I think the key point is that streaming companies don't think of it as "our customers are paying us a subscription fee and then our catalog is free to them", but rather as "our customers are paying us a percentage of their subscription fee for each thing they watch".

In terms of figuring out their own cash flow, most of these sorts of subscription services divvy up the subscription fee from each customer between everything that customer consumed from the service during the month. So if you've paid a $10 monthly fee and then only watch one movie, the company interprets that as you paying $10 to watch that movie. If you watch two movies, then you've paid $5 to watch each movie. (maybe with a skew favouring the longer movie or the newer release, depending on their own business logic)

That approach would make it pretty easy for them to figure out a reasonable internal estimate of how much money a particular movie has earned the company via their subscription service. Although that's all fungible internal money and who knows how they'd want to report it, if at all.

My favorite recursive music video has to be Radiohead - Burn The Witch. Difficult to explain, but easy to intuit. Brings the listener's reality into the equation at the end, establishing a recursive link. "Model village"

Depeche Mode - Get the Balance Right! music video is an early example of computer-simulated recursive reality and really gets it right, a common trope nowadays.
It seems like it wasn't marketed very much: I didn't realize it was in production, about to be released, or... released. I just happened to see it online ready to watch one day and watched 2/3rds of it before giving up.

Most people had no idea they even use colors.js as it’s used by some dependency of some dependency. For example, anyone installing AWS CDK afresh would be unable to deploy their infrastructure - it uses colors.js, which blocks the CPU as soon as it’s require’d deep in the stack.

I can see cities becoming more like city-states from the past. I have much less issues with laws created at the local level than from the Federal level. You already see it happening. San Francisco has much more local laws than other places and they are free to do that. SF even collects payroll tax. I could see many more cities taking the reins of government if Trump wins in 2024
> Capitalism is markets in pieces of paper such as government bonds, tulip futures, corporate stock, etc.

Capitalism is private ownership of (and thus control, and benefit from) the means of production. Of these things you've listed, only corporate stock is—at some remove—a means of production. The stockholder owns part of the corporation which in turn owns capital goods.

Anyone can save and invest and become an owner of capital. The only thing leading to concentration of wealth (under any economic system, really, not just capitalism) is that most people don't care to sacrifice present consumption for a larger future gain. Fortunately there are some who do.

To host a privacy-first IM platform is really challenging. If they took advantage of the users' privacy (behavior, interests, contacts, etc.), they would make good revenue. But they will not.

Then how to make this good thing sustainable is a question. Users would think donation is fair enough. But the fact is a world-class IM platform needs an exceptional engineering workforce. Those people are not just looking for users' donations at will.

I think there's a way to make Matrix 4 that looks upon its own legacy and destroys that baggage, "kill your darlings" and all that, and even maybe many of the scenes filmed in this one could be present in that movie.

But the film we saw in theaters is not the quality version of that meta-textual film, it is often very confusing with poor writing, execrable action scenes, and plot that is far less clever than its ambitions. Some of the dialogue sounded like the crummy lines from modern Hollywood superhero and other blockbuster movies, a far cry from the at least tonally-consistent writing of the original films.
> the DICVS recorded Mitchell saying, "Don't run away. Don't run away," while Lozano described how he "buried it and ultra-balled" the Togetic before announcing, "Got him."

This should have said "berried", not "buried". It means he gave the Pokemon a berry before throwing his ball at it (probably to make it easier to catch). The court clearly doesn't play the game. I'm glad they didn't give these officers a pass and it's great to see some accountability for police. Especially the LAPD
I think the saying "set and setting" applies to movies as much as it does to psychedelics. I was hyped to watch it, I was nicely toasted, I watched it as soon as it came out, and it did everything right in my book. For starters, it grabbed me from the get-go: the shot of a SWAT operator's foot stepping into a puddle was totally gorgeous. Everything else that happened was interesting as hell - a program being evolved in a simulated environment, an agent realizing he's Morpheus, Jessica Henwick being totally gorgeous and speaking in a soft honey voice. If the first moments of a film charm you, you are much more predisposed to like it.

Other things I loved without getting too specific:

+the ballet of the helicopters
+Sati

+the design of the Anomaleum
+holding hands in the sky
+army in a coffee shop
+the music when the dojo gets initiated
+the view from the prison cell
+bathroom stall encounter of grandeur and hilarity!

I'm sure I'm missing twice as much amazing things but these are just off the top of my head.
A perceptual hash is immune against the sort of manipulation you mention. One method I’ve implemented myself is recording changes in brightness along a path in the image. Inverting colors would work, but also make the image somewhat worthless. Flipping would also work, but is usually protected against by adding the flipped hash as well.
If you've not looked at code, said who wrote this shit, then did a git blame and saw your name next to it, you've not really done serious programming.

