Netflix was already willing to alienate users by stooping to conditional joint acquisitions.

Better Call Saul is proudly labeled a "Netflix Original".

But you couldn't watch season five on Netflix until April, even though it originally aired two years ago.

Had to let AMC reair it first, right?

Think season six will air on schedule with AMC in August?

Meanwhile, HBO Max, and Hulu by extension, released The Batman nearly on time with theatres.

It's clear that Netflix simply lacks the content creation supply chain of its competitors.

And no amount of price hikes, ads, excuses, or desperate back-door deals will solve that.

Their greatest hope was to capitalize on successful originals, like Love Death and Robots.

But in three years they've managed to deliver only two season of that show.

Which, even with the pandemic, should have occurred much faster given it's an animated anthology.

I wouldn't be surprised if I woke up one morning to find news of a Sony and/or Paramount buy out.
With the established content producers starting their own streaming services, or having more competition of buyers for their content, it seems Netflix has little choice but to move into production. Otherwise it would be a slow death as competitors move in and content prices are bid up. Just my guess though.
So we can’t even get an AI to recognize basic obstacles in its path but self driving cars are coming any day now ?

I am puzzled at how a system with such basic bugs is rolled out to production. Even obstacle detection hasn’t been solved yet. Yes it might be hard but an 8 year old in a GoKart would do better than this.

In reality these types of changes often just make learning more difficult, because now you have to learn that it's called both "motherboard" and "mainboard". At least for a generation or two.
A nudging system like this better have a much higher signal to noise ratio otherwise it really amps up the clippy-like annoyance. Keep in mind this isn't something you have to go turn on in a menu for "help me write inclusively", it's enabled by default for all; and while I might personally appreciate the reminders when they do work, I'm not sure as many users of the software think playing word police should be a priority.
> It's time to update this kind of guides with at least 2.5GbE networking. I suspect most FTTH ISPs will start defaulting to 2 or even 5 Gbps soon

Indeed. I'm ordering my 8 Gbit/s "fiber to the home" router and it should come soon (45 EUR / month). The router comes with one SFP port doing 10 Gbit/s (!) while the four other ports are regular 1 Gbit/s ones.
USDC is very credible. It receives regular attestations from Grant Thornton:

And Polygon is an Ethereum sidechain, so it charges very low fees.

So given these objections are without merit, this feature is doing people living in countries which cannot otherwise receive Stripe payouts a favor.
Hey - developer of PowerToys Awake here. Would be happy to investigate. Feel free to open an issue in the GitHub repo (https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues) and I will look into it.
This is really great stuff!! I am both fascinated by and concerned for the way technology is influencing society and vice versa. The complexity of these interactions and their far reaching implications, I'm surprised how little people seem to care or even be aware of it.

I'm quite new to these social science issues. If you're open, I would love to follow up with more questions. :)
I cited specific tricks, explained how I think they're done, and asked if you agree or not. Genuinely no idea what the answer is. Ah well.
I believe GP and you are talking about two different actors; the individual committing the final act, and the individual rallying others to the cause.

The soldier does not have a larger strategy in mind; he kills for simple and extreme reasons. The government however is rarely so naive, and initiates their wars with much larger goals in mind. Even with a dictator, they represent the filtered understanding of many advisors, and balance the many goals of the group (so almost by definition, they cannot sustain a singular goal with singular purpose for long). The individual just needs one reason to do what he does, which might be as simple as “his boss told him to”.
Can this overcompressed material continue to exist at room temperature and pressure?

It would be remarkable, but I guess it's hard to imagine how that could work.

Disclaimer: I built the tool.
I prefer Git, I've invested a lot in learning it, and have done presos and training for it over the years. But I cut my teeth on CVS, and Subversion was a significant improvement over CVS.

Not that I expect anybody to maintain historical perspective. Linus Torvalds famous 2007 rant at Google shitting all over Subversion and its developers set the tone for a long tradition of anti-Subversion anti-history. Never mind "learning from what's gone before", it's like there was only backwards progress until the tool du jour was suddenly invented ex nihilo.
It's certainly more central to the device itself. You can run a computer without a GPU, NIC, sound card, etc, but regardless of the peripherals you want, you're gonna need some kind of motherboard/mainboard to tie everything together.

I've heard claims that it's a motherboard because it has female connectors (i.e., sockets), but that's sort hard to square with the contemporary coinage of "daughterboards."
Did it? Some cultures surely put meaning into it but did all of them?
So is there a committee or person responsible for maintaining the bot bad words list?

