Roku is still fundamentally a pipe. Each network decides how to make its apps available (or not) and what to charge for them. Getting mad at Roku for this is like getting mad at Spotify when a certain album isn't available -- it's all up to the content owner to decide where to distribute it.
Yes, but not for reason of age alone.

The system that was in play in the USA up to about 30 years ago, where the government provided a check on the power of corporations?

(Not ignoring the capture corporations in the pre-Reagan world had on US foreign policy. However there wasn't the current religious dogma that concentrated corporate power is the only true form of freedom, and companies that went too far in harming societal interests were indeed checked.)

>$1 per active CodePipeline (must run at least once a month to be considered active)

I'm not too versed in how aws services work, but how many active codepipelines are you expected to have running every month? A few paragraphs up it says that there are 3x CodePipelines in total, but they might not be all active every month. If all of them are active, then that would come out to $3/month, which seems a bit pricey considering you can get an actual hosted email plan for $5[1]. If you're looking to save money you can go even lower[2][3]

I threw my Roku in the garbage when they couldn’t get the HBO Max contract done before launch and bought an Apple TV. Apple doesn't sell user data and nobody wants to be left out of the Apple money machine so all the services I want are available. It was completely worth it, in my opinion.
In terms of cheap, I run the redragon K40 at $40.
Do you think the globe as a whole will outperform the US market?

I don't think our collective future as a planet is any better than the US outlook, personally. If anything, the United States is probably better situated to win future dystopian contests than most, too.
None of the technologies you mentioned speak to distribution. They speak to automation in various forms.

Distribution means different things based upon who you ask, but it largely speaks to separated across one or more networks. If you really want to understand distribution model for third order consequences, such that A gives a thing to B who gives it to C. What does that mean to A if A and C share no relationship or connection? The answer to that question differs based upon the thing that is shared.

For a more practical example I wrote this point to point file distribution application. The point to point nature of the application forces privacy in that each end point knows and trusts each other. The application is also built around a windows like GUI, so user B can easily drag and drop a file from user A to user C which could violate A’s privacy or compromise C.

"fungible; it can be copied at near zero cost."

That's not what "fungible" means. The "non-fungibility" of NFTs means that each one is a unique token, it doesn't have an "exchange rate".

Fungible means "able to replace or be replaced by another identical item; mutually interchangeable," it doesn't have any meaning about the price of making a copy/reproduction/another instance.

An ordinary quarter is "fungible", if you're paying me a quarter for a piece of candy, it doesn't matter to each of us which quarter you use, they are all interchangeable. (and that doesn't mean either of us can make a copy of a quarter for free!) An ounce of gold is fungible. A bushel of the same kind of and age of wheat is fungible if you're a commodities trader.

Every bitcoin is worth the same as every other bitcoin, at any given time they have an exchange rate with other currency. That's what "fungible" means. An NFT is just a unique token on it's own, and is not worth the same as any another NFT.

(I don't actually think the market in NFT's makes any sense, not trying to explain it as something sane, just the word "fungible").

From one side, great work!

From another side, this looks much more complex, that getting an email service with catch-all address and use rules/filters to do the same.
I'd programmatically manage rules/filters and folders, rather than this entire system.
All email providers I have used on scale (Google, Microsoft, Rackspace) support this.
I'd still have a usual email service with SMTP and IMAP, rather than incompatible custom JSON APIs and unknown failure modes.

What is really interesting is cost on scale. Because if it is cheaper to send/receive 100M emails though this, than it's worth trying. However this is exactly the part not covered at all. And if you are sending not a lot of emails, maybe pay $50 to major email provider and spend your time on something more important?
First, this is about more than codecs and quality. The article notes that Google wants data on users that other channels don't get.

Hardware may be part of it, though.

Codecs also affect bandwidth. Videos in newer codecs often have a smaller file size which is less bandwidth to stream and smaller files to keep on their edge nodes. At the scale of Google and Netflix this is substantial and plays into their costs.

Google, via YouTube, has a history of only wanting to support the latest systems. I've had older devices where the YouTube app has gone away. This is a bit of forced obsolescence to push people to buy newer stuff. Not because they need it but for reasons outside the end users needs.
If there isn't a native client for iOS for a chat protocol then no one will use it. Apple has distorted chat over the internet so severely that there are many people who say they pick who they date partly based on whether or not they use iMessage for chat.

> Against a basket of currencies,

Counterpoint would be that against "a basket of assets" it is decreasing in value rapidly.

The EUR is probably tanking just as fast. What you are doing is like saying "shipping prices for steel have not increased, because the price to get a kilogram of steel across the ocean is hardly more than the price to get a kilogram of coal across the ocean".
Yes. The issue is that the NFT isn’t actual ownership, and in the case of memes there is no actual owner who can sell it.

