People hoped for and bet on an endgame similar to Spotify, which holds 33% of the market share for music streaming, followed by Apple and Amazon with ~12% each and no major shifts in the last years. Basically, a stagnant market that allows Netflix to pull in absurd amounts of money - and since there is almost no R&D costs on the tech side any more, all money that doesn't need to be paid out as royalties can be used to produce more content or distributed to the shareholders.

For a long time, the general idea worked out. The problem was that the studios did manage to get their butts off the ground eventually - especially Disney removing all their stuff from Netflix and creating Disney Plus with a lot of the most popular cinema franchises (Star Wars, MCU, Avatar, all the "classic" Disney and Pixar films) was a real setback - and now combined with the aftereffects of pandemic lockdowns and work-from-home movie distractions going away, Netflix' future does seem a bit bad.
You're right, apart from name, age, address, type of home there is no sensitive information stored.
Chrome uses an alternative tab workflow brought up by alt/cmd+shift+a which will bring up a list of tabs in last used order. You can then navigate via keyboard or just type to search tabs.

That doesn't explain why the other method isn't at least an option in Chrome but I figured it was worth mentioning for those that missed the functionality.

My first guess would be that the people complaining see the prompt to log in, assume it's blocking the content, and don't notice that the content appears above the prompt.
It’s also not how the market works at all. Just look at Teslas PE ratio.
"Dictator killing people - bad". Yes, very weak argument. Enjoy your doogh.
My computer has enough power that any performance hit from Firefox is negligible. I will continue to use it over Chrome as long as possible.
I'm not sure why you're quoting the dictionary, I didn't say you are incorrect, I said the rhetoric is escalatory, and it is.

"I'm going to shoot you" is escalatory. It doesn't matter that I could have been talking about photographing you.
Total opposite experience. At least under Windows Chromium is perfectly fine with 150-200

This was a good read for me, I'm not cured but it helps.

There is no disagreement among those that understand this thing. That video was made by someone that simply has it completely wrong. We've explained that to him in great detail, but he'll simply have none of it.

Wrong. People have been warning for 2 decades that corporate surveillance can enable "turn-key" dictatorship.
Somewhat ironic that Jobs limited his kids' screen times.
If music discovery is your number 1 music problem, why won't you pay for it?
> At the end of the day, that’s what should count.

no, that's just the most that could be achieved. The ideal, which is long lasting immunity, is not quite achievable atm (it seems).

I'd definitely accept reduction in severity, but would hope for a life long immunity.
Huh, you’re the first person I’ve encountered liking that behaviour. Since Firefox switched to MRU Ctrl+Tab by default, every Firefox user I know (whether a long-time user, one migrating from another browser, or someone for whom it is their first browser by virtue of their youth, and I have at least one in each category) has successfully found and toggled that option.

I must admit, however, that I do have Tab Flip for Tree Style Tab, with Shift+F2 to switch between the current and most recently selected tabs (like Ctrl+6 in Vim to toggle between the most recent buffers), and have added similar elsewhere, with Meta+F2 to switch between most recent workspaces in the Sway or i3 window managers:

bindsym Mod4+F2 workspace back_and_forth
bindsym Mod4+Shift+F2 move container to workspace back_and_forth, workspace back_and_forth

I wouldn’t want to be without at least this single-level MRU in my browser or window manager. (On more traditional window managers, you normally have Alt+Tab or ⌘⇥ and ⌘` which are all some form of more extensive MRU list, though I find macOS’s application-level treatment bizarre and extraordinarily frustrating because of how cripplingly limiting it is if you work with multiple multi-window apps and want to see a window of each. And yeah, it’s easy to see when reflecting on Alt+Tab why Firefox went the way they did with Ctrl+Tab, making it behave similarly. But I haven’t previously found anyone actually liking it.)
In your analogy, whatever happens to the lazy farmhand, the fox also still gets shot.
Funny enough, for me it's extremely uncomfortable when tab cycling doesn't represent the tab order I see on screen. I've always disable that feature and even have code to autodisable it on new installs
All rescue functions in modern devices do not work in cases of real danger
In short: I'm from Ukraine.
For many years i hear how google and other company implement different tracking devices to help in sitaution X that the option will be useful to protect / find / save someones life.

Right now as you know in Ukraine - war with russian occupants. And do you know what?)

Z E R O - emergency services that must protect people working from google or other companies.

I have one question: if they does not work in the worst thing ever - war. Why do the things must be included in devices? Remove these services, and stop lying about such services which is included (prooven by war) just for ads only. And does not offer any real help.
As a lay person, Netflix is just the victim of basic capitalism. You need to show endless growth no matter what the circumstances are. Fundamentally unsustainable.