> Amazon claims that Alexa isn't always listening too and/but/yet also that it'll wake up immediately when you say the right wake word

Strictly Alexa, the device, is always listening in order to trigger on the wake word. It's just that audio doesn't get sent to Amazon until it hears a wake word (then it just streams the audio to Amazon to process it. locally it's only smart enough to listen for a wake word). This is verifiable from sniffing network traffic, it's not sending enough to be a live audio stream at all times unless the wake word is said.
7 weeks of MX time plus parts will easily run into 2-or-3-teslas price territory, assuming it is reparable at all. SF50 is one giant fiberglass shape. If you crack it seriously enough, there is no repair possible.
It was treated that way by one commentator on MSNBC.

But let’s not forget that the original term was FANG and didn’t include Apple - the most valuable tech company or Microsoft that has been in the top 5 since 2000.

Netflix is around #50 in the most valuable companies - it at least it was.
It's a long-standing conspiracy theory that there's a shadowy cabal of LGBT people that are trying to confuse and convert kids into being LGBT themselves, because a new supply of LGBT people wouldn't exist without tricking them into being gay. Which is ironic, considering the prevalence of conversion therapy, but conversion therapy is consistent with their assertion that people are converted into being gay, so it follows that they can be converted out of it.

A lot of those same people who believe that are bitter that some teachers are LGBT and are allowed to teach their kids, and legislation that prevents teachers from discussing their lives, the lives of students with two moms or dads, the lives of students who are LGBT themselves, or any kind of LGBT acceptance, is how they're coping with it. That, and creating a defamatory crusade and moral panic against the people they don't like.
Importantly, Disney's initial reaction was quite lukewarm. Disney employees were rather upset by the noncommittal bill's response from their CEO, and started staging walkouts. Disney employees slated to be relocated from California to Florida (so Disney can stop leasing such expensive offices and has room to expand) were starting to reconsider their relocation plans. So their CEO Bob Chapek gave a more direct rebuke of the bill, which caused this reaction from Republicans.
I feel like long names were popularized with Java and books like Clean Code (2008). Today you see names like "destinationAccountForTransfer". 10 years back it was common to see "destTransfer". 15 or so years ago you might see "szDest" instead.

Hi again Cipater. It seems I replied to your post while you were editing it. (And by the way: apologies for said reply, which I now re-read and is full of typos and imperfections. Time constraints, rushing, culpable omission of re-reading it properly...)

I express myself that way because I use what I believe is the proper process in composing, and that is the outcome. I "think, evaluate, consider, formulate, hone": you formulate and judge in cycle (and that is valid for the structure, the ideas, the nodes which are the terms and should be as "right" as possible...). It's how one should be supposed to think... (And in fact, it's not a formal process: it's natural.) In a way, you formulate the expression as if you sculpted. Of course I am just guessing what you find "strange", because, as you surely understand, to me it is not.

The "result" you indicate could also be a consequence of the fact that I read a relatively large amount of literature since the earliest age. In some ways to be defined, that must have an impact.

About communication, as said, it is a work shared by both parts: you express something and the part of your interlocutor is to put the right effort into understanding it or just postpone. Otherwise, the "common" part fails. Your duty is to be understandable. If the other one did not perform its own processing, the shared object would remain "communicated" (by the first) yet not "made common".

Of course, more on a practical interpretation, the problem of the /targeted/ form of expression is not trivial (in the sense that there is little to do about it): the "ideal sculpture" is for the general, untargeted communication - and it will be inadequate for some. These will require explanations, which you cannot anticipate in full, and will want to add upon being requested clarifications - the intended reader does not want to be bothered with redundant (to them) «With 'term1', what is meant...» (and you do not want to write the equivalent of a legal document per post).

About aspects of my comments reminding of AI: I do not know why some of you see them that way (apart from the inexcusable case of that which does not understand and _consequently_ decides "it must be nonsense" - remarkable paradox). Current AI is depthless (in content grasp), and I have quite strong grounds to say that here it's the opposite (meaning that the consideration is "conceptual" and reflective).

One guess (of those most relevant) is that some individuals are not used to identify complex structures outside the strict realm in their work (note that I have read posts in HN of people that say "they do their job for the money" - you will not "export" what you dislike).

By the way: just minutes ago I was awarded a «That is exceptionally well articulated, fully on your side» from a co-member at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31121890 . As you see, this way of expression is the "rule" (on this side), but while some show occasionally to be confused others do appreciate it, further to subscribing to it.
I've had to build too many carousels over my career working for a major publisher. No matter how good our architecture was, no matter how good our css was and no matter how good our JS optimization was, they all sucked. Carousels need to go the way of blinking scrolling text.

