That wouldn’t work for me at all. I’ve been rotating around all the services, one at a time, since sometime last year. I quit Netflix for the first time since ~2007, last September. Nothing watchable that I hadn’t seen. I resubscribed for the last season of Ozark. When that was over, I looked around for what good stuff they’d added in the last 7 months and found squat. Promptly canceled again.

I’m fast approaching the time when I won’t be subscribed to anything most of the time, and occasionally sign up for one to watch one show.
What nefarious needs other than probably playing shrek2 on the inflight entertainment systems?
How much will you pay for that fruit? Because that will limit how much the farmer can pay the fruit pickers.

Automation is the key to getting out of this trap: just build robots to pick the fruit and problem solved. I expect that is the only other way out of all our labor problems except for maybe the child care crisis (licensing boards are adamant about staffing requirements per kid even if that isn’t affordable).

Kind of a weird example when the adam sandler movie (uncut gems) was probably one of the few critical succeses of their recent original content.

That's how traditional SSR applications work.

The new way is html over the wire e.g. Hotwire, Liveview, htmx. So instead of the page being reloaded, the section of the UI that needs to updated is rendered on the server and sent over via websocket.
I recently threw together a simple website for this purpose – love those YouTube playlists, but having YT open during my work sessions was hurting my overall productivity.

Not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for, but the closest modern equivalent might be the various VR games / apps that are centred around socializing with other random people (like VR Chat).
It's interesting that Netflix's hits seemed to come towards the start of their career producing content. If the issue is "hits are hard" then I would've expected them to struggle first.

My intuition is that it's more like statistics led Netflix to produce low quality content that performed on their target metrics. This strategy led Netflix to a local optimum that is far from a global optimum. Plus, given market conditions, that local optimum is starting to be, objectively, pretty bad.

Didnt Google+ had something similar called circles, you could share different things with different people based on which circle they were in.
The breadth of topics of WW2 field manuals and technical manuals is staggering. One of the manuals is essentially a list of other manuals, and there are a lot of them.

At least one manual has a reading level similar to "See Jane run", because of course they'd have had some soldiers being drafted who read at that level.
Those people were around in 2020 (outside Home Depot here in Seattle) but are all gone now. I guess they are all just really busy rather than being deported or something.

I wouldn’t assume all or even most labor on constructions sites are illegal immigrants just because they speak Spanish, if only because the USA has a lot of legal first-gen Hispanic immigrants.
Thanks for sharing. I can’t listen to songs with lyrics when I work - but the structure of the music seems to have the frisson, although I’m usually so far in a work groove that it doesn’t necessarily make my hairs stand up, but instead subconsciously motivates me more to get into a flow. Usually it’s mostly electronic (ie https://m.soundcloud.com/kobeyo) or classical. When watching classical live I get the frisson. When I’m at an electronic event they really play with the buildups and the frisson seems like the goal (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=quoAVYJfDuU)

My dad constantly listens to the same era of music, the 60s and early 70s…like every night. I think this brings back memories of when he was growing up and of the times (lots of political / social changes) because he just starts ranting about high school and super detailed small things that happened to him like almost 50 years ago. I speak three languages and can’t remember anything from my past almost. The music really puts him on a time machine, it’s pretty interesting to observe…it’s like this frisson thing is going non stop.
Never forget, its always "different this time", even though as you've said its reached the place its in over thousands of years. The mistakes made and mania's are in all the text books and histories so really people should know better, but its seems that nothing is more influential on a person than greed.
Totally agree with the stance, but it's pie in the sky stuff when it comes to real world, often imperfect, codebases.

Take for instance a piece of code I was reviewing earlier today. A class in one package referenced a function in a database manager class, which itself referenced a function in a DAO, which in turn contained some SQL. Just to figure out what was going on I had to read, parse and follow through on each. And this is the recommended design pattern too!
Customers can create firewall rules to challenge requests using any type of request metadata. User agent is one of the filters, that can be used in manual Firewall fields.
The incentives here are so twisted. This is purely based on an output metric so they can say "We increased our hiring of diverse candidates by X%". Meanwhile, minorities suffer a lot of issues that aren't taken seriously (racism, sexism, homophobia, etc) and they end up quitting - and often signing an NDA with a settlement to keep them from speaking out...rinse and repeat, now we get more new hires that we can brag about.

