> Amazon is still mostly an online store (small exception with AWS, but that was charcoal[0])

What? I would express the opposite of this sentiment. Amazon is mostly AWS. Their online store's profit pales in comparison to AWS.

https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/07/07/aws-chief-says-ama...

> Amazon overall generated $24.8 billion in operating profits in 2021, and AWS was responsible for $18.5 billion (or 74%) of it. Basically, a business segment that contributes 14% of overall revenue is generating roughly three-quarters of Amazon's total operating profits.
I've used on-board audio a few times, but it's rough.

The only case that comes to mind where it was really successful IMO is if you're using an FPV quad to chase a vehicle: race cars, dirt bikes, monster trucks, etc. All of those things are loud enough that they're clearly audible over the prop and wind noise. If anything, for dynamic chase footage, the sound of the quad's motors spinning up adds interest.

Otherwise, you're not going to hear anything worthwhile from the air.
No. It takes the president signing it after Congress passes it.

So if I understand correctly, McCarthy wants to pass a bill to raise the limit (along with some other stuff), and the president says he'll veto it (because of the other stuff). Who do you blame for that?

And if your answer is "Congress", do you blame Congress all the other times they pass bills with "some other stuff" in them? If not, why do you blame them this time?

Count me in as among those who actively does want Mastodon to be the new Twitter.

Its becoming increasingly clear to me that a hugely scaled microblogging platform is important (if not essential) to world discourse and democracy, and that a federated platform is probably the long term best, if not easiest, way to do it.

Honestly, the bit that kind of baffles me is the extent to which big companies don't seem to realize that this solves potential "Eli Lilly" problems. This shouldn't be too hard to explain either.

"Hey, you know how you can own your email and your website? You can do that too with something like twitter if everyone starts using Mastodon. You should throw some money at a server to do that."

It's many orders of magnitude easier to afford a $100,000,000 home if you make $10,000 per year than if you only make $1 per year.

But you're never going to afford that home either way.

> Are you making a good faith comment?

You have posed this as a question. My answer is yes. But perhaps you don't really mean it as a question, and instead mean it to solicit others to flag my comment to silence my point of view. Is that the case? If so, then logicalmonster was right.

I have spent the past 15 years working in tech in an American west coast city, I have personally known several transgender people in professional and social contexts, and encountered many more. I have also known or encountered innumerable cisgendered men and women. From these experiences, I have concluded that cisgender men are more dangerous than cisgender women, more quick to anger, more prone to aggressive posturing and certainly more prone to physical assault. Do you doubt these observations as well? Will you allow me the ability to conclude anything from my personal experiences, or do you demand that I perform rigorous scientific studies to conclude anything of this sort? I am telling you, in good faith, that it has been my personal observation that I should be wary of cisgendered men and transwomen. Because although both are usually not violent, both exhibit a predilection for aggression that significantly exceeds what I have come to expect from cisgendered women and transmen.

Windows Media Center is truly dead and all the TV-focused/Roku-competitive parts of the Xbox One were turned off years ago in OS changes. (Many were turned off only months after that sad launch. Some of them were great features and there is reason to lament their loss in the massive turnaround.) The Series S/X successor consoles have never had any of those parts of the OS and the above comment that this "Xbox One living room debacle" being "recent" feels outdated at best.

Microsoft seems to have given up on the living room entirely outside of gaming ambitions.
It is the Clichy's one. It's not that dug into, where did you get that from? (Used to work there circa 2010). I think the water retention made its way to the battery rooms. No recent floods (nor rain) in Paris (nor most of france) lately.

I think it's too soon to reach any conclusions. Yes, Germany is shedding it's base load generation. Yes, so far that hasn't been a problem and Germany still has excess power to sell to France at peak market pricing. Let's at least get through a nasty Summer and a nasty Winter before we declare success.

I really hope Germany is successful and proves to be the model for the rest of the industrialized nations. But we don't have enough evidence yet to call this a success.

On that subject, I really like what Josh Whedon did with Buffy's season 4 ending episode, "Restless", where the big bad was defeated on the penultimate episode, while the last episode serves more as an introspection on each character's fear.

Per Josh Whedon commentary [1]:

"This was one of the years where I was pretty convinced we would actually be picked up for another year, so we left a lot of things hanging. But at the same time I always felt if this was the last episode we ever filmed, it would be a good last one because it really did just get us into the minds of our characters, whom I love very much, and let them just sort of exist."

To succeed they had to make streaming video easier than torrenting it, and cheap enough to attract the casual torrenter.

And like every company, v1 was run by the founders that understood their customer base.

