These types of comments completely justify Netflix’s actions, in my mind.
I completely agree with your points but you seem to be missing the point which is: why does OpenPGP's versatility make it a bad candidate?
It’s possible that is meant to be read somewhat sarcastically or humorously.

Explaining a painfully obvious joke destroys the joke, even when it was painfully obvious in the first place.
Absolutely. It is the thing that actually matters.
At the time when image viewers used to change screen palette, resolution and color depth just to show a picture, and decoding compressed images came with a progress bar attached, people regularly did want to get dithered black and white or 16- and 256-color images from better and bigger sources. Desktops only became True Color when VRAM started to be measured in megabytes, and there was no point in storing or transferring enormous files to use as illustrations or wallpapers. I remembered an artifact from the palette color era, shareware application called “Graphic Workshop” (GWS) with extensive dithering options, and found it among conveniently emulated software on archive.org.

It would be great to load other files instead of example images. In fact, archive.org stores virtual file system changes on client, and files remain available across sessions, but there seems to be no way to interact with those virtual Dosbox mounts, or to transfer any data except for typing it.

Presumably, but if half your customers pay you just above your costs and the other half pays half that, which half is responsible for your business going bankrupt? Probably both, but one half is clearly more of an issue than the other.
I've seen a lot of assertions that the rhetoric and agenda online or on social media exist from those places in isolation, and "don't reflect the real world". The problem with this line of thinking is that the majority of humans with access to the internet in 2023 use the information they acquire online as a means to build their real-world beliefs and values. This idea that social media/online doesn't reflect the real world isn't true; it has made our present-day beliefs of the real-world, and has seeped out of the monitor and into our individual psyches and collective consciousness.
It would be more understandable if their founding CEO wasn't on record saying that they were happy to have people share their accounts, especially with their kids.
The US is freakishly large. I've lived all over it and driven across it from west to east several times.

I grew up 2 hours outside of Appalachia, and couple that with the other places I've seen I feel safe in my belief that the US has large swaths of sparsely populated regions.

It's no surprise that these hospitals are at risk of closing. There are few people there and fewer new people coming in, causing the cost of labor to explode. For example, there's a shortage of new blood entering the workforce compared to retiring boomers:

https://www.populationpyramid.net/united-states-of-america/2...

This leads to labor shortages especially in rural areas because the few young people are fleeing to urban environments to find work and a not-shrinking economy a la Japan & Tokyo. Here's a document referring specifically to some east coast regions, but there is likely one for your local region out there somewhere: https://www.richmondfed.org/publications/research/econ_focus...

Here's a document on Japan and Tokyo's situation:

It sucks that these hospitals are closing but this is what the decline of a region looks like. The labor costs are only going to get worse as time goes on because if you want nice things you have to convince people to hang out there and make it nice. The growing costs of labor will shut down hospitals and prevent the opening of new ones. It was easy to justify the construction of such things when the population of the USA almost doubled between 1970 and today. Now? Not so much:

Widespread immigration into these areas would help alleviate these issues, as would policy decisions that favor the industries that used to exist in them that drew people there in the first place.
Not all of us are enterprise customers with enterprise budgets. There is no middle option. It starts at 3675 annually per instance. That’s more than the price of most of my servers
RedHat provided an entire platform that you pay support for... including supporting nginx.
How can nginx (the company) replicate the same thing?

Pay for the features you want. You will be better off for it.
Expecting every company to follow the RedHat model is unsustainable.
That's how I treat all streaming services nowadays. With the fractured landscape it's kind of the only way to handle it now.
That's not actually pick three. It's that if you have uncompetitive markets (and therefore high rents/inefficiency), you end up with worse wages, loss of US jobs and high prices. Because then the price companies can charge is no longer tied to their labor cost, so they can cut labor costs without lowering prices.

This is clearly what's happened and needs fixing, but even after that, you still have a trade off between high-paying US jobs and low consumer prices.

But the answer to that one isn't as obvious because it isn't linear. In a competitive market, competition with labor in other countries might cause you to get paid $1000/year less, but lower your cost of living by $2000/year.
The Grass Valley Group's late 1980s real-time digital video effects system, the Kaleidoscope, used quaternions for orientation of 2D planes in 3D space (Cartesian) to avoid gimbal lock although it also offered Euler angles for animation of multiple rotations.

With kids and parents, what may very well happen is that the parents start subsidizing kids' individual accounts while they're already in school. It's not like the few extra bucks a month is meaningful compared to the low 5 figure sum it takes to send a kid away to college.

> But it overall seems much nicer than running node/js or python on the server side, no?

No, it's just trade-offs.

I think you are making the same mistake by looking for validation on HN that you're making some sort of Better Choice, but you're just making a normal choice. You just don't yet have the experience to see all the trade-offs nor how they compare to, say, Node or Python.

For example, there are various ways Node is "nicer" than Go on the server. Just compare things like Promise.all or a concurrency-limited Promise.map to Go's WaitGroups.
> What are the customers going to do, buy someone else's car that also has a terrible touch screen from the same manufacturer?

