Expectations are everything in the stock market.

If wall street expected 2.5 million (most likely based on past growth and stock valuation) and Netflix reports a growth of 500k (if you keep the Russians in mind), it's a really really terrible result. It's 5 times below expectations.

For me it looks like this could just be the beginning and they're losing a lot more in the following years.
Do you think it’s related to Hong Kong or Xinjiang? Or even that Xi himself is ramping up tensions?

>No one should underestimate the Chinese people's staunch determination, firm will, and strong ability to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity," Xi said. "The historical task of the complete reunification of the motherland must be fulfilled, and will definitely be fulfilled."

>He struck a slightly softer tone than in July, his last major speech mentioning Taiwan, in which he vowed to "smash" any attempts at formal independence. In 2019, he directly threatened to use force to bring the island under Beijing's control.

>China's air force mounted four straight days of incursions into Taiwan's air defence identification zone from Oct. 1, involving close to 150 aircraft, though those missions have since ended. Xi made no mention of those flights.

You can generalize this to a developer/user friction budget.
It may be, but the whole "it's Netflix's fault and they should pay" was elegantly debunked by the post I replied to: Netflix doesn't push anything, ISP customers pull. And I'll add: the customers that want to pull more already pay more to begin with.
Some guy got 90 doses of the vaccine so he could sell the "vaccinated" status: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/03/german-man-sus... , I wonder if he'll be a case study of what overdosing does (although a sample of one is probably not useful).
It is not. It's very clearly not HD and we gigabit internet. Other services do fine. Especially rented HD movies that are streamed. So instead of using my TV for Netflix, I watch on my laptop with a browser plugin to set a proper resolution.
We're doing hybrid with two (or less preferably but they didn't say that out loud) days WFH per week and it's clear most people chose Mon and Fri as their two days. I think your office's way would be better.
All that automatic zooming and whirring and auto-playing as my cursor moves around drives me batty! It's so distracting - it's harder to figure out what I might want to watch with all that chaos trying to grab my attention.
My codebase is more complex than str, text, dict, int, bool.

So developers are creating complex custom types with union[custom_type_1, custom_type_2] where each custom type could have more unions of other custom types. These custom types then get imported everywhere. It is utter garbage.
I don't know who did it but someone killed CNN a long time ago when they started "reporting" on what was trending on Twitter. I remember the day many years ago and thinking "what the hell are they doing and why would someone sign off on that?" A single person on YouTube could just do this - no need for an organization like CNN. All such "news" sites are dead to me!
We’ll done. I read the autocorrelation post when it came out a couple weeks back and it didn’t sit right with me. But I didn’t have the motivation to figure out why. Your explanation resonates perfectly with my initial (snap) intuition and I thank you for taking the time to write it out and post!
As a former microarchitect, the contortions designs take on is due to a combination of factors, usually stemming from routing/timing problems in the design or backwards compatibility, and every now and then, compiler team requests.

For example, endian-ness looks like weirdness to a programmer, but not to a chip designer that needs to read in lower-order bytes first to decode an instruction quickly. Why not just change the instruction decoder? Because it needs to be backwards compatible to what was once a byte-sized ISA.

But for programmers who don't understand the history, it seems insane.
I work in a hospital in a large city (>1 million). I review admitting diagnoses on a regular basis, it's very common to see 'listerine ingestion' or 'hand sanitizer ingestion'. We have policies about where we place hand sanitizer in the hospital and evaluating patients that are at risk of ingestion. Unfortunately we have had many adverse events related to patients drinking it while admitted to hospital. An unfortunate part of our society is that some people are in the position where they drink these products.
I write firmware for nrf52 series chips. They are an absolute joy to work with. The sdks are well supported and there’s ample documentation/forums if you run into an issue.
The only "news" I get from modern streaming is the Youtubes of Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert and Last Week Tonight on HBO/Crave, I get the rest of my news from Twitter (where I follow various local journos and CBC).

Which I know isn't ideal and I should pay for a proper news source but the state of "print" journalism in Canada is really, really bad right now since all the non-government-run services are being bought up by ideological conservatives.
But they say all the users must be in the same “household”. I assume this means people living together, and excludes offspring off at university. But I hope I’m wrong!

