My understanding is too much demand in a short period of time. Demand outruns supply. Factories can pump as much chips as they can. Overall there is huge demand for electronics, cars and all other stuff that's using chips. Lockdowns contributed to this because majority of demand shifted from equilibrium(balance of goods and services) to goods and no services or very little services. Or another version of the story is people were saving money in order to buy goods when lockdowns were over.
>Neilsen demonstrates that the legacy media are dying fast, fewer and fewer people are tuned in as the broadcasting becomes more and more toxic. This is a good thing imo.

But is it a good thing?

A free press can be thought of as the sensory organs of the polity. If the sensory organs are faulty, or worse are deliberately lying, then alternative sensory organs may fill in the blanks with less robust information. These days, when you read a story from mainstream sources, it's often best to say, "well, I don't know anything about this story, but it's pretty safe to assume that what I just read is either wrong or nonsense." That's really not good. It gets worse if the only alternatives are just as wrong, or just as nonsensical, and you have to apply some kind of boolean bullshit math to get some outline of what the issue even is.

The erosion of public trust isn't a short-term problem.

Taking a show originally cropped for 4:3 and expanding the image to 16:9 can also lead to fun results when microphones, lightstands and crew are in the parts of the picture that where originally cropped out. Buffy was a famous victim of that.

And fitting for the topic, there is a Matrix - Open Matte trailer on Youtube, was never broadcast in that form, but an interesting watch at what is in the full picture:

I find your comment rather flippant. How about you provide a full, undistracted summary.
The food in stores is cheap. And that matters to consumers more than whatever alleged quality small-time farmers can produce (was food actually better a hundred years ago? Doubt).
I read that you can achieve similar results with uBlock Origin, but I indeed ended up using uBlacklist as you can block websites on the go and because it supports multiple search engines. It is working perfectly, one more reason to use FF I guess.
There are other photos of him still clothed at the camp, and the clothes are not clean.

In the nearly nude photo his hands are visibly dirty.
I'm not sure what you're referring to, but you're assuming your conclusion by using a word like 'murdered' in any case.

In general, there's a lot of space on HN for arguing contrarian or minority views, as long as you're actually using the site as intended, i.e. for curious, thoughtful, respectful conversation. Most accounts that I see complaining that they've been suppressed haven't been doing that to begin with.
But those maps aren’t equally distributed. Yes, Seattle has alot of SFH zoning in…lake city, greenwood, rainier. But the place where they are building luxury town homes aren’t it, as soon as the zoning allows for it, developers buy out the old small craftsman homes built in the 1920s and replace them with multiple 3-4 story luxury townhomes.
The early streaming catalog was pretty huge compared to what it is today. They were the only name in town and there wasn't anywhere for IP rights holders to pull out and park their content instead, so there was a lot of TV shows and movies from major studios on the streaming service. DVD service had seemingly everything every made into a DVD.
RIP FAANG
To be fair, every comment that didn't agree with the conclusion of the article was nerfed. The top comment on this post for most of its existence immediately left the top and within seconds jumped to being the very last comment at the bottom with all the other even vaguely pro-diversity comments.
If you're not into kids movies or superheroes, Disney's IP isn't really all that compelling.
>There was never a time when you could name a film and expect it to be on Netflix to stream.

That's not what your parent comment was suggesting. It was saying that Netflix's streaming collection was the same as Blockbuster's physical DVD collection, which was big but not unlimited (i.e. "every film you can think of")
> To work at the CBC in the current climate is to embrace cognitive dissonance and to abandon journalistic integrity.

Unfortunately, it appears fairly clear that over the past decade, a deeper cognitive dissonance is that of journalists' beliefs about their profession. Journalists seem to believe that Quality News [0] can sustain itself.

News is entertainment. Quality News loses because it commands less engagement than tweets, youtube videos, tv/movie streaming, gaming, and others.

News organizations survive now by aligning their stories with a chosen tribe (liberals, conservatives, whomever) and inflaming the base with rage rhetoric.

Unfortunately, it turns out that people don't really care about truth - it's pretty boring.

[0] Quality News defined however the particular journalist wants to define it (ethical/fair/unbiased/relevant/etc)
Definitely. A huge boon for Netflix to have been included in this group because of the first letter of its name.