Not all carousels are horrendous, but they are all bad. Even worse, all use cases have a significantly better, simpler solution.
That's 25 years without Linux or Windows ports.
Something else to consider, you want to be within 30 or so miles from a grocery store and a hospital. I would suggest looking for land outside a medium city.
WSJ: Sheryl Sandberg pressed Daily Mail to spike stories about ex Bobby Kotick
>Your average person, your average BitTorrent user even, does not have the skill set required for the running of Linux to be anything near trivial

This says more about Windows users than it does about Linux.

Numerous distro maintainers have already made things as easy as possible. Will you be satisfied when the installer has only one comically large button? How braindead does the setup process have to be? Have you actually used Linux in the last 15 years?
Creating branches is not expensive in SVN, because it’s copy-on-write (server-side). Maybe you mean switching the local working copy to a different branch?
I just want to say that those medieval doctors, I guess, were on to something! Blood letting is a thing again!

On that note I guess leaches would work too.
What drew me to Horizon EDA was that it has interactive router (based on code from KiCad) with push and shove functions. It also has straightforward interface, and it's fast. Recently ODB++ support was added, probably the first (and only?) for open source EDA.

I wish it had ready to use footprints (other than basic resistors, caps, etc), especially from LCSC catalogue.
> question whether, now that they have moved so solidly into content production, Netflix is actually a scalable / viable company any more

Netflix is a scalable company precisely because they produce content, when they are share other people's content any other platform can do that. But when they create their own content suddenly they operate based on a fixed cost rather than paying for other people's content.
one-off "drops" are high volume and are also completed through apps these days, even instagram's marketplace is conducive to this, an immediate convenience that doesn't wait for people to think "ok thats normal", the commerce just happens. with apple pay integration and similar rails you really don't need a site - even for non-crypto users.
Maybe in your area, but it's extremely far from typical.
> It's sad that we cannot own titles but are forced to rent them from these streaming services that can't seem to get their shit together.

It's sad that the general public cannot get its shit together and every man jack keep and use his own library.

I know because I'm one of the sad sacks that owns hundreds of original LPs, CDs, VHSs, DVDs, and also has a couple TB of HDD worth of borrowed series, and hasn't touched the damn pile of 'precious' in ages.

"Give me Convenience or Give me Death", as those 1980s punks so neatly summed it up.
Do you have any figures on this? I know during the Reagan administration the federal government heavily cut subsidization of rural areas, helping to accelerate their decline.
Very cool! Running the not-well-maintained https://hndex.org search engine (and other memory hungry linear algebra based services) was also my original motivation for tunneling to my home as opposed to hosting on a VPS.

Are you hosted via a residential ISP? It's my hunch that peering agreements favor routes of consumer -> data center -> consumer as opposed to consumer -> consumer. That's mainly why I tunnel. Has that been your experience?

I know "it's literally 1984" [1] is a meme but c'mon... This is ridiculous even for Google. The systematic deconstruction and sanitation of language so that it conforms to a particular group's ideological leanings is unacceptable, especially in the hand's of a mega corporation.

I think the reasons in this case are absolutely justified. Disney should stick to entertainment, and stay out of educational curriculums.
I can see their privacy focus behind this, and I kinda like it... But this pushback against call recording can make harder for whistleblowers, or people under abusive relationships that need proof, to get evidence. Considering most phones don't have a 3.5mm audio jack, legit call recording seems hard to do for the average user

I don't know what to think about this
Same for me in the early 2000’s. :)
That's white space. Difference between source and src is more like a 1/8 note vs 1/4.
Yeah, GLOW was great fun. Shows rapping up is good. Cancelled early no good.
Because the amount of effort required to fight people who are passionate about an ideology when you don't particularly care is far greater than just going along and changing a few words. Sure this can result in catastrophic outcomes sometimes (e.g. Nazism) but most people just want to get their paychecks and go home or do whatever job they have without going into politics.
> The there is definitely a question whether, now that they have moved so solidly into content production, Netflix is actually a scalable / viable company any more. When they were just sending other people's content around and doing it much cheaper and better that was innovative and different.

to borrow cliched terms, big companies protect their position by either building a monopoly (Bell, your traditional telco) or building a moat (Apple). Netflix started with an effective monopoly on film distribution/streaming. at some point Disney & friends extended their moat vertically (Disney+), eating into the distribution layer that Netflix previously monopolized. perhaps leadership understood the monopoly would only ever be temporary and decided to build out their internal production house as such. whatever the case, Netflix still has the possibility of transforming this into a moat that stands alongside the other players in this space. maybe it can exist as this, but it will surely be less profitable than its monopoly days.
A brilliant term, and it brings me back to what annoys me the most about all of this: Clippy was shite and got in the way of productivity, and now I'm going to have another "helper" in a tool that I use every day, and it is going to get in my way without even achieving its apparent goals because this stuff just does not work.

