Does that translate to 1 out of 10 stars, though, or are the 1 stars with these generic reviews still just a form of brigading?

Edit: lol, sorry for questioning the bad-faith 1-star reviews, keep down voting
You seem to misremember a few things. MSFT paid $7.2bn. After 3 years Microsoft wrote it off as a loss.

That amount of money is roughly what the top two smart phone manufacturers make in one week of sales. The industry represents a multi trillion dollar combined market cap due to smart phone sales. Then there is all the new businesses it enabled, creating wealth for developers.

Oh yes, Nokia lost. There really isn't any spin one can put on that.
There's definitely a resurgence of Tile. I was surprised how often I got a ping from a tag travelling in a taxi without me... Given you need an actual logged in app for that to happen, that was great.
> Transistors that can pass 120gbps are probably expensive as hell, possibly into InP territory.

That's a strange argument, given that USB devices and your USB ports and CPU need a multiple of the amount of transistors in a repeater to process these signals.
Nokia had so many missed opportunities…
I'm not aware of the context here, but the snarky writing is great!
It will go swimmingly?
To be fair, let's not forget that Google had their apps in there and then got them out.
At least the YouTube-like app I used had YouTube premium features at no cost, I guess.
Yup, that's spot on. N9 felt good to use, but it was a disappointing device once you got used to the level of openness in a commercially supported product that N900 provided.

Still better than pretty much every alternative at that time though.
The Wikipedia articles for both them and Cloudflare are being edited by people publicly campaigning for the site to be taken down. There are massive conflicts of interest there.
I think this is part of a more general problem with universities: they are designed to teach you academia, not practical industry knowledge. They don't teach you what you need to know because that was never their goal. (maybe this isn't true for every field, but in my experience it seems to be for most)

Ideally a lot more people would be doing apprenticeships or vocational courses instead, not getting Bachelor's and Master's degrees. This isn't really viable now though because of the expectation society has for everyone to get a university degree.
Spoken like a true programmer.
Same reason why I removed Windows from my desktop computer and installed Linux :)
Isn't that just fair grade inflation. Either 5 or 1 star so either 10 or 1 out of 10.
I see your point and agree that every bus ride is an additional cost. Keep in mind th at roads are also on-demand and generally not priced per-use. People generally pay the same for roads whether they drive a huge SUV every day that puts more stress on the road or have a small car they drive on weekends. Roads cost the same whether you use 1km to get home from work or need to travel 20km.

Roads are in fact overused and traffic is a nightmare in many cities because they are free. You could easily create a pay-per-use model for roads that charges based on usage. Instead roads are just seen as a public good used by everyone.

There's no reason why society could not treat public transportation the same way. I'm not necessarily saying it should be free. Countries with the best public transportation tend to charge something, but the goal isn't to cover the cost because transportation is seen as a public good.

WIT was genuinely awful, no argument there. I just think while ROP isn’t everything I’d have wished for, it’s nowhere near as unwatchable as all that.
Yes, totally normal. If you want to brush up on that knowledge it won't take much time either; maybe couple of weeks and you'll be able to recollect.

The thing though is most of the thing we (at least I) learned are outdated by at least 10 years. So if you want to learn how things work out in the field I suggest reading about actual implementation. For instance this book is terrific about Linux OS [1], and this is a classic on concurrent programming [2], this one about MySQL [3] and so on.

Not that what the rules actually say matters to anyone here, but you can read the text for yourself (the article even links to them):

"A foreigner married to a resident of the Area, or forming a
couple with one, must proceed to make arrangements
according to Part 4 of this procedure before arriving at the
Area. If the relationship starts after the foreigner arrived
at the Area, then the authorized COGAT official must be
informed in writing (at a special e-mail address) within 30
days of the relationship's start. At the same time, an
application must be submitted to the Palestinian Authority
for formalizing the status in accordance with Part 4 of this
procedure. For the purpose, the "starting date of the
relationship" shall be considered the day of the
engagement ceremony, of the wedding, or of the start of
cohabitation – whichever occurs first."

