I'm currently setting up a Plex in my home to play our families "most popular" movies and I genuinely want to buy these movies, pay for them, and just have them but I can't do that so I have to pirate them.

I wonder how many others are in the same camp as me, I used to be a pirate back when I was a teenager but now I can genuinely afford this stuff and always prefer to pay versus pirate, but in the case of home movies I just can't do that.

I think the studios will be very surprised if they just opened the floodgates and let folks pay for and download movies, because I think a large chunk of us are like me, only pirating because there's no other avenue to acquire the movie.

I think service departments are actually pretty profitable for at least ICE dealerships. They certainly put the old college try into introducing you to the service manager even when you've purchased your car in a situation where you're unlikely to use that dealership for service.

My last purchase during the supply chain shortages was actually remarkably stress-free other than not being able to get the car sooner rather than later. I was paying cash. Knew there was almost certainly very little negotiating leverage on the list price. Did a bit of haggling on some "factory-installed" add-ons with a car that hadn't been built yet against my trade-in which I got IMO a good deal on.

The whole thing took me maybe an hour which is hard to complain about for a large purchase.
One of the keys is being ready and able to sever the actual purchase from the financing and the trade-in. It's when people really are stretching their financial envelope (which is common) that conflating various aspects of the transaction starts causing a lot of stress.

Of course, it also helps if you've been around the block a few times. OK, if I MUST I'll watch the stupid video about some coating product but know that the answer is no. It's annoying but no more than lots of other things.
From my understanding, super cruise only works on pre-approved roads/road sections, whereas FSD works just about anywhere. When I last checked my commute to work, the main highway I take becomes unsupported half way to work, despite it being the same bland typical highway layout.

I really don't want to buy a Tesla, but from what I can tell, nobody has anything close to what FSD offers.

> The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) gives individuals the right to ask for their data to be deleted [...].

This does not mean any data, it only means personal data as described under GDPR. Why is this the case? Because the GDPR is explicit that it only applies to personal data, that's the scope of the whole regulation. I recommend reading the text of the regulation itself, it's fairly digestible. The legal text uses "personal data" throughout to avoid the ambiguity, unfortunately many summaries do not. Article 1 of GDPR:

> 1. This Regulation lays down rules relating to the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and rules relating to the free movement of personal data.
It’s surprisingly easy to get a good shot of the Milky Way! I was blown away when I first bought a mirror less camera and stuck it on a cheap tripod. Most of the winning shots are also notable for composition and location. Deep sky shots with detail of galaxies and nebulae (anything zoomed in) require a much more complex and expensive gear, but wide angle is generally somewhat easy to capture if you have good dark skies. Just set up a 30 second exposure with settings as described here: https://kenrockwell.com/tech/how-to-photograph-the-milky-way...
Put simply, the internet is wrong.

FUAC's offer was all cash. The Onion offered less cash, but offered other incentives (AIUI, a share of whatever revenue they make from Infowars in the future). Saying that The Onion's bid was lower requires you to put a dollar value on those other incentives. The fact that the two creditors (read: victims' families) that would benefit from those incentives were willing to sacrifice some of the debt they were owed so they could benefit from those incentives suggests that at least _they_ think those incentives were worth more than the cash upfront, and the amount of debt they were willing to sacrifice gives you an implicit baseline for that dollar value.

Given the site we're on: it's like saying that an offer with a lower base salary but higher equity is automatically a worse offer than a bigger salary with no stock.
They're a huge opportunity to upsell though. Especially to people who are likely to get out of warranty work done by the dealer.
I would actually say it can only scale linearly or slower than that. Either you gain efficiency due to economies of scale, or worst case, you make 10 smaller systems.

But I still don’t see how the scaling would be worse than linear.

How is managing 300 million people more than 3 times harder than 100 million people? The effort per person shouldn’t increase, and everything common scale lower than linear.

Eu law is not enforced by what is written, but rather what the law writers intention when they worked on the law. If a person try to expand the interpretation of a law then it will be up to them to demonstrate that the expanded interpretation is what was intended.

I could make an argument that any database with my personal information is "personal data" and thus i should have a right to get the whole database sent to me, but i doubt a judge would agree. I would unlikely to be what the law writers intended.
It’s a “yes and” approach. I’ve been pursuing physical therapy and medical treatment the whole time as well.

The explanations in the injunction with regards to clients' contracts of wpengine does not read like he ever had any right to cut wpengine off. And his argument about how trademarks somehow gave him a right to ask for money from a wp hoster was never valid. I don't think he ever had a right to cut off wpengine, neither legally nor ethically. The case will be a complete loss for WordPress, and matts statements probably didn't even change that all that much, they just make the decision easier and add additional charges to lose, like the blatant extortion.

(It's thinkable to ask for money from entities accessing the plugin registry, making it a paid api. But not a fee from a company just for using a Foss software. The license doesn't allow that.)

