Not the poster you asked the question to originally, but YouTube Red was never available in Canada.
Mpv previously did a lot better job using video acceleration particularly nvidia at least on Linux.

I believe this has been improved a while back but I now use Mpv for all my laptop/desktop needs.

Network steams provided as in a url for a video often is no such thing.

You might notice that Mpv uses YouTube-dl which has a variety of recipes that are updated to actually figure out how to get at a video.

That this works a lot is pretty good work.

The web is a mess and developer are presumably disincentivized to ensure that people can watch contents outside the officially sanctioned ad ladden experience.
It's less of an excuse and more of a statement about the current state of reality. Are there examples and counter-examples and so on? Absolutely. Do any of them change the state of reality by existing? No. Is a very sizable portion of private-sector work today paid for by the NSA, directly or otherwise, including both defensive and offensive capabilities? You bet.

As a result, saying people should go to the commercial world isn't actually much of a change. It's not an alternative to the current reality because it is the current reality.

It's worth remembering that you probably don't hear about the big players very much in places like this. Endgame, MITRE, Leidos, etc. They tend to stay out of the limelight while still employing substantial numbers of people.
Probably not hard - just engage the higher cognitive functions. "Does it look like noise? Yeah." Or just close one eye and look again.
I wish my errands were that eventful, but they just feel like chores. Give me a button to press away my chores and I'll spend my outgoing time at the pub with friends.
I can see good use for it.

"Some number types don’t accept all communications -- for example, most landline numbers and many VoIP numbers do not accept SMS messages. Identify which kind of communications users can accept, based on their number type. This allows businesses to optimally decide whether to send voice or text communications for $0.005 per lookup" - from that page

When you type a landline number into my app that sends text messages it will fail. So I can choose to pay Twilio to confirm that the number can receive SMS. My users have mistyped their numbers in the past and that can be awkward when some random stranger gets a text from my system in the middle of the night.

That being said, they would charge me half a cent per lookup. I probably won't bother with local numbers, but I think I will use this for international numbers.

Additionally, since Twilio is giving me national format preference data for free, I might as well reformat a user's entered number to match their usual preference as eye candy. Although, I will just use http://www.phoneformat.com/ JavaScript library like I planned since I want to auto-format numbers as they are typed.

If you are making a site like Craigslist and want to enforce phone verification for making new accounts, you can require that users use a cell phone number instead of easily obtainable VoIP numbers. Craigslist implemented something like this in-house.

Another good use is now you can see if the robocall you received originated from a Twilio number. I looked up my Twilio numbers and they show up as "Twilio" under carrier. The page is live, so you can lookup numbers for free. You can then file a ticket with Twilio and make that person's life miserable.
I generally have visa issues with a particular non-US nation, but the entire reason to have an HR department is to have someone who knows how the game is played when writing a letter/application responsive to legal requirements.

The bullet points to hit:

1) Employer, a well-regarded National company in the business of blah with Social Proof, Social Proof, and Social Proof, has been recently stymied by lack of Insert Statutory Language Here. This is materially impacting their financial performance and damaging the economy and national security of Nation. It has been particularly difficult to find someone capable of Insert Statutory Language Here because of the business necessity for Extraordinary Talent In Short Supply In Nation.

2) After a period of searching, Employer has identified Candidate. Candidate is the perfect fit for Employers needs, and as such hiring him is critical to the economy and national security of Nation. Additionally, Candidate alone possesses Critical Talent Identified Above.

3) Candidate will be employed as a Insert Statutory Language Here to do Insert Statutory Language Here and Insert Statutory Language Here, and such other tasks as may be required.

By the way, if you can't find a national security angle, you aren't thinking hard enough.

Well-run bureaucracies are simple state machines, with published transitions. You give them exactly the input they require to go to the desired end state and nothing else.
RAM is transient; SSDs and magnetic disk are both persistent.

Wow, somehow I missed this fact after 30 years of programming!

both SSDs and magnetic disk can serve as stable storage

Yes, but sometimes a quantitative difference can result in a qualitative one. (Like branching and merging and using historical information in Git. The fact that you can do this so quickly from the local Git repository means you can use it in ways that wouldn't be practical in something like Subversion.)

Offhand, I would guess that a big reason for lengthy bootups is the time required to probe, detect and configure hardware

Why doesn't this apply to hibernating laptops? (Or for that matter, the iPad?) In this day and age, to we always have to turn the power 100% off on a regular basis? Also, there are experimental OS like EROS, where there is no boot-up, only a reactivation of certain facilities like network cards.

The lengthy boot-up process is now living on a set of cultural expectations. There is no longer a technical reason for its existing.

I use both. iDisk is pretty good for what it is: a webdav drive. Sometimes I just want a place to dump and retrieve files, not sync them. The sync model used by Dropbox is sometimes problematic. I just bought a new Macbook Air and don't want to sync all my Dropbox files, but I do want access to them. However, there's currently no way to selectively sync files. In this scenario iDisk actually works better. Also, the iDisk iPhone app is really nice.
Hard to say without more specifics. Generic answer would be maybe a quarter of a percent.

