I figured that by inside your living room they were referring to streaming rather than to disc rental. I agree that disc rental services (regardless of provider, in my experience) have very good selections.

Eh, in his situation I would have probably attempted the macguyver approach knowing full well if it fails I'm just back in the hoofing it situation.

10 days of water in the desert probably becomes a lot less when you're hauling it without a combustion engine assisting. I've done a lot of manual labor in the mojave. When rebuilding a roof in July I was going through 5-10 gallons a day - and that's not dragging heavy shit across the wilderness.

I doubt the motorcycle rode particularly well, it probably more resembled a self-powered wheeled sled for precariously carrying him and his supplies with less effort than without fire. My assumption is it tipped over often and was quite graceless...

Demand did go up, after the market adjusted to projections that with everyone in lock-down, demand for cars would go down. Demand for in home entertainment was projected to go up. Auto makers sold their capacity to people who were projected to use it in lock-down friendly ways. Once reality set in it was to late to get the capacity back.
> I usually reply that it's an illegal question where I live.

It’s not. Questions about race or origin are allowed in France with some conditions; it’s a common misconception that they are prohibited. For example, it’s fine to ask which race you feel you belong to, or any similar subjective question [1, p.70].

Unless there will be another communication platform that could capture a good chunk of Facebook's users, Facebook is here to stay. A lot of Facebook features are just very difficult to implement in other platforms nowadays. One example is group messaging. WhatsApp has users from a wide range of age groups and no other platforms could easily compete with that. Communicating with our family, regardless of their age group, is a very crucial part of our culture and Facebook fills that gap. Another example is online selling. Buy-and-sell groups are thriving in Facebook because it's so easy to publish your products and immediately communicate with your potential customers. For example, in the Southeast Asian region, Facebook took a large chunk of users from Carousell, the most popular online selling platform there for years before Facebook released Marketplace. Even for me personally, I've tried to stop using Facebook for several months but in my home country, Facebook is just too integrated in its culture.
It seems like the hardest part isn't world model -> prose (still hard tbc), but prose -> world model. There have been games for a long time that let you interact with a world model via simple verb + object statements (e.g. "get key", "search chest"), but the power of GPT3-style AI dungeons isn't just that it handles longer, more natural text input, it's that there are no restrictions on the (short-term, incoherent) world model they use to generate responses. If you want to "throw key at the biggest goblin", you'll get a response that's coherent (in the short term) instead of an error saying that you can't do that with keys.

When you pair a better, prosier text input-response system with a procedural world model, if the procedural world model is built like existing ones you'll still have to deal with restrictions in the world's content and the valid interactions between constituents. At which point all that fancy AI makes for a more natural parser but doesn't add any richness to the game world, which is the thing we'd like to get at.

If anyone has ideas for how to solve the prose -> world model problem, that could be super fun and rewarding to work on, probably so much so that they wouldn't be sharing them here :(

Was referring to above; Netflix didn't create any of those. But yes, over time they'll have old entries in the Netflix catalog.

Their first original (House of Cards) was only 9 years ago
Over the past ten years, there's been a weird collaboration between centrists and right-wingers to define not being a bigot as being left-wing and being a bigot as being right-wing. So corporate PR has transformed huge employers and the finance industry into left-wingers, and when right-wingers complain about being silenced, they're specifically talking about being censored about race and gender.

This creates the false drama. Instead, what the US has is two liberal parties, one trying to also appeal to a base of evangelical whites and the other trying to appeal to people who aren't white. Both are trying to pass the same liberal policies, policies that I hope you aren't trying to associate with some 67% silent majority. 67% of people aren't against antitrust enforcement or free health care.

I realize you're just using that as an expression, but I recently watched an old Columbo episode [1] that featured just that, and if it were true it would be the literal dumbest thing.

Well, if it really bothers someone when someone else uses the wrong pronoun, they could always just politely ask. Just like people with hard-to-pronounce foreign names. And if someone else refuses, you know, just don't be friends with that guy - be professional, to-the-point and spend your free time with the people that share your values.

If you actually have a great home, friends, hobbies, and are generally happy about your life, someone using the wrong pronoun or giving you a weird look shouldn't bother you more than an unexpected rainy day. The problem is that most people that are vocal about pronouns are actually deeply unhappy, and the HR has sold them the bullshit pill that devoting your life to correcting others will somehow make you happier.

