Isn't it still pretty expensive compared to what an average Indian can afford, though? They're presumably hoping to be able to get much wider adoption by lowering prices. In the US on the other hand, there wouldn't be much room for growth among people who can't afford their current prices.

Netflix's lowest plan in India is about $2 USD/month while the per capita GDP is about $1,900. A year of Netflix costs about 1.2% of per capita GDP. If they charged a proportional amount for the US's per capita GDP of $63,500, their lowest plan would be about $67/month.
I think one thing many people are missing is how much of this space is children, by now.

While the past decade has been about adults risking their fiat capital, children are forced to only earn crypto onchain, as they cannot get the bank account or money without bothering their parents. It is less wise to bother their parents. People like you and I who will proselytize about crypto or any particular crypto investment, while also having incentive to assume custody over the money and benefit from it instead.

Whereas in the crypto space natively they can earn and trade and acquire goods and services. Something harder for adults to even notice is possible since the fiat system serves us well enough, so it is an easier frame of reference to only think about crypto as “earn dollars, buy crypto, have more or less dollars later” compared to “earn crypto, trade crypto to have more crypto”.

There is no way to quantify it, but if you lead with this assumption you will find it.

I know children that have a few hundred $ in their joint bank account but $100k in crypto onchain and just waiting till they turn 18 so they can cash out without telling their parents.

As the things they invest in also grow 100x, this is a formidable force of capital, that would represent a cognitive distortion in the markets. So it is no longer just passionate adults that simply never traded before, its teenagers and possibly even Generation Alpha at this point.

A lot of things make a lot more sense with this assumption.

Use that information however you please.
I will say that for me, personally, the people I work with have a much larger impact on my job satisfaction than any of the technical aspects. I don’t currently work with the most advanced and interesting technologies but I do really like the people on my team and we all get along and work really well together.

An anecdote: I previously left a job to pursue what I thought would be a great opportunity to work with a “modern” and fun technology stack. However, my new manager turned out to be a totally manipulative jerk and my coworkers were rude and uncaring. I lasted about 9 months there (enduring stress and panic attacks like I’d never dealt with) before I reached out to my old boss and asked for my old job back, which is where I’ve been for the last 4 years and I’m very happy I made that decision.

So even if the stack is terrible, think about how other aspects of the job impact your mental health and stress levels. Can you live with a terrible stack (or maybe even think about ways to improve it) while working with good people? Does your compensation cover any downsides to working with that stack?

If you feel you’re underpaid, can’t stand the technology, and the relationships with your coworkers don’t balance either of those aspects out, then I think it’s time to pursue something else. But be warned that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.
With crypto these days alpha is still very easy since it's a small backwater. Microstructure is all complete bullshit (and has been as long as these markets existed), and leverage is basically unlimited. A huge sell order is more likely to indicate buying than selling, for example. At least liquidation cascades don't literally hit 0 like they have in the past, which is an improvement.

There are also all sorts of unpublished arrangements like colocating servers for privileged partners; you will _never_ trade into an order they don't want you to when you have 5ms latency and they have microseconds.

On the one hand, people have never really understood just how dirty it is. On the other, most of that is now just the long flat line on the chart...
I very much appreciate how freely I can install apps from the app store. I hear about, I install it, I try it out, no worries. Whereas without curation I'd spend twenty minutes making sure it was mentioned by multiple sites or people I trust and doing a set of web searches to check for reports of malicious behavior, and I'd still worry about it, especially about updates. Putting out a good, well-behaved app and then putting out a malicious update that is required for the app to work with the latest OS update would be a common malware vector.

I'd probably uninstall half my apps every major OS update. How often do I use this app? Once a month? Is it worth doing a few quick web searches to see if the latest update is malicious? Nah, just delete it. I can do without.

Once or twice I've had to install a major OS update just a few days after it was released, which would mean no time for other people to discover malicious app updates. What would I do then? Just roll the dice? What if the initial update is fine, but then a week later it's replaced with a malicious one, to catch people who put off updating?
Are there any streaming services of video, beyond youtube, the BBC and national broadcasters, that don't use DRM? I've been interested in looking around this space, but I won't buy a product with DRM. The closest thing I've found is the excellent www.arte.tv, but that's mostly a documentary, dance, classical music and generic "cultural only" platform (funded by the EU).
One thing to keep in mind is it is easy to be led astray about your scalability with Apache Bench. As one example, a repeated get of the same resource is often effortless for an application server due to caching, whereas a real load will be asking for many different uncached resources.