I don’t care about Netflix, I was never a subscriber. But I wonder if this is really about Netflix or about the absurdity of the larger system.
>if taking notes by hand

From what I had found when reading about hand- vs keyboard-written notes on Scholar, it didn't seem to make a difference what method you used w.r.t. studies in the contexts of students and grades or memory (citations needed).

If the point is recall, which for me is the main reason I want to take note from reads, intuitively I don't see why the method of writing would make a difference on my recalling process which happens in my head. Keyboard has the advantage that it's easier to organize and keep around, so you have the option to reread your summaries more available.
Every child is different, but surely there are patterns and broad commonalities. Surely you should guard your children from heroin and meth and there are some nasty and destructive content on the internet that couldn't possibly be a good choice for any child to consume. When should your kindergartener start consuming snuff pornography? Answer: they a shouldn't, lest we wish a million serialer killers to bloom.
Firefox on Android with ublock origin is a _must_. Otherwise the mobile web is nigh unusable.
That explains it! I hadn't thought about the systemic flywheel caused by real estate valuations. Where if depreciation is a market assumption, values depreciate, which impacts financing options. And people expect values to depreciate, so people don't maintain and renovate, which ultimately fulfills the depreciation prophecy.
Suppressors are regulated heavily under the NFA. You have to receive explicit permission from the Feds for each one.

The US, like it or not, has specific carve out allowances for firearm ownership by the mass civilian population. You may not find it reasonable.
Sadly, thats not how the world works. To prevent war we must be ready for war. And right now we, in europe, aren’t. I am not talking about north korean style paranoia. But we should strategically ensure that we have plenty of an industrial base ready for repurposing and that we have secure sources of energy and resources at our disposal need be. I hate war. But war is a result of our primate brains and until we evolve beyond that we need to be vigilant.
> If these self proclaimed Christians in government really were, would they be writing and voting for legislation that help to enable the state of society that seems to be antithetical to what Christ taught

Maybe you should befriend some right-wing Christians and discuss this with them instead of complaining about them in this left-wing echo chamber? I suspect you don't really understand their perspective, and I don't think you truly care to. But, if you did want to actually understand, that would be my recommendation.
For me, the thing that seems to be missing from modern music is passion. Pop music isn't about art its about sales, it does not want to say anything it just wants to party. Where are the songs that say something and touch you? Where are the folks that can even sing without digital processing?

I think modern tools also have an effect on how we produce music - there is lots of software and anyone can use it but everyone plays in the same playground to do it. Maybe we rely on too much automation, too many reach for the same plugins.
Any market is "a machine for creating cults", including the market of ideas.

The first sentence of the article says it all.
It is issued in the form of enforcement action by the ATF. The recent SC ruling on regulatory agencies may change this some.
I thought likelihood doesn’t necessarily sum to one so it’s not a probability.
All Turing complete programming languages are mathematically the same, they only differ in the way they do IO. You can't write a algorithm in C that cannot be written in Haskell or visa versa. If you had a universal representation language it would be no different than having C.

As you say the difference is really how hard it is to solve certain problems plus the way they expose IO.
I think foal meat is a little bit too sweet for my taste, however i absolutely like horse-meat, we (Switzerland) even have specialized butchers (pferdemetzgerei) for horse-meat. Best meat next to (well prepared) camel.
Here's the difference though: you take exception and list a diverse set of uses where your phone helps. That doesn't reflect the relatity of how people use their phones though; it's a collection of apps around social media and an evolving selection of ad-supported, click-to-win games with short lifetimes. Your inclusion of "fact checking" is actually kind of funny, as the limited sources used by almost everyone could be termed more "opinion entrenching".

>> Cut the kids some slack, they are exploring both a physical and virtual world

If this was true I wouldn't have a lot of valid objections but coming out of 2 years of Covid distancing it's just not reality.

>> Isn't that what all tools are for, to enhance our lives?

That's what you want from them, but is that what social networks are delivering?
It depends on what people call "hornets". Wasps are generally pretty chill, even the stinging kind. And provide a lot of benefit to gardeners.
Yellow jackets are ill-tempered and very territorial. I have no idea what benefits they bring.
Unfortunately Shannon's law makes that all but impossible.
I guess you'd call that "white action". Like white noise but amplified. Like regular action but noisified.
Agree except for the last bit.

