Your edit doesn't go far enough. He encouraged hate against the parents of the children killed at the Sandyhook mass shooting. Yes, Jones has a right to be a crackpot, but it ends when it infringes on the rights of the people Jones' audience harassing.
I remember writing documentation circa 2002 for a development environment that required Visual Studio 6.0 and as part of the install notes I wrote something along the lines of -

"During installation constantly move the mouse in a circular motion over the installation window. This speeds up installation roughly 2-3x"

Good times :)
So, my current setup for this is as follows:

1) I plug in a cheapy USB Blu-ray drive plugged into my laptop (Running ubuntu 18.04).

2) I use the software MakeMKV. MakeMKV is open-source-ish; the license is still proprietary, but you can grab the Linux source and compile it yourself off of their forum.

The nice thing about MakeMKV (and the wonderful Matroska format in general) is that it'll retain all the audio tracks and subtitles, which is especially useful for anime. MakeMKV doesn't do transcoding or anything (as far as I know); it just breaks the DRM and puts it into an MKV file.

3) I upload the file to the NFS share of my server

4) I have a script running in my that listens to a folder for new mkv files. If it sees one, it moves it to a working directory, then does `ffmpeg -i $FILE -c:v libx264 -c:a flac -crf 20 ~/processed/rendered_$FILE`

This runs on repeat in the background, and I sometimes have a queue of a few dozen things at a time in that folder (if I'm ripping TV shows or something). As of right now, if one of the nodes crashes, there's no ability to restart and I have to manually move the file back to the queue folder. I've been working on writing a thing with RabbitMQ to fix that, but it's not done yet.

5) Once it's done processing, I manually move the file to the folder hierarchy for Emby, and I typically delete the raw blu-ray source, since those files can be gigantic.

---------

Handbrake is great, and you can tell it to retain multiple tracks and subtitles and whatnot (so it might actually be totally fine for what you're doing), but it's not nearly as versatile as ffmpeg, and as a result I don't really use it for anything more than a quick one-off conversion.

EDIT:
Just realized that you said that you want to retain the menus and whatnot...I think you could get away with using something like ddrescue for that.
The digital town square is where the people are at. Moving to other streaming sites is more like having your expression relegated to some dusty back road.

If YouTube wants to be editor over the content they host, then they ought to be subject to the same liabilities as a publisher. If they want to be considered a platform then should be forced to remain neutral. The conflation of these mutually exclusive roles serves money at the expense of everyone else.
I think ippsec recently set up a mirror for himself where you can download all of his videos, but his videos on youtube are tremendous help on my way to OSCP. He does walkthroughs of boxes hosted on hackthebox shortly after they retire.

It's a shame to see this type of content at risk of being blacklisted.
came here to see what the alternative is.

Need to get some big names on platforms like this, or create a new channel/new star/from this.
Use. Another. Platform.

It's still not illegal to switch vendors.
I'm not a vegan, but if you think of veganism as more of a "harm reduction" approach to eating, it doesn't matter whether you define plants to be conscious or not. As in, it causes relatively more harm to a large number of organisms to eat an animal as food (the animals are presumably going to eat plants anyway), versus cutting out the middle man and just eating plants.
The TSA got rid of all the backscatter x-ray machines, so the body scanners aren't using ionizing radiation anymore. This was the biggest health concern with the old devices, and I was really glad to see those gone.

The newer scanners use millimeter wave RF, which is non-ionizing and much safer. The primary concern with RF is classic thermal effects, which shouldn't be significant at low power levels.

There's still plenty of room for research on the topic, but no direct causal link to any health effects have been found with these systems at present.

(That said, the TSA agents are also standing next to the baggage x-ray machines all day. And I do still see backscatter x-ray body scanners in use in other countries.)
According to a Google lookup, unhealthy foods are cheaper at about $1.50 per day. Also if people cut back on quantity consumed it may be adequate despite being unhealthy food. I think most people eat too many calories per day for the amount of physical activity.
It's called selective enforcement.
VSCode June 2019 (v1.36)
An exception interrupts the entire flow of the program.

In go if something is truly exceptional then you can panic, but most of the time an error is non-fatal outside of a particular request (request not just related to a web request).

I agree, many people do errors incorrectly, but `try` does not make them suddenly correct either.

