As a father my guess is Disney is winning. They'd get 2X my money if they had fine print that said "You have to pay again for Frozen". Basically they just have to hook your kid on one thing and then they're getting your subscription. The number of rewatches of the same content has got to be through the roof for them.

All the other streaming services are fighting over your remaining 1-3 slots in your household. Of them it would seem Amazon looks good because they make you think you're getting a deal with Prime, but it doesn't seem to have the same pull as a 5 year old who needs to watch Disney.

The others also have the disadvantage that adults are going to know how to share an account. With kids you don't want to be coordinating it.

As for UX, I don't quite understand why anything is ever taken off the streaming service. Isn't it one of the things that makes it better than a Blockbuster? Every movie you've ever had on can be left there. There's gotta be a way to shove the long tail content on some slower/less replicated infrastructure, but maybe it isn't a technical consideration.
Careful alot of these people will give you unexpected answers to that
I'm no expert on how that phrase is used, but it seems to me to be a pejorative aimed at people who claim (or act as if) a digital copy of a piece of artwork attached to an NFT is the same thing as the NFT, which is not the case. In other words, the people being accused of having "right-clicker mentality" are the people confused about what the NFT is, not the people making the accusations.
Each Bitcoin block pays out more than a quarter of a million dollars to the miner that discovers it. Every day, more than 140 blocks are typically mined. "Infrequent" is relative, but if a miner manages to mine one block once per month (roughly once every 4000 blocks), its revenue will be in excess of $3 million per year.

Many mining companies make much more than that, because Bitcoin is more centralized than it should be.
But that isn't quite as good as something like this that can 'understand' diffs in files, rather than simply relying on the fact a bunch of bytes in a row might be the same.
I’m pretty happy with Plex, happy enough to buy a lifetime sub a few years back. I didn’t like when they started to mix in some of their Plex TV or whatever it is, but I (and my kids) find it pretty damn easy to use and at this point, I think I’ve paid around $3/mo for it.
Biggest concern is that many cars of this era spectacularly fail on the front overlap and small front overlap tests, resulting in trapping, pinning, or worse. Older cars don't do any better, mind you, but the switch to unibody construction without the structural rigidity of the latest models can result in you becoming part of the crumple zones.
It was very sparse. "Episode bundles" were common, like "here's two TNG episodes" that might be thematically but not necessarily chronologically linked, more like "best of" releases. Getting complete sets of many shows meant recording them yourselves.
You're welcome! A small correction: I shouldn't have said that "GraphQL has persisted queries"—they're not part of the spec or something. Just something many tools allow/enable.

And by the way, in 2021, I wouldn't write a GraphQL backend by hand. I think a tool like Hasura/Postgraphile is the way to go. They put up excellent scaffolds that you can augment. In addition Hasura (I don't know about other tools) provides an access control layer that is really nice as well.
If it isn't in two streaming services I'm paying for, you're damn right I'm pirating it.

Not like I have any other choice anyway when some stuff is just geolocked from me (Disney+, some HBO stuff, etc).

> … and if you live an abusive or failed state, the blockchain encryption just means that the kidnappers will start running XKCD 538 on you or your family

You assume that from the blockchain kidnappers can find out who I am. I don't think they can, unless I exchange crypto with them.

>Consider also the scale: what percentage of cryptocurrency users live in regimes like that versus the percentage who have functioning courts but are one exploit/phish away from irrecoverably losing all of their cryptocurrency?

People always make mistakes. Do you suggest to prohibit every possible action which might lead to bad consequences? Do you suggest to damage people in need in order to save those living with good conditions?
Even without a machinist, 3D printing is still very expensive, which makes it even worse comparatively.

Probably not; why wouldn't you just shine a light in one direction? It's effectively the same thing.
How is ConstitutionDAO not a legal entity? It seems like once people bought into the DAO they could not reclaim their funds so it was essentially acting as a trusted escrow service. Since they were acting as a de facto escrow service this could have been accomplished with existing financial services. Most escrow companies don't care why they're holding the money and the issue would have been convincing them that this is a reasonable thing to do. But convincing an escrow company that what you're doing is sensible in this case is a feature and not a bug because they would have immediately pointed out the obvious issues with this scheme.

