> And doesn't provide any money for future shows that you might enjoy.

Which means that dinosaur-industry would finally have to arrive in the 21st century. People are very much willing to pay for things they enjoy - see Twitch Subscribers and Patreons for examples. Paying for shitty catalogues where the parts that you actually enjoy are distributed across multiple services just isn't cutting it.

Good riddance to all those copyright-attorneys and other parasites leeching off of the entertainment industry.
I didn't suggest it was "hurting" children however I do believe it hurts the overall quality of the programming.

One example that probably flirts the line with hurting children was Netflix's Cuties.

"Netflix is also the streaming service behind "Cuties," a wildly controversial French film that tells the coming-of-age story of an 11-year-old girl as she discovers her maturing self, all while looking for acceptance in her religious family and group of young dancers she hopes to befriend"

If you want examples of pardon the term but I guess "woke" programming, this list is pretty extensive on Netflix. You can do a quick google search yourself to see lots of examples here.

My personal take (as someone who is left leaning) is when these messages are bombarded into programming it often feels forced.. even perhaps propagandized. This level of inauthenticity hurts the overall artistic and entertainment value of the programming (just my two cents).
On the contrary, world leaders who can live 1000 years will be much further-sighted than those we have now. And we may actually be able to solve hard problems like safe and sustainable nuclear energy, how to build a modern soceity that encourages mindfulness and collective enlightenment (instead of driven by mindless comsumerism and stress-coping mechanisms), etc.

Also, there is something about compassion and love that we do not understand that are physiologically benefit to the person. I do believe we live in a world where niceness eventually prevails, and if someone is able to live a healthy long age, they likely have embraced death wholeheartedly, and are good and kind, (esp as they age and learn from their mistakes instead of getting stuck in behavioural patterns).
I was really skeptical of subscribing to Apple TV (an additional streaming service really?) but after watching some of the Apple content I'm a convert. Ted Lasso, Severance, Pachinko, and many more.

There's just so much cheap, quickly produced, B-level content that it dilutes the brand.
Living longer lives will definitely increase space travel. More people would be ready to sacrifice a few decades of their lives if that means space exploration. We would eventually colonize the solar system.

I feel if we could literally halt death a lot of hedonism would stop. That YOLO feeling that plagues most of humanity would mostly go away. We would suddenly be a species with a clear aim. To know more about the universe and ourselves. We would find meaning in our lives and hopefully wisen up a little.
About time AWS offered a managed streaming service
POST with a query as payload is not a problem if the search is a resource.
Ok, have now created a few profiles of people who are hard to buy for in my life, having thought about their interests when it's not urgent and saving the results is great, and while it's actually useful right now I also assume the recommendations will just improve (e.g. easy win is I was in a conversation a relatives house and found out about the mini-cult of everydaycarry.com, where these guys practically subscribe to buying this stuff)

I really like how text based the input is. As a man, I'm never going to use pinterest or instagram, whereas this is a tool. The only UX clunk for me is around entering tags and my hyper suspicions around privacy - however I really like how PII about your recipients isn't required.

This is valuable to me because my social life means I am a constant houseguest to very different people and finding house gifts is a non-trivial time demand, I also need to send thank-you gifts to volunteers and trades/services, and occasionally give staff recognition for over and above value work. These all mean I can't afford cheap things and tchotchkas, or the time searching for and filtering them. I'm hoping your app makes it easier to be thoughtful. For many years, my reference point for gifts used to be the FT's howtospendit (disclosure: i have written for them) and they may be a useful partnership, but I'd rather keep track of the people than having to know what cool things are.

This is an elegant idea. Thank you. I hope it flies for you.
Netflix had a long tail, when it was a DVD rental service. Netflix streaming has never had a long tail and definitely don't now. They presently have less than 4000 movies, including all their 'originals' (which should probably be called 'derivatives'.) This is scarcely a long tail as far as I'm concerned. I cancelled my account years ago because there was nothing I wanted to watch. I realized I spent two or three times as much time browsing the catalogue as actually watching something, and half the time I was settling for something I'd already seen. Nothing I've seen or heard even remotely tempts me to come back.

Such maps presumably still had the issue of ocean tiles.
I disagree with the parent comment that is is commonplace (I think it is rare) but I have definitely seen it. Several episodes of shows for girls under 5 have the trope "boys/grownups say girls can't do X" which the girl characters have to overcome. This is absurd material to expose to children of that age, who have never been exposed to the concept outside of children's programming! It's so far removed from the reality of young girls today it makes me doubt that the people writing this stuff even have children.
I have heard this term and briefly looked into it. My takeaway was it’s a vps with prebaked software/config offered by shady looking providers. Is that roughly correct or did I get lost in adwords?
THIS. I wish HN had the ability for us to upvote comments.
They always seemed to be very shill-y and collaborative with FSB and Putin's government.

