Cancelling shows, pulling content to replace it with ... nothing (sometimes they pull content to force users to watch the new netflix original reboot), providing only a subset of available subtitles/audiotracks based on the region of your account ...

Really, today it's actually A LOT easier to pirate content and have tools to automatically fetch missing subtitles then to follow netflix content before it is sent to the void.

I love these late era NES games when the developers really knew how to push the hardware.

I just learned how bad NextDoor's dark patterns are yesterday. I realized it was about the 4th time I'd tried to unsubscribe, navigated to the notifications page, and see that they have about 40 categories of emails they send you, split across several parent categories. You could turn off parent categories, but not silence everything at once.
That New World switch is such an Earth-shaking change and it’s basically forgotten. It was Steve Jobs’ first big software transition before OS X was even decided on as the future of the company.
I've wondered this same thing. Were they always the same, but with more effort (as a ratio) towards PR and image, or did the Ruth Porat era signify a cultural shift? Maybe the influx of "tech as a high paying job" type people versus "tech as an inherent interest/tech to solve problems" crowd?
Maybe a 6lowpan interface for maintenance. This way he could interact with it from inside the room without having to access the closet.
To be clear, in my experience it's worse now than pre-2016, and still a very serious problem.

Dumb question, but is price manipulation wrong when it's for something that doesn't have a "true" price?

Like I get why it should be illegal for stocks. If you pump it and the price reverts back to some true price (calculated from expected future earnings or whatever), then people who bought it expecting it to be at an efficient price will lose money.

In the case of crypto where everything is driven by supply and demand only, who loses?
Have opened this thread a couple of times today, hoping to see comments disagreeing with the post. Still no such comments, so I’ll take the duty… hopefully not causing a

I have been programming for ~15 years, the majority of my life. Web, mobile, HPC, CUDA, assembly for x86 and ARM, kernel modules, LLVM plugins, and databases… Not once in my career I found the concept of relational databases efficient or relevant. They are frustrating to use, exceptionally slow and generally provide SQLs, or other DSLs, which is the most archaic form of query representation I could think of - not binary and not general-purpose.

It reminds me of no-code development platforms. They may work (not very well) for some super simple tasks, but as soon as you want to do something at least remotely non-trivial, they put more barriers, then provide help. From personal experience, again, I have grown to hate frontend development so much, that have tried a dozen of website builders, before reverting to good old HTML/CSS (plus a bit of JS) every time I wanted to refresh my blog or companies website.

Plus, I wouldn’t immediately dismiss the concept of Graph Databases. If we want to be truly canonical, we wouldn’t create hundreds of columns in our tables, with just a few relations. The ideology is that every unique “type” (in any sense you prefer), should be in its own table, linked with the other “types” in other tables… Then theory ends and starts practice. Try implementing a fast JOIN in a relational database. Then increase the depth to 3, tracing the relations of relations of relations. Even in a non distributed case it is a horror. Both the nested SQL queries and the program that will be evaluating them. Graph DBs are designed to solve specifically that issue really well.

Another point: how “relational algebra” suddenly makes smth superior to anything else? It’s not a Grand Unified Theory of Physics, not rocket science and not even Graph Theory for that matter. The latter being the biggest and most studied branch of Theoretical Computer Science with brilliant theorems being published even today.

Not saying that todays popular Graph DBs are good (they are mostly disgusting), but I would still much rather think of my data as a graph, than a table with some foreign keys

I miss a lot of things about the 10.4-10.6 era. Brushed metal Safari is not one of those things.

As I recall, per the HIG, the official line on brushed metal was that it was for apps that interacted with physical hardware in some direct way: portable music players, synch. managers, optical drives, disks, something. Now if you think that’s vague, you’re not wrong; most apps could at least print something, and it wasn’t applied consistently even within the iLife suite which up until the inclusion of iWeb consisted entirely of apps that were intended to bring the Mac and peripheral devices together (CDs, digital cameras, MP3 Players/iPods, DV cameras, SuperDrives, MIDI). This vagueness and the low popularity of brushed metal Safari in particular was one of the reasons the brushed metal theming was retired after Tiger.

That is what passed for the traditional zeitgeist
that we were steeped in, and everyone accepted it
because of the massive social proof from The Important
People on TV. Now looking back, we can see that the
traditional zeitgeist was not in our interest either,
and so it does not offer a compelling focus point to
return to. And so we're just kind of lost and rudderless,
looking for new directions to suspend our disbelief for.

Very well said. I think that's what's so heartbreaking. We were right to reject that old status quo, but something even worse has replaced it.