You can verify that the NFT is unique, probably. But it doesn’t get you anything else.
Yeah it has been frustrating, and the limitations of a small team and basically one man making all the major decisions and changes has been on display for a while now.. add to that the store falling apart and Pat's financial problems.

VGM[1] has been put in place in 2016 to improve safety. Liners reported high compliance shortly after adoption [2] and [3]. This reporting of self-compliance should of course be taken with a grain of salt.

In addition, as the article mentions, the loss of 3000 containers in 2020 should be compared to the 220+ million shipped each year (2019) [4]. That is less than 0.0014%.

I'm not saying it's not a problem but am merely pointing out that progress is being made with regards to weighing containers.

Yeah, when I first stumbled upon NFTs, it looked like it was going to be a great way for small time creators/artists to cash in on their work. Some people might not want to donate to them, but if they're technically buying something for their donation, even something as ethereal as an NFT, they'll gladly fork over some money.

I considered buying some, not because I wanted to own an NFT, but because I wanted to put cash in the pocket of some illustrators/artists I like, especially in a time where they couldn't perform or have shows, etc. I wound up not buying any because the ones I was interested in were limited and sold out too quickly.

Then that Christie's auction happened and prices got kinda out of hand...
> it can also produce code that is easily and clearly extendable

It can also produce code that is not easily and clearly extendable, if the behavior you're trying to extend is buried a layer or two further down the inheritance hierarchy.

Unfortunately, due to the First Law of Kipple, the rate at which you run into this problem is proportional to the age of the code base. And so we grow frustrated with implementation inheritance. Other extensibility mechanisms probably have similar pitfalls, but they haven't been the dominant way of doing things for long enough to accumulate the same volume of clutter.

Don Knuth has mentioned in a few interviews that he isn't so hot on code reuse, and prefers code that's designed to be easy to edit over code that's designed to be easy to extend. I'm starting to see some wisdom in that idea. With the one, being able to keep things tidy is a primary goal. With the other, eventually tidying becomes a frightening enterprise, because you have to avoid upsetting the inheritance hierarchies that are precariously balanced on top of the code you're trying to tidy up.
Nothing, no legal base. This is an unregulateable market, nothing is enforced, but they all participate voluntarily. If a concept of ownership emerges it will be out of consensus not enforcement
I'm still a bit hazy on all this as well but I think that's the idea?

The NFT itself is basically some payload (any collection of bytes), a checksum of that payload, and some metadata. What's to stop someone from perturbing the payload by one byte and minting a second NFT? Nothing, really, other than "it's not the first". So yeah it's down to performing due diligence on the vendor and payload to make sure you aren't being snookered.

I think. I get the whole crypto aspect. I don't get the social/contract aspects.
I can see some of these "NFT sells for huge amount" cases being scams where the fake buyer is in fact the creator, and they're just after publicity or hoping to boost their future ability to sell to actual buyers.
By this logic, pretty much every asset you can buy with money is a scam.
I'd rather say NFTs and money are social constructs.
No they would not have had to wait 100 years. Makes for a spicy headline, but no one just throws a lump sum of money into the market once and hopes for the best.

If you continue to invest regularly, your returns eventually cover your previous losses and your back to making profits sooner than later. Your portfolio balance over time is the only thing that matters, not the returns of individual investments.

It’s why you shouldn’t be scared of a big crash. Do you plan to continue investing afterward? Yes? Then you’ll be fine.
Looks like you can open this lock any time you want, too.
Why not create a new NFT and sell it instead? The NFT doesn't seem to convey any exclusive right here.

This is pathetic more than crazy. They're going to struggle to even prove they have the NFT. Only a tiny circle of people even know how to verify this stuff. They'd get just as much practical leverage out of lying to say they'd bought the NFT and donating all the money to a charity on the sly.

You know, maybe I bought it? Can we prove I didn't in a way I'd understand?

Not only could they be lying, it is completely irrelevant to anyone even if they are. Unless I've really misunderstood something and am on the fast track to looking stupid - there is nothing here to care about even if I wanted to.
> If I want to deliver food can I ask my customers to use a Linux PC because I only have a Linux app? Can you tell your customers that your website only works on Safari?

Sure why not?

Businesses don’t have to do anything. They can and do support things arbitrarily and customers choose which business to engage with based off those decisions.

Apple and Google are following the same rules. Hopefully those rules change, but I doubt it.
But that's the problem. Smart phones have a high level of friction to change operating systems. The phones are expensive and there is a decent amount of platform lock in. If developers want to have a profitable business they pretty much need to build for iOS or Android.

The developers are creating value for Apple by improving their app ecosystem but Apple is acting like they are doing the developers a favor.
This really highlights to me how important the web is, and how close we can be to losing it all.

