I agree... the way they were doing it wouldn't work.

But AMC did a similar thing just for their own cinemas. You pay $X/month (or whatever) and get free movies for the month (I think they may have had some cap on number of movies per week). And this avoids the issues you mention. Interestingly, AMC had a partnership with MoviePass at one point.

And apparently the AMC program is still running at $23/month (which is definitely more expensive than it was at launch).
It's simple. If one day we run out of people willing to work on goods for us for pittance, the price of goods we consume will rise and our quality of life will drop, because we won't be able to afford as much stuff. Right now, there are still billions in people living in poverty in countries that are friendly to capitalism (so, easy to set up a factory, a sewing sweatshop etc. there), so that risk is far from us.
A better plan would be to abandon the 2001 decimalization of the quotes and go back to base-2 fractions of dollars. Except allow the smallest quotes to be in either 1/128th or 1/256th of a dollar ($0.0078 or $0.0039).

At that point, IEEE754 floating point can start representing all quotes exactly, like they did in the old days.

This is also how things work at Google.

Google also maintains a monorepo with "forks" of all software that they use. History diverges, but is occasionally synchronized for things like security updates etc.

Yes, but I believe the post to which I was replying used "the initial attack" that Israel "failed to see coming" to refer to Hamas' October 7th attack.

Hence my reference to Hamas' likely chaffing of Israel's intel, and Israel's false-alarm fatigue, before that "surprise" attack.

Of course Hezbollah likely uses similar tactics - but if as deeply pierced as this latest attack implies, they'd have to wonder if any comm successes they thought they had were just Israel leading them on. I doubt Hezbollah has surprised Israel recently!
> CUNY Central was so eager to have a centralized MIS tool to use for its own centralizing, corporatizing agenda, that it totally ignored the implications of the Oracle "configure-only" limitation: business processes would have to be made to fit Oracle, not vice versa. Capabilities that we now have will vanish. The staff, the faculty, the students would just have to "adjust" (the technical term being "suck it up").

This is an interesting perspective. From what I've seen / heard from others, it's generally better to adapt processes to the off-the-shelf tool than to try and customize or build from scratch to accommodate your bespoke processes (especially in the business operations realms). For one, the organization is likely less unique than you think, and those bespoke processes are as often a function of some early employee's preference as it is a genuinely good reason. For another, customizing software is not just a one time cost, since every subsequent update / upgrade is likely to require additional work (or at least testing). And finally, in most cases the closer you are to a vanilla, standard process, the more likely you are to stay in compliance with local laws and regulations.

Though I suppose it's possible that the imbalance is just due to the fact that it is much harder to quantify the costs of using a suboptimal (for you) process than it is to look at the procurement contract for a custom solution.
A quick Google suggests they stopped offering it and moved to a 401k, not that they just canceled their existing obligations.

This is generally the popular move because pensions plans create huge liabilities over time because you’re promising a final outcome rather than a promised level of funding.

Hezbollah willingly joined with Hamas into a war. As far as war goes, this is just about the most precise form of targeting possible, especially in an urban area.

Tesla doesn't break out the details, but I think it's generally understood among investors that they just break even on Supercharger. Their profit comes from their cars, and the Supercharger network was a competitive advantage to get people to buy the cars.

I think they opened up the Supercharger network to ensure that the US didn't establish CCS as the standard and overtake Superchargers, such that Teslas have a competitive dis -advantage, but I don't think they're particularly thrilled to have all these other companies using their chargers.

People seem to think they're raking it in with the Superchargers, but distributing electricity is a low margin business. Same with gas stations where the money mostly comes from the convenience store part of it and such.
Wonder how long it takes the tech job market to react/recover.
>> Future GM vehicles will come with Tesla’s charging port natively installed.

This makes me happy. I worked on "standard" charging infrastructure for a while and those plugs are fv*king heavy and clunky by comparison. Also talked to an old Ford guy I worked with years ago who was involved in the standard development process - he seems content to "understand" what the politics and compromises were to the extent he couldn't look at the thing and say "this sucks". Going beyond the physical clunkiness: There is no reason to have a powerline PHY in there. None. It's stupid and costs extra and isn't even used on the high power conductors.

