Disney+ got around this problem by just adding disclaimers to the content. They did this for all their questionable content, and if people reported it (IE they missed something) they were quick to add it.

It seems Disney+ isn't scarred by this at all (it definitely doesn't dominate the public conversation around it), so perhaps there is a lead in here?

In Dutch, "niks" (same pronunciation as Nix), actually means "nothing".

The law only applies to visual or graphic sexual content. I would hope everyone agrees that providing certain sexual materials to kids of certain age should be a felony. I hope everyone also agrees that sometime before puberty one should get appropriate sex education with approval of parents or guardians or say a judge if parents are proven to be completely unreasonable.

I see the problem of Florida law being too vague and possibly covering benign content like depiction of a kiss. But I also understand that there have been horrible abuses by teachers, like elementary school students being treated to a graphic description of a blow job. Just hope everyone understands there is more to the story than what might be claimed by one side.

Amazon must have seriously considered not only bypassing a company like Stripe but also competing with them.

I'm sure Amazon Pay or AWS Payments or whatever must have got some serious consideration. Not to mention every bank offering a direct relationship.
Florida has a booming economy. Maybe they want to preserve that over becoming "educated" like San Francisco?
There is nothing inaccurate about that statement. If it sounds emotional, it’s because it is.

I invite you to publicly speak out against the narrative and see how it feels. Nothing is more exciting than your own friends and family calling you a horrible, alt-right grandma killer and wishing an agonizing Covid death. All because you had the audacity to look at publicly available data and come to a different conclusion than “The Experts”. If anything this persons tweet is far more measured than it needs to be.
I'd take that chance, frankly. I don't assume afterlife or not, and either an afterlife or nothingness is better than a lifetime of unsolvable misery. I am not Zen, I don't think I'm able to become Zen.

> MacOS is still a second-class citizen in the Nix world and a fair amount of stuff doesn't work properly

In my experience:

With fewer nix users on macOS, it's more likely you'll run into software which isn't in the binary cache, & so will compile from source. (brew also does this).

With fewer nix users on macOS, it's may take longer for packages broken on macOS to be fixed.

It's a bit more of a hurdle to use .app programs out-of-the-box compared to brew, due to the symlinking.

I had a short period where I worked in Amazon payments. Max Bardon was the L10 or whatever above me.

Amazon likes to diversify their payment processors. They don't have one payment processor for one region because it's an availability issue for them. Cost of payments is big. So this is likely some agreement to help Amazon reduce their cost of payments, by essentially redirecting costs to the AWS side of things. India likely isn't being processed because India has regulations that most other countries do not. Adyen, Braintree, and maybe not even Stripe can be payment processors there (if they are, they're likely just a proxy for another processor).
There is a broad gulf between selling something like candy and criminalizing its possession. You need to be of-age to buy beer. Sudafed is sold OTC but with strict limits. You need a prescription to get many pharmaceuticals.

Here you have a perfectly good payments system, but between some combination of FOMO and reverse imperialism (writers like E.F.

I'd like to see some responsibility taken for this.

Fentanyl is preferred for cancer patients and end-of-life patients for a reason. Morphine is difficult to administer efficaciously at those levels of suffering, and has some very undesirable side effects (so I've been told. IANA Anesthesiologist).
Because fentanyl is way cheaper by itself. Why mix in more expensive drugs? The issue is China, full stop.

Stripe internal valuation is around $65B. I think its unlikely Amazon is going to spend that much to acquire Stripe.
There seems to be a sweet spot of about 20--40 minutes for a good information-dense presentation, and I find that most of the podcasts I find myself gravitating toward aim for this duration, though some may extend to about an hour.

Over that, and both the production is slipping and my attention wanders or is interrupted.

There's also only so much that can really be absorbed in one sitting.

I do like the interview or "issues and ideas" format, though there are also scripted monologues (Peter Adamson, History of Philosophy) which can be quite good. HoP is interesting in that it also features fairly frequent interview segments which ... on the whole are less captivating than the scripted episodes (though there are some exceptions).

Shorter than 20 minutes and there's usually too much structural framing around the key bites, over 60 minutes and either the episode is poorly-edited (there's a lot of cruft which should have been cut out) or there are multiple key concepts being presented. There are exceptions to this, but they are rare.

