IMO Disney plus as a product is conceived as 'a library of disney properties' not as a general streaming service that might license movies from other studios. Anything that is licensed externally for disney+ is an exception. Netflix, originally conceived and operated as a blockbuster in the cloud is certainly going through a transition to more in-house product.

Other services are going the same way. Netflix being a first mover was able to license a lot of content for what must have been more favorable rates, now that it's much easier for a studio to spin up their OWN streaming service (there are vendors out there that will sell you, essentially, a streaming service in a box) they are experimenting with increasing their rates for licensing and simultaneously running their own service.

This is all region dependent of course. Often you'll see stuff available only on the studio's streaming service in north america, but licensed to more general streaming services overseas.

We'll see how this shakes out. Perhaps someone like paramount determines that their in-house streaming service just isn't profitable and move back to a licensed model.
That's a quality aphorism.
> It's "amoral" to pirate in my worldview, but these companies are equally amoral.

Amoral or immoral? Companies (being legal entities) are amoral; and I am fine with being amoral in return; but many would complain that it's immoral :-)
Weird article. After reading most of it, I still don't know what AGI or AGI-hard is.

Going to feed it into ChatGPT and have it explain to me...
> Its owner messing around with the stock price by announcing a privatization, then buying Twitter on what seemed like a whim was another big issue of course. He lost a lot of credibility over the years.

I think this counts for more than people realize. Similar with Facebook/Zuckerberg and Amazon/Bezos. The most effective founder CEO, in my opinion, for a large company is one that stays generally unknown to the public.

Tesla went from cool (I personally thought a Tesla was much more desirable than a traditional luxury car like a lambo) to kinda cringe, in large part because Elon Musk is broadcasting cringe on the daily to anybody who will listen.
The market was rigged by oil and auto before cars were climate controlled.
In the standard CHSH experiment, there is one detector on side A and one on side B, each with two possible settings. No matter what settings are used, the partial probability distribution for each side is uniformly random. However, the correlations between the two sides' outcomes are dependent on which settings are used.
This is such a dumb analysis - Lithium batteries are used in everything - tools, consumer electronics, medical devices, home and grid storage and all of the sectors that will be using it soon. Not to mention if you want to push larger transport sectors and grid de-carbonization you will need massive GwH batteries with 100kg+ of lithium. We clearly need more solutions, stop pushing lithium batteries like they can solve all the world's energy problems.
I'm not sure what you're asking.

The article concerns what some scribes who lived 2000 years ago wrote in their own hand - not the veracity of their beliefs. Something is fake if they didn't write it but it was passed off as theirs.
> private jets will still fly off to Davos every spring

I’m surprised nobody has proposed a synthetic jet fuel mandate for private jets. It’s defensible. It would jumpstart demand for a fuel we’ll need for general aviation. And it lets folks keep flying.
For some reason I jumped to hoping the title also implied that union-only anti-compete clauses in government contracting were also banned. But that was too optimistic.
So give researchers their privileged route to it. This would not be the first thing banned from the public but allowed for research.

What confuses me is, TikTok won't have useful data in it if general public doesn't use it, right? So the researchers won't have any need for it, either.
What is good law and what is bad law? This is subjective, and likely shifts with the context of the surrounding society. Law is not morality, even though it may derive from social mores. For this reason, process is crucially important to prevent tyranny.
For smaller projects that don’t obviously have a lot of contributors, I think it is good etiquette to ask the maintainers ahead of time if they’re open to PR’s before submitting one, because like you said, it takes effort to accept patches.

This paternalistic bullshit has no place in a free, modern society of any sort. And of course obscenity has 1A protection, that's in large part exactly what it is designed to protect.
Uncompensated non-compete clauses have been pretty much unenforceable anyway given the cost of enforcement and the actual value to the enforcer (usually less than 6 figures). It's a good step to ban these given that all they do is make people afraid to work somewhere else.

