Like a lot of things, I think it can also be hard to remember how much effort it took to get into it.

Most anime’s pretty off-putting if you don’t know how to “read” it—you have to get used to all three of: quirks of the medium (e.g. how emotions are expressed visually, confused Engrish intro songs); cultural differences between your culture and Japan’s; and a pile of tropes that are very common in anime but less common elsewhere, which you can use as a way to understand the genre of what you’re watching and how it’s supposed to be read.

It’s why Cowboy Bebop is such a popular gateway anime: Ed aside (and even there, only sometimes) there’s minimal reliance on alien-to-Westerners visual expression, the genre is entirely familiar and uses familiar tropes and archetypes, and it’s culturally hardly any more Japanese than Blade Runner. (Plus, I mean, it’s good—but so are a bunch of others that do not work well as gateway anime)
It is not even just credit cards. There are other companies which also offer Uber credits. For instance, if you drop off your Tesla for service in the USA, they offer Uber credits instead of a loaner car since they don't have enough loaners for everyone. I can see Uber totally doing what this article claims because when I had those Uber credits from Tesla service, I was suddenly price insensitive. It was not like I was going to use Lyft when I had Uber credits that were going to expire at the end of the day. So I ordered myself Uber Black to/from the office with the credit.
This will depend on how the company is registered and represented in the states it operates in. It will also depend on the citizenship of the kidnapped owners (and whether it will be even necessary, as maybe extradition would also work).

In any case, a court in any particular state will be responsible for issuing the documents entitling the law enforcement to particular data. There's also the process to dispute issuance or legitimacy of such documents, again, through courts.

So, obviously, there isn't a single answer to your questions. But, obviously, they aren't without answer. Any specific case will produce a potentially different set of answers.
I don't think many people today would be able to propose the Michelson Morley experiment and then actually do it. It was truly heoric (and Michelson was a genius).

We did this oil/water experiment in freshman physics or chemistry lab. It was rushed, everybody just did the minimum, the teachers barely explained any of it, and then we moved on.

What do you mean by live-action anime? This reads to me as contradiction in terms. Anime is a term of art for CJK animation, especially Japanese animation.
I watch a lot of anime but I'd be surprised if we don't see a crash similar to the video game crash of '83. There is a ton of garbage being cranked out right now.

Frankly a wild take. Por qué no los dos?

I don't see there being anything about "being a decent human being" that precludes that person from also being a good doctor. Yes, "Should we excuse someone's reprehensible behavior simply for some measure of good they also do?" is an argument to be had, but there is no doubt a line there somewhere.
You can't write a nice article about it. But you can talk about it with a simple "things are going to get a loooot better". The problem with thinking about progress in functions is it suggests some underlying law exists, and there isn't one.

Even if someone could point to a function and say "10x better" by 2030 - what does that even mean in the context of an LLM for example?
This was entirely predictable and inevitable. I don't understand what Durov thought would happen nor why he rejects E2EE as a liberating technology.

This is only true if the cost of storing user data is greater than the profits it generates. When companies are allowed to sell out users and punishment for data leaks are just seen as the cost of doing business then why would you not store whatever data you can get your hands on?

The incentive is to claim to collect as little as possible. What a company actually collects is between them and any influential state actor that can manage to make use of the data in secret. A company can't support the needs of such an actor and law enforcement at the same time.
Texas Instruments has FRAM in some of their microcontrollers. It's really pleasant to use. You write to it like any other part of RAM, the only difference being that the bytes stay where they are when you lose power. With something flash you need to be more careful with how you use it.

I've always felt like the best interactive educational model for forming a good intuition on how to maximize throughput and minimize worst-case latency in a pipelined parallel dataflow system (e.g. DSPs, FPGAs, GPUs, or even distributed message-passing systems) would be some variant of the game Factorio. Specifically, one with:

1. instead of buildings, IP cores doing processing steps;

2. instead of belts, wires — which take up far less than one tile, so many can run together along one tile and many can connect to a single IP core; where each wire can move its contents at arbitrary speed (including "stopped") — but where this will have a power-use cost proportional to the wire's speed;

3. an overall goal of optimizing for rocket launches per second per power-usage watt. (Which should overall require minimizing the amount of stuff moving around across the whole base, avoiding pipeline stalls; doing as much parallel batching as possible; etc.)

(Yes, I know Shenzhen I/O exists. It's great for what it does — modelling signals and signal transformations — but it doesn't model individual packets of data as moving along wires with propagation delay, and with the potential for e.g. parallel-line interference given a bad encoding scheme, quantum tunnelling, overclocking or undervolting components, etc. I think a Factorio-variant would actually be much more flexible to implement these aspects.)

