Morally, would it not be better to just rotate subscriptions? One month with Netflix, one month with Prime, one with Paramount etc? Or maybe rotate every quarter?

You could claim that by pirating you’re instead protesting about the fragmentation of the streaming landscape and are holding out for an everything-in-one-place service like Spotify/Apple Music but I’m not sure you’ll get far with it due to the nature of the movie industry.

Personally I think you’re probably better off with the rotation approach - after a few economic cycles, the streaming services that aren’t pulling in enough subscribers will end up getting bought by bigger competitors and we’ll probably end up with just a few big ones standing. I don’t think Apple or Prime are going anywhere because they‘re supported by other aspects of the company. Marvel, Star Wars and just general franchise fatigue is kicking in for Disney but they’re always going to have the kid stuff to fall back on so I think they’re safe as well. Which leaves Netflix, Paramount, HBO, Hulu etc scrapping each other for anyone without kids or who don’t mind the extra subscription.
No, those are mostly caused by having over 7 billion people and improving quality of life.
Implicit bias is real and there are ways to mitigate some of it. More process driven interview frameworks, less 'he seem like me so he probably good'.
The 'best' part about this power is they don't record their interrogations. All of the 'truth' from the interview is recorded on paper by the FBI agents.
So many of the comments in this thread are misinterpreting the phrase, "benevolent sexism".

"Benevolent" is describing the context of the sexism, not judging that the sexism itself is morally good.

The context of the term still heavily implies that "benevolent sexism" is a moral/social failure.

To call out an idea as "benevolent sexism" is just shorthand to say, "despite this idea being framed as a positive affirmation, it reinforces the structure of traditional gender roles and sexism."
pavlov suggests companies now just sell the high value ad-free users data so they can be targeted by ads elsewhere in their lives while the source service remains (technically) ad free, which makes a sickening amount of sense.

If I steal $1,000 and promptly donate $1,000 to charity, it is very likely that that money would be tracked down and returned.

On the other hand, if I steal $1,000 and make retail purchases over the course of twelve months less than $5 each, the monies would not be returned from the retailers to the victim of my theft. At that point it is up to the courts(civil and criminal) to force me to make amends to the original victim.

Your scenario is similar to the latter example for most of the end recipients. If an account with zero bitcoins receives a stolen bitcoin and sends it to one recipient, that recipient would certainly fall under the first scenario I put forth. As the transactions become more complex and diffuse, the latter scenario is more likely.

In most of the world you do have either wifi or data coverage.

Yeah seems really far-fetched. The whole idea that Apple did the green bubbles with the purpose of branding kids with Android phones as poor as some way of bullying them into getting an iPhone is borderline conspiracy theorist, possibly stemming from some anti-capitalist sentiment.

Something like Eno's tape loops, in 1949 Daphe Oram was doing similar research with optical "tape" loops on some early synths she built. What's fascinating is how no one had any paths to follow, they were just throwing things at the wall to see what worked.
Are you sure that works for all languages? I think it's just that the Javascript/Typescript plugins are made available to all IDEs.

It certainly used to be (and I believe its still the case) that the "major" language plugins besides JS are only usable in their specific IDE or in IDEA Ultimate (which can run all of them) (i.e. PHP w/ PHPStorm, Ruby w/ RubyMine and Python w/ PyCharm)
I'm sorry, I know this is off topic, but I've been looking around at the Fleet docs and can't quite find an answer to this so far, so just hoping you might have an answer.

Does the front end stack of Fleet allow one to run it in a browser when using a remote back end? The same way you can run the back end of VS Code or JupyterLab on a server and render the front end in a browser tab?

I understand you can run the front end locally on your desktop and the back end configured as a remote on a server, but the rendering of the front end in a browser is what I need for the dev environment I need to use at work[1].

Empowering Device Ecosystems with XR
No one else needs to dislike it as far as I'm concerned, people like what they like. Mostly I was eye rolling at using a quote from it as any form of contemporary social commentary.
The most interesting part of this -besides the obvious absurdity of "benevolent sexism"- is this line:

"In more egalitarian societies, people have more positive attitudes towards men than in less egalitarian societies."

This makes sense to me- the person you're going to fear the most is someone who has power over you. In the absence of toxic power dynamics, there would probably be a lot more social and sexual openness between the sexes. Probably a big part of what's going on here is that men are seen as threatening in a way that women aren't. And I don't think there's any biological reason that men should be seen as threatening. Cultural reasons, maybe, but those can be fixed.

By the way- please read what I actually wrote, not what you assume I meant, before downvoting. I'm not accusing anyone of anything, in fact I specifically said that men are not bad or any worse than women. If you didn't catch that, read it again. Thank you.

I see it more as, where business is going these days simply isn't compatible with the real progress we see on stuff like Star Trek.

Some examples of real progress: automation, leisure time, low or no taxes on labor, residual income for everyone, longer lifespans, having children without fear of the world ending in a few years, radical inclusion, decommodification, politics without corruption, ending sexism/racism/agism/ableism/etc, renewable (free or nearly free) energy, free education, free or nearly free basic resources of life like food/shelter, free or nearly free medical care, a gradually lowering retirement age as tech improves..

