For me the archetypal story of the genre is Think Like a Dinosaur:

The story postulates a transportation device (supervised by a dinosaur-like race of aliens) which can transmit an exact copy of a person's body to distant planets. The original body is disintegrated once reception at the destination is confirmed. In the story a woman is teleported to an alien planet, but the original is not disintegrated because reception cannot be confirmed at the time. Reception is later confirmed, and the original, not surprisingly, declines to "balance the equation" by re-entering the scanning and disintegrating device. This creates an ethical quandary which is viewed quite differently by the cold-blooded aliens who provided the teleportation technology, and their warm-blooded human associates.

To quote my wife though “I would pay for Apple TV+ just for Ted Lasso”. That says allot about how people look at these services.

Apple are treating their tv service the way they do their whole product range, small number of products but done very well.

Ah, like in the actual sense of the word?

In a literal sense I can see that but I just struggle with that framing because it's so charged and in my mind what's happen is a lot more complex, messy and irrational.

For example, there are a lot of people who understand and are excited about "internet of things" but don't realize that our bodies can be used as big wobbly RFID antennas. A lot of people are hyped about XR tracking tech and "the metaverse" but bury their heads in the sand for the larger contextual implications of these technologies becoming cheap and ubiquitous.

It's possible to consciously understand all of the technical aspects of these tools and how they work and have seen it coming from decades away but still be shocked to the point of disbelief at the implications when the technology finally surfaces.

That's the point I'm at now. Are these things "future" we want to live in? Maybe we have to taste it to know its bitterness.

I imagine there are a lot of researchers in this field who carry a kind of wishful, optimistic tunnel vision about the scope of possible applications of this emerging infrastructure. Many of the example applications given have to do with personal fitness or elderly care.

So in some sense this is at least as much about collective willful ignorance or helplessness as it is some kind of coverup.

The "actual conspiracy" aspect of this situation is complex too. There's just so much bad information out there it's hard to make sense of what's organically festering and what's been willingly seeded or cultivated.

Lying comms departments are definitely a thing though. Lying is something that does definitely happen.

One thing I do come away feeling certain about is that critical scientific and cultural literacy are really important. A lot of people have one but not the other. A lot of people have literacy in either or both areas but it's not critical.
The dude in the linked forum post goes on to say this:

> Here is where we make the dreams of the Harkonnen become true. [...]

I'm finding it really very difficult to imagine that someone's read/watched Dune and come away thinking the the Harkonnen are the good guys. So I can't imagine that intellectual honesty is one of their strong points.
Deliberately breaking people's applications? It's malware.
That's why some archaeologists "enhanced" their hills by adding "reconstructed" features that were probably never there in the first place:

> [...] O'Kelly concluded that they had made up a retaining wall, but had fallen from the face of the mound. As part of the restoration, this wall was "rebuilt" and the cobblestones were fixed into a near-vertical steel-reinforced concrete wall surrounding the front of the mound. This work is controversial among the archaeological community. [...] Neil Oliver described the reconstruction as "a bit brutal, a bit overdone, kind of like Stalin does the Stone Age". Critics of the new wall claim that the technology to fix a retaining wall at this angle did not exist when the mound was created.

Jenkins is a tire fire, and security is just one of their tires on fire. Every aspect of it encourages bad practices.
Graphviz is an amazing tool, it has just suffered from being cloistered to technologists whose jobs aren't to solve the kinds of problems it is specifically adapted for. I use graphs in security and privacy quite a bit, and even built the tech for a hopeful security platform using a graph back end. They yield the fastest path through complex problems, and I use them to do in a couple of hours what typically would take client staff months.

They're really compelling but oddly unpopular.

Imo, they're useful for one-off pattern discovery, and they're most valuable for finding single or a few exceptions and outliers in normalized data, and you need to be in an environment where there are asymmetric returns on finding those. Surveillance seems to be their default use case, with open ended scientific research a close second. This comes up with graph based recommendation engines, which are essentially a surveillance/marketing product based on preferences. Most businesses aren't based on discovery of anything other than customers for a transaction they already have.