If the company cannot afford the pensions, the company goes bankrupt and then the government covers the pensions. If the company is bankrupt the shareholders are screwed. Companies do not make plans that involve zeroing out shareholders so I don't see what moral hazard there is.
Would that even hold up in court? Would be amazing at counteracting these unconstitutional laws. The biggest problem is that these laws are much easier to get passed then to get repealed. Because each repeal requires a long winded lawsuit that can sometime only get the law slightly altered.
> Companies like Oracle, Deloitte, McKinsey, etc. are experts at extracting large sums of money from large dysfunctional organizations.

I wonder, how do they do it? How do they sell sub-par products/services that a company arguably doesn't need at a premium price?
> Shareholders are owners by virtue of having a seat at the board table and controlling the C-Suite. […] This, shareholders are true owners of the company. But laws prevent them taking other stakeholders for a ride.

There are laws and legal precedents in multiple countries that state the shareholders are not owners:

* https://edwardslaw.ca/blog/shareholders-agreements-in-canada...

* https://www.ippr.org/articles/who-owns-a-company

* https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-instituti...

Further, directors and such have a fiduciary to the corporation and not to the shareholders:

> This separation of ownership and control provides the basis for many of the fundamental principles of corporate law. One example is the principle that the directors and officers of a corporation owe a fiduciary duty to the corporation: see Canadian Aero Service Ltd. v. O'Malley, [1974] S.C.R. 592.

* https://decisions.scc-csc.ca/scc-csc/scc-csc/en/item/699/ind...

And that stakeholders must be considered as well:

> Under the CBCA, directors have a fiduciary duty to act honestly, in good faith and in the corporation’s best interest. 2 Until a few decades ago, the corporation’s shareholders were often considered its primary beneficiaries. This shareholder-centric form of corporate governance was known as the shareholder primacy model, a model that would, theoretically, obviate managerial self-dealings. 3

> However, at the end of the last century a shift to include non-shareholder interests began to emerge. Many attribute this shift to the hostile takeover wave of the 1980s, which increased shareholder wealth efficiently but left employees scrambling for work and government institutions struggling to respond.4 The shareholder primacy model came under further scrutiny, in both Canada and the US, after the burst of the tech bubble in 2002 and the 2008 financial crisis.5

* https://www.nortonrosefulbright.com/en-ca/knowledge/publicat...

The primacy of shareholders started to become in vogue in the 1970s, and so (because of recency bias) is what is best known now, but there is a history of other philosophies before that:

* https://scholarship.law.cornell.edu/facpub/865/

And the primacy of shareholders, being thought of as the most important stakeholder, did not change the legal precedents.

People form subconscious connections to a brand.

It's hard to see why Cloudflare would put themselves in this position if they're planning to back down when the order inevitably comes in. (Perhaps Twitter somehow did this without Cloudflare's cooperation - I wouldn't put that past them trying but I'd be surprised if it were possible.)
> The „distrust“ cannot be seriously considered an objective, only if for short term. Next time they will add extra checks of incoming equipment, add random distribution and rotation of devices and problem will be solved.

That's not true; for one thing, their communications infrastructure is now completely gone. Organizing is made much more difficult. Moreover, there is no guarantee that this wasn't Israel intending to force Hezbollah to use cellular means or other means of communication that Israel has already tapped/broken, giving Israel yet another advantage.

Also, they don't know if there are other devices that are compromised, so the next days will either be tossing all battery-powered equipment they own or inspecting it all, causing disruption to their plans for battle, which means this was a massive win.

> Let’s not normalize it by such talks.

Hate to break it to you, but war is normal. People have been fighting wars since we've existed on this Earth. It's not fun to talk about, but war is war.

