Bernie's wrong about everything here. SpaceX is far cheaper and faster than NASA internal development. NASA wanted two moon landers all along, so awarding two contracts is hardly a bailout. Tourists who visit the ISS pay NASA; they aren't subsidized by NASA. He'd be better off encouraging privatization and clawing back some of the resulting profits via higher taxes.

The cost is part of the reasons those never really caught on, not just participation. The number of titles I (and I assume, most people) will watch enough to warrant paying $20 for is vanishingly small. Even $4 a rental is a hard bar to pass at this point with streaming competing.

$1-2 to rent though? I'd be all over that. Weirdly, that's the cost to rent a physical disk at Redbox...but an on demand title anywhere is higher than that. Despite a streaming solution being cheaper to distribute, the fact it's more convenient/desirable, I guess, means it costs enough to price it outside of what I want to pay.

This feels like a really inefficient market.

A key point here is TikTok and the attention economy. At a high level, the entertainment/social media industries are based on a finite resource: attention. Netflix is losing the attention of users, especially younger users, to other platforms. Then there is attention loss due to other rising streaming services.

But yeah, the rate hikes are also hitting hard. Targeting account sharing more aggressively than they already do will lead to more cancellations. And the day Netflix shows me an ad, I will never use it again.
Ask HN: Twitter Lists has secret rules and is generally broken
WTF Twitter Lists!

I'm trying to make a list of accounts on Twitter using Twitter Lists. The UI in tweetdeck says you can add up to 100 accounts at a time.

Their anti-spaming tools clearly are creating a ton of crazy hidden rules that contradict their interface or documentation.

Turns out you can add only 40 at a time. But actually there's more shadow rules, because they limit you to adding that many every 15 minutes! Of course the error messages don't say this, takes experimentation.

Using API is even more janky. API calls say 300 "requests" every 15 min, but this also results in lock-outs.

Moreover, once you encounter a "shadow lock-out", you can't add to the list at all! You can't even add to any other list!

Twitter, you got all these neat tools. At least be clear WHAT are the rules. and if you work at twitter, please help!! I'm trying to make cool shit for earth day!
On the mention of being afraid of the light I thought that something like that was probably mentioned in the Bible, and sure enough:

https://biblehub.com/john/3-19.htm

> The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed…

Another thing; even though this effort might be doomed to fail, do you think there are good reasons to attempt to change language in such a way?

In general, I tend to be against changing language, but I'm open to being convinced that a certain effort might be worthwhile.

I'm also somewhat pessimistic due to thinking that some other changes I've seen might be inevitable in the long run (seeing how these changes are being used by people my age, I hope it is just fashion - oh and I'm not talking here about changes to the English language).

> though not a latino and not in the US, so I wasn't yet under any pressure to use it

To be fair, I've literally never heard anyone try to pronounce "latinx" outloud. And I live in one of the most stereotypical liberal/left-wing cities in the US (Seattle). The usage of that term seems to be mostly confined to a vocal twitter/internet minority and written form (whether online or in promotional materials for certain things).

Even here, this term is extremely fringe irl. And I don't think I've ever felt pressured to use it either, given I've never heard it in use (despite my friend group having a couple of people who are very left-leaning and are vocal about it).

I guess tl;dr, don't mistake a fringe vocal minority on the internet for an accurate representation of what it is like to actually live in the US (even when it comes to certain most heavily stereotyped big cities).
What societies had same sex marriages?
Absolute freedom of speech is a US Bill of Rights thing, and we backslide when it comes to political or sexual speech, e.g. with political Islam in the 21st century; Communism/Socialism/Anarchism in the early 20th century; and constantly when it comes to anything sexual, especially information about birth control, anything gay, anything involving miscegenation, or anything else that embarrasses a judge or gives him an erection.

The difference between the US and other places is that these things are usually reverted after a few decades by appeal to a clearly written first amendment. The most dangerous assault on US freedom of speech has been copyright, which has become an pretense to monitor all communications since sending information about birth control or sending porn through the mail ceased to be a public priority.

Vaguely defined "hate speech" is creeping up on becoming a reason for government censorship through the backdoor of "hate crime." "Hate crimes" are proved by proving a regular old crime was committed, then poring through the history of the person who committed the crime looking for "hate speech." "Hate speech" could certainly eventually expand to be indistinguishable from lèse majesté. A certain type of mind can see criticism of the President as a "hate crime."
Every newspaper is narrowly selective about what it writes about. Clearly the Guardian has chosen to write about free speech issues within the UK, regularly, putting the lie to what zozbot234 implied.

