I get that you don't want to use Safari, but actually "forcing us to use Safari" is exactly what Google did. Google chose not to implement HTTP Live Streaming, and therefore it's not available in Chrome. Microsoft made the other choice, which is why it works in Edge.

The double standard here is really quite breathtaking. Apple doesn't implement a feature: Apple's fault. Google doesn't implement a feature: Apple's fault too.

The stress of trying to land a job is different than the stress of trying to meet a deadline at a job, no?

And Im not saying that meeting deadlines is the only stress, Im just saying that being stressed out about how you will provide for yourself is different than the stress of having to perform well at a job
That's exactly the point. Sure you have "control" but what good is all that control if it takes you 4 hours to track down the source of a problem and fix it (for example). Github has 100s of engineers (with heavily specialized knowledge that you don't have btw) working to fix any problems, I'd bet on them over myself and (maybe a handful of engineers) everytime ... and I've run my own subversion/git servers before.

Some folks just hate the feeling of not knowing what's happening and how long its going to take to fix, vs having direct access to work on problems themselves even though its not necessarily "better" in any sense of the word ... hence the illusion
How was it mindblowing? I thought it was a pretty poor example of what AR can do. It was just a 3d game on a tabletop. Pokemon Go is a lot better, and it's pretty basic.
Didn't say the story was meant to be taken at face value, only that the idea that you have some degree of control over your life is empowering and I think leads to more happiness.

It's useful to look into research into optimism and pessimism: especially Learned Helplessness, which is what happens if (as I had in the past) one slips into thinking that they have zero power over their lives, and that your social factors determine everything.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learned_helplessness

I recall that a study found that pessimists were actually more accurate in that their perception of reality was closer to what actually happens. But optimists were happier.

I don't know the specifics of your situation, but if prosody can be at all learned or improved, then that's something that can be changed, which is a lot more than some of the other stuff out there like skin color or height.

Anyways, I appreciate your thoughts on the matter. I don't want to dissuade anyone from standing up/fighting the good fight for social causes. But as someone who naturally skews pessimistic and struggled with depression, maintaining the semblance of control over my life, even if it's not real, has helped tremendously. And I hope it helps others too.

> Tell the story again and say that one of the travelers is black and the other white or one is male and the other female or one is rich and the other poor and see how you feel then about acting like your attitude alone determines your social outcomes.

I'm not sure that's the way I'd think of it. More like: imagine two travelers, both are black, or both are gay, and they're exactly the same in all regards (thought experiment!), and one person believes that them being in group X means people treat them unfairly, while the other doesn't. They will have different interpretations of events, leading to different responses, leading to different lives. As I said above, taking the stance that we can control our lives leads to improving our lives, taking the stance that social factors are the biggest leads to us I think improving society in the best case, or learned helplessness in the worst case. The former is easier to do than the latter.

And that's a practical thought experiment, because you can change your outlook over time, it's the whole point of therapy. Those two travelers are the same person at different points in their lives.
Yes, I always placed Pinterest at the same end of the spectrum as Etsy.
If Pinterest ads don't show ROI why is their revenue growing? People say the adboard is full of diet, teeth whitening, fidget spinners, these campaigns are all about a ROI or otherwise they wouldn't exist.

1. Yeah, sorry, I was really speaking in general terms here and should've been more clear about that, as your argument was explicitly that it's just another step in a pre-existing wrong direction, not a big horrible thing all its own. re: wast vs minified JS, the specific comparison I had in mind was with asm.js code, which (minified or not) is from what I've seen less readable than wast.

Generally speaking, my point here was that I think some arguments against wasm conflate a pre-existing state of affairs that aren't liked
with the delta that wasm introduces.

2. Hm, yeah, fair enough. In my mind this all boiled down to "the only significant direct effect of wasm is to make what we're already doing faster", which in itself is obviously good; but that was coming from my bias of being a fan of asm.js, and ignored the other long-term impacts that would inherently come with enshrining all that extra machinery — even just politically blessing what asm.js already accomplishes in most browsers as the officially sanctioned new normal in all browsers isn't nothing if you think it will at least politically help in pushing things further in a bad direction.