I'm generally not interested in hearing a multi-person ramble, even on what is otherwise a topic of interest. Panel discussions can work, though those tend to fall into either (1) a series of individual lectures or (2) a multi-party interview when they do work, and rarely work past about 3--4 participants.

If we limit it to people who are using non-prescription drugs, without judgement, this will be the Game Changer they describe.

For that set of people, stopping an accidental poisoning is much more important than potential complications with pain medication later.

Yeah, D+ is churning out an enormous volume of what would be considered prestige content at other services. All the Star Wars and Marvel shows are star-studded and larded with top-tier visual effects. And some of them aren't really getting a lot of viewers from what the rumors say.

Apple Mac Mini (2023) review: Mac Studio junior
Pretty sure the people who write these laws are way ahead of you on packing the courts with judges who agree with their positions.
I can tell you as a former employee what I think it was. Reed was a developer, and in fact made software to make other developers more productive. He still thinks with that mindset internally.

The entire culture at Netflix is built around enabling engineers to do what they think is the best thing. This in turn attracts engineers who like that kind of environment. I would gladly work with any of my former Netflix coworkers again in a heartbeat.

The way this manifests is the mantra "context not control". From Reed on down, management's job is to tell the people that work for them "this is what we want to accomplish as a company/team/group". It is then up to those people to set the agenda.

So I'd say Reed's execution is that he is great at making sure the right people get hired and the culture remains one of high performance, attracting talented engineers who want to work somewhere where making big changes is accepted.

I wasn't there for the ads rollout, but I suspect it went something like Reed saying, "The time has come for us to roll out ads, we need the extra revenue". Then everyone down the line said, "this is how our department will contribute to that". Then the engineers said, "this is what needs to change" and just made it happen and no one got in their way. They have excellent developer tools that enable rapid prototyping and deployment, so while the engineers were building the ad tools, the content team was hiring the best ad exec they could find, who was very interested in the challenge of building an ad organization from scratch, and then everyone probably got out of their way.

I say this because I was there for streaming, and it went very similarly. Reed (and the other execs) agreed that the technology had now caught up to his vision, and it was time to stream over the internet. So the engineers built it while the content team was created to start licensing content. Then some of the engineers said, "we could do this a lot faster and eventually worldwide if we hitch our wagon to this new AWS thing". And so management got out of the way and said "if that's what you think is best, we will support that". And so they started building on AWS, and hired a bunch of people who expertise in building on AWS (that was how I got in) and the rest is history. We kept hiring great engineers and saying "if we do it this way it will be a better experience for the customers" and for us internal teams, our customers were other engineers, so we made the best internal tools we could to enable developers.
They do something good on hardware side because products like https://www.rewind.ai/ are supposedly possible only on new Mac chips.

When "policy measures" include using state violence it's dishonest to not call them "'attacks' and 'assaults'".

There's just a lot of harsh facts about business out here in the real world. One of those facts is that some customers are just more trouble than they're worth. And "trouble" can be cost, or PR blowback, or your largest investor just doesn't trust the guy. Whatever it is, it's a reality you probably have to accept and deal with.
Not everyone has to work with PII but the general rule to not log your data to generic log or stack traces still applies to everyone. On top of that tools like languages or frameworks don't know what the data they're working with does so they default to the secure option of not writing data out on errors. If you know the data isn't and it's a common spot for errors you can have the data logged by tossing a try catch statement around the pain point in your code.

I feel like Nix is worth it for me at this point, but I've definitely been through some of the pain described. This is a tough critique to hear for anyone who loves the project but I agree with the core of it (except the syntax issue).

Worth reading for Nix people and prospective Nix users alike, imo.
I agree. But IME the number of "dead weight" varies heavily depending on some factors. I've definitely seen teams with >10% dead weight, because of a combo of bad hiring process, coupled with management not caring to check on them. Of course that might be a biased view: in the cases I know, the managers couldn't manage to get them back to speed, but those were managers that had failed on the hiring/day-to-day already.

