I generally agree with you. However, the main issue with Netflix is that they are cancelling shows without letting them wrap things up. Letting shows die on cliffhangers or when the cast and writers are finally getting into a groove. This does nothing but cause turmoil amongst the fan base and some of Netflix's most dedicated, paying customers.

If they set out from the start to wrap things up in 2-3 seasons and let the writers plan for that, it would be fine. As of right now, they let writers build up massive plots in the first two seasons only to pull out the rug right when things are getting interesting.

Considering how many more people will scan the headline than read the article, it made me uneasy. What's the effect of all those people getting a vaguely pessimistic message about wind power? Did they consider that when they wrote the headline? I guess it's possible they were only thinking about being clever.

Wind power is a bad joke. In my home state, i see the things everywhere, and I know its a giant waste for one reason: steel. There are independent studies that quantify this and prove it, its been in the papers.

The environmental/carbon impact of having a windmill megawatt over existing natural gas production is slim. The carbon cost of refining several dozen tons of steel and metal for the thing, ruins the benefit. The things dont work very well for the cost, and they dont last. They require service all the time. They have a crane to take the generator/transmission out of the whole thing to work on it.

Whenever you consider the total "carbon cost" most of the zero emission green tech falls flat. Hydroelectric, geothermal, and nuclear are still the only commercially feasible zero carbon. Everything else is being subsidized. In place upgrades to existing fossil fuel plants is the best short-term solution. Profitable natural gas, with carbon offset trade (forestry/tree-planting) is the best long-term solution imo.

In your mind, what makes a vaccine special then? After all, vaccines don't tend to work perfectly. You are correct that absent a perfect vaccine we will not be able to perfectly prevent covid without any effort, but you don't explain why that invariably means we can only change distribution of disease outcomes.

What you're saying is like saying "the only way to have no technical debt is to have no code. You have code. I have code. Therefore there is nothing meaningful we can do besides pray for a world in which we don't need code, because stuff like refactoring only moves tech debt around".

Consider two universes in which we both get a vaccine in two years. In one, people get infected at a rate of x. In another, they get infected at a rate of 2x. In neither universe does the x or 2x exceed the number of infectable people. Doesn't one universe have half as many people infected?

The old-school American network way of making (more) money was to run TV shows into the ground so that they had more episodes for syndication. HBO, Netflix, etc do not have that motivation.

I honestly love macros, so I would probably use that feature much more frequently than decorators (if it's even approved, I would expect a lot of macro requests for Python over it's history), but this seems like something that should have done early and instead of all those mechanisms created for metaprogramming already that would now compete for usage (unless they are implicitly deprecated and macros become the "one obvious way of doing"). And will they tempt changes to the already mature interface of so many libraries like flask, django, numpy, pandas, tensorflow 2 making yet another way of doing stuff (since they can't break all past code)?

And in general, non-lisp languages with macros like Elixir even recommend never using them until exhausting all alternatives. Macros always break expectations (if it didn't you wouldn't use them), compose poorly, hard to debug without adequate tools and requires a lot more documentation. Great for removing boilerplate though, which is my main usage.
Other 3rd party apps can sync content for offline playback (eg. Overcast for podcasts) so I don't think there's any technical reason Spotify are not supporting it.

I guess I'm lucky that this particular problem is not one that bothers me much.

My playlists tend to be

a) quite short ~30 songs I listen on repeat until the mood changes and / or work requires a different rhythm and

b) are not that many. Only around 10 in active use at any time. I tend to delete older lists to not clutter "my library"

This leads me to the conclusion that a one time (GDPR) data dump would be sufficient to migrate the data over time.

Since Music is quite fungible, the one benefit Spotify offers over other services is their recommendation engine which is arguably better than the competition.

My personal experience doesn't agree with this. In college I had a habit of waking up with the exact minimum amount of time necessary to get to class. I would throw myself out of bed, get dressed and brush my teeth as quickly as possible, sprint down the stairs, and then race my bike as quickly as I could to class--only to fall back asleep as soon as I was in my chair.

In fairness, I was rather sleep deprived at that time.

If you wanted to, you could use that logic to justify quarantines for as long as influenza and HIV are present in society (they kill people too, and a heavily enforced quarantine would prevent them from spreading). One has to balance the benefits of slowing the spread of a virus against the costs of policy decisions.

Indeed. As a Montana citizen, its been excellent seeing medical marijuana legalization pass through ballot initiatives, and hopefully this year full legalization and regulation.