"Under this procedure, entry and resident permits for the
Area are divided into various categories. Permits under
Part 2 of this procedure are intended for a short visit in
the Area, lasting no more than three months, whereas
permits under Part 3 of the procedure are resident
permits issued for various specific purposes in
accordance with the provisions of this section. Part 4 of
this procedure refers to applications for formalizing status
in the Area and to the possibility of receiving permits for
foreign spouses of the Area's residents to reside together
with their Palestinian spouses (i.e. spousal permits) when
an application that the foreign spouse's status be
formalized has been submitted by the Palestinian
Authority but rejected."

In short, if you become engaged, married, or cohabiting, then yes you may not qualify anymore for the visa you entered under (and need a different permit), and have to report that within 30 days.
Dodged a bullet!

8 months is seriously too long if it’s the company dragging it out.

I went through something similar where I pulled the plug after 3 months.
Ah, I didn't realize. It's not very obvious what GPU you have in your Macbook, I couldn't actually find out where to find that in my System settings. On Windows it's inside the "Display" settings but on MacOS... where is it? :)

It's not a rare or unheard of thing for an industry to attack solutions that are significantly better than their own (very profitable) solution.

Psychedelics _can_ permanently fix problems - anxiety, alcoholism, depression - that otherwise would make pharma companies huge amounts of money.

LSD is incredibly cheap to manufacture. There's no patent on it. Same with mushrooms and many others.

Now look at how much money those pharma companies made with Lexapro, with Prozac, with Risperdal. Even when they were caught marketing those drugs for unapproved uses, to children; and caught buying academics opinions, they made billions off the stuff.

Compare the list of side effects on their drugs to mushrooms or LSD. Compare the effectiveness. These companies aren't maintaining huge divisions of PR goons for the fun of it; they absolutely are out there on the internet, lobbying, and on traditional media, convincing people to form opinions like yours.
They are effectively fractions. Everything is represented to the nearest 1/65536. This is equivalent to arbitrary fractions with 16-bit numerators and denominators.
> was it so expensive to add several bits

If this is the GPS week number, there is very limited space for it in the GPS navigation message; every extra bit used for the counter means one less bit for everything else. From what I've read, the navigation message is transmitted at only 50 bits per second, and the time including the week number repeats every 6 seconds, so they had only 300 bits to play with. Given that a 10-bit week number already allows for nearly 20 years, a receiver only needs to know which decade it is today for that value not to be ambiguous, and that should be easy for a receiver with a few bits of local storage unless it's been powered off for more than a decade.
I don't see how it is not possible to make good product for both. That is the fans and general audience. Appeasing the later is pretty low bar. Instead it seems that shows are aimed at the vocal non-fans at social media.

It depends on Israel to show genuine willingness to respect the legitimate rights of those Palestinians and to comply with UN resolutions.
Rest in Peace Peter, you made the internet and perhaps the world a more secure place, and thus a bit better. Many will never know such glory.
It's something that's inherent in the GPS standard, which was developed considerably before Y2K, and it's something that's very very easy to correct for.

Are you surprised that people are still designing hardware where the time rolls over to 00:00 every 24 hours?

I think they also buy these IPs for the cultural impact. With these massive brands like Star Wars/Marvel/Game of Thrones, people get a strong sense of FOMO because they know everyone else will be talking about the new show or movie and they don't want to be the only one who hasn't seen it. These names are so big that they influence pop culture, and that's why media companies are paying huge sums for them.
I disagree. Not every narrative has to be one over some apocalyptic threat. I actually prefer the more grounded (for fantasy I suppose) story over the zombie apocalypse-adjacent White Walker stuff.
I wonder what shaped the practice to be like this - megalomania, or companies legitimately getting burned?

> Contrast Galadriel who acts like a self righteous dickhead with Aragorn who was reluctant to accept his calling spent and three movies proving himself to be worthy of honor and love

You mean three books, right?

The difference here is that Aragorn was written by Tolkien, this show wasn't and has completely betrayed the original material.

Race or gender swaps are not a big issue, but they become one if the purpose is the swap for the swap just for marketing purpose.

Elves are almost eugenetically born all the same, want to add some diversity? Go for humans.

Wanna piss off the audience so that the debate will create more engagement? do exactly what shouldn't be done, because it's out of character.

Another example is the new Disney's Pinocchio, were the Blue Fairy is portrait by a black woman. The problem is not that she is black of course. but that the original story is set in Italy, Tuscany, mid 1800, were no black woman was ever seen and she is also described as "il viso bianco come un'immagine di cera" that translates to "her face as white as a wax image".