Ask him to invest now. Even $10. And to help you raise capital (telling other people "yes, I put money into them" lends credibility if the guy does in fact have credibility to lend).
I know that my submission's title is not the same as the blog post's title and that I will get some hate for it. However, the two diffs linked in the post give pretty convincing evidence that IE is picking up on the exact SunSpider test. Furthermore, if you read the last sentence of the blog post the author is more or less beating around the "You're cheating, we've caught you red-handed" bush.

> That's an old debate in history - are specific events caused by specific people, or are the political currents so strong that no matter who would've been in a specific position, history would have likely taken the same course?

> But here it is for certain that this specific coup hings on the absolute leader figure Trump is for his followers. And what he says all the time.

Even there it's both, I think. Trump is part of a trend towards valuing immediate power over everything else, and being willing to play dirty to keep that power. His followers listen to him in large part because they've been primed by the media for decades to distrust the "mainstream" (where "mainstream" apparently doesn't include some of the people with the largest audiences, but actually just means "people who disagree with you").

The mystery is just how those people maintain the cognitive dissonance of being "pro speech" and "pro democracy" when they've tuned out everything else and are just focused on power in what they perceive as a war...
No, this is just a way to verify the Cert for the first handshake, so that one doesn't need to use one with the IP in the sub alt names.
People won't accept them on the streets, that's for sure.

Perhaps they'd have a chance if they used a different form factor, though.

Using copyright tools to try to contain published documentation of facts about anything is roughly where, if possible, I boycott anything involved with that company to the maximum reasonable extent.

It is clear that TI no longer has an interest in developing new products, or figuring out better ways of making existing products, and would instead like to rent-seek and make the world a smaller place.
I actually do believe the gist of that, though I do agree there's a bit of spin. Do you think this guy would have acted anything remotely like this by himself?

That doesn't change the fact that he and others like him committed a crime and should be punished accordingly.

He also said a lot more than just that excuse you paraphrased, which I thought was more relevant and significant than his attempt to explain his actions.
Nevertheless, Brown did not carry out those threats and most likely if he ever had any intention of carrying them out it didn't last for more than a moment. Could be Brown is an excitable blowhard, and actually not a murderous thug. I'm reminded of some of Linus Torvalds' infamous rants and wondering how poorly he could be made to appear to the people at large if he were to be prosecuted by the gov't for something.
Good find!

Clearing cookies/localstorage should fix that for you, at least until the devs figure out a fix :)
It's news that a life-changing volume of cash can get hacked away from your wallet and just vanish.

It's not better that there's actually a planet-changing volume elsewhere in similar jeopardy. We should be howling about the anti-features baked into these things that enable criminal enterprise.

It’s not the only thing they were exposed to though in the natural experiment, so it’s entirely possible that third factor C is what’s driving it.

There are more studies according to the article that make the solid case, but one instance of correlation is not necessarily a smoking gun.
> Unless you think they are 'being sneaky' by developing zero day exploits to break permissions boundaries and prevent logging on both Android and iOS.

Pretty much, yes. Perhaps only one of the two operating systems, and perhaps not all versions.

I'm not confident they've done that, but it'd be hard to prove they haven't, and frankly it seems like the kind of thing FB might do (I'm sure not everybody would agree).

It's certainly possible that FB is just wildly superior at understanding/predicting people than humans are. Their targeting is, after all, really good.
> they have been receiving legal letters from S440 SA demanding the removal of any negative articles and user comments from their websites about the UseCrypt Messenger app

I guess S440 never heard about the Streisand effect....
I am really fascinated by the failure of Borders and the continued decline of Barnes & Noble. I'm not an expert but it feels like they really overextended themselves, diluted their focus and like you said, failed to leverage their position the way Walgreens did. But maybe the reason I feel that way is just that I spent a lot of time at the neigbhorhood B&N/Borders reading their books without buying anything other than the Starbucks coffee at the on-premise coffee shop. Can't say they managed to get much money out of me, but I think they provided an enormous service to the community.
Yes, though you need to lower the saddle as well as remove the pedals.
They're playing the long game.

Most of these sanctions don't really work either. China will get what it wants some other way. The US will get to look like it acted. Everyone will be happy...

California homelessness is, obviously, deeply tragic for a lot of reasons, and I think anybody selling a "simple solution" is either lying or just wrong.

But man, when I drive through downtown L.A. and see street after street of tents on corners down below 70-story luxury condos with gigantic "LOTS OF VACANCIES! NEW, LOW RATES!" banners... boy, does it bum me the fuck out. Surely, I think, surely a just society would see those two elements and put the puzzle pieces together.

> The animations/effects etc take way too long. It is fatiguing to work on it because every action takes at least 2+ seconds with a dozen animations, each one lasting 100ms-300ms!

> We need a completely new operating system with absolutely zero animations.