I think such generalizations are almost always false. Plenty of people oppose Israel for purely political reasons, not because they dislike Jews. Many American racists don't support Trump either - I doubt that for example black supremacists, who are just as racist as their white counterparts, like him very much.
Interestingly, Yahoo Japan remains a dominant force in that particular market. "Yahoo! Japan's web portal is the most visited website in Japan, and its internet services are mostly dominant in the country." [1]. They are the number 2 search engine in terms of marketshare with almost 20% [2] . I kinda think of their unique national presence as a quasi representation of Google + Facebook + Ebay experiences all-in-one.

I worked this out previously and came to the conclusion that electricity production needed to rise more like 50%. it was a while ago, but the vague calculation was something like this:

UK electricity consumption/year: 301.7 TWh

Miles driven per year in UK: 327e9 [1]

Convert into TWh if vehicle is petrol: 470TWh [2]

Electric cars need about a third the energy of petrol vehicles: 160TWh

I see where you're coming from, and this proposed law doesn't seem super useful in isolation. But consider:

1. Publishing the same data over OBD-2 ends up being an afterthought. Without even looking at the specifics, I guarantee that there is data transmitted through telemetry that is not output through OBD-2. That's just how embedded development works - focus on making the main feature work, then forget about the rest. It seems quite hard to apply the law to the details of a technical system ("Sorry, when developing we didn't consider that type of data necessary for repairing the car, even though we are using it to diagnose. Anyway we'll fix it in the model year after next"). Whereas it's straightforward to say that no matter how many different interfaces automakers develop, independent auto repair has to be able to access all of them.

2. If we're concerned with privacy (and we should be), then we need an orthogonal privacy law that prohibits automakers from backhauling this information without consent, and selling this information without consent (eg to insurance companies). Letting them unilaterally collect and only make it accessible to their dealers, practically guarantees a terrible security implementation - something like one master login for each "trusted" dealer, that can access any car's data by VIN. Mandating access for third parties will actually result in the attack surface being properly designed and audited.

3. Once you're taking the privacy hit, then there is a stored history that won't be available over OBD-2. Imagine going to a repair shop and they tell you to borrow a dongle and drive around for two weeks, where a dealer can help you immediately. This ties into data ownership, in that you should be able to retrieve your own records.

4. Imagine a hypothetical service that keeps tabs on your car's metrics and alerts you to developing conditions. With mandated access, this can be done as a simple web service. Without that, you'll need a separate dongle, probably specific to your car if things advance beyond OBD-2. I'd personally rather have a dongle and a local service that I control (coupled with a privacy law or pulling the cell modem), but unfortunately that's not how the consumer market works.

I'd like to agree that it's all well and good on this front in the EU, but recent developments like Brexit and the rise of identity politics stand as strong counter-arguments.
Where do you think wind turbines are currently manufactured? Sure, off-shore makes many of the transportation issues much easier, but final on-site assembly is pretty streamlined already no matter what site category.
As someone far left of the mainstream political spectrum, there have been more than a few times when I was annoyed by what felt like pandering to "liberal" and pc ideas in netflix shows. Overly overt, unnecessary, "tell me don't show me" themes about how women are strong or whatever. Or a villain whose primary purpose is to make you think of Trump.

That space force comedy with Steve Carell comes to mind

I don't think it's a political agenda. I think a sizeable portion of people just like seeing this stuff that affirms their beliefs or gives them an example to point to. Conservative leaning stuff does it too, and it's even more annoying when you disagree with its themes. I recall Logan Lucky (movie) was an especially aggravating example of this on the conservative side.

Show HN: Cloak – disable search history suggestions in Chrome
True. No disagreement. I'm not writing anyone off.

Both are true at once though. There is such a thing as "cultural centre of gravity." Ignoring what and why so much of society is outside of that is elitist by definition.

I'm not saying that it is good that yahoo comments was (despite being large) was largely invisible and ignored. I'm just acknowledging that it was. That may be a terrible thing about society, but it still is.

HN case in point. If a good sized reddit getting shut down for whatever reason, HN would know about it. Yahoo comments (which was massive) got shut down, and it didn't even crossed our consciousness. Bloggers didn't blog about it. etc.

This is the definition of cultural visibility (relevance is more emotive, but harder to define). We don't see much of it. That's demographic. If Trump, Taylor Swift & Elon Musk or even people they know were reading Yahoo comments, the cultural cache would be more like Twitter's.

