There's also [0] which investigates streamed video including YouTube specifically.

While for all major platforms even including Windows on ARM64 the performance is good for VP9, and somewhat degraded for high resolution H264 videos, the results for Mac are bad across all of them. It's not even possible to playback videos with a 480p resolution, without being affected by a lot of framedrops.

In those 15s of playback a 480p VP9 video produces around 5 dropped frames, a 720p and 1080p video already ~45 dropped frames. Really worse it is with 4k@60fps videos which have more than 400 dropped frames even with a playback speed of 1.0x!

"world object" is the new term you introduce. It is, admittedly, more common than "unum" and not new in the sense that its parts are familiar, but you're already defining a new term.

It is a bit odd, but I think I like it.

Also, world object could be the 'object' for the 'world', as opposed to the unum of an item in the world.

> USB keyboard from an old Power Mac that I treat dearly because it has outlasted the hell out of every other Mac keyboard I've ever owned

Let me recommend the Macintosh keyboards from the late 1980s (M0116 and M0115). 30 years later most of them (if they weren’t scrapped sometime) are still working just fine, and are very pleasant to use. The Alps SKCM keyswitches used can get a bit scratchy feeling if they have been sitting out in a dusty place for 20 years, but even in mediocre condition are nicer (and more electrically robust/reliable) than any keyswitches sold at scale today. To get these keyboards requires some kind of ADB -> USB protocol converter, but those aren’t too hard to find.

The various rubber dome USB Mac keyboards sold from 2000–2005 are cheap garbage by comparison.

Not at FB but just doing enterprise software development I've had to explain to other developers that capturing and storing user info just because we can is in the "not okay" category. There are plenty of people who don't even consider ethics at work. They get a feature request, so they deliver it, with no second thoughts. These aren't bad people per se, it just doesn't occur to them to question the reasons for a request or what the end result is within a larger context.
One reason is that quality of life improvements often manifest as some form of technological infrastructure (housing, medicine, goods, roads, clean pipes, etc.).

Population matters less than investment per capital per unit area (because people take up real space).
Can you give an example of how active management is done by Facebook (etc) in a way that a distributed protocol (with a team of developers and incentivized crowds) could not?

It seems to me the major differences between centralized and decentralized solutions are first-mover advantages, network effect advantages (big gets bigger), and advertising budget. I'm skeptical that the quality of the product is the defining reason for Facebook et al's success, or that it would save them against a viably-large decentralized solution.

This isn't script-kiddie level hacking. There were considerable resources spend to develop those exploits, probably by a nation state. Those actors not being able to get an untraceable CCs/identities is highly unlikely.

For a 3 letter agency, legal issues might be the bigger hurdle. E.g. you might have to make sure the data passing though the CDN and thus CDN itself isn't in some other justification when spying on your own cities.
Has this happened to more of your clients?
These high-level Youtubers used 2Fac with their phones, which nowadays is easy to port (port their phone numbers to your SIM using social hacking).

Only if they (and jack) used a FIDO U2F key would they be really safe.
>I kinda get the virtual card thing - it's pretty hard to get a credit card.

I'm not sure you do? Because virtual cards are credit cards, afaik they're exclusively credit card linked, or at least bank account linked through a debit card type system. You need to have a standard card/account to get one (and at least in America getting a credit card is utterly trivial though it may not be a good one granted) and have identity.

>Assuming you can create infinite virtual numbers you could, theoretically (and I appreciate it's probably not the case here as the poster has account history), switch/cloak/whatever a whole bunch of high converting against policy stuff until the account is banned, at which point you set up a new ad account, new virtual number and start again. Rinse and repeat.

Virtual credit cards are still linked to you. Your name and mailing address and whatever else is required for normal credit card validation is still required. They're not a tool for anonymity, they're exclusively for dealing with issues on the seller side (ie., they get hacked, or are fraudsters).

>"if you have nothing to hide you'll use a fixed number".

