I've just spent a bit over a year in the live entertainment industry, and feel like I might be able to provide some insight here. On the one hand, this feels like an own-goal because no one in live entertainment has been paid since the beginning of 2020. Though that started to change a little over this summer.

On the other hand, many of the people from the live entertainment industry found refuge in film and television. There has been a hollowing out of the industry where the senior folks have stuck around, but lots and lots of people who were early in their career have left and are not coming back. The senior folks can afford a few more weeks of no pay. However, if they cut off revenue to the film&tv world, they are setting up a 1-2 punch to the entertainment companies (1. COVID, 2. strike), and that puts them in a good negotiating position.

>Ad Quality measurement

It's called Quality score (soon to be discontinued) and has 3 components. Only one of which is landing page related. And nothing prevents competitors from building "more relevant" landing pages than the original brand.
There is a slight flaw there. It fails to account for vehicle malfunctions (blown tires, running out of power, component failure, roadway debris, etc.) so even with computerized coördination you need to keep a speed determined safe distance from vehicles in front of them. (with reference to the accordion effect of stop and go.)
Oh using Maya, Nuke, VRay and Unreal btw. Maybe its best to start with Blender/Unreal these days.

Thank you for sharing this. Facebook received a lot of criticism for how they lobbied publicly against iOS14. Their reputation is ruined, and anything they say will always be taking with a cynical afterthought. But as much as it pains me to say it, they are 100% right in saying that iOS14 is indirectly going to create a lot of damage for SMBs and companies trying to disrupt the status quo. There's more nuance to it, but think of it this way: if your marketing budget plans on reaching 100m Americans each year, then the negative impact on micro targeting is not quite as bad since you're going for the mainstream customer anyway. But if you're trying to reach only 1m people, then losing micro targeting is a matter of life or death.

On a related note, I just could not stand how Witcher 3 chose to use DIN font for the UI. Sure, it's hyper-legible, but detracts from the "medievalesque" setting. There must have been better alternatives to choose from, even if only lightly stylized. Hell, just any humanist font like Optima, Gill Sans would better blend in. Or something similar to Chiaro (admittedly Japanese-first font) used in the Ocarina of Time.
There are other options. For example, funding a publicly-owned search engine with $1 billion a year in infrastructure and development costs would be 50x cheaper than what the US spends on foodstamps. It'd be 1/10th the NSF's annual budget.

Not that that's the best option, but we could consider some new ideas.

Me too, considering the uncompressed table is tiny anyway, so saving ram for its own sake is not a useful goal here.
That's secondary & the reason Google doesn't have this is likely because the sellers don't want to provide this. E.g. Amazon doesn't want potential customers being easily redirected to Walmart purchases. One of the many reasons Froogle died.

The simple solution is that your paid advertisements are free if it gets clicked when you're the top result anyway. That way it doesn't cost the brand any money to bid on advertisements for their own brand.
If nobody can see people live, as you say, then surely the people making online streaming content are even more valuable right now.

One of the reasons this is all happening is because workers have continually been abused around streaming content. Studios are making more and more money while workers get shafted with ever worsening hours and pay. Studios are abusing definitions of work surrounding streaming shows/movies to drastically abuse hour and pay laws.
AIUI antitrust also covers cartels, e.g. this one from the early 20th century controlling lightbulbs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoebus_cartel
The author makes 2 arguments, one is correct, the other is wrong.
1) the infrastructure built for bitcoin wouldn't necessarily be weatherized, which was why much of it failed earlier this year. True.
2) Texas has a system to change market prices for wholesale electricity, so price scales up when demand is high / supply is low. Author seems to know this but comes to the wrong conclusion. Most/residents businesses choose flat rate pricing so demand doesn't drop when supply does. BTC miners would absolutely choose variable pricing (which is cheaper most of the time, and reduce mining when prices spike, freeing up that power for the essential parts of the grid.

Interestingly I have the exact opposite experience. Apt has never failed for me in the last 15 years but pacman fails all the time in both Arch derivatives and specially in MSYS2. With pacman you HAVE to keep updating at least weekly. MSYS2 often gets into state where it will no longer download updates and after going through all suggested fixes the only thing that works is to nuke it and start fresh. It doesn't help that pacman is designed to be used interactively so you can't just schedule reliable background updates.
I don't want to support a company that held back computational advancements for a decade by engaging in anti-competitive practices towards their main competitor then using the gained ground to justify slowing down cpu advancements.