Compensated non-competes are a totally different story, and probably better to hold on to.
That's not required. To take a software analogy, you might have not exactly the same requirements in your project, but copy-paste 50 different parts from someone else's project to build yours with it. That alone doesn't make your project a failure.
As someone who grew up in a different part of the world, I had access to alcohol, cigarettes and drugs. There was zero oversight from the state and people were pretty chill about it. My parents gave me the talk about it, let me try it - had my first beer when I was like 11 (imagine the outrage!!!) and nothing happened. I didn't turn into an alcoholic - alcohol does not even appeal to me to this day. Same with cigarettes. I could not afford to buy the drugs. Kids were sharing [low rez] porn on floppy disks in high school. Everyone knew what a dick and a vagina was, took sex ed, there were virtually zero teen pregnancies.
>The idea that services like Uber without the drivers would make car ownership obsolete drove those valuations.

Huh? What? No. That's not where the valuation came from. To be fair to Uber, they created a new type of market for which there was an immense demand for. Their self-driving initiatives were a moonshot and maybe got some people excited and therefore invested in Uber (see Tesla/Musk), but not quite the same as saying it drove their valuation.

>Tesla, ... were priced as if self driving cars are almost here.

Tesla was/is a hype stock based on the personality cult of Elon Musk that stemmed from being first-to-market with EVs. The valuation wasn't really driven by whether or not Tesla cars are self-driving.
> * when in full-auto on a single lane road, when there's an exit on the right the Tesla 3 almost always slightly swerve towards the exit before coming back in its lane. None of the Megane, the EQE or the BMW i4 do that.

A minor nuisance. Unless you happen to be at the ready attentively double-checking whatever the assistance is doing - then it must be infuriatingly annoying! Guess what you're supposed to be doing, all the time...
>>with safety statistics better than humans

The problem is that will not be the expectation. It will need to be perfect or near perfect.

full self driving cars can drive a million of miles with no accident, but if on 1,000,001 miles there is a accident with a death it is all over the news, and people proclaiming the technology is terrible, unsafe and not ready. In that same 1,000,001 miles humans have caused far more damange and death but that is just "normal" so....
> Given the hostility of the current Supreme Court to federal agencies, the pessimist in me says that this would be challenged by an employer go all the way to the supreme court and be used by them to dramatically limit the power of FTC

More likely, in the short term it will be challenged in individual arbitration and we'll never hear about it.
Yes, Figma is experiencing an outage right now: http://status.figma.com/
I haven’t checked in a while, but last time I looked Tesla was supply constrained—they couldn’t make cars fast enough to meet demand, so (unless that has changed) they’re probably not too worried about hypothetical demand reduction.
The amount of sugar most kids eat is objectively bad for their bodies.

Porn is not objectively bad.

Take from that what you will.
> You are wrong about "should", because the word can and does describe non-emotional states

Questions of "how should a company behave?" can only be answered by one's feelings, and feelings require emotions to be formed. There are no rules of business encoded into the universe. Business itself is merely a human construct.

> At end the end of the day, if I need to make a call to the old country and various apps don't work for one reason or another

The modern phone system is built on apps, so if apps are not working for one reason or another the app you call a phone isn't going to work anyway. Long gone are the days of an operator physically connecting copper wires between two locations. The phone system you seem to be imagining no longer exists outside of museums.

> Papyrus is older than telegraph and yet it is still used to deliver important messages

And like I said in another comment, if you used papyrus to request support from your telecom operator, I expect you would receive even worse support than by phone. It's not where they are going to focus their energy because papyrus isn't where the community of customers live. I imagine they would put in some effort to accommodate you, but with only so much time in the day it will pale in comparison to where they put their focus.

> unless you have some evidence to prove, calls are indeed a fringe channel

Like I said, it depends on the business. The phone is unquestionably the primary channel of communication for some businesses when the community of customers primarily live by phone. Other businesses, particularly those close to government, do rely on papyrus as their primary channel of communication. And other businesses see physical presence as their primary channel. Going back to the restaurant, you're going to receive better service walking in the door than you will by phone. No doubt there will be a best effort to provide good service over the phone as well, but the customer who walks in the door is going to get the "A team".

The business of which we speak here is mostly in the business of connecting one's pocket computer to social media, so social media is quite expectedly where the community primarily lives. That doesn't mean they won't put a best effort into other communication channels, but if you want the "A team", you will reasonably go where the people are. Same as with every business.
It's fine. if it's not only source available but also open source, you are giving your users the four free software freedoms. That's already huge.