I agree that it is, I just got tired of seeing two dozen plus facebook posts about it last month.
yea I know what you mean. The main use I have found is something like. Say you have a price per company_id and per transaction_id. Now you have some function, which for the sake of it, takes it to an exponent.

i used to write a lot of functions which went like this:

def convert_price(price_frame:pd.DataFrame) -> pd.DataFrame:
price_frame["new_price"] = np.exp(price_frame)
return price_frame

and i came back to these functions, and i was always like. hmm what needs to be in the price frame. which columns etc. Also it mutates the state of the data frame

while i now write functions like

def convert_price(price:pd.Series) -> pd.Series:
return np.exp(price)

However what is good as well you can treat the series as a single dimensional array and do operations on it. Its not a perfect example since im not using the ids haha but you might see what i mean :D
If you go maximizing short term revenue at any cost, you will get evil. It doesn't matter what market you are on.

until Postgres added JSON fields I would have retorted that nosql is really handy for scraping purposes, when you just want to grab and store the collected data, which you then parse with another specific program into a relational database later.

I've learned this by doing it the opposite way for years. however, website schemas can frequently change, which ruins the database schema if you're immediately parsing into a normalized structure. In other words, it's brittle.

noSQL (or JSON fields) allow one to store unstructured data which is more forgiving when a schema changes (I.e. change the spelling of a dictionary key, etc.).
Do the content previews in the emails look like they're for your area, or could it be someone with a similar name registered somewhere else with the wrong email address and NextDoor never validated the email address?

I hate it when companies allow people to signup with email addresses that aren't theirs, never validate the email address, and then start spamming me. I mark all of those as spam. The latest offender is Chime.com (I have a common-ish FirstLast@gmail that I'm phasing away from.)

Am I reading right that among all the words, there are just three examples of "manipulation"?

- fake news stories about Amazon accepting Bitcoin, and something Tether

- "momentum ignition", trying to start a trend by placing a big trade offer and withdrawing it when takers arrive

Are those really a big deal?

I guess technically every trade in crypto or stock markets is also a "market manipulation", as it has the potential to move the price.
> Well unless they pay no dividend, have dual-class share structure, and IPO without a profitable quarter. What’s a share of SNAP entitle you to exactly? Ah right, you think someone will buy it for more.

I think the idea would be like what happened to Apple: they eventually grew so much, became so successful, accumulated huge piles of cash bigger than they could possibly spend, that they had to start paying a dividend.

And there is a difference between a company with an inherently unprofitable business model, and a company that would be profitable if they didn't spend so much on growth. Admittedly, it is pretty hard to distinguish those sometimes, especially with the endless rounds of Series D, E, F, G, H, I, etc funding some startups are getting.

That is all speculative, but it's not unproductive beanie babie trading. It is pretty close, especially when the only rationalisation I can think of involves Apple paying dividends, which they didn't do for decades, and Facebook and Google still don't.

Even tulip selling is actually a real business, the tulip mania wasn't as bad as crypto from the "real value" perspective, I think.
The people in charge are too far removed to care and the grunts implementing it can be compartmentalised. Optimise for the right KPIs. Throw diffusion of responsibility and you're golden.
With this definition my guess is there is likely to be some manipulation. But as BTC is not regulated by the SEC I personally do not see a major problem with it, either.

My guess is that most people that I know that buy BTC, either directly or via some holding schema, do it for the speculation and in this environment they should expect other players to use any method available to them which is not explicitly prohibited. I would treat it like a poker game, where some action happens outside the strict definition of the gameplay (reading facial expressions, probing reactions, etc.). Just my 2c.

I think I agree with you, in fact it gave me a few movies I hadn't seen that are now on my to-watch list (and a couple to rewatch, like Tango & Cash). But at least it's a better list of action movies that haven't aged as well than Terminator 2, Robocop, and Die Hard.

Sure. Let me look it up. It should be all here, at my OpenProcessing (at least all the code I wrote for myself personally):

https://openprocessing.org/user/15252?view=sketches

Basically any sketch that has "3d" or "aspekt" in the title is on that track. But you can also see from the thumbnail many of them are 3d world related. The navigation of that site is pretty tricky...but you can find the source code by:

- Click on a sketch

- Click on the 'abacus' control menu to the right

- Click on the files tab in that

Source code in Java should be available there.

Please remember it requires a version of Processing in Java to work. I worked on this in 2011/2012 so you may need to figure out which Processing version that is.

Also, here's a youtube video of flying around one of my sketches:

SQLite on WASM[0] is absolutely what you are looking for. There is also “Absurd SQL”[1] which extends it to use indexedDB as a VFS for storage allowing proper atomic transactions and not loading the whole thing into memory.

Combine it with the various JavaScript ORMs and you have a nice developer UX.