I don't want to support the market segmentation that intel does with ECC and raid. Especially given the single core pref hit you take moving from the mainline i7-i9 cpus to the equivalent xeon ones thats on top of the 2x to 3x mark up for no reason.

In short there is an ethical issue with buying intel some people want to avoid.

20+ Years of dev, some of these I did right, some I wish I did ;)

1-Learn one language/stack inside out. That knowledge translates very well o other stacks: They need to solve the same problems, they just have different approaches/solutions.

2-Don't be a fanboy of one stack: Work with others, if you are a backend developer, do some frontend, if you work with strongly typed languages, try python for some time, if you have always used GC languages, try rust, etc. Different languages/stacks teach you different ways to come up with solutions.

3-This one is suggested by the others, but it cannot be overemphasized: Learn SQL, and learn it well. Postgres (with all its gotchas) is an incredible work of engineering, learn that and you can easily switch to others when needed.

4-Take care of your body. Find the exercise that works well for you. I hate gym, but love tennis.

5-Take care of your mind. Avoid people and workplaces that waste your mental energy. The world is packed with awesome people and companies to discover.

6-Be reasonably kind to people. They tend to re-appear later in your life and play roles you would not imagine now. But be kind and forget (as in fire and forget): don't expect people to return your kindness, this expectation leads to disappointment. Also, don't make your plans based on that.

7-Push your limits. This is not overworking. Learning for 1 hour/day for years can make a huge difference. But also be ready to finish a book on a weekend and come back next week with some firm understanding of a concept/technique/tool... if that's needed.

I’ve spent years working in and walking through the TL and civic center every day. Not once have I worried that someone was gonna “sneak attack” me.

They were probably done by hand, especially given the swapping of characters from different fonts.

I've forgotten the name of the company [flir reminds me in the comment below that it was Letraset], but it was common back then (yes, I'm an old fart, though was a kid when that film came out) to have a transparent sheet with adhesive vinyl (? or some other polymer) letters you could transfer over one by one to your workpiece. If you went into a an art supply house there would be racks of these things sorted by font and then size, down at least to 8 point.

Back in 1968 phototypesetting was not super common. It was probably used for some of the larger blocks (like the toilet instructions) although just as likely to have been done with hot lead which survived almost to the end of the 1970s.

It's hard to remember now (this mostly predated my working time since I started with laser printing in the 70s) but medium and large companies often had a lot of paper and data management departments with things like typing pools (completely retyping documents in order to incorporate edits was the state of the art) and print shops (photocopiers were expensive and uncommon into the 70s)

ISO 8601 is not related to Unicode (ISO/IEC 10646), but if you do care about Unicode you may notice that Unicode CLDR actually supports the preferred first day of the week as a part of locale identifiers [1] (e.g. en-US-u-fw-mon will make the first day of the week Monday, as opposed to the default Sunday for USA).

They always do, especially if you never switch jobs, but there's no need to unsustainably accelerate this process.

Rereading the post, I agree it came across as more personal than it should have been. I wish I was able to frame it more as a response to all the people advocating for alternative marketing ideas which frankly never work out. Instead, I brought in his own company into the narrative, which was below the belt. I know first hand how hard it is to get something to work, and how unlikely it is to happen time after time. I wish I could edit the comment, but HN won't let me at this point.
Obviously credit is important for them as a proof of competence. If the company does not give them credits how can they build their business, portfolio. You can jus say I was the one who discovered this.

Nuclear reactors cannot explode. It is not physically possible. It isn't even close to physically possible. Reactor-grade uranium is about 5% U235 while you need >90% to make something that can explode.

