I really wish the show had another few seasons to get into the lore and tie up the azure ahai/lion of the night to the white walker narrative (if there are in fact connections as seem to be implied). I just find myself not understanding the motives of the white walkers. Why now? Who summoned them to rise up? The show never really answered what it set up in its first scene with those body parts the nights watchman found. I don't know who laid them there. I don't know why they are laid like that. I don't know why they are laid here and not elsewhere. I don't know what laying them there even does magically, if anything. It was a great scene imo, but without being properly addressed it just feels like provocative lore bait.

I look at the drivetrain as the biggest barometer. When Toyota does iterative design, such as from 20r to 22re to 2rz, they typically make small improvements based on the flaws of prior generations-- so a 250k mile engine may become a 300k mile engine. When manufacturers just start from scratch each generation and skimp on R&D, that is way riskier.

When you look at how many HF3.6 engine vehicles GM sold over the past 15 years vs how many you see on the road now, reliability (or lack of) becomes obvious. There will obviously be outliers, but the fat part of the curve (in terms of miles at failure) is what is relevant. Even when constraining for things like profile of buyer (e.g. subprime buyers will probably skimp on preventative maintenance), it becomes obvious which companies want to make quality cars and those that are mostly subprime finance companies that happen to sell cars (Stellantis, Nissan to a degree).
FWIW I refuse to use docker except to "experiment" with another distro dependencies or libraries.

I see it as a waste of limited hardware resources, unless it is used for lightweight servers.
> they should be able to use the courts to get the amendments they want

The court makes tens to hundreds of interpretations of case law and its interaction with the constitution every year. They've generated thousands, if not tens of thousands, of pages of interpretations and case law over the years.

And it's worth noting that rights not explicitly enumerated in the constitution are still rights protected by the constitution. The current SC just disagrees with the previous SC's decision on what those un-enumerated rights are.

EDIT: Side note - the court wasn't even being asked to overturn Roe v Wade - they took that upon themselves. All that was being contested was a state's ability to limit abortions beyond the first trimester (something commonly allowed as part of the "balance" between states rights and women's rights built upon RvW). Highly sus that they decided to take this on with such an unrelated court case.

i would argue that in many cases, having multiple directors is actually one of the great benefits of television and even within the constraints of a show, they still have considerable freedom to define the tone. tv is also a great format for relative unknowns to find their voice.
steven spielberg was an 'unremarkable' tv director until he worked on Columbo and his episode- The Perfect Murder was a breakthrough that still stands apart to this day. similarly, put together any two episodes of the x files and the range is pretty incredible, Grotesque and Jose Chung's From Outer Space are only a few episodes apart and they might as well be entirely different shows.

What's your alternative for stuff that needs to run on more than one server for reliability or scale? I have been duct-taping HA solutions since the late nineties, it definitely wasn't prettier than Kubernetes. We are beyond the phase where we want to care about a physical server with a broken hard disk or power supply. Whether or not Kubernetes-the-software is the answer to the conceptualisation of a "computer" is beyond the point; there is a clear trend towards abstraction of computing hardware for good reasons, even for companies way smaller than the Googles and AWSes of this world.

I would define "success" as you've described as the combination of cross discipline work and market forces which produce a desired outcome.

Having good design however doesn't depend on market outcome. You can have good design where noone is using it.

I would say that good design requires cross disciplinary skills or knowledge - requiring a core set of "design skills" plus an understanding of psychology, the end user and the domain it's for. The successful emergent outcome of this is "good design".

The difference between math and subjects such as design or stock trading is that math isn't judged by humans or human behaviour. Design will at the end of the day be judged as good or not by the people that interact with it. Stocks will be judged based on whether others are buying or selling. The skill in these things is predicting human behaviour, following patterns and managing risk.

That's why in design it's a good idea to meet your users, and to iterate following rounds of user testing.

The problem is that these things don't exist in a vaccuum. The funko pop doesn't really matter, its not taking many resources from other projects.

So it does kind of take things away from the fandom if it does end up sucking and burning money without much to show for it.

This wouldn't happen if Apple decided to cut their Apple tax to 15% or something. They already knew that this 30% is not sustainable. 15% would be still considerably higher than usual payment processors' but something justifiable given their massive investment into the platform.

But instead of taking this path, Apple decided to exploit this 30% tax for competition against other service providers. This is obviously unfair advantage, so sooner or later this kind of regulation was expected to come. I'm still not sure if Apple really believed that they could stop this kind of regulation, but they built their entire business structure based on a brittle assumption that they could retain full control on their ecosystem regardless of political landscape. Now they're going to pay the price of making a wrong bet.

Water in the Southwest has never been charged "the proper cost to acquire."

It's being pumped out faster than it can be replenished. Rivers are drained dry.

People have built for decades on the belief that water will never be its true cost.

The "proper cost to acquire" isn't enough. Who pays the cost of repairing the damage done, like groundwater-related subsidence? Of restoring ecosystems?

Ask HN: Is it a strength that HN's UI has not changed over many years?
I find myself lately gravitating back to older communities that survived the social media wave on the Internet because they seem to be a bit better at keeping track and promoting visibility of meaningful conversations, despite traditional functional flaws, screen sizing, and often dreadful large threaded views. I think a major strength is that most of these traditionally designed sites/apps still emphasize chronological order for content and posts, which makes the experience less prone to manipulation and more timely.

