It’s great that the article starts with what’s right about copyrights. I also agree that copyrights last too long at the moment, they could be shortened a bit.

> But this system has its limitations. I’ll highlight three that are particularly important: Intellectual property rights can result in fewer people enjoying the product than would be efficient. They can be expensive to determine and enforce. And they can ultimately create a kind of drag on the whole economy if too many of the economy’s rewards are for work that was done in the distant past.

I like the 3rd reason, but don’t find the first two very compelling. We can make enforcement less expensive, having it be costly is a reason to make copyrights stronger, not a great reason to ditch the system. This is already happening in some ways online, sites like YouTube allow crowd-source reporting of breaches, for better or worse. Yes, it’s being abused and there are problems, but it is in fact cheaper than going to court.

> The first-order consequences of online piracy are that you are better off, and nobody is worse off.

Copyright law is specifically founded on the principle that this is not true, and it is why being sued for copyright breach explicitly does not depend on the creator making money on the thing being copied. (It helps if there’s clear financial damage, but is by no means necessary.) Coming from a site on economics, this assertion seems particularly troubling. Taking something of value without paying for it is still stealing, there is economic harm, and it’s irrelevant whether the creator is deprived of something tangible. Even the author acknowledges that if there were no copyrights, it would be economically damaging, and the entire reason why is because there is harm done when pirating, and we’re trying to balance that harm with the good.

> We can ultimately reject an online piracy model, at least for some works, because we worry about the second-order incentive effects of creators not getting paid. But then we miss out on the good first-order consequences of distributing the work to anyone who wants it.

Interesting framing that reverses first-order and second-order effect, again problematic from an economics perspective. Paying buyers of copies are the first-order primary economy for copies. What economic “first-order” good does distributing free copies to anyone who wants it do? I’m in favor of being able to incorporate and remix works after some time, but unlimited free copies immediately after creation would be first-order bad.

I’m asking for evidence that colonialism caused African governments to be unstable. If Africa hasn’t been colonized, what would the continent be full of countries with stable governments today?
There's another mechanism at play. It wasn't always there.

Take Max and Dave Fleischer cartoons of the 1920s and 1930s. They'd star black singers like Cab Calloway, make references to LGBT subculture, premiere immigrants, Jewish characters, and the full spectrum of society. They were engaged with integrating live action and animation and experimenting with the film as art form.

Compare that to say Walt Disney, the most whitewashed family friendly content.

And it wasn't just "Hayes code", there's something deeper in how people want to relate to their entertainment. Adventurous narratives that challenge people's assumptions doesn't seem to be what people are looking for when they are relaxing from a hard day

I've always said that I have a 5 season rule--especially with network-length 20 episode seasons. Hit somewhere in that vicinity and I'm tired of the setting, style, and characters. There are a number of series who got to the 5, 6, 7 season point and even though they didn't necessarily "jump the shark" I just got less and less interested in them and eventually stopped watching.

I actually really like the fact that streaming helps allow for limited runs with episodes of the length that they want to be though one always hopes that a series ends at a natural point.

All great points! For the type of work I'm thinking of (mostly offline data processing) I use caches in a much more limited way than you suggest. A short-lived local LRU cache on an expensive pure function over immutable data can significantly reduce our resource costs without adding significant complexity to the code. In some cases, DP would be more efficient but would require a mode of thinking and abstraction that's very different from most of our code.
stick your finger in and see if it is black with humus!
But the 1ms number is also measured with strace.

Plus, the article is in 2015, and the author did not mention the CPU and other configuration. So that also make things muddy.
I haven't had a cable subscription in years. I think almost 5 or 6 years now. It's been a combination of streaming, movie rentals (streaming), and BitTorrent downloads.

And yes, it definitely can be cheaper if you willing to actively manage what subscriptions you need and don't need one month at a time.
>Why the hell does netflix has so many upvotes?

I contributed to this. My first thought was that netflix doesn't really have special sauce anymore. They exist in a highly competitive market and lack the back catalog of established media companies. As a result, they end up paying way too much money for both new shows, and established ones.

On the other side of the coin, they can't compete with the volume of free content that is created by YouTube.

It's pretty easy to start a streaming service today, and many specialized streaming services have been successful.

In my person experience, my NF usage has gone to zero, being replaced with YouTube, Nebula, and HBOMax, with the occasional hop onto Prime for the odd rental. And I was as big of a NF diehard as any; I was paying for streaming since they started offering it.
Wouldn't it be reasonable from Google to show how their ranking algorithms work so all webmasters and content creators know how to behave on the web. Now we have black box that's causing confusion and is misdirecting websites and web users.
They might as well be. Making a rule and enforcing it are very different things, and in many schools, enforcing cell phone rules is so impractical that teachers and administrators don't even try very hard anymore.

