The Greece and Italian economies were mismanaged. The Euro, in and of itself, had little to do with it. At worst, it removed one tool for dealing with the mismanagement. Far better to manage it well in the first place.

The history of CO2 levels in the atmosphere [1] is a good starting point unless you're arguing that adding CO2 to the atmosphere does not and will not cause warming, which would be a bold position to take.

And why do you even care what some Swedish teenager I'd never heard of until right now is protesting climate change? Why does that matter?

> Law enforcement will always be a compromise.

The problem with the compromise argument is that it only ever goes one way. We had certain law enforcement capabilities in 1965 and civilization didn't collapse. Why would we expect it to collapse if they had exactly the same capabilities today?

Whenever this argument is used, it's always to add new invasions. Databases that were never needed before, facial recognition that was never needed before. Why are they suddenly needed now, just because we can? Moving in only one direction over time isn't balance, it's marching toward a cliff. Meanwhile anything that does improve privacy, like encryption, is used as an excuse for new police powers as well.

It isn't necessary for law enforcement to catch everybody. And they wont anyway. Which is fine, because 99% of their purpose is deterring people from committing serious crimes, which they can do well enough without any fancy new technology.

You don't actually have to catch fugitives as long as being a fugitive ruins your life sufficiently that hardly anybody is willing to do it.
There is an awful lot of human suffering on the scale between current earth conditions, and "venus", which you seem oddly focused on. Venus is a wildly different environment to Earth, several hundreds of degrees hotter. The people you incorrectly called "climate alarmists" are scientists talking about conservative estimates of single-digit degree warming over a century. Smell test based on intuition don't really cut it.

It's also worth acknowledging that Earth has had very different climates in the past. Sure, we can celebrate the fact that our sparse nomadic ancestors survived and adapted through gradual environmental change. That tells us almost nothing about the ability of our globe spanning, voraciously energy hungry, WMD-wielding civiliation's ability to do the same of much, much shorter time frames.

I don't quite understand the "well Earth will be fine" form of denialism. Sure, Earth would survive a total nuclear war over geological timeframes too. That doesn't really mean anything to humans as an advanced society that plans to stick around for more than a few hundred years.
Thanks to content owners/distributors we’ll see a resurgence in piracy.

After Fox, Disney et al pulled content from Netflix, coupled with regional restrictions, there’s literally nothing to watch on Netflix in Sweden except Netflix’s own original content.

Hulu isn’t available outside of US.

HBO is just as bad as Netflix outside the US.

Even iTunes Store is subject to regional restrictions (but the selection yhere is still much larger)

It's entirely relevant. When I said layoffs happen in bursts, what do you think that means? It means, for a time, you stop doing something you used to do. But as time goes on you'll find new things to do. Some of those will hopefully work out. Others won't. Rinse and repeat.
There's money to be made there, and they made a lot of money, so much that the company stopped caring about the other divisions - until they didn't, and it started to cost them tons of money in lawsuits.

Yes, a different management approach might have avoided the lawsuits and everything, but apparently this level of risk taking is not in the DNA of the bank and so they stop doing that.

In my opinion restricting themselves to the part of the business they understand to get back to a clean slate is one of the smartest ideas they had in the last ~20 years.
How do currency policies even work? Isn't it like the state forcing exporting and tourism companies to lower their prices (by devaluating the currency)? Why is that the states job instead of the individual companies'?

Also the state can scam buyers of state bonds by inflating the currency, which also has the sideeffect of meddling with it's own economy.

It's not a silver bullet, it's just different cancer.

Cloudflare supports live video streaming CDN service for free?

That's right. My first attempt was to use IPFS or DAT. Figured out it's not quite possible, but we can get very close to that, in theory. Imagine the extension or the iframe could run a ipfs.js or dat.js that would discover all the http servers with comments via DHT: servers that want to participate, publish a unique key to the DHT and the web clients discover this key and then the IP addresses of the servers. In practice, this doesn't quite work because DHTs are based on the assumption that any node can quickly ping (with a UDP packet) any other node and thus perform the DHT discovery using the Kademlia algorithm in log(N) steps. But in the web, the only way to "ping" someone is to set up a p2p connection with WebRTC: this not only needs a signaling relay, but also implies a multi step exchange with SDPs and has other costly overhead. And I haven't even approached the Symmetric NAT problem. This is why ipfs.js hogs CPU, allocates a 1 GB and keeps 4-8 sockets always open (they aren't even p2p now, but rather web sockets to some relay, for perf reasons).
This error is due to use of a un type checked language (objc). You can blame the coding style all you want but it’s like blaming bad drivers for accidents instead of fixing the system.

