I think part of this change is just that there is such a high number of new games coming out every day.

Also, with sales going on all the time, there is much less incentive for many people to torrent. It's also more convenient to own the game on Steam due to automatic updates, mods, etc.

As Gabe Newell said, piracy is a service problem. Provide a better service and it'll go away. I think this is largely what has happened here. Same with streaming services like Netflix.

Sigh...

The point the article is making is this is a "low level" only in the programmer's mind. The point is that for example the mental model you have when programming in python is one mental model and the model you have for C is another. C's might be faster in most implementations, but it is still a mental model and it is a mental model that is somewhat removed from what actually happens when your cpu executes instructions.

People have trained themselves to think in the Python (or js or java or etc etc) mental model while remembering that it doesn't map to what actually happens 100% People have NOT made that leap for C because people still labor under the delusion that their CPU is a fast PDP-11.

Don't see the point of a C-style for loop in a modern language, reusing the keyword is perfectly sensible (even more so as many which have both use the same keyword).

C# actively weirds me out every time from having both for and foreach, complete waste of brainspace.

> COVID has generally proven to both employers and employees that productivity doesn't drop that much.

I know this is the popular sentiment pushed by remote work fans, but in offline contexts I hear the polar opposite: Productivity struggles are ubiquitous during COVID WFH.

Even the most pro-remote people are quick to admit that COVID WFH is not like normal WFH. Some places even had school closures which meant parents were juggling kids schooling and their jobs. Maybe you worked in a company that didn’t have a lot of employees with these problems, but it has been a significant challenge for many people and companies in the past year and a half.

I managed remote teams long before COVID and even I wouldn’t ever suggest that remote has no effect on productivity. Remote is hard and I’d even say that most people aren’t cut out for it, at least not without significant mentoring and additional management attention.
Alternatives include substance and property dualism, and monism such as that put forward by George Berkeley. In the materialist camp, besides identity theory (where mind = brain), there are also non-reductive physicalists, though I think that's a poor alternative.

Although Sean Carroll is a scientist, his claim that mind = body is a philosophical one, not a scientific one. I would not be surprised if most scientists are identity theorists or similar when it comes to these questions, but that's more a product of (a) science community culture and (b) the fact that science covers a group of methods to try to answer questions about the material world. There are questions worth asking, and worth trying to answer, that are not scientific questions and not amenable to investigation via scientific methodologies. Those might be mathematical (is there any rational number that is the square root of two?) or logical (e.g., whether to accept S5 modal logic), or other philosophical questions (does God exist? do the objects of mathematics exist?).

Scientists may find themselves thinking about these question, may have strong opinions about some of them (as indeed Sean Carroll does), but these are not scientific questions. Many of the interesting questions about the relation between mind and body are for now philosophical (with some overlap with science -- e.g., finding out ways in which the brain can affect the mind).

On that point, I don't see the relevance of the fact (if indeed it is a fact) that billions of bodies have disappeared without a mind ever coming back. Suppose that someone thinks that brain and mind are not identical -- why would they expect the mind to come back once the body disappears?

Just an idea: What if instead of writing a client that uses a new protocol we did that on the server? That is, implementing something like this project, but into a local news server, so that users can connect with whatever client they wish to localhost:119, while the server maintains the groups and messages pool in sync through IPFS or any similar mean.
You're over-valuing labour. Labour is one thing, but not everything. What you're describing assumes people can't get other jobs, which is not true, and that of competition, which is where multiple parties automate, and so profits decrease (because monopolies are bad).

> Do I reply to the person or the list?

Up to you! If you want to reply to the person only, then you hit "Reply". If you want to reply to the list (so that everyone on the list can see it), you hit "Reply List", if your e-mail client has such a button. If your e-mail client does not, then there is no magic either: Reply to the person in your TO, so that they get the message immediately, and put the list address in CC. No magic.

> How do I make sure my reply is properly threaded and doesn't show up as a new thread in the list or something?

That is a better question already. I asked myself this before and also asked other people running a mailing list or at least being very active there. There is some kind of message matching algorithm, which looks at the "subject" of your e-mail. It is very reliable to simply put a "Re: " in front of the subject of the message you want to reply to. This is usually done by e-mail clients automatically, if you are using "Reply" buttons and the context is clear for the e-mail client. If the context is not clear to the e-mail client or cannot be clear from my actions in the UI of it, then I copy the title and type "Re: " myself. Never failed me so far.

