It’s definitely not a commodity in the usual sense that anyone can just buy it. It requires a lot of custom software, and importantly it also requires a lot of negotiations with CDNs and a lot of datacenter buildout to get the requisite amount of points of presence to serve content economically.

But it is a “commodity” in the sense that it’s just a thing that needs to be built to support their product offering, and which other similar companies with similar product offerings have built. Disney+ exists, Hulu exists, Amazon built Prime Video, Google has been operating YouTube for years. If you need to serve streaming video, it’s no longer a groundbreaking feat to be able to do it.
I saw the National Post carried her article as well.

Hopefully she will stay independent, and focus on constructive reporting rather than just reactionary complaining. We see a lot of this in politics, people with what could be good ideas just getting caught up in getting upset and creating outrage about the ridiculous things the other side had done. Better to try and shift the dialog entirely rather than just complain.
I am not a FlexPort customer, but it seems like they are trying to be an online-first (modern) freight forwarder.
That's the least of the Buffy upscaling sins. They replaces sfx with objectively worse ones, they wrecked the colour balance, the cropping is insane. It was also always intended to be 4:3 for the entire run.

efficiency is a misnomer.
is it more efficient to grow some veggies in your backyard, or to have an industrial system?
currently we have efficiency, but do we have health? do we have the lifestyle we want? do we have the future secured? No, No, No.
How do I want the future? Really tasty fruits I cant get in the shops. And I have many. Now that is something efficiency cant get me.

Because it’s just another tip of the iceberg. In reality it’s a concerted effort amongst a certain group of people to add more and more trivial annoyances to normal peoples’ lives to satiate their own desire to control others who they feel don’t deserve to be able to live their lives in peace. Because misery loves company.

It all adds up. You can attempt to minimize it all you want but it’s like the person who nitpicks everything: “can I have 3 ice cubes? Oh when you make my sandwich can you go light on the salt? Hey I know this is your house but could you turn that music down a bit? Boy it’s cold in here… you should turn up the heat! Wow you take these vitamins? You should be taking these instead! Oh hey I know I’m obviously a girl but can you refer to me as they? I want you to have to think hard before you use my pronouns and make sure you remember each person’s custom pronouns. Wait, why are these little trivial comments bothering you? It’s not some massive festering grievance. Just deal with it it’s no big deal, it’s common decency to adhere to all of my requests. :)”

Pronoun-memers tend to claim they are more sensitive to feelings. Therefore they should be sensitive to most of the world’s feelings of general annoyance around the current pronoun meme.
The most direct message it sends is that even though everyone can start in the same place with the same resources, chance will ultimately and quickly lead every other player being in debt to the winner. Georgism is a socialism, believing that land is part of the common-wealth, so it should be rented, not owned.
Which social network?

The area where I struggle to find good products the most is photography. There are three tough problems I have with online reviews.

(1) Many reviewers do not know what they are talking about at all. They put the paper in upside down, post a photo of the resulting blotchy mess to BestBuy.com and then return it. There is always some fraction of online reviews you have to discount because the people don't know how how to use the gear, have unrealistic expectations or both.

(2) Some devices seem to have manufacturing problems that affect some but not all users. 10 years ago when I was a Canon shooter I thought this was true about many Sigma lenses for Canon bodies. Maybe 10% of people got a bad lens with an unreliable autofocus. It's hard to tell if these people got a bottom of the barrel lens or if they are bottom of the barrel shooters.

(3) Some things are just hard to know. After about six months of using an Epson EcoTank printer I found out that the ink noticeably in about six months. This fact was recorded on this website

http://wilhelm-research.com/

which I didn't consult because you usually don't think about lightfastness until it becomes a problem to you. Looking for my next printer I found that I couldn't count on any particular printer having been reviewed by them since they only run tests if somebody sponsors them. (The manufacturer if the results are good, a competitor if the results are bad. This particular ink is remarkably bad, but the refill ink from Staples fades in 3 weeks.)

My ordinary social network of family, friends, co-workers, etc. doesn't contain a lot of photographers so I don't care what these people think about photography gear. At photography forums I find people who have the gear in question and seem to be at my level of skill or greater and seem to value things the way I do. One person I trust in that way is worth a lot.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies didn't in any way damaged or removed anything from Pride and Prejudice though. The book is still there for everyone to enjoy.