In fact, going through an escrow service would have kept the amount hidden and given them an edge in actually being able to win the auction but this wasn't their goal. They wanted to show that they could hype this up and get people to sign up for it. I doubt they were ever serious about actually placing the winning bid which goes back to my original point about the crypto community not being serious about anything other than hype. I understand they're trying to grow the network of people that participate in the crypto community but shenanigans like this prove my point about them not being serious.
This is so good. I've just watched his 8 videos explaining from transistors to logic and memory. Wonder why he unfortunately stopped at SS8 : Time and Memory now...
It sounds like you would be a good culture-fit at Tesla.
I'm happy to not deal with the world of pirating much these days. Only things I really pirate are some BBC/UK shows that likely won't ever make it to the US and the GD Pac-12 Network because they can't get their act together and get their network on any streaming service worth subscribing to.
I have been looking at the Ineos Grenedier that is coming out early next year. The owner of Ineos wanted a better version of the LandRover Defender before their redesign. No digital features, all buttons. I think they are pricing it around 40-50k.

Check out the interior here.

I think it's fun to read all the stuff about how it is impossible to estimate what software costs.

What is so magically different about it? All other professions can do it.
And not just the other professions, our company is one of many software shops that sells projects. We need to be able to make good estimations to be profitable, and we are.

Maybe it's all the VC and BigCorp money that is stopping you.
SoundExchange kind of works like you describe but not quite. You report to them “I played X for user Y at time Z,” and they go cool, for the billing period and that play count, it’s $4,000 to clear your rights. What’s left unspoken is you still need a redistributable copy of the recording before you can do that. SoundExchange does not provide that and buying something from iTunes or Amazon, for example, still doesn’t get you legal in most cases. You’re looking at Beatport Pro and even more expensive things like that designed for professionals.

Worse: SX only covers the recording. You still have to talk to the big three licensing agencies about the written music. (That was my understanding about 15 years ago in Internet radio. This point might have changed.)

There isn’t an insert coin receive MP3 with all rights attached service, which sounds like how you’ve understood SoundExchange to work, and what you’re lobbying for in video. I agree that would be cool but it’s extremely unlikely for the same reason you can’t do it with SX.
> For one thing, there's only so much space on your walls for prints, but a huge enormous amount of space in your wallet to hold NFTs. Whales / superfans can spend even more than they otherwise could - which isn't a bad thing for artists.

This is quite silly. Digital art has been a thing for years. By raw numbers, the majority of independent artists these days make a living doing digital art commissions. And yes, to whales; I have multiple artist friends who make an absolute killing drawing one-of-a-kind commissioned pornography (furries are loaded!). NFTs did not invent digital art or the digital art market, it's just that techbros are finally realizing it exists now that it's possible to attach cryptocurrency scams to art.
Ah. That is odd. Maybe there was an error in the master file given to YouTube or a glitch in their encoder that skipped it.
I'm right there, with you. Even worse, are the ones where they outline the silhouette with a solid color.
Using Lightweight Formal Methods to Validate Services in Amazon S3 [pdf]
I'm driving a 2017 Jeep Wrangler (JK) with a manual transmission. I don't drive much (less than 4k miles/yr).

I can't drive automatic transmissions without losing my mind. My guess is if you can find a car with a standard transmission, you can get it without "smart" features. If you can't drive stick, that's fine. I couldn't drive stick when I bought my first manual transmission. If I can learn, you can learn.
Any technological progress obtained from cryptocurrency research will be the most expensive progress ever purchased in human history.

The costs come from:

- Opportunity cost of having lots of smart people focusing on cryptocurrency who could have been researching medicine, clean energy, or space tech.

- Money spent on manufacturing and maintaining the cryptocurrency mining equipment. Those factories could be making other products that directly benefit peoples' lives. We currently have a shortage of electronics because of the pandemic. Cryptocurrency mining makes that shortage worse.

- Environmental pollution produced by the power plants used for cryptocurrency mining. For every $1 a miner spends on electricity, the rest of society will pay $N to remove the CO2 later. Also, emissions from coal power plants often poison people and soil nearby.

- Increased environmental destruction caused by digging up energy and building and running more power plants.

The ultimate benefit will not be worth the cost. How could it?
Which Star Trek season was cancelled? I can't find any news on it.
The thing I'm wondering is whether the registry is not trying to get the domain back for them (which would be possible given the domain).

I cannot find any trace of the domain on the internet, so at least I don't think it was used. I don't know if there is some kind of way back machine for domain name records / whois ?
the whole idea that you have to fork process tables, user tables, network tables and filesystems to achieve encapsulation between applications is a product of the old unix security model not being sufficient for what people are actually using these systems for today.

so the popularity of containers (namespaces) and the entire ecosystem of tools like this (dating all the way back to chroots and bsd jails) basically says to me that maybe a fresh approach to security features in an operating system would lead to less complexity than what has needed to be built on top of good ol' unix.
I got a 2011 Toyota Camry for just this reason. It was the last year before touch screens were introduced. (edit: still has a ton of air bags)
This does not explain why NASA of the 1960s was so dynamic and goal-oriented and lost that spirit in the following decades.