It's quite healthy for the community to have this discussion because this is introducing not just a new built-in function/expressiony thing, but also a means of flow control.
If consciousness is a byproduct of advanced organization of organic matter, I imagine we can use technology to create simplified versions that lack the complexity required for consciousness while still being nutritious.

I'm happy to see your well-articulated post at the top.
Further, this tool is designed to turn screenshots taken from papers into LaTeX code. It's faster than any editor because the user does not have to enter the equation at all.
Thank you. If Project Veritas is indeed what OP was referencing, then the claim can be easily dismissed without viewing the "source" footage, given Veritas' and O'Keefe's extensive history of selective editing, fraudulent claims, dubious methods and borderline entrapment[1].

Edit: If you're going to downvote me, note that I have no problem discussing why we should lend credence to claims from an individual with a long history of fraudulent claims. I am genuinely interested in hearing why we should trust anything PV produces going forward.

> Probably the best reason Silicon Valley can understand to start thinking twice about whether they want to deplatform all the non-SV-liberals.

I suspect that YouTube's long-term strategy is to morph into a hybrid of Netflix and cable, and YouTubers who broadcast opinions outside the range of acceptable opinions to SV and advertisers are just an impedance to that goal. What they will do is boil the frog by making small changes over a period of time that all appear "reasonable" on their own.

Demonetization was one step in boiling the frog, but hard to argue against because it's in the best interest of advertisers and videos weren't being deleted. Then came changes to the algorithm that promotes videos, and now YouTube believes I "want" to watch more cable news and significantly less of Tim Pool or Joe Rogan. I'm surprised they haven't done more shadow-banning, and maybe that will be one of the following steps.

More incremental changes will be made, probably over several years, until all the interesting voices are gone and no one can point to any one event that made everyone except the left-wing and Rated-G channels leave. And the bulk of users probably won't care since they've been transitioned and conditioned to the resurgence of mainstream blather they'll be selling.
When they have more influence on citizens than governments, perhaps we should revisit our definition of what public means.

In the other hands, there has been already ideology ban and promotion of their own, and recently in a leaked video, they affirmed how they will stop promoting certain political views and promote the ones they find correct for the 2020 elections.

Laugh now at the leolingua described by George Orwell, what is freedom and what is public?
I downvoted you because this is false.

Facebook is just as restrictive as Google. Vimeo doesn't compare to YouTube in any way. To follow the analogy of the parent comment, Vimeo is like only being able to publish on the Amazon app store.

If we accept this ownership of the digital space by corporations, our future is looking very bleak.
Everyone still get the experience of driving behind one of these, every so often. You can smell the partially burnt hydrocarbons trailing 1/2 mile behind these things.
It's quite possible that the people who are dying of overdoses and suicides are precisely the people for whom the economy sucks.

70K deaths is about 0.25% of the U.S. population. It would only take the economy being sucky enough to seem hopeless for a few percent of the population to produce a meaningful increase in deaths of despair for this number of people. The economy could be doing great for the majority of people, and this would only rub it in further for a marginalized group.
> AWS spot instances for gpu can have availability issues as well or sometimes be priced higher than on demand (still trying to understand that one).

You always pay the spot market price, not your bid. Your instance gets killed if somebody outbids you. A higher bid increases the probability that your instances don't get killed while at the same time letting you pay spot market price.

By bidding above on-demand price, you are speculating that for the majority of the time, nobody else will bid more than the on-demand price. If you're not the only one doing that, spot price can rise above on-demand price.
A new YouTube is needed but accomplishing this with any success the same scale as YT would be near impossible.
I think doing things in a safe method are fine.

Channels like NileRed discuss that this is dangerous, that is dangerous, I'm properly venting and wearing a respirator, I have to do these steps so this is safe to dispose of etc. That is safe, channels like this are commendable.

Channels like BackyardScientist and Cody's Lab where you are making your own nitro and whacking it with a steak knife or making weapons firing rather fast moving (and heavy) projectiles in your backayrd in the suburbs... yeahhh not so much (or worse, the time DemolitionRanch fired a proper firearm inside his HOUSE).

Channels like TheSlowMoGuys and Hydraulic Press Channel/Beyond the Press are the grey area. They both use some safety precautions and both often stress "don't try this yourself" or some such, but they also do stuff that is still pretty dangerous and questionable at best like getting inside giant water balloons for Slow and making rocket engines out of "play doo" for Beyond.