Some examples of phantom progress: advertising, collecting rents, converting unsustainable resources to capital, profiting from externalities, exploitation of the commons for private gain, charging interest, profiting from the labor of others, paying dividends, exclusivity, service industries, lobbying, divisive politics, monopoly/duopoly, patents/copyrights, unjust law enforcement (unequally applied), celebrity, royalty, dynastic wealth, patriarchy, for-profit insurance, service fees on the transfer of money, forcing the indigent and elderly to work to survive..

Seen through this lens, the larger and less competitive companies grow, the more they impede real progress. We currently live under the largest companies in the history of the world, exploiting more people than at any other time except perhaps during colonialism/slavery. Which is now returning as neocolonialism as the rest of the world catches up to the developed world, so without a cheap labor force, we exploit ourselves.

I only see one outcome without some kind of spiritual revolution: the gradual loss of income and buying power for working people, following a curve like Moore's Law where access to resources halves every 5-10 years as we're steadily outcompeted by the tech of moneyed interests, until money loses most of its value sometime in the 2030s and menial labor grows to fill the entirety of our waking lives.

If Apple truly wanted to innovate, it could for example lead by building its products in the US at standard rates for labor and resources.

Since Apple can't or won't do that, it turns to phantom tech to maintain profits as its ability to innovate for the common good (its original vision) continues to diminish.

In the United States the US Postal Service would be a great fit for a job like this. They already have good infrastructure for identity verification and physical distribution.

Criminologists disagree with you. Not only did homicides increase following 2014, criminologists believe it is caused by BLM protests.

> For nearly a year, Richard Rosenfeld’s research on crime trends has been used to debunk the existence of a “Ferguson effect”, a suggested link between protests over police killings of black Americans and an increase in crime and murder. Now, the St Louis criminologist says, a deeper analysis of the increase in homicides in 2015 has convinced him that “some version” of the Ferguson effect may be real.

> “These aren’t flukes or blips, this is a real increase,” he said. “It was worrisome. We need to figure out why it happened.”

> All 10 cities that saw sudden increases in homicide had large African American populations, he said. While it’s not clear what drove the increases, he said, he believes there is some connection between high-profile protests over police killings of unarmed black men, a further breakdown in black citizens’ trust of the police, and an increase in community violence.

> “The only explanation that gets the timing right is a version of the Ferguson effect,” Rosenfeld said. Now, he said, that’s his “leading hypothesis”.

Is that a problem? If it takes 100 times as much water to grow as ends up in the final tomato, then that implies that the other 99 parts went back into the local environment, doesn't it?

Worried if it gets lost or mangled? Not necessarily. Worried if it’s happening and I have no idea, and it’s spreading - due to hardware or software problems? And I’ll only discover it when something I do actually really care about and can’t easily replace? Absolutely!

The big issue regarding duplication is really more a identification/‘supply chain’ issue. The last thing I want to be doing is trying to figure out how to get that other file from somewhere (that works), from whoever ‘has another copy’, when it gets mangled and I need a replacement ASAP.

If you’re thinking of our local filesystems as potentially just a cache, we have no easy or secure way right now to fingerprint or recreate the other entries in the cache from sources (minus browser caches or the like, but even then, re-retrieving it may return different or not content).

So backups are really keeping the computing equivalent of local ‘ability to manufacture’ handy as a mitigation against risk. It’s not waste, anymore than keeping the ability to manufacture it’s own tanks and weapons in-country is a waste for a nation. It’s an insurance cost against real world problems, and causes a moral hazard with other actors if not done.

I suspect everything maps related on-device is a thin layer over the HERE SDK.

I suspect that's possible because LightOS is actually a skin over Linux or Android.

Sure.

> IMHO people pirate primarily because of money

The biggest video games are all free.

> At the very least pay for most of your content.

Because of piracy, all the streaming services operate like free to play games. Disney+ gets $80/yr from payers. Not bad. Compare to Clash of Clans which is closer to $10-15/yr (per payer).

They're doing a good job. I am not 100% sure what the payers are paying for. Lack of technical knowledge to pirate? You're right, nobody who would know how to do this would pay.

Also, aren't there proxies that you can setup that can inspect HTTPS connections (so long as you install the proxy's cert on your machine). I suppose the whack-a-mole might be more practical if a few people used those regularly along with some kind of automated scanning for DNS over HTTPS.

Ouch, this is a nasty bug. Looks like it’s a secondary consequence of some arm specific issue in the 9.4 support for sized word primitive unlifted types. Good thing folks caught it relatively early in the life cycle of ghc 9.4! (Ghc 8.10.7 is the most recent bug fix release in the 8.10 series, and I try to make sure I support it in my own hackery)

This looks to have a pretty straightforward fix hopefully.

In the space of miscompilation bugs this seems pretty easy to catch. A pretty nasty one happened in ghc 7.6/7.8 , where the register allocator didn’t realize float and double registers were the same registers, so code that mixed the type had total garbage!

There would be a tiny tiny bias here, right? There are fewer atoms available to decay for the second interval (because the first two that decayed no longer exist), so the expected time to see two more decays would be slightly longer.

You could compensate for this mathematically - you'd look at the intervals relative to the expected interval for the current radioactive mass, rather than relative to each other.

(Of course, the bias would be on the order of the reciprocal of Avogadro's number, and probably ignorable for all practical uses.)