People don't want to be hooked on a website that makes them feel like shit. They keep coming back not because they enjoy it, but because these companies have figured out how to game our primitive dopamine system that has had no time to evolve a defense to this attack vector. So we need regulation to fix this market failure.
This article is making a lot of assumptions that I'm not sure are correct. For example, it claims older music and older movie franchises are gaining in popularity for the same pervasive cultural reason. That's an assumption, especially because he only mentioned two categories of artistic endeavor. What about others? Old books vs new books? Old video games vs new video games? Painting, sculpture, architecture?

I can't point to numbers that say he's wrong, but for my whole life I have never felt like I had access to a smaller variety of media than I had before. It's just not on billboards. It's more individualistic. None of my friends read the same books or listen to the same bands as each other.
This graph is hilarious: https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_...

The putative effect is not statistically distinguishable, as observed by the fat overlapping confidence intervals. And the word "old" growing in prominence in movie titles is a very weird, unreliable proxy for the effect at hand. The rest of the article is similar drivel.
Before most-recent-order was the default I turned it on manually, so it's most certainly not every user.
"Music consumption" is an ugly turn of phrase.

The music industry execs are the ones hurting here. The music industry has done fuck all for music and culture for decades. Now they have painted themselves into a corner with their paint-by-numbers crap and can't even out-compete the pop/commercial stuff from just a few decades ago.

Culture is innovating just fine, all over the world. Anyone with talent and heart can gain a following large enough to support them. You just can't package culture up and sell it in a mass market anymore.
Without Firefox and a few extensions like uBlock Origin, Decentraleyes and Privacy Badger, I feel like I'm naked when browsing the web.

Also, check out Firefox Focus on Android. Pretty convenient to use as the default browser for guest browsing.
I really had to go and disable that. I use a lot of tabs, I switch between them often, and a few of them stay open for a while

I have tree style tabs so my tabs are all already ordered in a vaguely meaningful way, but the recent use order of my last tabs is completely unpredictable to me!

With this feature on ^tab might as well be random for how badly it confuses me.. I'm so glad Mozilla hadn't removed the opt-out yet.

I use Chrome Mobile with NextDNS blocking the ads. The experience is mostly the same.
They are no where near as quiet as movies would have you believe. There are a lot of factors that come in to play as to how quiet they are, like if you're using sub-sonic ammo, the size of the supressor, barrel length, what the bullet hits, and more.

Sadly, I'm sure a lot of their regulation has to do with how they're portrayed in movies rather than reality.
I live beside one of the "more pigs than people" counties; pretty sure that the bulk of the pig count is one farm (with several contract barns). At least in theory, there's one person who can say those are his pigs.

I'd be tempted to train them, arm them, declare the county the Free Porcine State.
> Bandcamp (whose usability is even worse).

I guess this is a matter of taste. Personally I find Bandcamp super usable. It's one of the gems of the internet if you ask me, up there with HN.

There's so much amazing independent music on BC and the revenue cut for artists is extremely fair. Money spent there is well spent.
Odd. I've been on Mac for more than a decade so no idea. Notice that this only became a thing with Quantum so if you used an older version of FF it wouldn't apply.
I think the point is that you could occasionally read thru your relevant (for whatever interest you have) notes to keep those ideas ~refresh in memory. I doubt anyone's advocating for reading every note you've taken in school 20 years ago.

AFAIK our brains are not saturated SD cards, learning something doesn't remove an older file.

"Not the other way around." wat?
Spotify makes sense because you're swapping out inefficient distribution (record stores & albums) to an efficient one.

Netflix doesn't have a similar advantage. Media companies produced shows and Cable companies distributed them just fine before. The advantage they had in technology and being able to buy cheap media has evaporated.

Their advantage of being able to burn money is now evaporating with it. They're left with trying to produce better media cheaper which they can't do because they're worse than legacy studios. Or distributing cheaper/better which they can do but there's not a 10+ billion dollar company there.

Worse for them Apple & Amazon still seem to be happy burning money for a while. Not a lot of bargains out there buying media.
Yes this person expresses well the current atmosphere, I say that living in China surrounded by this low key annoyance at both the communist success (like, it s an old country, what have we done the last 6000 years and who's now feeding people instead of slaughtering them and discussing if the army or civilians should continue exploring the moon) and their flaws (at the same time they re just taking better care of the sheeps, not turning us into trusted empowered citizens)

It's not the same game at all between us and the americans. The americans arent trying to play 5D chess on a falling giant towers firefighting one problem while creating 10 others. Americans and the rest of the world quite frankly, tolerate suboptimization while we believe, or rather the communists pretend they believe, that we can reach an optimum: no crime, everyone agreeing, everyone patriotic, win every competition of any sort, sky always blue, world always rotating around us. So we control, every angle of every mirror. If it was a choice, like in my home country, France, to go another way than the americans, it'd be fine-ish, but no one here can claim that, so we cant own our mistakes, nor our successes.

