Looking at charts of the US gold supply it seems to have grown fairly significantly in the early 1900s up to the great depression, and seems to have been more than the 60% cited for money supply growth.
This is particularly annoying for people who've moved around in Europe. It is not unusual to live in Denmark but want to watch e.g. a French film with English subtitles, or a French film with German dubbing, but many streaming services only provide subtitles/dubbing in the film's original language plus the local language.

For some reason the EC seems to have allowed this [1], but it seems an obvious failure to create a single market.

I think it's important to know a terminal text editor if your work involves remote servers. Then once you know one of the good text editor, you may be tempted to use it for other tasks. That's where people get into trouble.

The base emacs and vim documentations are actually excellent, the problem is the plugins. Just use an IDE for IDE tasks and a text editor for text editing tasks! I'm not going to start a new project in Intellij just to edit a config file or take notes about something. Why would I want to pollute my minimal emacs config so that I get a flaky IDE?

(Of course it's fun to program in a text editor because it's fast and distraction-free, which is why I use them for hobby projects. But for professional work I use professional tools.)
I can relate to this. I get my music from Bandcamp, it is easy to get non DRM'ed files. Same for games which I buy on GoG, comes also with easy to download non DRM'ed files. I never illegally download games and music because of this.

When it comes to series though;

They are either not available anywhere legally, not in my region, only available with some streaming service subscription were the rest of the catalog doesn't interest me. Disappear from the catalog etc. etc. etc.

I might've downloaded series because of it.

Give me a service were I can legally download .mkv files and I certainly will pay for it. Right now illegally downloading it is just far superior.
Why? These are two very common commands known by every programmer and used very often, why would having short mnemonics for them be confusing?
Yeah, I figured that was extremely low. But maybe it's because content is much more easily available legally now. You can basically never run out of Netflix.

If you're asking the millennial generation however, the numbers should be near 100%.
The thing is, using a plugin like ‘surround’ Is just so nice. When you’ve chosen to use a pleasant and powerful editor, I don’t see the benefit in depriving oneself of further pleasure and power.

That's the result of "lack of neoliberalism", which is about efficient market-based solutions. Of course it turns out that just as socialism neoliberalism also tends to fall into a pathological state (regulatory capture, oligopolies, etc).

In the end these labels are pretty useless, the underlying problem is pretty easy to describe, is the system sufficiently just and cost effective or not. It doesn't really matter if it's market-based or it's done through some magic lottery system.

...

That said, services are suffering from cost disease big time. Healthcare and education badly needs productivity increases, otherwise quality has to drop to get back to sustainable funding levels.
I was a juror on a very small case. A previous trial assigned guilt. Our trial was to determine damages.
It was eye opening for me. We were not allowed to know things like medical bills and costs the victim incurred. We were forced to choose some number without having an basis for establishing the magnitude. I still don’t know if we were too high or too low.

As native speaker, I would say you have been hearing to "high spanish" most of the time.

Even I have issues understanding some regions or slang outside of the region I grew up with Spanish (Portuguese/Spanish border on Extremadura).

Just like living half of my life in DACH region, I get still get surprised by some German expressions and local dialects.

Hearing lots of native stuff helps more than Duoling that is for sure, but it isn't not having any dificulties.
SFPD won't do anything about property crimes, to include vandalism, other than to take a preliminary report, on a schedule determined by the department (eg: you call them, they show up 8-12 hours later, uninterested in taking your report). This is because, currently, their DA's office isn't going to prosecute any property crimes.

That can all change, but speculating about the nature or timing of any changes like that is well outside my area, so I'll sit and watch from a distance.

And, again, I'm not vested in any outcome here. It'll work out however it works out, and I'm 2000+ miles away from it, so it won't have much effect on my life.
I still don‘t understand how it tracks what I‘m surfing. Is it watching cache folders of Edge and Firefox?
It's not easy if you want quality. I like more obscure stuff in best res for my screen (can't stream that on average connection) and without a registration only torrent tracker it'd take a lot of time to find a dl. I'm sure I'm not in the know on this to do it best though.

And for bad quality yeah shady basic web streaming sites exists though. Keep in mind they are packed with unstoppable video ads and malware js though. I don't poke them with a 10 foot pole usually.

Not having vehicle inspections is a concept that's completely foreign to European me. It's literally letting people very lightly educated in how to operate heavy machinery operate heavy machinery that at one (long gone) point probably worked as it should.
I can’t find the videos or channel because google search is so useless these days. But I have seen some DIY drone designs that used unusual configurations. One that comes to mind was a triangle/y shaped tri rotor drone that cut power to one “arm” and basically switched modes like a tilt rotor airplane. By using the upper two motor supports as wings to generate lift it was able to fly forward with lift at one third the power… and i think they used some clever torque balancing between the arms to get a similar effect as traditional counter rotating propellers.