Reminds me of the Dow Jones, which is just 30 somewhat-arbitrary companies, and is basically the sum of the stock prices of those companies (yes, that means a $800/share company matters 20X more than a $20/share company).
> They/them is extremely unnatural in American English to refer to a singular person who you’ve seen in person. It requires mental effort and it’s just plain silly.

They/them is almost always appropriate english when the gender of the person being spoken of is unknown. They only change in thinking required is to let go of the assumption that you can determine someone's gender from looking at them or reading their name.
And around that time the Microsoft stock had beeen fairly flat for the previous decade. But the Microsoft of the 2010s isn’t the Microsoft of the 2000s stock wise. The stock has grown quite a lot as well since FAANG was coined.
> there never has been any scientifically well-supported theory showing genetic causes for observable differences of IQ between ethnicities

I feel like this is the key to your argument, but I'm having a hard time understanding what you're trying to say. Theories don't show causes, they attempt to fit data into a mental model that can then be falsified or fail to be falsified.

Are you saying we should reject data because a satisfying theory hasn't been found yet? I don't agree with that principle. In my view, that seems analogous to rejecting the idea of gravity because we don't have a good theory of how it works, or that the data leading to the string theory hypothesis should be discarded because we can't test and falsify string theory.
I’ve never had a a job where that isn’t true. Every interview I’ve done, the hiring manager is in the last round of interviewing. Usually the format is
Recruiter phone screen -> engineer technical interview -> on-site with manager and engineers
I second MAAAM - Meta, Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft
Friends and Seinfeld regularly make headlines for having their syndication rights sold to Streaming Service A or Streaming Service B for $100 kajillion or whatever.
They're the best positioned to do that, they're one of the last classic long tail, high capital investment portions of the industry. Each node is only competitive for a short while, but they have multiple nodes in the development pipeline because of how long it takes, and a misstep on a single node can devastate the whole company if you're not in the #1 spot originally.

So the answer is we don't know it, depends on the management currently at the fab, but they have the right external incentive structure to handle it well.
Seems like this wasn't added until after it was out of theaters.

Why do so many filmmakers go back and mess with classic movies after the fact (Star Wars)?

The confusion I had in understanding which scenes were in the matrix, and which were in the real world, the first time I watched the movie, is a huge part of the movie's appeal to me.
Google to me seems to be the one with the worst execution at the moment. For all of their spend in various areas when is the last time they’ve had a win? Their core business is still strong but they seem to have lost their ability to innovate. That alone makes their decline seem inevitable to me even without considering external forces
Did this missing packages thing happen around the holidays? I bet there was a spike in craziness due to Christmas/the new year. So I don't think that kind of issue shakes my trust in them very much.
> WhatsApp will never go anywhere, it's entrenched. They're big enough to copy novel new social media ideas quickly.

Whilst it hasn’t yet exploded in user growth, I’d disagree with this. Signal and telegram and others have outmaneuvered WhatsApp on features several times now (eg signal had gifs and emoji reactions, not sure if whatsapp even does yet?)

Once you get over the network effect hurdle (no small feat), the switch is frictionless.
Amazon is its own shopping search engine. It won't suffer much even if Google blocks it.

Apple has its own ecosystem and cult. It's safe for the time being.

Google owns advertising, the major mobile OS and search. Anyway all of them could be offered separately in a better way. Advertising and search are easier to overturn than Android.

Facebook is hated but is owns messaging outside Apple's boundary. Network effects protect them but network effects could destroy it as quickly as they built FB's lead.

Netflix can be overturned by any competitor with a cheaper plan.

These are my votes in reverse order.
These are pretty much exactly what I was looking for and I can give up on the automatic leveling in the name of pragmatism :-)
You mean like…Houston? Can you come up with some better examples of a city that does this that doesn’t suck?
Does FB have anything of interest? They missed the platform train. They don't provide infrastructure. And they didn't buy the next big thing before it got there.

All I see is a huge bet on the yet undefined metaverse and declining interest in their current products. I wouldn't predict a quick death, but a drawn out descent in to obscurity.

And to broaden the question: I don't know where Twitter is off to. It is a miserable place but it fills a well defined niche and there's no competition. While I see Microsoft outlasting humanity. There is no way they'll go down before everything else does first.
> what experimental evidence is there that some gene-based approach to a given sociobehavioral problem in humans in general provides a powerful, rigorous solution to that problem?

