This is the dilemma for a company like Facebook or Google who make their money from the ability to generate and sell hyper-focused marketing profiles: "Stop the steal" was VERY POPULAR and the people most likely to visit such content on Facebook were also likely to buy flags and hats and mugs and.... and Facebook would be leaving a TON of money on the table to shut that all down, something their shareholders might not appreciate regardless of their politics. At the end of the it ain't about blue or red, it's about GREEN.

I can assure you that legal teams in studios are just as aware as those in the tech field, even with the (for the most part) distinct lack of apparent software distribution.

Even if it's just for internal consumption, legal likes to know what's going on and where it might impact them later.

However, the GPL and other copyleft software will not for the most part have much of an effect on studios unless they sharing some of their IP they've created with the broader community, partners, and/or proprietary software vendors.

I am seeing your point. You say that there needs to be a comparison between at least two hypotheses and then the Razor will help us choose one if it's simpler than the other.

There are many competing hypotheses to choose from in this case. They include all the hypotheses that assume there was a third person in the car; and all the hypotheses that do not assume there was a third person in the car. Any hypothesis that does not assume there was a third person in the car is "simplER" than any hypothesis that assumes there was a third person in the car. Assuming there was a third person in the car is to multiply entities beyond necessity, i.e. as you say "unnecessarily".

You can check my comments in this thread to verify that I've said this many times. The comments that wonder about what "entity" means are yours, not mine.

Same. `a and b or c` reads nicer than `a && b || c` to me.

Battery swaps are incredibly costly for the company - those units generally cost more than 10k - sometimes as high as 20k. Given that they are the majority of the cost of the vehicle it's not a great business proposition for manufacturers to offer to replace a battery for anything less than the majority of the cost of a new vehicle which consumers simply won't go for.
Non-cloud:

HPE sells their Apollo 4000[^1] line, which takes 60x3.5" drives - with 16TB drives, that's 960TB each machine, one rack of 10 of these is 9PB+ therefore, which nearly covers your 10PB needs. (We have some racks like this). They are not cheap. (Note: Quanta makes servers that can take 108x3.5" drive, but they need special deep racks.)

The problem here would be the "filesystem" (read: the distributed service): I don't have much experience with Ceph, and ZFS across multiple machines is nasty as far as I'm aware, but I could be wrong. HDFS would work, but the latency can be completely random there.

[^1]: https://www.hpe.com/uk/en/storage/apollo-4000.html

So unless you are desperate to save money in the long run, stick to the cloud, and let someone else sweat about the filesystem level issues :)

EDIT: btw, we let the dead drives "rot": replacing them would cost more, and the failure rate is not that bad, so they stay in the machine, and we disable them in fstabs, configs, etc.

EDIT2: at 10PB HDFS would be happy; buy 3 racks of those apollos, and you're done. We started struggling at 1000+ nodes first; now, with 2400 nodes, nearly 250PB raw capacity, and literally a billion filesystem objects, we are slow as f*, so plan carefully.
...that’s what I’m saying.
> I think the internet is just different. Content creation has become something people do in pursuit of profit rather than something they do out of interest or just the lulz.

This is something I've been kind of depressed about lately. I grew up with the internet of the early 2000s, through the blog boom and the early days of YouTube. I used RSS, and was into things like Creative Commons and GPL. Free culture stuff. We had a wealth of cool things that people were making just because they wanted to, and crass commercial motive was hardly something that crossed peoples' mind. Just as app stores killed free web games (far more than the demise of Flash), the growing commercialization of the Web has eroded the wonderful mashup culture that permeated it.

I've been thinking about it a bit lately because I got turned onto actually listening to Hatsune Miku music, and it's a terrific example of what once was: remixing, memetic evolution and building something bigger collaboratively. (Miku has been vaguely on my radar all along, but I never bothered to give the stuff a fair chance until I realized a Wagakki Band song I liked was a cover of one of the most popular vocaloid songs, Senbonzakura.)

* The Leakspin meme was a thing in the early 2000s, combining the Finnish folk song Ievan Polkka with a random anime clip. That was all over the place back then, and I wasn't even a 4chan user.