They can study the thing. If someone wants something you don't provide, they have the right to make their own derivative. Possibly with open contributions. You can take from these forks if they are public and open source too (but you control what you take and how).

If closed to contributions is the way you prefer writing your software, go for it! And you can always change your mind if needed.

Taking contributions can be very fulfilling, satisfying, nice and everything, but it can also be tiring since it can require to be pedagogical, polite, possibly make compromises, argue, etc. Your call and thanks for releasing your software in any case :-)
There's a more simple explanation. Companies were hiring because they thought they were gearing up for a bunch of work and that there was gonna be a war for talent. I could be wrong, but at least Zuck seemed like a true believer in what he was doing; is there anyone that questions his over attachment to the Metaverse? (I understand he may have known this was a risk; possibly other execs were more aware, and looking forward to it).

More to the point, it seems that companies were hiring because other companies were too. They didn't want to miss out on the party. Not an economist, but you see this behavior all the the time in markets.

Then after the euphoria wears off they notice:

1. Ditching a lot of unprofitable segments starts to look attractive. The chance for growth could be pretty slim, especially in a slow market.

2. Some of these people are raking in massive salaries for jobs they could get anyone in to do. It looked to many people like the strategy was to buy up people to keep them off the market... not shocking to see the change in heart, which lead to:

3. All these activities were giving employees quite a bit of leverage, and potentially calling into question any managers that might have had "hold down the fort" roles.

I remember having these conversations last summer. It wasn't 100% clear what was going to happen, but this wouldn't have been surprising; people knew. They did about the housing crash, too. It's popular to act like this was discovered by a lone genius, who goes against the crowd.

My dad with no connections and basic financial literacy, with some eyes on real estate, predicted this since around 2000-2004. I remember growing up and hearing about the certain housing crash that was coming that was so obvious anyone could see it. (sure some specific points of failure may not have been obvious, but we knew what was going to happen)

> In Slack's case maybe they have a bunch of undocumented APIs which are publicly accessible and now with access to the source code you know what they are, and when you hit them they result in customer data being returned. It runs in their production environment off the live site so it doesn't involve anything crazy like you needing VPN access to their DB to get production data.

Yeah, no, this is a security bug.
It's a terrible analogy really. Poor writing.

A gym is only unfamiliar if you've never been to a gym before. Almost any gym you go to has the same machines (cardio and weights), dumbbells, barbells, kettle bells etc. Most machines are understandable on first sight (maybe not good form), and even if somebody has never used one, the average person instinctively know how to use, let's say, a chest press machine because they've seen it in TV shows, movies, real life. You'd have to be almost alien to reach an age that would allow you to have a gym membership without having seen these machines used second-hand.

I'm sure Superhuman won't be the first email client somebody uses, so they'll likely pick up most of the features based on intuition. Based on that, the analogy doesn't hold up whether you've been to a gym before or not.

Well, that's highly subjective based on reviewer.

But, in general, Supercruise is hands-free and doesn't require jiggling the steering wheel every 30 seconds.

From what I understand, Supercruise is a lot more limited in where it'll work, compared to Autopilot.

But, EV market options are so limited that the differences really don't matter, unless that kind of functionality is top on your list. In my case, I bought a second Tesla because of the charging network, and because I needed a 3rd row.

Yes, it's always been an obvious anti-trust concern. Contracts in restraint of trade should not be enforceable.
“Mitchell” is clearly Ray Porter, an absolutely phenomenal voice actor/narrator. He’s done a range of audiobooks across many genres, and anything he does is a pleasure to listen to.

I sure hope that he negotiated a gigantic amount for his data/training set provided to Apple, as this tech sounds like it’s getting advanced enough to obviate a giant chunk of the narration business overnight.
This is obviously great for workers and competition. It's actually good for companies too, even if they are too short sighted to realize it. See: silicon valley.