The word "insurance" is missing from this article, which reads like a sponsored promotion for Neighbor. So, a simple warning to those who think it's an appealing revenue source:

Commercial storage of other people's property in/on your rented/leased/mortgaged/owned housing/land may invalidate your liability insurance as currently written. Please ensure that your personal liability insurance is unharmed by commercial storage of third-party property, and that you are in compliance with any terms of inspection/audit/safety (such as fire sprinklers) that it demands of you in this scenario.
There is no reason font designers can’t create variable width font faces that optimize character distinctions and important features while reading code. Many font faces even have settings that allow you to opt into making characters more distinguishable.

You are right about navigating between lines in a variable width fonts. However that is a problem with many text boxes on the web (including slack and github) and I don’t find it that much of a headache. I find it kind of rare that I need to navigate between subsequent lines and maintain the column except maybe at the start of the indentation level.
in the nomenclature i’m used to, scalars, vectors, and matrices are all special cases of tensors. ( they have rank 0,1, and 2 respectively).

what numpy calls it is more or less moot.
By "scheduler", do you mean as in "decides which nodes to run on"?

You can build Service Fabric manifests with XML.
I agree that TBP is overated and is also poorly translated. I could not bring myself to read the next two books.
Why use PoW in combination with PoB (proof of burn) instead of using a dBFT style PoS like tendermint for the blockstack chain?
I was impressed that it bothered to do the math, indicating a truly hateful UI.
I’m a huge fan of America. But if you can scale private transit, why can’t you scale public transit? The political will and people are not behind it. Yet. Mass transit isn’t there to replace private transit, it's there to do things that private transit cannot offer. American life is largely constructed around the motor vehicle, it will take a long time to deconstruct that. Which ought to be the real aim, not to make a better horse/donkey/car.

You're right, my mistake in communication there.

Speed is not a concern for me because it is fast for everything I use the laptop for. I didn't hit snags where things were slow.

I'll update the post later for clarity. Thank you for pointing it out.
Google is going to regret this in a few years, when it needs security experts and they are in short supply (or rather shorter; they are already in short supply). Maybe we should be commoditizing security knowledge, which is what a platform such as you tube is capable of. Besides, there's a whole internet full of resources, and this isn't going to stop the script kiddies. The real issue is the nation state hackers from Iran, N. Korea, China, Russia. They are the problem.

Companies I know of and that people I know work with have been the victim of ransomware many times. It is almost always Iran or N. Korea, and companies I know of have even been victimized twice (they took a look while inside and found another vector; the second time, they knew they had insurance and would pay again). Then there's the espionage - if you're bigger or have something China or Russia wants, they'll go after you.

The FBI classifies this as terrorism, and yet does nothing. These are acts of war, and we keep getting stepped on because our government does nothing. Most of us know fully well that our three-letter agencies have exploits capable of disabling just about any thing; it's time they start knocking Iranian, North Korean, Chinese, and Russian infrastructure offline as a retaliatory measure. Each time we trace another attack to one of them, a power plant goes down (or something alike). This is the only solution I can see.
I'd bet that some employees at Google got their interest and possibly initial exposure to infosec by watching, or reading similar (like Phrack 'zine back in the late 80s). Perhaps they're even doing very important things, like working for Project Zero. It would be interesting to know how many people who work in infosec started "on the dark side." I don't think it would be rare, at all. The few actual whitehats I've met sure didn't start out as white hats, and got their start with info publicly available.
Processed unhealthy foods are cheaper than processed healthy(er) foods.

Beans and grains are cheap. Staple fruits and vegetables are cheap. Chicken is cheap (especially dark meat). Eggs are cheap. You can feed a family of 4 a very healthy diet for ~$100 a month if you're willing to put in the work sourcing and cooking.

That's the crux of the issue, though. Food deserts combined with a lack of nutritional and culinary knowledge - maybe a lack of time to prepare healthy meals - is what's killing the average American diet, middle class and below.

Side note: if you raise your kids on hot dogs, chicken nuggets and soda every day then you will possibly ruin their palette for life. We now have people that find drinking water disgusting, because all they've ever drank is Diet Coke.

