>I also just want to see the code because i think it's cool

This is not "the" code but here's a script. I can't take credit for it... I don't remember but I probably cobbled it together by taking stack overflow code and making it more friendly. First, you need ffmpeg (ymmv.. this assumes macOS, for others installing ffmpeg is also possible but left as an exercise for the reader):

$ brew install ffmpeg

Then:

[edit: fixed some typos]

#!/bin/bash

export OLD_IFS=$IFS
export IFS=''

mkdir -p converted
for a in *.{webm,mkv,ts}
do
ffmpeg -i "$a" -c:v libx264 -preset slow -crf 20 -c:a libvo_aacenc -b:a 128k "$a.mp4"
if [[ $? == 0 ]]; then
mv "$a.mp4" converted
fi
done
export IFS=$OLD_IFS

Save as convert-to-mp4.sh then run it in a directory containing files of undesirable types like .webm

Not saying this is perfect. Take it as a proof of concept. And there's no web UI, nor would I want one. Suggestions for tweaks welcome.
Gandi.net for the last 14 years. Not the cheapest but good service and no upsell.
aws - first class aws integration (obviously) and transparent price
NameSilo

They've got competitive pricing, free privacy (WHOIS guard), a straight forward interface, and an API for those who need it.

Not OP, but I would say that when statistics acts like a subfield of mathematics, then it is an art.

However, if we consider judging whether a statistical method will be useful for the world as a part of statistics, then that part sometimes is an empirical science.

That is, the statement "I should use X technique because it performs Y% well" is sometimes an an empirical statement.
I don't work at Google and I use Google Domains, so there's that. $12.00 a year, no nagging, and I can do some nice things like email forwarding for a hundred email address from the domain and the ability to share administration with other people à la Google Docs. Just point a A record at GitHub and you get Pages to host there too.

Yes, sadly having lots of fancy sounding stats creates a smoke-screen of believability.
I think the maddening ambiguity you mention, along with the general aesthetic and ambition of the film all stem from a pretty fascinating synthesis.

On one hand, you have a filmmaker who is really hitting his stride as an artist. Kubrick in the late 1960's not only had developed a solid command of his medium, but he was also a serious commercial proposition for Warner and was granted every resource at his hand.

On the other hand, culture still had quite a modernist sensibility around space. We hadn't entered into the cynicism of the 70s that continues to color our perceptions today. 'Space' was this gigantic cultural construct that really captured people's imaginations. Perhaps a fair parallel may have been the romanticized expansion to the Old West.

So I've always thought that this very fertile material, paired with peak-Kubrick, was always going to result in something ambitious and confounding for audiences.
It does actually matter what's running under, so you know what to expect from its behavior and if one doesn't exactly need the few features textQL offers exclusively, you would think to just use SQLite without random layers on top.
I use Dreamhost for almost all of my domains. I have been hosting with them since 2003 and for simple hosting needs they have been just what I need, no hassle, no attempts to sell me other products I don't need, and reasonably responsive tech support in the (pretty rare) cases when I've needed it. Based on that hosting experience I started moving my registrations to them as well (mainly from GoDaddy but a few from Network Solutions), and by now almost all of them are with Dreamhost.

I have a few domains that are with GoDaddy simply because I paid for ten year registration years ago when they had special deals for that, and the ten years haven't expired yet. When they do I expect to move those remaining domains to Dreamhost as well.

How does Aadhaar stop corruption? You think the corrupt are just going to check in with their fingerprints and "Oh man you caught me?"

This seems like a system that will just hit those with lesser means. I'm not sure I see that as equality or something that would stop corruption.
Yep, continuum seemed like a killer feature on release.

But I wasn't prepared to pay $AU1000 to try out a Lumia 950 at the time and the 650 was far too anemic to support it.
Yeah they're both spec-compliant, but (IIRC, as of a few months ago), in gmail at least, there's a huge difference:

janedoe+acme@gmail.com resolves to janedoe@gmail.com, and the "+acme" is simply a useful bit of metadata for Jane to track the provenance of the sender's mailing list.
the "+" and anything following it are ignored. It signifies an optional suffix.

