> Nearly every movie released by a major studio in the past year based on an original script or a little-known book has been a box-office disappointment. Before this weekend’s flops were Warner Bros. Discovery’s “Mickey 17” and “The Alto Knights,” Paramount’s “Novocaine,” Apple’s “Fly Me to the Moon,” Amazon’s “Red One,” and the independently financed “Horizon: An American Saga Chapter 1” and “Megalopolis.”

These were all bad movies (Below 7 on IMDB), including "Drop". Most had a redeeming feature though.

The problem is multiverse that's bad still does OK, "Snow White" hopefully will make a loss but it's still pulled in $181 million so far.

2024 Box Office, hard to find an independent movie too low - https://www.boxofficemojo.com/year/world/2024/

"Juror #2" is probably the worst as a solid movie for the genre and probably Clint Eastwood's last. It was mistreated by Warner Bros.


> degrades their control over the content

Encryption (can work with sharing), signatures, fall back to CDN. Control is not an issue.

> torrents are good enough.

Torrents can't do the massive market of livestream, like sports or season finales or reality TV / news. This is the entire point of the question.

> The only entities

And everyone kicked off of YouTube or doesn't want to use big corporations on principal, like Hacker Cons or the open source community.


> Encryption (can work with sharing), signatures, fall back to CDN. Control is not an issue.

And of course if an encryption key gets leaked, you can just rotate it. Since it’s a stream, past content is not as important.

(That said, I don’t think it will help — any DRM can be cracked, and there’s plenty of online TV streaming sites even with the current centralized systems.)


you can stream blockbuster movie which got released yesterday. DRM is important.

"Torrents can't do the massive market of livestream" CAN do, why are we not using them is not technical reason, it is that most people just pay apple tv / netflix and not have to install anything on their computer, and UI / interface is 10000 times better.

or very similar point - i had conversation with some big youtuber and person was confused why he is not more popular with certain demographic. reason was that said demographic was watching on big TV and content he was filming was big head directly in front of camera. so they do not like having 3 feet big head right in front of them... most young people watch things on mobile..



> Can't really put it on Netflix or YouTube if it has to be nondeterministic.

Like Bandersnatch or the 20 other Netflix interactive titles (Most gone now - https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/2869704)

They are shit. People want shared experiences and not thinking until you loop all the way to a computer game, the in-between is garbage.


Cane toad tadpoles and eggs also contain the poison bufotoxin.

Strangely that poison is what they use to find the eggs/siblings to eat.

You can squeeze the poison out of a toad and use it as bait for cane toad tadpoles, or buy it.


> The cost of laptops etc. is not even a rounding error

In general it's not treated that way. Getting a $10 cable at work even though your salary is $80,000 can be hard

One of the biggest costs is bureaucracy.

Given other countries will have reciprocal tariffs and/or higher taxes I'm not sure why they will be cheaper it's a complex change going on.


It's just because he is white male looking isn't it, academia hates white men. Why are we over thinking this?

Personal statements like job apps are about bragging which is hard for anyone to do, the comments putting this down are piss poor.

Otherwise the comments are he shouldn't have written it as a normal 17 year old, he should have paid an experienced adult to faked it like everyone else. They could have helped him fake the "diversity" universities chase.

If universities wanted true diversity he is it. He's already worthy to have on their alumni which for the adults in the room, when all information is on your phone universities are the mostly connections you create . i.e. Gates, Wozniak , Jobs


Nah, as a parent of a high achieving daughter who had higher GPA/ACT scores than this teen, I can tell you the issue is that a high percentage of students who apply to places like Stanford and MIT also have perfect scores. A 4.0 GPA 34 ACT doesn't mean much anymore. My daughter was waitlisted or rejected by every Ivy+ engineering dept she applied to. (Granted she might have gotten in had she applied for general admission; applying directly to Engineering is doubly-hard. She ultimately accepted a full scholarship at a good "second tier" engineering school and graduated debt free, which is maybe better.) There's just so much competition these days, especially from foreign students who have spent most of their lives perfecting test taking and spend considerable money on tutoring for their applications/essays as well.

Here's a (2014) article talking about it - https://doi.org/10.1002/2013JB010762

"One notably (and perhaps ominously) quiet section of the fault is the 220 km long Meiktila segment, between the large city of Mandalay and the new capital of Naw Pyi Daw. This long quiet section separates a southern cluster of ruptures in 1929 and 1930 from a northern cluster between 1931 and 2012. The length of the Meiktila segment implies that it is capable of producing an earthquake as large as Mw 7.8 to 7.9, if it ruptures all at once [Wells and Coppersmith, 1994; Blaser et al., 2010] (Figure 22 and Table 4).

We speculate, on the basis of sparse historical records of shaking, that the 1839 Ava earthquake may have resulted from the failure of Meiktila segment, in conjunction with the Sagaing segment, its neighbor on the north. If the Meiktila segment has been dormant since then, and the fault is fully coupled down to a depth between 12 and 15 km, as Vigny et al. [2003] and Socquet et al. [2006] suggest, then accumulated slip potency on the Meiktila segment after 1839 is enough to generate a Mw 7.6 earthquake."


Cool drone footage that shows the site and explosion - https://x.com/NASASpaceflight/status/1906340191083581704

It misses the pad, surprised it wasn't scuttled in the air.


I feel like the FTS shouldve triggered, but its possible it was too low, and wouldve cause significant shrapnel risk.
