> Why not just make content available to everyone for a reasonable fee? If I have to subscribe to half a dozen streaming services in order to watch what I want to watch I'm going to pirate it instead.

Because the economy of it doesn't scale?

When Spotify was new, I was amazed by it. A simple monthly fee and I could instantly access all the music(tm)? Who wouldn't sign up for that?

As time went by I definitely wanted a similar service for video. Basically, the same recipe: A reasonable monthly fee, and I'd like to watch all the video(tm) please.

But that's not what we got, because they are different markets, offering different goods, which has a different cost and which is used differently.

It probably costs more to make a single episode of a popular TV-show than it costs to make 100 albums of music. And unlike music, where people typically have favourites, which they will listen to again and again, most TV-series are watch-once, be-done type of entertainment.

That means that I'll keep my music streaming service forever because I want to be able to keep listening to the music I love, but I will cancel a video-streaming service the instant I've seen the series I signed up for.

So what is a reasonable fee? I agree it's annoying to have to deal with multiple video-streaming providers, but if they were to follow the music-stream model (all providers have all the content), then the price you would have to pay per provider with probably be 10x what it is now. And nobody is going to pay that.

Isn't it more reasonable to pay for what you use, when you use it, and then pay nothing when you're not using it (something which really isn't a realistic option for music-streaming)?
Plenty of people have claimed those things were on the brink of collapse in any of the last 100 years.

We have a perpetual crisis mentality engineered by a chicken little media.

Which is why this would have been a non-issue if they'd planted some Willow 10 years ago and harvested that instead. Energy forests are just another farmed monoculture.
I set #0099FF, the opposite of the default, in order to quickly see if I'm logged in. I'd expect that being related to the default, it's a common choice. But it doesn't seem to be.
I don't think the author's argument was well-supported. I think it is more likely it was coincidence. In general, coincidences often seem contrived. There are countless photographs Paul McCartney has given to fans. If they were close enough for him to see, then it makes the occasion possible whether he recognized them or not. Hero-worship by a fan is a special thing, "wow, is there anything he can't do?" They're not exactly being objective, and everything the hero does becomes miraculous. Everyone has idiosyncrasies, and famous people are constantly observed, so every little thing they do becomes notable to the fanatic. "Look at the way he holds his fork!"

How does this work? It seems magic
Unfortunately I'm being vague because the ME couldn't draw a conclusion.

I've had three doctors read it to make sure I'm not missing anything (including the cardiologist I saw as a result), and they've all said, "It says her heart muscle just died, for no clear reason. It speculates about a heritable cardiac channelopathy, which is why you and your brother needed cardiac ultrasounds and stress tests, but ultimately they don't actually know why her heart died."

It's as close to a diagnosis as we'll ever have.

I expect the nature of niches has shifted to be less localized and more subject matter. Until recently, there really wasn't an equivalent of Instagram or Tik-Tok influencers that I have doubtless never heard of but which have many thousands of followers.

To the 99 PI point, I'm always struck walking around a city like London how much significant statuary there is of people I've never heard of in spite of being reasonably familiar with British history. And, yes, some of them probably don't have a Wikipedia article and if you were to create one, some admin would probably decide it was insufficiently notable.

>TV and radio broadcasting wasn't so centralized. There were a lot more local radio DJs and locally produced TV shows.

I'm not sure I agree with this in general though. No, you're less likely to know of local DJs today. But go back a few decades and "everyone" watched the same lineup of TV on a Thursday night and it would probably have been something of a cultural knowledge shortcoming if you didn't know who the network news anchors were. (I could name them from 25 years or so back. Really wouldn't know today.)
The words "junior" and "senior" literally mean "younger" and "older". If you're not happy with age being a proxy for experience, then you shouldn't be happy with these words either.
Oh god this is horrible!

Yeah, I can't believe how stupidly locked down some of these networks are.

I once had an employer said they needed a "whitelist" of websites we wanted to visit instead of a "blacklist" of ones we shouldn't. That was an interesting day...
Yeah, they could have caught this with even the most basic Github Actions workflow.
It has to be stored out of the band, otherwise you would have chicken-and-egg problem: what's the shape of the array, when the info is in a file stored inside the array?
My takeaway is this: If you want to meet your significant other, attend a university. After university your chances will dwindle down as you won't frequent that big come together place any more.
Similar background in metaCASE!

My feeling is that its decline was at the expense of the IDEs and another developer-centric tooling (not in the early days open source, but latterly), and not a bad thing. Too often the tools became the focus at the expense of both less abstracted solutions and the real business problem.

In a related field, process frameworks are today’s version of that problem.