I still trust NASA when it comes to interplanetary probes and other basic research, but they stopped squeezing their suppliers (Boeing, Morton Thiokol etc.) for radically better launchers a long time ago. All improvement was very gradual. Which is not terrible in itself, but expendable rockets need reusable replacement very sorely. Fortunately, Falcon 9 seems to work very well.

I think no one, including Elon Musk, would claim that private space companies developed everything from scratch. They were obviously standing on the shoulders of giants. What is less fortunate is the fact that many of those giants were already dead.
Chickenpox is significantly less lethal and less expensive to treat than Covid is, so I'm not sure why it's relevant.

No. In NZ we only got what the local broadcasters had licensed.

In retrospect, they did a great job of curation.* I seem to spend more time looking for something to watch than watching, and often just give up and go to bed.

* Up til subscription satellite TV became available. Quality was inversely related to the number of available channels.
You know, you don’t need to watch any TV at all.
Indeed, unless Twitter were to check each profile picture against some database of known images. That would be silly, of course, but precisely as silly as YouTube checking 100s of hours of video footage every minute against known copyrighted footage.
Lesson: HN likes the long version.
You're generally correct. But there are interesting exceptions!

Sometimes, ROM-image-based game titles were based on the same "engine" (i.e. the same core set of assembler source-files with fixed address-space target locations, and so fixed locations in a generated ROM image), but with a few engine modifications, and entirely different assets.

In a sense, this makes these different games effectively into mutual "full conversion ROMhacks" of one-another.

You'll usually find these different game titles compressed together into the same ROMset (with one game title — usually the one with the oldest official release — being considered the prototype for the others, and so naming the ROMset), because they do compress together very well — not near-totally, the way bugfix patches do, but adding only the total amount to the archive size that you'd expect for the additional new assets.

Well-known examples of this are Doki Doki Panic vs. Super Mario Bros 2; Panel de Pon vs. Tetris Attack; Gradius III vs. Parodius; and any game with editions, e.g. Pokemon or Megaman Battle Network.

But there are more "complete" examples as well, where you'd never even suspect the two titles are related, with the games perhaps existing in entirely-different genres. (I don't have a ROMset library on-hand to dig out examples, but if you dig through one, you'll find some amazing examples of engine reuse.)
TV app on macOS and iOS solves this problem, outside of stuff on Netflix. I know it is a solution only for Apple users, but if a content owner does not want to make it easy for people, then that is the content owner’s problem.
I’ve done both and am currently doing both. Like other commenters have said it depends heavily on a lot of your specific circumstances.

I’d be happy to give you more advice if you can say more about who’d be managing it, what your current costs are, and roughly what your use case is, etc. For some generic advice though, I’d say renting dedicated servers is typically the way to go unless you have a specific reason you want your own hardware.

In my case, my reason is experimenting with RDMA over Converged Ethernet for machine learning and I couldn’t find machines with GPUs and capable interconnects for rent. If you don’t have specialized requirements though any provider is probably fine
So because it isn't a magic bullet that makes participants bulletproof it's infeasible? Would you say dollars are infeasible as a black market tool as well? What about cocaine?
Well the OFAC list and AML/KYC laws do that. Accredited investor laws are to stop poor people from getting rekt by snake oil salesmen which led to the Great Depression.
My personal theory is our living environment in western world is over sanitized. This makes it ripe for any infection spread.

If you think about it our immune system has been outsourced to megacorps. Hopefully that last statement speaks for itself.

Don't get me wrong, good hygiene is important but our living environment needs a good balance with organisms. That picture perfect home with an immaculately trimmed green lawn comes at a huge price (chemically made pretty).

Another theory is cashless societies appear to have been hit greatest by COVID. Let me expand on this idea ... Currency, specifically coins can greatly prevent the transmission of harmful organisms.

Again, this is a personal view. I'm not an anti-vaxxer by any means.
Just out of curiosity: how can Internet connection be turned on remotely, if the car is, well, not connected to the Internet in the first place?
Within the context of the article though, if one assumes greedy doctors, then essentially cooperating doctors can cooperate to refuse treatment N times, where N is an equilibrium between the lemon-picking bonus and never accepting any patients at all (and therefore never having any revenue), in order to get the system to label non-lemons as lemons.
You do realize web3 seeks to give ownership over your online identity while maintaining anonymity right?