Changing the release profile of a drug from once daily to once weekly isn’t a minor thing, and no one is forcing customers to pick the once weekly over the once daily. Now with respect to the original claim, are you saying that once there was a new version of tamsulosin the company issued a statement claiming the old version was unsafe? Do you have a reference for that?
> I have had phones freeze when trying to answer a call. After an Android version upgrade, the phones usually got much slower, much worse performance.

Interesting. Because of those exact issues I abandoned LG and my wife abandoned Huawei, and we both run on Samsung flagships, on which we never had that happen.

I wonder if anyone ever published a root-cause analysis of problems like "otherwise seemingly stable Android freezes when trying to answer a call". It's a ridiculous thing to happen to a smartphone, and yet it keeps happening. I don't want to criticize too much as it's not as if I could write a better OS myself, but God I miss the old feature-phone experience, with soft-realtime OSes that had more-less stable delays on everything, so you could quickly learn to operate it without looking, as you knew how long doing any given thing would take.
Elon Musk went out of the way to hire the most talented engineers for SpaceX
Elon Musk went out of the way to hire the most talented engineers for SpaceX. He once met Bryan Gardner at MIT, liked him immediately and asked him to join SpaceX. However Bryan couldn't agree because he was bound to join another company after his studies since it was sponsoring his education.
To this Elon replied, "Don't worry, we'll buy them out."

This type of attitude can only be seen in the people who are bold enough to change the world. This attitude is what led him to become the most celebrated entrepreneur in the world.

I think most of the spammers can be deterred by a simple puzzle, like 23+47. If we want to raise the bar, we make the puzzle more and more complex. Obviously, the puzzle is returned as an svg picture where the letters are "rendered" with little squares. My point is that 99% of the spammers out there are lazy and won't be able to pass this little test vs someone who's written a thoughtful comment and can definitely add 23 to 47.

> There's no reason for an encrypted file to be more than 100 bytes larger than the unencrypted file.

Video engineer currently implementing MPEG Common Encryption here:

Actually, there is.

MPEG CENC (Common Encryption) uses AES CTR and requires conveying one initialization vector for each audio/video frame. Those are generally 16-byte long.

To make the matter (a little) worse, MPEG CENC adds signalization to the file, to specify which parts of the streams are encrypted or not: indeed, for remux-without-decrypt reasons, each video frame must have its headers in cleartext.

In fine, you get some dozen of bytes of overhead per audio/video frame ; do the math.

Of course, this overhead remains negligible and could by no means explain a 30% size reduction when decrypting.

I've had good success with using Trello and Portable Kanban (http://edgars.lazdini.lv/portable-kanban/) for personal task management.

The article says that "Subtitle files... are not encrypted". Netflix subtitles are really interesting to me, because they're aligned in different languages. A lot of unofficial SRT files have different timestamps.

The reason is that I'm trying to collect data for learning languages, especially Chinese. Kind of like VoiceTube [1] and Youglish [2] are doing for English. So far it's only for personal use, not a revenue-taking company.

I tried investigating a Netflix stream, but the subtitles weren't plain text! They were distributed as PNG files [3].

Does anyone have more information about this? Do the pirates really OCR the subtitles for their MKV files? (I doubt it). Is there another way to get the plain text? Contact me directly if you're afraid to comment publicly.

There’s a fairly meaningful distinction between replace, repair, and recover.

In this case we can recover the phone without replacing any hardware at all, so bringing up repair or replacement is a bit of a red herring.

But as I recall, Theseus’ ship was repaired over so many battles, nothing of the original remained. That is distinctly different than botching a single repair so badly you would have been better off replacing from the onset.

There are plenty of ways to get plenty of hardware into an obviously FUBAR state. It’s simply false to say that there is no such thing as a definitively bricked state for any device whatsoever.

Simple rule of thumb; if the commonly accepted solution is “get a new device” then you’ve probably bricked it.

It really boggles my mind that every article on insulin goes through this cycle: “the producers are scammers it the same product put out a hundred years ago but they have new patents!!!” “It’s cheaply available in the old form” “but that’s not the same product!!”