Whereas janedoe.acme@gmail.com resolves to janedoeacme@gmail.com -- a completely different address than janedoe@gmail.com.
The "." is simply ignored as
if it weren't there, making j.anedoeacme and jane.doeacme and janedoe.acme equivalent.

Yeah this is specific to how gmail chooses to handle these spec-compliant-though-often-mishandled characters, but anyone who works with email professionally absolutely has to come to terms with how gmail works.
I can understand why Schama start from there, it is the time where we have a lot of other sources except from the bible and archeological sights here and there. My grief was more with the article writer and the idea that anybody thought there were no Jewish life outside Israel at that time. It is pretty common knowledge, from the bible itself which mention the life of Jews in Persia in the book of Daniel to anybody who read the history of Jews. It is not news and not surprising, we all know that the Talmud was written in Babylon, that's why it is called the Babylonian Talmud. There is no "widely held belief" that Jews lived only in Israel after the destruction of the first temple.
Great pics in those links. Are Hahn and Pferdsfel still in active use then? Or did those wind down after reunification?
Whitelisted by YouTube. Still no app to let the user whitelist channels or videos themselves. Only blacklist, which is useless with the amount of channels on YouTube.
I have a friend at Bandai that says the US market actually has laws that prevent the situation that occurs in Japan.

Shows like Power Rangers basically have their entire commercial blocks bought out by the toy company that manufactures the Power Rangers toys. This creates a very interesting relationship where the show runners and toy creators work together when creating the next season, where the two companies have veto power over ideas from the other. The toy companies come up with special guns or powers unique from the previous toy line, but the show producer can argue that it wouldn't translate well on screen or that there aren't enough good story lines and vice versa.

In America atleast the toy tie ins are limited in the amount of advertising they can show. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the limitations on online advertising are far weaker than their television equivalents. This tracks with my own viewings as a child from what I can remember. I remember being bombarded with toy ads when I was young, but I also remember being excited about toy tie ins I didn't know existed when I got my parents to rent Power Rangers on VHS and having the first and last 5 minutes of the video tape consist of toy advertisements.

Reading between your lines, perhaps incorrectly, it seems you are in the camp that cancer treatment is ineffective and it won't get better because it is making people money they way it is.

But the fact is there have been great strides in the survival rate of many kinds of cancer over the past 40 years, even though some are more stubborn than others. It hasn't been dramatic advances for most of it; most of the gains have been slow, incremental improvements that add up over decades.

Actually, I remember now, I called mine "brain shivers". Whenever I moved my head, my visual field would stutter as if the room was only lit with a strobe light. It didn't hurt, but it was nauseating and it made standing up and walking around very difficult. It was terrifying. I did go to a psychiatrist. He didn't fine tune anything, but at the time, I trusted him. In hindsight, I can see he was a terrible doctor.
Moreover some broken email validators reject plus addresses. It's nice to be able to fall back on special dot combos when you want to keep track of sites selling your email to spammers.

Unfortunately this seems pretty common with a lot of new gTLDs.
What kind of media? You might be able to avoid hosting them on your own servers. If it's video, you can use Youtube. If it's images, use Flickr or something else.
Whenever I began to feel depressed I would simply go to my tv and start watching episodes of `It's always sunny in philadelphia` or whatever comedy made me happy

This sounds a bit like you discovered Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That's actually a very insightful, practical approach you developed.
iwantmyname.com, I think originally because I wanted to register my name, and they got me with their domain name. It's been straightforward enough with good service and no upsells that I've since registered other domains with them. I think they're based on Germany, which may be a positive for some folks here.
Gandi.net for years now. They've made recent changes that fixed my biggest gripes, and have pretty good docs for getting everything set up. I especially appreciate their private domain registration, meaning that my address isn't associated with my domain.
But not for Chromebook.

It’s amazing how high & dry parents are left without options for their kids to use a Chromebook. You wouldn’t believe it until you see for yourself.
Well, I'll admit I didn't do a ton of research on it, but I moved all my domain names to "NameCheap.com" a few years ago and I've been happy with their services. They had a pretty sweet deal to move them over too.