The movie was also a commercial failure, I'm not sure we would end up with so much junk if it doesn't sell.
Death of the author and spouse. No need for it to transfer any farther then that.
This is exactly what Disney did do though; Snow White, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Pinocchio; to become a massive corp. And now that they are a massive Corp that just can buy the rights to any copyrighted material locking out competitors. Imagine if others had the chance to compete.

Singular “they” isn’t wrong if the subject is indefinite in either gender or number.

However, it’s absolutely wrong when used as a definite personal pronoun, as it introduces new, irresolvable ambiguity where none existed before; e.g.

I just heard Tom and Harry are getting a new puppy; I just ran into them while they were walking their dog.

If you do not allow for singular definitive “they”, the meaning is clear.

If you do allow for singular definitive “they”, whose dog is it, and who did you run into — Tom, Harry, or both Tom and Harry?

The problem with “personal pronouns” is that they aren’t personal in the first place — pronouns exist exist solely for the benefit of the speaker and the listener, not the subject.

They allow for two people in a conversation to refer back to an antecedent succinctly and unambiguously. That’s all. If they can’t do that anymore, they’re just extra noise.
> What do you think their advantage comes from?

Scale. This applies to processing regulation and also to purchasing power, organizational ability and much else besides.

> Half their advantage comes from the complexity and stupidity of financial regulations

No doubt that excessive regulation is a burden and regulatory capture is a thing. "Half their advantage" overlooks all of their other advantages.

The fact is, regulation is hard to get right. It's generally a good idea to avoid over-regulating, but there are real dangers to under-regulation as well.
Ask HN: Are You Complying with Colorado's Equal Pay for Equal Work Act?
In 2021, Colorado passed a law called the Equal Pay for Equal Work Act that require all businesses to post salary ranges for every job posting. This applies to EVERY remote job that might be taken by a Coloradan. If you are hiring remote workers, are you in compliance? Are you ignoring it until someone complains? Have you never heard of it?

Copper _wire_ requires you to be able to draw wire, not just refine copper. I'm not sure if the ancient Greeks knew how to do that.
Just for the record, I'm in at least mild agreement that search is looking increasingly vulnerable. Google are falling down here.

It's just that "search" is really a web of interrelated services, capabilities, and revenue streams, and they tend to reinforce each other strongly. I'd like to see the monopoly disrupted.[1] But I don't think it's just a matter of "build a better mousetrap^Wsearch engine." Attack one corner, and Google will snipe at you from the others.

And with the AdWords cash cow, they've got an immense revenue stream.

________________________________

Notes:

1. Well, mostly. Google's acquired so goddamned much personal data that the premise is frankly kind of terrifying as well --- a weakened Google with neither the revenues nor talent to defend that pile.... And I'd really like to see the toppling occur without simply raising a new monopoly in its place.
A restriction I put on myself early on that has served me VERY well:

No social media on the phone, period. Also, no notifications from anything that doesn't come directly from a human I know personally, to the extent possible.

Don't worry, you can still waste huge amounts of time on the computer too, like I do. :) Seriously, I'm relatively comfortable with my facebook/twitter use, though even that I need to adjust.
This is really cool, would love to see this sugar cube running Doom. But unless I'm missing something he doesn't say anything about how to go about building this thing?
How many of these people complained about the cable bundle? I dropped cable and have a few streaming services and save $50+ a month. (No, I don't have live TV which would bring it back up to close to my previous rate.)
Dead creators can't create new works. The primary purpose of copyright, to my mind, is to incent the creation of new works for the ultimate benefit of humanity.

I'd like to see "life plus" sunset over a period of years, allowing those who "banked" on that business model to still benefit while decreasing the copyright term after death until it's eventually eliminated.

Removing copyright-after-death gradually discourages the business model you describe. It makes sense, to me, to ease into that gradually.

Does the end of copyright-after-death mean some works won't be created? Maybe. Some people might not create new works if their estate can't profit after their death.