You simply can't pull shit like this on the web (and I'm talking about both Roku and Google here, as well as all the crap Amazon has pulled before now). It's an open platform and it's one of the only places you can access all streaming services (I think?). But the web was never able or allowed to adapt to TV set-top boxes (if I recall Mozilla made a TV stick but like Firefox OS it went nowhere). It's a real shame.
Sure, but by their very design they draw more power (multiply by N keys), which is not good for wireless keyboards.
You want proxmox, which is a linux distribution focused on vm management.

AWS really is the new IBM.

These days, no one gets fired for choosing AWS, and people get hired for knowing how to work with AWS.

Instead of you paying IBM to run your "mainframe" infrastructure, you pay AWS to run your "cloud" infrastructure. It's the same kind of service, with the same kind of economics, but under a different guise. AWS even offers an "on-premises cloud" solution for large customers.

As was the case with IBM at its peak, once you start using AWS's alphabet soup of ancillary services that work only on AWS, switching away from AWS becomes about as easy and enjoyable as replacing all the plumbing in a skyscraper.

Azure is the main alternative. There's always a #2.

>That would be great if stores weren't pushing so much for 'exclusives'.

Exclusives are not that many and instead of fighting like idiots to have only one store we could ask laws to block artificial exclusives.

On PC is not a big deal to install Origin and play a game if you are desperate, on iOS you can't install stuff without a big effort to jailbreak your device (though you can do it on OSX and I did not see any malware/viruses or similar complaints)
It’s not that stocks are safe

It’s that the options could be convex !

In other words putting 10% in the riskiest things with highest potential returns (shitcoins on DEXes for example) and 90% in the safest things would be strictly better than putting ANY money in the middle between the extremes.
The mortgage bit is the key there. Red-lining started out as a phenomena in mortgage offerings, so it makes sense that they'd be going over and above to keep their noses clean. Credit cards as a general thing though? Nah. Though I'd be stoked to see that change in the years to come.
You’ve presented a workaround and a hack tbh, not something natively supported because the workflow doesn’t map to liveview model, which is fine but you have to be honest with yourself and acknowledge when stuff like that happens, otherwise you’re in for lots of fun down the line.

This could just be recency bias. New tech is always exciting, old tech is always linked to memories of all the issues you’ve had in the past.
Even the Amish read fiction. Consuming creative works isn’t inherently bad.
Idk what FUD means.

But long story short, I like things as they are and don't want them to change. If developers don't like that they can kick rocks. I'd rather have no apps and no App Store than to see things change, frankly.

> trivialising the difficulty of the past

What's bad about that? Is the purpose of game dev to write the most efficient game code, or to make more fun games?

If it's the latter, then it's simultaneously the case that 1) this IS "trivialising" (or removing unnecessary) difficulty and 2) that's a good thing.

> 200 mails per day max. 1 per second

They've been limiting max sends per day for a long time. I set up an account around 4-5 years ago and they had a limit back then. I forgot the exact amount but it was 200 or less.

But, they do make it pretty easy to get the limit raised. I filled out a form and about a day later they bumped my limit to 50,000 per day and I think I only requested 10k per day. The form required basic information like providing a reason why I wanted a higher limit and a link to my main site where I was collecting emails from. It seemed to be human reviewed.
I remember taking a c++ class back in highschool, and being really annoyed that I didn't have a copy of borland at home. My teacher told me about this system called 'unix', and I got a free shell account with the university of colorado, complete with a copy of g++. I could code from home! So I started really liking unix, and I emailed the admin to ask how I could get root (lol). He told me about linux. I bought a cd set copy of slackware because I was on 14.4 dailup at the time. I install it, and I remember being blown away at having so much software to compile basically any language I wanted! Still use linux as my daily driver ~ 25 years later.

In their defense history focuses on the false negative rate without considering the false positive rate at the same time. Large corporate R&D labs churn out amazing and bizarre things all the time.

If there's a highway made of pennies that is being maintained by a steamroller, you can make a very consistent but small profit by picking up pennies every day. Except for that one day that you get run over by a steamroller.

A better example is imagine that every day you bet on coin flips. Every day you go home after you're up $1. You start off with a $1 bet, and double the bet every time you lose. So for example one day, you might lose $1, then lose $2, then win $4 for a total profit of $1.

It's a foolproof strategy! You win $1 every day and you can't lose. But of course it assumes that both you and the house have an infinite stake. But if not, one day the house flips 16 heads in a row and you don't have $65536 to bet a 17th time so you go home down $65535. Kind of makes your $1 daily wins look pretty stupid now, doesn't it?

There are tons of options plays available on the stock market that have a risk profile similar to the coin flip example.

You're right, I may have been too dismissive, and you're right, science is about curiosity, but the "just asking questions" approach is a way to demolish perfectly good science. You can't prove a negative, and so throwing doubt after doubt at something is a good way to discredit a perfectly valid point because eventually you run out of answers. That's why I asked why they had that belief.

The user that asked the question didn't further engage, they just threw in some doubt and walked away. That doesn't feel like scientific curiosity. That feels like pot stirring.