These aren't problems engineers typically solve, which are more about scaling and optimizing, they're more marketing and sales problems, where you're looking for exceptions and opportunities. (security and privacy are the complementary antithesis of these) A graph based product (imo) is ideal for product marketing analysts optimizing for customer preferences and discovery.

From a product perspective, graphs are analogous to ML, where you'd use a clustering algorithm on loosely structured data to yield categories, comparisons, and implied relationships, whereas a graph yields the same thing over the structured normalized data you can feed into it once you have imagined an ontology to fit it.

'"The goal," says Sarandos, "is to become HBO faster than HBO can become us." '

That was Ted Sarandos, Chief Content Officer of Netflix in 2013, so they 'realized' at least a decade ago.

They've really pivoted amazingly from dvds to streaming other folks content to creating their own in the last 20ish years.

I think Netflix's product is not software but content. I understand what you're referring to but if Prime Video's UX is any indication, content trumps software product quality in this market segment.

If I were Netflix I'd probably divest the technology side of the business (which is arguably the best in the market) and sell that "software product" as a white label streaming platform to the myriad of media houses across the world trying to get into streaming.
Hey, I wrote that docs page back in 2016 :) I'd been using an early version of Redux-ORM on a project, there were some Redux repo discussion threads about this problem space, and it seemed like something that was worth documenting.

We did eventually add a `createEntityAdapter` API to Redux Toolkit [0] [1], which handles the process of storing items in normalized form and provides "CRUD"-style reducers for typical operations on that data, but it doesn't provide any support for managing relations specifically.

That topic _has_ come up a few times recently, so I've been contemplating that as a thing we might consider trying in a future version of RTK.

If folks have thoughts on what that API's requirements might look like, I'd be happy to start discussing that over in the RTK repo!

What coin is not being manipulated? Even USD is being manipulated by the fed. All the countries manipulate their coins.

So the real question is whether a coin is being manipulated, but what kind of manipulation you can accept.
This could be incredible for us. We've been facing the same shortages of various STM32 ARM MCU's as everyone else, but most (all?) of our designs could theoretically be replaced with RP2040's -- and the dual core M0+ could provide some key performance/latency guarantees that single, more powerful cores like the M3 might not be able to.

Whether it's worth the engineering time to port the code and re-design PCB's is...dubious, at our low volumes. But any option that attempts to promise to "beat" the contemporary supply chain challenges would be strongly considered. The long-term price savings are attractive as well (~$10 less per board over what we currently use -- which admittedly was optimized for development convenience, not per-unit cost).
FAANG was coined as an acronym for best performing stocks in mid-2010s. Netflix has some of the top paid engineers in the world, but that's not why they're part of FAANG.
At one point you wrote "It is beyond me why a co-founder of a company would distribute these devices around town but well.." I take it, however, that the installer turned out to be someone else. Now I am curious as to whether this company advertises itself as a supplier of such things, and if so, what it claims about their capabilities. Given that the code has not been reverse engineered, can you be sure its capabilities are limited to data exfiltration? I'm also wondering what the perpetrator was up to, if the device's purpose was indeed to help him avoid the boss.

It’s amazing to me when anyone who is even familiar with ML can entertain ideas like the above. Is it the result of “library glue” experience with little basic knowledge? I’m genuinely curious how this comes about. It seems lack of basic understanding is rampant in the field.
They are in the Windows 8 phase of design. They want to merge mouse and keyboard systems with touch systems, and are thusly forcing mouse and keyboard users to use interface conventions that are derived from touch platforms.

Mobile platforms benefit more from high contrast, very simple and flat designs.

Beyond just the touch screen convenience features -- A significant portion of users is seeig their UI under conditions of extreme sunlight, water droplets, or cracked screen at any given time. These things all inform design choices for mobile.

Now then, why is Apple making the same mistake as Microsoft Windows 8 by forcing these design elements onto Desktop and Laptop market segments? Apple doesn't really think of the PC market much. According to their financial reports, they make more money selling chargers for their mobile devices than they do on the entire PC market.