I tried to become an anime producer – here's why I haven't succeeded (yet)
A while back, I fell in love with an unique anime. It has all features of the most cult classic titles in history, including commercial success, talented authors, loyal audience and unmatched creative level. In short, everything except one — the deserved popularity, so I decided to give it a good publicity. However, even with these near-perfect conditions, I faced serious challenges.

I'm not going to pretend that it is not an ad of sorts because it is, it is an ad for both my ambitions and my favorite anime. However, I have some personal experience and some research to share, so it should be fine, I guess? ;)

More as people who value simplicity and hackability.

Like if you use C# you obviously value structure and organization over many other things and aren't afraid of spending money, so deploying everything on your inhouse Kubernetes cluster makes perfect sense. If you use JavaScript you probably have some kind of compile step, and after deploying you need to somehow restart node anyways; Docker makes this easier and more reliable. But if you use PHP the relative advantage of Docker over rsync isn't nearly as big, but Docker adds a lot of incidental complexity.

And if you are small enough you probably want some kind of serverless hosting. With most languages that involves running a tool that creates a docker image and uploads it to that provider. PHP invented that a couple decades earlier and called it shared hosting. It's not as cool and has worse versioning, but functionally it fulfills the same purpose. It just happens to predate docker.
> So each "nextcloud" pull, will result in a pull for PHP too

I think each nextcloud build will pull the base PHP image. Ordinary pulls of nextcloud will not trigger a build but will pull the nextcloud built image. So If I built an image called "A" on top of "B" then 100 person pulled "A" then will not mean that "B" gets 100 pull. This is still one pull for "B" (assuming I did everything right from first time).
Not a billion dollars anyway.

Show HN: My Vulnerable Art
I'm an anon that's made enough to retire, relatively young.

But, I still suffer very badly from anxiety and depression (it runs deep in the family. Most of my childhood was in phyc wards with my mum).

I'm an alcoholic and a somewhat drug user, which is how I cope, along with SSRIs.

However, I have made an effort to document my highs with free-style Photoshop. It's cathartic and even when I'm sober I appreciate it, a lot. Like it was from a different person.

I am very naive about this, but is my art anything special, or is it run-of-the-mill garbage?

I'm not an artist, have no links to that world, nor am I schooled in it, so would love any feedback from anyone who is.

My site is https://heighart.com/ and it's half-built. I will build it out more with my full collection eventually, I just keep changing my mind on the UI/UX

[edit]
I failed to mention the reason I say I am able to retire, is because I don't want any monetary benefit from my work, I am NOT trying to promote it. I am just curious if anyone else will appreciate it.
Shopify: The Boring Edition
I was pretty sure someone was going to say something like that.

Musk didn't, of course. Neither did any of the cabinet members win an election for that position. Neither did any of the cabinet members or advisors of any previous administration.

But Musk being appointed is a consequence of Trump's election, just like all cabinet members, advisors, and so on for every previous administration. You elect the person, you get their crew.

So people like Musk are "taking over" from other people who did not themselves win an election, but were put in positions of power by those who did win elections.

If you're going to argue that Musk wasn't elected (and he wasn't), then you also have to note that every person that is getting replaced by a Trump appointee is also someone who wasn't elected.

I may not like the people Trump is putting in position - they, um, don't seem like A players - but this particular criticism is unfair. Trump won a democratic election; he appoints his people just like all previous administrations did.
Bankruptcy is a process to make whole the debtors - in this case the primary debtors (those representing far more than 90% of the debt) were content with the outcome. The process was approved by everyone who is a relevant party to this matter - the original owner (Jones) no longer has any say in what happens to their former assets.

Just to reiterate - the trillions number is irrelevant - it's just an initial damages claim. The judgements were for 965M and 50M - slightly over 1B in total - and the expected final award to the injured parties is likely going to be below 200k.

"people are arguing that the problem is that some people are very well off"

most people don't really care that some others are "very well off"... people care that corporations have become a massive part of the citizen's everyday lives and wellbeing, but corporations' only responsibility is to maximize profits for shareholders, and when the food is poison and the healthcare is unusable and there are greedy humans running those companies, THAT is what is pissing people off
An example of a hit movie or song that was created by committee?

This is probably related to the issue with NULL - NULL mentioned in the article.

Imagine you’re working in real mode on x86, in the compact or large memory model[1]. This means that a data pointer is basically struct{uint16_t off,seg;} encoding linear address (seg<<4)+off. This makes it annoying to have individual allocations (“objects”) >64K in size (because of the weird carries), so these models don’t allow that. (The huge model does, and it’s significantly slower.) Thus you legitimately have sizeof(size_t) == 2 but sizeof(uintptr_t) == 4 (hi Rust), and God help you if you compare or subtract pointers not within the same allocation. [Also, sizeof(void *) == 4 but sizeof(void (*)(void)) == 2 in the compact model, and the other way around in the medium model.]