My dream computer is kind of a modern-day Commodore-64. You turn the manual, physical power switch on and it is "totally booted, display on, and ready for user input" in 250ms. Single-user, single-process, single 64-bit address space, a fixed and well-documented memory map within that address space containing your RAM and also things like kernel system calls, peripheral I/O ports, character ROM, display RAM, graphics and sound interfaces, and so on. Your initial UI is simply a command-line REPL for some language (maybe Python?) so you can just start hacking right away. No "operating system" that starts 200 processes just to boot the machine. No filesystem, no memory protection, no background caches doing god-knows-what. Just your CPU doing that one thing you told it to be doing.
> Today I went to check out a colleague's branch, and noticed the standard `git` one-liner has been replaced with a `gh` one-liner: `gh pr checkout 1234`

Wait, I'm a bit confused. Where you on the "branch" or on the "pull request" UI? If they replaced the instructions to check out an arbitrary branch, I could understand the outrage. But this looks like a command to check out a pull request. To my knowledge, there is no standard git command to do this. (Because "pull requests" are a github/gitlab/etc concept not a git concept as the sibling comments explained)

If they just added instructions for the github client for things you can't do with the normal git CLI, that seems perfectly reasonable to me.

It's provocative in rats, but there's lessons from similar attempts that need to be considered. Cocaine-specific vaccines have been in development for years, and they haven't been successful. The biggest problem is that you need people to maintain an enormous concentration of antibodies against the drug so that even minute quantities are captured within seconds of entering the blood stream. Even if you can achieve an initial therapeutic levels, you need to constantly boost the vaccine to maintain high antibody titer. All of these attempts have targeted people with cocaine use disorder and are able to focus on shots every few weeks to months. We're nowhere close to developing something that would work as a routine preventative vaccination.

We do have a once a month injection of naltrexone that can block all opioids, which can be effective in the right person. A targeted approach to fentanyl alone would probably work in people who don't have an opioid use disorder (and therefore wouldn't be as prone to substitution with an alternative opioid). This is an interesting step, but our understanding of immunology is far too limited to make this realistic in the near term.
That makes an assumption.

- That Netflix has a infrastructure competitive advantage. That probably used to be true with microservices, chaos monkey, and all that. But while a big streaming platform isn't something a couple engineers throw together in a weekend, it's a pretty well understood problem. It's content that attracts subscribers.

And that content doesn't really have economies of scale. Having twice as much good content probably costs about twice as much which means you ned to charge about twice as much which doesn't offer a compelling advantage over just having two separate subscriptions.
I had Dr. Alan Paeth as a university professor for 4 years, one or two classes every semester. I tried to fit my schedule around the classes he was teaching.

When you went to his classes you really had no idea what it was going to be about. I got the sense that sometimes he would just teach whatever was on his mind that day, nevermind the syllabus. It was sometimes bizarre, often challenging, and always interesting. I learned a lot from him.

I'm sad that he has passed and sorry to see his website is no longer online, but also pleased that his legacy is living on and people other than me still think of him -- thank you!
ATT’s grandfathered mobile plans including HBO Max are a ripoff ever since they sold it to Discovery. You effectively are paying ~$15+$5 per line per month for 1 account of HBO Max compared to the current ATT plans offered to customer.

I have 6 lines on my ATT Unlimited Premium Plan (the most expensive retail plan), and the monthly cost dropped by $60 by removing HBO max and switching to the new plans.

It is probably cheaper just to buy directly at HBOMax.com

See the “new” ATT prices, all without HBO Max (couple years old now maybe?)

Yes none of this required immigration but that's besides the point when we're talking about a country absorbing immigrants.

> If we really wanted to coat every culture in amber then we would need a lot more than just immigration controls.

Following this extreme reasoning we should equally just dissolve all borders. Let's start with Japan or Switzerland perhaps? I've always thought it would be cool to live in Switzerland myself. I'm disappointed I can't retire to the Scottish countryside or to Brittany. Who are they to tell me I can't live there?

Obviously this is a non-starter, but being dismissive of others wanting to hold on to their contemporary culture is ridiculous too.
> one to populate it and one to query it

I'm not a math expert, but "populating" a set strikes me as an imperative programming mindset. In math, I understand a set more like a function returning a boolean that indicates membership. If the contents of the set change, then it's just a new set.
They are more expensive only when compared to a marginal kWh put at time of solar/wind’s convenience into the grid that is stabilised by other means (mostly fossils). Look up how much electricity went up in Texas last time the generation dropped by iirc just ~20%; solar goes to zero every night, and wind regularly dies down across Western Europe for days or even weeks. In those circumstances and without fossils to fall back to, nuclear is infinitely cheaper than solar/wind.

We can’t plan our grids or judge the costs according to not just best, but even average scenarios. We have to plan once-in-decades anomalies, the long tail. Non-dispatchable energy sources get exponentially more expensive once you start doing that.
