> do people even think at all?

No, they don't. Man is smart, people are dumb.

That said, actors get paid because they employ good negotiators. RDJ took a huge risk pinning a great deal of his career on the Marvel movies back when it was a very niche movie, much like Sir Alec Guinness did with Star Wars. That said, some of the amounts entertainers make is absurd - top athletes make stupid money too, but at least their prime earning years are significantly shorter than actors or musicians.

Entertainers also make a ton because the people paying them also make a ton, and those people can afford to lobby for IP protection (see: Disney) and utilize "creative" accounting strategies such as Hollywood Accounting and collectively, we don't do anything to combat such blatant fraud, because it keeps the circuses coming, and politicians cannot disrupt the bread, nor the circuses, unless they wish to get voted out.
There's a reason they said "ownership", not "responsibility".
While there's "full ownership" meme but at least they make things clear:

* How many are going to be fired.

* When will employee know they are fired.

* Severance package.

No amount of thought and prayer are going to help, straight to the point.
My theory is that this is completely due to the raising cost of housing - it's no longer easy (possible?) do make due in Berlin on that kind of job long-term.
"As the world moved from physical film to digital photography, or from land lines to wireless communication, or from DVD rentals to streaming, opportunity and disruption went hand-in-hand. Companies that embraced a new reality and took decisive action did well. Companies that held onto the past or tried to have it all did not.

These transitions are never easy, but I’m determined to ensure that Dropbox is at the forefront of the AI era, just as we were at the forefront of the shift to mobile and the cloud"

Key takeaway, CEO thinks shift to AI is as consequential to his business as the shift from landlines to cell phones Et al.

There is value in that. One thing is tradition and one thing is media or history. I agree that traditions and culture should advance but by means of creating new things not overwritting existing ones.

The Wire would not be the wire without the accent, manerisms including slurs, drugs and police brutality.

Dazed & Confused would not be the same without the 70s issues and fortunes but you have the show Skins replacing those with the 2000 "revisions" or Euphoria with the 2020 ones. There is no need to rewrite any of those.

It could be argued that in movies like Blade Runner the rapey scene of Deckard and Rachel does not add anything to the story or characters. Ignoring the technical difficulty of changing those scenes without altering the story narrative or the character morals and flaws at the end of the day is a product of it's time with it's flaws.

In this case it was designed that way on purpose although I consider the reasons weak and it could have been done better if that was the intent. It doesn't help that the actress did not enjoy making the scene. https://youtu.be/vIdlYzbugT8?t=261

It can also be interpreted as Deckard being a lowlife scum that purposely rapes Rachel taking advantage of the fact that she is being hunted, he is the only one who is going to protect her and she knows it.

In this case maybe not you or me would care if the scene was rewritten but I'm sure someone trying to study older movies, a director or Harrison Ford cuestionable love scenes would if only the rewritten movie had survived.

If remakes add something to the table it's the ability to reimagine stories in a less flawed way by our standards without deleting the past.

TLDR; rewriting media is very nuanced and we should take the easy way out of remaking it or creating new stuff instead.
IMO there's a lot to be said for a well done knob. It sticks out, so is easy to find with your hand without having to search. As long as you don't have so many that it can be ambiguous. I'm a fan of the climate knobs on my F250, which for example turn the temperature up and down incrementally, but it has a momentary switch at the end of the travel so you can just spin it until it hits that, then spin just a little more against the switch and it'll turn the entire climate system in max heating or max cooling.

I remember the first time everyone decided we should have buttons for volume instead of knobs. Thankfully that lesson was learned. Now we do the same for touchscreens. They have their moments, but knobs and well-designed buttons are not replaceable with a touchscreen. No matter how much haptic feedback it might have.
Like many pieces of modern internet culture, this image has been detached from its real source and context, and propagated memetically through the various social media platforms.
Eugenics and communism were both seen as progressive at the time, at least by their supporters. The conservative take on communism was we should preserve the existing order, that the progressives wanted to disrupt and replace.

The article about the actual people the anglo saxons does reinforce their point though.

> The history of the Anglo-Saxons is the history of a cultural identity. It developed from divergent groups in association with the people's adoption of Christianity and was integral to the founding of various kingdoms.

> Catherine Hills summarised the views of many modern scholars in her observation that attitudes towards Anglo-Saxons, and hence the interpretation of their culture and history, have been "more contingent on contemporary political and religious theology as on any kind of evidence."

> During the Victorian era, writers such as Robert Knox, James Anthony Froude, Charles Kingsley and Edward A. Freeman used the term Anglo-Saxon to justify colonialistic imperialism, claiming that Anglo-Saxon heritage was superior to those held by colonised peoples, which justified efforts to "civilise" them.

This happens to computer games as well.

>Poker Night at the Inventory was delisted from Steam on May 23rd, 2019. Although Telltale did not offer the same kind of explanation that they did regarding Poker Night 2, the game was likely delisted due to expired licensing of one or more of the properties featured in the game.
> IPv6 is less complex than IPv4.

In my experience, that depends highly on what you want to accomplish. For example, tell me how much less complex it is to inform a device on the network of what the address of the NTP server is in IPv6 compared to the IPv4 address. Assume you rely entirely on SLAAC, because that's the preferred way, or so they said.

> So you are a network engineer, but you just don’t want to move with the times?

I don't call myself a baker just because I can make a loaf of bread, but I then I've never been one to over-inflate my CV...

It's not like I don't want to move with the times, but I find IPv6 quite complex and rough around the edges in practice, especially for a homelab network.