Eliminating copyright-after-death opens the door for new derivative works sooner. I think there's potential for more new works to be created with copyright ending at death. More creators can build upon the old work versus a single creator toiling at the end of their life.

I am of the camp, ultimately, that wants to see the U.S. Constitution's original copyright terms restored (and the requirement for registration and renewal). I think it will need to be a gradual process if only to allow those who have (unfairly, in my mind) lobbied for effectively infinite copyright terms to die.
I love this idea, and have been interested in seeking out opportunities to teach or aid in education in general. I'm afraid I'm not familiar enough with HN to know how to send you a message other than a comment, but I'd be intrigued to hear more about what you have in mind.
Ohh that makes more sense, thanks.
>Things like producing millions of acres of corn to produce corn syrup and animal feed for fast food burgers are things that the "artisinal" food community sort of looks down upon

I know you were just providing one example, but this doesn't seem like an outrageous position to me. That's a lot of resource use for some food that causes myriad health problems in our society. Seems like we'd all be better off just eating the corn and then would be able to use a lot less food.

I don"t disagree with your wider point about industrial vs. family farming, though.

Because you need a user base to make the software carry itself.

Also from a power point of view 7W is pretty much what we have to play with if everyone is going to have one powered on permanently.

How naive. This encourages killing off an author with a hitman so you can swoop in and steal extremely valuable intellectual property.

What, are you going to make an exception for authors killed in grisly murders of mysterious circumstances? Imagine if instead of paying George Lucas billions for the rights to Star Wars Disney just had him killed off for a fraction of the price.
I think maybe my comment wasn't really clear. I know the pro-diversity comments had a lot of upvotes, what I was pointing out was that they were nerfed by a moderation tool or algorithm, not by downvotes, as evidenced from going from the top comment to the very last comment in the thread within a few seconds.

Well first you'd have to teach him algebra, and even that would probably be impressive. Have you ever read Euclid's Elements? The notation is horrific, way harder to work with than modern algebra.
Medical advice should be provided by doctors, not politicians, activists, or bureacrats. Doctors have specific ethical training and guidelines by which they're qualified to make judgments about safety and relative risks for individuals.

Consider that polio vaccination was never framed and exploited by political parties playing despicable red vs blue games with the public. The results, driven by information campaigns devoid of partisan politics, were a nearly universal state of vaccination, driving the disease more or less extinct. Trust in doctors and medical institutions was high and relatively untrammeled by partisan games.

The second that coronavirus vaccination became a political shibboleth for team blue, the current state of vaccine resistance became inevitable. Both parties are responsible for a lot of unnecessary death and suffering because of their willingness to never let a good crisis go to waste.

Throw in the general decline and corruption of institutions, lack of trust in public health agencies and even doctors in general, and you've got a mess of hyperpartisan unvaccinated conservative folks being shrieked at by the clueless but vaccinated team blue, and nobody credible or trusted able to bring the situation back to something resembling sanity.
I'd rather do away with it entirely, but under capitalism, I would reduce it to 7-10 years though initially it was 14 years.

They're obviously letting their DVD back catalog rot. I resubscribed for a while during early pandemic but so much is just not available. So, yeah, I just buy DVDs from time to time or pay for a la carte rentals.
Your point seem to be a rant about US social policies and is easily disproved by the fact that similar copyright terms existing in Europe where those things aren't the same.
I realize that this is a hard thing to 'prove', but I am personally certain that the amount and quality of such things has dropped significantly from a decade ago.

Not to zero. You can still find things tucked away in a post on reddit or the like. Almost never, as far as I have experienced, on Facebook or its ilk, as the affordances are different. I genuinely think there has been a loss.

Well what if there is a side effect that kills them? What if that person already got covid and was barely affected by it?

Forcing them to get the vaccine is crazy, especially when it doesn’t behave how the other vaccines do, and vaccinated people are both getting it and spreading it, albeit with far less severe symptoms than the unvaccinated person on average.

I think vaccines are amazing, these new covid ones, look to be reducing the symptoms of covid.

The idea of forcing it on folks when even vaccinated people are spreading it is absurd.
"Building schools" always sounds dumb or even scammy to me. What is a school building, really? Surely running a school is the hard part (assuming the students can afford to go to school to begin with).