You can’t have it both ways. Cheap alternatives are available. But yes newer main brand products are better in tons of ways, which is not surprising as they are culmination of decades of research. You can’t both claim there are no differences and than want those differences in the cheaper generics.

It's a remapable button through some random shady apps from Play Store. My wife has S9, we opted out of remapping it precisely because we don't trust random apps on Play Store that answer a popular demand[0], and I have no time right now to write one myself.

EDIT: So it seems that it is remapable without third-party apps now because of a recent update. That's better.

OK, there are a group of people where at the time we bought NVIDIA it was not a mistake, it was the better card for Linux Desktop, at that time AMD open source GPU was bad and the Catalyst proprietary one was terrible in performance, Steam games were only supporting NVIDIA.

Sure when I will need to buy a new card I will again have to check what is the best one for Linux and then I will probably get an AMD card again( I had AMD before NVIDIA on desktop and Laptop and back then it was a big disappointment, including the fact the AMD Catalyst drop support for my 1 year old cheap Laptop)
No, it got worse. Try H265, compression artifacts are pretty bad in certain scenarios, even with high bitrate. Same with h264 - but it can be solved with high bitrate - but your file size also gets much much bigger. Which means you will need very low latency, high-speed internet.

I think youtube is the only streaming service that does it very well without any issues for the end-user, anywhere in the world. Mostly because of their free peering service that is extremely ubiquitous. https://peering.google.com/#/
Well it is pretty nice place maybe compared to other countries like China, Iran and North Korea. UK jails people for making jokes, singing rap lyrics. Your government wants to ban porn and demand encryption has backdoors, sensorship of the internet is just par for the course. It is completely insane.
Don't overestimate the Intel GPUs. My current system uses a 530 which is getting pushed to its limits trying to render the desktop at 60 Hz, either UHD on AC or FHD on battery. Forget UHD on battery, that doesn't even manage to move the cursor at more than 10 fps.

IMO the ideal GPU for a UHD screen would be either an Iris or a Vega 10. But it's difficult to find the former outside MacBooks and the latter with more than an FHD screen.
I would call the euro a smashing success to be honest. Small countries, especially the ones that came out of the old ussr, seem to be very susceptible to their leaders playing with the currency to further their immediate goals, to the detriment of long term prosperity. Namely they like to print money.

Countries that pegged their currency to the euro, or outright started using it got measurably better than the one that didn’t.

Counties that had “troubles because of the euro” would have most definitely had them even without, but the problem would have surfaced much later, when the damage would have been done.

It’s just so easy to solve economy problems with devaluing a currency and most, especially populist governments just can’t help themselves but do it, ending in huge nation wide catastrophes - see a lot of latin america, pre-euro ex-ussr countries etc.

Having a stable currency is just vital to the long term health of a country, and the euro has certainly helped with that immensely. It does remove a tool from a government’s toolbox, but a dangerous one that I wouldn’t trust most of them to use anyway.

As for Africa, with the amount of financial education the populace has at large, I would presume a stable currency would do wonders to their economies long term, at least for several generations ahead.

A bit oversimplified but very accessible source of info for geopolitical economic stuff like this would be VisualPolitik youtube channel.

It's a neat idea, and pareinfer just looks beautiful, but why even infer them at all if you don't need them?

My long term plan is to get a lot of resources dedicated to this initiative, and even though I think it's possible you could accomplish the same thing with S-Expressions, I think it's simpler and cheaper by a significant amount to just drop the parens.

I think the number of folks who are comfortable with parens (I'd count myself in that category) is a lot smaller than the folks who don't like parens or don't have a preference.
Tell HN: Funds Never Received by Coinbase
Hello HN,

I have submitted over 10 days ago a bank transfer to Coinbase. After a few days I checked my Coinbase account to see if it had been received. To my surprise, it didn't and I opened a support request.

It took a few days for the support request to manually verify my transfer. The only thing I got was automated replies + "A specialist will get in touch with you" (twice)

I have contacted them on Twitter multiple teams and do not have answers either. I am actually understanding that they might be busy but that seems to be crossing the line.

After my unsuccessful attempts I decided to call their phone support but I found out they do not support wire deposits over the phone. I will try to get a hold of them over the phone still and update you in this thread.

Please just bear this in mind if you decide to transfer funds to Coinbase that it might take a while / might not get received. Would love to know your experiences too.
