I posted this on their blog before I saw the thread here:

Remember the quote by Henry Ford? It went more or less like: "If I asked customers what they wanted, they'd have told me a faster horse." The truth is, all the customers here -- myself included -- are probably the least qualified people to say this is a bad idea.

I do think that some communication between the 2 sites is important. But it's not as if that's off the table. Once they get around to developing it, it won't be hard to have an "Available On Netflix" link beside entries on your Qwikster queue. In fact, doing so would be effective cross-promotion.

The truth to me seems to be this: These really are very different businesses. And it's true streaming is the future. I expect Blu Ray to be the last optical disc player people ever buy. From there on, it's all streaming.

A future we could've faced is one where Netflix devotes more and more resources to streaming license fees and data centers, they close regional netflix warehouses, dvd delivery goes back to 2+ days instead of the 1 day it currently is for most the US population. In general, the DVD service is choked of leadership talent within the company and capital improvements.

Now, there's a CEO of DVD's by mail. A man who has full budgetary powers over just the DVD business. A business NFLX KNOWS how to run profitably and repeatably. It's a franchise. They've got that stuff DOWN.

I'm not an apologist. I currently opted to pay for both services and I'm not happy about the price increase. But, I'll wait and see. In 6-12 months, if we don't see some big improvements in stream selection, I'll probably chose to cancel that side of my account, and use Hulu Plus and Amazon instead. But for now, I respect the hard decisions businesses make when they see the need to pivot.

> The issue was that under the pretense of fighting child pornography the government wanted/wants to install a system

The Christian-led goverment party didn't even pretend that hard what the envisioned "Zensurinfrastruktur" will be later mainly used for and on several occasions mentioned "child pornography, copyright infringement and other crimes" in one and the same sentence.

This was exactly how the copyright lobby envisioned the strategy, linking child porn and copying.

”Child pornography is great,” the speaker at the podium declared enthusiastically. ”It is great because politicians understand child pornography. By playing that card, we can get them to act, and start blocking sites. And once they have done that, we can get them to start blocking file sharing sites”.

But it is absolutely necessary to be able to block "outsourced" overseas torrent sites.
Nicely put together. Business planning can be great to help people organise their thoughts and uncover issues they'd overlooked.

However, business plans can easily fall into the same trap that bad powerpoint ends up in. That of authors hiding behind it instead of using it to tell a story. It's the story that really matters.

i think this is an AI-complete problem. Lawyers write contracts in legalese not because they love obfuscation (although some clearly do), but because it is basically a DSL that tries to represent a set of terms in the least ambiguous way possible. To translate these documents into simpler language would require the translator (human or machine) to have a proper understanding of the content being translated, hence AI-complete. Also, the newly simplified contract would be a separate entity from the original contract, and therefore could be interpreted differently by a court. Anyone attempting to do this is opening themselves up to all sorts of horrible litigation
It seems like a reasonable thing for Google to do, while I agree that Groupon and friends are probably a bubble, I think Google could turn it into a feature that their advertisement customers want.

Re: 2 ("the rapidest share"): you can simply force clients to upload a file at least once before being allowed to download it. That is what Dropbox did after people pointed out this issue.
My personal opinion is that a type system on top of macros needs types that are too painful for anyone to actually use.
The winning element of Lisp macros is that they are dirt simple and untyped, which makes them easier to write (but makes run-time errors more likely).

At a meta level, you might as well argue that Python programmers should be using ML instead, since the features are similar but ML is statically typed so more errors can be found at compile-time. The logic of the argument is correct, and yet Python (and Ruby and Javascript and so on) win. Again, I think its to do with easy of expression and less thought up front, but I'm not really sure.

1. I think that's your best point, and it's true that the real test will be if they can grow their streaming catalog enough.

3. It's not as if this HAS to be that way. In a blog comment Hastings said initially both sites would have all existing and current data. We're technologists here, is it hard for anybody here to imagine how sharing that data would work?