Note the addressing scheme is non-bijective. The C standard is generally careful not to require the implementation to canonicalize pointers: if, say, char a[16] happens to be immediately followed by int b[8], an independently declared variable, it may well be that &a+16 (legal “one past” pointer) is {16,1} but &b is {0,2}, which refers to the exact same byte, but the compiler doesn’t have to do anything special because dereferencing &a+16 is UB (duh) and comparing (char *)(&a+16) with (char *)&b or subtracting one from the other is also UB (pointers to different objects).

The issue with NULL == NULL and also with NULL - NULL is that now the null pointer is required to be canonical, or these expressions must canonicalize their operands. I don’t know why you’d ever make an implementation that has non-canonical NULLs, but I guess the text prior to this change allowed such.

Further reading, from Richard Rhodes:

"The Making of the Atomic Bomb" (1986) The best book I ever read. Covers all of modern physics. Written in a "physics for musicians" style, and I don't mean that in a condescending way. It's praise. Besides the tech, there is lots on politics, espionage, international relations, and military history, including sections on the German, Soviet, and Japanese activities before and during WWII.

"Dark Sun: The Making of the Hydrogen Bomb" (1995) Great explanations of how the fission-fusion-fission process works, all in millionths of a second. I still can hardly believe how Rhodes is able to explain some of the most complicated technical concepts and processes in ordinary language. A truly amazing writer.

Why do you think this is relevant? (Everyone is ostensibly trying to maximise the price.)
For Nazi Germany the "fake traffic" would not be needed for all the services. Key change happened at midnight Berlin time by all operators. The radio operators stayed up late into the night sending the personal correspondence of the various officers to their families. The codebreaking process used this huge volume of messages to feed into the "cribbing" process which aided in recovering the traffic. By the time they had extracted enough of the key to decrypt traffic, normal military communications had started
The main reasoning by the judge seemed to be that a single round sealed bid process is unlikely to maximize the sale price which on it's surface seems pretty accurate.

So long as the families forgoing parts of their judgements is allowed to be part of the bids though any competing bids seem doomed, it's a big war chest they can throw around that's essentially meaningless because they'll never be able to collect it anyways.
That's a terrible analogy on several counts, but the one that hit me the first is that nobody is talking about making any ISP offer "unlimited soup". It's simply not possible to do that. The amount of data it's possible to use is always capped by the connection speed.
They didn't - it was a more modest amount that they put daily compounding interest on. The number keeps growing larger and larger by the day.
Are you saying that C compilers should change every local variable access to read and write to the stack just in case some function intentionally does weird pointer arithmetic to change their values without referring to them in the source code?
Syntax preferences are just that.

Sometimes syntax disdain can become prejudice towards the users of that language if left unchecked.

> because NULL + 0 is undefined behavior in C.

Why? It's 2024. Make it not be? Sure, some older stuff already written might no longer compile and need to be updated. Put it behind a "newer" standard flag/version or whatever.

Or is it that it can't be caught at compile time and only run time... hmm...

"Keep in mind, for this case in specific, a huge number of people did not want it solved"

I don't think it's controversial that the CEO isn't well liked, or that some (most?) people thought his death was a net good, but that's not the same as actively wanting the murder to not be solved.

Fundraise does not mean what you think it means. Asking your mom for money to make a student film is not the same as making an actual film. People raise funds for movies from investors. Investors want their money back. Nobody goes to the theater any more, so how else are they going to pay back the investors if they can't sell the product they made. This isn't Uber just burning investors cash. Why does nobody expect to get free rides from Uber, yet expect free videos?

The importance of those is a tiny fraction of the importance of CO2 emissions.

That's what I was alluding to, but it's unclear how sound of a methodology that is. It seems like a better approach would be to control for parent educational attainment directly, rather than use some imperfectly correlated metric like immigration status.

> One day someone with a bone to pick with HN and large enough pockets will test it in the courts.

One day that may happen. I hope HN prevails. I'm a EU citizen and a big proponent of GDPR. However, I also believe in the value of the commons, our shared conversations. I consider the mass deletions on one's entire history of comments to a public forum, to be a very selfish act, harmful to society. I'm very much with 'dang here: community and society at large[0] has a stake here, too. Conversations here are part of public record, they contain wealth of knowledge useful to people who find it in the future. It's not that different from Stack Exchange, really. I'd like to believe GDPR would be fine with a more surgical deletion approach, as 'dang proposes, but I guess we'll have to wait for some court to opine on it.

Possibly relevant: I consider this entitlement to have all one's contributions to public boards deleted under GDPR to be the same kind of selfish, antisocial thinking as the whining about LLMs training on one's published Internet comments without attribution (and subsequent desire to delete them, or not to publish anything again on-line). I may be weird, but I don't believe anyone is entitled to all value their labor provides in perpetuity. Society can't function when everyone tries to capture everything for themselves; it works best when people let other use some of the value freely. We need the commons.
