Within the last month I got an action cam and have started to edit videos to post on Youtube. Mostly "HOWTO" videos, because I've learned so much by watching HOWTO videos. I'm just finishing up a major remodel of my kitchen, with youtube videos being a large contributing factor to my success.

Kdenlive I haven't tried yet, but is on my short list to try.

I've been using LightWorks under Linux and it works pretty well. I mean, I have nothing else to compare it to, but I'm doing 4K30fps video, and a friend of mine tells me that his Macbook Pro with Adobe tools isn't up to the task. I'm running on a 5 year old PC I had in the closet (870K CPU, 16GB RAM, Radeon, SSD), and it works fairly well.

The only downside of Lightworks so far has been that to export to Youtube at 4K you have to "subscribe", you can't just buy the software. You can do your editing and play with it, and export 720p video.

But to export 4K, you have to either pay $25/mo or $170/year. I wasn't sure how much I'd like editing video, so I didn't want to pay $170. so I did the $25 for a month. I'm really enjoying it, but I kind of wish I could just pay $200-$300 and be done with it. Which I realize isn't rational, because that'll buy a lot of $25 months.

Other ones I want to try: Kdenlive, Davinci Resolve (tried it and it segfaulted, $170/year), Cinelerra (looks kind of crappy), Flowblade. Pitivi looks to be abandoned. Maybe I should try Blender, but I don't want to do any 3D stuff, don't want to get sidetracked.

There's also an online NL video editor that my daughter has used for school: wevideo. She showed it to me after seeing me running LightWorks and recognizing the workflow. I'm dealing with 75-200GB though, don't think that's going to work for online. Smaller video will probably work, my daughter uses it to voice-over a series of photos turned into video.

There are a few rough edges, but Lightworks has mostly let me, as a neophyte video guy, to make great videos. Took me an hour to import an MP3 this weekend though.
I'm not the OP, but I do work pushing buttons in healthcare. In our company incoming faxes are OCR'ed and routed to the proper person by e-mail.

I can't say how well it works because nobody's faxed me (nor should anyone), but since every employee gets HIPAA training, I don't think there's much cause for worry about misdirected faxes.

this. I've been front-end for the last several years, and I always tell my managers that front end doesn't need to write for scalability or extensibility (though those are both GOOD!), it needs to first prioritize _replaceability_. Because the "asks" will change dramatically in just a few years, even if the tech doesn't change (and the tech does also change - stupidly fast).

In fact, most backend systems I've seen that are a mess actually work great...if you use them as originally intended. But the current asks are different than those. Software both requires assumptions and doesn't handle changes in assumption well.

Anyone arguing from a point of code purity without acknowledging these facts doesn't persuade me of much. Sadly, this means that in the regular churn we don't get to pull in all the truly valuable points that are left aside with the other items. (See how much of the industry, myself included, is re-learning lessons learned by the early programming pioneers)
It'll be planes, because the running cost per mile travelled is critical to making the whole thing cost effective.

Power consumption and weight of the rig isn't insubstantial, so the smallest planes and gliders can't be used, and after that cost per hour and cost per mile are the key metrics.

Planes can be 10x cheaper by that metric.

To me, this guy sounds like he's suffering from classic burnout. I know because I could have written the exact same thing when I burnt out in undergrad:

"I tried prioritizing my work, focusing on the things I felt the most passionately about, but when I tried to work on the projects at the top of this list I couldn't summon any energy. Yet I spent hours and hours thinking obsessively about the ultimate point of my work."

I mean, heck, the guy said he was reading 50 (no doubt challenging) books a year on his work. That's insane.

It's pretty simple: you can't work at an insane pace forever, and eventually your subconscious will rebel and stop working with you.

In my case, it felt like my intentions and actions were connected by a plastic gear, and I had spent so many years jamming that gear as hard as I could that it stripped the teeth off of it. My intentions could spin as hard as they wanted to, but eventually I just found it impossible to do anything.
If I may, I would add that it is (obviously) unheard of computer viruses sent by FAX, whilst - besides the "benign" (if we can call it so) spam - a generic hotel e-mail is bombarded by phishing attempts and more generally "check this attachment (enclosed invoice)" or "booking confirmation check the attached image for credit card number" kind of letters, so, besides the time needed to open the e-mail, the e-mails are anyway a "risk".

The worst that can happen with a FAX is that the "attacker" can make you consume some paper and printer ink.

>> You were very specific about how you’d break up Google and the rest. How would you break up Apple?

> Apple, you’ve got to break it apart from their App Store. It’s got to be one or the other. Either they run the platform or they play in the store. They don’t get to do both at the same time. So it’s the same notion.

>> Pulling that apart, the App Store is the method by which Apple keeps the iPhone secure. It’s integrated into the platform. How would you propose that Apple and Google distribute apps if they don’t run the store?

> Well, are they in competition with others who are developing the products? That’s the problem all the way through this, and it’s what you have to keep looking for.

