I think this whole way of thinking about Netflix is dumb though, e.g. “ Netflix dominating means that shows are sold directly to Netflix.”

Netflix is not good at creating content. As time goes forward, Netflix is even less good as they need to cater to mass markets, thereby losing niche markets, and without having a brand or catalog like a Disney, or live sports, or trusted news, etc.

Netflix is not a business entity I would long. It is absolutely a fad, and will lose negotiating power to distributors and content creators.
It would have been nice to see a bit more inclusion of what was happening in the Americas during this same period, since they were already fairly populated. He also mentions the impact of Bubonic plague, but neglects to mention the early initial impact of smallpox in the Americas - some estimates are that it killed roughly 10% of all human life on the planet in less than 100 years.

>"Our new data-driven best estimate is a death toll of 56 million by the beginning of the 1600s — 90 percent of the pre-Columbian Indigenous population and around 10 percent of the global population at the time. This makes the “Great Dying” the largest human mortality event in proportion to the global population, putting it second in absolute terms only to World War II, in which 80 million people died — 3% of the world’s population at the time."

Given that the "discovery" of the "New World" was a pivotal feature of the period alluded to in the article, the fact that it had just been massively depopulated and was then taken over by new settlers seems hugely relevant to a "long view on globalization".

In addition, there is good evidence that agriculture was independently invented in the Americas, in addition to its advent in the fertile crescent and early china.
We have seen a lot of talk about a single point of failure but localizing the manufacturing isn't a pancaea by any means as they also shut down during pandemics. The only things immune are automated and unable to be contaminated.

Also technically it is better for income inequality in global terms if it converges to a global median. That is why so many hate it because they are the ones with their ox gored by reduced inequity and they don't even consider themselves that rich!

I recognize that is a glib and misleading truth in many ways given PPI differences mean that a salary to be locally comfortable in one locale could lead to homeless starvation in another, that inequality exists both locally and globally. It is more a note about the irony than any statement of morals.

More than anything else, we rolled out the 'COVID-19 support' features because of what our artists were telling us. We got flooded by artists telling us that they wanted to use their art sales to raise money for COVID-19 relief. But we also knew that many artists are tight on cash, so we said "instead of sacrificing your cut, let us give our cut, and you can keep yours during this insane time." The last thing we wanted was to penalize anyone.

There's also the case that tracks alone need a lot of intelligence to process. "Here they can see the Kudu were running by the spacing of the tracks and the bull is isolated and taking a different track".

There are some very common purposes that are closely associated with enterprise IT. Writing line of business applications for Windows environments (server and/or desktop) is one of them.

But there is of course a sense in which Swift is a general purpose language as opposed to something like SQL if that's what you mean.

Unfortunately, right now Swift is not (yet) a pragmatic choice for anything other than iOS/macOS apps.

Do you know if I fix it, how to trigger a rescan of the offending URL, not the advertisers' page? I'm trying to figure out what the lifecycle and stickiness of a flagged URL is.

Example:

a.startup.com/script.js

I'm considering this strategy:
* drop fingerprinting and form submission like you suggest
* resubmit advertiser.com's ads for a rescan, but if theyve got startup.com's url flagged, will they rescan that URL too?
* problem: how do I know how to long wait to see if it worked?

My next move would be:
* setting up a new subdomain, new filename (like b.startup.com/newscript.js)

That's one identity, but the owner of the house would have other identities. The fact that you know that the owner of the house approved the lien would not automatically tell you that, for example, the person living in the house approved the lien. Or that a certain employee of a certain company approved it. These would all be separate identities, even if they all refer to the same person.

Even in countries with unique, centralized identities, you don't go around handing your government ID to everyone you meet. You use it for official legal business only. In other contexts you still have less formal identities which remain separate from your official identity.

As someone who is a big fan of Red Hat, it horrifies me to see the new CEO be described like that. He sounds like one of the worst people for Red Hat. I admit I despise power seekers and people with tempers, so that's coloring my view a lot.

I have always been optimistic about Red Hat's future, but this has me very worried. Red Hat has done so much good in the world, and it would suck to see them shrink or disappear. That said tho, I'd rather they go extinct than become evil. The latter suddenly seems like a possibility. I sure hope I'm wrong.

Organizing made sense, but I really wanted to see how the spaced repetition worked from one of the examples, and couldn't figure out how to do that. then, I tried making some tests in organization, and I got "Some error occured" with a few options to refresh. However, I couldn't see the space repetition module. The console had the error ReferenceError: "Intercom is not defined"

I like the idea conceptually, but I found it hard to translate the organization to memorization without seeing an example. I think a video or tutorial front and center is really what I want.