Rust has atomic types that can observe races. Such "racy" code is useful because some concurrent code doesn't need the strictest guarantees (sequential consistency). Though, compared to C, Rust does not use the "Consume" memory ordering because so far it has turned out to be ill-defined.
Reorganize teams based on who wants to be in the office and who doesn't. Seems like it won't be much fun or productive to be on a team where half the people want to work remote and the other half wants to be in the office.
On the website, scrolling doesn't work in mobile safari.
Subscriber counts are the #1 most important metric for any streaming service. Did you see what happened to Netflix the other day? Axios buried CNN+ subscriber counts in paragraph 14 of the earlier article and doesn't mention them at all in this one. The entire series is an attempt to blame corporate mergers and lack of executive leadership rather than the fact that CNN has terrible viewership and brand equity. You need to learn to be a more critical news reader.
Unless you spin it as a Uber Eats allowance (which they have a dedicated solution for[0]), perhaps, then you'll likely end up with a large amount of employees either not eating the catering because they don't like it, or forcing themselves to eat it because it's better than having to go out and spend their own money on food.

I am in leadership at a company and at least for us it is absolutely not a ruse. My team wants hybrid (or remote), people we want to hire want hybrid (or remote), I want them to be happy. As a result we're hybrid/remote and incentives are about as aligned as they can be. Things might change but I view this as a reasonably likely steady state and am doing nothing to change it.
Professor who wouldn't use trans student's pronouns wins $400K settlement
A small, public university in Ohio agreed last week to pay one of its professors $400,000 after it rebuked him for refusing to use a transgender student's preferred pronouns.

Shawnee State University, in Portsmouth, roughly 85 miles south of Columbus, warned Nicholas Meriwether, a philosophy professor, in 2018 about not using the pronouns.

In response, Meriwether, who is an evangelical Christian, filed a federal lawsuit against the university that year, contending that officials violated his constitutional rights by compelling him to speak in a way that contradicts his religious beliefs.

The settlement of the case follows a three-year legal battle that ended last year, with the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in Meriwether’s favor. Meriwether's legal representation, the Alliance Defending Freedom, applauded the agreement to compensate him.

“This case forced us to defend what used to be a common belief — that nobody should be forced to contradict their core beliefs just to keep their job,” Travis Barham, senior counsel for the alliance, said in a statement last week. “Dr. Meriwether went out of his way to accommodate his students and treat them all with dignity and respect, yet his university punished him because he wouldn’t endorse an ideology that he believes is false."

Meriwether's settlement included a payout for his attorney fees and assurance from the university that he will "never be mandated to use pronouns, including if a student requests pronouns that conflict with his or her biological sex," according to ADF's statement.

The Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative Christian law firm based in Arizona, has a decadeslong track record of litigating against LGBTQ rights, and has been labeled an anti-LGBTQ “hate group” by the Southern Poverty Law Center, a designation ADF disputes. According to its website, the group aims to secure “generational wins” to ensure that “the law respects God’s creative order for marriage, the family, and human sexuality.”

Over the last decade or so, the ADF's funding has more than doubled, from over $34.5 million in 2011 to more than $76 million in 2021.

Shawnee State said in a statement last week that it "adamantly" denies that it "deprived Dr. Meriwether of his free speech rights or his rights to freely exercise his religion," and called the settlement an "economic decision."

"We continue to stand behind a student’s right to a discrimination-free learning environment as well as the rights of faculty, visitors, students and employees to freely express their ideas and beliefs," the university said. "Over the course of this lawsuit, it became clear that the case was being used to advance divisive social and political agendas at a cost to the university and its students. That cost is better spent on fulfilling Shawnee State’s mission of service to our students, families and community."
I can assume Netflix does not have this kind of browsing simply due to amount of content they have.

Offering of Netflix is extremely poor if you crop out all the duplicate shows popping on your feed.

Ive decided to drop Netflix simply because:

- new interesting shows are popping up so rarely, there is no point to pay the monthly sub

- there is too much political agenda sold even in children shows (Kids really dont need this kind of crap)
I think it has more to do with design rules for metal layers. Between the rules for: min area, max area, min density, max density, and density gradient it can be tough to get artwork to be manufacturable, even if you have the space for it. No one wants to risk poor yields because of the art.

There was someone I saw on Twitter (which I can't find now) who kept a tally of all the sites that asked them to subscribe when they visited them. The total amount they'd need to spend to subscribe to everything they saw was something crazy like $350/mo.
I think they just have a small team. Most recent work has been on their software stack (emulator, compiler etc), which I think is fairly close to release, but I could be wrong about that.
Nearly everyone would be a better citizen if they swapped 95% of the time the spend on the news for reading classics and textbooks in political science, economics, and history. Even the days of the morning paper and evening TV news program were probably a bit much, as far as non-local news goes anyway, let alone today's constant torrent of news, between the horrible 24/7 news channels and the Internet.
Back when Netflix had DVDs the recommendation algorithm worked pretty well, at least for me. It's gotten gradually worse over the years. Or perhaps they no longer have much good content, so no recommendation algorithm would work well? Either way I guess it's time to cancel my subscription.
> If you intend to have children, but you don’t intend to have them just yet, you are not banking extra years as a person who is still too young to have children. You are subtracting years from the time you will share the world with your children.