The answer, I assume, is apathy.
Just anything you want to manipulate, you fake the news these days.
It depends on the location. There are (maybe now, were) plenty of smaller arcades in standalone buildings that were under-ventilated, dimly lit, and always ridiculously loud. But many others are in shopping malls (like Aeon) and have some of the same games (and many more UFO catchers) without the smoking etc. Everytime I'm back in Japan I notice more restrictions on smoking, it's obviously still highly prevalent, but most larger/newer arcades have some floors or areas where smoking is restricted.

Just a tip, if you ever want to check out pachinko places, bring earplugs. To find out why, just walk in front of the automatic door, and you'll discover very quickly how much was invested in a multi-pane sound-insulating door. It's an experience.
As the pirate meme says, "Well yes, but actually no".

This is kind of like a sticking effect. It got in at the right time and it was good enough and there wasn't enough interest in developing something to replace it that it just became standard.

But if you want to get down to it, any entity data model implemented is kind of an attempt at a replacement.

Netflix will be probably be the cable "channel" I think of canceling last, for the simple reason that their usage ergonomics are stupidly simple.

When I go to the Netflix app, I have a simple value proposition – pay money for viewing, in any country across the world if it's a Netflix original, and without any add-on crap. The only thing they did wrong was autoplaying previews, and I hope whoever was responsible for that has been fired, or at least demoted.

Competitor streaming services refuse to implement this basic, simple model of content consumption for some reason. They seem determined to be Yahoo! in comparison to Netflix's Google-like simplicity. Here are some examples of my usage, with a bit of light ranting about pain points thrown in.

[Amazon Video]: Makes me think about whether to rent or buy from them, or whether buy a Showtime "add-on" (yay, more subscriptions within this subscription!). Also, a lot of the content is moving to some sort of ad-supported "IMDb TV". Good luck with that, I'm out. Lots of content restrictions when outside the US (admittedly a niche use case). Oh, and they have autoplay on some content that I can't figure out how to turn off.

[HBO Max]: Makes (or used to make) me log in through my cable provider. Huh, why is this streaming service asking me about my internet provider? I cut my cable package a year ago, and haven't gotten around to re-subscribing to HBO Max; I don't really miss any of the shows enough.

[Hulu]: Close to the Netflix experience, except it makes me think about ad-supported v/s ad-free versions. I don't want to feel bad about losing money for not watching ads. Also, doesn't work outside the US (admittedly a niche use case).

[Disney+]: Not much of a pull if you don't have kids, but if you do, I imagine that this is closest to the early-2000s Netflix experience, but for kids.

[Peacock]: More ad-supported nonsense, plus my cable provider is trying to push a "free" subscription to it in exchange for installing one of their weird devices on my network. No thank you, and please be more mindful of the environment before contributing to e-waste in landfills with your horrible devices. I would do it if I wanted to re-watch The Office, but I managed to finish it before it was leaving, guess what, Netflix.

[Apple TV]: I...don't understand why people give Netflix a hard time about surviving on original content when the only good things about this streaming service are Ted Lasso and maybe Foundation. Watched those on a free subscription, hard pass for everything else. Is this the best that the most valuable company on Earth can manage about media?
The tech industry’s ‘reenvisioning’ of a free/cheap older, but universal, standard is usually to replace it with something expensive, proprietary, and limited in scope.
What are you talking about? We're talking about the current state of Zig. From this thread of comments, on your messages:

> It's important to consider that for zig at this stage, "not having valid documentation" is expected. At some point not having valid docs will become considered to be unacceptable.

> Seriously, comparing by timeline like that is an unfair comparison.

The article is about failing to learn right now. The first comment was about the absence of documentation right now. You're defending Zig being worse than other languages by saying that Zig is younger, which is a fair point. But you also said that comparing by timelines is unfair, which I think is wrong, which is why we're having this conversation. My point is that comparing by timeline is totally fair, because people are evaluating a language on what it is, and not what it can be.

