said the last movie stunk, and the fanbase seems deeply disinterested in more movies, which had led to them cancelling a bunch of planned movies.

It's not that bad, and I'm sure it's fixable, and the Mandalorian is doing great, but MAN is it less than what they were hoping for.

(And persistent rumours have it that Iger intervened directly into the creative process of The Rise of Skywalker late in the cycle. If true, that makes the disappointing TRoS results reflect on him...but I obviously have no idea if that's true.)

That being said....I don't think Star Wars was bad enough to trigger this. CEOs typically can do much worse for much longer, and as others have noted, the choice of replacement (and the speed of the replacement) is mystifying. I would guess ill health, or maybe some sex scandal rather than poor performance being a factor.
You can definitely do DNS over HTTPS/TLS for everything if you run your own DNS server, either locally or somewhere on your network. I do this, and it works great, both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages of course.
To be honest I was underwhelmed by the last trilogy, and I'm no longer eager to see other Star Wars movies because of that.
I really dislike it when some antecdote of an (apparently) fake homeless scammer is taken as a substantial point in these discussions on homelessness.

No doubt some small portion of scammers have an effective scam around homelessness. Other scammers do better on other things. My guess is that most people become homeless through lack of skill and knowing the best scams is likely one more skill that most homeless people don't have. Obviously, income stream available for people to "make a career" out of fake homelessness is so small that only a small number of people can be doing it. And, of course, that a given person might be lying in a way that seems like they imagine will get them money doesn't mean they get much more or that they aren't on the streets through general dysfunction (homeless people aren't angels, people in general aren't angels but people face the demand to be angels much more strongly when homeless).

When I lived in the Bay Area is that 90s, honestly, the scamming skills were far higher than they are now and as naive student, I'd have people scam me for a few bucks, which I generally could afford to lose, (with the worse thing being a person invited over who stole from my roommates). The beggars of today lack such skills (just pick pocketing has faded, etc).

The lessen for an average here is, imo, is give to homeless people but don't give more on a sob story, don't give only to a sob story. Just giving money to portion of people really more efficient than giving to agency X. If you're not selecting for scammers, it should work well.
Just finished a job search with Vue as the framework I have most experience in. Can confirm 95% of jobs seem to be React. Vue seems to be seen as a good option for moving away from sort of previous mess or something that backend/'full stack' devs can pick up quickly.

The senior jobs from my experience are there when the above goes awry without dedicated Vue (or even front end) knowledge.
I think Solo was good, but it was a collateral damage from the fanbase.
Very limited with TLS. With webhosts, the PTR record means little. CDNs also obfuscate your destination. Shared hosting sites only care about the host field in the encrypted HTTP as well. Especially given the oversaturation of IPv4.

Keep in mind, it's not just what you visit but how often as well and a lot other details (dns is cached)
Also, in the US, also in the 70's -- a bomb was put in a locker at Grand Central Station in 1976 and, a year earlier, a bomb was placed in a locker at Grand Central Station. Both bombs went off (and both may have been connected to Balkan politics) [0].

I believe one or both of these bombs explains why lockers were removed in NYC (and this may have led to other places removing them too).

Clothing is a wildly different market. Imagine if the only way to get clothes were through a bespoke tailor, in person. No other way. And you often had—had—to get a very specific kind of jacket or whatever, no option to sub some other article, or else you or your kid dies or lives in pain or something. That’s healthcare. If clothes worked that way that market would suck, too.

> 'swapping ads with their own' - not true

Only by the strictest definition of swap. They block ads and show ads from their own ad network, which they collect revenue on. That the Brave ads don't appear in the same place as the blocked ads doesn't impact the ethics of it.

That's one thing I've wondered about as well. Most of what pharmacists do can be automated and should be automated. That doesn't mean pharmacists should be without work. Their expertise should be applied elsewhere. What's the point of getting so much education to simply count pills?

Better yet, why can't your doctor just send the request to a pharmacist facility and have them fill the order and deliver it to your home? Why does he hand you a piece of paper that you have to bring to a pharmacist? When you give blood, you don't take the vials/tubes to the testing facility. The doctor's office sends it where it needs to go.

I'm a .NET developer and I can't tell you how many times I've searched for documentation and come across something that's targeting UWP which is different than WPF and entirely not the same as WinForms and it takes way too much energy trying to identify why exactly the documentation isn't what you want. I thought Microsoft was more or less sunsetting WinForms until they also announced WinForms for .NET Core a couple months ago. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/porting/winform...

I literally have no idea what Microsoft is doing anymore. Sometimes it feels like Linux was 10 years ago when I would accidentally install Konquerer on Gnome and all of a sudden I had two desktop systems installed and my root drive had doubled it's consumed harddrive space. It basically worked, but it was a terrible experience.
...the dominant narrative of people who want to sell you advertising technology, yes.

A shopping website will want to do two things: Provide the customer with the most comfortable shopping experience while cutting down the cost of providing it. Advertising is a null-sum game in this case (cuts down costs by adding additional revenue, but makes user experience worse, thus leading to fewer customers), so it only makes sense if that's all you're selling.

