The most likely theory is that HBO (under the former ownership) signed deals on streaming residuals for these shows that make them more expensive to keep available than they’re worth.

They expected Westworld, for example, to do Game of Thrones-class numbers and continue to draw subscribers for years as a catalog title. It didn’t sustain that level of interest. And the new ownership doesn’t seem to believe in the value of catalog titles in the first place: I wouldn’t be surprised if The Wire and The Sopranos eventually get moved or sold elsewhere.
The history is preserved through the archive though, no? Wouldn't compaction be the logical result over time? In my head I'm thinking that old events probably used to have surpluses of books and editorials written about them that now occupy the chapter of a history book that you might read twice.

Yup! It as far more forgivable than an Uber driver taking the wrong turn half a dozen times in a row. It was half the cost, before tip. And it was up to four times as long a wait, not always four times as long. All of that more than makes up for the fun.

Try to not recommend Tampermonkey, it is closed source, slow, bloated and a bit sketchy, uses Google Analytics and right now the privacy policy link in their website isn't working for me (redirects to the home page). There are better, faster, less bloated and open source alternatives, like Violentmonkey which now has a reasonable privacy policy (https://violentmonkey.github.io/privacy/).

So, from what I've heard when I was 'visiting' tenderloin: there used to be a lot of vets who came in SF after the Vietnam war (heard that from a Vietnam veteran btw, so it might be a bit of a perception bias), and they basically were accepted. This brought more vets/homeless, and with them drugs to 'treat' PTSD, and this started a feedback loop.
Ah, good idea. I'll take a look. Thanks.
Wind chill is because your body heat makes a bubble of warm air which the wind blows away. When you have a full body suit and helmet, wind chill doesn’t matter.
Maybe a cross-species IQ score would be interesting. Chimpanzees and corvids both can solve many IQ-test problems, but also are not experiencing the Flynn effect as far as we know. So we could measure IQ in multiples of a chimp's IQ, just like we measure cars in multiple's of a workhorse's sustainable pulling output. (Which is actually a less objective measure, when you think about it; we were breeding workhorses to increase that very target at the time the concept of "horsepower" was invented!)

> The only challege is that you don't want to allow speech you disagree with.

I'm absolutely for speech I disagree with our find offensive. That's how our culture evolves, how new ideas are tested and either adopted or discarded.

I'm adamantly opposed to speech that is a call for or a deliberate incitement of violence.

> Banning extremist content is the road to serfdom

Let's be clear about what we mean by extremism, because blanket statements like this lack any nuance and are incongruent with how any government or institution had interpreted free speech.

Is banning spam the road to serfdom? Is banning direct calls to violence the road to serfdom? Is preventing doxxing our revenge porn?

Extremist content is only concerning when it results in real-world violence. At that point, I am unable to opt out (i.e. not visit the site) and therefore am forced to have an opinion and react.

And, to be clear, there is a big difference between an extremely unpopular ideology and a call to violence for that ideology

Yes, combined with what appears to be significant narcissism with malignant tendencies. He’s so shameless though that it somehow convinces people who want to love him that his malignancy isn’t that bad. In fact, maybe it’s funny! Maybe it’s cool. Just keep watching, I guess.

I don’t want him to profit off of other people, I don’t want people to be scammed by him, and I think the situation is awful. But it’s nothing new. People like him are uncommon, but not totally rare and their impact is broad. We should all practice far better awareness of this.

Having said that, I don’t agree that Darwinism and economics should necessarily be overlapped this way. The Venn diagram would seem to have some overlap, but people are worth much more than what they happen to accomplish financially. This is just a narrow aspect of what it is to be human, and largely mediated by nebulous things which arguably can’t determine one’s worth from a personal or evolutionary perspective.
TypeScript solves one single problem and is pretty good at it given the dynamic complexity of JS language. Trying to justify its usage as "fix-all band-aid" and then not liking the tool because it can't do that is not very productive. You can use wrong ideas, wrong patterns, no tests and have spaghetti code in literally every other language, that's not something for TypeScript to handle.

As a 7+ year driver of a pure electric BMW i3, not the range extender version, in a HOT climate its last four years, far more overlooked is the degeneration of battery capacity when run and charged in heat.

I mean 40+ Celsius summers have been brutal on the battery which is a cooled pack.
Possibly this has improved a ton since our i3 was the original model year, and BMW replaced the original pack and sent it back to Germany for analysis, consistent with the i3 being an experiment by design.

It’s made me curious if this is purposefully overlooked by the EV bandwagon.
I asked over at the Faust Slack channel and the guy from Grame said (after looking briefly at the FV-1 instruction set) that it would require a custom backend assuming it's even possible. Which doesn't sound like a ringing endorsement. I think the missing link here is for the other ASICs like fxCore, CoolAudio V1000, etc. Faust is portable to ARM and other general purpose CPUs. They are also working on a project to implement Faust on FPGAs which gets super low latency. My question as always is "how much processing can you get on that"? It remains to be seen.

San Francisco budget is $14 billion. Of which $672 million is for "solving" homelessness.

