But they aren't just using their earnings. They are borrowing too.

No, they didn't state in the article the evidence because it has been handed over to the authorities to deal with. It is now an active investigation.

We should give it to Taiwan. That would piss China off nicely. /sarcasm

They have survived the internet revolution where other businesses have been disrupted. No startup is even close to chipping away their collective control. So they are empowered to do as they please.
dustinmoorenet | 7 years ago | on: Marie Kondo's Advice Praised by Scientists: “Clutter Is Not a Good Thing”
I think you are confusing what the article means by clutter. You don't keep things in the third room that are unnecessary. It is just that spending time organizing them in a system that would appear visually de-cluttered would be a waste of time. Your third room might eventually need to be cleaned out once your cache gets full of things that, for one reason or another, you don't need anymore.
dustinmoorenet | 7 years ago | on: Windows file access performance compared to Linux
The issue seems to be with how Windows handles file system operations. They allow filters to operate over each request. These filters are like hardware drivers in that they are created and maintained by third parties. So, MS has no real ability to change how things work because they don't have absolute control in the same way that Linux does over the operations (Linux device drivers are part of the kernel)
dustinmoorenet | 7 years ago | on: Netflix using fake Twitter accounts to promote new movie
I watched the movie last night and it was good for what it is. I wonder if Netflix wanted to jump start something they genuinely thought was good but was being buried by all the other things they are offering. Maybe they thought the ends justify the means if their costumers are entertained.

You look around the table and see if anybody is currently serving themselves. If not you rotate a little ways. There is usually someone else who wants it turned. Since most of the meal is spent grazing and serving small amounts, the table really never stops turning.
dustinmoorenet | 7 years ago | on: The automation charade
The article mentions that reality of more-output-less-jobs by stating that the workers are required to work harder, because the boss threatens automation if they don't. It is the fauxtomation (the author's word) that is scaring the workers to produce more.
I guess the point of view is leftist because it takes into account the worker's welfare. That doesn't seem like a bad side to be on...
dustinmoorenet | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: What's the largest amount of bad code you have ever seen work?
I use to work on hospital lab software.
* It was over 20 years old by the time I started
* It was written in Fortran
* Variable names were single and double digits
* Each fortran program would run in isolation but had a shared memory process
* It was formally a terminal program but a weird Java frontend was created so everything looked like Windows GUI
* All program names were four letter acronyms
* All data was stored in fixed width binary "flat" files
* It previously was under CVS version control, but each install slowly drifted apart, so each site had it own unique features and bugs.
* I once had to move a significant feature from one install to another using only patch files generated from the work done on the original install.

We need open source hardware designs that can be built locally (where ever your local might be). This black box hardware crap has to stop. Smart people who know how all this works need to dump all their knowledge in to a design and a process. Trade secrets are keeping us not only limited in choices but exposed to bad actors who can control a link in the supply chain.

You still have to put up plaster board (basically drywall) first before you float the surface with plaster. I can't imagine plasterers are putting up plaster slats in stud walls anymore.

The Vietnam War: A film by Ken Burns & Lynn Novick
I watch it on Netflix. It is an even handed look of the war from both sides. It was so good. Be prepared to get angry and to cry.
dustinmoorenet | 7 years ago | on: Google Suppresses Memo Revealing Plans to Closely Track Search Users in China
Isn't it nice how we can have TV shows that point out the problems in the US while also being filmed, financed and distributed within the US. John Oliver would have been deported if he did the same in China.
dustinmoorenet | 7 years ago | on: Google Suppresses Memo Revealing Plans to Closely Track Search Users in China
Because Google doesn't come to your house, take you in for questioning and then pressuring you into confessing that you did something wrong which disturbed civil order.

The 11 in 9/11 is the day. September, 11 2001. I guess, in retrospect, we should have included the year in that.
dustinmoorenet | 7 years ago | on: Hi-Vision Laserdisc – HD in ‘93 [video]
He's not an engineer that I know of so his videos lean on the history side more, and I am fine with that. The context he puts into his videos really helps you understand the "whys" of the tech.
dustinmoorenet | 7 years ago | on: Disney's movie dominance has a dark side, independent theatre warns
I don't mean to be glib, but is there a positive side? I mean, I know it is positive to the share holders, but what benefit does Mega-Disney have for the regular person? Regular-Disney got us the 95 year copyright, so the public doesn't need any more Disney power.
dustinmoorenet | 7 years ago | on: Reasons not to use Netflix
Isn't it terrible that the best we can hope from the larger organisms is they don't harm us in the process of their daily activities.
I give this criticism knowing full well I pay for it and profit from it.
Holding ourselves and the best among us to higher standards does more than deriding the worst.
