By the time the DVD is licensed and produced and shipped and put on a shelf taking up space, that's most of the price tag accounted for.

Even if you used the wholesale price for theft, it wouldn't make a big difference. There's a real burden there that's very close to a lost sale even if it's not actually a lost sale.

With piracy none of those costs exist, and any costs that do exist are paid for by the pirate.
In your variant do the integers increase in order?

This is quite interesting. Pivoting ( at the right time )is the single most effective decision in keeping your startup afloat imho. What is difficult is that external stimulus which pushes you to pivot. Whether it is your talk with prospective customers or your mentor telling you point blank or just no traction with users.

Try posting on any of the right leaning subreddits, they are heavily censored and non-conforming people are frequently banned.

I’d encourage you to post a scientific or academic survey of Reddit’s political censorship. I think it’s common that everyone believes their own ideology gets censored when it’s probably not the case overall.
Honestly? I do think that video and song writers are overrated for different reasons.

Movies. It isn't that they aren't worth what people pay to watch. But after ... say three to five years at most, it HAS entered Public Domain in a practical sense - just not legally... A more fun way to measure it, once you can stop using [spoiler alert] in a public forum about a movie, it is in the Public Domain.

Why a shorter period of time now? Availability. In the 1930's seeing a movie was tricky business compared to streaming on every device any time. Nowadays, after three years, anyone who really wants to see your movie has had sufficient time to do so.

Song Writers. Have you seen some of the lyrics they come up with? Teen Spirit for example. These are not literary masterpieces. But the performance is key. Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" did ok with her own performances, but blasted out of the park when Whitney Houston covered it. Yet Dolly made money for a song that had been out for 20 years? Damn, that's a good racquet if you have the connections - because song writing talent is only 5% of this equation. The performance, publicity around the movie etc etc made that happen.

As for - "but it will make it hard for creators to make money"

Yes, the future will be different. Not all people will be able to make money from art. But a large chunk of this of down to democratisation of tools. Just because you too have an Apple laptop and Garageband doesn't mean you should be able to make money.

Ultimately, all the people wanting to make big $ out of music are looking at the 60's-2000's time of music where corporations milked the scale of selling copies of music rather than performances. Now that bubble has popped.

Will your song be a masterpiece in a gallery earning you a lifetime of riches? Likely not. But that is the same for most painters in history.
The spec allows you to add the domain in the request line like

GET website/path HTTP/1.1
Host: website2

Some servers, like NGINX, will key on the request line domain (website) to find the logical server block rather than the host header (website2).

This can lead to interesting outcomes
Studies have general mental ability tests as comparable to work sample tests for predicting job performance.

Hmm... I don't take from this that they're "gaming" HN, moreso that they understand that the product has to be well-regarded here.

There is absolutely no appetite for reducing safety standards for nukes, especially considering that renewables pose exactly zero threat, and also cost much less than even the most ... aspirational ... guesses for nukes even with relaxed standards.
I have a similar thing but with music/sounds - I do a lot of work (albeit non-professional) with audio and I when I hear things I tend to visualize a sort of waveform or overall shape/envelope to the sound. There are other visual aspects to certain types sounds that accentuate it. It seems like a very slight, learned synesthesia.
Maybe you should find a car forum or subreddit. This is not a HN question.
Yep I'm on the free tier but the new pricing suits my business a lot better so I will now be a paying customer even though I need zero of the new features.
It's almost like they'd seen those arguments and behaved accordingly. They don't make you call for pricing. They don't have SSO bundled into a higher pricing tier. It's à la carte for $5.
Honestly I think Reddit, at least in terms of topic segmentation, original demographic, and rough functionality (threads conversations) is the closest thing we have.

The biggest difference: the maturity and culture (compared to when reddit started).

This isn't a problem that needs "solving". If you want a different community, you either need to find one or start one. HN is probably the closest demographic to what Usenet had, so advertising anything you start here would make sense.

I've thrown around the idea of a paid access forum with heavy amounts of curation, strict rules etc. The biggest obstacle is the network effect. The only ways I have thought of to overcome this initially are: have a launch date with pre-signups so that a chunk of people join at the same time, and, have some high profile individuals from within your demographic agree to join. Eg find some CEOs or CTOs, academics, thought leaders, commentators, whoever - people with big names within your target demographic - and have them sign on to participate. This will attract more people and might help with the initial network effect hurdle.

