It's more than one-stop-shop services (see the GP), and it is more efficient in one way: One stop shop, specialized legal skills, etc. are more efficient for certain tasks than the services small firms provide. Also, it can be more efficient in another way: If I said low-wage software developers were more cost-efficient, what would you say? The same goes for attorneys.

I find myself on the side of big firms here, but small ones also are more efficient in some ways. My only point is that, for some services, there is an economy of scale.
it is less that i am against my own autonomy and more that i value my time aggressively and don't want to spend it repairing shit i don't want to repair

i know i _can_ repair my own stuff. i've worked soldering irons and have a heat gun and could go into it again if i need to. i just don't want to make the time.

i don't want to spend hours repairing my iDevices. been there, done that. i'm not fucking with impenetrable adhesives and cracking screens and ultra thin wires, especially when i'm doing so at the cost of losing waterproofing, faceID, and warranty (extremely important to me).

(i completely get why apple disables faceID for screen replacements; gotta protect the software supply chain)

i'd much rather drive to my apple store 15 mins away, go to the genius bar and say "iphone broke" and get a new one right there or have it repaired in a few hours.
> the assumption is that regular markets work the same way and we just don't talk about it

I'm not sure who holds that assumption. The clear, explicit assumption is that regular market does not have insider trading, and the SEC is watching like a hawk to make sure this stays that way.

You can always believe in some alternate conspiracy theory that the markets are rigged, but I assure you, you are in a minority. The vast majority of the people (including yours truly) assume that the SEC is doing a fairly good job. Could there be exceptions? Of course. Is insider trading the rule? Absolutely not.
Apple used to have removable batteries. Even when Steve Jobs came back to Apple, batteries were removable. Once Lithium-Ion batteries that can hold 70% of a charge after 1000 cycles appeared, Apple got rid of the user-swappable batteries. It’s not malicious, it’s a disagreement on what is acceptable.
Almost all the shows i watch over and over and again are ones with 7+ seasons,

90's star trek (tng ds9 voy) all 7 seasons, MAS*H 12 seasons, Frasier 11 season, Scrubs 8 season (I skip season 9 and refuse to acknowledge its existance), Red Dwarf 8 season (+ more after the revival decades later), X-Files 11 seasons, How I Met Your Mother 9 seasons, Freinds 10 seasons, Stargate SG1 10 seasons, three seasons is to little to grow a fallowing and not enough for you to rewatch

At what age did you learn to gamble?

Gambling is highly emotional and triggering. How were the inevitable outbursts handled?
Ah, ok, so this is more like a thing where you drive around looking for loose change on the ground, and you find enough to exceed your fuel and maintenance expenses. But you can't scale it up by hiring more drivers, because there is only so much loose change to be found.

Surely you see how even a 10% safe return on investment like these DeFi schemes offer is a whole different thing, when it's a compounding return. There's no way to sustain it. All the arbitrage opportunities in the world can't deliver the funds required to make investors' money grow exponentially.
Sadly I think both are in their decline(and have been past few seasons) Both were the worst seasons of the series… South Park lost its edge where they poke fun at anything and everything without fear of backlash. The “tolkien” episode smelled of wokeness. The tegridy episodes are getting old, you can tell the two creators just don’t care as much about the show anymore as the IRL tegridy.
Generally Netflix makes shows in the same country in which it operates. This has a positive interaction between the country and the company, since the shows are more identifiable to the people who would watch them in that country. While the production in Russia probably would have to stop, there was no reason to turn off access to the existing and new customers. It had no measurable effect on Russia's actions or the outcome of the war. It was merely an attempt for Netflix to "be on the right side of history". Instead, it's shaping up to be Netflix "not being part of the future".

We had a big Ponzi that exploded last month in Argentina (and extended to a few nearby countries).

I am pretty sure very few people driving cars understand how a Ford T works. Can they explain how a combustion engine works? Can they even explain the run cycle of a single cylinder? I doubt it. The mental model people use for driving cars is extremely simple compared with how a Ford T model actually works.

After I read about this Terra ecosystem, it looks very suspicious: first, you buy UST tokens, investing real money. You are promised a yield up to 20% (suspicious point 1). Then, you deposit your UST so that other people can lend it. But the terms look weird to me (suspicious point 2): first, the loans are "overcollateralized", so, for example, you need to put down equivalent of $100 to get a loan of $70. Second, the interest rate on the loan is ridiculously high - in the range of 30%. Who would take such a loan?

They seemed to have a third kind of token, that you could get as a reward for taking a loan (or depositing UST). But I don't think that by juggling three related tokens around one can generate any value. The only source of money was from people buying any of these tokens.

The support page at Stablegains site says [1]:

> They [Digital finance protocols] are more efficient than traditional finance

I can't see how 30% interest rate overcollateralized loans are "more efficient" than traditional bank loans with rates below 10% per year.

One of the things I disliked the most about software development was when somebody wrote an article like this, and then somebody on my team would be like "see? you can't use flags, it's a code smell. There's an article about it, and it got on Hackernews and everything. We don't want our code to smell. Flags considered harmful. Will not approve any PRs with flags!"

Considering that this was made more than a decade after Microsoft stopped selling Windows XP, I fail to see how playing around with such abandonware would destroy software companies. What a ridiculous hyperbole.