Or you could agree to disagree on pronouns, and agree to agree on pursuit of financial independence like in the good old times. Easy common goal. After all, you don't care if your colleague likes heavy metal while you love rock, as long as they can reliably answer questions that would otherwise take you days to research.
I'm curious, was any of the shortage due to Chinese companies preparing for sanctions?

My armchair/couch analysis says that I see way more new, worthwhile content appear on a regular basis on Netflix than on Disney+. Disney does have arguably better content, and the theme parks are certainly a whole different market from Netflix's limited content and content delivery market, though. Disney+ seems to get much less frequent "new" content.

EDIT: Although, I forgot they own Hulu. We use Hulu about as much as Netflix :) They get content at a good pace.
Sorry I meant something else, can't wrap my head around to recall the name...
Their content is seemingly getting worse. And with everyone entering the market likely not going to get better. So inhouse content is one thing, but many people want most of movies and so on from one place.
> 3. Supply chains had also all gone to a JIT model to keep inventories lower. This was a huge source of efficiencies, but made them vulnerable to a demand shock.

I think it's worth emphasizing this - all of the other issues you describe are correct, but what's allowing individual disruptions to turn into a global crisis is a lack of buffering between components of the individual systems. This is a known issue with JIT, and in some ways it's factored into the models - assuming one bad year in ten, 9 very good years can still be more profitable than 10 pretty good years - but it widens the possible set of outcomes and allows for these kinds of cascading failures, which makes it harder for one institution to model or plan around.
In the US, it would be required that the doctors report it to the VAERS database. There is no need to prove any causal relationship, since that is basically impossible anyway. It doesn't really make sense that Denmark would require you to prove it either, since the data gathering is really the only tool to get evidence of causation.
That a broadcaster with approximately twice the government funding is delivering a better service is not a great argument to cut funding, you could even say that it is the opposite.

CBC get $31,807,419 CAD per million capita from the government.[0]

NHK get $61.293.417 CAD per million capita from license fees.[1]

CBC may be awful compared to NHK, but your argument loses power when you have not looked up information like this.

Danish Radio gets $114.787.353 CAD per million capita from the government which is more than both the above, and they also have a great collection of shows and movies available to stream. [2]

Fine, I meant "woke stuff" that excites Twitter so much and makes so many non-Twitterati confused and perplexed.

What you mention used to be a typical left-wing agenda, but is increasingly being utterly forgotten by the younger generations of left-wing politicians.
By 'free press' here I think you mean state sponsored and/or corporate 'news' outlets.
The internet has transcended these last century print and broadcast foundationed constructs long ago, but their owners prop up their mastheads as though they are still the top tier of 'fact checked' integrity, despite the fact they are now in some cases sloppier than the Drudge Report ever was.

Rich people are abusing opioids, Ritalin, Aderall, ecstasy. They are more likely to avoid meth and fent, and pay for quality (though you are right, they can be cheated). The homeless are much more vulnerable to bad drugs that have worse long term effects, especially conditions that are often associated with mental illness.
I think 'equity' is such an unfortunate choice of term. This usage popped up in the mainstream and then exploded all over in the last couple of years. I'm sure it was chosen for its phonetic adjacency to 'equality'. I haven't seen and concrete definitions for the usage, just borderline-meme webcomic illustrations of people looking over a fence at a baseball game. I believe understand the meaning, that being that equality before the law does not account for material quality of life imbalances arising from unquestionable historical wrongdoing. It seems to be most frequently used in describing the relationship of Black and Indigenous Americans to Americans of European "white" descent.

My big issue with it is that the word 'equity' has an extremely important financial meaning that many of the people wielding the new usage are unfamiliar with or don't know at all. There are lots of young people who don't have 'nu-equity' and are woefully ignorant of the overwhelming influence the accounting equation and cash flow valuation has on their lives. Teaching this new vague definition of 'equity' is going to divorce so many people from ever having productive conversations about wealth. Already, lots of people I follow in finance (white and nonwhite, male and female, immigrants and natural born) are dismissing this kind of language out-of-hand.

Or, perhaps I am wrong. Maybe this new usage of equity points, in fact, to exactly the same thing as the legacy financial definition. The activists want shares and they demand them now. I have not seen anything to support this identity, but maybe the meaning isn't too far off.

I don't hate the idea of explicitly stating pronouns, especially online, because I had to interact with people with particularly ambiguous names (happens often in very international environments).

> In truth, they just aren't very smart. And worse, they are quite confident they are indeed very smart.

It's not about whether they're smart people or not, it's about whether they're smarter than the problem they're trying to solve.