* Some guy in Japan used the relatively new synth voice bank VC01 Hatsune Miku to release a sort of cover of Ievan Polkka, including a silly redrawing of the box art, which blew up on the Japanese streaming site Niconico and later made it onto YouTube. Which has lead to the character being associated with leaks/spring onions. [1]

* Someone else made the song "Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya" with the same voice, which was later covered with another synth voice and then paired with a now famous animation of a pop tart cat. [2]

* The growing "memetic velocity" surrounding a character derived from a synth voice and the anime art on the box it came in resulted in an absolutely fascinating music scene where synth artists bill themselves as producers and give a performance credit to the synth, releasing their amateur music for free on video sites (and sometimes getting album deals as they grew in popularity). And eventually you get a worldwide phenomenon with global tours of a hologram performing with a live band, drawing from thousands of songs and visual artwork created by whoever wants to contribute. A "wiki celebrity," so to speak.

Kind of random, I guess, but reading up on how that all connects (and was going on in the background of related memes that I was aware of) has kind of restored my faith in the Internet. I think that if you get enough creative people together, you're going to end up with some cool stuff. The question remains, though...would it happen today? (And if not, what do we need to torch to fix it?)

What do you do when the show you want to watch is not on there? What do you do when it's a Hulu Exclusive? Or a Netflix show?

You know what I do? Search for 'movie/show name' + 'torrent' and I pull down the rip at 10MB/sec, and have it in a few minutes. Faster than signing up for another service, installing the app on all of my devices, connecting that app up to my account, adding my credit card, then paying for it. Then having to discontinue that subscription later when I decide there's nothing else on that service I want to watch. Then you realize, you paid for 1 month of service, just to watch one show... ridiculous.

Streaming is only convenient when you are already subscribed to the service. Otherwise piracy is much easier. Plus I don't get my fucking videos downsampled to 720p because I choose to watch in a web browser on a Linux box.
> But crematoriums are seeing 10-20x body bags.

What's the source for this data?

Cases are underreported, but deaths to a lesser extent. While the situation is bad, it isn't helpful to throw random numbers around.
> A bug is something unintentional. I guess you don't carry any cash or drive a car either, since 'anyone can take it and you have zero recourse'.

Yes, I literally do not carry cash, not more than $20, for exactly that reason. And neither does anyone else I know of not actively involved in a drug deal.

I do not however see why you mentioned a car, that's a tool, not a store of value. I don't transact car.

> Stealing cryptocurrency is still illegal.

Code is law. It's not stealing if you take it from a smart contract. Like a DAO. I'm sure the illegality of their actions is of big consolation to every Turkish person right now. I hear there was an exit scam.

> It may not be what you want, but if you need to send money electronically to another person somewhere else in the world you might think differently.

It's not what anyone wants. That's why Visa offers chargebacks and all issuers have fraud departments.

Let me ask you this: when was the last time you heard any customer gripe at the merchant, "man, I really really wish I couldn't charge you back in the event this product isn't as advertised and you refuse to help me out -- what a nightmare!" Chargebacks are the reason e-commerce is even a thing. The only way people trusted websites to pay for stuff is safe in the knowledge if shit hit the fan they had someone to sort it out.

> If you live in a country with hyperinflation or banking controls it could be the separation between two very different lifestyles. I can guess ahead of time that you will move the goal posts here from 'no one wants it' to 'I don't see people doing that'.

Do people in hyperinflationary countries use it? No, because they don't want their currency to drop 30% overnight like BTC did this week. That's just as bad if not worse than their home currency. Worse, in the sense it comes with a $50 transaction fee, which is a months salary in a lot of these places.

Not to mention the value of the crypto assets these Turks held dropped to 0 the second their bank fled to Thailand with them.

> The reverse - being able to use money electronically, peer to peer, without a third party, is not something the modern banking system has given anyone yet.

And yet it works great. Almost like it's not something people need. Or want! Because intermediaries add value. That's why we pay them.