Of course, we're at v2, with legions of sales, accounts and advertising execs, and layers of management whose performance and pay is based solely on company performance.

The other thing that Netflix dropped the ball on was the Spotify-esque "1 site to rule them all". There's now Disney+, Paramount+, Hulu, HBO, in the UK, BBC, ITV, E4, Sky, and so on. Movie + TV companies have always fought each other in a way that record companies never did, but both their products are just bits down a wire in 2023.

Competition is coming at them from all sides.

I know that they get precise viewing figures for their series, but cancelling some of them is just baffling. No more chance of "Growing The Beard" for shows given the crowded marketplace.

I cancelled a year or so ago after they cancelled some of the programmes I used to watch. The only thing left on Netflix for me is Stranger Things and that's not enough to keep me.
This is task for paid educators and not free youtube channels. The problem here is that educators do not make their content available for free online.

I don't blame them. Educators are in a perpetual cat-and-mouse game with their students to avoid cheating. However, in an era with Chat-GPT (and even before), cheaters can always cheat if they want to cheat. If a teacher decides to teach calculus using 3B1B's videos as reference, then they should make associated assignments available for other educators to use.

There is no field better suited for opensource than education, yet tribal knowledge remains either inaccessible or under-utilized. It's a shame. And no, "online courses" are not a substitute for real coursework. Watered-down wish-fulfillment QTEs is all they are most of the time. There are some excellent online courses (MIT OCW, NPTEL), but they're the exception. And even then, online courses have yet to replicate the essential support of a human educator or peers in learning.

I look forward to seeing schools that fully construct a curriculum around curating the best internet resources, with the teacher being there more so 'conduct / direct' rather than getting their hands dirty figuring out how to optimally teach the same thing every teacher has taught for the last 100 years. It has the advantage of reducing teacher overhead and improving the quality of teaching. win-win.

I've been a falconer for a couple of decades and in general try to keep up with the research around birds of prey. The general consensus is only about 10% of birds of prey survive the first year. It doesn't surprise me that the survival rate for most other birds is equally as bad. I've been out in the field a number of times in the winter and found wild birds of prey that were so weak they couldn't fly and you could just walk up to them and pick them up. In every one of these cases the birds were skin and bones, starving to death. Nature can be brutal.

If the only consequence for burglary were that the government forcibly took back what you stole and returned it to its rightful owner, then I'd say that's basically making burglary legal too.

Oh you paid online? We charge a $36k "convenience fee" for online payments.
In defending their power to do that the state has made an argument which seems convincing that they maybe ought to be permitted to hold-back legitimate and reasonable costs associated with the sale, but I don’t think has made a convincing case that they can just keep whatever excess value there is without there being a takings clause violation. I expect them to lose hard on this.
> WTF? You have some internal "better rates" that you don't give me up front?

They might have complicated contracts with re-sellers that prohibits them from advertising the cheaper rate. That's why you should always ask for a discount with every purchase.
It's utterly immoral to allow people to own land. Land is a unique asset that belongs to society and letting anyone think otherwise was a massive mistake. The government allows people to enter into perpetual leases, but that's it. Private ownership is useful as an incentive to create things. Land isn't created so it can't be owned.
How else do you propose the local government recoups the cost for making sure you get all the benefits that come with living in a society?
As a US citizen, I'm forced to agree.

Misleading editorialized title. The actual title is "Stanford, Harvard revise high school math curriculum recommendations, exclude data science"
In most cases for „der Bruder“, the answer is yes: the plural is „die Brüder“.

But in the dative (Dativ) case where the "brothers" are an indirect object, the plural form has a different spelling. The singular „den Bruder“ transforms into „den Brüdern“. For example, if you want to say "I gave it to the brothers," you can say: „Ich habe es den Brüdern gegeben“.

To figure out the plural forms, I use the online Leo dictionary (e.g. at https://dict.leo.org/german-english/bruder), which often includes a table icon for indicating when the noun endings change in other cases.

For studying plural forms of any noun, you can follow general rules for pluralization and individually memorize the plural forms of each noun with flashcards. You can also read and listen to native content to develop an intuition for what sounds right.
Seriously. It doesn't matter that scooby doo is different or the little mermaid is different or that any thing is different.

What matters is that we have ONLY REMAKES and REMIXES and REHASHES instead of new content. Woke or not, I just want to see something original instead of dug up oldies.

I learned in this thread that apparently there's a remake of Perry Mason? Did that need to be a thing??
Cherrypicking one quarter to make your point is pretty desperate and still irrelevant. When the case started it was less than 50%. Now what?

A textbook monopoly price antitrust case involves people who are virtually the only player, or a combination of almost all or all of the players.

