>An embedded PeerTube video comes with a warning, because when you watch one of these videos using the web player, you may also be serving that video to other audience members watching it at the same time.

This is something the distributed video people don't seem to entirely understand. Look at how many copyright disputes happen on YouTube - not actual piracy, just disputes. Now imagine every dispute was resolved by sending DMCA takedown notices or subpoenas to individual users who happened to have the misfortune of watching a particular PeerTube video someone didn't like.

Centralized and non-distributed video platforms have one critical advantage over distributed: it's harder to sue users. That's because you'd have to first sue the host to get logs, which requires at least some legal adjudication of the merits of any underlying copyright claim. Distributed systems shift that legal liability directly to viewers. So you need some sort of mechanism to ensure people who provide you the video don't have an IP address to trace, which immediately puts you in all sorts of hard UX problems that the wave of encrypted P2P software from a decade and a half ago never really figured out.
No thanks. He’s Russia’s useful idiot.
Thank you so much! As we continue to expand the move set we are absolutely working on full body movement, including ducks and dodges. We want to keep our players moving!
What is the motivation?
I can second this - our mainframes average response time is 2-5 seconds based on the call, with 99 percentile responses in the minutes per transaction. This is after a fortune was spent moving us to a "faster" platform.

Also, at our bank, very few applications use the REST API. Since most applications are developed by contractors, most vendors don't want to use our custom API, and instead opt to connect to the mainframe directly, because then they can reuse the code at other banks after charging us to develop it.
Here's my little Wirecard story: Back in the day when Camarades.com/ww.com was doing well we were through an intermediary approached by a German investor, one Paul Bauer-Schlichtegroll (I'll never forget that name), an - at that moment - successful German businessman, who was importing Vans sports shoes into Europe.

He became a 5% investor in our company through an entity called Max Madhouse GMBH with an option to buy a much larger share. The day after the deal was signed he turned around and tried to screw us - the founders - out of our own company through a minority shareholder lawsuit.

Eventually we got rid of him, but this cost us a lot of time, money and momentum. Two years later Bauer was one of the founding members of what eventually became Wirecard.

So I've always seen Wirecard as a bunch of crooks.

At the same time I have some sympathy for the BaFin people, there are way too few of them and the opposition was very well versed in showing one face whilst actually being something completely different, the length to which these characters would go to show a good face was beyond anything that I would have normally imagined. I'm still a touch paranoid because of it, and I'm sure the same goes for the rest of the former Camarades.com/ww.com team.

I don't know what happened to him, he seems to have disappeared as well, but I do know that anything that he's ever touched was rotten at some level.
Best part of the whole story:

"The study ran into certain difficulties. Some participants weren’t able to consume all the alcohol required and had to be excluded, some had such high tolerance levels that they experienced no hangover symptoms; and some were sidelined because they insisted on topping up the dose by heading for the bar, researcher Markus Metsala told local media."
They held a previous Nobel Peace Prize winner accountable.

At least with many Kubernetes controllers that have been built in the past (I haven't tried ACK), they don't respond to or attempt to "live-correct" changes in configuration which are made outside of Kubernetes (e.g. via the AWS UI). They act on events that are fired in the cluster when a resource they monitor changes in the cluster.

So, again I haven't tried ACK, but they don't help to correct the drift that you outline as a problem. They will take action to correct the drift if the internal resource changes, but how often do you update the desired configuration of an S3 bucket? For me, almost never.

In essence, the controller acts less like a live daemon always keeping things in sync, and more like Terraform in a CI pipeline. And, given you've probably got all your Kubernetes YAMLs inside a git repo anyway, all you've accomplished by deploying one of these things is trading a predictable, easy to debug step in a CI pipeline for a live running service inside your cluster that is in perpetual beta, could stop running, have bugs, could get evicted, uses cluster resources, doesn't talk to Github automatically, etc.

In fact, you'll often times even get drift upon internal resource updates, in situations where the controller is too spooked to make a change that could be destructive. We've seen this with the ALB Ingress Controller, where it never deletes ALBs, even if the entire underlying service, ingress, etc are deleted.

(Edit): To be clear: I think the direction of "specify everything in kubeyaml" could end up being a win for the infra world. If we could throw out a terraform+kubeyaml system for just "everything in kubeyaml", that feels like a simplification. But, I'm not convinced that the best way to get that kubeyaml into AWS is via live-running code inside clusters, especially since the complexity of AWS means its literally never going to work right (they can't even get CloudFormation to work right, and that's a managed service). A live-running controller is necessary for some things, like ALB Ingress, due to how quickly those changes need to be made (updating the ALB with new IP/ports of containers). But, for other things like S3/SQS/etc, I'm less sure.
Exactly. This is easy for them to get around.

