How many times do we have to say it. It's not about paying. People are happy to pay. It's what you get for the money. It's about the experience.

Go on amazon prime and see what you get for your monthly flat fee. Half the movies you actually want to watch cost extra. Netflix is showing ads now. You have to pay for half a dozen services to get access to all the content you want. Content disappears all the time.

Here's the fundamental problem: people want to stream movies and shows on the internet. But the providers want video on demand cable TV channels. So that's what they're building. From a technical perspective they're the same. From a user experience perspective these are completely different things. From a business perspective, it seems, only the latter is viable. And so they push, and slowly a new reality is born, one where Redbox and Hallmark Channel have a better user experience than streaming services.

The free alternative is I search torrents-csv for a movie, click it and start watching. And if I want I never lose access, just like if I had a DVD. I don't watch all that much TV or movies these days, but I can clearly see what the problems are here, and the entrenched industry leaders either are too detached to see it, or they're trying to pretend it's something else because they don't have a viable business model.
... one, perhaps more constructive, comment:

On most days it seems worthwhile to outright skip the majority of discussion and use the site for browsing the links posted only ;)
I doubt any traces would exist at the mask level if that were the case. The decoding is just a 3-bit field in the ModR/M, there have "always" been CR{1,5,6,7} in the encoding, but those don't take transistors to recognize; you only decode what you want to connect.

But the theory sounds totally plausible: they'd have written up the ISA spec long before they started designing the circuits. So if CR1 got dropped early all the existing designs would still be targetting 0/2/3 explicitly.

But FWIW: the "why wasn't it ever used" question is easier to answer: the window was extremely short. The MOVCR instructions only supported 8 32 bit registers, and when the Pentium shipped that was already too small and all future CPU state extensions were done using the new CPUID and MSR mechanisms.

I was in this boat back in 2017, and a lawyer working with my FAANG company advised me off the record that our best bet was to visit the USA, and suddenly have a surge of loving feelings and spontaneously get married in a tiny impromptu ceremony. Then apply for a change of status while in the USA.

I probably should have listened to her.. I did it the "right" way since I wanted to quit that job anyway. Got married abroad and filed an I-130. It took like 18 months to get it, it was nuts. I'm a native-born US citizen and my wife is from Japan, no criminal records or anything, and I was making 3-5x the national median household income this whole time, so it's not like there was anything tricky about our case.

I'd recommend you just talk to a lawyer. I hired a lawyer for our case, and it was about $3k total. It would've been entirely doable without the lawyer's help, but it was easier that way and I helped fund her charity work where she helps refugees and domestic abuse victims.
Buying something, rewriting it, and abandoning it, is just squandering money. You can't change that reality by praising Google's way of doing things.
Gaza the place could certainly be. Whether it would ever be allowed to (given certain factions of said democracy’s government, including the currently presiding party) with the current population still remaining there is sadly debatable…

> we would need to cover useful land with solar panels

About the land area of New Mexico, if we went 100% solar [1]. Remove current hydroelectric, potential geothermal and then mix in wind and nuclear, and you have a realistic mix that could replace fossil fuels.

> the brain spends months sorting out that neuron pathway

Yup: but unfortunately, this is one of those things that seems to have a "critical period". (We know this because of experiments on poor defenceless kittens. Thanks, science! (But, I mean, it's decades later and it's got actual medical applications now, and we don't have to re-run the experiments because the results were all written down, so… maybe we should actually thank science for this one.))
A monarch is technically a boss (authority), so I don't see the problem here.
They would probably ship a specialized model trained provide specific answers on device and offload to remote for more general answers. Probably not a full Llama or Falcon.

Their latest keyboard autocomplete for instance is a GPT-2 model.
I think it's likely that Ticketmaster operates differently in Norway. What you describe sounds reasonable, but what Ticketmaster does in the United States is simply ridiculous.
You could probably get similar results by doing nothing.

College, for all its trumpeting about better outcomes, has shown no actual change in the financial success of the population. Incomes have held stagnant the entire time.

Thiel's experiment really just goes to reiterate what we already knew: That successful people are born that way.
Well, the parentheses don't necessarily have to be perfect on the paper :) I can fix them once it's on a computer.

That said, some manual tricks that could help: my former colleague had a simple trick of counting up with his fingers for open-parens, and then back down for close-parens.