I suspect that I would classify as one who has aphantasia, as I can't picture images at will.

This isn't to say I have no capability of generating images as in my dreams, or in rare moments lucid dreaming. I'm also very 'visual' in thinking processes, not exactly in images but in relationships between parts. After thinking about a particular problem for a while I sometimes have a flash insight of a structure/shape that can solve it. The clearest example was a puzzle of how to balance 20 framing nails on the head of one nailed upright. When I woke up the next morning I had imagined the solution though not necessary rendering an image of it. [Postpone cleartext spoiler replies so folks get a chance to sleep on it.] In ML terms it could be like working in feature-space rather than image-space.
Why not look to small towns around state universities? Also, in the USA, look for micropolitan towns. Places that aren't tiny, but aren't major metro areas along with those kinds of challenges. Smaller towns can be easier places to afford homes, shorter distances to truly rural places. The people can be - not always though - challenging. May be more conservative politically and culturally. May be resistant to progressive ideas and efforts. Wife and I live in a smaller university town and love it here. It is a small community of similarly minded people who like the town and like technology and/or share similar progressive ideas. Fortunately we can hop in a car and be in a big city in an hour or so and enjoy big city entertainment and shopping. That said, our town punches well above its weight with plenty of shopping and entertainment opportunities.

One, different systems. Two, when Xi took out senior members of his opposition, it absolutely prompted concern abroad. There was no ensuing rioting or breakdown in the rule of law, so calm minds prevailed. This is a rando lawmaker being taken out for tweeting, not a rival power centre; it looks petty and stupid.

Frankly, the whataboutism in response to this article, on this thread, make it sound more like Russia or Turkey than China or the U.K. If the people aren’t in touch with reality, the government will be stupid.

You might be interested in Thief River Falls, Minnesota. Digikey is based there and one of the largest electronic retailers in the world, but the town itself is relatively small (few thousand people)

Afaik they're the only company to work for so it's a bit limited. But I have a friend who lives there and is one of their many developers and she loves it. I understood from her that they're staying permanently remote even after the pandemic, but they might give you preferential treatment if you're willing to move anyways. And I know she still has the possibility of going into the office whenever she wants and has great relationships with her coworkers.

Some of their problems are very interesting too, as much of the software is to run their highly optimized warehouse. Their whole schtick is that they can get your product out of the warehouse in just an hour or two, so if you can pay for fast shipping it will get to you however fast you want. And this ends up being a very interesting optimization problem with human and machine components as well.
> lambdas

Lambdas in the host language won't play well with remote RDBMSes -- you'd have to be able to serialize the lambda and make the serialized form reasonably efficient. I'm skeptical of lambdas for expressions in DB query APIs.

An expression like `foo + bar` has to become `.expr(plus("foo", "bar"))`, except, if you take this to its limit you'll want to use non-string objects to identify column names and other such things, and, again, it quickly becomes unwieldy.

You cover some of this in your comment, so I think we're in agreement:

> That "the API becomes unwieldy" is in fact inevitable.

And yet an API is kinda desirable.

Ultimately I think a query language with no constant literals, only query parameters, compiling to a standard AST that can also be constructed by APIs, may be the best way forward. One could then write in a QL to start with, compile to an AST, serialize into a host language if desired, modify and use that, or always use the QL, or even always use the API, unwieldy though it would be. Then lambdas could actually be in the QL and compiled on the fly as needed:

Query q = db.query();

q = q.from(...).join(...).using(...)
.select(...);
q = q.where(q.expr("foo + bar < baz"));

Ok, that snippet has a problem if we want `q` to be a unique pointer. Let's fix it up a bit:

QueryScope qs;
Query q = db.query();

q = q.from(...).join(...).using(...)
.select(...);

/* Get a context of in-scope identifiers, types, ... */
qs = q.getWhereScope();

/* Now we can compile an expression string */
q = q.where(qc.expr("foo + bar < baz"));

And a hybrid QL + API might look like:

QueryScope qs;
Query q = db.parse("SELECT ... FROM ... JOIN ... USING (...)");

/* Get a context of in-scope identifiers, types, ... */
qs = q.getWhereScope();

/* Now we can compile an expression string */
q = q.where(qc.expr("foo + bar < baz"));
Most of the money goes to the top, and if you are going to throw around inaccurate/loaded terms like stealing, two can play at that game. 1%ers take a larger slice of the pie than street thugs but we are misdirected and situation quietly swept under the rug.
Kinda crazy that using the number of streams you are paying for is now considered getting netflix for free.