I, aware of the risk of Dunning-Kruger effect, nonetheless consider myself to be a pretty smart guy. I'm a well-educated a computer engineer; I score well in interviews, in exams, and also in Trivial Pursuit. But the steel, silicon, and copper that I work with and am respected for is highly predictable. Electrons and hydraulic fluid are intimidating to a layman but with a bit of education and experience can be broken down into understandable subcomponents and reliable mathematics.

Back in school, we engineers with our mathematical, physics-based hard science liked to denigrate the 'soft science' employed in educational, social, and political fields. However, after further growth, I've come to realize that physics is simple and people are really, really complicated.

I have been developing software with a focus on web professionally since 2007, and as a hobby since 2000. I've gone from junior, to senior, to tech lead, project manager, and finally my current position is CTO (4 man team, so actively coding as well) in a Mexican biotech/tech startup in the food production industry.

Looking for a step down in responsibility, with a focus on being a senior developer/system architect/mentor and similar, as this is where I feel my skills are most useful.

You should look into how movie licensing works on Netflix, or any network like cruise ships, or airplanes, for example. Each movie is owned by some company that will license it out for a fee, based on length of time and estimated audience size.

I couldn't care less. People hacking up things are a rounding error compared to the rest of the motoring public. If your vehicle is capable of meeting the performance expectations of everyone else I don't care what you drive. If your horse and buggy, ebike conversion, etc. can do highway speed and get there within the distance of the merge lane then feel free to ride that crap on the interstate. Likewise I don't see why anyone should be disallowed from driving heavy equipment on slow city and residential streets where it can keep up.

That doesn't match up with reality. Take climate change for example. The left was fine with coal until it became proven that it is a major accelerant to climate change. It isn't change for the sake of change. In a similar vein, the right may choose an action because it is convenient, not necessarily because it is tried and true. Not only does what you say not follow, it describes nothing by definition.

That being said it isn't a good look to simplify these perspectives as "the left" and "the right" as people do not really act within the confines of those labels.
Didn't Mythbusters do this one already?
In our household if it is not on Netflix, Amazon Prime (since I have that for work purposes anyway), or YouTube, it doesn't exist. We are not going to subscribe to Disney, CBS, or anything else. The kids can watch old Disney movies on DVD.
I believe I found the Forbes article you mentioned. It's exactly the kind of thing that one wouldnt want to bubble to the surface.

1) Its by a forbes contributor, who makes listicles for a living. https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbes-personal-shopper/people/...

2) It does not appear the person writing the review actually purchased any of the knives. The article is an assembly of quotes from Chefs. While Chefs do have domain knowledge, and probably sometimes have good opinions, theres no way to tell if any are sponsored by different knife brands. It's not a REVIEW comparing the actual products, its somebody who googled chef knife quotes and cut/paste a page together. The review itself does NOTHING to actually compare the products to each other.

That reverse racism, especially against Asians, is real?
Simply that that's where this type of thinking leads, once you begin reducing living people into the category of "too many".

I think it's okay if you want to pay people not to have children. I don't have kids and it annoys me to pay for other people's kids. But when you begin speaking of the world in terms of overpopulation -- of too many living people -- the next question is "who should be eliminated?"

So who do you think should be eliminated? I think if you hate your own kind enough to want them dead, then you've gone too far -- this road leads you to become like the sociopathic racist.

Have they done any monetization on WhatsApp yet? Which is ~2 billion users. They could literally add a few billion in revenue by showing a single text ad once per day or similar. That's not counting the fact that instagram is still basically in hyper-growth mode globally and facebook (the webpage/app) is still growing in every market except the US.

Agree that (very) long term they'll need the VR/AR market to take off and capture a significant portion of that to stay on top of the digital ad business along with Google.
I don't think this is correct. The 15% or so self employment tax is only for the first 147k income (2022). The rest is more like 3%.
They don't have to buy it before it got there, they can buy it after it got there.

The fact that they're taking their least popular product, VR, and making that their main focus, seems to show they're not resting on their laurels.

>but are they better than pirating?

Absolutely not. I am absolutely confident of that statement. One box of drives, a small machine to act as a Plex server, and VPN is all you need. Pre-made, high quality tools exist to automate everything. It's almost completely friction-less.

Pirating is easier, better, and faster now than it has ever been. The push to splinter streaming services is only speeding up its adoption, again. Cable is the old cable, streaming services are the new cable, but with more barriers and more difficult setup.