I like his idea of a ceiling, an accurate way to describe the constant sycophance we have to deploy to do what we want despite it being maybe out of the box we were expected to stay in until the great leader discovers another larger box was surrounding it. Wont stop us trying to force its boundaries though, and it s a fallacy to think the common Chinese doesnt astutely perceive and navigate this to his best interest, less vocally than americans maybe.
So far it appears that only early beta customers of Starlink are getting anywhere close to useable service and as soon as it opens up to more customers the links quickly saturate and you're back to whatever everyone else is offering - except with higher latencies. Something about Shannon's Law. It's better than nothing for folks who don't have any other options, but it's not a solution to this particular problem.

The best solution I've seen to date is city-run fiber.
Nobody can help you here. They would get a Nobel prize if they knew how to raise kids. By having kids you accept all risks involved, to both your kids and yourself.

There is no silver bullet.

As always, going for education is the only thing you can do to reduce risks.

It will always sum (or integrate) to one with respect to the data. For example, given likelihood p(x1, x2, ..., x_N|params), summing (or integrating) over all possible values of x_1 ... x_N will indeed yield 1.
Apples are neither “a” forbidden fruit nor “the” Biblical forbidden fruit (it’s unnamed).

Jobs was a self proclaimed fruitarian - so choosing a fruit seems straightforward.
I hadn't heard of cohost, but there's something to be said about curation--which seems to be their proposed approach to discovery. This is a big part of the service newspapers and libraries (used to?) provide.

There's an argument to be made that curation equates to censorship, but I think it's wrong. Anyone can write anything on the internet, but that doesn't come with the right to have your message amplified just because it pisses off a lot of people.
I shall be the second you've met.

Its likely more useful for those who tend towards many tabs open at once
I did that transition recently and have no major problem with FF. I am liking it.
You can achieve ordered cycling with Ctrl+PgUp/Down in most software, like Firefox.
I use a mix of that and Tab to navigate through my tabs
Thank you both for the question and answer. I’ve been trying to figure out when I should be swapping disks in a RAID10 array. I’ll have to tinker with it to get it to work with my RAID controller (PERC H310) but this is exactly what I’m looking for.
Video production and distribution seems to be a very different model than music so I am not sure any comparison with Spotify was ever valid.

> It's easy now in retrospect to say "those hours glued in front of the PC turned out good" and jump to "but that's not the case for todays kids" with a rose tinted glass.

That isn't really the point... but it is easy to read that out of my comment. The point is the devices don't offer the possibilities that a PC did. The only thing you can really create efficiently on a phone are short messages, photos and videos.

> And the other side of your coin "glued in front of PC" is people like me who spent 16h a day of my Highschool year playing online games that lead to absolutely nothing except maybe a little bit better English knowledge.

I probably did that more than a little bit as well ;-) and I do not reget a minute of it.
Doesn't work with ngn/k or kona, looks to be based on a really old version of k, but still, this is really cool. The underflow behavior looks interesting, but also like it might be annoying compared to just failing.
"AAA" gaming is also headed in a bad, but different, direction. Most money now comes from microtransactions, and the temptation to sell what amounts to an unregulated slot machine with a game attached will be hard to resist for most publishers.
Streaming video and making a (really pretty mediocre) browsing interface for it is an absolute commodity. Clearly most value is in the content.

What I'm surprised by is how long they were able to extract a large middle-man fee from studios and use that to fund a direct competitor to them. Took some chutzpah.
All well and good until they ask for my money to treat their self-caused metabolic syndrome and lung cancer, or when their self-induced depression causes them to vote for a populist authoritarian that takes my rights away. People's self-destructive personal choices ultimately impacts on others.
Are we really going to stop progress in the name of your wife? She can just opt out of the feature. Perhaps she should opt in to a burka or a covid mask.
I don't get the extensions part. All of them apart from the containers (that's a browser or more like engine specific behavior) are available for Chrome so they are not FF-only. Most of them are "over the top" if you start with uBlock Origin too. Like you don't need multiple extensions to do the same thing > most of the time that leads to broken sites. uBlock Origin on its own is incredibly powerful. Last but not least HTTPS Everywhere is also obsolete because you can force any browsers now to open sites with HTTPS only, you don't need it that anymore. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/09/https-actually-everywh...

And no offense if TechRadar is writing articles like this... they should open their own site without any of the extensions and watch the ads, popups, autoplay videos and such. Maybe they will notice the problem doesn't start with the browser of your choice.