COBOL, Fortran and Lisp are fairly widely supported still. Getting them to mesh with Python may not be trivial, but it should be possible. I believe all of them have implementations which provide C-style foreign interfaces.

Aside from those, Pascal, APL, PL/I are still going. Algol 60 and Algol 68 were widely implemented and even have implementations today, but rarely actually used, then or now. Thinking outside the box, Forth, Smalltalk and ML are all charming in their way.

I would play to the strengths of the languages. COBOL? Formatted pretty text output. Fortran or APL? Number crunching on arrays. Lisp or ML? A parser.
Unfortunately, I do. I am very tall with bad knees and while some sedans fit me fine, getting in and out of them is excruciating.

> It is for want of self-culture that the superstition of Traveling, whose idols are Italy, England, Egypt, retains its fascination for all educated Americans. They who made England, Italy, or Greece venerable in the imagination did so by sticking fast where they were, like an axis of the earth. In manly hours, we feel that duty is our place. The soul is no traveler; the wise man stays at home, and when his necessities, his duties, on any occasion call him from his house, or into foreign lands, he is at home still; and shall make men sensible by the expression of his countenance, that he goes the missionary of wisdom and virtue, and visits cities and men like a sovereign, and not like an interloper or a valet.

I've posted this before, from Emerson's self-reliance. It is describing geographical roots but the human want for short-term novelty at the cost of building on something more familiar is applicable to all sorts of aspects of life. Moderation is key, and so in circles (like mine) where people crave new experiences rootlessness seems much more common an issue than provincialism.
Complacency. As a German it pains to see me how we went weeks with knowing that the numbers won't get better but not doing anything against it (the same in November or whenever the last time was). There was no strategy behind it (expect maybe the hope that the way-too-slow vaccination program would somehow keep it at bay). There's one thing for sure though: If we still would be fighting the same string as last year then Germany would have very very good numbers. But we are not, we are fighting especially against the Kent variant (with now i think over 90% of cases in Germany accounting for it).

Isn't that the distinction though? A rental has a clear end date, enforced by Apple. A purchase does not, it can merely disappear from Apple's catalogue at some point, due to licensing issues. Apple has no idea how long that thing will be around, so they can't really quote a date your "purchase" ends.

I struggle to see how an electric car added four hours to a 250 mile trip. Unless you are counting both ways maybe? Even then, a 250 mile range EV would need one or two charging stops. Fast charging could just be 2-3 hours for both stops. At most.

Exactly. I think it should be default deny for native apps too. But there are a few websites and apps where the notifications are useful.
That's what I remember from comp.lang.c -- lawyer-ly obsession with ANSI C, rather than C as it's being used. That is an important distinction which I respect, but they should have had some kind of sister forum that's more practical. They denied that hardware exists, etc.

Also, obsession with ANSI C, analogous to obsession with POSIX shell, is sort of "middlebrow" in the sense that the people who WRITE the spec need to go outside of it to create a new version of it. Good specs are derived from real usage.

Toyota was one of the leaders in just-in-time manufacturing, yet they're doing just fine with the chip shortage. They stockpile parts, and try to understand how they work in depth.

> After the [Fukushima] catastrophe severed Toyota’s supply chains on March 11, 2011, the world’s biggest automaker realised the lead-time for semiconductors was way too long to cope with devastating shocks such as natural disasters.

> That’s why Toyota came up with a business continuity plan (BCP) that required suppliers to stockpile anywhere from two to six months’ worth of chips for the Japanese carmaker, depending on the time it takes from order to delivery, four sources said.

> The sources said Toyota has another advantage over some rivals when it comes to chips thanks to its long-standing policy of ensuring it understands all the technology used in its cars, rather than relying on suppliers to provide “black boxes”.

You always have to keep opportunity costs in mind, but something like this can pay for itself in under a year if there's significant bandwidth cost too, and that's an amazing ROI.
The Lunar Starship has enough dV to land on the moon and return to orbit, about 3.44 km/s but boosting from the moon to Earth and braking into Low Earth Orbit actually takes more dV than that, about 3.94 km/s.
