Rest in peace, neglected iTunes Movie Trailer app and website

Once a popular spot, the long-standing service has been buried in the TV app.

@arstechnica just 12 taps on the remote to navigate to trailers now. Awful. Opens up an opportunity for third party devs though

A partial list of the bread-and-butter posts of today’s digital media companies that, I think, are about to be automated away by mediocre AI tools.

@caseynewton There's a joke here somewhere about people using LLMs to turn bullet points into articles, and other people using LLMs to turn those articles back into bullet points.

@christianselig sorry if you answered this elsewhere, but do you have any plans to open source Apollo’s code? Or any plans to reuse it as a basis to build for other platforms?

“A decent rule of thumb is that all cryptocurrency exchanges are doing crimes, and if you’re lucky your exchange is doing only process crimes.” https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2023-06-06/the-sec-comes-for-crypto

tomwinzig,
@tomwinzig@mastodon.social avatar

@codinghorror Crypto has a lot of good ideas: decentralized consensus, decentralized identity, control over information, non-fungible tokens (and I don't mean JPEGs, but provably transferring a digital entity from one person to another in a decentralized way), and of course, amazing potential for privacy with zkSnark transactions.

I'm not ready to throw out all of crypto because grifters started abusing it, any more than I'd throw out email or the internet in general (for the same reason).

tomwinzig,
@tomwinzig@mastodon.social avatar

@codinghorror Yeah I think there's two issues:

  1. Did they actually violate securities law?

and more importantly (to me):

  1. Does it make sense to try and apply a 1940s era law about the stock market to this entirely new technology?

Making it illegal for people to trade digital entities amongst themselves without the government's approval seems insane to me, personally.

tomwinzig,
@tomwinzig@mastodon.social avatar

@codinghorror why though? I saw your post about them asking for compliance info, but not following why that led to a loss of trust?

I invested in coinbase as a startup and held the public stock longer than I should have, but don’t hold any more. Still, they haven’t made many missteps in my opinion.

tomwinzig,
@tomwinzig@mastodon.social avatar

@codinghorror Yeah I was disappointed in Brian's response to this brouhaha as well as the one related to how they handled employees that weren't happy about their "no politics at work" type policies, and tweeted at him and coinbase at the time as well (now deleted with my account).

It just hasn't translated into "I don't trust this company" quite yet.

tomwinzig,
@tomwinzig@mastodon.social avatar

@codinghorror hmm on second thought... ;-)

tomwinzig,
@tomwinzig@mastodon.social avatar

@codinghorror oh no, oh nooo

tomwinzig,
@tomwinzig@mastodon.social avatar

@codinghorror can’t read more than the first paragraph due to paywall, but just in that first paragraph the author states that all cryptocurrency exchanges are violating securities laws, which, isn’t that what the lawsuit is going to determine?
