There's a wider dilemma at play for Netflix. As the article points out, they've reached a point where their main product (paid streaming) has saturated the market. They won and there's not much more to be gained there.

Options for their next move essentially boil down to:

(a) expand into "other bets" (e.g. games)

(b) compromise on the quality of their product and brand by selling ads to gain incremental revenue

(c) give up on growth and be happy with a large, sustainable business

They are openly pursuing (a), which is the ideal outcome. Ideally they can even launch gaming or some other form of entertainment as a separate subscription, helping to diversify their revenue.

I see (b) as the backup plan. If they're not able to diversify into another revenue source, their next best bet is to compromise their existing product and extract the final bit of juice using advertising. Some number of customers will drop down from paid to free, and that number is difficult to model. Netflix could also end up shooting themselves in the foot by introducing ads, if that convinces the whole industry to do the same. In the long run that will reduce margins for all.

Finally, (c) isn't compatible with the type of capitalist society we live in. Sometimes a company has peaked and that's OK.

In my native Mac Swift projects typically just generate all the UIKit elements in code and lay them out using NSLayoutConstraints. Once you get a feel for it it is really simple and scales well to different screen dimensions.

I gave up using Storyboards a long time ago.
Well after that message I did some digging and it seems like it can be used both ways.

> If you choose to ride a scooter and you hurt yourself because you ran into some tree roots that is on YOU. It is not the city's responsibility to provide a perfectly manicured path from arbitrary point A to point B

Personally I disagree. Businesses are all expected to comply with the ADA, why not the city? Funnily enough, L.A. has been found to be out of compliance and settled multiple lawsuits about this exact issue. To the tune of 1.3 billion over 3 decades. [0]

I served in the military for 11 years as an air traffic controller; 95% military jobs are non-combat related. Moreover, the military does more than fight wars, we launched aircraft to aid Indonesia after the tsunami hit them, Haiti after the earthquake hit them, Antartica for scientific research, etc... Additionally, the military completely paid for my bachelors and two masters degrees and I am now employed as a data scientist for a cyber-security company. I still have GI Bill benefits if I want to pursue further eduction.
I use a notification filter to block notifications from Google Drive with :rose: or :heart_eyes:. No more Google Drive spam on my phone. Unfortunately, there is no browser extension API for reading all notifications, as far as I can tell, so the only way to make it stop in my desktop web browser is to write a monkey patching extension for it, which is enough trouble that I haven't gotten around to doing it yet.

Just blocking notifications from Google Drive and complaining on the Play Store is the right thing.
You're right! That's benefit #4.

I suppose it's different for each person, depending upon their age their health.

For me, sometimes it's easier to just kinda, jog or sorta, "controlled fall" down the hill, in this case, the walking sticks should be held in your hand. But at other times, you go slow and lever yourself down with the poles.

Of course, the big downside of the poles if that you're constantly fiddling with them. They're noisy and take effort.
People do not realize how big this is going to be - Epic is set up (and already is) to be huge in this space for cinema, TV, gaming, etc.
There is so much misinformation in this post is appalling. Plenty of responses have pointed out some but I will just say this: I know several people that have received masters degrees while serving
You should make difference, generate TECHNICALLY good ideas vs generate ideas which will be adopted.

Second in many cases is matter of not idea itself, but can you implement this idea with limited resources (or with fundraising), and/or can you make good enough wrapper, so people understand idea and could easy install to their environment.

For literally looking for technical ideas, nothing is better than https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIZ

But implementation with limited resources (fundraising) are about management, project management, politics.
And making wrapper is about marketing, psychology, humanitarian sciences, arts.

So I mean, create product which will be used by other person, is much wider, than technical question.

In developed countries this problem more or less solved by startup infrastructure, where you as engineer, could make partnership with marketing person, and/or with art person.
In developing countries, person wish to create new product, should do all himself.

But in any case, you will need to make lot of conversations, and to bend your mind, to accept, what other people want to say, and to understand, how to make concept of product from those words, or may be from drawings made by other people.

