Reddit has slowly been censoring, banning and closing out "unwanted" people and views for a while now.. It's not uncommon for admins to ban people for the wrong opinions on even small subs at random. They allow an entire sub dedicated to nothing but attacking other subs they don't like and trying to get them banned. (they even go as far as posting CP with alts in order to report on their mains, trying to get the sub banned) And the Admins allow this. To say nothing of the subs, some major ones included, which use scripts to auto ban EVERYONE who posts or joins subs they don't like.. without exception. (something almost spelled out in the rules from day one as being against said rules.. but as long as it only targets the "wrong" people/side, nobody has ever been able to get even a comment from the admins about it in ~8 years)

I don't give "them" money. I don't buy there, but that doesn't solve the problem. Governments (all over the world) need to protect worker's rights, consumer right's and the environment much better through legislation and supervision, as in good, old-fashioned social democracy.
Look, in business good CEO estimated as 80% of business value, or if say scientifically, value is depend much more on leadership and on quality of control, than on capital cost.

Detroit before raise of automobile industry was little periphery town, very depressive place like all periphery, so no leadership, no control (in this case, sure mean local government), simply because there where empty place, nothing to control.

In very short time appear automobile industry, which attract capital, but it is unfortunately typical, that business does not care about control, even more - in many cases business struggle against local government.

So that's all history - money tsunami appear, and flooded city; local government was not appear, it can't appear so fast, without special measures (I studying community dynamics and local governments for more than 10 years, and I have not found any facts about special programs to raise level of Detroit local government; unfortunately I seen extremely anti-local government measures); this money flood disappear, left debts.

And unfortunately that's typical history, poor cannot become reach just getting money, he should learn, change his mind.

The company can grow their revenue without growing their users, one way to do it is ads, but there are others.
The author seems oblivious to the fact that Netflix's main competition are not other streaming or entertainment companies, but filesharing and unauthorized streaming.

Netflix won that competition by providing a simple, quality product, at a price point that, for most people, makes torrenting no longer appealing. The moment they try to push unskippable ads down the throat of those consumers is the exact point where a large bulk of them will reassess if spending 5 minutes to hunt down torrents and watch them uninterrupted is a better deal than paying for a service that stops your movie for 5 minutes to show ads.

Sure, they could go for short unintrusive ads before the show starts. But you can't generate significant revenue with that, otherwise every TV station would do it and streaming and pay-per-view would not exist.
Stop being so pernickety of course it's meant subjective and not for everyone. There just isn't a system for everyone.

> I certainly prefer iPlayer interface to Netflix's one.

There is a lot I could forgive about the Netflix interface IF their search worked in a meaningful way.

But Neflix search interface is utter trash, I'm sorry but it is. And that sours the rest of the UI/UX.

Case in point:

If I search for "X language films" AND I select the appropriate option from the list that appears on the left (i.e. "X films & tv"), then I expect the list that is presented to be a list of films & tv in the language selected.

Instead what I get is a few films in that language, and then I get a bunch of Hollywood and other stuff.

For people outside the UK, Channel 4 is a national broadcaster in the UK with a remit to cater to minority interests and under-deserved audiences - as well as producing more popular content. Their funding comes from advertising - a unique situation which means they are a public service broadcast (PSB) who does not rely on an a license fee or public funding. This means Channel 4 content runs the gamut from trashy or 'low-brow' TV programming to more serious documentaries, high-end drama, arts and serious investigation reporting. The more 'popular' or 'low brow' programming brings in advertising to help fund the less popular, more specialised content.

The plan to privatise Channel 4 will kill much of the public service programming. The Government Minister that oversees Channel 4 is Nadine Dorries ("Culture Secretary"). She is so clueless, she was even unaware that Channel 4 was not publicly-funded when previously interviewed by other politicians.

Also, Channel 4 News is often less 'timid' than BBC News when investigating government actions. In a 2019 speech, the Channel 4 News boss said the media have the right to call politicians 'liars'. That can’t have been popular with the current Government (which enjoys the support of most national newspapers in the UK). Here is an example of a news interview of a government minister from Channel 4 News. You are unlikely to find something similar on BBC News:

Doesn't have to change any laws of nature.

Responsibility is an idea inside a person (it's an ethical concept), not a law of nature.

As such, if the person doesn't have free will (and can't act on his independent volition) then they also can't remove their feeling/belief about responsibility. If it's there (and for most people it is), it's there.
This is only one of the reasons the net should go back to small-to-medium size dedicated sites and forums.
Well said. I would've rather seen Netflix continue their revenue growth by expanding into other verticals, rather than by continuously increasing their monthly price, which in my opinion is a very uninspired/lazy way of increasing revenue.

If anything, one of the best forms of competitive market capitalism is when a company that's successful in one sector, invests in entering a new one, thereby adding competition to whatever that new sector is. Shareholders get more growth out of the company, consumers in that sector get more competition for their $, win-win.

I know they have team(s) of very smart people dedicated to solving this issue (at least at the individual level).