Somehow, despite all the incorrect opinions and unsanctioned thoughts, we still get by.
For me, the following is a bit that seems particularly prone to be invalidated, even more so considering that the author doesn't present any proof of it:

> Here, we notice that if we had one more span, <v3 , v4 , v5 >, for example, it would be connected to <v1 , v2 , v3 >, but not overlapped with <v1 , v2 , v3 >. Being aware of this difference is important since the overlapped spans imply the consecutive ‘’s, just like <v1, v1, v2> and <v1, v2, v3>, which correspond to two consecutive ‘’s: (c2 , ) and (c3 , ). Therefore, the overlapped spans exhibit some kind of transitivity. That is, if s1 and s2 are two overlapped spans, the s1 ∪ s2 must be a new, but bigger span. Applying this operation to all the spans over a p-path, we will get a ’transitive closure’ of overlapped spans.

Those talks inspired far more than Clojure itself. It sort of started this movement toward simplicity as a value.
> In an ideal world, we’d simply shift people from one team to another. And we’ve done that wherever possible. However, our next stage of growth requires a different mix of skill sets, particularly in AI and early-stage product development. We’ve been bringing in great talent in these areas over the last couple years and we'll need even more.

Imagine building a company that lets users store files online, seeing chatgpt released, and then laying off 16% of your company to.. use ai to store files better? I really don’t see how new ai capabilities lead to big layoffs and new opportunities for Dropbox.
I actually enjoy Dropbox - for a flat fee of ~€10/month I get 2TB of cloud space plus the synchronization across unlimited devices. I don't mind the telemetry thing, at least not too much.

However, their approach to Android is absolutely ridiculous. There is no files or folders synchronization - at least not at the OS level, like in Windows or Linux. If I need to access my Dropbox files on an Android device, the only way is to do it via the Dropbox app, and it is clunky. The biggest pain point is that I cannot use 3rd party apps to open a folder in my Dropbox storage - I can open a single file, fine, but for example Obsidian is out of reach as it requires opening an entire folder, which is currently not possible.

(I can create an offline copy of the folder on the device and open that one but it defies the purpose of having a sophisticated synchronization software).

So I think at some point I will start investigating alternatives.
GPS return to home/fail safe modes has been a feature of most fpv drone firmware for quite a while. Betaflight, iNav etc .. All support that as long as you have a GPS (+ compass) module installed.

The only thing avata brings is some beginner friendly flight modes for a premium. Kind of like Apple products.

You also have a lot of ready to fly/bind and fly options (buy a radio separately and bind it to your quad and fly) out there these days..
> rewritten in light of the morality of those with power. Case in point: the Bible

Wait, are you saying that the bible itself has been rewritten (in terms of actual substance)? I was always under the impression that a lot of care was taken to preserve the original meaning of the underlying text, taking into account that it was written thousands of years ago in a language nobody fully understands anymore.
Someone (forget who but he worked there) was giving a presentation of Datomics in some downtown (NYC) bank circa 2014 iirc. Per the presenter -- iirc someone asked a specific technical question -- even people working for the company don't get to see the full source. Only a small team has access to the full source, and he said he wasn't one of them.

Many of those journals don't take P=NP proofs because they often come from quacks. Also, I wouldn't be surprised to see the start of a full proof coming from a non-theorist. Theorists have failed to make headway on P=NP for decades, so it would be reasonable to assume that some insight from a different place would be required.
Yeah also note that 335kb of wasm isn't as bad as 335kb of javascript.

Its true that large javascript bundles are bad because big files take longer to download. But the arguably larger problem is that parsing javascript is really slow. This isn't as big an issue with wasm - the browser can parse wasm many times faster than it parses javascript. If I recall correctly, wasm parsing speed is about on par with the speed of parsing pngs.

So having 335kb of wasm is similar to having a 335kb image on your landing page. Its not ideal, but its not a showstopper.
I was recently asked to recommend a language for a new team. My boss (who won't be writing or even reading any of the code) suggested Python. His reasoning: it's what the kids are learning in college these days.

So here I am as the team Senior, looking at current and future team members and deciding on whether to be selfish and choose what's good for me, or trying to figure out what makes something good for the team. Is it better to pick something with a large hiring pool? Is it better to pick something with fewer footguns? Is it better to pick something with higher performance? Is C# really ok if we need Mac support? Is Swift ok for one-off glue apps that run on Linux? Is Zig too young? If a team of five has a Java geek, a Rust zealot, a C# fan, and somebody who only knows Python, can we just agree to all learn and use Go? If I know my replacement will undo whatever I choose, does it really matter?

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex

I thought you were going to mention how there are more male embryos than female embryos created since males have a higher death rate. Why is sex the only category in which we have to constantly qualify ourselves with regard to birth defects? Someone who's talking about how the three types of cones work to create color vision doesn't have to constantly harken back to how some people are color-blind, despite that population being an order of magnitude larger than intersex individuals.

Nothing wrong with that at all. But that's not what was said.

I really like Clojure and the ideas behind Datomic but free without source is a trap, every time. They have to make money somehow, but they already sold to a bank. If that bank wants devs willing to work on their systems after the current generation moves on, I think they'd be better off going open source and to continue paying good devs to work on it. Everyone already knows lock-in is bad for businesses. Devs will seek non-proprietary solutions first, if they can't find it, there are already plenty of proven proprietary solutions they'll settle on way before Datomic. Open the source, sell the support.

A fair question I have, I think, is are these new Dune movies any good?

I always felt it would be best as a limited series so there was more time to expand on the characters / story / world and that movie runtimes - even though they're getting longer - just aren't a good medium for complex stories like this that rely on heavy background and backstory

HBO paved the way for high value high production series, seems like a more natural fit to a complex story like Dune