I look forward to one day having real peace on Earth, but we're definitely not there yet.
I agree, but there are a lot of footguns with RMQ. A great example of one is that you'll slow down your cluster by adding more RMQ servers (something that's bit us in the past). Which is a forgivable mistake as most people would expect that more cores == faster RMQ. (For RMQ, that doesn't work because Durable messages need to be replicated to the other nodes in the cluster. More nodes == more replication)

The ideal RMQ cluster has 3 servers and is dedicated to just a few apps.
Tesla actually had $1.74 billion in revenue from its charging network in 2023, Bloomberg estimates that they probably made about 10% profits from that or $174 million. They are predicting that to grow to $7.4 billion in revenue by 2030. In my neck of the woods many of the Tesla superchargers I see are empty most of the time, presumably adding 3rd party vehicles is a way for Tesla to increase it's profits on their already built out network. Of course Tesla is still adding to their network but presumably as that investment decreases and the fact that they are charging more for non-Tesla vehicles, their profits will increase. It seems like it's turned into a nice little side business.

Should, but doesn't as construed by the SCOTUS and the appeals courts below them. I think their reading of the 4th Amendment is in fact mostly right, especially as interpreted in the context of 1789. We could use an amendment to strengthen privacy, but it's hard to write such a thing considering that almost everything we do nowadays is between "somewhat public" and "public".

I mean American's seem like about the most 'bring our flaws out into public and deal with them' society I have ever interacted with. Daterape is no longer acceptable. The entire way men treat women has changed in my lifetime. How we respond to domestic violence has completely changed (we don't just ignore it). LGBT+ rights have greatly changed. Race relations have completely changed (they may need work but they are so much better than the 80s where people rampantantly used the N word at work, in social situations).

The average American is much more aware of our issues, not China's. Our own place isn't pretty bad just because we have past history nor ongoing problems. It's a matter of 'what are we doing to change and improve', and are we willing/free to bring up problems that need changing, and does our societies structure allow change? Or does society pound down those nails that dare stick out? Every society is a flawed human constructed stumbled into not intelligently/humanely designed. The American systems is the most dynamic/flexible of all the ones I have been exposed to. There are more liberal ones, but less dynamic and flexible (no free speech laws in the UK which might cause the lack of reflection that you lament). There are more conservative ones that are again less dynamic/flexible.
I will always choose properly funded universal healthcare over the US model, and my disagreement was with the claim that somehow the Canadian system wouldn't yield a reduction in resources because of some unique quality of universal/non-profit healthcare. Of course resources would be rebalanced if some part of healthcare could be done with less, and if the administration could cut budgets because a model lets them hit the same benchmarks with less, they absolutely, unequivocally will. And then they'll give themselves a fat bonus.

As to the mental health holds, here in Canada we have a problem with social workers encouraging difficult cases to consider medically assisted suicides, which is pretty disgusting. We have people dying on waiting lists. We have people having to go to the US to get basic imagining of probable cancer cases.

Universal healthcare is superior -- again assuming proper funding, which jurisdictions like Ontario are far, far short of -- but in the current state of the Canadian system, I would never imagine bragging about it online.
There are very limited options for doing business with Cuba due to the trade embargo laws the US has passed. US sanctions in general basically cut a country or organization out of the international banking system. There are limited exceptions for food etc but where are they supposed to get the money to pay for that food with the other industries being embargoed?

It's shocking the lack of credit you're extending to the decade's long embargo for doing it's job of keeping Cuba poor.
There are ton of aliases. It's "impolite" [0] to use aliases in scripts and documentation so looking at PowerShell examples is way more verbose than actually using it day to day in a REPL. Sure I could write `Set-Location` a million times a day, but I just use `cd` in the old ways. Same with `Get-ChildItem`, I tend to just use `ls` myself because of ancient habits. (I find it interesting how many have been moving to `gci` instead as the more PowerShell-native `ls` alias. I've not been convinced to do that myself, but I think it has to do with `gci` is way more powerful than most shells' `ls` and is used to navigate everything from folder structures to object structures including that its not a bad `jq` if you convert JSON files to PowerShell objects.)

[0] It's from a version of the Python ethos that code is read way more often than it is written, so when you are polishing PowerShell code to share with others you expand all the aliases so that it is easier to read.
Is there a big advantage over Redis? Just coming from the Ruby world I know Sidekiq is extremely popular as a Redis backed queue. I know there's a RabbitMQ backed queue called Sneakers that's gained a lot of popularity as well though.