It feels like a lot of you guys have no idea what is going on here and just want to be mad at something.
I want more a la carte. Give me one service without bundles where every "channel" has a price. I don't want my provider negotiating a 14-channel package for every viewer (YouTubeTV and NBC Universal). I don't want MTV and VH1, but I do want Tennis Channel (which isn't an option).

You are probably right. But they help the other 1% by using crypto.

If you're after some snippets, this is my modest collection:

Mostly I add snippets like `rrrfn` to create a new react function component (it starts with `rrr` so it won't show up in suggestions unless I explicitly want it), or "jestfile" to scaffold out a test case.

In 100 years, these will bo to 0. Same for NFTs and most probably most current cryptocurrencies. The stock market will be still there.
To clarify for anyone in the US, this applies to everyone _outside_ the US. Previously, Paramount released Star Trek: Discovery on Paramount+ in the US and Netflix everywhere else. Now it's Paramount+ everywhere, only that doesn't exist everywhere yet.

It's amazing to me that the company feels that the benefits of this outweigh the goodwill it costs them among the fanbase. Trekkies are going apeshit over this. It makes me more hesitant to buy Star Trek media in the future, and I'll admit I'm not one to change my buying patterns based on companies' behavior ordinarily.
I grew up in China. As someone who has personal experience of growing up there, I would really like foreigners and foreign countries to stop concern trolling and telling us what to do. This is no longer the 19th century and white men no longer own Asia. Chinese values are different from Western values and I expect people on the other side of the world to respect and understand that. One of our most important values is internal stability, and the Peng Shuai situation reflects that.
You put quotes around that, but I read the article and searched through the article and he never wrote that.

I'd recommend Colovore for power - they are specialized for this use case and do a great job for us.

We started in the same situation where we had 10x RTX 8000 cards. We've since added tons of A6000 and A100 cards in our cabinet and have had no power issues.
I love slime and slime-related discourse. It's underappreciated, but there is growing enthusiasm for the topic.

No, that was the distinguishing feature of linear TV. You can tell because cable has those features now too, for the content that is already in their system. They are now trying to get more content in to their system.

What cable did was bring multiple networks together into a single interface which had never been done before.
My comment was to encourage commenting when there's a meaningful thing to say regardless if it seems like a bikeshedding pattern.

These extra comments are noise and I don't even want to write this but note that we should avoid comments that don't have a positive purpose. Hopefully this one will lead to fewer of these.
I had a similar experience recently when we were trying to get AMDGPU Linux kernel drivers to run without panic'ing.

./scripts/decodecode is what produces the disassembly of the code trace from the panic. (Seeing its output converted in Intel syntax in this post is...heresy)

For AMDGPU, the issue was that the x86 Linux kernel doesn't use 16B stack alignment (it uses 8B stack alignment), yet just the AMDGPU driver was forcing the stack alignment for itself back to 16B. The AMDGPU driver uses SSE2 instructions that require 16B stack alignment. From the trace, seeing RSP as a multiple of 8 and not 16 was the smoking gun (ie. a single register).

The fix was to use the same stack alignment (8B) consistently in the driver when using sse2 (except for old GCC versions), see this series: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191016230209.39663-2-ndesauln.... Stack alignment has obvious ABI implications.
> High quality candidates are generally confident in their abilities and thankful that they can take 2 weeks to show you their skills instead of doing it in a high pressure setting in a couple of hours.

When I'm interviewing, I prefer interviewing with multiple companies[1] while still earning an income. No way I'm going through 2 weeks * N companies because it entails quitting my old job first, and interviewing for months at a time - not preparing but actually interviewing - which is crazy talk to me. I'd rather go through the high-pressure/low time-commitment route as it's scalable.

1. Companies are paradoxically "desperate for engineers" and more willing to keep positions open for longer, so it's prudent to maximize my chances of getting hired by spreading my net as wide as possible. Having multiple offers in hand also strengthens my negotiating position for remuneration.
I wonder if you could write some sort of filter that would let you, as a reader, not see messages right when they arrive. Maybe let them "fade in", and only show up as unread when they've solidified a little while.
Can’t really call it a heist when the digital artwork is freely sent from the server to one’s personal computer.

If you don’t want the digital bits shared, don’t place then on a web server with no controls whatsoever as to who has the ability to access them. Duh.