Not only that, but the power of suggestion is corrupting by itself. “Is colejohnson66 working hard enough?” is sufficient to put a doubt in someone’s mind. I mean you probably do, but you have to defend yourself after such a uttering. Some media use this and it’s disgusting.

Actually, the power of Bell's theorem is that it applies to any physical theory which attempts to explain observed correlations in experiments on entangled particles. It really does say "No matter what's behind quantum theory, we know it isn't like this".

I do have a small gripe with the above comment, in that Bell's theorem only rules out local hidden variables. Some take the view that Bohmian mechanics is an formulation of quantum theory which employs hidden variables, just explicitly non-local ones.
Ask HN: Google displays trademark infringing ads after acknowledging complaint?
I'm sure our company is not the first one this has happened to, and I'm curious if others have experienced this and know what else we can do.

For over a month now, one of our competitors has advertising on Google search results using our company name in the ad text/title.

That is, if you search for OUR COMPANY, the first result is literally:

Ad · https://competitor.example.com/
OUR COMPANY - title copied from our company website

$Competitor is blah blah blah

The ads are clearly deceptive and meant to misdirect people searching for our service.

We filed a Trademark complaint with ads-trademarks-support@google.com and today we received this response:

We completed our investigation regarding OUR COMPANY in ads using the
following display URL(s) that you identified in your complaint:
competitor.example.com. Ads from the(se) URLs using the(se) trademark(s)
in ad text should not display unless they comply with our Reseller and
informational site policy or target countries and/or regions outside the
scope of your trademark complaint.

From reading the e-mail, it seems like the problem should be resolved, however the offending ads are still being displayed whenever I search for OUR COMPANY. Has anybody else experienced this? What can we do next?
+20 designer here:

> "One asks when the deadline is. // The other knows the answer is "ASAP,” so they propose their own timeline."

There's nothing wrong asking what the deadline is. Most projects can be strategic, meaning that the force of will is focused on a bigger picture/opportunity than planning the design beforehand. Also, an experience designer WILL ask because he can propose a realistic outcome based on the deadline (ex. do you want this project before Feb? Then we must take out of the equation feature X, Y, Z) since the designer is able to measure the speed of production.

> "One designs exactly what they’re told. // The other knows what they’re told is just one idea, and explores beyond it."

This is the biased author thinking, again, doing what they've told is BAD, when it's not. If the company wants X, why would it be wrong to do that? They asking you, the pro, to deliver that, why on earth would be good to design a plane when you've told to do design a car? The argument is silly.

> "One turns in their first or second draft. // The other does as many drafts and explorations as possible within the time allotted, then shares their favorite options."

Doesn't sounds professional to design 30 logos and share my 10 favourite logos" agains junior studied and poured everysingle thought on one design.

But would you only need 5V? DSLAMs here have an hour or so of UPS capacity as well, so if the router stays up, so does the internet connection, same with 4G/5G routers. Though I guess a 5/12/24V DC mini-UPS would still be a lot easier than actual 110/220V AC.

Not the parent, but I can share one.

A guy I worked for long ago was part of a partnership of architects and they split up. One of the other partners was known for never parting amicably and sued him. He claimed they had agreed on something and my client had failed to deliver and thus owed him some large sum. He presented notes he had allegedly taken during the talk they had a few years earlier including date and time and the word of another partner as support, who claimed to have been present.

My client checked his old calendars and just found the word "Copenhagen" for that + the previous day. With a bit of searching and checking, he figured out that he was incredibly lucky: he had been in Copenhagen that day to sail in a regatta, had lots of witnesses and photographs and easily won the case, the other two got into hot water for falsifying documents and giving false statements, though I don't know the outcome.

He was lucky to have had a multi-day thing and putting it into his calendar. Not sure if "Google showed me being far away" would've stood up, but it can certainly be useful to know your location a few years ago.
EU Passes Law to Switch iPhone to USB-C by End of 2024
This is a result of capitalism with unlimited credit-based money supply.

Modern interment businesses rely on the equation CAC < LTV, that is, “is the cost of acquiring a customer less than the lifetime value?” If so, they’ll spend money on advertising and this support an attention-based feed.

The fact that advertising now leads to increased revenues, which can be used as a basis for credit, completes the feedback loop.

With money creation coming from credit, interest rates can be unreasonably low. Bond yields, even for dismal companies, have been ludicrously low by historical standards. Advertising being a tool to turn money into revenue streams, anything that produces an emotional response will be monetized to the extreme.

A company can raise case by borrowing at essentially zero cost, use this cash to buy ads, and increase the demand for attention.

