This was not the article I expected. My experience is that vets are like doctors yesterday for a different reason.

I tore my ACL this year. Last year, my dog tore his.

One thing I learned when talking to (UK) doctors about my ACL is that there has been a lot of recent evidence-based medicine about surgical interventions. As a result, surgeons are less gung-ho: it turns out, quite often, surgery just doesn't do much good compared to physio.

By contrast, when I looked at the literature for animal cruciate ligament treatment, it's... oh gosh. I went into depth on this. In 2003 there was an article pointing out that there was almost no scientific evidence for most of the existing treatments. Ten years later, there was a review article which essentially said "oh, now the evidence is much better, we can rest easy". It categorized the research into four categories, the best one being credible randomized controlled trials. So I looked at the top category. The only RCT I found had about 40 animals, with substantial dropout (very likely non-random). There's a lot of natural improvement, and tiny effects from treatment, with significant results for some (out of many!) measured dependent variables.

After reading the top category, I didn't bother with the rest. What a disaster!

Cruciate ligament treatment for dogs is a $1bn industry. But there's just no decent science being done. It's all tests of 8 dogs without a control group, done by some guy pushing his new methodology. Honestly, it's shameful.

By contrast, one of the strengths of the NHS is maybe that it can knock heads together , get large-scale RCTs going, and learn something.
It's a funny thing. The more important you think it is, the more important it becomes. If you allow yourself to think, maybe everything doesn't need to taste decadent and delicious, and that maybe a neutral green salad can taste fresh and palatable and that's good enough, you'll find it to become true.
I am with you, I was just minimizing.

Alternatively, not far long ago - there used to be a page with browser benchmarks - and Microsoft's darling performed the better. Your browsers (say firefox) showed worse - change the user agent and voila - it's the same as Microsoft's edge.
I never heard about "ephemeral credentials" before your post. I have some Googling to do!
I get the feeling that they want to go the way Airbus is looking like it's going to go with airplanes. Plug in containers that would be like propane tanks in the US. Not sure how practical, but it does cut down on some problems.

That passage reminded me of a remark by the 2002 French Fields Medalist Laurent Lafforgue:

"My specificity today among French mathematicians is not to know more mathematics than others, I can even admit that I know less mathematics than most French and foreign mathematicians. It's not about being 'great' either, I'm not great at all, on the contrary I have a rather slow mind. When I listen to a seminar, I'm probably one of those who understand the least what is being said: an idea in an hour, for me, that's already a lot. No, the only explanation for the successes that I have been able to obtain in mathematics is my being imbued by the reading of the great classics."

Any two groups of people classified by "gender or race or culture or whatever" will have different outcomes. Italians and Irish will have different incomes, representations in corporations, etc. The dogma is to say that all differences can be ascribed to systemic injustice.
It's probably why so many people want to learn/use Hadoop and whatever else Big Tech is using to address their massive scale. Premature optimization and resume-driven development.

I actually love git (even for small projects) but it's because I've been using it for so long now; I suspect if I learned another DVCS I'd be using it in isolation, and git works just fine for me
I think it’s an opportunity to explain how elves and dwarves ended up with different skin colors and whatnot. It’s a good opportunity for world building.

In the Hobbit movies there were some black elves and they didn’t describe anything about them. Just that there were some Black Forest elves mixed in with all the other elves.

I guess it slightly distracted where every minor detail had some back story and history, but I don’t think detracted from the story. I don’t think leaving out these details was in the top 100 flaws of the Hobbit movie.

As someone really into Tolkien, I’d rather see them expand or adapt the lore than just swap out details. It’s not that it’s the end of the world, but it’s dangerous to change details from someone else’s work because I never know what was the actual important piece. I suppose I could change Michaelangelo’s David’s sex but it would be hard to recreate it with the same qualia as Muchaelangelo as I’m not him. It’s not the sex of the sculpture that’s important, it’s my implementation. I’m sure Michaelangelo would have e carved an amazing woman, or African, or Asian, or any background. But few are Michaelangelo.

An example of this that I think went kind of well is the Kevin Kostner Robin Hood movie where they cast Morgan Freeman and gave him a back story of being a Moor from the crusades who returned to England. I think this worked out better than if they had just randomly changed a Robin Hood character ‘a race.
8-10 years is as long as senior executives last, if they don't make a big change then thee is no way to take credit for their vision. Even if the company had a "perfect" org chart (as if such a thing is possible), they need to make changes otherwise someone will say that they old org chart is the cause of success and they as a leader were not worth anything.

I don't know if the above fear would actually play out, nobody is willing to not make changes to find out.
I believe your explanation is more unlikely because the animosity of their political opponents is very transparent and also media reinforcing narratives that either increase condemnation or defensiveness depending on political party. Mostly a business incentive for media instead of rigid believes perhaps but the results are measurable.

The developments are interesting especially for the different demographic of voters.

> Do you have evidence to the contrary?