I could also imagine using more line breaks and indentation to help keep the parens straight. It might be ugly, but on paper that formatting is only to support my thinking, it does not also need to cater to the committed source code.
> However, nobody actually pays the amount that gets billed to the insurance company...

While mostly true, the system always strikes me as insane when I see the amounts billed to my insurer alongside the amounts "allowed" or paid by my insurer (or paid by me until we hit the deductible). I'm talking about the negotiated rates, I guess, not even co-pays. I regularly see things like $8,889 billed and $149 "allowed."
I really hate most of these fontLigatures. They just confuse me, many of the character combination I never even used in the languages I code in. And others look so different that I would be afraid to not know what they actually are.

Some seem useful but is seems I can not pick them individually and have to commit to an entire group of them. The symbol for </> (something I never used anyway) looks like the absolute worst to me, like how is that better? And especially of you do rarely or never used it you get forced into this shit if you like other things from that group and enable it.

Turning two == into one long one, NO! I think people just overthink it, it becomes confusing and not more readable.
Thank you, I'll definitely give it a shot.
Epic gives away a game (or two) every Thursday, often older AAA titles. I have over 100 games on EGS and don’t know if I’ve ever made a purchase there.
CEO pay is just a small part of the picture indeed. How much cash have execs wasted on pet projects like Netflix Games?

As a customer, I might be okay with paying more if there was a transparent effort to cut expenses and a renewed focus on their core business.

> For a phone with a mission like the Fairphone, the headphone jack will not become less pervasive

I'm not sure what this means. The oal of Fairphone is to be environmentally friendly and modular. A headphone jack being absent or present isn't directly related to either of those things.

> An audio standard that has existed for over 100 years will not vanish in 5

I mean, how long ago did Apple first announce they would be dropping it? Many other phones, tablets and laptops have also dropped it. It decidedly is vanishing, at least from consumer electronics.

> If you look at other phones with a good IP rating, they can come with a headphone jack and be fine.

Because they made different compromises than Fairphone had to.

> Given how big the phone already is, and how small phones with the headphone jack are and have been, I do not believe this

Why would they lie?

> I believe that it made their job easier and changing nothing else, it would have made the phone bigger. I refuse to believe there was no alternative method to fit it in.

I mean, they were pretty detailed in their reasoning, and you can look at their schematics online. I don't think they could have included it without making the phone chunkier and less competitive.

> which makes this claim not trustworthy, regardless the different source.

That doesn't track. Someone lie about it once so no one making the claim can be trusted? I'd say Fairphone are being pretty open and trustworthy so far.

If the value is Copy, you will make a copy and won’t take ownership, right? (Iterate over a vector of ints). Granted Rust structs are not Copy by default.

Same with any C++ class for which there is no copy constructor.
I think the consensus among contemporary historians is that it was not an accepted custom among Christians.

Also, that one source mentions it (I have no idea what that says, when it is from, what is the context etc. - I’m also no historian myself so an English translation would not necessarily help) it doesn’t mean it’s true, otherwise we would have to believe that Pegasus existed… or the myth of Salamanca’s council.

Update: ah, I found the English translation. Indeed, by reading it like this I see what you mean, but I have no idea when, where and in what context it’s been written, whether it talks about a widespread thing, etc.

Well told story. Thanks for sharing.

There is a lot to unpack and a lot of comments I could make, but the main one is that you had that chance at your current prison to both have access to resources to better your chances, to even get good employment and to not deal with basic street survival in prison. I think more prisons should offer this. There is a balance obviously some will abuse it but they should be offering an environment for people to “correct”.

The “conservative” and “progressive” politics should both want this. This reduces crime, reduces cost for government, increases tax revenue, and is humane.
>Nuclear energy is so economically inefficient

They're only economically inefficient when you ignore the costs of burning fossil fuels. Would you rather spend a couple (tens of) billion on a nuclear power plant, or face global starvation?

Everything looks expensive when you externalize the cost of status quo.

Sure there's an argument:

Information wants to be free. Copyright is abusive. Broad fair use rights, especially for transformative purposes, is all-important for the future.

The costs of enforcing limits are higher than the benefits of letting AIs have an equivalent 'right to read' as humans.

Not everything that's 'valuable' can or should be 'owned' & locked behind fidgety statutory permissions.

Whereas in America, I can park across the lines without a ticket.

In large store parking lots like a lumberyard, my truck doesn't quite fit in a normal space. So I park out a ways, with the other trucks, each taking 1.25 spots.