Also, the article does a good job covering concurrency. That -c argument is extremely important, and if you haven't set it correctly, your test is probably not giving you a "real" result.
> We tend to only hear the 'dream' speech

Cynically I think there has been a political project to expunge most of King’s ideas from the public memory, leaving only those that everyone is comfortable with. The public image of the man has been watered down to merely opposing segregation and legal discrimination, and all of his more radical economic proposals and opinions tend to be politely ignored. The March on Washington also included a demand for a $2 minimum wage ($17 in 2020 dollars) and self governance for Washington DC, funny how that isn’t mentioned often.

Hell, he was helping support a strike when he was assassinated. How many people were taught that before?
Very few businesses close on MLK day. It's pretty much just schools and other government offices.
Our CI systems have read access to the data definition store (which is a sql database right now), because we don't store interop data definitions in code. So fully hermetic no, because our code (repository) is not fully self-contained. The definition store has its own audits and change tracking, but it's separate from the interface code.
I see so many of these complaints about YT having lots of good family-friendly content but at the same time being terrible at curation even in the kids mode.

Seems like the problem can be solved with a crowdsourced list of family-friendly videos (on GitHub?) managed by trusted collaborators and then a simple page that embeds only these videos?

Over time I assume it should work given enough people contributing. It's not like the content needs to be kept continuously up to date either (unless old videos disappear faster than new ones are added).
I would not mind my apps on iOS being curated by Microsoft for example and some people would probably prefer their apps on Android devices being curated by Apple... or Microsoft or EFF or Mozilla or Signal or say a new community of volunteers who come together just for this purpose.

It could also be that I trust a group of vendors while I don't trust some others as a user. For example, someone would maybe want their Android apps to be delivered by Apple, Samsung and Mozilla... but not by Google or Amazon for example.

The phone makers could still control their frontends and interface of their stores as they please... but to absolutely not allow certain apps from vendors altogether even if the user REALLY wants to install it on their device is a completely different thing (which is the case now as far as Apple is concerned).

Note: In the above examples when I am naming companies and organizations, I'm imagining a world where any of these companies can have hosting service for their own curated list of apps where developers would submit their apps for various platforms and users can add these as sources on their App Store. There could be a chain of trust for new app store source vendor, where a group of third party organizations decide who to give or take away these rights from.
It's rose-tinted glasses. Every release meets the same same level of criticism as to how it's the end of macOS, how the interface design is a regression towards infantilism. It has been ever thus, even in the System/OS 7, 8, 9 days. The difference now is that macOS is more mainstream.

I definitely think there should be, and my project (Nectr, https://nectr.network) is an attempt at a standard format. Along with the common things (job history, education, et.al.), we also try to pin your abilities (skills, platforms, etc) to entries in our knowledge graph of IT skills and platforms; and we encode availability in a standard way. IMO, these two aspects are crucial to finding the right talent, when they are available.

I remember hearing a rumour that nearly half of all mail that hits Google's SMTP servers ever land in an inbox. While there are reasons such as wrong addresses the vast majority of that is spam.
- Being suspected or charged of destruction of evidence. It happened.

- Losing access to forensic data by not capturing the contents of the device RAM. Pretty common.

- Becoming witness of a crime and getting personally targeted by some criminal organization in retaliation. This one should be obvious.

- Wasting the opportunity to keep the device on to monitor the activity of the intruder
PouchDB is incredible, so much respect for the devs that built it.

The trouble is though, it is now quite an ageing codebase with relatively little maintenance. The original developers have moved on and it’s a little neglected. A few community members have picked up the mantle in the last 6 months but I would be careful picking it for something new.

Last time I looked the bug tracker auto closed tickets after a month if there was no activity. That makes it look like there are few bugs being tracked. Problem is there is loads, they are just all closed.
Pirating is driven by more then just price.

When the streaming service blocks certain subtitle/audio languages (that they do have available if you have an account with them but in a different region) and they DONT allow you to watch their content in a 3rd party player (so I can actually get those subs/audio channels), they ASK for people to pirate the content.

I would subscribe back to them instantly the moment they simply provide their content over an API so I can use things like plex or kodi to watch their content.
This is terrific! Do note that IDs are document unique. I found a duplicate id on the `#pan.cake` exercise.
>But… I can tell you that there’s some weird recommendation right now that if you are the least bit unhappy, or have the slightest bit of FOMO, or have been slighted in the tiniest of ways… “that you must quit”.

