Didn't the LHC confirm the existence of the Higgs boson? That sounds pretty valuable to me. What lies are you talking about?

Coca-Cola makes US$37 billion a year (almost five LHCs, thus 50 times the average annual budget during the LHC's construction) by making people obese with flavored sugar water. Some of this involves lying, but much of it is just emotional manipulation; vanishingly few of its customers receive anything of value. So far none of its executives have been imprisoned as a result.

(Petronas Towers wasn't funded by voluntary contributions, either. Petronas has a state monopoly on oil and gas extraction.)

I agree that it would be better to fund basic research like the LHC from voluntary contributions. (I think dominant assurance contracts are a promising attack on that problem, but I don't know if they will succeed.) But if you take traditional academia and taxation as a package deal, I think most people would prefer to live in a world with the 15 recent enormous contributions to society by traditional academia I listed in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31275875, including modern agriculture, solar energy, and Linux, than in a society without them and without taxation.

These are public goods, and it's a well-known result in economics that markets underprovide public goods; the equilibrium result is that they almost don't provide them at all.

Even within the realm of taxation, academic research is hardly the hot spot. Most countries spend almost no tax money on academia. Even in the US, whose federal budget is US$6600B, NIH gets US$42B (0.7%), Pell grants get US$35B (0.5%), NASA gets US$23B (0.5%), NSF gets US$8.3 billion (0.1%, which includes basically the entire particle physics budget), and DARPA gets US$3.4B (0.05%). If you wanted to reduce the US tax burden, most taxpayers wouldn't even notice if you reduced the federal budget by this 1.9%. The rest of the federal budget is literally fifty times as big.

My wife is a professor. I can assure you that her pension options were not good.
Yea, I wasn't sure if this was water or oil with resistant high temperature vipers. Or someone smashed up vipers and boiled it, to be painful and extra gross?

Or both, where vipers were boiled, and new vipers were constantly being added to bite, then turn into boiling viper soup themselves.

IDK about plot hole, I assume the both method will get the job done. But, I do question the efficiency and practicality.

Nitpicking, but it absolutely is 2FA. Two factors for authentication. Password (something you know) and phone (something you have).

It's not good 2fa, but it is 2fa.
In certain ways yes, in certain ways no. The monopoly provided by copyright does really hinder effective competition. Requiring non-discriminatory licensing would radically change the competitive landscape in this space.

SD cards are horrendous for long term storage. Probably the worst medium for such a task.
WebAuthn supports sending an attestation certificate during the initial registration. But with an implementation according to the spec this certificate only identifies the model of the security key used and thus is shared across a 5 to 6 digit number of physical keys.

This attestation is meant to allow the service to verify that you use a "blessed" security key with certain security properties (e.g. only a YubiKey 5 they verified to be secure and not some random $5 key with broken RNG off Amazon).
The article specifically discusses auth via app, but if it's involving the FIDO alliance, it'd be weird to exclude hardware keys, I guess. I still don't like the idea of going single factor, but if it's with a hardware key, I can see it being better than with an app since it has to directly interact with the process itself.

But, of course, if this is optional, I still have to reference the end users. I'm willing to pay for an authentic FIDO key, which can be a tad costly. Your typical user might be more inclined to go for a cheap one that does enough to get into the account, and may not be trustworthy, or would prefer not to do it at all.
" Amazon scans each individual Transparency-enabled code to ensure that only authentic products are shipped."
what does that mean ahaha
It's more like a triopoly, isn't it? Linux is a reasonable choice for a consumer OS on laptops/desktops, at least for techies. Much more so than non-Android/iOS options on mobile.

Especially with the work Valve has done to make Linux gaming more easily accessible, even releasing a Linux-based handheld console.
Do you have experience with animation programs? Have you talked much to animators about their frustrations in their current work flows?