The believe in white supremacy playing a significant role is dogmatism and religious. It is also disinformation spread by intelligence agencies for political purposes. If I would ask for evidence people fall back to systemic white supremacy and it further collapses from there. Because even that is based on very questionable metrics.
Tolkien wrote from a perspective of what he experienced. That being early to mid 1900s england. Which simply didn't have many nonwhite people.

Also, I think most aren't actually opposed to minorities being in the show, but rather the hamfisted way they think theyll be included with. (I personally expect racism being a big part of the show that will need to be fought.)
"Fun" fact: It was IBM who helped tabulate data from the 1933 national census, which was then used to identify hundreds of thousands more Jews than would have been found by the Nazi party without their efforts.

"Machine-tabulated census data greatly expanded the estimated number of Jews in Germany by identifying individuals with only one or a few Jewish ancestors. Previous estimates of 400,000 to 600,000 were abandoned for a new estimate of 2 million Jews."

Their point is that Hey was a new product by an established company (20+ years in), not a new company at all.
In Hollywood you don’t always hire people for talent but branding and audience awareness.

If you have a brand like the Hobbit you don’t need brand name actors or directors to attract an audience.
This is subjective, of course. But for me, the ending of GoT just cast a shadow over the other seasons. It's a bit less thrilling to watch them now, since I know it will lead to an inevitable jumping of the shark, but I still like them as-is. The ending of HIMYM, on the other hand, completely ruined the series for me. I honestly have a harder time enjoying them, knowing the actual ending. That's why I think the ending of HIMYM is worse.

It's hard for folks here to give you the best advice without more details. I remembered seeing your name before and found brix.io, now coreui.io. Not sure if that's what you are selling, but it looks like it has ok traffic stats from a quick check : 80k monthly traffic, 140k backlinks (40k with anchor text of 'bootstrap themes'). No idea what your conversion rate or ARR is. I suggest posting the answers to the following questions:

- What are the traits the ideal buyer would have and why?

- What are your metrics (conversion rate, ARR, EBITDA and margin, sales backlog, year over year growth, etc.)?

- Who is your competition, and how well are they doing (absolute and relative to your company)?

- What differentiates you from your competition, in terms of assets/talent/IP?

- What is your vision of where the company could go from here?

- Why are you selling it?
I'm skeptical of the carbon footprint thing for a few reasons, but the other point is interesting and something I think about once in awhile. As we build out more and more bandwidth, compute, storage, and APIs to tie them all together, it seems that the world more resembles some sort of large computer and most of the work is just getting the data and compute closer together when needed and minimizing costs when it's not. I know I'm far from the first to have this realization.
I’m no particle physicist, but this doesn’t look like anything too fundamental — no new elementary particles, just some new and interesting combinations of existing elementary particles (in this case, quarks). It might have lots of further relevance, but it might not just as easily.

The introduction was indeed pretty cheesy. I read it and thought ‘I bet there will be a load of comments about the introduction instead of the article’ and then I read the rest of the article. Thankfully other comments did discuss the real content of the post.

They are not elementary particles, just permutations of a higher number of quarks.
My opinion on this matter has less to do with stretching and more to do with creating. It feels like the further we get from what the author actually wrote- in terms of dialogue, characterization, etc.- the worse the final output is. LOTR isn't just good because hobbits, it's good because Tolkien's writing is good. The Jackson trilogy was close-ish to Tolkien's writing, the Hobbit films further, and this even more so. I'm of the opinion that this was a major issue with the last few seasons of Game of Thrones as well.

> git is a perfect solution for linux kernel development, but the number of teams who work the same way as them is a rounding error from zero.

Yeah, but saying that here a few years ago got you lynched.
Couldn't you describe a lot of movies as "antagonist does bad thing and protagonist stops them". What makes it generic? Why are they extra interchangeable in the super hero genre?
But then Star Wars was envisaged as a series of films and the sequels and prequels are part of a directly related story with overlapping characters and pacing, with the original creators around to give it their blessing and the occasional bit of creative input. Fans can overlook a lot of shoddiness to see C3PO again or how Darth became Darth. The forging of rings or founding of Rivendell, not so much, and I think the story of how Gollum became Gollum is off limits to the series too.

The Amazon LOTR proposal is basically some new fantasy stories set in a different millennium from the LOTR world which loosely tie in with some chronologies Tolkien wrote as lore rather than narrative, with a license which prevents them from reinterpreting events from the LOTR/Hobbit books from a Tolkien Estate that isn't exactly keen on giving the series canonical status. Instead of hobbits from the Shire and kingdoms of Rohan and Gondor under threat - all places that don't exist, never mind the characters - we've got a blank slate fantasy civilisations called Numenor and Eregion (which will resemble LOTR in the same way most high fantasy civilisations tend to) and a pretty loose narrative arc which implies the bad guy eventually destroying them.