As the other comments state this is unsurprising as people are really suffering a lack of identity under peak capitalism and neoliberalism is fueling this with this crappy virtue signalling stuff while continuing to make things objectively worse for minorities.

> > the only future for nuclear is going to be small, cheaper reactors that are quick to construct

> But even those will be nonstarters unless the regulatory environment is fixed. Nuclear has always been held to much, much stricter standards than any other energy source, for no good reason.

The stricter standards are addressable. What's missing from the above is the word "standardized". As it is, practically every large reactor built is a custom implementation. Smaller, cheaper, standardized reactors that are built in a dedicated facility (I'm not sure "factory" is quite right) and then shipped to the installation site should fix that problem.
yes, but ripgrep (which is great by the way) isn’t called “rustgrep”. it just looks suspicious.
Is $7B a lot?

Isn't Tether's cap alone around 10 times that?

Is this an observable trend or just a small spike of an otherwise generally volatile phenomenon?
I disagree - their issue was scaling it.

When they started out creating original content, they were hitting it out of the park. Orange is the new black, daredevil, house of cards were all big hits.

They scaled, quality was sacraficed for quantity, and their brand became very dilluted.

As far as I understand the regulation that exists was added to prevent disasters of the kind that occurred previously. You seem to be arguing some of the added regulations were unnecessary for safety? Which ones are they, and how much money can be saved by getting rid of them?
That’s exactly right. There’s no market-clearing price because of regulatory distortion. You’re free to like or dislike that as a policy, but it is clear that it removes the information value of the price signal.
It's very telling that they say they learned of the depeg event on the 10th of May

It actually started on the 9th of May. So not only did they negligently invest 100% of funds in a single highly risky project while they marketed that they diversified risk, but they were also asleep at the wheel and missed the opportunity to salvage some of the terra before the depeg had gone too far
“WhatsApp messages are limited to 1600 characters”
If that is UTF32 we have 51200 bytes or 50kB per message.

“the basic free accounts I was using rate-limit to ~1QPS”
That is 400kbit/s.

40 accounts would give us a theoretical maximum speed of 16Mbit/. Would probably closer to 10Mbit/s in real life, enough to watch movies.

Apple TV+ is $5/month. People used to pay $100+/month for cable and satellite TV. If people do not want to pay, then it must not be about the money. They even have the choice of easily just paying for one streaming service per month, and not spending more than $15 per month.
First no internet, as in I could still see the shop’s wifi router on my local networks. But after about 10 minutes the router stopped showing up, so no wifi.
I can trigger this at will.
It is potentially the slow start of a run as interest rates rise and lower risk assets offer improved yields versus crypto offerings. Besides Luna, Tether recently required recapitalization, so there is evidence of stress.

No one knows (or would admit publicly if they did, lots of money to be made if you do) what’ll be the linchpin causing a full blown run and a rapid decapitalization of remaining stablecoins. If and when it occurs, it will happen slowly, and then all of a sudden as counterparties race to the exits. Last folks out hold the bags.

It's teaching us how to work for free in pleasing their profit.

Most sites now have been totally gamified to the point where they initially give you great exposure and community and then slowly dial it down once an addiction has formed. It's utterly destructive to the self esteem of man, including children.

There are always ways of manipulating the algorithms, most of the methods involve bots and dark content, and many black markets thrive on these platforms mysteriously, only seeing intervention when a news report exposes the incidents.

There are many sites that completely lift content off of original creators without any compensation or credit as well, as these companies make massive profit, they pay most of the original creators of the content they display little to nothing, and often nothing.

There would be a huge backlash against these platforms if everyone wasn't so caught up and invested in the rigged carnival booths, but the idea of Internet viral stardom has a death grip on so many now that they are even committing self harm, disinformation, and even racial hate for likes, and actually getting promoted for it all by shadowed sponsors.