If anything, it's a good example of IP laws being disproportionally in favor of IP holders. Microsoft is already one of the richest companies on the planet, how much more penny pinching must we bear?
Civil law is being increasingly used to avoid rights. Right to a lawyer, right to proof beyond a reasonable doubt, right to be present at your hearing, etc. We see it with this, we see it with red flag laws, we see it with the abused of restraining orders in divorces.

If they can't get it done in criminal court because rights get in the way, then they just create a civil path for it.
Have you given it a try? I used to think that and avoided off-center keyboards, but I ended up with one and it wasn't a problem. YMMV.

Do you know why the constitution counted slaves as 3/5 of a person? Because if they had counted them as whole persons, then the slave population would have enabled the South to dominate the House (and thereby protect slavery even more).

The Civil War was fought to preserve chattel slavery? By half the country, yes. Fought to end it by the other half. (Yes, I know, Lincoln's goal was to preserve the union. But go look at how many Union soldiers' graves say "He died that all might be free".)

On to the problem with your first post. Even if we agree with everything you said in your second post, that doesn't begin to draw a line from slavery to civil forfeiture. (I mean, if civil forfeiture was primarily applied to blacks, you might have a case. But you didn't even try to make that case, or any other.)

Anything where I can be a beginner again and experience the thrill of discovery. Doing something for the first time and together with someone that’s good at it and is happy to share their knowledge is so awesome.

As I get older I realize I have to keep switching it up. So one year it’s suddenly road cycling and I did 1000 miles in a year after doing probably 10 miles combined during the 10 years before. Also learned about bike maintenance as a part of that. Then 2-3 years after it happened to be mountain biking, lots of new skills to acquire there. Similar story with competitive video games, after not touching them for a decade or more I immersed myself in Valorant for a year and learned as much as I could about tactical FPS. Then 2 years after I switched from reading only 1-4 non-fiction books per year to reading several novels in a month. It’s odd, if you asked me 10 years ago I had a clear favorite video game, movie, hobby etc like “I’m a soccer guy” or “I love LOTR” - nowadays it’s weird, the excitement for things I’ve done often in the past is getting less and unless I make sure I find new pursuits it gets boring.

> Just a 10% increase in production in the US alone

And how does that happen? Be very specific and quantitative. For example, which land gets planted that isn't planted now. Or, which crop gets replaced. Where do the inputs come from and how is that paid for? (Be sure to include equipment.)

Bloomberg notwithstanding, US farmers are actually fairly technically sophisticated. They're also money driven and competent.
If I understand the article, it seems they are destructive because they quickly eat the decaying leaves on the forest floor that otherwise play a role in the way certain trees grow.

I'm curious if their eating abilities could be harnessed somewhere, like in composting facilities, to break down organic matter faster. Even if it's bad on the forest floor, seems like there would be a demand somewhere.

> So is that why the increasing competition from the likes of Apple, Disney+ and HBO, recent price increases and password sharing loopholes have plagued its growth?

This is also a false narrative. Netflix subscribers seldomly churn. Long lived accounts typically don't cancel, since new content comes out on a weekly basis. You can't cancel your cable subscription and just buy Disney+; you usually keep Netflix around too. Netflix is only tangentially competing with other streamers; they are directly competing with cable.

The subscriber count is affected by two things: new subscribers coming on board, and existing subscribers leaving. Since subscribers usually don't leave, the miss was on the new subscribers coming in. It absolutely was due to high growth countries (like Russia) not growing.
Sputnik was very effective. Even the EU started purchasing it from Russia.
I presume by "defeat" they mean "use one of the libraries that allows you to pay $0.10 for each query, to route your CAPTCHA to people in developing countries who will solve them for you." Which is economically viable for individual use-cases, but still economically unviable for spambots.
How is it worse than a cult that employs terrorist attacks to enforce its views on infidels, like with abortion clinic bombings by Catholic extremists?
I helped drive that subscriber loss!

The mistake for Netflix was the price increase - I've had a bunch of online video subscriptions kicking around, and when I got the notification that prices were going up, it served as a reminder that I really wasn't getting much value out of Netflix at the current price, so it made zero sense to put up with a price increase. This actually made me cancel Hulu while I was at it.

It definitely doesn't help that it's about 99% certain that if there's a mainstream movie you want to watch, Netflix won't have it.

No regrets, haven't felt like I was missing anything. After the pandemic the last thing I want to do is spend more time shut indoors staring at a screen.

One comment about the article:

> While Netflix has taken small steps to evolve its release model, particularly with unscripted shows, it refuses to experiment with weekly releases on its original scripted shows. One exec at rival streamer I talked with yesterday believes this is a huge mistake, if only because it makes it harder for Netflix to build those reliable franchises it so desperately needs more of.

The only thing dumber than this idea is adding commercials, which they're planning, so I assume they'll also be dumb enough to start listening to idiots telling them to do weekly releases.
this is absolutely amazing. thank you!
Civil law in general goes against constitutional protections. Most rights one has in a criminal case don't exist in the civil side.
I'm also not a huge fan of traditional mind mapping (which uses a single tree and everything has to be connected). With Kinopio if you want to put everything down where you want it without connecting stuff with lines you can totally do that :)
I was only half joking: the culture of some of the southern states condones many things that don’t have place in civilized world. And back then it was way, way worse.

Luckily the last season only has 22 episodes!

A lot of series jump the shark of they get dragged out for long. Even worse, if it's a slow decline, it kills rewatchability. Some manage, but it goes wrong more often than not. And especially if your concept does not lend itself to a lot of seasons (like Chernobyl, for example), you should stop while it's still good.