Well it's both really. "Too young" varies from person to person, though. I know some people that really had their lives together in their 20s, and I know people in their 40s that are still too young to have kids.

We talk about age because it's easily measured, but we should also care about maturity.
'src' has inertia carried over from Unix. Unix systems have kept the source is /usr/src since since at least the late 70s. That's in keeping with the general terseness of Unix. Similar to how only errors are reported; successful execution means nothing is printed by default but a new prompt. And it's why most of the original file system manipulation and text editing commands are 2 or 3 letters long. Tradition now, I guess.

Originally, way, way back in the day, there was good reason to be so terse. The first UNIX machines had literal teletypes for terminals; printers with moving parts. Every extra character meant wear and tear, paper, ink, and especially, time.
>ISPs are selling access to the Internet, streaming service are on the Internet, and so ISPs need provide it or stop advertising that they're providing Internet access.

How long until Comcast advertises its proprietary Comcast Network?
I don't think any bad outcomes beyond status quo will actually happen. This'll end up in court and the worst outcome is opportunity cost. Like usual.

Our culture and institutions are obsessed with appearance and signaling. Outcomes are irrelevant.

Disney needs to show allyship. Not actually prevent the law from being passed. Florida needs to rein Disney in, not actually protect children.
I don't think that's too unusual. Back when I sometimes commuted into an urban office by train, even with a tax benefit, the all you can eat pass didn't make any sense for taking the train maybe a couple days a week on average. And the 10-pack pass gave a pretty modest discount to what is (now) about $25/day plus the $4 parking at the commuter rail station.
9 months of pay to find a new job? That’s a little more than “decent chance” to me. That sounds more like 6 months PTO then 3 months of actual job searching.
yeah, it's less an attack and more like finding a copy of the key to the front door laying on the ground and walking out with everything you can carry, completely unopposed.

We're in the middle of leasing an office because the market for office space is flooded right now: way more supply than demand. We're getting a great price on a long-ish term lease.

We did some in-office tests in a coworking space and productivity went through the roof. We seem to be seeing that offices are a kind of thinking and focus tool.

Approx. half of our team is remote, so we're kitting out the office with TVs, cameras, and microphones to create a "hybrid space". We're probably going to add some practices like, "all meetings are video calls". Things like that.
fuuuuuuuuuuuuck autoplay.
I have to agree. If I remember a show, I can search by name but I can only browse through the stuff that their algorithm shows to me. And that's just a few dozen titles.
If you aren't adverse to manual instrumentation there's also Tracy[1].

I never stated I disliked Boomers, I stated that Boomers are CNN's target audience. Though given the tone of the rest of my comment I can see how some malice could be construed.
Can you point specifically to what you don't like about it?

Personally, my "least favorite feature" is that hovering (with mouse) over any video would auto-play. In other words, just by moving the mouse you would be under threat of accidentally distracting yourself. Maybe some people don't feel the same way, but for me, it was destabilizing to the point that I couldn't recall what it was I was searching for / interested in in the first place. I think they have "fixed" this in the past year, but there are still times when auto-play completely interrupts my thought/intentionality.
Is this an art piece?
> The article didn’t clarify if that was be weight, volume, count, etc.

Sure it did, and it did it in my quote. 30% of their calories.

That's extremely different than the watermelon and steak in your example. It's closer to about 7 kilograms of potatoes for every kilo of meat.
There are many fully remote companies. Just pick one. Don't work at a company that presses rto.
Imagine explaining that to a banker.... scratch that, I'm sure they've heard crazier reasons for taking out a line of credit on a house.
But if you just looked the Putin in the eye. You'd found him to be very straightforward and trustworthy. You would have had a very good dialogue. You'd be able to get a sense of his soul; a man deeply committed to his country and the best interests of his country.

Putin didn't sprung up from nothing. He was nurtured and cared for by all western leaders. He's that disease you did nothing for for so long. And now you're complaining? That is like a cop blaming the victim for what a criminal did to them.
Even if you're getting misdirected emails, it's probably a bad idea to toe the line into "defrauding a state government" by taking over someone's unemployment login.
Never had a lawsuit, but yeah, it's interesting to see who it trips up. I'm pretty sure I lost out on a job opportunity with a high profile company because the email I used was (company)@(my domain), and I got asked by an insurance agent to confirm I wasn't an employee of their company when I had (their company)@(my domain), which he indicated was because of the email address. Go figure.
Yep, this is definitely useful. I've done this kind of work. It's much faster to build an interactive world if you can tweak everything about it while it runs and see the results instantly.