And the court found that they didn't do anything with whatever marketshare they had and this is obvious to people who were paying attention. What about consoles? They are even more locked down than phones, yet the Internet seems to have a lot less to say about that, even though it's been that way for decades.

You can think Apple is a bad company. You can think they are too big. But you can't just wish the antitrust laws to be completely unworkable to punish them. That's the not the rule of law. That's the rule of "I don't like them."

It took a while, but I think I found the PDF of the book I was talking about [0].

> fundamentally you are making an ad hominem argument, effectively saying, "this guy is a crackpot, why should we listen to him?"

Kinda, not really. I'm saying that if my recollection is correct this guy has expressed wild ideas before that were also ignored by the physics community and therefore it is worth viewing his works with suspicion because we are not qualified to evaluate it, but people who are have apparently decided it wasn't worth much.

> It doesn't matter who he is. One must examine the assertions and findings detailed in his lecture, and only if flaws can be found there can his tidal theory explaining galaxy rotation curves be defeated.

Sure, admittedly. So, why aren't any physicists giving this idea the time of day?

As I was pretty clear about in my post, I do not consider myself (nor you) qualified to assess his work in anything more than an armchair manner. The fact that his ideas don't seem to be something other physicists take seriously is something of an indicator that maybe I shouldn't either.

> Mayer's explanation for galaxy rotation curves is simple, elegant, and compelling, and it is interesting that no one at HN wants to take it head on

Because we are not physicists, as I assume you aren't either. Go to a forum full of physicists if you want a real assessment of its worth. We, being not physicists ourselves, can only judge its merit by proxy and intuition. The latter of those is especially dubious and especially prone to liking simple, elegant, compelling, and utterly wrong ideas.

> but instead will employ the all too common hand wave and other fallacious arguments. Look at it. Figure out why it is wrong or don't.

Strong words for someone who's response to all of this is "watch the video and you'll understand". Hand wave indeed.

No, this isn't really true, once you interact with another homeserver Mastodon starts slurping up content from it to fill the third tab on the home screen with content.

The users it finds aren't necessarily ones you've interacted with -- I know from running single server instances

I stopped running an instance because of this functionality. I was running Mastodon on my home Internet and quickly became concerned about the image content it was downloading from users I hadn't interacted with, while I wasn't monitoring the server

There is a LOT of lolicon content on the Fediverse and NOTHING is worth the risk of running a server that might download material that's considered to be CSAM to my local computer while it is unsupervised

So you have to worry about both the quantity of content it downloads and what that content is

As an admin: no thanks.
> If you have to pay taxes on property do you really own that property?

A different way of looking at this is that I'm letting you own a piece of land within my borders and in exchange I'm asking you pay a tax on it and if that isn't agreeable find a different settlement.
It's justs big statistical model. Statistics say that 75% of paralegals are woman and 40% of lawyers are man.

It's completely valid to assume that in 'paralegal married a lawyer because she was pregnant' the lawyer is a man.

That's not a negative gender bias but rather a good educated guess, is it not?

It's not like the model would say that woman can not be lawyers.

The claim is "on average, those with college degrees out-earn those without college degrees."

No it's not: instead it's the prescriptive advice that high school graduates should go to college. But if you follow up one of the references:

"However, when we look at wages for the 25th percentile of college graduates, the picture is not quite so rosy. In fact, there is almost no difference in the wages for this percentile ranking of college graduates and the median wage for high school graduates throughout the entire period. This means that the wages for a sizable share of college graduates below the 25th percentile are actually less than the wages earned by a typical worker with a high school diploma."

I'm a big fan of Singapore math. The countries that score top in the world on primary math education use it. In basically every research study that has been done, it works. 3/4 of my children were lucky enough to go to a school that taught it, and it worked well for them.

Unfortunately the US approach has been to throw out every research study suggesting it might work, while failing to fund better studies. See https://ies.ed.gov/ncee/wwc/Docs/InterventionReports/wwc_sin.... Behind this is that fact that the educational establishment makes a ton of money off of rewriting textbooks and retraining teachers for each reform wave. The hasty changes are guaranteed to lead to disaster, which motivates the NEXT reform wave, which they then also profit on. My mother became a school teacher in the 1950s, and this cycle was ALREADY in progress back then. (Think Sputnik leads to New Math leads to Why Johnny Can't Add, etc.)

Switching to already existing books for an approach that actually will work would be a disaster for the education establishment. And so we'll never do it. No matter how embarrassing our regular (but profitable for the education establishment) disasters are.

I complain about this occasionally. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13822577 for a more general complaint, and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34634210 for a rant about the Common Core disaster specificially.
