I love Amazon, but refuse to buy supplements from them at this point. Fraud via co-mingling is real, and I’d rather burn down my house from a crappy wire than ingest powder from an unvetted source.

I went back to the old brick and mortar for my protein powder (though I’d also be willing to buy online from non-marketplace sources that take ownership of the supply chain).

Again, I love Amazon. But if they refuse to take responsibility for whatever arrives at my house no way is it going into my mouth...
Actually no, due to Android.

> Question - why couldn't they publish on app store instead?

Apple doesn't allow apps that do the same thing as features they release / plan to release.

Flux became popular, Apple ripped it off, and blocked them from competing in the App Store. Just another data point for the antitrust lawsuit.

> Epic expressly snuck code through the door to activate a user-visible feature in direct prohibition to App Store rules

That's not even the case here.

Epic built an app using webviews and the web part of the view is loaded from a remote server controlled by Epic.

Which is the most common way to build multiplatform apps nowadays.

Epic simply updated the web part on the remote server.

Which also proves Apple can't even provide the basic safety they are promoting to push notarization.

Unless they ban webviews completely, we will never know how many apps are already doing it exploiting the less tech savy users, but still bringing profit to Apple.
People think physical media has much higher costs than it does. Don't know about movies, but about $2 of a hardcover book costs are associated with printing and distribution--and that has far less infrastructure associated with the digital version.

Netflix has never had a great streaming movie catalog. As a senior Netflix exec told me, "people come for the movies and they stay for the TV." So, to the degree Netflix streaming ever claimed to be about having all the films, it was always something of a bait and switch.

Theoretically, a fairly good subscription video catalog plus live TV is probably possible. But as I said elsewhere, it would probably be more like > $200/month than $20. Recreating the cable bundle streaming is already pushing north of $100.
Yes, and I built a very simple one in law school, to illustrate the concept (well to be honest I was an engineer who went to law school as a hobby, and then I took every excuse I could find to build technology things as a hobby within a hobby). Anyway it was just a multimeter, some washers soldered to copper wire and some tape to keep the washers in their place on the subject's hands. When people didn't try to game it, it actually sort of worked, although I have no proof of statistical significance; I just had a feeling of 'better than random'. (our experiments were more focused on how to ask questions to elicit the highest response, as questioning with a polygraph requires some skill at asking questions that are leading or not, and in just the right ways).

Conclusion is still that it's nowhere near reliable enough to be used for anything, but the principle that people show physiological responses when answering truthfully or not about things is sort of true (I don't think that was ever under debate, still was a fun experiment).
So how exactly are they tracking people? wifi/bluetooth? facial/gait recognition?
I can't speak for the Rust devs, but as far as I'm aware, the longterm plan is to have more stuff in std, but only once they're fairly certain they have the right design. Async/await is a good example. The Rust community explored the design space for async runtimes for several years before they felt comfortable settling on a design for the initial pieces of std.

The process is definitely frustratingly slow, but going faster has burned the Rust devs already in the past (just look at how much stuff in std::error::Error is deprecated).

You can pay for good reviews, but legitimate complaints might be removed.
It's true, however that didn't matter much in the USSR. What mattered is that somebody got punished, paperwork was taken care of and the agents were doing their jobs. All of this is nicely illustrated in the Citizen X movie, although in a different context.

Yep, this helps for me too. I sign off my work laptop between 5-6pm and don't get any notifications on my other devices.
I find it amusing how my attitude toward writing reviews changed. Early on I used to feel that we, the little people, can use the Internet for good, band together, and share information about products to "stick it to the man." Nowadays, I feel writing reviews is ironically only helping the richest man in the world and now actively avoid it.

Sites like Amazon need the review layer to substitute the physical contact of brick and mortar that they removed. Pretty common story by now - instead of paying employees in stores, they crowd source the value for free, and we're happy to go along since we get lower prices in the bargain.
Naturally, Google is pushing it down our throats, providing minimal compatibility with Java language features post Java 8 and zero JVM capabilities regarding modules or newer bytecodes.

Chrome doesn’t support H.265 by-design, even if it’s host OS supports it, because Google is trying hard to encourage people to use the (purportedly) patent unencumbered WebM format and codec instead.

H.265 is Microsoft + Apple.

WebM is Google and Firefox.

I wouldn’t call Whitman and Katzenberg “unusual”. Katzenberg, by all accounts, is stereotypical power-Hollywood. Whitman is an average tech ceo. Their coupling might be a bit unusual, but it makes sense in from an “opposites attract / complement” point of view.

I do agree that 8-minute video-chunks are silly, that’s youtube territory and people are not going to pay for that as long as YT is free.

If you have regular (daily, hourly) tape backups that are shipped off-site then you greatly mitigate the potential damage of software bugs. It sounds like they weren’t making backups and just treating failover replica servers as a “backup” (which they clearly aren’t).