To push the Clippy thing further, Bill Gates once gave us "content is king". Google's Woke Clippy needs to learn that "context is king" - but it can't ever do that with language; well, not without a general AI.
The new agreement says:

"provides that you will only be permitted to pursue claims against PayPal on an individual basis, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative action or proceeding;

provides that you will only be permitted to seek relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) on an individual basis"

I'm wondering if this language is to try to prevent that tactic?
> Surely there’s room for improvement?

A significant number of people, perhaps even a heavy majority, think there's nothing wrong with "landlord" that needs improvement. Change for change's sake isn't a great justification.
i think we're just talking about western culture, more specifically american culture, which was founded on and has spent most of its history confronting anglican and protestant values
Small towns have grocery stores and hospitals...

My small town has a Walmart supercenter and another grocery store

Rural is generally farm land outside of small towns, that's where people drive to get groceries.

Land outside a medium city is a suburb, not rural.

"Age appropriate" means "whatever we feel like being uncomfortable at the time of expression to any time afterwards so long as the person we have decided to turn into an offender is still within the system and therefore capable of being punished by it"
Have you tried asking your current job to relocate you to a European office? If so you could keep your job and take a pay cut of 10% - 15%.

You can buy a home in the United States and rent it out while you're in a foreign country and use it for yourself if/when you come back. You don't even have to set foot in the US. Buy in a suburb near a university town. You won't be making much of a profit when mortgage and property tax are factored in, but enough to pay for property taxes. You just have to be discerning about who you rent to. This worked for a university professor I know of while he lived in Israel. You should check with state and local laws regarding tenancy and renting to make sure you don't afoul of any odd esoteric bylaw or something of that nature, especially if you're trying take advantage of any tax exemptions.

If you're making 100k per year, you're starting to approach the limit of the Foreign Tax Credit. Keep this in mind when negotiating increases in pay in the future. Other ways you might end up double or even triple-taxed (in case you weren't aware, the US taxes citizens and residents on worldwide income).

America and France have a tax treaty which also list any obligations and conditions regarding Social Security and or France's mandatory pension fund. Research it for any important details or exemptions you might qualify for.

Many countries will require you to have a bank account in their country to pay you. In accordance with FATCA, banks in foreign countries have a special obligation to document and report the holding of Americans overseas. Because of the outsized paperwork and threats to bank secrecy, for a period of time many banks refused to take American clients and dumped many existing ones. That's may still be the case for a number of banks today. You should research FATCA-friendly banks.

Why? Do you believe that men and women are biologically differentiated, but mentally identical?

If so, do you also not believe in transgender identity, as the entire concept is rooted in there existing a mental difference between genders?
Neither of those two things seem relevant at first glace, I could be wrong. Why would lidar be impacted by composites? Why would lidar be impacted by object height? Presumably you'd have sensors on the nose of the vehicle.
I think it was made for publishing scientific research, and you could flag the options for what you wanted checked. If you were okay without the passive voice hints, you could still make whatever you were writing very direct and concise, or less wishy washy.
There's a reason for it. Package sizes and weight limits are optimized for workers who are going to carry them. So yes in your case the total weight loaded on to the truck or plane may be the same, but loading/unloading 3x40 lb boxes and carrying them to your front porch is very different from doing the same with a single 115 lb box.

Airlines work the same way. 2x50 lb bags cost $30 each. One single 100lb bag has a $200 surcharge.
Altered Carbon was an amazing ride before it hit the wall. Really a shame how it couldn’t maintain that magic for longer but happy to have enjoyed it however short lived.
I'm hugely grateful that you took a detailed and meticulous reading of the article to find out such a large list of mistakes. Being honest, I already thought that I should have revisited with caution the legibility and shape of my language there before any submission. But my desire to share this little advance won the battle, I apologize for such a shame.

I have updated the doc according to your suggestions, and including several others. I will indeed try to formalise the article early tomorrow.

Once again, I can't thank you enough for your detailed feedback.