There’s a lot of innovation going on in DIY drone design at the moment, the challenge is actually finding it and following it as it’s all distributed across random reddits, forums, social feeds, patreon updates, and YouTube channels… I’m sure someone dedicated to following the field can probably keep on top of it but I’m more of a space nerd than an airplane nerd so i get exposure to these neat designs mostly by random chance due to lots of the various social and search algorithms lumping everything under “aerospace”.

If I’m remembering it correctly he was experimenting with the drone not having a preference for which motor support arm was “down” and having the drone control software automatically transition based on the current attitude and velocity, so he could “drop” to forward flight mode and have one arm dip, or manually fly it “over” into the mode and have it switch automatically. Seemed very clever. But while it was in “tri-rotor” mode it had similar aerodynamic properties to the X shaped wing designs due to the Y shaped wing design also having symmetry around the roll axis.
A Node CMS is not market-ready. Try to deploy Node on any cheap shared hoster - it either won't work, have a huge cold start because of Plesk, or not be offered at all. Something like Ghost is impossible to be installed on a shared hoster.

>It wasn't always like this as you remember, and that's why piracy died for a time.. you could just have one streaming service, and you're good. But people got greedy. They saw what Netflix had, and wanted it for themselves.. not realizing what that would mean

The problem is -- from the content companies' point of view -- that if there is one streaming service and multiple content creators then the steaming service will make the lion's share of the money.

So the big content companies all want to have their own streaming service.

This of course drives people back to the pirates.
Yeah, I can definitely see that. For me, the stress differential is between an unquantified problem vs a quantified problem. But with GAD, I can definitely see how the process of quantifying the problem could become its own problem! Really glad for you that you've found balance with your wife!
Back when films were distrubuted on physical reels of film, making copies of the film was very expensive. The solution was to make enough copies for the cinemas in America, and once American cinemas were done with them, move them on to other countries. Films were given internationally staggered releases in order to control distribution costs.

Once Internet advertising made marketing campaigns international, this suddenly ran into problems. Australia - usually amongst the last English-speaking countries to see Hollywood films - suddenly saw what Americans were seeing, and what they wouldn't see for the best part of a year. Many films went to DVD in America - and therefore the piracy networks - before getting to Australian cinemas.

This specific problem has been solved now that films are distributed on optical media and hard disk drives, but torrenting remains very popular in Australia.

When we talk of protecting copyright holders, the film studios are often blamed. However, this distribution system was set up by a network of separate distribution companies. A century ago, they provided the solution to a genuine logistical problem; now, they seek rent for solving a problem that no longer exists.
I thought "She" seemed odd too. I suspected it might be a sort of acronym or code-word, and when I started reading the article, that's what I was looking for an explanation of.
I know people debate whether it's really "stealing" but my opinion is that if you won't pay then just don't watch. I don't care if I'm downvoted for this but people do not have a right to listen to music or watch movies.

People seem to be united in their condemnation of wage theft where businesses don't pay their workers properly. And most people think restaurants should pay their waiters properly instead of relying on tips. I just think it's really analogous that if an artist makes some content then you should pay them for it.

(And don't complain to me about the corrupt film or music industry. It's a simple moral choice by the individual)
It doesn't take a lot of effort to research potential predator/competitors for seagulls and then hold trials on what works. There's a lot of options, and if the gang doesn't seem intimidated by your choice of predators, invent one.

It hooks browser requests/responses and saves responses as-is under a key based on the request. It can then replay the original response.

Has been done multiple times before, the model is cumbersome / hard to manage, has plenty of annoying edge cases where it completely fails and doesn't work well with streaming audio/video.
That’s bananas. Self reported data is garbage.
I would imagine this means everyone has watched pirated content. Not everyone is comfortable navigating a piracy site, but everyone knows someone who knows how to do it, and I've never run into anyone who has a problem with watching a pirated movie, anywhere.

Tbh it's often easier to find what you want in pirated form than streaming. Your services might have taken off the thing you want to watch, or you might not have the service that has the thing you want.
My contract wasn't renewed; technically it's not really "getting fired", although it doesn't really make that much of a difference in reality. Even if there was a wrongful dismissal case here, I wouldn't want to pursue it – the headache and stress just isn't worth it.
Like the peer comment, I think music will be fine. It’s cheap and you can get most mainstream music on most services.

With TV and movies it’s highly fragmented. So I think people just don’t sign up to certain services, chop and change services, or resort to piracy. Or possibly the younger generations put the time into YouTube & TikTok.

No, not the same volume, a volume. Each container can mount an arbitrary amout of volumes. It scales as well as your machine scales.