It partly comes back to parents: if parents won't support a rule, it isn't practical for the school to enforce it. Sometimes what the kids are distracted by on their phone is a non-urgent text from their parents! (Not that there is such a thing as an urgent text... that's what phone calls are for, and parents can always call the main office if an urgent message needs to be conveyed)
Ask HN: Are you happy with your current job?
I know some jobs feel like a grind on some days, but for those who have a legitimate, heaving disinterest every work day, how do you get to the end? What pushes you to the next day?
Sure. The roots of racism and what makes/made America racist are a lot more complicated. For an individual racist that is a result of the "speech" they have been exposed to over their life time. Assuming you believe people aren't born racist.
I used to work for UPS and tried to understand Flexport business model, but could not find any value that Flexport bringing to the table. Can someone explain to me what value Flexport is bringing ?
There was a period about that time (1980s early 1990s) where a number-forwarding service existed (uncertain of the name), advertised as being able to forward your phone to a restaurant or barbershop. The basic idea was that your calls could follow you around town.

(Or be diverted by someone else, one supposes... WCPGW?)
They do cite Drexler's early nanotechnology work... as more or less the newest citation for "hey, something like this can be built."

It's really disappointing that rather key aspects of this are more or less ignored. There's not much of an analysis of things like what force propagation looks like, gate delay issues, mechanical energy losses due to heat, etc. I'm surprised there isn't anything like an analysis of macro-scale linkages to try to estimate what these things looked like if they were shrunk down to scale (even though, as you say, things don't work at that scale like they do at the macroscale).
I'm not sure I agree with you, but it can vary with the time period being considered and for me it's been a long time.

Also worth noting that while many in Seattle complain about housing costs, cost of living is much lower than in the bay area. That was definitely part of my calculus for accepting an MS offer years ago.
Netflix has a huge amount of content with pro paedophile tendancies. So many of their shows have underage sex or themes thereof. I have yet to see anyone catalogue these, only point them out in favourite shows.

(Aware of the cuties debacle, but this is a rather overt example, aforementioned are sometimes subtle.)
I know this is pedantic but it's less about 'believing' and more looking at the hard evidence and news presented at the times that copyright was extended.

>Are you Romanian? Because your comment seems like one of those jokes about aliens seeing humans cooking and then reproducing what the humans are creating, but without the taste, because their monitoring doesn't capture that.

Are you Romanian? Does one have to be Romanian to know Romanian history? Are the rest of the world ignorant to our comings and goings? Do only Romanian opinions on Romania count? Will a Romanian shepherd's opinion on the economy be more accurate than a professional Economist that just so happens to be unfortunate enough to not be born Romanian?

>Other than that, Romania's growth was fake from many aspects and almost no Romanian alive at the time will agree with you that the 80s where better for Romania, economically, than the 70s.

Romania's growth wasn't fake.

Yes, it was an economy geared towards exporting to other bloc countries. The act of exporting caused an economic boom for the country relative to other countries. Budgets were growing, more goods were being produced, and lots of money was being made year over year, but this money wasn't being redistributed back to Romanians. It was lining pockets of party members and used on megalomaniac projects, while food shortages and blackouts were increasingly common because most goods were produced for exporting. Ceausescu incompetently and ignorantly tightened the belt too much. His party members lied to him, and the delusion of the country's prosperity was no longer sustainable. This eventually resulted in a massive disconnect that we all know the end result of.

Finally, people were worse off in the 90s than the 80s. Everything was scrapped and industry in the country essentially died overnight. Whatever profitable entities existed were sold off. random314's comment is correct. No history was rewritten.

The fact that it felt worse for you, a Romanian, in the 80s isn't a result of a lack of growth. It's a result of austerity measures designed to increasingly deprive you while the benefits of growth were distributed unevenly.
Microsoft, Apple, Netflix, Alphabet, Meta, Amazon

Works for me.
Let's just sort out the color grading versions:

The one with the blown out highlights and leaning often way too much into the blue is the most recent remastered version done for the UHD BD release. Beside a few scenes outside the matrix it is the version furthest away from the theatrical presentation. It's the only one currently available in UHD though.

The green tint version is the color grading that was done to bring the first movie in line with the planned look of the sequels. This is the HD version most people know and was widely available on DVD and of course on BD. It was not well done, as digital color correction was in its infancy back then and there are many issues with the color grading overall - but never received an official correction. This is version was also used for digital screening later on.