So Down’s Syndrome is socially constructed?

As for it being a straw man, you’re literally writing that in a thread about someone taking a maximalist position like that.
It's true; it is. This year I bought half of a red angus cow straight from the farm. It turns red when it gets cooked. It's a sight to behold. The stuff you buy at the costco has been frozen and unfrozen at least twice before you buy it. That's already a meaningful difference. They clearly treat it with some sort of coloring agent.

In the 30 years I have cooked meat, nothing can prepare you for real beef that comes straight from the source. If it's USDA approved it ain't right.
That must be a lot of capital.
David Dunning is one of the authors of the article.
Well... Yes, it should. But, no, it seems it does not. I thought about this when typing it but did it anyway, maybe because I thought there is still something worthwhile there.

I still think the model could work if the algorithm is sufficiently different than Google's. Ideally, people would go "I did not find anything I cared about on Google, I know, I'll use Bing!" - but nobody does this, because the results are consistently worse.

Don't get me wrong, I like G as a company, I think they do worthwhile things! But they have left things slip and need competition into this field, I mean real competition, then maybe they would actually address issues.

Maybe the issue is also on the incentive level as well. I mean more searches means more eyeballs and more money for Google. If someone searches one thing and they are done that is less interaction! I hope they don't work like this, but it's possible.

And another possible problem is the opposite. Maybe Google is optimizing search for what it thinks people want, but it uses the wrong metric. Or it gives people what they want but not what they need.
> The "strongest plausible interpretation" is that the author believes LGBT issues should be talked about less.

I disagree. I think the strongest plausable interpretation is that the author believes that the specific LGBT issues getting the most airtime are less important and more trite and divisive than things that are being largely ignored. That the issues themselves are not the focus, but the goal of making corporations more powerful and wrist-slapping individuals for the most mundane slights.

The way I read it has little to do with the issues themselves, but rather that the extreme focus on identity is a powerful tool for keeping the common people fighting with each other while wealth inequality very quietly gets much more and more extreme.

Personally, I am queer and I would like LGBT issues talked about less. They should get some focus for sure, but it's hard for me to see a constant flow of sexuality and gender permeating every facet of discussion and think it isn't excessive. I don't think that my queerness is more important than a lot of other issues, and I don't want my queerness used as a tool by the powerful to turn people against each other and amass even more power, unchecked.

In short, LGBT issues are important, but that does not justify every single pro-LGBT conclusion, talking point, or moralization, and it doesn't justify the amount of constant attention it gets.
I have the same complaint about Netflix.
True, but Netflix has gotten really good at this over the past 10 years. They create/fund some great content (and a lot of mediocre/bad content) - kind of similar to a VC fund now that I'm writing this out. They're an integral component of the entertainment industry now.
Did the instance of the painting change? Or did what was in the art collection change? I don't care of the collection changes, but I might care if people are scribbling on the paintings for whatever reasons. Unlike a Shakespeare show, digital media can be reproduced perfectly for little cost, the fact that multiple unique instances of a theme can be different doesn't mean that we should.
Because

a) the user is generally no longer also the customer.

b) quality of user experience is generally no longer the main driver for actual use
> what's the impact? Not this much surely.

A few months ago there were seventy billion dollars of goods anchored off of LAs docks alone. Some of those were finished goods, but some are intermediate goods.

It's so bad that it's cheaper to make new shipping containers in China than spend the time to return them once they've been used once. We have a glut of practically new containers clogging up our infrastructure.

Even as COVID stopped causing the direct backups, backups propagate all on their own. Like a giant traffic jam and you get to the front and the accident was cleared hours ago.

Yep, this. Exactly like the docs say, you could recover entire directories after an accidental reset, or just avoid having to ctrl+z in your file 40 times.

I've been fortunate to "only" lose about 2-3 hours of work to mis-typing in git in the last year. It could have been 2 days or so if I was unlucky. For 2-3 hours of work it's maybe not worth installing this tool, but I'm definitely thinking about it because it's so much better than potentially losing 2 days.