Binance were also the first to collaborate with Russian government when FSB successfully lobbied crypto regulations that allowed only Central Bank coin and outlawed everything else. They also promised to share people's data "breaking the law".

I won't be surprised if many crypto spots would turn out honeypots. Willingly collaborating, threatened with murder or taken over by FSB and Putin-linked criminal groups.
It’s been a while but my practice used to be:

pay full price for the online offering (conducting the transaction in a browser) and then just download the content from BitTorrent.

I would happily defend that practice in front of a jury of my peers.
I wouldn't recommend BitTorrent/μTorrent, they're now run by a Chinese cryptocurrency company and have ads.

qBittorrent is an open source alternative that also has my favorite feature, downloading a file in sequential order so as to stream it immediately rather than waiting until it all finishes downloading.
All this. Plus, if you live in a country that's not the US, half the streaming services aren't available, and on the ones that are, half the content is missing because it's 2022 and geographic region licensing is still a thing.

AFAICT those can't observe OOO of CPUs, just nondeterminism from interleavings different threads. I.e. they will give you sequential consistency unless you have other, worse races.
Maybe, but I'd pay for better content and UX. Many movies above that royalty threshold just aren't available. Also Netflix must die because they canceled Cowboy Bebop.

About time anyway. Always next version of the business they put out of business. That's the way it works, especially with the deflation threat of technology. If you're a tech business and you can't maintain a margin so you have to raise rates, then something is up, broke, stockholder greed, personal greed, etc.

Steal verb

1: to take the property of another wrongfully and especially as a habitual or regular practice

Yes, piracy is stealing according to the dictionary, especially if done habitually. That the owner is left with a copy of the work is immaterial to the act of theft.
During quarantine I switched to mostly movies. They require more singular focus (it's harder to watch a movie while doing other things), don't really have the binging problem (2 hour and done instead of just continually extensions of 45 minutes), and are generally higher quality. I've seen some very good (Memories, Son of the White Mare), some very bad (I went through a Bakshi phase), and overall decided I prefer this to watching yet another sitcom or graphic novel adaptation on tv.
It doesnt make business sense for the normal case, but the unexpected covid lockdowns and inaction on immediately selling the buildings expecting to go back. Later to find out you aren't going back?

Like in OP's pov, the intention is 2 days a week but as he expects, it's just to slowly ease back into 5 days a week. No doubt seeing that the lower cost being to take some HR losses is less than the huge discount in selling the building.
Stocks got valuations into the hundreds and lower thousands times revenue. This is only sane if there is space for the business to grow a hundred times, what for those large companies is obviously not true.

Now that the US money hose decreased it's flow a little bit, the insanity of those valuations is hurting.

Wouldn't the appropriate choice be to not pay for the service AND not pirate? That seems like the best way to send the message. Pirating gives the impression that you want to view their content but not pay for it. So they should invest in locking down their content, not improve their experience.

> Why do actors and movie studios, producers, and glorified CDNs/streaming services think they are entitled to tens of millions of dollars for producing a TV show?

Because that is the agreement they made for selling their labor/services/content to the buyers of the labor/services/content.

Correct, you do not owe them anything.
it's about control.
Carl Franklin's Blazor Train
Automated planning is computationally intensive, so you'd want to reimplement any such system using a low-level language, with easier support for parallel and/or distributed compute.
The challenge is that even one day/week frequency places fairly significant constraints on where you can live. It gives you some more flexibility; a "super commute" one day a week is probably fine. I couldn't/wouldn't do the 90 minute commute into the nearest major city (either by car or train) daily on an ongoing basis but I'd be fine doing it once a week. If the company would pay for it, you could potentially even fly in now and then.

People would also need to sync on the schedule. But it's certainly doable in some circumstances.
Theft, in plain english, is defined as the dishonest appropriation of property belonging to another with the intention to permanently deprive. Stealing is the act of theft.
Fox isn’t surprising—old people have always been the core demographic for Limbaugh, etc.

CNN’s turn, I think, is all about Trump. Old democrats like my dad are the exact audience for unhinged 24/7 anti-Trump content like CNN has become. These are the folks who built “our institutions” and have the deepest faith in them. Trump’s disregard for those institutions drives them nuts, much more so than any policy.

Younger democrats, I think, are more cynical about everything. They might hate Trump because of his stances on immigration or policing, but not necessarily any more than they hate any other Republican who has the same views. And it’s not going to get them to watch an anti-Trump rant on loop.