I generally log in to find funny things occasionally and to promote my business, otherwise a walk in the park is far more enjoyable and less stressful.
What TYPE of Phone to get nowadays?
Hi all,
Allthough reading much of it, this is my first post on this platform.
Anyway, on to the question. I am currently using a Redmi Note 8 Pro, which I bought brand new when it came out. I am not a phone "power user". I do not use it for fotography. Just for messaging and listening to music and I am very happy with the phone running a custom rom, obviously. When I bought this one I was so convinced that cheaper midrange phones (~200€/$) were the best option for me, however, my view shifted a little in the past years. I was wondering if it was better to buy an older, maybe used or refurbished, high end phone or a new midrange one. I absolutely do not consider spending 1000 €/$ whatever on a phone. I would rather spend that kind of money on my PC. In my opinion, new phones are all the same and it is boring. Since Sony kind of "breaks the rule" of new phones with their no notch (i hate the notch) 21:9 xperia 1/5/10 etc phones I might consider getting a xperia 1 iii when it gets cheaper used. What are your opinions on the topic?
Germany can't wave a magic wand and switch off Russian imports overnight. But they did just commit a few hundred billion to accelerate their plans to get rid of coal and gas based generation. That's a direct consequence of the Ukrainian situation. Like the US, Germany was overly depending on cheap gas until recently. Now that it has to import the gas in liquid form from the US (and a few other places), it's going to be a lot more expensive. Hence hundreds of billions to cut their dependence on the stuff entirely.

Regarding nuclear in Germany, I think you are a bit short on the facts. Nuclear in Germany was always pretty minor. What little they had is now nearly gone. During the same time, they cut coal generation from 47% to about 25%. Gas grew a bit during that time but is still smaller than their remaining coal generation and even the amount of coal capacity they got rid off. Coal is going to be gone by 2030 according to the latest plans. Indeed cheap Russian gas was part of this plan until recently. But those plans are shifting rapidly now for obvious reasons.

>inexplicably blame the democrats?

For several periods during Obama's first term, his party totally controlled the legislative process. The Senate Democrat caucus had a filibuster-proof majority. They could have passed Medicare for All, Single Payer, immigration "reform" -- all of it. Ask yourselves why they did what they did instead.
In the same way pork ribs aren’t barbecue.

I use my Samsung S10 for exactly this as it has multiple radios that allows connecting to wifi and hotspotting to share that connection with other devices. Great for Chromecasting.
It seems we have a serious problem with the first generation of cryptocurrencies being mainly a vehicle for scams and otherwise extracting value from gullible people.

From what I've seen so far in most cases "stable-" isn't really stable and currency definitely doesn't work like one.

Or am I just biased by sourcing my information from HN and only seeing the cases where crypto crashes and burns instead of all the successful ones no one here is talking about. Are there any?

Tether's cap is not the same as Tether's available liquidity to redeem the token. We don't know what's the limit of withdrawals they can handle in reality.
Agree with you, I always felt frustrated by signing on pads and not only on Hospitals but Banks as well. I tried to fix this by building a platform for using iPad where one can see the whole document, something like docusign but focused on tablet-based signing. We’ll see how it goes
OK, so this seemed like something plausible to do, thought I'd take a look.

- Looked at "popular" bookmarks, e.g. https://pinboard.in/popular/
- At the far right end of each page title, there's a little number. For example, beside "Lotus 1-2-3 For Linux", there's currently the number 21, which links to https://pinboard.in/url:61d59935774d1affe22713a7423c78bd17ef....
- Following that link, you see who bookmarked that link, with name, tags, and some related other links. Of course, clicking on a user name will show you other things they've linked, at least using the default public setting.
Fun thought experiment, if I had to absolutely make money in 168hrs:

- Buy drugs from darknet rush shipping and go to sktechy area, sell for 50% markup while trying not to get robbed. Look for local customers on reddit, nightclubs, parties, college campuses, etc.

- Sex-work, apparently even men can make decent money camming for other dudes

- Pan-handling

- Get a job at local chipotle/mcdonalds/etc, would be interesting to see how fast you could get a paycheck

- Try to get some contract work for software on fiverr

It ain't much, but it's honest work
I don't get all the bandwagon hate of crypto on this site.. Sure 99% of crypto schemes are b.s and ponzi. But I like to think in terms of use cases. Currently there is no way to send "money" to someone in another country on the other side of the world, in a decentralized way, and without transaction fees.