The same goes for some simulations I've worked on (and am working on). It's much faster and easier to get good results if you can see the effects of your changes in real time, as the simulation runs.
Most of the posts here with “dies” in the title are about public figures who have died. If you are used to those and are scanning through the posts it is easy to read “dies” in that context first and then the rest of the sentence.
> Remote work in my opinion is a no-duh for everyone.

If this is your take either you haven’t thought about it enough or you’re so pro-remote work you don’t care to think about it enough.
You can’t have everything. You can pump oil and make plastic, but that’s got obvious problems. Cotton is extremely water intensive (and land). Grazing sheep are land intensive. Which one you think is best depends on what vector of ecological destruction you care most about. Maybe oil just let us get to more people than the Earth actually has carrying capacity for.
Oh I'd love to share it, I just can't. Well I made one that did make its way to Fortran by being independently developed, the Lisp version was in 2011 and the Fortran I think...2017. The brute forcer in AI-Feynman.

I don't! :)

Yesterday I was on a conf call during my son's soccer practice. I was walking around the woods with my daughter at the same time. I was doing none of the above well.

It occurred to me recently that most folks who have been promoted around me don't have children, or just started to have children. There is no upside at work, only in your life.

[edit more]
And this morning my daughter told me to get off my phone as I was checking emails (I'm oncall at the moment).

Kids absolutely know that you aren't paying attention to them.

I'd love to quit and just take some time off. I worry that this is the wrong example to set. I've been working regularly for 20 years, but my kids don't know that. But I dunno... thats just fear I suppose.
... and you are not forced to use those grotesquely and absurdely massive and complex google(blink/geeko) or apple(webkit) based browsers (and their SDKs), in other words, open source drm software which is "obfuscated" via complexity and size: you can use the media player you like, and in my case my shmol media player I wrote (using ffmpeg).
This issue is actually critical as it is not really piracy as it narrows down to the right to have interoperabitily with technically reasonable and sensible software.
Yes. I'm not sure if you understand how the volunteering works, but basically you show up at a particular location one day, another volunteer that's more tied to that location runs things, you sign-in and they set you up with about 10 minutes of training, and then you do your thing for an hour or two, and then you sign-out and leave. Most volunteers do maybe 1-2 hours of volunteering in a given campaign year, and may never volunteer again.

So, effectively I don't "know" anyone with any authority just because I volunteered to man the phones. I'm not on the candidate's guest list for their summer house parties.

As part of my local activism, I've volunteered several times for different forms of political action, and through that I have never once developed a personal relationship with anyone in leadership of these organizations.
I do not have dedicated TV. Just computers with big 4K monitors. I gave up on TV and replaced it with the computer some 17 years ago I think
> Avoiding death is impossible like you say. In many, many, many years the universe will be nothing but black holes without any way to harvest any energy. It will be impossible for a human to live then

That is just the conclusion reached by the best and brightest chimps among the 8 billions chimps that dominate all the other species on the planet.

Even Einstein and Hawking might be victims of the Dunning Kruger effect, only there is nobody smarter than them who are currently around to mock them or feel pity towards them.

All the physics and science that we do should come with a huge asterisk disclaiming that it's only the conclusion reached by the brightest and most specialized chimps.
Yeah i did email you, it was a long time ago (10 years?). I got a typical spam email to my "x-craphound" alias.
I guess you got hacked twice back then.
The value of coins might be quite difficult to understand for a non-numismatist. There are some Roman coins that are actually not that rare (more common than several types from the 19th or 20th centuries) that look just like others that are several orders of magnitude more expensive.

Right but the visual quality depends more on the actual bit rate than on the nominal resolution.
I actually had good success calling the office of the spammer in question and complaining to the person answering the phone. A young staffer with political ideals tends to pick up the phone and they empathize. They take my email address and seem to do something with it. I did this maybe 4 times over a span of a year and the chain reaction stopped.
Is remote work a ruse to allow companies to outsource all of their work to cheaper jurisdictions?
Maybe I’m an idealist, but I think that, if we are not equally vocal about all wars, we are not against all wars. There are no good and bad wars. We should be most vocal about wars we can actually stop and prevent. We don’t have moral right to ask Russians to risk their lives and protest against their government to stop the war in Ukraine, if we don’t do the same regarding wars our government leads, supports and sponsors.

We complaining about Russia and Russians and Iraqians complaining about USA will not stop any war. We need a strong international peace movement. It kinda worked in the case of Vietnam.