Defense is a drop in the bucket, 3.5% of GDP in the US versus 2% in France. The difference is taxes and what people have let after taxes. France’s taxes are 45% of GDP, versus 25% in the US. The French have universal healthcare, but Americans have bigger trucks and more TVs. And based on their voting patterns, they prefer it this way, whatever you think about their priorities.
I don't think we really need to go that far.

But suffice to say, I think algorithmic interviews are a decent filtering tool for recruitment, and I haven't heard of anything better (though some other methods may be comparable for overall utility, but just measure different things).
Have a look at notmuch
There are some interesting wrinkles to this kind of scenario though.

For example, using password dumps it's pretty easy to find large numbers of account credentials which work to access email accounts (by stuffing u/p from breached site into email provider).

Knowing u/p of an account is a weaker signal of ownership than it used to be. Particularly if the account is old and has a weak password.

Although OP didn't do it, buying up defunct domains used for recovery emails and taking them over also removes any "proof of ownership" value that the recovery email is supposed to provide. Anyone can do that and it's an exploit of an imperfect process.

The OP is secure in the knowledge that they own the account, but from a process point of view the provider does not believe they have strong evidence that is the case.

The security landscape, technology and defense measures change over time, and I agree it sucks that the OP can't access their account due to factors outside their control.

P.S: Were the credentials on your gmail account ever disclosed in a breach? (e.g is the password on haveibeenpwned).

Azure, however, is a platform built atop the web platform. Google, a competitor with Azure, has complete control of the platform Azure is built on. Even if Edge or WinMo aren't successful in their own right, nobody in their right mind should hand the underpinnings of their business to a competitor.

Like, this would be if the US decided to use Russian rocket motors on their nuclear missiles because their best tech expertise was the warhead.
Ask HN: New Job and They Keep Changing My Responsibilities
I started a new job at a tech company 3 months ago. From the start, it was a difficult place as two of my coworkers quit during the great resignation. And then obviously my responsibilities changed.

After a few changes in my responsibilities, I was frustrated and started looking for a new role. So far, I have two offers and wanted to check in on whether i should leave.

1. Joined a small tech company in an an analytics job.

2. Due to changing responsibilities, I started looking for a new job.

No they’re not. A few are trying to regulate their citizens traveling to other states to get abortions. Meanwhile the mainstream position on the left is imposing a standard that under 30% of Americans support (elective abortions to 24 weeks) in every single state.
I don’t follow this logic at all. If they had simply done nothing the phones would have rebooted randomly when the batteries degraded. Why go through the whole process at all if they wanted you to replace the phone? The random brownouts would be annoying enough to make you do that anyway.

There’s a reason this whole thing was dubbed “batterygate” - it was to do with one thing - the battery.

About using nuclear to cover seasonal variation, its not ideal, but at worst you increase the cost by 50-100%.

Day/night cycles can make that even slightly worse, but even small amounts of storage can even that out.

This Korean study claims that a at 3% dicount rate, the price the LCOE of their APR1400 reactors go from 36Won/kWh (a bit under 3cents) at 90% average utilization to 52Won/kWh (a bit over 4 cents) at 60% average utilization.

In both cases, the costs are very reasonable.
The "west" has forgotten how to produce Nuclear.

The two largest countries, USA & France, have built 1 plant each, both for 2-4x the original cost, and are 10-15 years late.

France has cancelled the only other plant, and the USA has done the same, spending $4.6bn to cancel the plant at the 60% mark

Their fleets are now verging on >90% 30 years old, and they are opting to extend the lives rather than build new ones.

On the other hand... China is crushing out plants. It is the only country to be accelerating. China will be a nuclear power IP exporter and potentially the only country that has the knowhow and capability to build these plants.

As a bay-area commuter, the value prop is not having to micromanage the accelerator/brake/steering wheel in stop-and-go traffic. I did the commute for years in "regular" cars, and I've done it for years with autopilot, and autopilot is without a question a much easier commute.

There is a continuum between actively driving the car and falling asleep in the back seat, and AP puts you somewhere on the left side of the middle. It's generally great stuff.

All the point-to-point full-self-driving BS is meh, I don't really care about it, but give me world-class TACC and lane keeping (original autopilot) and I'm a happy commuter.