It also seems with older sites like HN and online bulletin boards, content can be bookmarked, and it's easier to correspond with users on a more regular basis. I think the most frustrating trend on modern sites and apps is that content I want to see simply disappears into a sea of other things I don't want to see, and that searching to find that content is futile, as results are often gamified and spammed into oblivion.

I miss IRC now, I miss bulletin boards despite all the flaws, I miss old school web sites that had the same content in the same place even after hitting refresh.

In my opinion, traditionally highly effective, favorable, and functional user-experience-based design has been thrown out the window lately as a trend; apps now are very often geared towards tracking, sponsored post placement, and profit/revenue optimization goals, rather than towards creating favorable user experiences.

It makes me wonder (despite some issues of course) if HN is still one of the best places to communicate and post serious matters BECAUSE it's UI/UX hasn't changed (In major ways) for many years?
Tech companies seem to believe that it is a neat trick to mislead regulators, in my opinion this is a serious mistake: regulators hold the power to destroy you and playing 'clever' may give you bragging rights but ultimately it can doom your company. Underestimating the power of nation states is a pretty dumb strategy for any company that relies on the cooperation of the countries they intend to do business with.
They aren't. AV and AC software continue hooking system functions to this day. PatchGuard doesn't cover every .data ptr and procedure.

You can do things with IoAllocateMdl, MmProbeAndLockProcessPages, MmMapLockedPagesSpecifyCache, MmProtectMdlSystemAddress to achieve such tasks.

They don't even need to be public, you can just walk the exports of ntoskrnl.exe etc.

You can even do insane shit like changing the PML4 of a process to the PML4 of another and have them point to the same memory. Or change the Win32Thread of your KTHREAD structure to that of explorer.exe and draw on the screen from kernel with GDI commands.
> where the race of the actors does not change anything for the story being told

So what's the problem with casting someone of a different race then? There are plenty of talented non-white actors in Hollywood that get passed over for roles because the "canonical" race of so many classic characters is "white". I agree that the motivation at the corporate level is sometimes to check a "diversity" check box - but for the actors this means getting work and getting paid as opposed to not.

Apple only made that change after incredible pushback from their community, and it still doesn't address the real problem: Apple could be charging 2% and they would still have a monopoly on app distribution that deserves to be broken up. Steam isn't comparable, since it charges that 30% fee and competes against other distributors. Despite that, developers continue to choose Steam over alternative platforms like Itch.io or EGS. Likewise, Apple is free to charge whatever they want for their app store, they just need to compete with other service providers to ensure they're providing a fair deal.

I developed a multi player version of SimCity for X11 that I released in 1993 and demonstrated at the InterCHI '93 Interactive Experience, which showed you other player's cursors moving around and editing the map, but of course it required a fast network to run on and updated all the clients synchronously, due to the limitations of X-Windows, so there were no interpolation issues. (X-Windows clients aren't even capable of performing local computation and feedback the way NeWS clients could and web browser clients now can, so it was a moot point.)

The multi player demo showing different kinds of voting dialogs, multiple cursors, the tool palette and pie menus, and the voting "yes" shortcut of building the same thing in the same place, starts at 5m45s:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fVl4dGwUrA&t=5m45s

One interesting thing about the SimCity cursor was that it was color and shape coded to show which tool was selected. The tool palette (and also the pie menus which had the same icons and layout as the tool palette) served as a legend for the cursor by showing the same color coded outline around the icons as the cursor used. So you could tell which tool other users had selected. You could hide the tool palette to make the map bigger, and use the pie menus instead, which were much more efficient.

How do you conclude "absolutely a dark pattern" if even one person realizes benefit from it? My point is precisely this - there are no absolute ethics when it comes to dark patterns.
That presumes that, after Trump, the Republican party is not salvageable. Romney is trying to salvage his party instead of running away. Even if you think the odds are low, it's worth the attempt (we really need the Republican Party to come back from the insanity of Trump).

Would he? Or would he just be a figurehead, or a war trophy?

> he could make substantial policy demands in exchange for his support.

He can now. In a 50/50 Senate, for him to support a Democratic bill will ensure passage (unless a Democrat defects). He can extract concessions for that.
Quality matters if you care about having a cash cow and not just a one off. Paramount+ is big on telling us halo TV's first episode set records on their service, but I haven't seen any data from other episodes which is telling. I don't think that a series scoring 6 on rotten tomatoes can continually smash records and continue to look like a sound investment for media buyers.
>>you can be pro-government and anti-government in certain areas of life

Perhaps, but you cannot be 'my body my choice' for one thing, and my body, the governments choice in another - the moral high ground on the 'my body my choice' slogan, has been lost - you can't have it both ways imo, and the left has muddied the waters quite a bit by arguing for 2 years that, no you don't get to decide, the government does.

- sure, you can slice and parse the differences all you want, but the previous absoluteness of the 'my body my choice' message has been permanently tainted - and will be exploited over and over again by those that are opposed to abortion (which btw, is not me)

> Sorry, you're suggesting that Microsoft's cloud gaming division doesn't employ people familiar with media APIs in web browsers?

I mean, Apple makes even more money than MS, and they don't seem to know the first thing about online media codecs and cross-platform API sniffing. So... yes? Even as someone who uses Linux as their daily-driver, there's pretty much no way for me to get mad at Microsoft for what's pretty obviously a mistake (and not even a serious one at that). Microsoft is a hostile company, but that's not a reason to make their molehills into mountains for them. I seriously doubt a any of the outraged commentors on this page are typing their comment from a real Linux box anyways. They're more incensed by the opportunity to hate Microsoft than they are by the actual problem.