No, it really is not. It's a tech demo of moving 3 kilos in an awkward and loud manner, a task that has negative practical value.

Musk is right on this one. It wasn’t serving any real purpose to let me selectively block other people from _seeing_ my posts (but _interacting_ does make sense).

If I genuinely don’t want someone to see my posts, I just can’t put it on Twitter/X unless I have a private profile (is that still a thing?).

Otherwise, it’s a public platform, in that anyone can register with little more than an email address and see my posts. Claiming to block someone from seeing them seems like it provides a false sense of security to users.
Funny you say that, when probably some of the most memorable plot/characterization/dialog I experienced I could find in what can be considered anime.

Maybe I am just juvenile in my tastes. I just can't find a western series (and nowadays not even movies) that does the same for me.

Farmers systematically destroying NWS sensors to claim crop insurance
> What bewildered the trackers is that on many of these stormy days, those buckets were not tipping. No tipping buckets pointed toward a severe spring drought. All cumulus, no accumulation.

> That same winter and spring, weather agency field technicians started phoning in a series of repairs to Colorado and Kansas rain gauges, also unlike anything their Pueblo bosses had ever seen.

> Local farmers, authorities came to believe, were systematically destroying vital weather data in order to falsely claim millions of dollars in taxpayer-funded crop insurance, for a drought they made up.

> By the time they were done, two longtime farmers in southern Colorado were under investigation for tampering with federal installations and defrauding the government. Investigators settled criminal and civil cases against the farmers for $6.6 million in bogus insurance payouts.

In this case (web) it’s a result of too low granularity without anything that could help a developer interested in proper ui. Simply too much work to just catch up.

You can see the same in other areas. E.g. if there’s no easy way to send a request or parametrize to a query, people will invent all sorts of half assed ways to do that, even if mindful about it, due to natural pressures.

Web platform is absolutely bleeding edge graphics, but actually dogshit ui. And no one has nerve to admit it and make a change because people believe in the first part and then legacy and complexity of browsers prohibit it. And when you do it as a lib, it’s not “standard”, so nobody cares.

> factor for innovation

That's not so obvious, at least in fields not directly related to warfarce e.g. Byzantine Empire was probably the most innovative, progressive and developed state in Europe (if not the world by ~1000 AD) constant endless warfare turned it into an empty shells by the 1400s.

Extreme instability, violence etc. rarely has a positive effect. Relatively peaceful primary economic competition (perhaps with some limited warfare) between multiple states might lead to very positive outcomes, though.
Retry sequences are unlikely to be the kind that the branch prediction is that important? I'd also expect that they are larger than the threshold that is common for branches that are likely to be taken many times.

That is, the stuff that will go into a retry of something likely has far more setup than your typical hot loop.

After 2+ decades of watching anime I was struggling to find something that would interest me, I thought I got tired of it.

But then I made a scatter chart of my ratings of all 200+ anime I watched vs MAL rating and I found literally ZERO correlation! The MAL rating means nothing for my anime tastes. So now I start watching random anime starting from episode 1 and if I hate it I drop it, no bad feelings, if I don't love it by episode 3 I drop it as well. There are over 17000 anime. And finally I was able to find good anime again that I truly enjoy watching, easily 10*. I don't even read ratings or reviews beforehand as there is no correlation for me. Just pick random anime and watch.

You ask these like they are some kind of gotcha moment, but all of these very simple questions have been answered for decades by international law. You think yourself clever but show yourself ignorant.
The traits that define anime all trace back to post-WWII creative innovations intended to work around limited budgets and resources. So pound-for-pound you can maximize the amount of "hit" you get from stories, characters, emotions, etc. And by its nature its cheap and fast to make.

It's the ultimate form of mass-produced entertainment for the age of cheap, binge-able content. "Quantity has a quality all of it's own".

> to many smaller states competing against each-other, compared to the Ottoman Empire and China

Did wars really have a positive impact on that though? I don't think the 30 years war etc. had such a positive impact, rather it probably slowed down progress by quite a bit.
Following this, the next one that "eats the world" could be web novels (https://www.webnovel.com/). If I'm not mistaken, the trend was started by the Chinese authors. Chinese companies created those hyper competitive yet super lucrative platforms for the authors. Over the past 20 years, the authors truly evolved through generations of competition. They may lack of deep skills in writing world classics, but they certainly have mastered the art of creating captive stories with vast scale and scope. They also invented more genres than I can care about. Some of the stories were so intriguing that some readers on web novel resorted to Google translate to read the untranslated version -- something that I can't fathom. And it looks western authors have slowly picked up the trend, so I'm hopeful that we will see a lot more authors coming up with amazing stories.
So people know: I've chosen a highly controversial anime on purpose to prove that there's anime some people hate and other anime people love.

