Frankly, I find this take baffling. But it’s clearly a good-faith (seriously, no pun intended) take, so I hope this will be a welcome response.

I’m also an atheist. But I was raised Christian, attended Christian private school for a few years, and have taken personal interest in understanding the faith and its underpinnings well past the time I lost my own faith.

It’s true that most of the religious aspects of Christmas have been diluted if not basically vanished from the holiday. But it’s far from a new truth. For most worshippers, the commercialization and secularization has been part of the holiday for at least half a century. It was Christians who either led this development or eagerly adopted it.

Among Christians who would object to that, more do not celebrate the holiday as a matter of their faith than seek to de-secularize it. This has never been part of the “War on Christmas” narrative.

That narrative has, alongside many other narratives like it, been an imagined victimization story that Christmas—in all its secularized form—is being “canceled” by things like saying “happy holidays” or merely including other religious holidays in greetings around the same time of year.

At first this was all very explicit, and probably for many a sincere reaction to feeling less centered in the universe. By the time “War on Christmas” became a phrase in any kind of common usage it had become a manipulative dog whistle to tell the people receptive to said manipulation that there’s another “attack” on them. It’s the same trajectory similar reactions to majority feelings of being less centered have been exploited for invented culture war bullshit.

This is just the inverse of how pre-secularized Christmas came to be. Christmas was never a Christian tradition, it’s always been a winter solstice celebration which was used as a (mostly subtler) cudgel to convert Pagans. If there ever was an attack on ritual celebration of Christ’s birth, it would have been that.

Moreover, Christmas isn’t and never has been the “high holy holiday” for devout Christians. That holiday is Easter, which celebrates the transition of Jesus as prophet to Christ, son of God, who died and was reborn to eternally absolve humanity of their sins. That holiday has likewise been commercialized and secularized and infused with Paganism.

But there’s no corresponding Easter War! Seems weird but… most Christians don’t (pardon) give a god damn.

It was never about the holiday. It was always about moral panic as a manipulation technique.

> A hand out is not a loan.

It has the same inflationary effect on the economy. Under fractional reserve banking, loans inject money into the economy, increasing prices. The lower interest rates are, and the longer mortgage terms are, the more such money gets injected.
A lot of these will be used in prototype hardware, I'm sure the consumer ones will be the next generation
> Here's what they should've done: create studios to make independent localized content for particular languages. Have a studio in Spain (and probably Mexico) producing Spanish-language TV aimed specifically at Spanish speakers. The indepedent part cannot be ovverstressed.

That's what they did. Although I don't know how independent the Spanish studio is.

> News of expansion at Netflix’s Madrid studio complex, launched in April 2019 as its first European Production Hub, comes just a week after Netflix held an online roadshow to unveil seven new projects – movies, series and reality shows – including “If Only,” a Spanish adaptation of the canceled Netflix Turkish original.
Covering the next few months, the new project announcement suggested that Netflix has now achieved an unprecedented level of production in Spain that makes it one of the biggest investors in Spanish series and films in the country.
Netflix has released more than 50 titles made in Spain since 2016 and participated in more than 70 films from the time of its first original movie, “7 Years,” released in 2016. It has worked with over 35 independent production houses and has created 7,500 jobs for casts and crews.
This year’s current productions are expected to hire over 1,500 professionals and create over 21,000 days of work for extras, Netflix estimated.

See that’s actually a brilliant idea. Have a series of products, actors, musicians, and sign them all together onto similar platforms. I bet Amazon could do it.

You would only see these actors using these certain types of products and appearing in movies where the action or entertainment incorporates product.

I think most people are tasteless enough to really like this.

This announcement's quite neat on its own. But if the board had an exposed PCIe connector, they'd be fantastic to build a SFF PC around.

That doesn't sound right to me. Dekker algorithm is broken on x86 without explicit barriers but it works on a SC machine.
Thanks for bringing this up. I've been fascinated by the YF-23 and glad to learn more about it's history.