How the internet nonetheless became "infested" with ads is obviously a mystery to me...
Sounds strange maybe but, does everyone have to participate in black markets? Are there any penalties for just being without vices like you mentioned?

I'm not sure how you got "I like Dart" from my two comments. I'm clearly saying that Dart & Flutter are based on very popular and well tested concepts/structures, therefore it is not very risky. Dart & Flutter by themselves may not be very widespread, but it's very familiar and easy to adopt to anyone who has done declarative UI web development in Javascript or Javascript-like language, which are widespread.

Rust, on the other hand, is treading new ground with the unusual core concept of a borrow checker.

If I need the guy in the middle, I, by definition, am not good enough to be the guy at the end building the device.

The reason why it doesn't use the Chrome DevTools Protocol is that it (Helium) is a wrapper around Selenium WebDriver [0].

One advantage of wrapping WebDriver, rather than using something like the Chrome DevTools Protocol, is that WebDriver has an interface specified by an W3C Standard [1] [2], and can be implemented for any browser. The Chrome DevTools Protocol (obviously) only works with browsers based on Chrome.

The coating is oil from the chicken, and they wash it and replace it with mineral oil, which works just as well.

I speak from experience: I have not refrigerated US bought eggs for around 10 years. Not a single problem.

If you keep them un-refrigerated for more than 2 months (which I did because there was a really good deal, so I bought a lot), the eggs are not fresh, the yolk falls apart easily. (So not great in certain recipes.)

However they are not spoiled or anything like that, and the taste is unchanged.

It's because their actions exposed illegal activities that various governments were partaking in. The same organizations which define what a criminal is, and are supposed to be held accountable to the people. Having people that are above the law is of course a dangerous precedent. To boil down to a stupid thought experiment, why should Assange or Snowden be prosecuted when the people who they exposed blatantly exposed breaking the law were not?
A "pure" competitive market would, but we don't have that and we're not going to get it. Eliminate insurance "networks", force hospitals to publish price lists and give the same price to every patient, make the medical statistics of every hospital and provider publicly accessible, and costs will plummet. As of now we have a hybrid system that combines the worst of both methods.

Categorizing ads as "user abuse" is hyperbolic and I doubt any significan fraction of users feel they're being abused when they see a banner ad for potato chips. Bringing customers and companies together is a basic and necessary aspect of living in a market economy. I've seen commercials for new food offered at restaurants, wanted it, gotten it, and felt good about the whole chain of events; have I been abused?

Further if "tracking" makes ads more relevant then all the better for everyone involved. Some electrons in a server in a rack on the other side of the country, that you'd never know existed if people didn't stir up a hysteria over, not even directly correlated to your real identity or containing anything more important than a preference for high end silverware, can't hurt you and have no just cause to be demonized.
It's all relative. For most businesses, productivity is more important than the cost of infrastructure because it creates more revenue to cover the cost, leading to a net profit.

That being said, it also makes sense to apply some basic optimizations to reduce costs by a significant margin, as long as the work involved in optimizing pays off. A few days to cut costs by 50% makes sense, a few months to save a few dollars doesnt.
It helps with their insurance as well, especially if someone is driving on company business.

In what way is it unethical for a company who is providing me a valuable service to also give me the opportunity to opt-in to seeing ads to support that service?

And in what way is it unethical for that same company to provide the service, which I desire, of blocking ads that I've already decided I don't want to see, because the people serving me those ads are violating my privacy?

Many people seem fixated on trying to frame this in the most disparaging way possible, which distracts from the reality of what is actually happening here.

Today all my content is hosted in wordpress and all articles are basically a title, a body with just text and an audio file.

It's legally required because even with a prescription, an untrained person can't just walk to a hypothetical drug store with everything on the shelf and safely select what's written down. There are too many chances to make mistakes, misreading the label, self diagnoses and prescription of dangerous substances, etc. This can be addressed by automated, human-free system with tech we have today. Your doc sends a valid Rx, a box dispenses your drug. I don't know if it would be cost effective today, but we could do it and it stands to reason that one day it will be cheaper than doing it (validating substances and dose) with one highly trained human counting pills by hand at every single location.

Potentially dangerous drug interactions and instructions can be solved by automation for what can be automated and tele-pharmacists in all others.

Also, isn't it safe to say that by the nature of USB MIDI interfaces, they are not well suited for MIDI operation? As in: Since USB drivers buffer messages, it causes jitter. Is that correct? Are there USB MIDI interfaces / drivers that don't have these issues otherwise?

Added to that: MIDI is mostly used for interfacing with external hardware, and as such you're dependent on the external hardware's MIDI implementation, which isn't always superb to say the least unfortunately.

Excellent point.

Medical care can be difficult to compare, but is that necessarily true across ALL medical care? There exists a high degree of fungibility in most preventive care: routine treatments like annual physicals, bloodwork, antibiotic prescription, flu shots, diagnostic imaging, etc.

The next question is: is there the same degree of fungibility for more major care, like tonsillectomies and appendectomies? Perhaps brain surgery and oncology is less fungible — but they are also perfect candidates for insurance coverage since they're catastrophic.