I agree, but at the same time if we had this mindset earlier; open source probably wouldn't have caught on as quickly. Maybe it wouldn't have become mainstream?

> Once upon a time, I earned a degree in software engineering from a major university, and for the next seven years I worked a string of jobs in Silicon Valley. (Not really FAANG companies, but still names you would recognize.)

This is still good experience! The technologies may have changed a bit, but a lot of the dynamics are timeless, and even if you didn't enjoy it at the time you can bring more experience than a fresh graduate.

> Providing work references is hard when you haven’t been in the field for five years, and everyone remembers you as the guy who was checked out all the time.

Get in touch with your references, meet up with them, tell them what happened, see if you can agree on a few positive aspects that they are comfortable vouching for. It's possible that they had a different perception, or things seem better in hindsight. It may be that they really cannot be used as a reference at all, but it's worth trying and at least you'll know. Yes, it will be a bit awkward, but it's what you need to do to build a network. In any case, using references is pretty rare these days, so this isn't a bit deal.

You should put in some work to put together a clear story and resume about your skills, experience, and side projects. You may find it useful to work with a career coach on this, since your situation is complicated, but salvageable.

Something like:

Career objective: Re-enter the tech industry after career break due to medical issues which have now been resolved.

2018-2021: Worked on x, y, z personal projects, which kept me current with a, b, c technologies while taking a career break.

2016-2018: Company C, project x, y, x

2013-2016: Company B, project x, y, x

2011-2013: Company A, project x, y, x

You cannot and should not try to "reset" this, ignore it, hide it, etc. People can find things via google, linkedin, background checks, asking around. You just need to come up with a clear story and own it, focus on the good things, admit the mistakes, share what you learnt along the way and can bring to the table.

Good luck!

More money isn't just new subscriptions, it's also revenue from existing subscriptions (which can be cancelled any time).

By this logic, platforms will never need new content ever in order to keep existing subscribers happy.

It's not just new subscriptions, it's also retention: do people stay subscribed to platform X because movies like The Matrix Resurrections are on the platform?

It'd be rather hard to measure for a single film, it's the aggregate of platform content that dictates retention, I would think.

If the answer is yes, then the platforms will continue to pay companies like WB to film "box office bombs".
I would say budget $3000 for beginners.

Bump that to at least $10,000 if you wind up putting down a retainer for a tax lawyer.

But CPAs are just as excited to research the same stuff and can give you the same answers, and their sign off on some activities can have some weight.

But this somewhat makes intuitive sense?

It's like saying "Insulin reduces blood sugar, but our data shows that blood sugar is highest when insulin is administered."

The fed's control over interest rates is complete, but not the market's response to rates. And when do you increase interest rates? When the market is offering credit at a pace faster than you want. So it seems intuitive that lending is highest during high interest rates (or at least significantly overlap)?
Thanks for sharing.

Actually I am posting a lot of Photofeeler blog posts because (1) I think they are good and (2) I am using Photofeeler heavily to develop a series of high quality profile pics.

I am super awkward and have always had a hard time with presentation of self so I find it nerve-wracking but on the other hand I have a photography hobby, have a mirrorless camera and a few lenses, carbon fiber tripod and a nice flash and so it is my project to take a photo every other day of myself to rate with photofeeler and get my ratings up and leave nothing to chance when it comes to clothes, grooming, lighting, location, etc.
Dedicated gates are much less common in Europe than it is in the US; slot-limited airports tend to much more be about runway slots than they are about gate capacity, and increasingly many airports in Europe are limited by runway capacity with little (politically) realistic chance of expansion.

But yes, fundamentally it's a case of the cost of operation being lower than the risk posed by new airlines.

In my adult lifetime I have legally crossed a northern border by car; they checked ID on the way back. Canada mostly only cared that I had sufficient ID to go back home. In both cases there was a controlled crossing that law abiding citizens used. During much of the pandemic that crossing was closed (mutually).

Yes, physical borders are long stretches that are difficult to secure, and I have seen the TV footage. Doesn't mean that a policy can't be _sufficiently_ effective to make a difference.

Also, reflexively speaking of borders; effective policies probably involve a mix of carrot and stick. The carrot being a legal path to do what people are going to do anyway, but in ways that are documented and regulated. Exact details of either side of that are far, far off topic in this thread.

Airports benefit from having passengers come in, and so part of use it or lose it is ensuring that at very busy airports slots are as full as possible. Upstarts can and will take slots at such airports because they are worth their weight in gold; LHR to JFK makes $1B in annual profit for British Airways alone, for example.

