Uploading a video is trivial while captioning still requires significant effort. Most organizations either opt to manually transcribe internally (slow, repetitive, mindnumbing work) or outsource (expensive). Machine transcription is available but still fairly technical.

Transcripts are useful beyond hearing-impaired people, but the cost realistically must be balanced with the organizations other responsibilities...
Do you have a source on the orangutan grader? That sounds like an hilarious read.
Good point with broadcast TV. For shows I enjoy on Netflix, I'll usually miss the latest season on live broadcast if I forget to set the DVR to catch the series. If I wait until episode 3, I've already missed 1 & 2. So I can hope for enough re-runs to catch them all or wait longer for the series to migrate to Netflix where I can watch on my own schedule.

I also find entertainment in watching game streamers, but I catch them on Youtube at my own schedule as well. I've never attempted to subscribe to Twitch and watch live.
I'm curious as to how it displays the images without first downloading the full size first (and thus not saving bandwidth), is anyone able to explain this?

Instapaper is still not available to users in EU. It's been to months. I started to use Pocket because of this and now I don't think I'm coming back.
In today's reality expecting compensation through the form of ad-views while simultaneously posting said work freely is just an idiot's game. Don't post it freely on the open web, a place where it is common for browsers and users to use technology to customize the way they consume the data presented to them, if you don't want it viewed in a customized (ads removed, text only, style-modified, etc) way- whether it's for security, bandwidth saved, performance, or the ability to be able to actually read the article without being constantly annoyed and driven away from the content by things pulling my attention, or all of the above.

Attention is a valuable resource and not one I'm going to give freely to ads that try to STEAL it from me. Computer performance and bandwidth savings are also valuable to me. My ISP gives me a cap. Expecting me to download tens of MB of data for KB of content is a no-go. Blocking ads and scripts can also be extremely beneficial for those that need accessibility.

If you want compensation, require it, put up a paywall. If your site dies because that business model is not sustainable, good riddance. It's time the ad model dies and dies permanently without a tear shed for its demise.

California also has the highest CoL-adjusted poverty rate in th nation, and, IIRC, a fairly high unadjusted poverty rate. [0]

California had an enormous capacity to deliver quality of life to it's citizens, but outside of capitalists and elite workers, it's pretty much failing to deliver.

[0] The good aggregate performance coupled with the intense needs created by the poor distributional performance hurts CA in various federal funding formulas, where federal cost sharing goes down with better aggregate economic performance.

Since the start of this year I've been keeping a similar journal. Instead of opening an editor to write a single line to a text file, I just print the arguments of a command to the end of a file and prefixed with a timestamp. Since there's no need to review or save the file, there's no interruption in what I'm doing. Logging things to the file feels like shooting things into the ether and I end up doing it constantly throughout the day.

> I would wager low double digits.

I know of more than half a dozen who are just Super Mario Maker streamers.

I know, my pure happenstance, of two cooking streamers who have built communities.

I think low double digits is a low ball estimate. There are more successful retro gaming streamers than that, I have no idea what the contemporary game twitch scene is like.

No one ever talks about 300 viewer streamers, they make for lousy news stories. Drama with super successful streamers, and articles like this one that talk about failure at the bottom.

I read HN regularly, but I'm pretty much a lurker on all social channels. When there's a conversation relevant to me or the products I work on, I like to jump in to represent the relevant company or products.

With respect to follow ups, I usually respond and move on to other things. I do my best to be open and transparent in online communities like these.

Moving onto your privacy concerns there are two things I'd like to say...

* Instapaper has always done hard deletes of user data when you delete articles or your account, it's been done that way since the Marco days.

* We have never monetized using user data, or developed any type of special targeted advertising for Instapaper.
Huh, so apparently the day with the highest percentage of mean comments is Sunday.

Anyone want to have a guess as to why that may be the case? Personally, I'd expect people to least happy on Monday morning or something, not the second day they usually get a rest that week.

Harder to snoop? You said it yourself, "[t]o most customers 90% of 'the internet' is the services from these [few] providers."

So we're making snooping by ISPs more difficult by using a technique that only works well precisely because so much of the modern internet is centralized behind a few hosting service providers.

Encrypted SNI will be at best a lateral move. Much time will be spent (especially by small-time providers and open source stack authors) trying to keep up with the privacy enhancements offered by the big hosting providers just so they can lay claim to the dubious benefit of enhanced privacy.