I'd been using "Verio" for probably 15 years before and the last 5 of them were just awful. I should've never waited as long as I did to ditch them.
David Reich: ‘Neanderthals were perhaps capable of many modern human behaviours’
I don't recommend this, but if your media are images, some really large manga sites (kissmanga.com, a top 500 site in the US according to alexa) have been using blogger.com to host from Google Album Archive for years now and still haven't been shut down. They are probably pushing hundreds of terabytes in bandwidth per month for free.
IWantMyName.com for reg (cheap, reliable, "do one thing well", nice UX).

DNSMadeEasy for DNS, same reasons.
I concur. Gandi.net has excellent support, predictable pricing, and a reasonably good admin interface. Also, their email reminders (e.g. to renew a domain or verify information) are pretty much plain text and straight to the point, which is all I want.
I do this, using a Google Apps script to send any emails to unexpected addresses to Spam.

Explicitly declared types are like anchors. They make it harder to change the program to be a different program. In many cases this is good since it tells whether a change breaks things or not. But it does add to the "mass" of your program, makes it harder to change its direction.

Your declared types are the shared "language" under your program. It is much harder to change the language that what is said in it. Changing the language would actually change the MEANING of what has already been said.

Indeed, I agree.
Although, a lot of us are working towards replacement of C in a lot of areas. Being able to say you've written something in Rust is one thing, but having the whole stack Rust all the way down is something else. Not to mention, it's fairly simple to create C bindings from Rust libraries using Cargo workspaces and cbindgen.
Gandi.net for 16 years. Not sure why I chose them but stayed with and bought more domains because of role separation between owner and technical contact. Also the free email hosting, web redirection and email redirection are useful and it is annoying how much some registrars charge for these (Gandi doesn’t do .au domains)
"assist" is the key here. Often big companies such as Google believe than AI can "replace", because any process involving human interaction "doesn't scale".
Nokia Lumia 1520 and 930 are two of the best phones I’ve ever used. More than the tiled interface, I liked the consistancy and the coherence across the OS. The OS followed a certain set of design principles throughout and what few apps were available integrated well with it. Things like the various Hubs were very nice and useful. I’ve always liked the idea of scopes from Ubuntu Phone, and the Windows Phone Hubs were built along the same idea. I’ve always felt that there should be a central app for each category which all providers should integrate with, instead of having individual apps[1]. For example, I usually want to watch a video, not YouTube/Netflix/Amazon Prime/whatever. The Video Hub or Scope should aggregate videos from all the available sources. The same concept can be applied to a Music, Messages etc.

Coming back to the point, coherence is something Android sorely lacks. Unless you are using a phone with near stock Android[2], the apps are always out of sync with the rest of the OS in terms of the design language. And many apps don’t even follow the Google design guidelines. While there were not many non-Nokia Windows phones, given their track record on Windows desktops, I don’t think MS was going to allow that sort of interface customisation.

The lack of coherence enforces my view that Android is some sort of Frankenstein’s Monster hastily cobbled together without putting much thought into the design - internal or external.

I wish Windows Phone had survived, if only to provide some competition to Android. Let’s face it, iOS and Android don’t really compete in any meaningful way. Google is happy to stick to the volumes while Apple keeps the premium segment.

And I wish I hadn’t sold my Lumia when Nokia/MS didn’t enable 4G/VoLTE for my carrier. At least I’d be able to use it as a secondary phone.

[1] The individual apps can be there for people who like them, but they must plug into the central hub.
[2] With Pixel Launcher not being released for other devices, it is not clear what “Stock Android” meany anymore — Google is fragmenting Android themselves. Can you imagine the outrage if MS kept certain Windows features exclusive to Surface?
Not sure where all those rhetorical questions came from. They seem like non-sequiturs.
We've already thrown away POSIX compatibility. Linux isn't POSIX. Mac OS X isn't POSIX. Windows isn't POSIX. POSIX only continues to exist in varying degrees at different times.
IWantMyName for the same reasons, and good customer support from the dev team.
I think non-programmers probably learn Smalltalk easier, assuming its natural. Long time programmers maybe have the frustration of unlearning habits.