A container is nothing but a process with restrictions on which filesystem subtrees kt can see, what resources (CPU, memory) it may use and which networks it can access, with some tooling to manage self-contained images of directory structures.

Around the turn of the century my family went from dialup to cable. It felt like a waste to not use all the bandwidth all the time. I had a surplus server running Windows 2000 and Kazaa, Limewire, and maybe more. I think I missed Napster. That was a completely normal thing among all my IT literate friends. My rig was kinda anemic. A buddy of mine had four 250gb hard drives. A whole ~terabyte~ of storage. And a liquid cooled AMD. I put a mod chip in my Xbox and brought it to school where we watched (pirated) Monty Python in English class.

All this to say it was normalized in the US. I don't think it is stigmatized even today. More like we had about a decade of streaming services actually providing good value. But now the product managers and UX designers have their hooks so deep in it that it's becoming unusable.
It's unfair to need another license.

Distribution costs are a thing also via the Internet, so while they're close to zero per movie it still makes sense to have to pay. However, there is no mechanism to prove you have a license, so in that sense I see your point
A very good point. In a sense, the industry has been stealing from customers all along by selling the same 'rights' over and over, just in different formats.
In the scene where Data and Troi are asking the Computer to identify these terms, it's established that the same word can have numerous different meanings throughout the Galaxy:

TROI: Computer, search for the term Darmok in all linguistic databases for this sector.

COMPUTER: Searching. Darmok is the name of a seventh dynasty emperor on Kanda Four. A mytho-historical hunter on Shantil Three. A colony on Malindi Seven. A frozen dessert on Tazna Five. A

TROI: Stop search. Computer, how many entries are there for Darmok?

COMPUTER: Forty seven.

...

DATA: Freeze. Computer, search for the term Tanagra. All databases.

COMPUTER: Searching. Tanagra. The ruling family on Gallos Two. A ceremonial drink on Lerishi Four. An island-continent on Shantil Three

The discussion of how much artists are actually getting from this has been going on since forever. Plenty of Swedish artists have publically stated that they receive either "practically nothing" or "literally nothing" and that the only ones who appear to benefit are the "fat cats" at the top of the association collecting the fees rather than the artists.
Those motorway strips were all over the place in Geany during the Cold War. Most, if not all, got built back since. The idea of operating modern milizary aircraft from ad-hoc and improbvised airfields is nothing new. Easier to do with s/vtols so, added bonus for aircraft being carrier rated.
I love the lathe project [1], I recall looking at it quite seriously when I was younger. Inspired by this site, I welded up a crucible and setup to cast aluminum using charcoal in the bottom half of an old pot belly stove, with a hand dryer reused as a blower for heat. I did manage to melt some scrap, but I didn't have a mold ready that time. My diy flasks weren't great, and I lost interest while trying to get some green sand. I would like to try again though

The fee is for legal copying. Let's say you've bought a DVD and want a copy for your family vacation home. You can make a copy of that legally. That's what the fee covers.

Something I've never done and will probably never do. I also don't know of anyone who ever has. The fee should completely go away in the age of streaming services, but I doubt rights holders agree.

> I guess I should point out these kind of insults are against the site guidelines.

It's not an insult. It's a clear reference to the fact that your source does not support your claim, and it actually rejects it.

> You are quoting the lowest value in each range, you need to consider the entire range:

I'm actually not. If you read the source you cited, you'll notice that they provide a range of values for their estimates of what would be the levelized cost for energy from multiple sources.

The observed real world cases fall within the whole range. This means that they report real world examples of residential rooftop PV panels costing well below alternatives such as Nuclear.

If your thesis was that residential rooftop PV panels were the most expensive source of energy, your own reference refutes your baseless claim. You have to intentionally ignore all the cheapest real world examples of PV installations to proceed to argue they are the most expensive.

If you insist in arguing about statistical nonsense such as "I can find a PV panel that is both terribly expensive and generates no energy at all" then go right ahead, but cherrypicking that as your absolute reference would be disingenuous.

> Yes that is why there is a range.

The range does not exist so that people could lie and misrepresent the data. If the range covers examples of residential PV panels generating cheaper energy than nuclear or even gas, you should not discard them either because you either failed to read the data or tried to misrepresent it.

I think there still is a price scaling based on regional purchasing power. No doubt that people in Denmark have much more dispensable income on average, but for students and low-income households renting a movie online is a luxury

That's if you can find a place where you can actually get it. As an example, a few years ago a study showed that Denmark had the second most expensive Netflix subscriptions, yet was second to last in the content available

Then there's a whole issue of localisation. Many of my foreign friends have had to ask for refunds when renting movies, because only Nordic subtitles were available for them