I'll have to reread your and other arguments against wasm with a more open mind less stuck on the immediate delta.

And yeah, actual harmfulness or lack thereof aside, it wouldn't help anyone for all this effort and API surface expansion to go into building out a feature that didn't add value ("ecosystem bloat"), so that's a fair point.

3. I got what you meant by that, although on the first read it also sounded like there was some sort of misunderstanding (mostly combined with the "bad vendor incentives​" section — it wasn't clear why a vendee would be more likely to accept compiled wasm without source code than minified/obfuscated JS). In any case, I don't see why being required to leave the browser for performance-sensitive code should be considered a feature and not a bug. Wasm presents a very convenient method of sandboxing untrusted code with a high performance requirement.

Agreed that this isn't a concern for typical CRUD apps or documents (although I imagine CRUD apps will ultimately benefit in the form of frontend JS frameworks incorporating wasm in critical paths), and I know I'm definitely in the minority being a beneficiary of asm.js/wasm. However, it's a bit late at this point to unmake all the more complicated applications we've built on the web, and all wasm does is improve a subset of those applications that already exist (as opposed to enabling entirely new applications), so I don't think this is a good argument against it.
Although to be honest, this is close to how I always wanted warhammer 40k to be...
But to play devil's advocate, replace "for simply not being able to interact socially with others" with "for simply not being able to adhere to a schedule" or "for simply not being able to keep up personal hygiene" or "for simply not being able to understand their boss's tasking". There are a million social standards to which we hold the average employee, and they all add up to an effective coworker.

In a world with men and women in the same workspace, being able to interact comfortably with the opposite sex is not just a life skill. It's part of your job description. So I'm not offended by companies that demand high "performance" in this regard.

With all that said, I 100% agree that the increasing frequency of "trial by twitter mob" is an unacceptable development. If somebody got fired for poor job performance, you wouldn't raise a twitter storm shaming that company for having made a poor hiring decision, nor would you plaster that person's mugshot everywhere to warn others of making the same mistake. You would just say "sorry, it's not working out" and send them on their way. So in that regard I think we are actually in complete agreement - making a mistake shouldn't make you a pariah. But I'm fine if it makes you fired.

> Democratic socialists don't exist.

Yes they do; first, socialism is, in it's origins, radically democratic. The anti-democratic offshoots of socialism do not define socialism.

Second, and more to the point, democratic socialism is, itself, a distinct political movement (it happens to be both democratic and socialist, but even if it wasn't democratic socialism would exist as a distinct thing.)

> Bernie Sanders doesn't understand basic political terminology.

Clearly, he does far better than you do.

HLS requires the MPEG2-TS container format, which is not royalty free and therefore has no chance of becoming a web standard or of being implemented by Mozilla on free platforms.

I don't see the double standard. All but one browser on GP's platform support the royalty free option. Only Safari on his platform supports the encumbered option, and he doesn't want to be forced to use it. On my own preferred platform, no browsers support HLS.

Since the votes on this thread won't let me reply:

@pjmlp: I choose to use a platform where developer experience is the primary goal because developing software is both my vocation and avocation and why I am reading "Hacker News." If I wanted a walled garden media consumption toy, I would get a LeapPad. Look, we can snark all day, but that doesn't change the conclusion that tommoor was right about web standards.

@millstone: There are no royalty-required formats that are web standards for a reason: to make the web free and open to all. That is why it is not a red herring. Bringing Google into it, on the other hand, is — whether Google pays the fees has no bearing on whether the format should be a web standard. Apple chose not to implement hardware decoding for the unencumbered format. All other major consumer hardware manufacturers have.

If we ever come to live in such a dystopian society I'm going to use our new found peeping power to mark political enemies and remove them all in a night of the long knives stile ordeal then overthrow the government and burn everything to the ground.
It is a remarkable feat, but still in the realm, evidently, of what is humanly possible. Risk is always relative to the activity in which you spend your time.
The problem is trying to "automate" the justice system, and in the process, accidentally creating a dystopian dictator's fantasy.