"The only languages worth learning are those that change the way you think about programming."
That's commitment. I loved my N9 about as much as anyone, but for me, the HW just doesn't cut it anymore. Sure, you could use it as a dumb phone, but perhaps then you wouldn't even need the interface.

Anyway, with faster internals, a sharper screen and an up-to-date browser, I would choose Meego any day of the week. Shame it wasn't the case.
It is still all cash. Govt. removed 1000 INR note, only to introduce a 2000 INR note. This was done as a surprise move under foolish assumption that people hoarding black money, would lose all and we'll get a fresh start. Naturally people being smarter then government, found ways to transfer it all taking 5-10% in laundering charges.
I use Google Domains for work and personal stuff. It works, rates are reasonable, GSuite integration is nice, and I can administer DNS easily until I need to scale to a better DNS provider.
namecheap. switched during last the major godaddy fiasco. cheap enough, easy enough.
Currently use Namesilo.com for free Whois privacy.

I used to use Namecheap but they charged extra for Whoisguard, and I wasn't happy that they pulled the Daily Stormer (yes I hate Nazis, but IMO censorship should be handled by court orders not CEO's opinions.)

Used Gandi.net back in the day, had no complaints other than the price.
Namecheap now, used to be GoDaddy but they were trash.
Perhaps Netflix people are to blame for taking +tagged mail addresses as different than the ones that are not tagged. It is a well-acknowledged [1] and commonly offered feature by the email providers that should have been accounted for.

Dots-don't-matter, on the other hand, is very specific to Google, and they simply do matter in many other (if not all other) email providers. I think Netflix shouldn't be blamed for not accounting for provider-specific, non-standard equivalences.

Email address verification alone doesn't seem to fix all the erroneous aspects of this issue: Let's say Netflix was requesting verification, and then you receive the email for the +tagged mail address. Shouldn't it say that you already own a Netflix account, instead of asking for a verification at that point?

All I say is competition is good.

I don't want to live in a world where Android is the only mobile OS out there. This is also true for the desktop space, Windows dominance is an issue, especially since the web didn't really fulfill its promise as an app platform, something Linux would have benefited from greatly.

WP browser was also sub-part when it comes to JS/HTML5 support compared to like Firefox on Android at that time. A good mobile browser is just the most important thing for a smartphone.
Why not use cash?
The case I'm considering isn't an application to be used by an analyst, but the analysis of an application used for some other purpose. It's often the case that an application only stores the current state. When there's historical data, it's often snapshots at regular intervals instead of an event log.

Anyway, we're going way down a rabbit hole. All I wanted to say is that if the user, sensor, or application logic emits something weird, sometimes it's correct.
Open source existed, but wasn't as easy to distribute as it is now. I'm also not sure that the education-model Macs would've had a development environment installed to assemble the source (if the Macs I used in the mid-90s at school had software development tools, I was never aware of them, anyhow). And I'm not sure what the options would've looked like for acquiring an open-source set of dev tools for the Mac anyhow (especially considering that Power was a new, still rare hardware architecture at the time).
/r/ElsaGate monitors this quite actively.

The current prevailing non-tin-foil-hat theory is that some animators realised that they could game YouTube's suggestion algorithm, and that kids videos are an easy target. Kids also are very inquisitive when it comes to subjects you tell them are inappropriate. Over time the videos with darker themes got more clicks and it has spiralled out of control since. Throw in some bots to increase views and comment rapidly once videos are released to increase rankings and you've got a perfect ad-revenue scheme.

Of course there's nutjobs who think it's a pedophile ring normalising sexual violence to kids, but there's an equal likelihood of pizzagate being real.

The demise had already started back then with the advent of Web apps and crappiness and delay of Vista. In fact, MS started losing its power and clout way back in early 2000s, even if the effects were not very evident until much later.

I believe most use the "experience" method. At least for the top sites such facebook, twitter, instagram, google, youtube etc. I even receive links from Apple news so I guess the "news" are moving to some kind of native experience too. Not to mention music services(i.e. spotify)