I wish it wasn't completely abandoned because it is a beautiful airplane.
I get the feeling that in the future, it will be necessary to sign videos with cryptographic keys based off of scans of your iris or other secure biomarkers if you want anyone to know it's actually real. Mannerisms are much too imitable ;)
I'd imagine Netflix could get a huge catalog of content's US streaming rights for pennies on the dollar because hasn't been much of a market for it - practically free money for foreign IP holders.

In doing so, they could get huge brand loyalty from bilingual folks, plus more content for people willing to watch with subs. My wife's mom watches tons of dramas on youtube, we'd get her a netflix account in an instant if we thought she would use it - UX watching shows via youtube is abysmal.

Pay for dubbing once a show proves itself without and 'relaunch' the branding to wider audiences. Netflix should have very solid stats on which users are willing to watch foreign language shows with subs, so they can do targeted homepage advertising to test the shows easily.

Dev lift should be light, really just need to add a search filter for original language/country of origin.

You mean unit testing? How so? I have never seen unit tests make real HTTP requests; it's much better to mock them. And changing from async to sync code for unit tests sounds like a bad idea, since you're not testing your code the way it actually works in production.
Same with all these big models. GPT-3 and codex benefit from all the text and code that has been made publicly visible without giving back. At least e.g. imagenet classifiers had to take the effort to label the images they scraped.

IP laws need to catch up, so that ML models that use unlicensed public content have to give back in some way.
Saying they 'ignored' it is quite generous, considering the former CEO essentially blamed the pilots (source: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2021-11-16/are-boein...).

Here's an excerpt from the article...

---
“No, again, we provide all the information that’s needed to safely fly our airplanes,” he answered.

Bartiromo pressed: But was that information available to the pilots? “Yeah, that’s part of the training manual, it’s an existing procedure,” Muilenburg said.

“Oh, I see,” she said. But in fact, MCAS wasn’t in the manual, unless you counted the glossary, which defined the term but didn’t explain what the software did.

A safety critical feature that can down a plane if not disabled in time... tucked away in a glossary.

The documentary 'Downfall: The Case Against Boeing' goes into great detail about the whole ordeal.
> people make things for money, not love or art.

...you're on Hacker News. A significant portion of this website is just people talking about Open Source Software, something that consistently produces case studies about people making things for love or for art or for passion instead of just for money.

Plenty of people make things for value that isn't purely financial.

> Otherwise they wouldn't copyright it.

This isn't how copyright works, at least in the US. Generalizing broadly, you own the copyright of whatever you create unless you've otherwise signed that away. It's automatic. You don't fill out a form to have copyright over a work.
> Except, in a competitive/expensive market, the developer will pick the high-rise (almost) every time when allowed by law.

A developer will, indeed. More profit. But an acre is small enough that it could just as well be a rich individual buyer, in which case they'll build what they like.

There's a half-acre plot for sale nearby for nearly $2M, I'm curious if it ends up being bought by an IPO millionaire to build a small mansion or by some developer to put up two-story apartments. Could go either way.
You could use "USB-C to Ethernet" converter(s).
Yes that’s called enjoying making money. It’s not love. Why is that confusing to so many people?
How do you acquire the movies?
No but if they promote some but not others, then they're implicitly taking up that job.
I'm always impressed by the labyrinthine towers of JS and frameworks people create to ship out relatively simple sites and web apps. By impressed, I mean that I look upon them both in awe and in horror. And I'm guilty of building them myself, as well.

One of the worst things is opening such a project that was written 5+ years ago by someone other than yourself.
It’s even worse when you see how relatively decent YouTube’s autosubtitling is- Prime is just lazy on “never shown on TV” content.
>’m not quite sure how this screed is relevant to the article. The point of the study isn’t “Fox News bad, CNN good” (so the counterargument of “Fox News good, CNN bad” doesn’t really hit home).

I opened my post as such. I have no dog in the race. The far more interesting and poignant is indeed fox news good. Their ratings are sky high. Which is an important detail not to forget.