But literally everyone does have something to hide: their fixed credit card number/crc/date, since that is an irritation to deal with if it gets stolen. It's not a public key unfortunately. Virtual CCs are a hack essentially to help bring some of the benefits of a more modern system that was fully tokenized (like Apple Pay and co) or used proper asymmetric crypto to legacy systems, at the cost of forcing more manual effort by the user. It's in the same bucket as password managers, ideally password auth would have long since ceased to exist, but in the mean time password managers help a bit with the garbage fire of the current authentication world.

Pretty much everyone publishes them online, everyone needs them when they do construction projects.

https://www1.nyc.gov/site/planning/zoning/zoning-maps.page

They appear to have each section of the map available as a PDF. I guess everyone just does it a little different. I'd expect NYC to be closer to Boston though since they're from the same era and both have limited area to spread and have a lot of grandfathered in buildings.

I'm a bit surprised DC is so segmented by land use, though I suppose it's a more recent city it's not as if 200 years is chump change. It seems like the zones are created and existing stuff gets exceptions carved out, and if they get torn down then they lose those exceptions and become the default type. So if buildings get destroyed quickly or if there's a lot of space for new construction I'd expect more simple separations between land use types.

Java was undoubtedly cool, I also thought like that.

Now what disappointed me was that languages like it, namely Oberon variants, Modula-3, Eiffel, Sather, all had a mix of AOT/JIT toolchain, with value types and low level capabilities.

Java nuked all of this, and is now trying to catch back those features that should have been there since the beginning (AOT kind of was, but only on commercial JDKs).

As a tinkerer:

1. I can read the official specs without agreeing to an onerous license.

2. There are several open source implementations I can choose to run on an FPGA.

3. I can choose the simplest combination of features. Want a multiply instruction, but no branch prediction? Want caching but no MMU requiring multi-level address virtualization?

A large processor vendor has to employ a small army of processor designers. The trend will always be in the direction of adding more features and increasing complexity. Customers will write code to require those features, and the cycle continues.

Only very rarely a fresh design will appear having the right combination of attributes to give it a chance of being a viable platform for a long time. This is what makes Risk-V attractive to me.

Good idea. Can you elaborate this a bit?
You're not supposed to _use_ the physical Apple Card. It's not just that the card is unusual or somehow hard to use, the whole service is designed to reinforce the fact that the card is a "worst case scenario" for paying: You get only 1% cash back when you use the physical card, but you get 2% cash back when you use the virtual card in Apple Pay. You're (not-so-)literally losing money when you use it!

The card is supposed to be a conversation piece, not your primary form of payment. Because metal cards have previously been the privilege of the upper classes, Apple's continuing its trend of trying to sell "affordable luxury" by offering this card to basically everyone. It's a promotional tool to get people to sign up for the card, and then start to use Apple Pay more. It's 100% form, and it was _meant_ to be form, this article is kind of missing the point.
> ...it probably takes everyone a long time to build the correct mental model

> Housing, on average, rises at the rate of inflation

I don't care about the price of the average house in the country. I care about the price of a house within a commuting distance of where I can find gainful employment.

Right now, the prices of homes in those areas are skyrocketing, while the prices of homes in areas that don't have gainful employment are nosediving. Take the average, and you'll find that it tracks inflation... And is a worthless metric.

> Even if the housing market explodes in one area, there's almost certainly another area where it hasn't

Yes, and none of those areas are ones where young people can make a living.

The socially optimal thing would of course be for retirees to consider selling their million-dollar coastal metro homes and move to cheaper areas, like the interior. But as long as they have access to HELOCs, they don't feel any pressure to do them. They can just borrow money against their million-dollar home, instead of downsizing. This is also not going anywhere. It would be political suicide to force grandma and grandpa to move to the boonies, just so that their grandkids, who need to work in the city could afford to live in it.
It was the provider that handled the SMS gateway for posting tweets through the 40404 short code.
