They use AWS for everything except content delivery which is handled by their Open Connect content delivery system that they built and operate. https://openconnect.netflix.com/en/

Just because one technique has been lost doesn't mean there are no others.

Some people are really attached to their gas stoves. I have seen this setup in western Massachusettes where gas-lines are not available.

It asks you if you want to opt-out the default is enabled.

> But what do we do? […] We do not merely do nothing to get rid of the conditions in which such people are born – we actually encourage the institutions which produce them. We all know what these institutions are: the mills, the factories, the workshops, the inns, the pot-houses, the brothels. And far from wiping out establishments of this sort – considering them necessary, we encourage and regulate them.

Would the world really have less crime if we didn't have factories and inns? Agrarianism is so alien to modern life I can hardly imagine it being a dominant philosophy.

> The title "docent" is not widely used outside the United States, with the terms "guide", "facilitator", or "educator" preferred.

It may be sent to microsoft if a direct connection cannot be established between the liveshare clients (due to firewall/nat issues). In that case microsoft's servers act as a relay for both clients and therefore your code would be sent to microsoft owned servers. This relay feature can be disabled. More information available here. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/liveshare/refe...

You might be correct, but that still leaves the Chinese middle class which is about the same size as the entire population of the United States.

I'm on waterfox. Mozilla lost my trust when they started installing advertising extensions without user permission.

Certain rights not being fully applicable != No rights

Didn't they play the most key role of all? They paid everyone who works at the company to do what they do.

This isn't how it works in the United States at least. The police are allowed to lie to you, your lawyer, the media, anyone they want to, as long as they are not under oath. They may be held civilly liable for lies that cause damages but only after overcoming their qualified immunity. Lieing to the court even when not under oath could lead to a contempt change.

Don't throw out realism so easily. Ending the quest for answers by invoking mysticism is very easy for people to do but its never the right answer. https://www.lesswrong.com/s/5uZQHpecjn7955faL/p/6i3zToomS86o...

Its worse than that, the only part of a DMCA notice that is made under penalty of perjury is that the filer is authorized to represent the holder of the copyright being claimed (so really it just protects big owners of copyright from people impersonating them). The only real recourse for false claims is to sue for damages, and even then the bar is high. You need to prove damages and that the claim was made in bad faith, not merely negligently.

No that's wrong, authy backs up your TOTP seed to their server and will give them out to anyone who gains access to your authy account and can verify that they can receive sms messages sent to the number associated with the authy account. (Though they are encrypted and authy does not store the encryption keys).

Why do you think this disproves pilot wave theory?

> Physicists also compulsorily reject Bohm’s construction because it explicitly builds nonlocality into its framework—even though violations of Bell’s inequality have conclusively shown that the stage of our universe is nonlocal. This is perplexing. Nonlocality is unavoidable in any theory that recovers the predictions of quantum theory. Therefore, any criticism of a theory that displays Nature’s nonlocal feature in an obvious way is both unfounded and counterproductive. Despite this, Bohm’s inherent explication of nonlocality continues to be obnoxiously mistaken as a strike against it instead of for it.

Which proponents are you talking about? Usually one of the talking points on tax "reform" is that the tax code is too complicated and reform is needed to make compliance easier.

Or it motivates institutions to never find anyone to be wrongly imprisoned.

Why would economic rationality assume that the decision made will be made with perfect information as to resulting utilities and disutility and maximize the net lifetime experienced utility?

This seems like a non sequitur, and a really silly assumption. Wouldn't economic rationality assume that the decisions of actors are rational rather than based on perfect information about their consequences?

If you can't pay the fine in most states you aren't supposed to go to jail.

They are, but ADHD is particularly unresponsive to other interventions. So those drugs are usually what ends up being the only effective treatment anyways.

React components mount to any element you want. And everything they do will happen within that element if you are using react conventionally. There is no issue mounting components alongside/inside legacy apps.

Also murder rates have a confounding factor in that they can go down simply due to better medical technology allowing more people to survive murder attempts.

I would be, this is exactly the use case for Palantir's social media monitoring system. If they failed to pull in this data source that would be a huge miss. Especially since Palantir and PayPal (who now owns venmo) were co-founded by the same person.

As the author mentioned there have already been papers published about this but they got nowhere near the same attention. If you are actually concerned about the users of venmo you should be thanking the author he managed to bring major security issues to the attention of far more users then anyone else working on this same issue has been able to. And as others have noted venmo already shares everything with law enforcement, so there is no issue here with exposing people to increased legal risk.

That's easy for the court to bypass though. Simply provide immunity for charges arising from the testimony.

Yeah that's why codes don't make for a good second factor. You should use something like Fido or a client cert such that a MitM can't continue to impersonate the client.

It's because this supports plugins which are intended to interact with other user-space programs in order to allow for cooperative resource management. These plugins would be much harder to write if they had to be implemented in kernal-space (you couldn't use standard user space libs for making RPC calls, would be easy to introduce kernal corruption if you don't know kernal programming). So yes it's for development reasons but not to allow for a faster POC. It's to allow non kernal devs to easily write plugins.

No he is saying that Amazon doesn't really care much about their video business and therefore are fine with decreasing it's competitiveness via censorship if it decreases the risk of boycotts on is primary businesses.

Whereas if Netflix becomes less competitive in it's video business they lose everything. So taking risks by not censoring can make more sense.

They just mean apps that use Google play services will be broken. I don't think that's unreasonable. it seems you want it both ways, you want the ability to remove or disable Google play services, without losing access to them.