The output might be very good stories in their own right, or it might be bland as hell, but the hardcore Tolkien fanbase is going to be hard to please. Create a series of episodes purporting to show the full history of the Second Age and it'll be [probably correctly] accused of being disjointed and completely lacking Tolkien's epic storytelling skill; create a compelling quest narrative involving dwarves and hobbits and it'll be accused of discarding Tolkien's actual histories in favour of a cheap knockoff of his plot structure.

I mean, a licensee could probably randomly choose a third rate LOTR fanfic plot and sell millions of tickets to watch it, but that doesn't necessary mean its a good idea from a creative standpoint.
You're missing the point: We (GP and I) don't think you need known actors. There are great series with (then) unknown actors. It's just strange to have such a massive budget (which usually would go, in part, to known actors and directors) and then forgo them.

Also, for directors, there's definitely a case to be made that you need someone who can handle such a large budget. That's why I made the example with the junior engineer.

Most of the controls are about auditability and data access.

But the control frameworks are silly sometimes. Then add in that they’re enforced by 3rd party auditor consultants looking for any reason to drag it out.

And yeah, I tried to get this past them for a old singleton system to avoid having to buy a bigger non-standard server.
HoloISO [1] is as close as you can get to SteamOS 3 until Steam ships the official version.

From the README : "Is this official? No, but it may as well be 99% of the way there. The code and packages, are straight from Valve, with zero possible edits, and the ISO is being built on the official Steam Deck recovery image, running inside a QEMU instance."

You can watch it run on a variety of hardware on YouTube.

> LOTR is completely opposed storytelling wise to the current dogmas of postmodernism and equity

Amazon literally make (made? not sure is it still going) a TV drama about Nazis. I think they can cope.
That's lower than I expected, tbh.

I did their "hacking Wordpress" course once, thinking it would be a fun side-gig getting hired to pen-test business websites (and to accomplish the mission about 2 minutes later).

Little did I know that businesses with Wordpress websites aren't interested at all in pen-testing or security, least of all somebody showing up and offering this as a service.

There is a huge difference between transport vehicles vs. data centers in terms of the amount of lock-in to particular vendors &cost of switching.

Every time I read about how insurance works in the US medical system it's pretty plain to see that it's distorting both costs and patient care (neither for the better). How are people in the US still putting up with this garbage? How is any of this more efficient than single-payer or some other form of socialized medicine? It's absurd.
> And not to involve Jackson seems off

Personally, the more I reflect on the Jackson series, the less I'm a fan. He borrowed heavily from the pacing, framing, and selectiveness of Bakshi's animated film, which didn't finish the trilogy.

But worse, though inevitable when you have billions of $$ in your eyeballs, Jackson over-printed a lot of kids' imaginations with his depictions. I can't remember what I thought things looked like before I saw his films--and I probably read LOTR for the first time in 1993...

And I'm not just "new stuff bad". But seriously, the source material looked way different in my head--and felt different, too. Especially the Hobbit.

"Consult Jackson". Jackson had his say. He has no authority over new depictions; he didn't write a word of it.
I just can't get over the fact that there is a new web browser that runs on linux.

But Platonism is not a model of anything at all. It’s just a philosophical idea which, by the way, has no impact on mathematics proper, either.
The cost does not scale linearly with the #of packages. A table with 1 entry is not cheaper than a table with 1 million entries.

The same routing algorithms have to run either they have one package or 1 million packages.

Plus you need to keep the history of the operations for months if not years (meaning that you will store both holiday and random Tuesday data anyway).

So where is this flexible cost exactly?
Scorsese eh? What does he know about cinema, right? Okay, enough sarcasm. I think a lot of people share his opinion but they won't publicly criticize the enormous money printing studios that eventually give them jobs. Disney is a beast of many tentacles and if you speak out against one aspect you might find yourself turned down in other departments which might actually matter to you.

I think though that it's a huge compromise and sometimes as far as giving up your artistic integrity when you make a superhero blockbuster. You're making entertainment for kids, you're being pinned by focus groups, ad men and franchising demands, not to mention the strict age requirements, and as of late, olbigatory cultural stances. How can you even make a movie like that?

Don't even get me started on the ensemble movies. Those are atrocious. Good luck jamming 40 lead heroes in your movie and having anything substantial happen to their characters. Not that having them together makes any sense. Even if you own both Iron Man and Guardians of the Galaxy, thay don't mix! They have a completely different vibe!

It would be a fun experiment to create a Marvel Movie Script Generator and see if you can get something resembling (or even better?) than their usual shtick.

Of course, money is to blame. When your movie is a corporate product designed to earn for shareholders, you get pictures like MCU and the Transformers movies. These movies are doing their job. Too bad for us for being interested in an engaging, original experience. Thank goodness off beat studios exist that produce some actually interesting movies.
As always, it depends on how you use it.

Most cloud providers do let you run your own software on a managed substrate of infrastructure. But they also let you, nay, encourage you to build on top of their abstractions instead.
Most of the characters in LoTR weren't even _humans_, were they? It's hard to see what issue people would have with minority actors playing an elf or whatever.