> Novelty can even be trained for and we have created agents that seek novelty

I was thinking that too. Instead of merely copying writing styles by authors, it would be possible for a program to dream up new writing styles, and generate idiosyncrasies algortihmically. We can reverse engineer novels and find out their structure and idiosyncrasies, but having the ability to create new idiosyncrasies would be the magic sauce needed to generate novels on demand.
The subauth socket. I generally suggest people run all their services on Unix sockets as much as possible to prevent accidentally exposing things to the internet unintentionally, however it's not the best idea to run your reverse proxy on a Unix socket unless you have even more cursed things going on :)
I mean, for one, it's absolutely massive. Not great when the associated CDN with delivering it is excruciatingly slow too... I don't really use it though, I do sysops stuff and have no use for it. I guess that's another mark against it though; as an IDE it's fairly useless for anything you don't intend to exclusively deploy to Apple platforms.
> The vast majority of users would prefer not to have to write an entire layout and stylesheet for each site they visit

I don’t think this would be a reasonable way to put user preferences ahead of website owners/designers, this seems more like replacing the web with something else entirely.

What I am taking about is not requiring users to be more technical or do more work, precisely the opposite. Make their lives as easy as possible, and design the browser from the perspective that the user is king/queen, and you literally don’t give a shit about the web designer or their business model. If what they want the site to do is incompatible with maximising user happiness, tough luck, the browser should ignore their code or markup.

Good examples of features (some) browsers incorporate which do some of the job without requiring technical knowledge, most of which should IMO be on by default:

- preventing autoplay of videos and audio

- the flag to force enable Zoom

- reader mode

- blocking ads and or trackers

- etc.

I’d love to see much more of it, and enabled by default.
when doing migrations/conversions I always write a script in dry-run mode first. I exhaustively check the results to make sure they are expected. Then try to do a real conversion/transfer of only the 1st file and make sure that worked. Then do a couple more. Etc. Only then do I feel confident to do the whole thing.
interesting, the face-to-face sounds great, only problem is scalability
[edit: yeah, my argument went on a tangent and didn't return back to point. Removed to not distract from the discussion.]
upgraded a large badly written php 5.6 codebase to 7.1 then 7.4 and then 8.0. first jump took about 3 days of work to iron out issues then going to 7.4 and 8.0 was even quicker. using the php compatibility checker helped a lot.
It matters if they're not spending less for each show, on average, than other services. If you're dropping $20m a season, on average, and so are your competitors, but more of yours are duds, that's bad. If you're dropping $5m to your competitors' $20m, maybe it's not a problem if, say, twice as many of your seasons are bad.

But, part of the trouble with this analysis, as far as sussing out the above issue, is season-count. How many Netflix originals are as long as, say, The Sopranos? Or The Wire? How many are only one season, or maybe two? It's possible (possible! I do not know) the hours-of-original-content difference between Netflix and the other services isn't as large as this suggests. Or that it's even larger. Hard to tell.

I'd say that this chart points toward bad things for Netflix, but without some other pieces of data it's hard to tell what it's actually saying.
Self-hosted aficionados are our preppers.
There's plenty of foreign phone manufacturers that sell in America. The idea that the US would ban them solely for being foreign is absurd.
> As a buyer, I'd love to spend more with not-Amazon and get comparable service.

Comparable service? My experience buying from Amazon is a nearly 100% rate of telling me my item will be delivered on a certain date, and then, the day after, saying "We're so sorry that unforeseeable circumstances (really?) have resulted in the late delivery of your item. We hope the date wasn't important! No, we do not offer any compensation for late deliveries. Please suck it."
I don't know about other people, but finding something to watch on Netflix is frustrating, there's so much poor quality shows. The recommendations are not good (tbf that's most streaming services) and there's no option for granular filtering. For example, I hate dubs, I would like to pick shows where the original audio is some particular language, I don't get why that isn't there?

In contrast, on HBO Max / Disney+, usually there's far less content but since the quality is better you can easily pick something to watch.

Different strokes I guess; I thought Severance was great. I didn't even notice the sequences you're describing, but I guess in hindsight they added flavor/gave me a mental break to process recent plot developments
> Vimeo doesn't provide an easy way of doing it. I wrote to the support team around October asking them if it was possible to do a migration, and they told us that they "will look into it" without letting us know anything ever since. [...] At one point, without letting us know anything, Vimeo decided it was a great idea to comply with our request and dumped all the videos present on OTT onto the new platform. No questions were asked [...] they were duplicating videos that were already uploaded.