Mass surveillance provides unparalleled power to those who control it. It's unprecedented in all of human history. I don't believe humanity knows how to safely handle such power at this point.

One of the most fundamental concerns is the fact that, once collected, the data is vulnerable to being misappropriated or weaponized for the entirety of its existence, possibly for many decades or longer. By that point, laws may have changed significantly and the entire political climate could be drastically different.

Imagine being automatically put on a special list and thus denied certain basic priveleges​ due to "questionable" posts you made in an online forum 15 years ago. We can imagine a wide variety of vague and controversial definitions of "questionable content" for this thought experiment.

You're thinking of the ODB II port, which has basically nothing in the Tesla.

It is. If they made 20 billion dollars, and then spent 21 billion dollars, and 2 billion of the latter was a big pile of money that they set on fire, it shouldn't count as a cost of revenue.

If, on the other hand, the spent all 21 billion dollars on paying drivers, driver promotions, marketing, flash sales, and coupons... It most certainly should.

Maybe not. The "second-gen" autopilot hardware is just more cameras and a new radar. No LIDAR yet. Tesla is struggling to get back the performance of their own first-generation autopilot, hopefully without the "crashes into stationary objects partially blocking lane" feature.

One thing I find weird about people who are obsessed with the Russia scandal is that they seem to believe that if "involvement" is proven, it's over for the trump administration.

I really don't understand that at all because if we want to get real, the OPM china hack was bigger than most of the things being alleged at the moment by stealing the database of everyone with a security clearance and yet, not a peep from anybody.

It would seem if you were consistent about cyber threats, these people yelling for sanctions on Russia should be yelling for sanctions on China as well.

conspiracy <> secret + unconstitutional

i think to reach the level of a conspiracy theory, you need a lot of people doing something outrageous. for instance, if you have the army, the navy and fbi and the russian kgb (or whatever they're called nowadays) in cahoots without a single leak for twenty-five years, that's improbable.

i tend not to buy conspiracy theories because they usually need a leak which doesn't exist. for instance, my brother is a 911 truther. in his opinion, a civil engineer saying "that's impossible" establishes it as a conspiracy. in mine, the fact that no-one from the pentagon has said "haha, and we cut up that plane and put it in the building, it was amazing, look come here check out my emails" when he was drunk establishes it as the real deal.

It's not "the best players" who struggle with free throws so much as the taller players. That's probably because if you're seven feet tall, it's a lot easier for you to become a valuable player at the NBA level than if you're six feet tall, so guards tend to have more developed skills than centers.

I doubt Chomsky really has any ideals at this point. Politically, he's been occupied with relativism for decades, the utility of which is questionable.

He's a master of weasel language, to the effect that he can deny ever having made a solid statement about anything. You'd be hard pressed to ever find a quote of him saying what "should be" in clear, actionable terms. You will however find post-hoc rationalizations, in abundance. He has extraordinary hindsight.

That aside, I don't see how it's rated false. Just because they claim "well this is how we do things" doesn't make what they have been doing for years any less fake.

I understand they didn't go out, pay some actors to hold some signs up but the scene itself was created and crafted for the TV and in my opinion that's fake.

The media is supposed to be informing the public, when you start using tricks to an attempt to hoodwink your audience into your narrative that's the opposite of informing the public.

All they had to do was point out either that they brought a few protesters over from the main protest to show you them specifically, or maybe a better idea yet, just go to the protest and turn the camera on so we can see what is actually happening, not what they are staging for us.

I wasn't meaning to imply that political instability isn't a cause for concern, but I wasn't referring to the introduction in my conclusion, just the listed points.

Also, for what it's worth, I didn't intend to refer to it as political instability, rather, just the usual situation in which one administration explains uncomfortable facts differently from another.

I have no idea what Trump's response to it would be, but IIRC, the Obama administration spun the low participation rate as something akin to "Well, now that people don't have to have jobs for medical insurance, now they're free to drop out of the workforce and pursue their hobbies" or something. To be fair, that didn't strike me as a terribly convincing answer, but I'd wager it unlikely that the Trump administration would "credit" the ACA for the low participation rate, even if it were true.