Polygraphs as a power play - well, I'm sure it happens but that probably isn't the reason it is in the room. Maybe the polygraph is a ruse to make people think FBI questioners are stupider than they really are? I can see value in having a distraction from the actual questions.

"Have you ever faced a Yes Man? What was your experience?"
Considering the number of large, established places that don't even do code reviews - I'm okay with this being a thing.
I think considering TikTok a threat to hollywood, or a sign of diminishing relevance is naive... disingenuous even.

The medium, art and distribution methods shift. This isn't the first time. Television encroached on film. VHS. Cable. DVD box sets. Home cinema. The rise of the cinematic series.

Shifts sometimes hurt, they may even have some casualties.... but this is not dying. Hollywood, and old media generally, are in much better shape than I had expected.

Remember "information wants to be free?" Remember the initial response to ipod? The scoffs around early DRM? Disintermediation? The end of record labels? None of this came to pass.

The true economics of "content" is centralisation, exclusivity and manufactured scarcity. Tiktok (youtube moreso) demonstrates the point. It doesn't matter that you have millions of viewers. That doesn't translate into money, power or value. 0.1% of the viewership is not worth 0.1% of the money. It doesn't divide. Centralisation itself is where the value is. Content is not a "sum of parts" game.

For success, you need centralisation & control. Theatres, PPV services, cable deals, streaming services... This is why spotify is buying the top podcasts, to exclude them from itunes & youtube.

Porn is the counterexample. As a pariah, it had no ability to affect DRM, Copyright, other legal frameworks and the details of how they will be implemented.

When online payments started working, Porn had its "DVD Boom." When streaming started working, the industry collapsed again. That's what a free media market looks like. Extremely high volatility.

The record industry & hollywood have never dealt with this kind of thing. Never will, probably.

The main thing shaking up hollywood is that they're being introduced to startup/tech economics. Market caps. Short term equity plays. This takes some getting used to, but the structure is as secure as ever. They're just learning that just because investors have valued something @ $Xbn doesn't mean it will make $Xbn.
I think that:

> If it looks to good to be true, it probably is.

Is more appropriate here.

Finding a $20 on the street falls within the realm of reason, and is not likely a scam. Finding a suitcase full of cash however, and picking it up probably has strings attached.

You need a commute. It can't be a physical "get in a car and drive to work" type of commute for obvious reasons, and so you need another way to signal to your brain "Hey, you're now getting away from the working process."

It can be as simple as walking away from the computer for at least 30 minutes. Turn off your phone, tablet, monitors, and what not. Don't sit down and watch TV. Give your brain time to make the transition.

I've been WFH since 2011- and at first it was a disaster for similar reasons. Once I set a routine that meant walking away from the computer for a while, I could come back and my brain had shifted gears a bit, and I could go on with my day.

For me it's as simple as getting off work and making a meal, then sitting down and watching TV after I made the meal, and in a different room than my computer.

Podcast about the Rise and Fall of Companies
This sounds to me like the classic “replication is not backups” situation where (at best) all of the user files were stored in RAID array someplace and that is what the malware ate. If there had been actual backups and effective backups then it should have been trivial to restore non-corrupted files. It also sounds like someone made the decision not to backup the raw images because they were “big” - that is actually the one thing they should have backed up because all of the smaller files can be regenerated from the raw ones. I would not be surprised if all of this was running under someone’s desk.

The author of this, who I know a little, maintains what I think is one of the most important pieces of code nobody ever talks about; JOD[0]. It's an idea that I guess used to be common in the APL world: code database. I've used it a little, and plan on using it more and hopefully exposing it to popular acclaim. At base, you can think of it as a fairly different way of dealing with namespaces in a word-based language (J also has very powerful namespaces, but I assume the ideas behind JOD predate those), but it ends up being more powerful than that.

He's also right about Numpy. FWIIW Wes McKinney was also inspired by J when he wrote Pandas and Arrow.

> Why would you have to import money? You can have your own currency within the city.

Money is a placeholder for value, not just paper. Like the "free energy machine" that's plugged into the wall socket: the power that flows from the wall socket is what drives it.

> The premise of UBI is that it creates a more productive society. If there is no possibility to be self-sustained, why implement it?

There is a possibility, there's a possibility for humans evolving telepathy. It's just not a certainty, and the probability isn't too high. But it's easy to test: get a bunch of people together that believe in it, make an agreement to pool some amount of resources and then pay out a UBI to each person. If it raises productivity, it's a big win for anyone involved.

If "free grain" is a "UBI society", then we're far beyond UBI already. In most of Europe, you'll receive an apartment, food, clothes, utilities, transportation, tv etc. That's 2020 reality. As far as I understand, the point of UBI is to go beyond that because these basics are seen as limiting.

> With UBI, people stop worrying.

Primarily, they stop working. We already have too many who are quite alright with the welfare they receive and prefer not to work. I really don't want to expand the number, because it just increases the work load for the rest.
