They have three cameras, well, had three. The south rim camera (v3) was overrun by the eruption at about 0957 local time, you can rewind the stream and watch its final moments.

I think it would be more accurate to say there was not enough cross-licensing. The generally preferable model seems to be service platforms that compete with each other, but with access to all the same production companies that also compete with each other. Vertical integration is an obvious win for the owners, but this fight has been going on since the earliest days of mass media with radio and motion picture studios.

Netflix was the early beneficiary of broad licensing because the draw bridges hadn't been pulled up yet.


Interesting. Maybe my adblocker is getting a lot of that, what I noticed amongst my etsy-using friends was that Etsy itself was being flooded with the same sort of incredibly cheap "artisanal" as what Temu looks to be selling. It wouldn't surprise me if there was substantial overlap in the producers for all of that under the parade of shops that show up on Etsy, Amazon, etc.


Learning itself is not obsolete. Burning scarce time on arcana associated with various platforms and libraries may become so.

The various LLMs are decently good at recreating known solutions to problems that may require arcane knowledge, which covers a lot of human memory. Is there something lost here? Probably. But who yet knows what may replace it.


Most of the other "Better C" languages never got the inertia to overcome C++ so that's not really a unique case. Go and Rust both had key organizational buy-in from large and culturally important orgs early on which is why they seem to have gotten roots down versus most others, and even Go took a fairly long time to see adoption outside of Google at least to my view of things.

With only a single or small group of evangelists for a language or platform, as soon as any of those aren't pushing it anymore, the entropy takes over.


Rust was sufficiently different from C++ and C in a lot of use cases, while maintaining a similar syntax.

It also rode on a sort of anti OO programming sentiment (or rather, pro interface anti class sentiment), which was my personnal reason. I mean, i know you can do everything rust traits do with interfaces, but it feel better, and it also feel better there won't be a exceedingly smart programmer who does exceedingly smart things with classes that someone will have to understand and write a documentation for (and fail).

It also was out at a good time, with a sort of "rivalry" with go, without the same uses case: the number of "Go vs Rust" thread that poped in with the response "they are not targeting the same problems" did help with popularizing the two languages.

And rust is simply a very good language.


I gave the police a 4k camera video of a crime happening and they did nothing with it. This is pretty standard police laziness in the US, individual cops might care but departments overall give zero shits for small people except as revenue sources.

Data ownership issues like this in the US will never be pushed by existing political interests, hopefully we'll see more EFF-ish PACs in the future that take a page from the fascists and provide the written laws and bills they would like enacted to state and municipal governments so local representatives can edit the title block and get back to harassing their interns.


When I was younger our house was robbed and some prescription drugs stolen. Not only did we know who did it, we had text messages where they admitted it and a witness who came forward. The police refused to do anything about it, and told us that if we wanted them to do anything at all we should consider voting for a different mayor.


Because the mayor created policies that tied the police's hands? Or because they just wanted a different mayor ("vote that librul out or we ain't doing shit" type of thing)?


Probably because they just want a different mayor. Mayors and prosecutors don't have the ability to tie cops' hands. Even council and plebiscite acts to direct the police to treat certain crimes as "lowest priority" are routinely ignored. Mix in decades of copaganda and qualified immunity, and you get American cops that aren't accountable to anyone.


I read it as more "we won't do anything unless the mayor forces us and we know this one won't".


They didn't like the mayor because he supported a civilian audit board. This was eventually forced on the city anyways by the DoJ due to the unbelievably rampant corruption and abuse in the department.

Springfield, Massachusetts if you're curious.


Actually I think the police should take direction from a democratically elected mayor. The problem is that they are most often not politically accountable to anyone at all. Not sure about the particulars of your situation, but that is a very odd response.


Same. I even know who stole stuff from our place of business and found the eBay listing tied to the person who did it. And yet, nothing.


It’s not just the US. This happened to me in a west European nation as well


With purely hosted media there is no way for purist fans to ever have the "original" or whatever version of it, unlike the people who were swapping around laserdisc and 35mm versions of the unspoilt cuts of Star Wars, etc.


In this specific case you could buy Stranger Things Season 2 on Blu-ray which would have the original version on it. But that is probably getting to be a rare case, especially since you can't buy Season 3.


There is. A web rip version of a given piece of media dating to sometime right after the premiere is as close as you can get to a “canonical” version without obtaining the master files. This is for pure-digital content, but things often get released on BR so that’s even higher quality source.


Torrents work like a charm here.


That's not something that can be relied upon. I've seen numerous torrents die from all seeders dropping off, to attackers poisoning metadata thus making it impossible for any new downloaders.

Torrents as a whole may seem like the cockroach that never dies, but individual torrents die all the time.


Whether the old HN claim that “storage is cheap” is true or not, preemptively downloading everything you might be interested in (or all new releases) is one solution to this problem.


Which is what the data-hoarding crowd has been doing for a while. Storage is relatively cheap, you can get extraordinarily large amounts of it for a few thousand USD if you aren't super concerned about five-9s uptime and Google still lets small team-sized business customers store petabytes for basically zero additional cost if you're OK with near-line retrieval times.


Not specifically addressed at you, but it's a bit amusing watching a younger generation of programmers rediscovering things like this, which seemed hugely important in like 1990 but largely don't matter that much to modern workflows with dedicated APIs or various shared memory or network protocols, as not much that is really performance-critical is typically piped back and forth anymore.

More than a few old backup or transfer scripts had extra dd or similar tools in the pipeline to create larger and semi-asynchronous buffers, or to re-size blocks on output to something handled better by the receiver, which was a big deal on high speed tape drives back in the day. I suspect most modern hardware devices have large enough static RAM and fast processors to make that mostly irrelevant.


Staring at electronic displays is generally considered unhelpful for trying to get to sleep due to both the light and rapid-attention span activities, having it under the pillow is probably equally harmless as the dozen other EMF sources around your bedroom.

Unless the lithium battery catches fire. That might be bad for you.


Do you know if the original order was from Reolink? If I had to guess, that may have been a questionable reseller, I've seen several cases in which it looks like you're ordering from SomeCorp as fulfilled by Amazon but once you get into the actual order process it shows up as some other seller that was in the "Buying Options" list.

Definitely sketchy behavior on Amazon's part, never dealt with the selling side there so no idea if this is sellers gaming Amazon or just awful market platform in general.