6. How will it be a distraction to now have a company that is solely focused on streaming -- which is the umbrella under which the original content is being created?

Wouldn't you agree that the economics of show-running fit a lot more acceptably into a business where the primary cost is content licensing vs a business where the primary cost is dozens of physical warehouses and massive USPS fees?

Great. Now that's even more encouragement for German copycat startups…
The argument seems to be semantics but if there were no such thing as a mobile web there'd be no need for the hoops Adactio et al. are jumping through to respond to it.
From the customer's perspective, they are not two separate businesses. They are one, strong business (well, were).

Streaming is most valuable when DVD is (a) there as a backup, and (b) managed with the same system.

Netflix has seriously decreased the value of their streaming offering by separating out the DVD and de-integrating their systems.

There is basically no reason to pay for Kwikster now (terrible name BTW), and the streaming is now an extra cost. We'll have our kids use Amazon Prime, which we already pay for. They're much less choosy for content anyway, and it cuts off another monthly bill.

Someone inside of Netflix should have had the balls to tell your CEO this was a stupid idea and customers would hate it.

It's not the change of price that has everyone upset tonight. That already happened.

What has people upset tonight is what customers will lose in this change: the convenience of a single website to find interesting movies and TV shows and arrange to view them by whichever delivery means is available.

Does it really make sense to have German posts on the HN frontpage? I am German and understand this one, but I think the value of the HN frontpage would be greatly reduced if half of the articles were in a language I can't understand (granted, there is google translate, but still).
Yeah, to me this looks like a way to isolate the profit-making but old-school DVD business from the disruptive but fragile streaming platform. Studios are squeezing streaming providers for royalties at the moment, and sooner or later either the small players will fold, or streaming will fully replace dvds; by splitting services, Reed is trying to maximize its chances of maintaining at least one solid business.
Still, the right thing to do would be to maintain technical integration between the two, maybe spinning off the analytics / suggestions as a third company providing services to both for a nominal fee.

All the examples of "bad" things that can happen reported here can already happen today because credit card companies already log all your transactions. The key point Jacques makes in his article is the the novelty will be in associating purchase history with web search history. It would interesting if somebody comes up with an example related to this new combination - I can't think of any top of my head. And while I don't blindly trust Google I surely trust them more than the financial companies that already have my purchase data.

Amazon Prime streaming is more than enough for children, and most families already have it.

And the kids don't care at all who they get the shows from.

I expect Amazon to continue to aggressively compete in this area, not to mention Apple and someday, Google. Netflix is giving away their core advantage -- a huge content library and DVD/Blu-ray backup for anything not-yet streamed. No one else has that. Now they're just like everyone else.

Must have been a though move to make.

Renting out DVDs is a different business model and one that will be obsolete in 2-3 years. Putting DVD rental prepares them for a future where they can fade out or sell the DVD business and go abroad with a simple offer for the Netflix brand.

For an international audience who might not be that familiar with German party politics, "Christian-led" might be a bit misleading… Also, you're mixing the German and the Swedish cases here a bit.

I'm not even sure if the initiation of that particular bill was out of malice, and not sheer incompetence on Von Der Leyen's side. But however it started, the fact that this "protection" can easily be extended certainly was a big reason for its support.

I remember that in the beginning it was all about "due to the rise of child pornography on the internet", but when an official inquiry was made (by the FDP, if I remember correctly), they had to admit that they had no such data.

I liked his "what is your mantra" slide. For my own company, Fohr, we have a slide with our "Investment Thesis", which seems to be similar in spirit:

Fohr is able to leverage computer-photography and the ﬁlm Carpathia to build a proﬁtable, next generation ﬁlm studio – a repeat of what Pixar did with computer-animation and Toy Story in the Nineties.