More likely, these enhancements will be leveraged to centralize hosting even further. The more complex the protocol stack, the more costly it is to avoid using centralized providers.

And much like with browser fingerprinting, whatever marginal benefits exist will be quickly erased once the existing tracking systems build and maintain databases that map IPs to likely sites. Nobody has even tried to demonstrate that this isn't feasible with aggregators--everybody just assumes it's not practical. And that ignores the reality that countries like China can force companies like Google, Apple, and others to host services domestically, making encrypted SNI of little value from day 1.

I absolutely oppose encrypted SNI because it adds significant complexity for little benefit over the long term. Worse, it will likely hasten centralization. A proper solution would be to fix TLS so SNI always happens over an encrypted channel. But as with TLS 1.3 0-RTT, in reality performance is allowed to trump security. That's the calculus of the very same organizations pushing encrypted SNI.[1]

As somebody who has written DNS, HTTP, MySQL, RTP, RTSP, SMTP, and even HTML parsing stacks from the ground-up, we need to focus on making these things simpler. We need to shift our efforts to writing implementations using specialized languages and techniques for software verification so we can write provably safe and correct implementations[2] rather than chasing feature after feature.

[1] In fairness, these organizations are diverse and if the encrypted SNI folks had their way they may also have come up with a better solution. But that doesn't justify encrypted SNI on its merits.

[2] Rust doesn't even begin to solve this. As ugly as buffer overflows are, when it comes to tracking and data exfiltration they're hardly the biggest culprit. And in any event Rust only solves a subset of overflows. Techniques for building circular-reference data structures in Rust (i.e. using indirection through array indexes--basically pointers to a specialized heap) can and _will_ result in similar issues. At the end up the day, for core infrastructure software no general purpose language suffices. For core infrastructure, there's no avoiding doing things the hard way. Core infrastructure software needs to be developed in the same way SQLite is developed, but that will never happen as long as these standards are moving targets that rely on many moving pieces.
There's no magic, Browsh is just designed to be run on a remote server where internet is fast and cheap and then accessed over SSH or the browser client from a local network that is likely slow and/or expensive.
I agree with you! Something I've wondered, though, is how he would propose writing a formal specification for, say, a graphical application. Does anyone know?
It goes through Browsh's proxy.

While I think Browsh is very interesting, you can immediately see a couple issues with this. When I tried it last week, it worked pretty well for a bit, and then I got an error that all the servers were busy.

We have not and will not accuse anyone of anything. From a legal perspective, nothing new to see here, people have been posting reports of food poisoning on social media for years, Yelp, Twitter, Facebook so on. We are just enabling it in a way that more easily facilitates positive outcomes.

As for a truly negative outcome e.g. a pronouncement by a public health agency that Restaurant X caused a foodborne illness outbreak. This is not possible with a handful of people, as it requires microbiologists, epidemiologists, environmental health experts so on. Unless that handful of people can credibly fool the science, and all these expert participants.

We do have a great law firm, and we are advised as long as we remain a platform for people to report there is zero risk, and this has been tested many times by companies with deep pockets.
But a Monopoly on "stuff" and "moving stuff around" is a much more valuable Monopoly (pretty much by definition) than one in "eyeballs to advertise stuff to". Ultimately, the majority of Google's and Facebooks profits are from the advertisement of retail, services, and digital goods, which Amazon is trying (and doing very well) to monopolize. Sure, it may be harder to get there but the rewards are much better if you do.

Would you rather be Pullitzer (advertising magnate) or Vanderbilt (transportation)? I'll take the latter every time from a pure $$$ standpoint. Bezos is actually trying to be both.
That's crazy.
Let's say the average home price in the U.S. is $200K. If this was cash, he could buy 750,000 houses. There's about 250 million people over 18 in the U.S. so Bezos could buy a house for roughly 1 in every 330 adults in the U.S.

That's just unfathomable.

I hope this works out, but it's easy to see how it can be abused. When those abuses are addressed, the fix will undoubtedly lean on the usual fundamentals behind investing in both non-profit and for-profit ventures: due diligence on the idea and team deploying it, taking risks, hard work, and a good bit of luck.

This image shows a small amount of flash (extra material where two halves of a mold meet) on the edge near the screw. The main question was how the plastic housing was manufactured. The piece I gave him had no visible flash. It was either two pieces attached together (with an adhesive, solvent bonding, or ultrasonic welding) or the metal plug components were inserted into the mold and the plastic was injected (overmolding).

