  • Some of that is also the director. It's Stanley kubric. He really liked having his scenes sink in. I also found it effective to feel a sense of the vastness of space.

    The movie is very philosophical. I think it is similar to blade runner 2049 in terms of slow pace sci fi setting not there for your entertainment but to get you to think.

    I think while it could be something to watch for entertainment, I'm not sure that's actually where it shines or what critics even value about it.

  • Or just consider those sources as fodder but don't use it as a substitute for critical thought.

    RT tends to favor novel story telling, directing, and acting performances. It tends to give neutral (fair) feedback to movies that coast on good writing.

    It tends to pan movies that do not break new ground or that rely heavily on comedy.

    So I just keep those quirks in mind and don't really let the RT rating actually represent any sort of "final" opinion. It's more a number I can apply to the context of a film to let me know whether to expect it to be good, bad, or neutral.

    I still watch and form my own opinion, but a little curation never hurt anyone. There's lots of stuff to watch, and these review sites can help sift the options.

  • What do the kids do in the meantime? I understand it's a lot to throw a "kid" into university, but it's often done so they can get a career and start contributing to retirement and building wealth.

    I mean it's also impractical to have a family without some career so that gets put on hold too. Or worse they have kids and have to go to school at the same time.

    I'm not saying everyone should go to college, but just defending the reasoning for those that do why they go as young as they do.

  • Normally I wouldn't give a shit. But for these P2P businesses the unit economics for the business to be profitable requires passing on that expense to the end customer.

    I'm not going to pay an extra $10+ dollars or whatever for my meal when I'm already tipping, paying tax, and service charge.

    So I'm saying while it sounds awesome to pay people more, in this case it will just cause these services to go away.

    Everyone down voted me like I'm defending the companies, but that's not my intention. It's more that these services as they are won't exist, so everyone loses. The employees lose the job and their customers lose the service. The company goes out of business too but that's not the issue I care about. We will effectively all lose delivery services except those willing to pay a lot for it, which stifles demand and makes the problem worse.

    Anyway... I'm totally willing to hear counterarguments and certainly on the side of the workers, but the knee-jerk downvote and talk about how everyone needs a living wage isn't helping dive into the nuance of how these businesses operate and make money and what impact this decision will have on the business model.

  • I don't see how this doesn't kill business for these companies.

    Edit: I'm not defending the decision not to pay people more in general. It's more about the service going away altogether because the wage cost will be passed into the customers. But if that's what you fuckers want ok. I don't live in NY so it doesn't affect me. Enjoy losing access to all your delivery services.

  • Imo, the idea of it doesn't match the reality, which is a very virtual one. Intrinsically, it's a lot to bet on when real life offers more.

    VR today also forces the first person perspective. For some that can cause nausea, and for others they get fatigued quickly.

    I think there's potential but from what I've seen a lot of hokey options mixed with a limited market in a limited supply due to price just won't foster anything organic.

  • No! And they'll fail, retake the class, and learn from their mistakes (relying on AI completely instead of using AI for enablement). I see no problems.

    This is something our whole generation will learn about and understand, like has already been done for email, social media, the internet, search engines, etc. Students are just the most concentrated because they are young, and this technology applies to solving homework problems.

  • I like the idea of binding numbers to parent directory traversal. I do cd ../.. a lot in one of my projects (switching between source code and terraform folder), it'd be handy to get out of the terraform folder by just typing 2.