Yes, half of Austin budget is spent by SF on homelessness alone.

Money is not the problem.

SF is already getting gigantic chunk of tech money.

They just demonstrated, year over year, that the only thing they are extraordinarily good at is wasting this money.

What we need is to fire ever single government worker and rebuild the government from scratch. And yes, I know that this is utterly delusional proposal, which is why SF will continue spending like Saudi Prince on crack and SF streets will continue to be lined up with homeless people.

Most EVs will both heat and cool their batteries as needed when plugged in to maintain a healthy temperature.
Anyone who is trying to start an ICE at -40 (C or F, they are the same at that temp), will have it plugged in with a block heater. Or if in Russia they’ll have an insulated jacket for the car.
This is cool!

BTW for anyone else interested - you can hit "show transcript" on any YT vid (with CC I'm guessing) - and follow along with the video and/or CTRL + F to find mentions of things.

Well I guess they need to do later seasons good in that case. Westworld season 2 was a joke. From a drama in S1 to mindless b-action in S2.
Sounds like we have rather different philosophies about "try to do something".

Once it is established that the takedown was either completely legal, or very easily could have been - then my attitude is that spending further resources on a "takedown whodunnit" investigation is about like tracking an escaped horse from the open barn door to the highway, where it was hit and killed by a truck. Beyond a little story to tell, you probably won't have much to show for the effort.

My notion of "doing something" is more about closing the damned barn door, before more horses get out. The Washington Post would need ~zero reporter resources to clearly make that point. Maybe throw in a kudo to some lawmaker who's trying to help on that front, or some old-newspaper-story preservation effort.
The only thing I would disagree with is feeling unsafe in public parks.
The economics of books were always weird. $15 for a new paperback that you can barely even give away when you’re done reading it, so it costs more than the book is even worth to most people to send it in the mail.

It makes it hard to get old books to the people who want them.
Remote Waymo support can reach into the car's model of the world to a limited extent to resolve problems, but if the situation is just screwed then it makes sense to have a human driver take over rather than waste the passenger's time while somebody futzes with the model for an unknown length of time.
Perhaps. Not for me really. I would be using seafoam anyway as the heads on my engine have a manufacturer defect that causes sludge so I have to change the oil often. I use seafoam in both the fuel and oil. Electricity here is 11 cents per KwH so I am ok with the heating devices as that is significantly less power than an EV even if I factor in fuel costs. Once I finish my solar setup the power becomes moot.

The only thing that bothers me is that when I lift the hood to remove the heat lamps, a bird may fly out and when they go from 80F to -10F they can go into shock. They stand next to me for a minute or two and then fly away probably out of sheer boredom of listening to me.

Depends on your interpretation of "properly". Since 2001, the wind chill numbers for US, CA, and UK are based on a "bare face": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_chill#North_American_and_...

> Your particular use case is atypical

Norwegians alone account for ~5-10% of Tesla's global sales in recent years.

I don't think it's far fetched to assume that at least one tenth of all Tesla vehicles (and other EV vehicles in that price class) are driven in areas that do routinely experience longer periods below that temperature. It's likely much more than that, because in Europe you can easily find these temperatures many places far south of Norway.

A big difference is that while an EV is sitting plugged in, it can heat itself from wall power, rather than burning gas to do it.

Those approaches -- reducing pollution, etc -- aren't popular in part because humans are terrible about not knowing how to count the deaths that didn't happen.
For a while now I've been saying Helion is the least dubious of all the fusion efforts. Their approach cleverly avoids or strongly ameliorates some of the serious engineering/economic issues that face the DT approaches.

Interestingly, I am told Helion looked at using their scheme for DT fusion and concluded it would be more expensive than going to advanced fuels, since it would require heat -> electricity conversion in turbines and rotating generators.

Will this still be too expensive to compete with renewables? Quite possibly, but I think it's more than attractive enough to spend the money to find out.

I'm glad Helion seems to have broken into that exponentially increasing mindshare hype phase. It's going to be interesting waiting for Polaris to come online in 2024. It's also going to be interesting see the effect on other fusion efforts. I suspect this is good news for the other FRC competitors (TAE, Princeton Fusion Systems). Possibly it will not be good news for the more staid traditional approaches, like those using tokamaks.
yeah I recall my old VW Jetta TDI taking longer than I thought it should to heat up in the winter. Which I always found strange considering the amount of BTUs in diesel and how well my (at the time) diesel oil furnace was at heating up my house right away and also how small the cabin was.

In any case, my Chevy Volt heats up the cabin pretty fast. Though once it gets below -10C the stupid thing kicks on the ICE even though it doesn't need to. Something to do with regulations around ICE drivetrain components and temperatures. It just uses it to heat up coolant lines for the ICE itself, even when I have no desire to use the ICE.

Most people have no place to park their cars, they just leave them wherever in the open (since most live in apartments and there are few garages available).

Those who have enough money to afford an alarm system and pay the increased gasoline bill (because it adds about an hour of idling your engine each day) rarely revert to such measures, but many do. I see them every morning when temperature drops below -30°C or so.