Musk has said about autopilot “the car drives itself”. And their latest level 2 driving assistance feature is called “full self driving”

> They aren't.

Then why do they care so much about abortion laws in Texas, or whether Texas expands Medicaid, etc? Really, why do they care about the federal government at all?

Historically, Democrats cared about the federal government because Republicans states like California had the money and they needed the federal government to redistribute it. But today, Democrat states have the money. So what’s the point? Why not just adopt universal healthcare in California without regard to what Texas does?
By tracking all devices, noting when one address disappears and a new one appears, and correlating it with the perceived signal strength to reasonably guess whether this is the same device vs. a new one entering your detection radius. On top of that, there is often a fair amount of information besides the address in the contents of the advertisement packet, the set of services this device implements, battery level, manufacturer data fields, ... - much like browser fingerprinting by checking for fonts and canvas edge cases.

Maybe not easy, but also not hard. The only thing that screws you up is someone playing with the airplane mode toggle of their phone while moving within your detection radius.
I don't know why we still bother to print Bibles. There must be more copies of the Bible out there than any other literary work in human history, anyone who wants one can easily get one - a physical copy, to say nothing of, you know, the nigh infinite digital versions online. Making no religious statement here one way or another, there surely has to be a saturation point beyond which killing trees to print Scripture is just generating waste for a landfill.

Yes, having a default case that throws an Unknown Error is the correct thing to do here. But that is still less ergonomic. For an unhandled exception type, the person creating the exception can attach a helpful error message. For an unhandled exception object, you can't do any better than "An Unexpected Error Occurred".

You can do a little better by having multiple error subclasses. But at that point you're literally reinventing exceptions, but with a greater onus of the caller to do the right thing. This seems to go against the "pit of success" idea from the article.

There's no way for the developer to accidentally miss an exception, or misunderstand the subtleties of the error inheritance structure.
Git-democracy: A GitHub action for voting
According to the original article, only 16.5% of the costs of a nuclear plant is from the buildings, though.

Most are things like reactor equipment, turbine equipment and electrical equipment. I'd bet most of that could be built in a central factory, and then shipped to the site.

In fact, when comparing to air travel costs, the reactor buildings can be compared to the airports.
Fortunately, that is not the alternative: fossil fuel use is already uncompetitive, so on its way down. But not fast enough, as societal inertia props it up against what cost favors.

Eagle: Tcl Interpreter in C#
Imagine now that the next day Alice regrets selling her half of the company and offers Bob to buy half of his shares from him to get back to the initial situation.

In universe (a) they agree that the company is worth $10mn. Alice pays Bob $5mn and they end both with $5mn in cash and each half of the company is valued at $5mn. Their net wealth is unchanged.

In the nonsensical alternative universe (b) they agree that the company is worth $20mn and Alice pays $10mn to Bob to get back 50% of the company. Alice would be again in the initial situation (no cash and a piece of business worth $10mn) while Bob would have made a large profit ($10mn in cash in addition to half of the company with the same value as before). If all the exchanges between Alice, Bob and the company have been done at fair value how did Bob end in a better situation than Alice? If all the exchanges have been done between Alice, Bob and the company only how can the net profit be explained?
Yeah; this proposal is pretty painful-looking to me, as a Python programmer.

How do you do finally logic with this pattern?
They are very similar in my view: they automate part of driving to reduce load on the driver. Traditional cruise control just maintains velocity. My Subaru's adaptive cruise control maintains velocity and controls distance relative to the car ahead. Tesla also keeps your car centered in lane, but is otherwise just adaptive cruise control. There's some more features in the "self-driving" cars, like auto-parking and overtaking - I don't have much experience with those, I've only used non-self-driving Tesla autopilot. For the normal Tesla autopilot, though, "adaptive cruise control plus lane-centering" seems to accurately describe it.
Omicron-targeting would be much better.
> A well designed abstraction could save you weeks (even months!) of time when you most need it.

Or it could cost you a lot if your guesses are wrong. It goes both ways.

It's better to write code the simplest way to do what it needs to do now, but in a way that can be pulled out into a new system/abstraction later in an easy way. This is generally done by writing data-oriented code (focus on what the data is and how it needs to be transformed) rather than object-oriented code.
This is only partially true. Some were identified on chain and they knew the custodian (person and not exchange). The said if it moved, there would be legal consequences, so it was effectively frozen, but not technically.