It becomes clear that the black blue fairy was put there to check a box and not because she serves some need to modernize the story, which is exactly the same that Collodi wrote 140 years ago.

EDIT

it's the same reason why people cricized film directors that casted Scarlett Johansson for every role or the god awful Ghost in the shell live action where, not only the story was orribly mutilated, but the setup was very very far from the original Japanese one, completely ruining the experience.

It's not about the colour of the skin or the gender of the actors, of course, it's about expectations. I expect Black Panther to be black, Thor to be white and blonde, Ghost in the shell to be set in futuristic Japan etc.
While I agree with the sentiment, this isn’t “Bezos pushing it”. Look at any big movie franchise — this is just standard pre release merchandizing tie ins.

You want to make a release like this “a cultural event”. The latest Jurassic Park was everywhere. They even partnered with Walmart and decorated the outside of their buildings with giant posters of dinosaurs. I’m also remembering one of the Pirates of the Caribbean films: posters, buses, soda drinks, commercials, and even the snack Pirates Booty we’re all for a limited time only covered in the film logo.

I also read negative reviews. But I trust the masses way more than I trust the professional critics. Good example would be metacritic for video games. I look up a game and immediately switch to the User Reviews tab or go to steam reviews.
> European invaders

Most of Israeli Jews are of middle eastern origin. Their ancestors have never been to Europe, and they have been forced to flee their homes and go to Israel because of persecution by Muslim Arabs across the middle east — the same genocidal racism that stands behind current conflict.

If you're so misinformed about the region that you think israelis are “European”, please refrain from commenting on the topic.
This worked for me as well, thanks!
Today's flagship TV series economy is boiling down to this: cause as many _(re)subscriptions_ as possible, everything else doesn't matter. So from economy standpoint it is profitable to delete discouraging negative reviews. We know for a long time that Amazon (owns IMDb) will do almost anything for money. No news here.
Wonder what people who like to employ the "it's their website, they can do whatever they want" argument feels about this.
There’s propaganda on both sides. You’re quite right about Galadriel in the earlier ages, but those complaining about her being a Mary Sue in the show are also missing the mark. She fought, she had ambition. Tolkien Elves are generally ridiculously OP compared to humans.

If you didn’t like the films, you won’t like the show. I’m ok with it so far, it’s exceeded my initially very low expectations, and as fantasy fan fic it’s fine IMHO.
Rather, not for enough Americans. Netanyahu won the hearts of Republican voters by openly treating Obama with contempt.
I consume cannabis occasionally and recreationally. I tested it for different types of pain. Back pain, nerve pain... For me, the effect was mild to none. But if I want any effect at all, I need to consume so much that I'm not productive.

I also know people who smoke cannabis all the time and are able to work. But I suspect their tolerance is so high that it's also ineffective as a pain killer.

Of course, this is anecdata as well. I'm willing to concede that on some very specific cases, cannabis may work as a painkiller (right type of pain, right dosage and so on). But I'm convinced there are always better conventional choices. And same thing for anxiety, depression, sleeping issue, and most things people try to advocate cannabis for.

Cannabis should be legal for recreational use, and may have some niche therapeutical applications. But it's certainly not a miracle drug as some people try to picture it.
I wish open AI actually had a SAAS model.

If you want a SaaS model, you should have all of the things that the SAAS model supports including premium pricing and enterprise tiers, OpenAI needs to get their act together on DallE2 as no serious business use case will use the consumer pricing and hacked together unofficial apis.

Agreed--there is potential in seven years, fallout from this will be dubbed as racially-targetted, predatory lending, and it would be difficult to argue with.

I must admit, the sight of a black man entering a tavern full of white people did not urk me in the slightest. In fact, the thought that it might be odd never even entered my mind and never broke my immersion.

When websites remove reviews for "review bombing", I have never ever seen them also remove the "reverse review bombing", basically the people that give it an undeserved 10 to "make up" for the review bombing or whatever.

They were basically mini dreamachines. Never have been able to track him down. He just appeared one day selling these things out of the blue and then vanished. Weirdest thing ever. I bought a pair but I must have lost them. They appeared to be professionally manufactured, but I don’t recall any identifying information engraved in the plastic. I swear, this guy was probably a professor experimenting on the public. I wish I could remember the year. 1989?