Those that have a trailer have to park it somewhere, so end up using maybe a half-dozen spots across.

A simple thought experiment: how many spaces can a pickup truck take, if you park the most eggregiously you can? I figure, 6, straddling the center line assuming parallel rows facing each other.

I don’t think free games are much of a draw once you have a stable and disposable income. Maybe all the jobless school kids and skint college kids of today will grow up to be EGS loyalists but the platform itself doesn’t do much to be ‘sticky’ when you start spending money.

Most people I know have hundred game deep steam backlogs from the endless sales.
I am getting conflicting opinions on this, so I will ask. My company has filed a 485 for me (currently on H1) and my wife is a dependent. My wife is currently on O1 and her company wants to file a separate 485 for her (with me as dependent) for backup. But my company's attorneys are telling me that's not recommended and it's better to withdraw one before filing another. Is that so or can 2 485s be filed?
Two points:

1) I think you underestimate how bad a rodent problem can get, and how quickly.

2) Healthy cats are decent groomers, and also flea magnets. Fleas go to them preferentially. If the cat isn't a lap cat and doesn't sleep on your bed, it's going to be doing most of the interacting with fleas while you relax in your mouse-free study.
Yeah what you were recommended lets you kind of "jump the line" (for fiance visas, which take forever), and as long as you consult a lawyer and approach it sensibly it's pretty much risk free.

An application launcher adding like 20 billion CPU instructions of overhead to every application's launch is just incompetence. And on macOS it's 34 seconds.

It's really Microsoft/Apple's fault. Their app stores come pre-installed and start apps 10 or 100 times faster, yet Steam is able to exist because you can install across operating systems, it has an identity that works across games, the sales, faster and better game discovery, and the achievements (for the people that works on).

Yeah I think what you are identifying is also definitely wrong. But what I am saying holds.

You don’t think, for example, that most people would think it’s a bad idea to write software to facilitate showing teenagers unattainable and more desirable versions of them selves?
The bar exam using an abstract system (that may not really exist in reality) vs specific state law systems seems just fine, as long as the people smart enough to pass recognize that. I suspect they are.

But the bar also tests quite a bit about the concept of liability, the essentials of contract, constitutional law, intent, and I'm sure a bunch of other topics. Are those of so little value that it's worth ditching? Is 1/3rd of a working year (675 hours) enough to cover all those topics? What if the attorney is an estate planner? Or a litigator? It would seem this risks making the minimum experience of a given lawyer potentially more lopsided.

I have worked for enough IoT and whitelabeled tech companies to know spying is normally never a plan from the start.

It is the lack of planning to prevent it that is years later branded as a feature to sell when company leadership looking to boost numbers or build political capitol start talking to law enforcement. Often after an acquisition or two.

I personally know a release engineer that was required to quietly send all new code changes to an NSA ftp server, presumably to make sure none of the bugs they rely on were fixed.

If something is in popular use and -can- collect data covertly, it will be co-opted to do so by someone for power or money without fail.

> The formula works best in the treatment of monitored materials of which the source is known. First point to note is the character of the source. There are several choices on this: the true source (who really got it out?) and the ostensible source (whose name is signed to it?); also, the first-use source (who used it the first time?) and the second-use source (who claims merely to be using it as a quotation?). Take the statement: "Harry said to me, he said, 'I never told anybody that Al's wife was a retired strip-teaser.' Mind you, I don't pretend to believe Harry, but that's what he said, all right." What are the possible true sources for the statement of fact or libel concerning Al's unnamed wife? What are the alternatives on ostensible sources? First use? Second use? The common sense needed to analyze this statement is of the same order as the process involved in analyzing the statement: "Reliable sources in Paris state that the visit of the American labor delegation has produced sensational repercussions in Moscow, and that Moscow, upon the basis of the American attitude, is determined to press for unification of the entire German labor movement."

Well in their video demo they got the nutrition information completely wrong, so clearly the tech isn’t capable of doing that even in a controlled environment.
I thought that was what is meant by the “dark ages”? Basically from the fall of the western Roman Empire until about the carolingian empire. So 400-800 ish. And the name works because we have so much less written evidence about politics in Western Europe during that time, so it is in a sense “dark” to us now.

I am not a historian tho
Yes but for now we're still emitting so much that we're effectively only reducing emissions. There's no real point until there are no more emissions to cut which is much easier and energy-efficient to do than capturing.