Oh yes Vimeo, the crappy company that won't let you play videos unless you enable autoplay in your browser[1].

Selecting them as a provider was the actual mistake.

How is that seed any different from a password then?
Excellent, thanks — that's very helpful! It's not quite perfect — it does the old 'make it big, but not as big as possible' behaviour that macOS used to do, but that seems to be app-specific, so it actually does what I want for some things.
> non-career politicians that care about the average American instead of growing America's influence worldwide.

Wasn't W. a carrer politician? The prototypical one considering his dad was President?

Also with whom do you think a guy who has everything to lose such as a billionaire would side with? A career politician such as HRC/Biden or the dude saying that all Mexicans are rapists and he'd be able to shoot a man on 5th Avenue, doesn't rule out nuking North Korea, says that unlike Nixon he won't leave etc....?

Put Mitt Romney up against HRC/Biden and see the wind change. Billionaires despise instability and the kind of bragadoccio impulsive egomaniacs such as W. ,Trump (and Musk for that matter).

The US right is the only right-wing movement in the world which seemed immune from producing such profile of leaders. The weight of the legacy of being the party of Lincoln maybe the reason, but it seems it subdued.

> Elon seems to be one of the few, if not the only one going against the grain in this regard.

Musk companies took in approximately 25B in green subsidies payed for by flyover America, and all he managed to produce are gokarts for rich people which are still less frequently seen on American roads than real luxury brands such as Ferraris , Porsches and Lamborghinis.
Note, this (wrongly) uses Control Picture characters rather than the control characters themselves. There can be perfectly valid reasons to want to include the Control Picture characters in the data, and the inability to makes this unacceptable IMO.

I think you brought up something very important: explainability.

Nobody said you can implement a full Scheme implementation in 48 hours or two weeks. That's very much besides the point about how poor CPython performance is.
There is information about this in the FBI Al-Awlaki case file. Basically this Saudi guy that worked for Saudi intelligence paid for the housing of two of the hijackers and lived across the street. There was also some inquiry because, IIRC, he gave them a computer that had a flight simulator installed.

This entire time the US Government knew it and covered it up and instead blamed Iran, Iraq, et cetera

Have you tried making a fake Facebook account recently? Not happening.
But is that a problem though? I generated my own HSM/U2F keys throwing dice and the seed is basically just one 256 bit numbers. I did have, indeed, to compute a matching checksum (for the scheme I used represented the 256 bit numbers as a list of 24 words, out of a dictionary of 2048 words, where some bits of the last number acts as a checksum).

This only needs to be done once. For example by booting an old computer with no wifi capabilities and no hard disk from a Linux Live CD.

> You'll need to generate the key on a less secure host to do that, though, which partially defeats the purpose of a hardware key in the first place.

I kinda disagree with that. I generated my key by throwing physical dice. No random number generator to trust here. I only needed an offline/airgapped computer to compute the checksum and that program cannot lie: I know the first 256 bits out of the 264 bits so the program computing the checksum cannot lie to me, it's only giving me 8 bits of checksum.

Then I only need to trust the specs, not the HSM vendor.

Now, sure, my old Pentium III without any hard disk and without any WiFi, without any physical ethernet port, may be somehow compromised and exfiltrate data through its fans or PSU or something but what are the odds here? Especially: what are the odds compared to the odds of having a rogue HSM vendor selling you U2F keys for which it fully knows the secret?

I'd argue this requires less trust than the trust required in buying a pre-initialized HSM device.
No, because that's an (obviously) very muddled and slippery line of reasoning you're trying to get me to agree to there.
It says they verify the codes when it enter and leaves their fulfillment centers as well, but if the seller was shipping direct to you, not using Amazon fulfillment, there's not much Amazon can do, so they let you check it yourself.