They are trying to solve the wrong problem.
It’s a pleasing cognitive answer, but doesn’t really fit well with math or physics. Time is an emergent property of the Universe that we can measure and compare with a more platonic mathematical model of time. Also, you could make the argument that Minsky’s argument is just a form of discontinuity.
I mean I'm not even a nurse/not in childcare and I know about it, so it's certainly not fringe.
BJP party is currently rolling cash and frequently tries to buy out governments even if they do not win the elections. Success varies.

What I am curious about is how much do they donate for causes like help during natural disasters, covid epidemic and things like that. They might well be doing that, but I dont know where to look for these numbers.

They are of course not obligated to donate, but given how they are the first to question the patriotism of others, I am curious about how do they roll with their own cash.

Not that you're wrong, just pointing out who this nomination comes from.

We've seen a massive movement for companies to post warnings or alerts stating facts might not back up certain content on social media in the last year or so. Fact Checkers they're called.

The federal government doesn't seem to feel that same restraint when it comes to sending federal police into Portland to do community-level police work. And they are certainly more than happy to dictate many other aspects of our lives using whatever levers they have available. So why is it suddenly now that they can't provide any help in a pandemic because it's the States' responsibility?
That doesn't mean it actual is legal. There are state and federal laws, not to mention the state and federal constitutions, that have higher precedence.

Can we help you get out? I've personally opened accounts with all the popular online banks like Ally, SoFi, Simple, Schwab, Marcus, etc. If you have any questions I'd be very happy to help you leave WF.

The basic idea is to connect people and provide a platform where they can train together, from home. The platform offers a collection of workouts with exercise illustrations. Users can create rooms and share the link with friends. Inside the virtual room, the users are connected via a peer to peer video chat and the exercises displayed are synchronized. Virtual rooms currently have no user limit (bandwidth of course :) ).

I can imagine no space and no time.

There is no timeline by which to order cause and effect.

I would argue that the second sentence implies the first isn't true. You can't imagine that there is no time if you're saying things can't happen without time. What I said doesn't mean things can't happen, it just means they happen in a way that doesn't require time to exist (which could be everything happening in the same irreducible instant, or in any order, etc.)
The "Drink milk" campaign in my elementary school would be a good example. You should drink more milk, doesn't mean you should drink less water, or juice or whatever. It just means drink more milk.

People need to get out of the idea that just because something or someone has extra 0s in their account, that they should be more liable for things. Mistakes can happen at all levels, if society intends to build fair and equitable environments, it needs to stop looking at group A or group B differently. Don't forget that if there is an undue burden to be 100% all of the time, it will be priced into the offering at some point, leading the end user to foot the bill.
A very exciting project and, as a somewhat alienated university instructor I'll be spending time thinking about it's possible uses for me. A couple comments though.

1. 'Sell your class on Zoom' is a total turn-off for me. As is 'Schedule. Meet. Bill.' As a teacher I do not 'sell' education - I'm not a Sophist ;) - I teach, and for that I would ideally like to get paid, but this is not a conventional commodity-based transaction and so the language of sales is jarring. Partly this is semantic, 'sell' may work for wine tasting instructors but not for humanities tutors. But also partly the issue is that I may not want to sell my teaching. Perhaps I am gaining experience, and want to set up a model class, to build experience and confidence?

2. I don't understand why Zoom needs to be so tightly integrated. This isn't just a classic HN comment about Zoom, it's the fact that there's already an excellent learning environment called BigBlueButton out there and it's Jitsi based. Have you considered integrating that?
I find myself needing this most frequently in making graphics in R. The scales package has squish() with the same behavior:

squish(25, c(5, 10))
=> 10

squish(6, c(5, 10))
=> 6

squish(1, c(5, 10))
=> 5

If you don't provide the limits it defaults to c(0, 1). That's because this function exists to map to a 0-to-1 range for functions that then map the [0, 1] range to a color ramp.

Yes. Just like adults, kids thrive on meaning - having a role to play, being useful, seeing the impact they have on the world. Kids very quickly figure out the difference between real responsibility and make-work and act accordingly. Our beliefs about the abilities of children are powerful self-fulfilling prophecies.