Now onwards to how the movie actually looked theatrical:

The theatrical release looked very close to the first R1 NTSC DVD (well as far as telecining goes of course) - and only this one (VHS and LaserDisc are naturally more off). Cannot speak for other than US releases though. Also the same version as on the initial R1 DVDs was broadcasted on cable at least back 2000/2001 in HD. Minor differences, but more off than the DVDs (looks like color space conversion round trip from Rec.709 to 601, back to 709), though unless you have a trained eye for color grading and a reference like display you probably won't notice the sublte differences here at all.

Anyway, the theatrical release does not have the the strong green tint as released later. It has a slight green and an amber vibe instead (to reflect amber and green monochrome monitors), but not as pronounced as the later release most people know from BD and streaming services or later DVD releases. In fact the green is very sublte, but giving you a monochromic vibe back in the days and the amber is more pronounced, sometimes almost yellowish, but not reddish. Some scenes are almost neutral. It gives you the best impression how the movie looked in cinemas when it came out, though due to telecine it is naturally a bit off. Some of the green is getting lost and the amber is tad more pronounced than it should be. How do I know that exactly? I have an EK print in my collection.

Don't get fooled by some scans of 35mm you see on youtube. Even though you can still the absence of the strong green tint, the print from which these scenes came are way off in color as these prints already deteriorated. And most companies offering scan services do some color correction as the prints are often really bad that people buy.

What is the best version? Take your poison. None is probably how it was envisioned. For theatrical they couldn't achieve the look with classic color timing and digital color correcion was not really feasible in 99. Then with the sequels they overdid it, with the new toy "digital color correction" and the recent UHD remaster when totally overboard emulating a bad 35mm scans often for whatever reason. The vision probablty lies between theatrical and BD somewhere. I personally always prefer theatrical, but well what do you expect from people collecting actual prints...

We’re talking about morality in the context of this article, since abortions based on this testing are legal in the United States and most other developed countries.
No one is pretending that it presents a philosophical conundrum -- it is exactly that.

The vast majority of people would appear to miss this conundrum entirely and thereby never consider the fallibility and corruptibility of fact-checkers and/or experts.

If you do not agree with this viewpoint fine, but to try to attribute deceit ("pretending" in your words) to anybody who thinks differently about it from you seems really odd and highly presumptuous to me.
I'd love that too, although I wonder if some of the negative behaviors that emerge in social media are more inherent to human nature than the implementation of the media... Which is not to say current companies are doing all they should, but I suspect preventing these behaviors will be a genuine challenge for anyone attempting to implement any form of social media. I could see myself contributing though if there was a promising project in progress.
Yes, but if there are almost no syscalls, then strace is doing a lot less.

What is invisible to most consumers about Amazon is that they have a massive footprint across the entire supply chain for a wide and growing range of consumer good categories. Brands have been slowly outsourcing various parts of their production processes to Amazon. Amazon manages these parts of the business much more efficiently, and in a more integrated way, than what brands were doing before so it is both attractive and sticky. Many new brands are purely virtual organizations with almost everything built on top of Amazon's ecosystem -- virtual brands were always a thing, but Amazon has made it nearly frictionless.

Because of this, I expect them to make a ton of money off consumer retail even if their marketplace fades into the background. The brand management business on Amazon has been growing like crazy too, which pretty much assures Amazon will always be taking their dollar.
Because lawyers and publicists cost $$$ and the payoff is indirect and broadly dispersed across population and time, rather than arriving in the form of a check. It would require at the least 10s of millions in lobbying expenses, and raising that amount of money in the name of an abstraction is likely a non-starter.

You could run a piracy website that only offered works more than X years old, where X is some popular proposal for a reasonable term, and then fight a test case. To my mind the best legal argument against the current regime is that the Constitution's specification of 'limited time' copyright has been extended to be longer than the median human lifetime, thus making it effectively perpetual for most humans in the US; this also hinders the formation of a constituency for shorter periods because fewer and fewer people have had the experience of seeing a work they admired at the time of publication subsequently enter the public domain.

But realistically, any test case is likely to fail because higher courts would probably just say 'the term might be effectively infinite for people but it's short in the lifetime of a nation and corporations are arguably immortal so no media giveaway for you peons.'
Don't know why I read this - it's a very loose argument about suppression of information without any facts and finger wagging at media/govt feedback loop. The sources of information are three sources of wikipedia loosely defending Dr. Peter A. McCullough of Joe Rogan lore (clearly he's getting a lot of earned media right now).
Rural birth rates plummeted so there are fewer potential workers. Add to that the methamphetamine and opioid epidemics and the pool of potential domestic farm workers is tiny. The ones that do the work are the ones that love the lifestyle.

That means that even small farmers lean hard on H-2B to pick up the slack. Interestingly those wages are actually pretty competitive: around $12 an hour plus room and board.