> If you run a platform where others come to sell, then you don’t get to sell your own items on the platform because you have two comparative advantages. One, you’ve sucked up information about every buyer and every seller before you’ve made a decision about what you’re going to sell. And second, you have the capacity — because you run the platform — to prefer your product over anyone else’s product. It gives an enormous comparative advantage to the platform.

The implications of downtime must be considered in a business context — otherwise this kind of discussion makes little sense. You need to set service level objectives (SLOs) for your business.

In some businesses, your SLOs will force you to implement high-availability solutions. In other businesses, your users are not paying for high availability, and you are doing nothing wrong by using a single server, assuming you can recover from a failure in a predictable amount of time, meet your SLOs and not lose data in the process.

I agree with the article author: engineers tend to go way overboard, and often nobody asks the really important question: who will pay for those tight SLOs?
I agree, this sounds disappointing to me as well. My issue is how they're positioning themselves, which is basically a hyper-growth startup where you can get rich (but only 100x richer, because we're not greedy like other startups) but we're also a non-profit here to benefit humanity so don't tax us like those evil corporations. What really bothers me though is I don't know if they honestly believe what they're saying or if it's just a marketing ploy, because honestly it's so much worse if they're deluding themselves.

Do you have plans to integrate with public & semi-private CPOs? (charge point operators)

We are a startup CPO. I'm thinking about some of our multi-res customers who installed stations in visitor parking. They have asked us to list their stations publicly so they can recoup their initial costs. Your platform might be a good fit for this.

YouTube is not really a SPA as in React or Vue. It looks like they use something similar to TurboLinks or Intercooler: https://youtube.github.io/spfjs/

Edit for downvoters: Ok, technically, YouTube is a SPA. What I meant, in the context of this discussion, is that YouTube uses a technique similar to what GitHub does, where the server returns fragments of HTML.

I'm struggling to see how you think having to make manual adjustments every 30 seconds is "under control". Check the flight profile, it was never under control.

Every time MCAS trimmed down, the pilot trimmed up which resulted in two things: MCAS stopped trimming down, and the stabilizer was adjusted up. That's not a runaway situation.

What did the pilots on the four previous flights encounter?

The previous pilots ran into MCAS trimming the stabilizer down inappropriately. They wrote it up as a speed trim (STS) failure. The crew on the fatal flight read STS and was probably thinking STS when they crashed. Unlike the undocumented MCAS inputs, STS can be disabled by moving the control column.

Did they not follow procedure correctly by overriding it?

There was no procedure, MCAS was undocumented.

Manual trim would only get adjusted a only few times during a regular flight

You're almost never going to crank the trim wheels by hand but an NG pilot may be used to having to add input to counter STS.

The process to manually override trim on a 737 that should have been followed:

The pilots were presented with more than just uncommanded trim adjustments, they were presented with multiple, seemingly unrelated, failures. The failed AoA measurement meant they had no idea how fast they were going (new behavior on the MAX, see the repeated queries they made to the ATC), one of the stick shakers was going off (unsure if plane is going to stall and fall out of the sky), and there was probably a warning about the "elevator feel" system on EICAS like on the previous flight.

When faced only with uncommanded trim, sure, they probably would've thought STS because that's the only system Boeing bothered to document. In an ideal world the pilots would've recognized that this wasn't STS. In reality the pilots were busy triaging a variety of symptoms because Boeing did not make appropriate warning / status indications standard equipment on the MAX nor did Boeing actually document that MCAS exists (except in Brazil).

The only error that the Lion Air crew made was in not being clairvoyant.
> macOS has tried and failed

I, along with many millions of people, are using spaces and fullscreen apps daily with no issue. I have used i3 and sway before, and I much prefer the macOS UX. To say that it has failed is sheer arrogance.

On what do you base such a ridiculous claim?
> Most meetings are a waste of time because no decision is made in them.

Most meetings are a waste of time, true.

No decisions are made in most meetings, also true.

But the former is not caused by the latter; making decisions isn't the only productive reason to have a meeting.
In tech people embrace micro-services despite complexity trying to arrange things to work. We do it because this way we are forced to deal with it, to negotiate between teams and services. We embrace that complexity and uncover it.

In governing we are trying to cover up this complexity with moving decision making into higher levels. Such covering up does not solve complexity, it just makes it look like it is not happening, but it is still out there.
> This is why working in infra is so awful, people follow this principle for years and then invest a million a year in an infra team whose hands they tie.

Yep, having to wait for development resource to build a scalable system because the legacy is working just fine.... and then the legacy falls over and burns because it exceeded capacity like you warned it would a year before it did, and the business guys suddenly want you to fix it yesterday because now every account manager is out their end of month reports...

A significant downside of Scrum as a methodology is that it assumes product owners listen to the engineering team as well as the sales people yelling at them 24/7 for latest feature X before making prioritisation decisions.

Startups can’t afford not to use PaaS. Every second of time they piss away managing their home brew platform is a second they aren’t spending time making their product something people actually want.

Managing infrastructure is a solved problem for any startup. Simply spin something up on a heroku-like platform and be done. Anything else is wasting precious time and money.

