Agreed, I'd much rather an autonomous car be driving us to the hospital/emergency-care while the would-be driver can be on the phone preparing the destination for their arrival.

Step 1: Ensure your whole toolchain (libraries, tech, etc) is either open or too commercially essential/purchasable to obsolete (Win32 libs).
    Proof: There are old PHP code that hasn't been touched in 10 years but can be improved easily.
    More proof: When the incompatible Python 3 came out, years went by where the other environment was maintained, and now for most code you run the converter and you're set. No commercial interest would have taken that much care.

Step 2: What is BIG? _Size-big_ On most resumes for the field big.
    Proof: Oracle's Java interpreter is so insecure that you can't use it in browsers anymore, yet it persists everywhere it can because the engineers know it.

Step 3: Don't put a lot of dependent code on-top of it
    Frameworks don't last, but neither does the product you're creating. If you don't have much code atop the framework, moving to another will be easy. If it will take a lot of code to make your tech work on a framework, it's better to fail fast. Keep your code atop the framework modular so you know where your integration points are.

Step 4: Be the integrator.
    If you rely on many small libraries (who doesn't), be sure you are-or-run the glue and not their compatibility. It's more code, but allows you to entirely replace a library that doesn't live up to your changing needs.

Step 5: Model Linux's ecosystem: standards win since they're multiply-implemented.
    As the most research-able long-lived full system, you see lots of libraries, fickle front-ends, separate long-running processes (daemons) to manage long-running and security-intensive operations. Large programs are broken into smaller programs which are each audit-able, replaceable, reusable, easier to divide labor, etc. Programs with the longest life depends on standard wrappers like the C libraries (which many libraries implement identically-enough) and not on the fickle kernel /proc sources of the C API wrappers source from.

In Rome they never fed the military enough, and they trained in cities, so they inevitably stole from people or went survivalist.
I'm most interested in a pay level that generates the best response for the public, which would logically be high.

The DRM strength was in combining the decode-and-render in closed form plus a hope/mechanism that the render can't easily be captured.
If this decouples the decode from the render, it'll be like any other closed video codec, which can be used quite easily to copy content.

1. Rough word-by-word is the beginning
2. Sentence structure reorganization
3. Idiom recognition.
4. Connotation, Tone, Irony
5. Generation / Area / Nature: How a native listener can determine details about the speaker.

The result will always be annotated-looking with warnings for plays-on-words, and will always be longer with maximum detail extraction from the source language.
I'm sure there's more to do after these items are done.

I did productivity retrofits at a manufacturer. I "improved" things for years. The boss got rich as productivity grew, but nobody got paid more (including me). So little got reinvested that the company went under, so now there's one less previously-successful manufacturer and nobody employed there.

When there's nobody left to care for the direction, watch the trends, and generally relax, then destructive decisions are often made. Both do that, the second just does it more.

But they must be the latest Windows Metro apps and nothing else. There aren't many of these. Since there's little reason to push corporate apps to this, & far more push to move them to the web, Tablet OS choice shouldn't apply to companies much.

Then the heat from the reshaping process mostly takes care of the residue.

You can trust that these companies have a profit motive to bring electricity & internet out there, so you can understand their path. It clearly has parallels to altruistic behavior for now, so lets enjoy those parallels while we know why they exist (because we understand their mindset).

Countersue the legal representation and win by default since DMCA use doesn't apply to content you don't own copyright on?

False takedowns are a felony that maybe a Comcast lawyer should experience, you know, to be made an example of.

I do that too, but consider
- the latest shows that won't make Netflix this decade,
- the benefits of fully-patched Android devices over unpatched stock roms. I have more piece of mind from that than anything,
- the civil disobedience against ever-more-invasive corporate blockades with laws attached. Are you sure you have nothing to worry about in the grander sense?
- other providers: I've watched UK shows which will never be available to the USA.

(Oops, I forgot to turn those speakers down. Games needed it louder to be heard.)

You kids go to bed, stop playing on the computer.

It must be a cultural/generational/social thing, because I am a 30-something man and could care less about any sport. As I get older, the idea disgusts me that over-concussion-ed growth-irregular people slamming into each other should get so much of our money and focus while so much many more high-value life (and society) choices go ignored.

QBittorrent:
- Watch torrents within minutes of finding what you want with in-order downloading.
- Searches span tens of sites & return only results & seed/peer numbers, but no ads. The description page (if you want it) is still only a click away.
- After 3x seed, torrents auto-pause. (no management necessary)

The final video file is mine to watch wherever I want. Unlike Netflix, this includes:
- With the kids during Car trips.
- On the cheap non-Google Android tablets that are affordable enough to entrust to young kids
- On the Cyanogenmod- ed phone because the stock ROM was awful & insecure.
