This is a gold mine, I'm so glad to have found this article, thank you for sharing! I definitely evolved from "The Hermit" into what I am currently, some form of "Smartest in the Room"(I don't think I'm sm

I don't know if the Italian correction system is corrupt in the same way the American system is corrupt, though.

Agreed -- I think we should, as neediness increases, lower the penalties per a judge's discretion, but I don't think we should ever completely eliminate the criminal aspect of theft. There is room in a justice system to convict a

I think you're having a reaction to the higher risk profile that comes with breaking in production. That's understandable, but wrongheaded. Plenty of companies are very successful with the mindset as I have described. Netflix ru

I don't think the characterization you're making of my argument is accurate, and I don't get the sense you're interested in understanding what I'm explaining here, so I'm probably done. I'll leave you with

It's risky, but the same order of magnitude (so to speak) that driving your car into work is "risky".

This is an older style of thinking that is, while safe, slower. Competition who doesn't follow this model and pushes fast, failing often will generally run faster to market than a company who follows this line of thinking. Their soft

Relax, I don't think I said bugs are never bad, or devastating. I said the idea that catching a bug in production is a huge problem is a myth. It is not, by default, true. It is true given additional information for a specific case,

I am on mobile, so it's hard to provide links, but I'm referring to the "cost of bug in production" chart that's one of the more famous studies, from a citations perspective. Completely fabricated research.

Obviously, but not always, or even usually.

Depends on your domain. Facebook bugs are less costly to deploy fixes for than router firmware bugs. The specific thing I referred to as a myth, though? That is completely fabricated, the guy lied in his research. Total myth.

The code itself isn't super duper pythonic, which is not ideal, but definitely the right direction for a project like this to move. It's just hard sometimes to set and follow standards when you're pushing to demonstrate value

In this case? Probably. But the idea that catching a bug in production is a huge problem is a myth, pushed by research that was later completely withdrawn.

How will someone like CloudFlare stop a tool like this from scraping their customer's sites? Just blocking the tool's IP?

That's a world which robs people and businesses of their property rights, without very careful thought.

Okay I think we're talking past eachother a bit. You're worried they'll lock DreamWorks/Universal films/NBC TV shows to Comcast customers only, because of their position as an ISP. We can agree, that's bad, if

by dimino 11y ago
So you're saying that since Comcast is governed by some laws that benefit it, we have to now create new laws that hurt it to offset the benefits?

They are in absolutely no way protected from competition. Their competition includes going outside, reading a book, etc. Not to mention the plenty of other content producers out there. Protected from competition? Are you kidding me?

And I don't want the next two Avatar movies to get made, but I'm not the one advocating we get the US government to enforce such a thing. It makes zero sense for the US government to get involved in this deal.

by dimino 11y ago
They shouldn't have to, there's nothing life-critical about watching TV shows that the government needs to split this company up, or get any more involved. So what if you can't watch Two Broke Girls if you don't have C

Profit motivation. Do you really think Comcast just can't help but make TV shows and movies, like musicians can't help but make music? You're basically ripping out the budget from the hands of producers and directors, for ab

This has nothing to do with the ISP arm of Comcast, and everything to do with you wanting content without paying for it.

A "public" company is still "private" in the sense that exclusively shareholders decide on what the company does.

No, under your proposed rule NBCUniversal would be forced to share the content it spends millions of dollars creating for free with its competitors because of a government mandate. This isn't divesture, this is nationalization. You&#x

In content production? No, it's not a utility. The ISP? Yeah, sure whatever. Not on the table right now, though. We're talking about NBCUniversal's content library. This is basically saying the US government should take o

Is there a meta-syndrome, wherein all submissions of Stephen Wolfram content end up discussing how unfortunate it is we're all preoccupied discussing his self promotion?