There was a while where they were talking about providers making a lot of Niche Content. I wonder if they need to do a better job of adapting to personas. I love the Victorian/Edwardian Farm series that are on Prime, and I think of shows in a niche as sort of "beyond rating". i.e. They are never going to get the money to be considered "exceptional", but will be draw just as strongly for people who appreciate that niche. (Deep not broad). So can Netflix create a curated and simpler interface that optimizes for Outstanding/Exceptional or period pieces or whatever instead of just a long list that's hard to grok.
When I peruse bash-5.1/CHANGES it makes me uncomfortable. It is far too long, for one.
Real privilidge is measurable - Men used to make more money for the same job, black people were less likely to get the job, they had worse health outcomes, worse mental health, etc.

What is a topological chart?
All these streaming companies battle for long term user acquisition, thus perpetual $10/month subscription per service for X providers is definitely a no-go long term.

I think a middle ground would be shareware-like pay-per-view type model. Are you creating a new series? Make the first episode freely watchable, and then don't price excessively the entire season.

As a consumer would make sense for me to pay 5$ for a season of show X on Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max/etc. But allow me to watch the thing I payed for perpetually in the future, as long as the show is still on the platform. And when I'm looking for something new to pay for, allow me to see the first episode of existing shows for free.

Would that work for all consumers? I don't know, most people I know with streaming subscriptions, barely actively watch shows and very often those are standins for background noise.
1. Neither I nor anyone else in this thread has accused you of being an asshole.

2. Have you interacted with many human beings?

We'd all love it if being treated as a human being were the bare minimum, but quite a few people didn't get the memo and fall quite a bit below it. You really do want to filter out those folks in your hiring process. Unfortunately, here on HN, some commenters view any sort of hiring filter, much less one like "don't be an asshole", as a personal attack.

A long time ago I read a book In Search of LL Bean that talked about the old A&F. Apparently their Manhattan (I think) store had a gunsmith on premises and carried fly fishing lures that were apparently as specific as this type of fish, in this river, during this month.

> competition is worse for consumers in some respects here

The implicit assumption here is that without competition, we'd have all (or most) of the same shows, just on a single service.

I don't think that's true. I think competition between streaming services largely on the basis of original content has produced a lot of good shows that we wouldn't have seen otherwise. It seems to me like there's a lot more variety in things to watch these days, and it's not like I have to pay for every streaming service every month...

Would all of the Star Wars content on Disney+ even have been made if Disney couldn't put it on Disney+, for example? Netflix has started and cancelled a ton of original series, but would they have even been tried at all back when cable TV was king? I don't know, maybe there are some statistics on the variety of TV shows being watched and I'm wrong, but I can't find them.
The stock moved horizontally during that time.

I can't answer this specifically, but the consensus in the community is, that if your server can handle the database and requests, then Craft won't have a problem handling it.

> There are Craft CMS and Craft Commerce sites in the wild running smoothly with tens of millions of elements, and we’ve seen smaller sites struggle to keep up with modest amounts of traffic. The answer is usually “yes, Craft can handle that,” but you should take care with a few things that maximize your site’s ability to handle a growing body of content [1]

I work for a German company from an Anglo country that pays software engineers well, so they have to pay market rates here.

I was embarrassed to find out I was being paid more than my more senior colleague from Germany, not even taking tax into account yet.

He could double his net total comp simply by moving here and doing the same role as he does now.
Severance does not have the drunk/high sequences, but it was just crazy slow for me. I might also just be an atypical watcher, but it still feels like a lot of shows/movies are a lot longer than they used to be when I was a kid, and yet the extra minutes do not give me any extra enjoyment. Or maybe I am just getting old and turning into my dad.
That's slightly different in that most programmers won't read 1/3 as "one third" but instead "one divided by three", and interpret that as three divisions added together, and the expectations are different. Seeing a constant written as a decimal invites people to think of them as decimals, rather than the actual internal representation, which is often "the float that most closely represents or approximates that decimal".
If anyone from netflix is reading, the reason I don't watch as much as I used to is because of the automatic previews. I used to just leave netflix open all day and randomly pick things when I felt like watching. I can't do that anymore. Though I do really appreciate how easy it is to suspend/cancel. I'll be back for stranger things, but who knows how long I'll stay.
