Hulu is an example of the same model. It was funded by a consortium of industry players, like Comcast, Fox, and Disney. Volkswagen and Ford were doing the same thing. Unlike Hulu, though, it wasn't successful. My guess is they felt lea

In my observation, the game industry and tech industry are like humans and apes: they have the same ancestor, but at some point in our ancient past we diverged. You rarely see crossover between the two these days, and I doubt we'll see

Sanderson has such a following that I can only imagine nothing has turned into movies yet because he's not letting it happen...possibly because he's retaining a lot of creative control. If so, I don't blame him. Movies have b

I once advocated at this when at Disney, but the truth is that Nintendo has no interest in selling to anyone and they don't have to

YouTube's problem isn't competitors. They already have most of the eyeballs on the planet. It's that anything new they do is going to cannibalize the rest of their revenue streams. Want to push people to more clips and create

I'm reminded by calls for Apple to buy Nintendo. It focuses on a very specific upside while ignoring or hand-waving away all the challenges that would likely kill what makes these companies work.

Anti-AI seems poised to be the anti-vax of the next few years, where laymen pick up lines like "we have no idea how AI does the stuff it does" and take that wholly out of context. As a society, we have to decide how we feel about

There's a common fallacy in your example in that you're asking "who" caused the accident and not "what." This is why blameless retros are important. Whenever you're dealing with who, the responsibility is

I recently quit caffeine. Like you, I never noticed a difference...until I took my workouts more seriously. Recently I noticed that caffeine makes it more difficult to go hard at the gym. My heart rate spikes more readily.

To be fair, this sounds like some junior engineer interviews I've conducted

This is, in my experience, the core differentiator between a tech company and a non-tech company.

As a kid on many a roadtrip in the 80s, I have a special fondness for triptiks. It gave me something to focus on and it gave my parents some peace as I quietly studied maps. I have a vivid memory of going to AAA before a roadtrip where some

I love the way my team does it. - All support tickets go into a Kanban board separate from the scrum board - Whomever is primary oncall works exclusively in this queue and is excluded from the sprint for that week. Depending on volume, you

Not OP, but "near collision" implies the very close passing of two objects. These two planes did not come close. Instead, action was taken to avert an almost sure collision. That said, this is all pedantic.

This is an incredible write-up. Kudos to the journalist who wrote this piece. I wish more current events were chronicled this way.

This situation is heart breaking for us who have a lot of attachment to this API. I built a research thesis around data mining the firehose, and that work got me my first data mining job. I made hundreds of valuable connections. However, th

To what end? Put on trial in the court of public opinion? Likely be harassed? Receive death threats? The only end this would serve is to give people a circus while they wait for the trial.

My only memory of watching this show on TV as a child is of how utterly unheroic Link was, and that bothered me as someone who played the games. I have no nostalgia for this show, and I’m glad it didn’t do better. If it did and this became

People already started making moves to protect their livelihood in case the OGL was revoked. This response by WotC is not enough to make them reverse course. I hate to say it, but they should've just stuck to their guns on the OGL upda

I wonder how often such motions pass. It's obvious CoinDesk wants it so they can plaster the names on their website for views, so how does this weigh against a reasonable measure of privacy? These people haven't done anything ille

I watched the hit-driven business die from the inside at an entertainment company that produced films and games, and I think the author misdiagnoses the cause as the rise of subscription. Subscription is another symptom. Hits-driven busines

It sounds like we were in very different classes. I was using a graphing calculator mid-way through high school for calculus and statistics. Before that, I was using a basic one for trig and geometry.

It may be hard to believe, but this was the same argument I heard about calculators in the 80s. All that's really changed is that calculators are "normal." AI tools aren't going anywhere. They're just stackoverflow

Copilot is the calculator for a new age. In spite of everything my math teacher warned me about, if I am in a situation where I do not have immediate access to a calculator, I am not in a situation where I need to do quick math. We make det

This should be renamed to Copilot's free tier as it impacts more than just students. This is also temporary based on a maintenance window and should return to normal on Monday.

This is doing all the right things and I think I'll get one, though I think their product videos are doing a disservice showing people playing in crowded areas. Show people playing in parks surrounded by people bored on picnic blankets

I get where you're coming from, but I think we all forget how much we looked like dorks out playing pokemon go. The difference was we were dorks in large groups. If you and a friend are doing this together, you're no longer a dork

This was my initial take six months ago, but I've come to realize this is about runways. Imagine you just lost your job. First thing you'd want to do is get some idea of how long it'll be until you can get another one, then l