When the study gets involved. They are studying that watching CNN can change your opinion but ultimately they go back to fox news. Because it is better.

>The point is about the nature of people’s beliefs and whether they can be convinced by a news source which they have – as both left- and right-wing outlets strive to do – been primed to dismiss and distrust.

I agree, but what I quoted is that they ultimately go back to fox news and this can be confirmed by much higher ratings.

>I mean, I understand your response to the Guardian’s favourable/unfavourable descriptions of CNN and Fox News respectively, but … well, what do you expect, really?

Guardian is also not a primary news source for me. I generally had a good opinion of them but I just looked up their media bias. A below 'mostly factual' score card is bad. Your response kind of got me to check on that. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

> I agree that the endless “here’s what you should think” adjectival avalanche is extraordinarily boring, and personally I tune out of it too, but it’s also utterly ordinary and inevitable.

Agreed.

>Speaking for myself, I was much happier once I started treating other people’s views not as an assault on my own, but as … just that, really, another person’s view, a fact of life just like a chair or a cucumber.

I am kind of inbetween here. Most people I find will not be an ideologue and usually can have a good convo with. However, there are absolutely people who are assaulting their views upon. They wish to force upon us.

In a way I realize the author of the article won't read my nobody comment, I don't wish to turn my back to this author. The idea of my post is to show, 'what was fox news doing wrong back then? and what are they doing right now?"

Imagine they don't trust my words but they see nytimes and cnn admitting to their echo chamber. That they see the evil.
Mac Mini is capped at two external displays. The 13-inch Air and Pro are capped at one external display since it has a built in display.

Madam Secretary aired on network TV for its entire run. Its production, as far as I can tell, had nothing to do with Netflix.

In a world where Netflix has produced a number of shows that are counterexamples to most of your points (wherein meeting one or another of them would happen in a sensibly written show anyway), it's weird that you're using shows as examples whose production had little to do with Netflix.
didn't notice that. Wow that's pretty basic...
Sites like those (e.g. Wikipedia) tend to be driven by a CRM on the backend, with content maintained by a team of people, and so it's not super reasonable for the site to be regenerated and the static HTML file to be reuploaded to the server on every change. Cache the body page, put the timestamped footer on it, and serve it up. Easy peasy, been doing it since 1995.

To an extent, I was hoping to support use cases like this with the Pro version I rolled out recently. But perhaps I'm currently more out of the loop than you envision, in the sense that I'm not actively pairing people with advisors and it's just a product that advisors can use if they want. What do you imagine a more "bundled" offering might look like?
My experience is mixed, non safety-critical industries (but some regulated):

1. Requirements first written in Excel, later imported to Jama and later imported to HP QC/ALM for manual tests

Pros: Test reports in HP QC helped protected against an IT solution which was not on par with what needed and requested

Cons: Tests where not helping the delivery - only used as a "defence", requirements got stale, overall cumbersome to keep two IT systems (Jama, HP QC) up to date

---

2. Jira for implementation stories, with some manual regression tests in TestRail and automated regression tests with no links besides Jira issue ID in commit
Polarion was used by hardware and firmware teams but not software teams.

Pros: Having a structured test suite in TestRail aided my work on doing release testing, more lightweight than #1

Cons: Lots of old tests never got removed/updated, no links to requirements in Jira/Polarion for all tests (thereby losing traceability)

---

3. Jira with Zephyr test management plugin for manual tests, automated tests with no links besides Jira issue ID in commit

Pros: Relative lightweight process, since plugin to Jira was used

Cons: Test cases in Zephyr was not updated enough by previous team members

---

4. Enterprise tester for requirements/test plans, Katalon for e2e tests by separate QA team
With automatic tests with Jira issue ID in commit (no links to Enterprise tester) inside team

Pros: Again, rather lightweight when it comes to automated regression tests inside team

Cons: Process not optimal, Enterprise tester only for documentation but no actual testing

---

Today, there are good practices which helps building quality in - DevOps, GitOps, automatic tests (on several levels), statistical code analysis, metrics from productions...
Try to leverage those to help guide what tests needs to be written.