TSLA is a good trading stock. I am buying here at $110. The negativity is a good thing.
The FTC believes this is part of their congressional mandate as per their interrogation of Section 5 of the FTC act[1]. If I recall correctly they were enforcing this under one legal theory previously that the Supreme Court struck down so I presume they have come up with a new legal theory.

This would not be a law, and an agency cannot issue laws as it goes directly against the constitution. This would be a regulation, which is specifically the purpose of Federal Agencies. It is onerous, slow, and ineffective to have congress pass small laws for every little thing that needs to be regulated. Instead Congress creates agencies with a charter defining the scope of what they have purview over, and the agency then creates regulations on what it deems fit. These can be challenged in federal court, which is specifically what I've been mentioning
Yes, it's subjective. The ones I like are good. The ones that help my allies are good. The ones that punish my enemies are good. Pretending that things are any other way is madness.

I disagree. They both have the potential to cause serious harm in different ways.

Candy is more destructive physically. It's everywhere. No one parent has the power to stop it, so it makes sense for the state to do so.
> Vocal game DRM opponents actually refer to a small section of the games landscape (AAA with Denuvo, mostly), so it's really something players love to hate.

It's not even that so much as "what the fuck is wrong with these companies?"

For example, I got the cracked version of Spore back when it was released because the official disk's DRM installed something that bricked Windows. Had to wipe it and start over.

From what I've heard this was an outlier (Spore's DRM being worse than most), but invasive DRM on PC games like that has always been about as bad as it can get. I've never heard of anything remotely like that from book/tv/movie DRM.
If it would just integrate with airplay (and whatever the Android equivalent is) then Tesla wouldn’t need to support a one-off application for every streaming service.
> But wouldn’t you agree that if I run a private professional library, I have the right to add or remove books by any (legal) process I deem appropriate?

Of course. I don't think this is a question of freedom of speech or anything like that. I think this is about how Github should moderate its content in a way that is best for its users and its business. Making a Twitter profile or a YouTube channel disappear is categorically different in my mind from making a GitHub repository disappear and I think GitHub should want for me to feel that way. If I don't, it changes how and how much I use the service.
Presenting ID is fine when verification is done by a trusted third party that doesn't retain the information and simply passes an authorization token on. It becomes a problem when the ID is parsed and PII is tracked / monetized / exploited.
Lessons with an online teacher have helped me stay on the ball. I'm sometimes frustrated that we aren't in the same room together but the convenience is great. Lessons also can feel a little bit like being back in school, bit initially some stuff comes down to just investing the time and the teacher had helped me avoid bad habits. The latter might be more of a risk with a cello than a guitar though.
This appears to be correct. The racism allegations are likely legitimate* but they don't appear to be involved with the account being taken down.

What, exactly, is wrong with boobs? Porn itself? What part of it is exploitative for the viewer? For the consenting and paid actor?
"We clearly need more solutions, stop pushing lithium batteries like they can solve all the world's energy problems."

That's right. We need to push natrium based batteries for stationary use cases, like grid storage and reserve the lithium based for mobile use.
Pornography has historically been about as accessible as any other form of media. At first it was limited to hand-drawn on paper [1] (just like any other content before the printing press). Woodblock and later cooper-plate printing made it easier to mass produce (just like everything else). Photography was almost immediately used to produce pornography, as was motion picture film. And of course, the internet made it drastically easier to distribute digitally.

In short, pornography has always followed the existing means of media production and distribution.

The funny part is that even this tiny bit of legislation to protect kids from porn has you up in arms. I would like to see way way more legal action against the porn industry than this, but at least it makes them liable for damages if they ruin a kid’s innocence.

If an adult persuaded a child to stick their finger in a mousetrap, the resulting injury wouldn’t be entirely owed to said mousetrap.

Like it or not, Putin did exactly what he said he would do should Ukraine (or any other border adjacent country), attempt to join NATO. What changed is that our sitting President encouraged Ukraine’s to go for it, where past presidents discouraged poking the bear.
I think a lot of car manufacturers have gone the path of no physical switches and it's becoming irritating. You shouldn't have to navigate screens to adjust your hvac while driving.
Turns out it's really easy to pass a law and really hard to actually enforce it especially when you don't want to and the result of enforcement would be really unpopular...