To speak in more precise terms: the current position of Zig is worse than other languages, especially in terms of documentation. The position adjusted for the timeline of Zig is also worse than many other languages at that point. You're asking us to not compare by position or position adjusted for the timeline, but by position relative to the ressources invested, and/or position adjusted for the timeline relative to the ressources invested. I'm saying that this comparaison is useless, because 1) those relation doesn't scale linearly, and 2) because people are interested in the actual position and position adjusted for the timeline, not the efficiency.

Since you reject comparing the evolution of the documentation of Zig through time ("Seriously, comparing by timeline like that is an unfair comparison.") and right now ("It's important to consider that for zig at this stage, "not having valid documentation" is expected."), your only argument seems to be about the future: "At some point not having valid docs will become considered to be unacceptable.". The vast majority of people, when faced with a language that looks not great at the moment but could have a bright future, will react with "I'll take a look again in a year or two". You argue for the opposite, that people should contribute to Zig instead: "You should probably kick a few dollars into the zig foundation as penance for having made it publically. ;)". That is a weak point, and won't convince the people that have seen languages come and go. Especially these days when new languages have great documentation, error messages, and onboarding in general.

Actually, here's what I see on a typical vaping prep, for THC but not CBD:
TOT THC: 80.94%. Tot THC: 809.42mg. Tot CBD: 0.00mg. The CBD ones typically have between 65% and 99% CBD. Each container has a traceability mark and these things are tested in-house with calibrated equipment.

That said, I buy from a premium dispensary and I have no idea what's vended in smoke shops.

> Programs updating file name when you rename from the file manager, or the file manager showing when files are open... might be possible to graft on to other systems, but it'd be a right pain. Even systems like MacOS are going to struggle - the whole OS is under one company that could do cross-functional stuff like that, but any time it touches applications you need external developers to support it and that may or may not work out.

I thought Mac OS apps could and did do just that. Perhaps it's an inconsistent behaviour that depends on the developer implementing it rather than something that comes for free by using Swift UI or Cocoa.

If suspected spam e-mails are simply discarded, the users will not find that any false positive rate other than zero is acceptable.

There is a way to reject suspected spam, which is to do it at the SMTP level (refuse to deliver) so that the sender gets a non-delivery notice.

Accepting everything (pretending to deliver it) and then silently dropping some of it is generally a nonstarter.
For a company with a "Culture of Reinvention", Netflix has failed to compete on the only thing that matters for a content provider...content. Apple, Disney and HBO all have better - and more curated - content. What use is there in having a slick app if all it does is deliver garbage?

Things like Squid Games are manufactured hits and not the kind of content one wants on the reg.
If you have to use a VM to compile instead of doing it on your OS you've lost the game too. It is a cross-OS problem with almost all modern software.

Why doesn’t Netflix explore adding ads to their viewing experience?

Yes, I wouldn’t like ads, but cable’s revenue model is subscription plus ads, so I’m curious why Netflix thinks their optimal revenue model would be any different?
Some wireless keyboards don't bother with any kind of protection to the data stream between the keyboard and the wireless receiver. That's the most obvious instance of bad keyboards. However, these days most wireless keyboards do use some kind of encryption on the pairing between the keyboard and the receiver, so that is a bit of a moot point.

Even if the data stream itself is encrypted there's still a little bit of data leakage. Your keyboard isn't constantly sending data, it really only chirps when there's an actual keypress event. So if you look at the actual physical RF, you 'll notice patterns related to the user's typing. There is some research in trying to guess key presses based on typing cadence, although I'm not sure exactly how effective it really is.

I say all of this typing on a Logitech Unifi keyboard amd routinely use bluetooth keyboards. As others have mentioned it really depends on your threat profile, and in the case of wireless keyboards you probably aren't near the level where this paranoia is justified. Are you typing state secrets that a foreign government body really wants in a public place? Probably want to have a wired keyboard...or maybe just not type such things in such places. Are you typing out a comment on Hacker News in a private space? Probably have nothing to worry about with a wireless keyboard.