Can this problem be solved without crypto? Probably, but currently crypto is looking like the best way to be able to do this.
> > they had billions of dollars to create original content

>

> they had the wrong idea that original content is their strong point. It's not. It's disney's strong point.

I guess there are different people watching content. Note that I mainly talk about TV shows, as I’m not a big movie fan.

Because I hate pretty much everything Disney. MCU is low-brow humor with plot-hole riddled writing and weak characters mainly fueled by action scenes and star power. I don’t know what Star Wars is, but nothing that interests me, I don’t think I’d even have liked the original trilogy if I had been older when it came out.

Netflix, both their English original content and many foreign shows (assuming good dubbing, which usually means the actors dubbed themselves) has far better content.

Dfunny how the article directly mentions that because the economics don't work out, nuclear proponents try to shift the discussion to misleading metric such as space occupied. At least consider the size of the nofly zone and the safety zone around your nuclear power plant.
I like that you mention patience. Carpentry takes patience, you need to pace yourself, and you need to adopt safety behaviors, that will get you through the day. If I watch my family work, they all do things slowly and paced. “Measure twice, cut once.”

> Nonsense. Why would wind power plants require any lithium?

I think the idea is to ameliorate the unpredictability of wind capacity by storing excess off-peak power for low-generation periods.

There are better solutions, but they are mostly less generic and often better implemented close to the point of use.
'The position you find yourself in today is the accumulation of the small choices that you’ve been making for years.' False if one is born poor and all choices are crappy and the few ways out mostly rely on luck.

After reading this, I’m reminded of the Sanskrit concept of adbhuta. It can be roughly translated to wonder, but in the sense of witnessing something otherworldly or supernatural.

The Nāṭya Śāstra elaborates and articulates on 8 rasas in the performing arts, including adbhuta. Truly an interesting work.
I used an iPhone 3GS and then an iPhone 4. Since then I have been using Android phones, Motorola, HTC & Oppo. I don't feel any reason to spend lots more for the latest iPhones.

Of course, if most people you communicate with use iPhones, then there are some compatability benefits. You can connect to FaceTime calls from Android. I've never used iMessage, so I don't know how it is "better" than SMS + eMail, etc.

My major reason for sticking with Android is that the phones don't get obsoleted as fast as iPhones. I can still install the latest version of Chrome on a Moto Razr/V.

Yes that's a fair point (and it's likely some of the other stablecoins share that problem), but still, isn't $7B a rather tiny portion of the overall stablecoin market cap?
I don't find the jQuery API to be particularly friendly. It tries to be cute and ends up being annoying. Its implementing code is also an abomination, so not particularly helpful. I'd rather read through Gecko internals than try to figure out what the hell a jQuery helper actually returns.

The DOM is at least very, very well documented. jQuery has documentation, but it's not even close. It gives away what jQuery always has been, which is a library that is aimed mainly at assisting bag-of-tricks StackOverflow programmers than people who actually want to understand their programs and the object graph they work on.
The author is very clear about what's important:

> A central principal of C-Kermit development is to keep all new releases backwards compatible, not only in its command repertoire but also in its compilability on every platform where it could be compiled before no matter how dated its C compiler might be.

This includes #if/#endif used to maintain support for K&R C, most recently updated last December to support the default compiler mode on HP/UX.

Do you hold yourself to this high standard? I certainly see it as admirable but Quixotic. (Last year I dropped Python 2 support in my package, which had been 2/3 compatible.)

As to "stricter defaults", the author clearly disagrees with clang authors that dangling-else warnings should be part of the "stricter defaults" at all.

That doesn't mean the author doesn't care about code quality.

Kermit has worked for 40 years on 'nine different operating system families and at least 190 different Unix varieties'. That's its own indication of quality.

As I read it, the author is actively working to prevent/reduce compiler warnings. But as the compilers become more finicky he's having to "fix" code that's following the C specification and has been working for (say) 30+ years.

Is appeasing the compiler really improving code quality? Bear in mind too that every change to the code might introduce something which causes the code to not compile on an old system.