Yeah I have also found this, it's a bit strange. I think the pandemic changed it a lot as well. Employers got more desperate and employees noticed.

>please don’t fucking ghost your employer.

Yeah OP, please don't do this. Common courtesy and such. I encourage everyone to not be an asshole. You totally can, just try not to.
YouTube is a terrifying cascade of "wtf" for children.

IMO it's completely unsuitable for unsupervised children under, say, 13.
I've seen so many of these why does javascript always javascript?
Not sure it's quite the same thing. I think it's closer to a state of mindfulness than flow.

In a flow state you are, by definition, fully absorbed in an activity and are not necessarily very "self aware" in this kind of way.
They mostly close where I live.
I think your example is a solid illustration as to why you may not want non-developers writing SQL:

SELECT
CASE WHEN o.EmailAddress IS NULL OR o.PhoneNumber IS NULL
THEN 1
ELSE 0
END AS [IsSubmitDisabled]
FROM Customer c
INNER JOIN Order o ON c.Id = o.CustomerId
AND o.IsActiveOrder = 1
WHERE c.IsActiveCustomer = 1

These queries aren't identical in their output, though they are logically the same. Is that a good thing? What are the implications of allowing such ad-hoc queries within a system?
just came here to say that while I understand the sentiment, people in their 20s can vote, and should be considered adults, not kids.
Same exact shoes except I'm a 34 year old manufacturing engineer.

I've heard recently that when faced with indecision it can be helpful to brainstorm a bunch of different questions to ask oneself.

Have you bounced around a lot between different jobs throughout your career?
The page you linked has a large headline halfway through:

"3. Police deter crime by increasing the perception that criminals will be caught and punished."

"Caught and punished" is the important part here. The problem is that today there is effectively no punishment and no consequence for getting caught. In fact, the people who get caught go right back to the railroad tracks and do it again, and brag to the cops that their charge was reduced to misdemeanor trespassing.

Even if it failed to deter others (which I don't concede), putting these people in jail would stop these same people from committing the same crime again, which at least would be an improvement over the current situation.
Eh, poetic license has its place and I am more forgiving when it comes to opinion pieces.

That said, the anecdote is almost completely irrelevant. At the best, it is trying to use image of MLK and argue the following:

"MLK gave a speech here once, therefore making it a sacred ground, where 'nothing we declare bad' can happen".

That is not a very convincing argument. I do not see it as relevant even if we lower its status to an anecdote. At best, it is just something that happened.

<< Whatever overarching point you want to make about the state of race relations and debate in the United State in the 2020s, it is a fact that in the "Land of the Free", open discussion of historical injustices is being suppressed.

I am not big on overarching statements, but I will address the one quoted above. If open discussion is being suppressed, we have no one to blame, but ourselves, because we let this happen. Inch by inch, some subjects became impossible to discuss without repercussions. It is absolutely wild given how free this country used to be in terms of speech. We now have kids in universities who self-censor so as not to offend.

So yeah, open debate is being suppressed, but probably not the way you want to believe it is.
UPDATE: I just asked a guy who works with me who's 61 and he said straightaway "it was a comedy invention created as a satire on British cuisine."
I doubt this. Because even bot nodes will get blocked eventually so each email is degrading that value of that node. Again, very, very low, but not exactly zero.
Well, great then, they just need to apply the same strategy for their shareholders!
One of these days I am just going to have to write a book about it. There are so many layers and perspectives to consider. Maybe another small rant about our roadmap will help you see more clearly how it could work for you:

I am currently looking at an iteration that will use event sourcing at the core (i.e. append-only logs which record the side-effects of commands), with real-time replays of these events into SQLite databases (among other in-memory working sets). The SQLite databases would serve as the actual business customer front-end. We would also now have a very powerful audit log query capability that would go directly against this event source. I would just think about the database as the layer the business can communicate with. It is your internal/technical customer. As long as that database is proper, everything else downstream works without you thinking about it.

The biggest reason for pursing this is to decouple the schema from the logical reality as much as possible. The business likes to change their mind (sometimes for very good reason) and we have to keep them honest at some level. As proposed here, that source of truth will be the read-only event logs.