UPDATE (edited version based on feedback below): Fohr can use the first feature ﬁlm we're making with "computer-photography" to build a new, publicly-owned ﬁlm studio – a repeat of what Pixar did with Toy Story and computer-animation in the 1990s – if we can raise the funds to continue our technology leadership over the next two years.

We're currently trusting a drive that might fail in 5 or so years in one specific place. The rest is recoverable, the place of failure might be overwritten anyways, the data might not be needed, smart will warn you that the problem is close in many cases...

With SSD you have a chance of going completely blank. If it happens to be a firmware issue on a RAID mirror, there's also a chance of common fault in both drives.
Even if you have backups in that case, do you really want to deal with such situation?
I'm most likely not your target customer, so ignore this piece of criticism if it's useless to you:

I don't understand what your company mantra/slogan above means at all.

The words "leverage" and "next generation" ring MBA-speak alarm bells in my head. Generally, "leverage" can be substituted with the much simpler "use". And you don't get to decide if your technology is "next generation". The market will decide years later.

What do you mean by computer-photography?

I don't know the film Carpathia.

The analogy is very vague. What exactly are you repeating?
1. I found value in having the instant queue and dvd queue integrated. I could pick and choose how I wanted to watch a movie very easily. With separate queues on separate websites, not so much. It will be a royal pain.

2. I consider this another way to stealthily raise rates. Right now, I have 3 dvd's out at a time, which means I can have three (actually four) streams running at a time. Which means I can stream, at the same time my kids are streaming to their computers or iTouches. Now with separate companies, I will probably be told I have to buy some upgraded streaming ability from netflix.

Grrr. Netflix, you seem to be intentionally destroying your value. Amazon, Google, Walmart, here's your chance, because by destroying the queue and raising prices, Reed Hastings just tore down all my barrier to switching.
It would be if you could get everything they have on dvd streamed as well.

Until that happens, neither of your two offerings are worth considering.

Unfortunately it is not. You pay for it either in bandwidth and service price (or in reliability of free service) or by buying a new harddrive.

Cost of a 500GB drive is rather far from "free".

There are not German and Swedish cases. The media industry efforts cross national borders. The quote being from a swedish MEP doesnt make IFPI's case somehow different.

If she actually mentions "child pornography and copyright infringement" one by another in one and the same sentence on several occasions, then it crosses the border of obvious intent, at least IMHO.

The HTTP request/response itself should be atomic

One of the great advantages of REST is that makes data caching easy. Statelessness is a requirement for caching.

"Would it not be possible to represent a query or transaction as a resource"

Anything's possible just about but the whole point of REST is to create uniform resource locators for data. The problem with creating rather forced complicated URIs is that you quickly lose uniqueness: the same data will start being represented by more than one URI and therefore will start to be cached a multiple of times leading to conflicts.

I remember reading early on when SSD first came out where people claimed that when SSD fails, it fails into a read-only state so at least you do not lose your data.

But apparently this is not true and it's not how SSD fail, at all.

What's crazy is I have not had a hard drive fail since we passed the triple digit mark for GB capacity. Last one was a 20GB drive (ah the old days).
I personally find that including words like "profitable" in that kind of pitch actually comes off sounding negative as that property is rather implied by the overall context - by including that word you aren't really adding extra information (you would presumably never state that you were going to build a non-profitable film studio).

Note: this could well be a personal grump of mine!

But also remember that there are things they can buy now with those dollars (even if they have less of them) that before they just couldn't.

They might be making less inflation adjusted dollars than their parents did in the 70's working at the Ford plant, but how many 1970's dollars did it take to buy an iPad, or laser vision correction, flat screen HD tv, cable with 500 channels etc etc? (1)

Steve Jobs is a billionaire. I make less programming than my dad did at my age as a lowly salesman. But I have so much more. I'm OK with that.

(1) I don't mean what would the inflation adjusted price of the iPad be in 1975 or whatever. I mean all the money in the world in 1975 couldn't have bought even one seeing as how they didn't exist and all. "The Pie" is more than dollars.