Whoa, there's a big gap between "there are too many animations" and "we need a completely new OS". There are a lot of good things about iOS that I'd hate to throw out with this bathwater. I'd much rather fix this problem than throw up my hands and start over.

(As to fixability—macOS, for example, let's you turn off animations for app openings, and I think iOS's "reduce motion", or whatever it is called, helps here, too—although I don't have an iDevice handy to test, [EDIT] and I see now elsewhere in this thread you aren't happy with it.)

Tesla | Senior Technical/Physical Security Systems Administrator | Berlin, Germany | ONSITE | https://www.tesla.com/careers/job/sr-securitysystemsadminist...

The Technical Security team is responsible for implementing technology solutions to improve the physical security of Tesla's people, places and intellectual property. We're growing our internal team to evolve our physical security infrastructure and invent new ways to solve some very old questions; this role will be central to the success of that mission.

I'm currently looking for someone with experience in designing/building/programming physical security systems (access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection, etc.) and server/network administration. The role will be based in our similarly developing Berlin offices and support work across EMEA and the global company.

Please give the listing a look for a better idea of what your day-to-day might look like. If you think you'd be a good match please drop us a resume; we're reviewing new submissions regularly over the next few weeks while we start interviewing candidates.
We didn't eradicate SARS-CoV. It died out on its own. Due to the high R0 and animal reservoirs there is no way to eradicate SARS-CoV-2, or even keep it permanently under control. It will be around forever, just like the other 4 endemic human coronaviruses.

https://www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/vinay-prasad/94646

The only human virus we have eradicated is smallpox. And that only worked because there were no animal reservoirs, and the vaccines were fairly effective at preventing infection and transmission. That situation does not obtain with SARS-CoV-2.
I kinda assumed some level of satire or story would emerge but it seems sincerely manic and a sort of conspiracy theory prone type thinking.
I think 'the algorithm' truly is the bogeyman of our time. Have you considered that it is precisely people themselves who crave engagement and that it is the often reviled paternalism which liberates people from following their worst instincts?
What do you gain from having additional warheads? If you have enough to kill all enemy decision makers and effectively destroy the enemy nation then having more doesn't do anything for you. The big cost is that your enemy will discover you are secretly amassing nuclear weapons and will escalate against you. Incentives seem to align to keeping relatively low numbers of nukes to me.
The whole point of Emacs is: you get to change whatever you don't like.

The Lifetime movie "Recipe for Seduction" was all the way real, believe it or not [0]. I thought it was a gag too but it was playing last time I turned to that channel.

This feels like a troll post : comparing a final exam with a job interview. One is the end, total sum, of 10 years of study, the other is just... a job change. It's important, but not worth a month of my lifetime. I've only got a few hundreds of those.
I suspect their new insolvency created a different kind of heart condition.

One way of deriving this is the cost of an average hip replacement in the US is $100,000 USD ($128K CAD) - how many Canadians have a spare house kicking around to finance a hip? Probably not that many.

Further, this paper, [1] and this write-up [2].

If you actually read the policy brief on which your article was based [3] you'll find a few interesting things. For one, they acknowledge that this travel includes traveling for non-covered procedures like cosmetic plastic surgery. It also implies snowbirds are not covered in this data, but then acknowledges in the next line that they probably are too but they don't have actual breakdowns other than their own "knowledge" that people are leaving due to wait times.

"The federal agency wasn’t able to provide a breakdown of patients seeking medically-necessary procedures and those leaving Canada for cosmetic surgery." This feels like important information to know.

I find this paper incomplete and un-compelling.

With that said I did find this statement in the second street brief pretty funny: "While health care debate in Canada often focuses on comparing our current system with the United States, readers should note that the Commonwealth Fund report ranked the United States 11th out of the 11 countries it examined."

So, you are kind of being cynical or very simplistic in your answer.

The fact is: regional superpower cannot compete with the world superpower, right? The Saudis have always seen themselves as the exclusive outside power in Yemen, for example. They called US when when Iranian-backed Houthi rebels marched on Yemen’s capital city and overthrew the transitional government that came into power during the Arab Spring of 2011. So it's not just about Iran, but to assure the geopolitical control in the region (through Allies and Proxy wars), control the global price of Oil, and to avoid that - in case of War - nobody does to US, what US did to Japan in the WWII (stop fuel provision)

The new episode from "Intelligence Matters"[1] talks a lot of about that. It's not just because of Iran.

The author isn't really arguing for widespread policy changes, that would be for society to decide and like you said, in total maybe the chemical exposure has a net benefit in avg lifespan anyways. But there is a classification of health issues that is not explained by traditional medical views, other than to say that it's a neurological issue. If there is a physiological component at play, research in that area could really help treat suffering patients, or provide opportunities for them to manage their illness. I don't know whats considered fear mongering about that.

I always think "Because I need money to survive," followed by "and your project seems like it would look good on a resume for when I apply for a new job in 3 or 4 years because you're not paying me enough anymore." Then I say "I'm excited for the opportunity to develop this product." I never told them "why" I'm excited. I only told them that I am, which is all that they really want to hear.