The author is the one using "Open Source" in their article, not "open communities" or "open governance". I understand it can be confusing, but let's not change the meaning of already existing terms.
It may be so.

Although, it seems apparent that there were not millions of cases before we started looking, given that hospitals here were not overrun like they were in New York.

About a month ago, I did some poking around with the CDC FluView statistics (in-season estimates of influenza and all-cause-pneumonia deaths)

The conclusion that I came to was an upper bound on undetected COVID cases before 3/1 of 300k.

More than that, and the hospitalization and death rates could not have hidden in the flu and pneumonia data.

300k extra recovered cases, even if they were all in CA, would not be material in terms of new immunity.

Unless the Asia-origin strain we had was much less dangerous than the European-origin strain in NY (in which case more cases might hide in the data) -- but that is a pretty tall set of assumptions.
Sorry meant to say resource rich. Its hard to overstate how few resources japan has at its disposal. This caused their aggression during WWII. China has some resources just far fewer than their population plus they are attempting to export their way to affluence which means they are also producing the world's goods, not just goods for the population of china. China is definitely not resource rich but better off than japan in that way.
Indeed, that is my thought as well. If I worked there I'd want to stay as far away from this guy as possible. Red Hat seems like a pretty big company tho, so probably the average person never interacts with the CEO. But still, the tone gets set at the top, and will filter down.

> We did this with GM in 2008

GM was not allowed to fail and then the government took ownership of the company. That's not all what happened:

On July 10, 2009, following Chapter 11 reorganization after an initial filing on June 8 2009,[25][26] the original General Motors sold assets and some subsidiaries to an entirely new company including the trademark General Motors. Liabilities were left with the original GM freeing the companies of many liabilites resulting in a new GM.

GM emerged from government backed Chapter 11 reorganization after an initial filing on June 8, 2009.[25][26] Through the Troubled Asset Relief Program the US Treasury invested $49.5 billion in General Motors and recovered $39 billion when it sold its shares on December 9, 2013 resulting in a loss of $10.3 billion. The Treasury invested an additional $17.2 billion into GM's former financing company, GMAC (now Ally). The shares in Ally were sold on December 18, 2014 for $19.6 billion netting $2.4 billion.[27][28] A study by the Center for Automotive Research found that the GM bailout saved 1.2 million jobs and preserved $34.9 billion in tax revenue.[29]

Also in 2009 General Motors of Canada Limited was not part of theGeneral Motors Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, the company shed several brands, closing Saturn, Pontiac, and Hummer, while selling Saab Automobile to Dutch automaker Spyker, and emerged from a government-backed Chapter 11 reorganization. In 2010, the reorganized GM made an initial public offering that was one of the world's top five largest IPOs to date, and returned to profitability later that year.[19][30][31]

The government did the same thing its doing now. Investing in companies on a short term basis to prop them up and allow them to continue to operate. Once the economy is stabilized, it will cash out its investment(s) like it did with GM.

What you are advocating for is not at all what occurred with GM.

I found Julia’s macros to be pretty difficult. Unlike lisp’s, it’s not obvious what the (somewhat lisp like) ast of a given piece of code will be. That ast also frequently changed between language versions. It also wasn’t documented when I last checked (ages ago). I recall the parsing rules around quoting were particularly confusing. It also seemed there were multiple valid asts for some expressions which would sometimes be magically canonicalised but maybe I was mistaken about that.

I still think there’s a lot to like about Julia.
There are a multitude of reasons, but I think the biggest ones are (1) the unfamiliar syntax; (2) the fact that Lisp runtimes tend to want all code that interacts with it to also be Lisp instead of focusing on FFI and interoperability; (3) Unix and C were free and so went viral.
I don't think that's true. This is a true supply shock. Nothing fundamentally changed except that there is a "short-term" (1-2 years) issue of workers not being able to work and consumers not being able to get a job.

In contrast, in 2008, we realized things were being criminally propped-up and the economy crashed. Expectations were much higher compared to the actual performance of the economy.

The job of the Fed is to keep companies from going under due to this supply shock. If companies do go under, that means that there WILL be long-term problems with the economy because we're lowering LONG-RUN supply.

The whole point of the fed is to smooth short-run supply shocks so that long-run aggregate supply isn't affected.