That last line is the key, isn't it?

Sex used to(?) mean something. People were exposed to each other, vulnerable, sharing themselves. It was even intensely powerful, in the sense that new life might actually spring out of it.

But this is basically treating another unique, unrepeatable human person as a toy, and not even an exceptional one.

I can't help but think we've lost something important and are that much the poorer for it.

Is the liberation to live one's life in pursuit of the next orgasm really worth it if we have to lose what sex was to get there?
That's not true, there are a few internal-only lists that have different contents (lots of overlap but not 100%). Different PAs have adopted different lists.

This is the public one:

Germany doesn’t censor the swastika. It censors Nazi propaganda. So, you’re free to draw the swastika let’s say for Diwali. But if you use it for political purposes, it isn’t allowed for obvious reasons.
Very well said, I think. I would add that (1) and (2) overlap, as well. For example, speech railing against sharia might be classified as offensive to Muslims. But it becomes a political issue if a party or candidate supports a policy of allowing some limited form of sharia to have official status.
So is the substitution of moral smugness for complex thought.
Ozark, Stranger Things, Grace and Frankie are all wrapping up. Archive 51 was great and very well received and cancelled immediately.

Derry Girls is great but you can watch it months in advance on All4 with a dirt cheap VPN. There is a similar situation for Bodyguard.

They are expecting people to actually sign up (instead of sharing passwords lmao) and watch ads for the off chance that in a year or two maybe Squid Game season 2 is as good as season 1, or that they need to not miss out on Red Notice 2 and 3. It feels like they are literally betting that people need forgettable Gal Gadot movies in the same way that they need cigarettes.
For me, this brings to mind two examples I can remember of superhero comics failing even their now-core audiences of adults, or adolescents developing towards adults.

I quit reading Marvel comics towards the end of the first Civil War storyline (wow, exactly 15 years ago!). Peter Parker, as Spider-Man, becomes Tony Stark's poster boy for superheroes revealing their secret identities and registering with the government. But after a crisis of conscience, he defects from Stark's program and goes on the run with Aunt May and Mary Jane. A bounty goes out, and Aunt May takes a sniper bullet meant for Peter. In order to save Aunt May, Peter and Mary Jane make a deal with the conveniently Marvel-branded, IP-protected version of the Devil. The cost is that history is altered so that Peter and Mary Jane were never married, and neither they nor anyone else would remember them ever being married. I believe some of the writers at the time came right out and said that it was easier to go back to writing angst-ridden, "will they or won't they" romance storylines than to try to write two adult characters maintaining a successful marriage. For me as a young adult, Peter the successful husband was a much more desirable hero figure than a less mature Peter who struggled with women. That caused me to drop Marvel comics, and I have seldom gone back since, even though I understand they've done a number of better-written and more impactful storylines since.

DC Comics, on the other hand, has seemed absolutely desperate to catch up with the Disney-Marvel juggernaut during the past decade, and one of the ways that's manifested is trying to market the Joker's girlfriend Harley Quinn as some kind of perverse equivalent to a Disney princess. Since that means Harley can no longer be a straight villain, they recently introduced the Joker's new girlfriend, Punchline. Punchline's super-villain origin story is that she was on a high-school field trip to a TV station when the Joker broke in, took everybody hostage, and forced her to read whatever insane screed he had prepared live on-air. As a result of this, over the years, she became more and more obsessed with the Joker, and by the time she was a young adult, was putting out a podcast tracing the Joker's most famous crimes. The Joker caught wind of it, recruited her as a new love interest and protege, and off the storyline goes. If my kids were reading this, I would need to sit them down and explain that it is reinforcing strongly negative stereotypes about how women respond to trauma and abuse. The writers and editors fail to do so within the context of the story, as they're mainly looking for a new anti-hero to market, since that's what's sold so well for years now.