Well, what I do (not only because of this, but those touch screens certainly contribute) is to not buy new cars.
It's a great story that I loved reading, but I'm skeptical by nature:

Has there ever been any other recorded witness to this story? Obviously there was at least 3 other pilots and an air traffic controller, but I imagine there were more people on frequency at the time.

Additionally, can ATC equipment even depict that speed? For example, modern U.S. ATC equipment will not indicate the altitude of anything above FL600.

I remember there being a reddit comment that had quite a few upvotes debunking the story, but I can't remember what their reasons were.
Personally I'd buy whatever car I want and add a radio if I cared that much. I'm not so single issue I would force a limitation on myself like that. But then having grown up in the USA from the 70s to now I love cars way more than I love AM radio.
That's the issue with doing one FOSS version + one paid version, some things will be gated behind the paid version and probably never end up in the FOSS one, as it drives people to purchase the paid version.

In this particular case, the ngx_http_api module offers way more monitoring options but is gated behind nginx Plus.
That is actually a very good question. I know people who literally do this, though not only moving "households" every few months, but moving countries.

On hacker news, well-adjusted, highly-educated, able to think for myself, found healthy outlets for "rebellion", and I have healthy relationship with my parents that feels more like friendship than dictatorship.

I put off adding TLS certs to my personal website for years. It's just a few static files served by nginx on a server - there wasn't a great reason to bother, I thought.

It took me almost exactly 3 minutes start to finish with letsencypt. Where 'start' was "I should stop putting that off" and typing "letsencrypt.com" into a browser, and 'finish' was nginx serving up https:// on all my domains. I'm genuinely curious what nginx could possibly do to improve the situation there.
Pretty much everything from the technique to the details were pretty far off the mark. It was pretty cringeworthy to watch.

> Nvidia owns the AI development game because they own the datacenter.

Eh I only half agree with this. Nvidia owns AI development because they own the datacenter and a large fraction of PCs. Kids playing games grow up learning CUDA on their PCs, then can professionally test stuff on them without having to rent a costly cloud instance just for debugging and experimentation. Hence many datacenter-only AI companies have failed. Others with extremely competitive silicon (like Cerebras) are alive but spinning their wheels without much traction.

Llama, and stable diffusion in particular, are pretty slow on CPU. It works, but I would say its not very usable. And this is a problem that will get worse, not better.

If Apple sicked more engineers on making random contributions to community efforts (instead of doing everything in secret because they are Apple) IMO they could have a very strong consumer inference/finetuning presence without any datacenter presence. Nvidia/AMD do this to some extent, though not as much as they should either.
Sounds interesting, but are there more examples? The videos on twitter show almost no changes from the input voice to the generated output.

Thank you for such a succinct explanation of the RDF model of graphs. I have developed applications with cypher and neo4j, and skipped gremlin and even graphql because I found the RDF schema descriptions too complicated to bother with. Nodes and relationships seemed sufficient, but that everything as an implied digraph here makes it clearer. My note thanking you is a multiple of the length of your explanation, which is a pretty good measure!
nuts, I have a little app that relies on it. It is still working atm and returning results from a few seconds ago but that sucks.

I was also always baffled how pushshift API is so superior to the Reddit API. AFAIK it is running for ~$1k/mo.

Locking down APIs like this could lead to way more scrapers which is expensive for everyone involved. I guess the number of people who know how to hit an API endpoint is way higher than the number who can setup a Selenium type scraper that runs JS and circumvents protections.

But Bill Gates' behavior isn't excused. You keep bringing up people's bad behavior as if it should be tolerated. It isn't. You might, but as I've pointed repeatedly, you are actually rather toxic and don't seem to represent the norm at all.

OP admitted to a prima facie legally actionable sexual discrimination case. You are here defending them as it being the way things are. It isn't. That's why it's agains the law. You seem to not have gotten the memo. I'm here to remind you, apparently.
A 'tribal' approach is not my intention, it was a reaction to the clear tribalism in your initial post. Your point on obgyns is well taken and in that specific instance you can point to a pretty clear cause and effect- Local laws are hostile to certain segment of healthcare workers so they don't want to stay- fair enough. But thats just one small segment of healthcare workers, and the financial issues in the article we are discussing don't seem to be related to that specific point. More broadly, what I take issue with is this attitude of "If you don't support universal healthcare you don't deserve healthcare' that seems so pervasive. It's an extremely complex issue and there are many rational reasons to oppose universal healthcare. Some like myself do not have a moral or philosophical issue with the policy, but instead are concerned that the current system is a tangled web of cronyism and cartels, and socializing a system like that will only exacerbate healthcare costs as a whole since the bad actors will only become more entrenched. Does that position make me unworthy of having a functioning hospital in my area?
If you're using Netflix through a browser, they wouldn't have access to the SSID.
I used to subscribe ALL of the streaming services (Netflix, HBO Max, tv+, Paramount+, Disney+, Hulu etc.) but cancelled all of them because it was getting too much choices on too shallow content. Now I rely on PBS (Passport that comes with my monthly donation), YouTube and Peacock (comes free with Xfinity wifi) and if I like a movie I could just rent it. This is working out well for me.
Should have shared passwords, at least you could trade a Netflix for a Hulu or whatever.

