Just remember how badly it went when Troi was in charge of the enterprise… she crashed it into a planet

They very nearly beat piracy when there was basically only one streaming service, Netflix, and everything was on it.

Music piracy used to be the biggest thing and now no one pirates music anymore since there are one or two streaming services with essentially 100% of all the music available

Make going legit easier than piracy and piracy goes away

But unfortunately for the studios everyone wanted to get their own piece of the streaming revenues and fragmented the market. In a lot of ways it’s still better than the old cable tv system (everything on demand, no or at least fewer ads, higher quality programming) but the sheer amount of services someone needs in order to be able to watch everything (and even then it’s not 100%) is really turning people off.

If they’d all stuck with Netflix or whatever and every studio got on board there’d be basically no piracy now

Can someone explain to me, a non-Australian, why the hell your ballot asks people to write yes or no??

If someone marked both boxes their ballot would be invalidated. Easy peasy

I actually had a concept for a fantasy world, where magicians craft spells much the same way software devs do. So you make your spell and publish it to the ether, and then anyone can invoke it using the magic word (package name), assuming the have the right dependencies available (eye of newt or whatever). But spells might have bugs. So if you used eye of red newt while the spell smith built it with the expectation you had eye of blue newt you might get unintended consequences

The demons are attracted to doorways, passages between spaces, worlds, and realms. And printers are the ultimate doorway: a portal through which ideas and concepts can leave the software realm and enter the physical

This summary is terrible and misses basically all of the context. I encourage anyone interested to just read the article (it’s like a 2 minute read) and not this comment