BTW, the thing I'm describing exists whether or not it maps to social or political demographics. Yahoo mail was irrelevant long before gmail actually passed them. Cool, in the know people were on gmail. Your auntie was on yahoo or hotmail.

It took a while for gay marriage to become broadly accepted. Trans is fighting the same battle now. He's a very typical older cismale and this population segment is, by and large, just not going to "get it" yet.
No surprise there. It is very common for startups or small to mid-sized companies to start a blog as a companion for their product, with articles of the schema "Very broad description of some common problem/need, followed by very specific guides - often times even step-by-step - on how to use their product to deal with said problem/need."

It widens the spectrum of keywords that they can be found with a lot and thereby increases traffic to their main page and product.

> I'm sure there are more but they all circle around a common theme. Loss of trust.

Users failing to recommend shows on your platform to possible new users because they were canceled without a resolution. “The OA” is perfect example. Netflix won’t make another dime off that show because anyone that has seen it will adamantly steer people away and anyone that googles it and sees it was canceled on a cliffhanger will have zero interest.

Shows don’t need to run forever, but they need to finish them. If that is 1 season, fine. If that is 6 seasons and a movie, great. But I’m not interested in a show that just stops airing without an ending, just like I’m not interested in reading a book where the publisher just stopped printing chapters at some random point.
I totally agree with you. I feel as if netflix doesn't press their writers and the creatives enough to develop a full arc for a story.

It seems like every shows' got an idea. And then once they get funding they start thinking through the details. I know it would be a lot of ask and probably expensive but people write novels all the time. Netflix could break the mold by looking for stories that fit something like 24 chapters / episodes and having a complete 'thing' at the end of it. The could then have the arc of the story to work with and just produce three seasons of content to spread the risk.
It's definitely a meme, but that doesn't mean it isn't useful in the sense you describe.
>It was great for the writer that got published, but not so great for countless others who couldn't get a break and couldn't get into the vaunted 'club' of gatekeeping published writers.

It was also great for readers, because there was a realistic expectation that if something was in print it was at worst competent and at best outstanding. Not so much now.

>Democratization of culture and media means that it will be much harder for most (except for the tiny few) from making any sort of living from it.

Democratization of culture means that culture becomes confused with entertainment. They're actually not identical.

IG, YT, and the rest are now purely about marketing strategies. The content - which used to have to speak for itself - is now secondary to bikini ass shots and other eyeball acquisition systems.

There is something rather weird and culty about this. It's almost as if everyone who produces content is being forced to participate in a competitive reality TV show where they Market Their Brand Really Hard™ - and the content is increasingly irrelevant.

>Every single series that Netflix invests means they have to pass on countless others.

Then they need to start monitoring their pilots more effectively, and also spend a little more on up-front development so that the shows that make it out of the slush pile have some prospect of getting to the end of a natural arc.

This is the paradox that most people don't seem to understand. NF claims to be data driven, and supposedly it's economically pragmatic to cut off shows early.

It isn't at all. It's actually unbelievably inefficient, economically and also in terms of customer loyalty.

The efficient solution is to produce consistently great content. This pays off over the long-haul - because a successful series can keep generating significant income for decades.
My hierarchy goes: None > Real > Fake > Mock

The best solution doesn't need anything, e.g. if we have calls to our persistence layer mixed in with calculations, the latter shouldn't be tested with fakes/mocks; instead we should refactor the code so the calculations don't depend on the persistence layer.

If the behaviour of some code depends inextricably on some external system, then our tests should use that system. This avoids unnecessary code/work/duplication, allows tests to exercise more paths through our codebase, exposes problems in our understanding of that system, etc.

If calling an external system in our tests is dangerous, unacceptably slow, costly (if it's some Web service), etc. then we should make a fake implementation to test against. If our code only uses a small part of some large, complicated dependency, we might want to define an interface for the subset that we need, refactor our code to use that, and only have our fake implement that part.

If a fake implementation isn't practical, or would require so much overriding per-test as to be useless on its own, then I might consider using mocks. I would seriously consider whether that code could be refactored to avoid such coupling. I would also never make assertions about irrelevant details, like whether a particular method was called, or what order things are run in.

That's a valid point. But isn't it a bit archaic to have the thing begged for as a direct object? Wouldn't it be more normal to say `beg for the question'?
So you're complaining about shows that shouldn't have lasted beyond season 8, and holding up as a good example a show that ran 5 seasons, while the article is about Netflix canceling shows after one or two seasons.

Seems like there's a gap there.