And in many cases, you could ask experts, how to implement your idea, how much it will cost, how long it will take, similar ideas, etc.
This is comparatively well established market and fortunately I answer such questions, so you could as here.
When I learned to drive on a highway, I realized from seeing others that being lawabiding is much less important than being predictable. Up to a point of course.
If you read DDG TOS (1) you'll see that they save your queries and are being somewhat disengunous about doing so (half-buried half-way down the page there's this gem):

"We also save searches, but again, not in a personally identifiable way, as we do not store IP addresses or unique User agent strings. We use aggregate, non-personal search data to improve things like misspellings."

I wonder how many folks that use DDG know this is taking place (or even bothered to read that far down the TOS).

Seems like a good thing. Deliberately hiring somebody based on their race and sex is wrong. It is sad that we are getting to a point where the most important attribute in hiring are immutable characteristics.

For those in favor of a law like this imagine if the law had races, sex, or whatever flipped. You have to hire a white person or a male. Would you still be in favor of it?
I think people are missing the suggestion of this article. It's not suggesting that Netflix adds advertising to the existing subscriptions; it's suggesting they add a lower-priced subscription supported by ads.

>...it would create a new benefit for those willing to pay (i.e. no advertising for the highest tiers).

If they kept the existing $10/$15.50/$20 plans the same (https://help.netflix.com/en/node/24926), but they add a $5 ad-supported subscription, that's not changing anyone's experience, unless they choose to switch.
I went through SARS (v1, high mortality rate) and previously lived in a country where the default is to wear a surgical mask any time you are sick, and it's been utterly strange seeing the US response and severe misunderstanding of how things change.

The vaccine prevented spread amazingly well, assuming the mRNA one and original strain. This changed several strains later. Even when the vaccine actually did an excellent job of preventing spread entirely the US still did not get anywhere near enough vaccination, or even halfway. Most vaccines need something like 90%+ uptake for actual herd immunity, including refreshing when they wear off to maintain it - across the entire population, not just 90%+ of adults. IIRC, measles starts community spreading again when it dips below the mid to high 90s - none of this is new, but the US/CDC somehow treated it like "wow we have reached almost halfway (if you ignore more than half the population that isn't eligible but can still spread it!), what a success".

Masks work excellently when worn by everyone properly (or N95-equivalent+ when worn by one side). Masks do not work when people take them off all the time and pretend to have a water bottle. Bandanas do not work well. Gaiters do not work well.

I also frequently saw some really ridiculous "outdoor dining" where it was tents or bubbles sealed on all ends, with circulated air/heating. That is not outdoor dining, and is pointless if you are trying to reduce spread.

Pretty much all my (APAC-team, most also been through SARS) coworkers were incredibly confused as to why the US/CDC thought the virus was not permitted to infect you if you were actively eating or drinking. Indoor dining and chatter permitted during peak spread while you only had to put on a mask when you got up? What is the point?

Almost every time I see someone wearing even a surgical mask in US imagery, the nosepiece was not pushed down to form a better seal, it's below their nose, or some other form of inanity while complaining how they don't work. One of the worst things is when someone is in an enclosed area and keeps their mask off while exhaling continuously, only putting it on when someone comes in. At that point you already have a full room of aerosol. When everyone does something horrifically wrong, ignoring all guidelines and instructions, then says x doesn't work and is pointless, that is not x's fault.

There is also the whole "you should stay at home and not go to large social events BUT you can go to work that usually has more people than a friend's place, also no sick pay, also no time off" that is another can of worms.

As someone who doesn't use twitter primarily because of this "everything is retweets" phenomenon, I wouldn't say that means no one uses it. Twitter is an idea propagation platform. It's not about everyone just sharing and consuming original content; what good is original content if only direct connections ever see it?

Twitter's most important aspect is watching ideas spread, even if it's misinformation, even if it's a cat video, even if it's a big game of telephone and the meaning gets corrupted in transit, you get to see what resonates with people. And that is very valuable.
Honestly, I think a large part of my peer's (I'm solidly millennial) social anxiety stems from never having to deal with a lot of uncomfortable situations.

I'm old enough that I remember a chunk of life pre-internet. Having to use corded the phone to call hang out with your friends, having to talk to parents and strangers to get a hold of your friends, calling a date to have their parent answer, having to knock on doors for church, etc... all built me up to have basically no qualms with talking to strangers, but certain younger close friends of mine can't answer the phone for the food delivery to give them the door code to their apartment.