May as well ask why we use wind turbines when they might take off and start dropping napalm.
Simply false. For example, LISP 1.5 manual had this definition for UNION:

(union (lambda (x y) (cond ((null x) y) ((member
(car x) y) (union (cdr x) y)) (t (cons (car x)
(union (cdr x) y))))))

It had a MAPLIST (today called MAPCAR):

maplist[x;fn]=[null[x]->NIL;
t->cons[fn[x];maplist[cdr[x];fn]]]

Or APPEND:

append[x;y] = [null[x] -> y; T -> cons[car[x]; append[cdr[x];y]]]

Et cetera. Sure, it also had, say, NCONC. But it had these operators and style from the beginning, not surprisingly, as Lisp came from lambda calculus.

Mental hurdle? There is no mental hurdle, I understand the wishes of the Lego corporation just fine. I say "legos" because that's what I've always said, it rolls off my tongue and feels comfortable to me, and I see no reason to change. Why should I defer to the wishes of the Lego corporation and let them dictate how I use language? Incidentally, I also call megabloks "legos" too.

(I also say "animes" and "pokemons", but if I'm being honest those two are mostly just to get a rise out of the sort of people who would complain about that. I suspect most parents who say "nintendos" are similarly smirking when they say it, since the "NoooOOooo Dad that's not right!" responses are just too amusing.)

Never do more. Never do extra. Always do less.

Still homeworking? I recommend playing the piano for the rest of the week after you finished your properly overestimated tickets. Any other instrument will do. You can also cook one new dish a day, work out or learn any other new hobby! Feeling uninspired? Just clean, do a spa day or watch tv.

Trapped at work? Read a book! You could also try audio books if reading isn‘t your thing.

It‘s important to always overestimate tasks and blow them out of proportion. Have careful conversations with team members to encourage them to overestimate and teach them this skill. Keep 10x rockstar developers out of the team, if at all possible. Be an inspiring leader to help manage the worklife balance of your teammates!

Never forget to prepare something to say in the standup for every day. Do more work at the beginning of the week.

You will pick up new skills this way and have lots of things to talk about.
I can write on a piece of paper that I have 50 BTC, but that doesn't create new coins. Miners create new coins, which land in wallets. Simple.

Only fiat money allows you to create new money out of debt.

Once you've got the waveforms as arrays, what do you need the ASCII rendering for?

Instead of diffing ASCII-rendered waveforms, save the arrays and diff the arrays (and then use any kind of numerical metric on the residual). Scientist programmers have all sorts of techniques for testing and debugging software that processes sampled signals.
Neat, but those visualizations seem like an unrealistic exaggeration for dramatic effect. I would assume that people would generally respond in some way to large scale flooding as they've done in the past, whether building levies or creating artificial land & rebuilding on top to try to stem the problem. Certainly an expensive endeavor that'll continue to create drastic inequalities across the globe & it'll create a lot of humanitarian crises, but it would genuinely surprise me that 10 years from now Google Earth images will actually look similar to these predictions even if we don't change our path.

I think the better way to message this is "here's the cost of what it'll cost your government to keep this city running over the next 10 years/here's how much money you'll lose if you don't start getting ready".
This is the fundamental issue with all advertising-based models. Eventually, they all run into the problem of having to continue to grow. The only way to continue to grow is to display more ads, thus compromising the user experience, which starts the downfall. AOL was a great example of this. Google seems to be heading this way.

Google's original values were the ability to provide better search (common answer) and be fast (less common answer) - both of which were a complete contrast to the Alta Vista and other search engines. I could easily see Google facing disruption from a new player - but I don't think it will be another search engine. Probably a paradigm/systemic shift.
Good to know. I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the info!
I'm not super pro-union (plenty of mess there) but there really are some reasonable asks union side.

My guess, folks have been NOT working the 12+ hour days, have NOT been doing the "rolling lunches" and other wild hollywood stuff (that a construction worker would think was crazy) during COVID. Might have opened their eyes to life outside of the hollywood dream machine.

Maybe look for things as basic as:

Mandated stop production 30 minute lunches.
Mandated 10 hour turnarounds seem totally reasonable
And bottom line, new media isn't new media anymore, it's big business so sorting that out also makes sense

I've never fully understood why hollywood can't always take a standard 30 minute lunch break. The job site across the street, lunch time, everyone puts down their stuff and eats and relaxes. And end of day, they are gone (unless it's a rush and paying overtime).
(note this is my list - union's position may be different etc).