Airports also benefit from stability, though; airlines taking up a large percentage of traffic at a hub drive more traffic than if all those slots were split due to network effects. And to some degree people who transit airports tend to transit the same ones, so there are downsides to hectic, constant auctions of slots.

The main issue is that COVID has made demand totally dry up across the board, and so the inherent assumption, that giving away a slot will bring in passenger traffic where there is none, has fallen apart.
There are important advantages to pigs over non-human primates.

Originally, research was centered around non-human primates (NHPs). But it didn't work out all. Sure, they're a bit closer to us genetically, but we still reject their tissues, so we would need to genetically engineer them. Humans are also much bigger than the non-human primates we can grow in the lab with ease and that have a fast enough reproductive cycle to make genetic engineering work out. So the organs would all be undersized. Ease of breeding is a big issue too, litter sizes for NPHs are very small compared to pigs.

It gets even worse though. Because NHPs are so close to us, they easily catch infections from us. So they're much more likely to catch diseases from us and to give us their diseases.

There are also ethical concerns with primates being so close to us, which don't exist with pigs given that they're primarily food animals.

It took around a dozen or so genetic changes to knock out markers that allow our immune system to recognize that pig organs are foreign. In particular, primates (including us) are sort of strange in that Alpha-gal, a sugar that's all over all other animal bodies, doesn't exist in us and our immune system violently rejects anything that contains it. Understanding this took a long time, but then we eventually figured out how to prevent pigs from expressing Alpha-gal.

That's basically the story here. Figure out why rejection is happening, knock it out, repeat. There are also many forms of rejection and it happens differently in different tissues. But, we're getting there.

I think for things like this, being dispassionate is a coping mechanism. If you engage the sympathy part of your brain, you won’t be able to do it. If you don’t do it, then humans die instead.
I totally agree with this, but honestly I see this as a good thing. This is a feature of having such a large and diverse country. We can try different things out in different places and the people who want to live under different conditions can just choose one of the places that they want to live. I think we need fewer federal laws and more state and city-specific laws. Everyone wins.
If that's a concern, you should just go with T-mobile directly then. They have a $60/mo plan with unlimited data, incl' 50gb of high priority data.

Fi caps out at $60/mo (so 6gb), after which you get unlimited data for "free". However, you only get 15gb of high priority.

I think Fi is trying to take advantage of the Google brand to sell MVNO service at a crazy markup.
> This happened even to demographics where essentially everyone already had a house.

Because you're not just competing with people in the same demographic.

Suppose you used to be able to afford a house on your single income, but only just. Now a family with two workers who each make 60% of what you make you show up and outbid you on the house you'd have bought, because together they make 20% more money than you. You just got priced out of a house unless you too get a second income.

> But your neighbor has a pool.

And that's not a problem. If you want to go from being a housewife to working for money so that you and your husband can have a house with a pool and a Range Rover and a sweet home theater, more power to you. If that's what was happening, we can make more pools and more Range Rovers and more home theaters -- and there would be more labor to do it with.

As long as anybody who just wants the house and doesn't want to be forced into a change in lifestyle, could still get the house.

But then a family with two incomes outbids you and when nobody is allowed to make enough houses for both families, that is no longer true.

Getting state of the art performance in ML requires a lot of intuition about equations though. I've seen some of the top ML engineers work at Google, they all have a really good understanding of math, how formulas translates into measurable results etc. An ML education or research background seems less important, if you have that from studying physics or math or anything then it still translates.

I feel the biggest problem for people without an ML background is that you'd think "I don't know what I'm doing, I can't get hired for this job!", but fact is that people with ML backgrounds mostly don't know what they are doing either. They just get standard results by applying standard libraries, any programmer with some math skills could do the same, it is no harder than learning a frontend or backend framework, people just think it would be harder so they lack confidence about it. There are some gotchas you got to learn, but there are a lot of gotchas in both backend and frontend as well.

The MIT license doesn't require NPM to list marak as the publisher of the NPM package, as long as they still obey the license's requirements.

Besides, the NPM Terms of Service are almost certainly broad enough to permit NPM to publish a modified version of a package or to delete a package.
I'm not sure the specific licensing agreement between HBO and Warner Bros, but it's likely they agreed upon a flat fee with additional $ per viewer. I don't think these deals would ever hinge solely on how many new subscribers joined the platform specifically to view that movie, which would be difficult to prove anyway.

From HBO's perspective, they also benefit from having a 'blockbuster' in their catalogue since it signals to potential subscribers that they're a platform you can expect to view high-budget movies.