Many times requirements/user stories are incomplete, no longer valid or simply wrong. Or a PO may lack some written communication skills.

Overall, I want to focus on delivering value (mainly through working software) rather than documenting too much so I prefer a lightweight process - issue ID on commit with the automated tests.
Bonus points if you use eg markers/tags/whatever in test framework like JUnit/pytest to group and link to eg Jira issue ID.
ace combat rules!

Now I'm curious where the survey was performed for example 2000 people from a city like Vancouver verses 2000 people from several major/minor cities across the county.

Regardless, thanks for the sample size references!
Not reliably. From my experience, the major search engine bots only see whatever is in the DOM until the DOMContentLoaded event or first X seconds which doesn't always see everything due to JavaScript's async nature.

You're also screwing your social media presence since most sites (Facebook, Twitter, Discord, etc.) only read the open graph tags of the initial document since they need instantaneous results.
Heavily cached server-side rendering and statically generated sites kinda converge at some point to the same thing

Some very old VHS movies still have a warning about not showing them to a group of more than 20 or so or only licensed for home/family viewing.

Trying to limit sharing is basically pointless, make it a bit harder perhaps but those extra viewers probably weren’t going to subscribe anyway.
Netflix is a very performance-focused company. Any employee who missed a target so widely would be fired under their cut-throat management system. Why does Reed get to stay?
Ya, totally right, those "try to scare you" lawyer letters from the neighbor who has their lawyer on speed dial are generally bullshit.

In this case of course nothing happened. But my friend said his neighbor just gave him a dirty look from then on but that would have happened anyway.

If someone can sue you they probably will, If they don't have a case their lawyer will send you a stupid letter.

As a Texan it sounds jarring and wrong when said by a non-Southerner. A bit like a lily white person suddenly dropping into AAVE. It's just cringe-inducing and I would like people who do it as an affectation (rather than something they grew up saying) to not do it.

As a white woman in the tech industry, the entire pipeline is leaky. You're discouraged from studying engineering before you go into college. You're discouraged once you're in college. You get less money and fewer advancements once you're in industry. Dudes creep on you and condescend to you, assuming you're a diversity hire. Even encouraging people will push you into non-technical roles because you have "soft skills". Eventually you get sick of all the bullshit and you take one of those non-technical roles, or you just leave the industry altogether.

Even if you feed more people into one end of the woodchipper, very few will make it out the other end intact.
Interesting reading replies here. Way more formalities than I've ever engaged in.

Requirements are codified into test cases. After signoff of the spec/design/test plan is complete, there's no going back and checking.
I would argue that in 2004 there were still more processor architectures that used the stack for function parameters and return addresses than those that used registers.

“ ...you're on Hacker News.”

Am I? I know that’s the name but it’s not really for hackers. It’s mainly for businesspeople who are very sensitive, don’t really know much of anything beyond their desk job or coding and don’t care much for the hacker ethos.

If I post like myself, really like myself, that is, extremely weird and sarcastic, I’ll get the Socrates/Voltaire/Diogenes treatment and be shown the door. I think people like to call themselves hackers, or pirates, or “code ninjas” —- it is escapism from the truth that they no longer do it for the love, it’s for the money, or they are doing it for the job, the prestige, the “do you know who I am?!” Effect.

Which I don’t care about cuz I’m a hacker. I didn’t get your fancy 4 year degree. I’ll write your code dude but I’m not going to fawn over wealth like it’s valuable because to me it isn’t.

I’ve seen many people get sensitive or bristly attitudes here, report the post, downvote, because they don’t have much to say or engage with.

They disagree, and that’s it.

I am “man you disagree with” and “bad man” because you disagree.

To be honest I don't see how this does not lead to lawsuits anyway. Its only a matter of time before the AI spits out something that is a bit too close to an artist's actual work. Withholding their data, which undoubtedly contains copyrighted material if they were just blindly scraping, will only forestall things. The earlier they start being transparent the better it will be for them in the long run.
