The studio system is shut down and blockbusters aren't coming back. Movies are going straight to streaming. Disney and Warner are doing far-reaching reorgs to see to it. Look also at directors like Nolan and Villeneuve complaining - they know their familiar way of life is coming to an end, and they're struggling to cope with the new reality.

Low-budget is something we'll get schooled on. International studios are just as good as we are.

China owns a number of US studios outright, and they also own a lot of the tooling (eg 40% of Epic Games, which is being used for Star Wars). They're cultivating our tech and using it themselves.

Most of the deep fake research amenable to use in films is coming out of China.

I'm not saying it's a sure thing, but China is in a very good position to attempt a takeover of the movie market if they want to.

Middle class warehouse career?

They framed it that way in their communication about it, but in practice they fired her:

"Most state unemployment agencies consider a separation to be a voluntary quit (initiated by the employee) if the last day of work is within two weeks of the resignation date. So, if an employee gives two weeks’ notice and the employer accepts it immediately, the individual probably won’t be eligible for unemployment.

However, if an employee gave two months’ notice and the employer accepted it immediately, the former employee may be eligible for unemployment."
That was a really fun read, I would like to know more about the RTX/DLSS influence on the game and how much of it just layers on top versus being fundamentally different ways of building a game.

One thing I feel it does in Cyberpunk is adds a layer of lighting correctness that really sells the environment. Sometimes it doesn't look perfect but it always feels correct and closer to true to life.

I have long held that lighting more than textures was the missing realism in games, and if you have ever played retraced minecraft I think you get what I mean. Even the pixelated textures and block world of minecraft feel like a real world when rendered with correct lighting.
I would like to see people defend literally anything else on this site like they're defending Russia, here.

That is indeed ironic, although in my defense all of my flights are going to be on 737/A320 sized aircraft. I can't remember the last time I flew on a wide bodied aircraft, and I'm not likely to do it again soon.

My issue is mostly that everything that comes out of Boeing makes me feel like they're more worried about suing them than them hurting me or killing me. Maybe Airbus isn't much better, but it sure seems hard for Boeing to get much worse.

The reason flying was easier 10-15 years ago was because passenger loads increased by 50% while airlines seat capacity remained at 2005 levels.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/564717/airline-industry-...

Airlines learned from previous mistakes and basically would not add any capacity until load factors were incredibly high and they knew they could easily fill another flight. Very rarely would someone get bumped 10 plus years ago but in the last few years it was common practice. The planes were stuffed full where even the very back rows typically left open for flight attendants were filled.

I used to take at least one trip every week for 20 years and it wasn't so bad. After 911 it became worse but the flight was still ok. The last 3-4 years have been absolutely terrible. Even 1st/Business class was a joke and always oversold. I developed anxiety every time I had to fly simply because of the nightmare of getting through the lines (TSA/Customs/DHS), fighting the crowds, no where to even sit, dirty planes, etc. Flying became like riding in a cattle car.

I still fly about once a month and ever since the pandemic it's a lot more pleasant. My last flight had over 100 empty seats and absolutely no lines or people at the airport. Reminded my of a flight I once took to YYZ from DFW on a 727 in 91. I and two more guys were the only passengers on the whole plane, 2 in coach and the other in 1st. Three of us on the whole plane. Felt like a Rock Star on my own private jet....

I'm confident that flying will become miserable again. In another year I expect everything will be back to shit/normal.
Don't forget that you can self host as well. That, for some use cases, is a simply killer feature.
I gotta say, I laughed out loud at your "hours to save $3."

Its honestly the exact response I expect from people who eat at Chipotle.

Even if we assume you never go to the grocery store, making a specific trip to the grocery store instead of Chipotle can likely be assumed to take the same amount of traveling time. And next time you go to Chipotle, think for a moment the complexity of the ingredients your getting. Rice? It's rice. Black beans? You could buy them canned, you won't taste the difference in a bowl. Salsa? You can just buy salsa, it's a dollar or so and lasts ages in the fridge. Cheese is cheese. Lettuce is lettuce. Now all that's left is cooking some chicken breast, your choice how to do it.

If it takes you hours to cook chicken... I don't know how to help you. Perhaps Google how to bake chicken, how to pan fry chicken, how to cook chicken in an instant pot. Literally anything.

I hear a lot of fear that the US may no longer be on top, from which I assume you are an American. The good news is that Americans (as individual humans) may be better off when America is no longer an empire.

The British empire was good for the rulers and owners of the companies integrated into it, but not for the average brit.

>Levi jeans today are low quality compared to a few decades ago but they aren’t any cheaper.

A simple search contradicts your claim: nytimes says: "A pair of Levi's 501 jeans cost $50 in 1998, and $46 in 2008"[1]

>Same thing with colleges. Low wage adjuncts as far as the eye can see, but higher education has never been more expensive.

The problem here are price insensitive consumers given tons of free money by the government (in the form of guaranteed student loans, regardless of ability to pay back). If you were given the gift of one free TV of your choice (valued up to $2000), your purchasing decision would be very different than if you were simply given $2000 in cash.

Again, that works if you assume that you won't fail at any point and/or react poorly to failure. But you will fail at some point, and very few people are determined enough to continue. Investing yourself creates risk.

It is far more effective to take a less judgemental approach, track the things that matter, and do it for yourself...not because you don't want to be shamed (most fat people get a rough ride, shame isn't a long term strategy).