There is something “real” about infinity that “works” in our Universe. The axioms of infinity in math seem to “work”. Could there be a better set of axioms? Sure, but no one has come up with any.

It's fine to call out malicious behavior I'm just confused by the argument that a stupid decision from company A means that company B shouldn't try to make a good decision. I'm even more confused by the concept that company A making a stupid decision means that every push to make a non-stupid decision must be suspected to be malicious.
Actually it is a little more than the minimum wage, when you consider taxes and social insurances. The 18,000€ minimum wage net you 13,600€ a year or 1,133€ a month.

The money from the UBI experiment is a gift and the recipients do not need to pay taxes on that. Not sure if they need to pay for the social insurances
>> MFS2020 can simulate an aircraft that was partially damaged after colliding with an obstacle

Scenarios where aircraft strike fixed objects and remain airborne are virtually unheard of. Bird strikes are one thing, but touching a cessna wing to any building is a realworld game over. Touch any pole, any power line, any bridge, anything larger than a goose and you aren't going home.

i'm not denying you a job.. you are less valuable to me as i have lots of your type of voice already.

And to be clear every issue you have diverse candidates have plus loads more. the only issue you might have that they don't, is that people may wrongly assume you don't know pain or the feeling of being powerless or trampled on... i know it shity to be a human sometime, regardless of race or gender.

I think there are probably enough jobs in tech for everyone though.. maybe that is naive but i only see shortages anywhere i look. if you don't get into google or IBM or whatever.. that's not unable to get a job, its just not getting that job.

And if there happens not to be enough work to go around where you are, i am really genuinely sorry - i don't mean to make light of the struggles, but it also means it was hard for that other person who did get the job.
Yes. That's the downside of the Peace Prize such that there are zero barriers to entry for the requirements and everyone qualifies, unless you continue attending paid talks and interviews around the world and this is repeated in the mainstream media.

This is far less apparent in Physics, Chemistry and Economics though.

We'll never know if the charges could be proven because Assange fled to an embassy for many years, denying us all the right to see what would happen at trial.
I did think of that before I posted. I think though long term (once we are out of this) we will now take threats to humanity much more seriously.

I can only speak for myself:

Personally I've always seen myself as an observer to humanity. I know what's right and I'd like to make it happen but there's so many people trying to get ahead there's no point. The cards are stacked against me and I was scared to fail.

Covid for all its badness has made me realise I can't just observe. Whilst there are people who don't want what's best in power we are in this precarious position where humanity could fail. My hope however optimistic it is, is that people who are good will also realise they have to act and they can't just watch.

As the old saying goes all it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.

That saying has always meant a lot to me and I've always stood by the fact I would stand up and be counted when I was needed; this coronavirus made me realise I was needed right now.

More-so fear of the long-term consequences. You do all that hard work to get to where you want to be and then if you back off, will that work be lost?
Not sure what you mean with reencoding for each client? AFAIK no major streaming does this realtime. They reencode the content once from source into a number of bitrates and formats, put the result on a CDN and then use DASH/HLS/Smooth so clients can dynamically fetch and switch between them based on a manifest.

If you do not do DRM you can probably get away with only using HLS or DASH and three or so bitrates/qualities. 480p, 720p and source perhaps?

That might double your storage req and the one time encode effort, but running costs are the same (if not less because people will consume less bandwidth).
Mixed bag. ISO27001 when taken seriously and implemented throughout a company that means well and has the resources to do so will at least guarantee some level of process to be present. This then needs to be backed up with actual IT and security knowledge to be effective, and that is more often than not where the problems are.

So as a rule we treat an ISO 27001 certificate not so much as a checkbox item meaning we can skip certain parts of our audit, but as a nice-to-have which may help speed up the interview process because we at least know what terminology to use.

In practice there is too little difference between companies with or without such certification to see it as anything other than a marketing tool.

So, assuming what’s reported in that article is true, is Russia a black hat finance bug bounty hunter of sorts? They identify ongoing high-profile fraud in Western countries and use that leverage to turn the executive into intelligence assets? Or is it the other way around? He was already working with Russia and then just happened to commit massive fraud at the same time?

I guess I’m just having a hard time understanding how a person can get themselves into such a situation. I can’t believe it’s just greed that allows it to happen but perhaps that’s naive of me.
It looks to me that people have lost their minds - they have turned anti racism into clear and pure racism.