I would also want to filter out plane crashes caused by interference: suicides, bombings, hijackings, birdstrike and the like. This is because I fly happier knowing that mechanical or electrical error is so very very low. This would include however cases such as Air France Flight 447, which was a combination of faulty readings and human error. So, the recent Ethiopia and Lion air crashes would definitely be included, though maybe these were avoidable if the pilots were better educated? So I guess I'd need to see three categories: outside interference, pilot error, mechanical/electrical error.
Nonsense. According to this Japanese Wikipedia page, e-moji in a digital character set first appeared in 1959:

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/絵文字文化

> 歴史的には、最初に絵文字がフォントに搭載されたのはかなり古くからあり、文字コードに搭載されるようになったのは、1959年のCO-59コードで野球ボールが採用されたことが始まりである。

"Historically, the first inclusion of emoji in fonts already having happened very long ago, if we consider the inclusion of an emoji in character codes, that started with 1959's CO-59 code's adoption of a baseball symbol."

As far as the origin of the word emoji (絵文字), this page:

https://kotobank.jp/word/%E7%B5%B5%E6%96%87%E5%AD%97-1770

attributes an early use of "emonji" to author Tsubouchi Shōyō, in an 1891 work called Harunoya Manpitsu (春迺屋漫筆), in reference to ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.
Yup, I totally agree (I'm the creator @pirate on Github).

I personally don't like automated setup scripts, which is one of the reasons I spent a bunch of time on our Manual Install docs: https://github.com/pirate/ArchiveBox/wiki/Install

Pip, apt, & homebrew packages are the install methods we're moving towards currently. I just caved to user demand in the short-term and added a helper script about a year ago as a crutch until we finished releasing the real packages.

Stay tuned for updates on that progress here: https://github.com/pirate/ArchiveBox/issues/120
Yeap. Technically, it is encoder (a thing which generates AV1 files).

However, next-gen fast AV1 decoder (a thing which will play video), dav1d is not Rust-based.

Not OP, but given the context, it seems OP is using infrastructure to mean "all prerequisites to doing ML/data analysis work."

Some of that (e.g. datawarehousing, etc.) is easier to outsource; other parts (data acquisition from your product, ETL design, etc.) are necessarily bespoke to your company an thus not readily "buyable." I understand OP to be arguing roughly "you can get a good DBA for much cheaper than you can get a good ML Engineer (much less a good ML Engineer who's ALSO a good DBA), so there's no sense in making Database management part of the Data Scientist role."

You read it here first: Faxing is the new Vinyl.

(Seriously: I like how it talked about fax being more secure than email while also talking about computer-based fax services.)
I disagree. I regularly do a sanity check for my business, and it always turns out that two physical $40/month servers make a lot more sense for me than any PaaS offering, or even just AWS EC2.

Guess what, managing a small amount of servers (two) isn't that hard and doesn't take a lot of time, and $40/month gets you really fast CPUs and lots of RAM these days.

As always, generalized absolute statements make no sense: everything should be analyzed in context, and based on specific metrics (in my case: money).
Hi Kevin!

Thanks for chiming in here! I only just saw ArchiveBox hit HN while I was away for the weekend. Just responding to everything now...

(@everyone in this thread, go check out Polar, it's awesome!)
Right now 30% of the global market uses AV1 enabled Chrome and Firefox on desktops.
The pirate scene is about playing stuff on current consumer hardware. Not to mention, they also need the hardware to encode stuff. Neither of which is attractive for av1 at the moment. Some pockets of the pirate scene used to be about open standards, but I think a lot of that died out. One tracker that I know moved from flac audio in remuxes for a long time to dts-hd ma. I don't remember the exact reasons. Maybe multi-channel flac isn't good, or people have better luck with receivers and dts-hd ma.

This Aug 2015 article says US hotel room supply broke 5 million rooms:

https://www.businesstravelnews.com/Strategic-Sourcing/U-S-Ho...

and this Mar 2015 infographic on HotelNewsNow.com shows over the 10 biggest brands having over 4 million rooms, worldwide.

http://www.hotelnewsnow.com/Articles/25511/10-largest-hotel-...

Some of those brands have hit 1 million rooms each, so I think it's safe to say that the vast majority of rooms in the US are able to be reserved online, and even the boutique hotels not affiliated with bigger brands have an online presence in my experience.

The only hotels I've seen not online are the low budget motels or smaller lifestyle businesses in a few niche locales here and there. Even then, I've seen them on booking.com where you enter your details, and booking.com emails or faxes the motel operator the details of your reservation.

Nginx to Be Acquired by F5 Networks
Reminds me of an article I saw sometime back on HN: "Manual work is a bug" (https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=3197520). Just like you, the author's advice is to go iteratively, with the first step being documentation. As documentation improves you act more as a cpu running instructions, at which points automation becomes clearer, and so on. Not everything can or should be automated, but we definitely could do more.

If you want to just list only negative decisions made by Tesla or Musk and then call for Musk resignations that's fine.

You could also list some of the positives from the company like having the best selling EV in the world or making the highest rated cars of all time. In which case it seems more like Musk is doing fine.