Exactly - Apple never said "we weren't hacked, 100% sure". They said, that all the data they have shows no evidence, plus pointed out some BS in the story.
Right? Like how could you make this many bad calls to get your game to the point that one of the main platform holders has yanked the game off the store and issue refunds. CDPR rushed it out the door to get that end of fiscal year revenue (unless I'm mistaken) and satisfy impatient investors, only to lose a lot of good will with their fan base, miss out on game of the year awards and recognition, and to be a meme generator for people to poke fun at the game. Yikes, that's a series of unfortunate events and some really bad management. Someone should get the chop over there.

In the two years pre pandemic I had to do a ton of business travel. I could expense whatever I needed, fly biz class for international. It still started to wear on me. I think it's just getting older. It's more emotional effort to be away from home. I started feeling some anxiety just about being trapped in a flying tube and not being able to leave. Also because seats are narrower and I'm wider.
That was the standout part of the manual for me.

I wouldn't say "designed to avoid this problem", because I'm pretty sure that cabin air quality didn't play much of a role in the engineering trades regarding ECS architecture.

The 787 was intended as a more electric aircraft, from the very start, even called the "7E7" during development. An electrical ECS requires special cabin air compressors with big motor drives and power electronics, but there was significant savings for the engines by removing bleed air. It makes sense as a system: Electrical main engine start, generator-optimized engines/APU, electrical cabin air compressors. But the trade criteria were the typical ones: weight, installation volume, total lifecycle cost, etc.

The choice of a lower cabin altitude _was_ a big deal though, and if I had to guess, is the main source of a more pleasant experience.

The main ECS vendors (Honeywell, Hamilton Sundstrand, and Liebherr) all have cabin air quality products, which have mostly gone without interest by the aircraft manufactures and the airlines.
Working offline is actually quite important. The download size is over 4 GB for the combo updater, even just for a point release. In this case, the Internet connection was fast enough, but in many places in the world it would take hours longer to download that (10 MBps at my parents' house, 250 KBps in Kiribati where I travelled last year).

It's also good to not need to connect to the App Store, with all the 2FA involved. That would associate my Apple account with that computer, and save my password in the keychain.

Oops your launch codes have been encrypted!

What Happened to My Nuclear Deterrent?
Your abort codes are encrypted and your nuclear arsenal has been placed at DEFCON level 1.

Many of your ICBMs, submarines, launch silos, bombers and other facilities are no longer accessible because their communication channels have been encrypted. Maybe you are busy looking for a way to cancel the launch, but do not waste your time. Nobody can recover your abort codes without our decryption service.

Can I prevent thermonuclear war?
We guarantee that you can recover all your nukes safely and easily. But you don't have enough time.
If you do not pay within 7 days, you will not be able to recover from nuclear winter forever.

The thing is, you don't have to stare at the rice as it's cooking.

Unless you live on top of Chipotle it's very likely the time actually invested cooking will be less than traveling to Chipotle and coming home again.

And beyond that, your simply overpaying for a meal that can be made at home. It's a waste of money, you can save it and waste it on something else you couldn't just make at home.
Frying (and cooking in general) is absolutely a type of processing. It generally degrades a food's micro-nutrient content to at least some extent (chemical breakdown of vitamins due to the high temperature, and leaching of nutrients in the case of boiling).

That's not to say we shouldn't cook our food (and in some cases cooking can make food more nutritious by destroying anti-nutrients like phytic acid), but we should be aware of how the cooking time, temperature, and method affect nutrient content. Boiled vegetables are generally going to be less nutritious than steamed vegetables, for example.

And of course, frying tends to use industrially produced oils which are highly processed. Oily foods like avocados that you find in nature are going to have some fiber and other nutrients; the process of removing all that to produce pure oil is a form of processing.
I'll say that this is less an issue with amazon and more an issue with the overall culture. Anecdotally, I've noticed a move from score based metrics to binary like/dislike based metrics. Thus, reviews also take a binary 5 star: I loved it. or 1 star: I didn't approach.

> You know what else comes out of the pocket of the consumer? Paying for government assistance for people employed full time by a company.

I think you mean "taxpayer"

> In other words, Amazon is costing you, the taxpayer, money by not paying their workers a living wage.

Imagine how much assistance they would need if they didn't have jobs.

> living wage.

what constitutes a "living wage" is dependent on the cost of consumer goods which is in turn dependent on the cost of labor. You're not going to escape the fact that some people's labor isn't worth enough to earn them the standard of living that you or they would prefer by wishful thinking or statutory fiat. You can, however, limit their options and distort the market in a vicious circle of economically ignorant mandates.

The price improvement per share also sometimes comes from exchange rebates that they pass through to customers.

It's extremely time consuming. It takes hours to properly cook meals for an entire family. That's time I'd rather spend doing something else since I don't really enjoy the process of cooking itself. There's also the time required to prepare the dining room, clean the dishes, shop for ingredients and supplies and more incredibly boring tasks that I'm probably forgetting. Doing this every single day is just so tiresome!

Of course people would rather open an app and order some delicious fast food which arrives in about 20 minutes. It's not healthy but it wastes less time.
Standards like OpenDocument are expected to have multiple independent implementations. I'm not sure such a thing is feasible with SQLite (this is why WebSQL was rejected).