I personally couldn't get very far into Jobless Reincarnation. So I'm on the haters side. But in any case, the controversies of this anime are well known.

As other posters have pointed out, that is the household number. The individual number is ~300 liters per day. But, ignoring that point, even if it were 1000 extra liters per person, 1000 liters is only ~0.40$ of desalinated water.

These Americans spending 40 more cents a day, what profligacy, what waste! Why, if they scrimp and save their water, they could buy one extra Starbucks drink every 10 days. 10 days!

And that is desalinated water which massively more expensive and is completely non-viable economically compared to regular sources of water.

It should be no wonder why the average American does not have different habits with regard to water usage. There is no real freshwater crisis in wealthy countries with enough lead time to build out desalination capacity.

You could argue there is still a environmental crisis if we allocated that much additional energy to desalination, but I leave that as a separate discussion.
FWIW .NET has many alternatives to popular Rust packages. Features provided by Rayon come out of box - it's your Parallel.For/Each/Async and arr.AsParallel().Select(...), etc. Their cost is going to be different, but I consistently find TPL providing pretty fool-proof underlying heuristics to make sure even and optimal load distrbituion. Rayon is likely going to be cheaper on fine-grained work items, but for coarse grained ones there will be little to no difference.

I think the main advantages of Rust are its heavier reliance on static dispatch when e.g. writing iterator expressions (underlying type system as of .NET 8 makes them equally possible, a guest language could choose to emit ref struct closures that reference values on stack, but C# can never take a such change because it would be massively breaking, a mention goes to .NET monomorphizing struct generics in the exact same way it happens in Rust), fearless concurrency, access to a large set of tools that already serve C/C++ and confidence that LLVM is going to be much more robust against complex code, and of course deterministic memory reclamation that gives it signature low memory footprint. Rust is systems-programming-first, while C# is systems-programming-strong-second.

Other than that, C# has good support for features that allow you to write allocation-free or manual memory management reliant code. It also has direct counterpart to Rust's slice - Span<T> which transparently interoperates with both managed and unmananged memory.
It's true that Anime is a broad field, but the vast majority of works is heavily shaped by Japanese idiosyncrasies and themes, which also means that, barring singular exceptions, anime is not really something for everyone. Conversely, the non-Western storytelling, themes, and character/interaction stereotypes are what many are drawn to (but still only a small minority of the population). I therefore don't see it "eating the world" in the sense of becoming completely mainstream. It's arguably not even mainstream in Japan itself.

However, to me this is a good thing, in terms of cultural diversity. Trying to adapt anime to more mainstream tastes in the name of global profit would do it a disservice.
Steps Towards Mars
You are mixing together under anime shows which are produced in Japan from manga or from light novels with shows produced in South Korea from manhwas. They don’t have much in common. Even the art style is different. It’s a bit like mixing together European comics and American ones. It doesn’t make much sense.

>be full of arrogant showrunners that think their vision is better

Most just want to have their own take on whatever they're adapting and I think that's preferable because whether good or bad, at the very least they're adding something new.

The nostalgia and fanbase driven reproduction of the same stuff over and over adds nothing, it's just fanservice. If I want The Witcher the game I can just play the actual game, if I want GRRM I should read his books. Adaptions in which authors take liberties have much more potential to be interesting. King famously hated Kubrick's The Shining, Garland took a lot of liberties with Annihilation and Starship Troopers was straight up subversion and satire of the book and Heinlein's worldview.

Given that we're in the age of maximally non-offensive Disney and comic book adaptions that just refuse to die and with so few genuinely novel media out there to begin with, I'm in favor of people at least taking some risks with adaptions.

"AI is deepening the previously parasocial relationships we had with our favorite anime characters from passive linear media, into powerful new, interactive relationships"

One thing that troubles me about this is the idea of a human having [what they feel is a] deep, meaningful relationship with what ultimately is a bit of code and conversation history owned by a for-profit corporation. They might even experience [what they interpret as] romantic love towards this construct. This could give the controlling corporation unbelievable leverage over that person, even worse than casinos or cigarette companies, because AI companions aren't as fungible as these other highly-optimized dopamine delivery systems.

Of course, Blade Runner 2049 explored this well.
Yeah. The anime community has a lot of debate on these things. I guess it makes sense that not everyone is on the same page with regards to the eternal flame wars / arguments here.