He suggested overmolding because there was no seam to be found. Even feeling the edge felt like one piece. There was some misalignment on the screw hole though, which was the reason it couldn't have been overmolding.

This is true, with the caveat that most points are clustered. It is possible to translate from one point to another (the "one SAP true way", for instance) within this space by re-engineering processes. Parent's point is - this is easier than most people assume - especially those who say "our business is unique"

That's bill of materials cost. What's killing Tesla is labor cost in assembly. Tesla has about 10,000 employees in Fremont, to produce about 3500 cars a week., per Bloomberg.[1] (No, not 5000 cars; they got up to 4500 once, though.)

Modern auto assembly plants typically run about 15-30 labor hours per car.[2] Tesla's Fremont plant is somewhere over 110, even in good weeks. In bad weeks, the ratio is much worse.

The point of the teardown is that the design isn't inherently expensive. If Tesla ever gets their assembly plant working properly, they could make money.

Musk commented "go to Ford, it looks like a morgue", after apparently visiting the Ford Rouge plant. Ford's PR person replied "No doubt the vibe is funky in that 'makeshift tent,' but it's not bad either across the street at the #FordRouge plant where a high quality, high-tech F-150 rolls off the line every 53 seconds like clockwork." That's what's supposed to happen. Cars coming off the line at a steady rate, union workers not being worked to death.

In one of my old jobs, we used to test and run a lot of different news headlines or email titles with different messaging. We tracked and measured as much as we could.

The depth and breath of these ads almost feels like this might have as much been a research project as much as a process to impact the US elections or to create discontent among the voters.

I wish there was more info or better clustering on other filters on these ads like locations, age, etc. It would tell us how they were approaching this.
As nice of a theory it is, birth order has not been shown to affect personality at all.

> "Contemporary empirical research shows that birth order does not influence the Big Five personality traits."

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

The fact that such a big environmental factor doesn't effect personality at all, to me suggests that personality is mostly genetic. Anecdotally, It sure seems like kids have very distinct personalities from a very start.

Another anecdote (that personality is more nature rather than nurture), is the stories of identical twins adopted to different families. When reunited as adults, they seem to have the same personality. One such story:

> "It's not just our taste in music or books; it goes beyond that. In her, I see the same basic personality. And yet, eventually we had to realize that we're different people with different life histories."

> Corporations, at least the for-profit ones, are principally amoral legal constructs, which I find all the more terrifying than the notion that they could be evil.

I had a pretty spirited argument that was ongoing for about a week with my friend, who was my co-founder at the time, where my position was similar to yours. (Note: this is all in the context of U.S. Law and Government) His argument was that it's impossible for any entity to be amoral because whether a corporation or person, both are treated as persons or entities meaning that they can provide their will. So, once a corporation reaches a point it indeed can be moral because it goes beyond a legal instrument and is dictated by a collective staff, leadership, and/or stakeholders. He would have said that in the case of a solo entrepreneur's company, it would just be an abstracted will of the entrepreneur. I eventually got to the point where I couldn't argue against the legal precedence of Corporate personhood. [0] I think there is a point when a corporation outgrows their founder and becomes self-sustaining where it's corporate culture dictates it's "morals".

> The last big project failure I had was due to the company selecting the right technology for the problem, but the wrong one for the company culture.

The company culture is a central piece of any business problem you are addressing, if your solution doesn't address it, it isn't addressing the actual problem, but at best a lower-dimensional projection.
Ah, but even X libs take up a non-trivial amount of space on a system. AND you need a whole different browser installed to even use it, since Browsh is basically just a wrapper for firefox.

Why not keep your dongles at work, then?

I would point out that modern non-Apple PCs don't tend to have HDMI ports, either. They either have mini-HDMI ports, or OTG ports. The dongle requirement is nearly-universal for connecting modern devices to projectors, to the point that you may as well just buy a set of dongles for each projector, rather than for each laptop.

> It's next to the SD card slot where I can put in the SD cards from my rather nice digital camera

Is there a reason you can't plug the camera into the computer (using a USB cable) to transfer the photos instead? That's what I see the photographers at my own office doing.

(I asked one just now, and they said: if you're trying to transfer photos outdoors, moving an SD card also has the chance of pushing dust into the SD card slot on the camera. They say they've had SD card slots wear out/break before. And for cameras that take micro-SD, when moving the card they're always a little paranoid they might drop the thing on the floor and lose it. All in all, cables are just easier if it's your own camera and your own computer. SD cards are just for passing off to other people.)