Also, the documentary "The Salt of the Earth" (directed by Wim Wenders and Salgado's son Juliano) concludes with the story of this forest: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Salt_of_the_Earth_(2014_fi...

The documentary is stunning. I watch a lot of documentaries, and this is one with the most "impact" that I've ever seen. It's at times difficult to watch, but worth it.
They literally pay people to market these things to children.

You actually name check a 44% sugar cereal that has a cartoon character as a mascot!

The person who invented the flavor described it as having a quality she called "want-more-ishness".
Yeah, you got a point there, I can't think of a good reason why turning on the webcam on a random site would be a privacy/security risk for a random visitor.

I suppose I used the word "paranoid" to imply that it was not entirely logical/reasonable to think so.

Thinking of it, I acquired this attitude of being overly careful since Facebook, face recognition, machine learning, pervasive privacy invasions became the norm on the web. Who knows, maybe there's a way to combine random webcam snippets with other tracking technology to gather even more data about me.

All about Time
It's worth noting that this is true of desktop systems and servers.

Mobile operating systems have per-app sandboxing and per-app storage, not just per-user. But in that case, you probably don't need any more storage encryption than the OS already provides by default.

My guess is this will eventually be fixed by running older apps in separate containers (like how Linux runs on Chromebooks and Windows.)
You may be applying an uneven standard by wanting to ban the speech that turns your stomach, but not the speech that turns the Corporate Overlord's stomachs. You could argue that hacking videos encourage computer crime - the counterargument would be that there are plenty of reasons to talk about something other than to actually encourage people to do it. In fact, Alex Jones' defense in one court case he was in was that he was a satirist.

At the very least, these decisions should be made in court, where the judges are elected and the proceedings are public. Of course that can't happen because the courts have already decided in favor of the speech-miscreants. What Alex Jones was doing is absolutely permitted in our society; and I think there's some wisdom in the reasoning behind why that is.

There's nothing less popular than relativism in the midst of a moral outrage, but you have to bear in mind that some of your favorite things were probably at one time (and could easily become again) moral outrages. Alex Jones could just as easily have been caught "encouraging homosexuality in our children," "fomenting hate against church officials," "advocating against job creation," or anything else that the ruling party was against. You'd just have to change the names, places, and times.
Good grief man. I literally just grepped through my installed packages for '₁', looked for a relatively interesting line with lots of unicode, saw "haversine" and realized it was a simple formula others would understand and that I would be able to find an image of online, and then hit google images looking for it.

The point isn't the algorithm itself. The point is just how using unicode allows you to match the style of an arbitrary algorithm out of a textbook.
I think those that need to apply have any idea the type of organization. ;)
Sure, my point is not to defend governments use of guns, but to point out that facebook’s power derived from its relationship with governments and hence that same power. It isn’t an alternative, but rather a part of the structure.
Good for them. Both MySQL and PostgreSQL are Good^. But supporting both doesn't work and it totally makes sense to focus on one. Personally, I don't generally use PGSQL but my GitLab instance does. Why? It's easy to run a dedicated PGSQL instance for GitLab using Docker. Or... Using AWS RDS. Or... Any number of ways.

(^ Good is relative. People have their opinions on which is subjectively better but at the end of the day, lots of big sites and applications use both options to great success.)
Border Patrol's Oversight of Sick Migrant Children
This just isn't true for several reasons, but I'll pick one and run with it.

Learning to cook is time-consuming and can be frustrating for some people. The skill of cooking is essential to eating better. You really have to learn to make your own food to maximize your health.

How do you expect someone working a full-time minimum-wage job, driving Uber on the side (because I meet almost nobody in rideshares that don't also do something else), taking care of children to find the time to learn to cook? Do they own all of the equipment that they need to be able to cook?

Put simply, they wouldn't be in a position to have to juggle between such terribly paying work and everything else. Many of them probably see fast food as a solution to work more and earn more since their pay is literally hourly. Can you honestly nnot understand why they might prefer the extra $8?

I'm the creator / maintainer of a widely used authentication library, and I also don't know the answer to this.

There have been several issues reported around this, but no one seems to have a good proposal for a solution.

I've also discussed this with security auditors from Cobalt (because they flagged it as an issue), but they also did not propose any solutions (other than using httpOnly cookies instead of tokens, which doesn't really address the issue).