It blows my mind sometimes, but I genuinely do consider it a consequence of technology enabling them to avoid doing those things regularly.
You could export a varargs function and use this to call the appropriate Lua function, I guess.

Hey fella, you're the one moving goal posts here.

First you say it was "used by the executive branch to dictate any military operation"... ie the executive branch are the ones calling the shots. Now all of a sudden it's "unelected officials in the MIC" who are choosing who gets bombed. So which is it? The author clearly believes elected officials are in charge and he trusts them. Emphasis here on "believes".

I'm not here to make a judgement on whether the article author's *beliefs* are correct or based in reality as defined by you. It's pretty straightforward to see how the author came to his conclusions (described in parent replies in this thread), when you begin with his starting assumptions. Clearly you disagree with those (e.g. whether democracy exists and whether it's worth signing up/fighting/dying for), but that's a real boring conversation.

Also, fail to see how it's "strawmanning" when I'm pointing out your name-calling the author "naive," and how it's not great.
Isn't both sides alwats full of informants? I don't think you could confidently design a non functioning system and be sure the other side doesn't know it doesn't work

You need flow typing when you do pattern matching on generalized abstract data type (GADT).
Here is an example in Java

sealed interface Foo<T> permits Impl {} // union type
record Impl() implements Foo<String> {} // product type

<T> T m(Foo<T> foo) {
return switch(foo) {
case Impl impl -> "hello"; // flow typing T=String
};
}
The download attribute is useful with images or files which the browser would normally preview. If I give my users a button labelled “Save PDF”, I want to know the Acrobat plug-in isn’t just going to hijack the response.
Netflix could have gotten away with ads a few years ago maybe. Not now with all the competition available. their content is relatively weak tbh now that a lot of the classics have moved to other platforms. I'd be gone immediately
Because they chose to indemnify the city.

No one made them do that. They did that because they wanted the right to rent the scooters in the city and the city knew that would come with real problems because shit happens. So Byrd says "Don't worry, we will accept responsibility for any problems."

Well they got the green light and are happy enough to collect the rent, but they tell the user "We accept no responsibility"
There should be some standard measure for how amazing a feat of historical civil engineering is and also how much we know how they actually did it, so 10/0 is 'aliens did it' through to 1/10 for basic mud huts.

Qanats seem like 'aliens did it' level of technological sophistication from my limited understanding of when and how they were built, but I guess that's more due to my lack of understanding than genuine alien influence.

But are there experts out there that know how they actually built them, and how would they rank qanats vs pyramids or great cathedrals? Like how many lifetimes were needed to plan and execute them?
If this is a choice and you have the freedom to change, I suggest you focus now on ergonomic sitting habits. It will pay dividends later in life, and keep you out of the physical therapy office.

If this is not a choice, my apologies for being forward.
Agreed. Netflix need to decide whether they want to be more like Google/Amazon (multiple diversified bets) or Spotify (one undiversified but very strong ecosystem).
You're looking at tribalism. In my life, COVID has easily been the best example of how tribalistic people are, and how that tribalism just completely stamps out logical thought, in otherwise smart people.

I think the crazy picture of Joe Rogan is enough to indicate that this is probably not a piece with any sort of depth or nuance.

And I do believe you wouldn't have any issue finding people who think the same of J.
> an XO overrode a maintenance officer in order to bark orders that work needed to be done in a way that was contrary to documented procedures and resulted in loss of life (in training no less)

did the XO suffer any consequences from this?
As other commenters out this seems like horribly short term thinking. The reason I subscribe to Netflix and Amazon prime and NOT to Hulu or YT is because Hulu has ads (prime has internal ads I suppose, but I’ve always been able to skip those unlike YouTube).

I understand content generation is expensive. Maybe Netflix needs to expand more on the IPs they currently own? Merchandising and such (how about a LEGO/Stranger Things crossover anyone?) Differential pricing models for other countries would make sense too. I’m sure the board has thought of all of these and none are particularly easy, but putting ads where they don’t belong would ruin their brand.
So you accept that the "public" town square was highly discriminatory, suppressed non-conformist thought, was consistently violent, and oppressive to people of minority racial groups?

