mircea_popescu: it's circular, otp is only impractical because people have been designing things to make it impractical. otherwise otp generating doohickeys would be trivial to make.

mircea_popescu: You’d think this would be paradise for the males. Wrong. Every male chimp is a cuckold. Chimp alpha males are in a tizzy, running around trying to stop secret copulations between females and lower-ranking males, but the female drive for sexual variety outwits the male chimps while they are busy fighting. Alphas can only control one or two of these nymphomaniacs at once, who throw themselves on male penises every time
mircea_popescu: the alpha male’s back is turned. Males can only strategize for a higher percentage of copulations, never for faithfulness. When a chimp female in heat presents her posterior to a male, there could be any number of different guys’ sperms already swimming around in there.
mircea_popescu: This is why primatologists never watch TV. When females go into estrus, the chimp-offs are pure entertainment. It’s funny, violent, full of chases and trickery, and it’s X-rated—imagine a pornographic Three Stooges– and the researchers get to claim that counting erections is scientific research.

ThickAsThieves: why on earth did Netflix make House of Cards available to Comcast?
ThickAsThieves: how dumb can you be...
mike_c: wow. going to be interesting to see if hbo kicks their butt in the next 5 years.
ThickAsThieves: netflix should be signing up with hbo and the like
ThickAsThieves: not comcast
ThickAsThieves: hbo should be leaving comcast
mike_c: well, hbo and netflix want to kill each other
ThickAsThieves: altough, comcast seems to be inadequately concerned about monopoly
Mats_cd03: Comcast is dying, netflix is just fucking the corpse
ThickAsThieves: well that gives comcast life
ThickAsThieves: hence the stupidity of the move
ThickAsThieves: the only acceptable future for comcast is as a vanilla internet access provider
ThickAsThieves: anything else is less than ideal for consumers
ThickAsThieves: even that is questionable
mike_c: maybe comcast agreed to stop throttling them in exchange for house of cards

KRS-One: netflix pisses me off...90% of the titles I never heard of..9% were from 1980 and 1% recent/goodmovies.
ThickAsThieves: mike_c , that was, seemingly, a different deal
ThickAsThieves: krs-one, if you dig you can find stuff
ThickAsThieves: they just need better suggestion ai
ThickAsThieves: better social integration would help too
moiety: KRS-One: exactly why i didnt keep it, i couldn't find much world cinema either
ThickAsThieves: but they fucked that up back when they got rid of Facebook integration the first time
mike_c: interesting, they did that other deal just a few weeks ago. HOC must have been part of the negotiation.
ThickAsThieves: there's more foreign films on netflix than any other option
moiety: ThickAsThieves: i didn't know they did that... why? thats dumb
moiety: ThickAsThieves: not good ones
ThickAsThieves: legal reasons
ThickAsThieves: it's back now, but limited
mike_c: ah, no. apparently it had nothign to do with netflix.
moiety: ah
mike_c: "Though Netflix holds the streaming rights for "House of Cards," Sony is in charge of distribution internationally and through home video."
ThickAsThieves: my guess is they fucked up and too many wives saw husbands autoposting that they just watch Meatballs 3
moiety: lolol
ThickAsThieves: this is still an issue with netflix
ThickAsThieves: the history
ThickAsThieves: theyve now made identities to mitigate