So assuming they care, I can think of two main reasons as to why it is not solved yet, both related to scale as Marques mentioned:

1.) Scale of the problem - It might be that they are already catching 99% of the stuff and we just see what falls through the cracks

2.) Scale of the solving - It could be that the teams and infrastructure are so large that they can't make the rapid adjustments needed compete in such an arms race

That these axioms are just statements held as true, with no actual motivation why. Because of that, it's really hard to argue in favor of one system of ethics over the other on any more solid ground than "this sounds true", or appealing to the consequences if it was true.

"True" even starts to lose meaning in this context as these statements don't correspond to anything in the external world, they are entirely fabricated from ideas. They can be self-consistent, others can share the ideas, but that's about as good as things get.
Installing monitoring software (spyware) on a laptop that is owned by the school is legit only if you consider the student exactly that: a suspect. In that sense, your comment is spot-on.

These games (e.g. Monkey 1+2) weren't made by many people, they were made by a handful of people. Like 3 people for dialogues and story, so the impact of a single person is way higher than in AAA games. And as I said the great thing is that other "legends" return as well, like Dave Grossman (design), the voice actor of Guybrush and the musician Michael Land. So, this game appears to be a return of the old guard who made the originals. And let's be honest: As fans of the originals, who else would we want to be working on a new iteration?

Nonetheless, I'm with you insofar as other people (like Tim Schafer) could theoretically also make a great Monkey Island without Ron Gilbert. And also humor > story.

back to torrents? i mean.. that's what people are going to do. The only thing you have to do to defeat torrenting, is offer a better service. It's not rocket science. Putting ads in your streaming service is like the opposite of that.
For-profit newspapers in the UK are part funded by the "TV license" but Channel 4 is not.

Channel 4 is funded by advertising, and by its for-profit ventures like Film 4, which is one of the production companies for famous movies like "12 Years A Slave".
Netflix's content deteriorated the last one year (at least here in Switzerland). Once there is a good show and I finish it, I have to search for new one increasingly longer. They increased the prices (again). Now putting adds, for increasingly more expensive and less quality service will be the final nail.

> "That's why huge fields of them all turn in perfect lockstep."

Not true for any modern wind farm. While they might appear to be turning together, that's just because the wind conditions are relatively consistent across the whole area. Not because they are actually synchronised! Most modern turbines will target a certain rated/optimal/maximum rpm once a certain wind speed has been reached, but are free to rotate more slowly (while still generating power) in light wind conditions.
The back edge is more than twice as thick as a USB C opening, which is 2.65mm. Unless this picture is wrong, that should be visibly thicker than an A plug...

But whatever, whether it fits or not with the current molding, the laptop does not need to be thicker to fit those ports. It just needs to change the curve near the back. Look how thick the middle is between the ports it has. That's way more than enough. Thickness including screen peaks at 16mm.
Yeah, this seems like a research project for Rust, but wonder if Rust is still capable of such evolution.
Many Korean series on Netflix (including ones branded as Netflix Originals, though they may only show that outside of their home region) that are set in the modern day include product placement, as of course do plenty of Hollywood feature films included on Netflix.

Now, presumably, Netflix doesn't take a cut of those today. Wouldn't be a stretch to imagine using product placement to offset the cost of producing Netflix Originals in the future, though.

The article claims

> On average, using an Ad Blocker reduces emissions by 37%

As much as I hate advertising, I guess to be completely fair you'd have to compare an ad-laden site with a comparable ad-free site that had a sustainable business model. I'd guess the ads still use for energy overall, but there must be hidden costs of an "ad-free" content-business site that include energy.
I was tired of going to YouTube in order to try to find something I had decided beforehand (like a music mix) and immediately getting distracted by all the things that YouTube knows I want to see.

This..

It's part of the reason why I'm against companies, especially media ones and fandoms, from dealing with their "fans" through SM.

But this is a whole other issue of its own.

I think ads would kill Netflix, if it has ads it's not better than youtube or tv catch-up.

Honestly what I think they should do is add micro-transactions. Introduce netflix points, which can be used to do things like skip the wait on shows released weekly. Watch new netflix movies ahead of the rest of the subscribers, etc.

The marketing challenge would be to pass it of as getting perks instead of penalizing the rest of the subscribers, the easiest way to do that would be to include a small number of netflix points in the standard subscriptions.

It could work like you can watch up to episode 5 this week and wait one week for episode 6 or pay 1 netflix point per episode to watch the rest now. You can buy 1 netflix point for 1 dollar and everybody gets one every month as part of their subscription.
Daniel Pink’s book “When” reviews some research on morning people and night owls (there’s also a 3rd type that is somewhere in between).

Both seem to hit a slump in the afternoon.

You seem to be arguing against a view that USans invented everything about internetworking, but that's not a view I hold. I know lots of people from lots of places did pioneering internetworking research! What I was saying is that the US is where the internet got deployed. Surely you are correct that without ARPANET someone still would have built an internet, and eventually it would have become worldwide. But what I'm pointing out is the contingent political facts that resulted in it happening in our timeline in the US rather than, for example, the USSR, where access to photocopiers was still tightly controlled.

I don't think "everything should be a market" is orthogonal to liberalism. At a large enough social scale, liberalism always produces markets unless warfare erupts; strong restrictions on commerce are necessary to prevent markets from arising among groups much larger than Dunbar's number.