...and you want more of that? Gotta start to question your motives here, friend. Not seeing any real upside to this, and I'm starting to wonder if the goal is maybe to take the voice away from the people who are, for the first time, finally getting a say in how the world is governed, because you don't like what's being said.
Yes, MOS is key…
I think you are the one who missed the point.

Do you honestly think that someone riding drunk and high and on the sidewalk (count them, three violations of the law at once) should be insured by Bird if they fuck up and have an accident? Come on, now.
Weirdly, there's no mention here of the fact that Bird littered the city with scooters that it is illegal to ride. Reminds me of the principle of "attractive nuisance" with respect to property. If someone uses something of yours in the way it is intended to be used, and they get hurt doing it, you cannot escape fault just because it was illegal for them to be using it at the time.

(you also cannot escape fault just by adding signs saying not to do the thing)
False.

The US spends a lot on public education. A lot of it is inefficient due to highly politicized unions and top-level admins that pilfer the money out from benefitting ground level teachers and students.

https://www.manhattan-institute.org/issues-2020-us-public-sc...

> 1. Thanks to decades of increases, America spends more per student than any other major developed nation.
U.S. per-pupil expenditures have nearly tripled over the past half-century, from $4,720 in 1966 to $13,847 in 2016 (2018 dollars).
America spends more per pupil than any other major developed nation—10% more than the United Kingdom and 28% more than France; in the OECD, only Norway, Switzerland, and Luxembourg spend more.

Per Pupil Nearly Highest in the World and in History

The U.S. spends 35% more per pupil than the average among countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).[7] Among those countries, the U.S. falls behind only Denmark, Norway, and Luxembourg.[8] In 2015, the latest year for which OECD data are available, combined primary and secondary spending in the U.S. reached $12,800, significantly higher than other major European nations such as the United Kingdom ($11,400), Germany ($11,100), France ($10,000), Italy ($9,100), and Spain ($8,300).

Similarly, we spend a lot on other social programs. But inefficiently.

This is due to both governmental inefficieny and rent seeking.
Most impressive: "One of them might even publish a paper soon. Not a proposal for a theory of everything, mind you, but a new way to look at a known effect. A first step on a long journey." Hossenfelder must have the patience of Job and a deep teaching vocation.

If you are ever even around physics or math at all, you will see the crackpot letters. I was a little surprised engineers are largely unaware of the phenomenon and are shocked, for example, that anyone seriously tries to make perpetual motion machines at all.

Revolutionary changes in transportation could slow global warming
I'm not sure that "crackpot" implies malice. To me, it implies a totally wrong starting point. You can't build astronomy on a foundation of astrology. Using Babylonian base-60 mathematics won't help you create a unified field theory. The guy who showed me some random velocity that he had picked, and taken c^2 divided by that velocity, had not shown that faster-than-light travel was possible.

It's like cargo-cult physics. They (try to) do all the things, but the starting point is wrong, so it can't work.

So showing them "where to even begin" is in fact the solution... if they'll listen.
I would probably be overwhelmed just managing the infrastructure for your monitoring systems and infrastructure is my main thing :-D

I mean, in the same sense that it's "a problem" when a con man gives the same pitch as a trustworthy salesman.

The solution isn't for the trustworthy to stop honestly describing their products. It's to gain a reputation for honesty.

Also, you'll the know the truth from the context of your overall relationship, or, if that is thin, when they do actually reschedule.
Physicists probably do do a poor job, but the general public are literally incapable of understand at any level so I don't think they should lose too much sleep over it.

The over use of anthropomorphization and metaphor is an issue but equally they're usually not completely made up.
I was wondering the same. Without better y-axis labeling, it's not that informative of a graphic.
Unfortunately, you're wrong.
That only works if the document is still shared with you. If the spammers are halfway clever, they're removing access immediately after granting it, so the victim can't actually open the document to report it as abusive.
But they'd pay a lot, lot less in a more efficient system that wasn't ruthlessly optimized in about 20 ways for max profit and nothing else.
You can use cocoa from swift without a problem. That would be what I would be inclined to use.
> I'd consider deploying the military to be a much higher bar of trust than building and maintaining roads and tax policies, providing healthcare and education, etc.

What happens when roads are destroyed or barricaded for tolls, taxes aren't paid, or healthcare and education are withheld from anyone who isn't a white man? (to offer a few hypotheticals)