When you look at this on a whiteboard, you may recognize that it resembles a textbook definition of CQRS. Perhaps try reading up on: CQRS, event sourcing, database normalization, SQLite's application-defined function capability, and anything else that looks adjacent.

Read 'Letter From a Birmingham Jail'. It could have been written today.
Does "enough overlap" have to mean a full workday, or is there an option for you to be a couple of hours offset?

I work remotely with most people being in other time zones. My "core hours" are still in my time zone. Nobody expects me to shift my entire day. But in practice, this does result in having to take late meetings a few times per week. The company does try to minimize these things, but it's unavoidable and usually most people are making some sort of compromise on time zones as the team is so spread out. It's not actually bad, because I can in theory just get up later the next day, or take a longer lunch, or leave for the evening and then hop back in for a meeting. But in practice I often just work through the gap because of some personal inability to step away.

Aside from meetings, I just noticed more of a pull to work late because a lot of the communication happens during my evening and night time. This is despite the fact that everyone tries to be considerate, going so far as scheduling messages in each other's time zone sometimes instead of pinging them directly. Sometimes I'll get feedback on a PR toward the end of "my" day, and then feel the urge to address the feedback right away, resulting in quite a few late nights. It's something I'm trying to work on.

Overall though, I really like being half a day away and prefer it to being in the same time zone as everyone else. My mornings are very quiet, letting me focus and not feel the compulsion to be checking if I'm missing something relevant on Slack or some other communication channel all the time. I feel like I'm actually less stressed and getting more done overall (with the caveat that I need to get the overtime under control a bit).
> I guess at some point his instinct was so strong that he stopped seeing animals (including humans) as beings and simply as food to keep him alive.

I think perhaps that would be a mental disorder. If not then, at least now. It might have been caused by real life physical issues, but aren't they often?
"I haven’t had a need for a shared whiteboard experience yet..."

Just to make sure I understand correctly: does this mean that in all cases (whether you're presenting or viewing) you find that only one person needs to be able to write on the board?

Also, in your first comment, you wrote that digital alternatives are not the same as the real thing. In your opinion, what is the key advantage of traditional surfaces over digital tools?
Basic income would not reduce people’s willingness to work
Make it easier on yourself by changing the problem statement: decide what the things that you want to achieve and see improvements in are, and then never give up on those.

That should, hopefully, make all kinds of life decision-making easier. You'll still need to make calculations and take risks, but it'll keep you on course.
How do you imagine they are "raising the price simply because they can" when their growth has slowed[1] and they have decided to no longer use debt in order to finance content?[2] I think those two facts taken together are a much more plausible explanation of why they are raising prices i.e because they have to. Further given the competitive head-winds they're now facing streaming space they are definitely not in position of price leadership.

That is orthogonal, NoSQL can be used as a relational DB too. SQL is one way to do a relational DB.

Also what I describe is close to SQL if e.g. you declare a set of properties and property types for each "filetype".

Relational is one aspect of a DB.

Schemaless or not is another aspect.
Yes! Let's list more!

I've got a couple, maybe (depends on your intuition i guess):

In 4d a (topological) sphere can be knotted.

Hyugens's principle: When a wave is created in a field in N-dimensional space, if N is even, it will disturb an ever-expanding region forever (think a pebble hitting a pond's surface) whereas if N is odd the wavefront will propagate forever but leave no disturbances in its wake (think of a flashbulb, or of someone shouting in an infinite space full of air but no solids to echo off of).

For most problems I encounter I want to focus on the data and its relationships.

I cannot help feeling like programming languages and idioms have me deal with too much 'mechanism', the machine like structures and forms that are mostly incidental to the data domains I work in, and are entirely about performance, layout, access pattern etc - when a machine could do an ok job of making those decisions for me until optimisation becomes important.
Cool, looking forward to seeing that happen.
I wished there would be some service like 'Lenny for phone spam' that will automatically keep on replying to spam emails and waste their time and resources.
MLK was very different from BLM. I say that as a black person myself. MLK spoke about American greatness and American dignity and accorded the highest respect to the Founding Fathers, whereas BLM-aligned folks tend to trash these topics and want to tear down statues.
Nice bait-and-switch, but we can scroll back and see how relevant your defense of the comment I responded to really is.

Declamations are fine; declarations about what is "acceptable" and what "they should have done" are more than mere criticism of poor judgement, etc., and are what the author of the comment I responded to actually wrote.
It's either teenagers or money laundering.

Funny how it could be either.