"Commit often" doesn't work for me a lot of the time, I'd spend up spending almost as much time rebasing and patch committing as I would in dev/refactor. When you're exploring you try 5 things for every one that works, and it's not apparent til later which thing you want to keep. Committing junk every 10 minutes and then committing a rollback for most of it isn't ideal.
There’s too many now though. The producers are getting greedy. I don’t think people will put up with having multiple subscriptions and eventually it’ll all come back down to a few key players.

My money is on Netflix, Prime (because we want the free shipping) and Disney.
Imagine having preexisting heart conditions and getting COVID, which is known to have much higher rates of heart complications.
No, you can join the webring and be still indexed by Google, but the sitelist of the webring cannot be. That’s all. It prevents Google from leeching off the human curation and not paying a fair market value for it. Given that Google makes billions of dollars a year on pagerank data, webring curators got screwed over pretty hard already once by Google twenty years ago, so no reason to allow it again.

> In the United States the Overton Window is so far right even the Democratic Party is center-right.

I'm sorry, but what?

Within the party, they've promoted universal basic income (marxisim), state healthcare, universal education, etc. It's almost completely authoritarian marxist.

They're far left of most of Europe in terms of social policy (LGBTQ+ rights, abortion, drugs, etc) and economic (complete universal education, health, payments, work, etc)

If that's center-left what is left, exactly?
This is reductive to the point of being incorrect. "Social stuff" includes things like maternity leave, childcare, healthcare, incarceration and drug policies. California is proud that they ended sentences of life-without-parole for children in 2017 - and replaced it with life-with-possible-parole-after-25-years, which remains far worse than Denmark permits even for the worst adult crime (life with possible parole after 12 years).
I think it comes down to individual learning style. Here [1] is James Clear tweeting a 3-sentence summary of his book. These ideas totally impacted the way I operate and helped me achieve a lot more than I would have on my own. But I needed to read the book to implement these tactics. If I only read the tweet, I don't think it would have had any long-term impact on me.

I agree that being wordy can be a waste of time! And I agree that many business books blow up small ideas into large books. I also think that sometimes expanding on an impactful insight can help you teach it better.

Individuals are not powerless in this fight. We can use democracy to try to maintain our freedom. The people of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts recently voted to enact the following:

> “Question 1 (2020) required manufacturers that sell motor vehicles equipped with telematics systems to install a standardized open data platform beginning with model year 2022. The initiative defined telematics systems as a system in a motor vehicle that collects information generated by the operation of the vehicle that is then transmitted through wireless communications to a remote receiving point where it is stored. The measure allowed vehicle owners to access telematics system data through a mobile device application and to give consent for independent repair facilities to access that data and send commands to the system for repair, maintenance, and diagnostic testing.”

I do the same. UHD Blu-Rays with HDR look terrible on my non-HDR 4K TV. The colours come out terribly 'flat', and no amount of tweaking the display settings is able to set it right. I'm careful to go with ordinary Blu-Rays instead. Ideally of course I'd rather a non-HDR UHD Blu-Ray but these are increasingly rare.

You'd think the disc players would be smart enough to do a good job mapping HDR to SDR, but here we are.
“For so many things. Need to scan a QR code to enter a building”

So there is a requirement to scan a QR code and there is no option to enter the building for people who don’t have a smart phone?

“or need to display Vaccine status.”

You can’t display your vaccine status without a smart phone?

“My bank now requires I run their mobile App to be able to log in, even if I'm on a PC.”

Is your bank run by the government?

“Most OTP authorisation requires you to receive an SMS code.”

SMS is available on any mobile phone, not just smart phones. Also many SMS OTP implementations include the option to receive a phone call.

“Government departments are now only contactable via the Net, so a smart phone is the minimum unless you have a PC.”

Okay so the government requires you have a computer and internet access, but not a smart phone.
Don't you mean MAANG :D

But its Facebook for sure. If it wasn't for buying Instagram they would circling the drain right now.

Google is the king of search and ads.
Apple is the premium product company and now chip maker.
Netflix is in a saturated market but have proven they can make original content.
Amazon runs the vast majority of the internet on its servers, let alone retail sales.
im going netflix. the sheer amount of services the other companies provide is staggering compared to netflix. The streaming space is very crowded, and netflix has the most expensive pricing while shifting to being dependent on shows they create vs a catalog of others.