I suspect that’s why CNN’s ratings have collapsed since Trump left office. The non-Trump left wing stuff isn’t compelling to my dad. He thinks parents should decide what kids learn in schools, the police should be fully funded, we should thoroughly vet afghan refugees, etc. CNN also lost the Trump-hating institutionalist conservatives they had picked up. My wife was obsessed with Trump-gate while it was happening, but she’s been reading National Review since high school and isn’t going to tune in to hear why government spending isn’t what’s causing inflation.

I'd call them abstractions. This is how it's - high level programming languages (C#) are just abstractions so that we don't have to remember machine instructions. Similar to a name in Contacts connecting to a phone number; the former is far easy to remember.

I think a significant number of people get into leadership roles because they like human interaction. Their jobs still consist of doing human interaction all day. And human interaction is genuinely very unpleasant on Zoom/Slack relative to real life.

Frankly I don’t think there is an amount you could pay me to do back-to-back Zoom meetings all day every day. My price would be high enough that I’d retire on it pretty quick. Management doesn’t have to flee the industry in protest of intolerable working conditions; it controls the working conditions. We should it expect it, all else being equal, to secure the working conditions best adapted to doing management work. And that means presence.
Legally that wouldn't be theft.
Mostly when you need a ledger like functionality to your data. Datomic preserves the history of all the changes by design so it is very easy to reconstruct the history of changes to your data.

If this describes the majority of your problem space then Datomic is a good fit. Otherwise I would stick to a popular RDBMS like Postgres to leverage the community behind it. You will have a much easier time interacting with a well understood open source engine.
What is a "good model" to you?
In those cases, your mere presence costs the operator more (fuel cost/ wear and tear/limited number of seats) - so sure, those cases could be considered stealing, but I don't think they're in the same realm as downloading entertainment.
> he will implement a patreon style subscription, there is a lot of money there thats twitter leave on the table

I don't think that's any better than the current scheme; infact, it could be worse becasue the current ad system has centralized control which can check on extremist echo-chambers. I suspect Patreon-style funding will increase polarization[1], with the "content-creators" optimizing for what brings in the most money, not necessarily their thoughtful ideas.

> That thought would be interesting enough to chew over, but the researchers have gone one hypothesis further: that the fire was more than mere illumination and its flickerings acted to provide a primitive animation to the plaquettes’ carvings.

I just checked, and LED lighting wasn't invented until much later than 15,000 years ago. So, whether they benefited from the primitive animation or not, I am confident they would have displayed their art by firelight anyway.

That's not how English works. "Stole", "steal", etc., have meanings beyond just illegally depriving someone of physical property. Here are several examples of correct usage of "steal" or "stole" that have nothing to do with illegally taking property.

• Someone says they do not like cats and have no interest in having one as a pet. A cute stray kitten shows up on their doorstep, they take pity and feed it. They fall in love with it and keep it. They might say that the kitten "stole" their heart.

• An actor playing a minor role in a play gives a performance that outshines the performance of the stars. Many would say that the actor "stole" the show.

• An employee of a rival company poses as a janitor to gain access to your lab and takes a photo of a whiteboard containing the formula for a chemical that is a trade secret in your manufacturing process. It would be common to say that the rival company "stole" your secret formula.

• When crackers gain access to a company's list of customer email addresses, passwords, or credit card numbers, it is commonly said that the data was "stolen".

• Alice is Bob's fiancé. Mallory woos Alice without Bob's knowledge. Alice elopes with Mallory. Most would find it acceptable if Bob said that Mallory "stole" his fiancé.

• A team that has been behind since the start of the game but wins on a last second improbable play is often said to have "stolen" the game.
CNN and the other elder networks drive viewership by telling retirees what to be angry about, providing them with the illusion of being engaged with society. It gives them something to talk about next time they’re leaning on the fence chatting to the neighbor. It’s a far cry from what CNN was in the 90s. But that core audience is now in their 70s.

If you're a tiny shop and can't afford payola, can you still get on these channels? If not, that's a super opportunity for someone to make a new channel. Call it "Synth I Get" or something and review every single thing anyone sends you.
Fair enough.

I don't disagree. However, you can buy/rent movies and shows on an individual basis from amazon/google/apple now. The prices are just higher. There seems to be some benefit to bundling shows together into a service. You can also just jump around from service to service, which is what I do.
Thank you! I was really disappointed none of the readme actually said what the extension name was.....
Not really. Streaming services like NetFlix are much easier. With Apple TV there is a universial search between all of the various services.

Running a large media server can actually be pretty costly on power bills these days.