With fixed money supply, the interest rates wouldn’t get nearly so low. That would reduce demand for advertising because the cost of borrowing the money to acquire a user might exceed the LTV of the user.

You may not find it by asking others. You will lose sense of time if you really want to get good at something. Sportsmen do not go on a quest in their childhood. They are playing in the middle while their peers are enjoying birthday parties.

The good thing is you are exploring a lot. And exploration never ends until you begin to enjoy getting tired.
Running one command after another is trivial in most languages. The hard part is pipelines, which are inherently concurrent. For example, to pipe one subprocess into another in Python requires spawning off separate threads to shuttle the data around (there are libraries which make this easier, but then your scripts will require a package manager...).

Shells are pretty decent at piping and spawning subprocesses. They suck at anything algorithmic, numeric, etc. Thankfully those tasks can usually be handed off to a separate tool (e.g. classic Unix text processing tools, like sed/grep/cut/etc., or more recent data processing tools like jq, mlr, etc.)
I had my catalytic converter stolen. Thanks to location history I could check when I left the car there and when I came back and noticed the problem. Since at first I didn't know problem was result of a theft I didn't take note of the time when I noticed the problem and I also could recall for how long the car stayed there.

Location history enabled me to accurately and confidently report the time window when crime occurred to the police.
How is it out of touch? Dealing with the cheaters who are duplicating items is one thing, but what about the victims who have bought items they thought to be perfectly legitimate? And before you say "delete the items and refund them", how are you going to get the purchase prices? Pore through game chat logs? What if the items have been sold on again? Manually find and reverse all the transactions?
QM can't be based on LOCAL hidden variables. Hidden variables theories that are explicitly nonlocal are not ruled out. Separately, Superdeterminism eliminates both the requirement for nonlocality and the result that QM is inherently probabilistic.

That might be true if you learned English from reading a dictionary, but for the rest of us we have a thing called 'context', and we understand that meanings vary depending on it.

I don't think there were any errors here, and I didn't get the impression this was only evaluating errors.

I don't think her doctors missed anything that ought to have been caught. She seemed completely fine five minutes before she was irrecoverably dead (i.e., her heart muscle hadn't just stopped, but part of it had died).

And that's what confuses me about this rating system for evaluating what was and wasn't preventable. My best guess is that there truly wasn't anything anyone should have done, that it was just a freak thing that happened.

And I guess that's emotionally simpler. The grief isn't any less deep, but it's not complicated by anger. "Sometimes bad things just happen with no warning" sucks, but it's not complicated.

I suppose I do have a bias toward continuing to assume that's true in her case, for my own sake.

Safari is part of iOS though. If it was a third-party browser engine, this would've made sense; the browser lets the user upload files from their image photo library, but can't render some files in the library. But we're talking about the system browser engine, which is made by the same people who make iOS and is shipped as a core part of iOS. You'd think they'd at least think to make sure iOS's browser supports iOS's image format, or auto-convert to jpeg or something.
And yet, we don't ship (most) food in bulk to supermarkets for local repackaging for consumer sale. Certainly it's cheaper for the manufacturer to ship in larger lots and have the retailer take care of the consumer sale, but it's usually more efficient overall to do at least most of the packaging at the factory.
Webalizer Demo (1999)
"Not everyone agrees on what's great because it's subjective and different people value different things."

You are confusing people's disagreement with the competing definitions of "objective" and "subjective". These are separate things. Something can be objectively true and yet people will still disagree about it. Objectively, vaccines for Covid-19 can lower the risk of death for those who get a case of Covid-19 -- people disagree about it, but it is not a subjective question. Objectively, Darwin's theory of natural selection explains much of the development of the diversity of life on Earth, but people still reject the theory. There are many objective facts in the world that people still disagree with, because some people are irrational. What you seem to be confused about is the role disagreement plays in determining whether something is objectively true, which is to say, it plays no role at all -- many things are objectively true, yet fiercely contested by irrational people. The fact that irrational people exist does not mean that everything in the world is subjective, it only means that some people have some experiences which they experience subjectively. George Orwell made the remark that some people could not be brought around to facing to reality till their wrong beliefs were tested on a battlefield, and it is true, if you shoot someone in the brain, the argument that everything is subjective comes to a sudden end.
Working on the “Web” Browser for the MEGA65
I have been using ZFS on my daily-driver Ubuntu laptop for six months or so. Also been using ZFS as the backing store for a heavy update postgres database for a few years before that. Haven't had any issues with it at all, generally it seems like a very solid bit of software.

I'm not familiar with Deja dup, but the usual method of backing up a ZFS filesystem is to snapshot it and then stream the snapshot (just a file, can be compressed) into the remote store of your choice.