It is really not that complicated and no magic is involved at the usage side of things. Use a proper e-mail client, not some limitted web interface, and you should not have much problems. Gmail does not play into the question of whether it is simple to use mailing lists. It is merely one e-mail service provider of many, and not a specifically good one at that. Lets not make this about gmail. I am using mailing lists almost every day in my e-mail client (Thunderbird). No editing of e-mail headers or anything. Don't over-complicate or overthink things and you will be fine. No one demands of you to edit e-mail headers in plain text.
The Stripe CEO was on HN before stripe was even a thing. This comment is disgusting on so many levels. In other companies the CEO wouldn't even give you the time of day whereas with Stripe if something goes wrong in their processes, which given the size of that company is by now inevitable there is at least one way in which you can try to correct this.

Obviously, it would be great if nothing ever went wrong. It would be better still if Stripe had a couple of thousand people manning the phones over Christmas. But automation can and does fail and I figure that by now anybody that decides to farm out a critical portion of their business to a large company is able to figure out for themselves that such a dependency has risks as well as benefits.

It still sucks for the OP, but your characterization, using a novelty account at that, is below the belt, especially on a one-sided story that appears to have plenty left out.

"But Netflix has 213 million users. If pirating was really so much easier.."

I am willing to bet there are more than 500 million people pirating, so I don't think this argument carries much weight. Netflix is a very 'rich western country' thing. The rest of the world exists.
Is this satire? The construction of New England's rock walls is well documented and occurred primarily between 1700ish (starting date varies greatly based on location) and 1840ish (when it became substantially less economically useful to clear land to graze sheep for wool) with a long tail extending up until the industrialization of the 1870s.
I remember hearing about Lifi [1] years ago and thinking we would see it everywhere but this has not been the case. I wonder what has held it back.

I'd argue that the class of languages running within a virtual machine like Java (JVM) or .NET (CLR) ought to be placed in a higher level of abstraction. These are so detached from the physical reality that they become cross-platform, which in itself is also the goal.
That is true of course. I would like to have some terms, that really guarantee, that this aspect would not change and then I would like to see transparency in how data is handled on their end. Maybe those are not TOS then? What would that be called?
Reasons piracy still exists and will exist approximately forever:

- Something not being available in your country

- The version that is available is a "helpfully" translated one when you would rather watch the original with subs

- Your device isn't worthy of receiving a high-quality stream despite you paying for one and your hardware being capable of decoding it

- The player is just shitty and you can't use your own

- There are ads despite you paying a subscription

- You "bought" a movie, then it was taken away from you because the seller lost the license. In other words, your continued access to something you allegedly own is still contingent on the seller and its whims.

It's surprising how much people are willing to tolerate, but in general, around me torrenting something is still the default. Some people do have Netflix or other subscriptions, but they are a minority. Just no one is having this whole "you get the same exact movie but you pay AND you get a worse UX" thing.

And DVDs? I don't think I've ever seen an actually licensed and encrypted DVD. Many players ignore all those "no fast forwarding" flags as well.

I disagree; of the requirements listed, only #1 is part of my needs from a publicly-accessible text chat group for a project. The remainder are familiar, but for various reasons and in certain combinations can end up promoting and enabling unsafe environments for healthy interpersonal discussion, so I no longer consider them as mandatory as I used to.

To contrast our needs, my number one requirement from a chat system is that free-text searches of discussions cannot be performed without limit by non-members and non-participants.

If a 5120x2880 display were larger than 27", then it wouldn't have a good pixel density. In my experience, either slightly above 100 or 200 ppi are the sweet spots for screen resolution, because you get along well with an integer scaling factor.

> On the other hand - just 48 hours to leave doesn't seem like fair play.

We can't say that as a general statement. You can't suddenly start using your account to process, say, ransomware payments and expect a month grace period since it's Christmas and you need to update all your infected clients.

I'm not saying that this is what OP did and it seems likely to me that 48 hours is an uncalled-for short notice period, but there definitely are circumstances where this would be fair.
> Lots of people don't mind paying for one or two, but probably not five or six. Especially when some just have one or two good programmes.

'Subscription rotation' may become a thing: you pay for a service for a few months, catch up on any shows that were released on it that you haven't seen, and then cancel and move onto the next one. A year later you come back to the first one and do a new catch-up.

There may be one or two that you stick with (e.g., Disney if you have kids).
Well, I meant it more in terms of x86 to microcode JIT compilers, but in software. So even existing code can potentially be run in exactly the same way they do know, but instead of cumbersome hardware pipelines, these could be done entirely in software where the complexity ceiling is perhaps somewhat higher. This JIT compiler could do the same “magic” what current CPUs do, reorder, branch predict, etc and even more, while in case of a bug those can be fixed without buying a new processor.

I think you can simply point out that if the protocol was open, beyond bot development, if users could choose their clients, and searchable plain text archives could be made available, etc, all but the most political detractors in these arguments would be appeased. But the thing is, that will never happen, because we are not talking about a protocol, but a service. And that to me is just the whole problem. There is just nowhere to go, and people who try to develop in this space are squashed by the TOS. At the end of the day you can either be fine with the lock in here, or not.