Apple TV is $6.99 a month. Netflix looks to be $9.99 (ignoring the ad-subsidized offering which isn’t really comparable). It is kind of hard to share an Apple TV login (at least I wasn’t able to figure out how to share it without also sharing my whole Apple account), so I guess that extra $3 must be the price of all the sharing going on.

Although, Apple TV seems to have much better in-house shows, so who knows?

Hello, I'm an aspiring entrepreneur looking to validate my idea focused on privately syncing your personal events to your work calendar so that your teammates do not schedule meetings when you have personal events booked already.
The initial solution would involve a website where you can connect your personal and work calendars (Google/Outlook) and then setup syncs between different calendars. Then it would synchronize all events from a calendar to another while making those events private. It also would synchronize new events as they come up and delete events that were deleted from the original calendar.

I'm currently trying to guage how much of a problem this is in people's lives, as such I'd greatly appreciate your input on a brief survey. Thank you for your time and valuable feedback!

I'm mostly just speaking of calling the US system archaic compared to Europe's post-WWII, because for the most part the US system wouldn't be how it is until 1943 which most would consider post WWII.

In other words, I don't think it's the age that's the problem. It's that most European countries don't mind as much having their national government run things while the US tends to push more federalistic/distributed systems.

In fact, I doubt most people in 1942 would have even thought about the federal government's ability to regulate healthcare. Wickard v. Filburn was decided in November, which is the case that really opened the interstate commerce clause. Heart of Atlanta Motel v. US wouldn't happen until 1964, only then finally allowing federal laws to prevent restaurants from discriminating racially. If the federal government can't even set standards for restaurants it's rather hard to argue they have the ability to regulate hospitals and healthcare that happens inside a state.
Medicare wouldn't get founded until 1965, it's not a bit coincidence this happened after SC decisions widening the interstate commerce clause.

The powers of the federal government looked extremely different in 1942 than they do today.
Additionally, the Metal Gear Solid Main Theme is reportedly not available anymore because of debious copyright battles with a russian composer, which led to MGS4 having the Love Theme instead.

We should stop wasting water in general. The biggest easy win in the US now looks to me like ending our obsession with green lawns. Switch to xeriscaping and re-wilding in general.

In this same spirit, I happen to be building a sci-fi post-apocalyptic "comedy" adventure game [SB: see below] whose goal is to educate as much as it is to entertain. We take as a premise that humanity fails to take the kinds of big bold urgent action needed to prevent the worst of climate change's dystopic upheavals from happening. Water becomes much harder to come by, for billions. (Imagine like in the film Mad Max Fury Road.) Even while other areas go underwater or experience more frequent or more extreme monsoons or flooding.

Therefore everyone becomes massively more careful about water. More respectful.

Because they must.

Hey! How come we gave that guy a discount?
I'm not the target audience, but reading the comments made me curious so I watched the videos and the examples were disappointing. They all require more steps than my current workflow and it has to go through some third-party server to achieve it.

I do not think this is necessarily the case. Their population is ageing rapidly, with due consequences for the company between citizens and the CCP. Internal tendons between the rich coastal regions, attracting all the labor, and the hollowed out interior could cause issues.

I don't think their ascendancy is necessity assured.
Congrats on launching. The pricing is bit tricky. Like it moves from Free to $299 pretty quickly. And then there are lot of tiers with very subtle distinctions for teams at that size.

I help lot of founders/startups to build and scale products and operations. I am always on look out for such api first headless CMS or backend services like appwrite, firebase and supabase. I think you will have to relook into the pricing here as the climb is very steep
This only affects password sharers.
I think they were making a thinly-veiled reference to torrenting (because for a long time the only legit use case for torrenting was Linux images?) but I'm not sure
I was probably ~3 years delayed in cancelling Netflix based on actually using it. I started maintaining a watchlist of what I actually want to watch instead of constantly searching/cross-referencing through what is new or currently available on these interfaces designed to hide how little good new content is actually there. Eventually I found out there wasn't really that much I was actually interested in on the services anymore and, for what there was, I came the conclusion pirating was once again the better option in terms of availability, quality, and user experience.

Barring returning to piracy, I think I'd still have cancelled but sometimes subscribed for a month on the rare occasion something like The Queen's Gambit (2020) came out then cancel for a few years again.

Yeah that's a good point. OTOH all the U-He stuff is already ARM native for macOS.

But my point about the iPad was more about comparing the cost. If Ableton had chosen to sell the computer part at a more reasonable price (say $300) I would't have even mentioned it.

Just look at the point you made!

This is exactly what right wing media talks about constantly. Not about Gebru, but that someone like Gebru is where she is not because of merit. Your point is completely baseless and my dismissal of it isn't shallow.

Where do you suspect your point, that I quoted above, comes from? Does it come from your own personal experience? Studies and statistics? Or somewhere else? My point is that it's baseless and comes from right wing media. We are all biased based on what we read and hear. Points made without anything to back them are shallow, not those critiquing them.
