I want to love ffmpeg but I honestly can't stand that I have to spend ~15 minutes looking for the magical incantation to get the result I want. After I find it, it works quickly and has good results.

However, it really feels like video editing isn't something that should be done on the command line. Does anyone know of decent GUI frontends to ffmpeg?
Trump and the MAGA crowd are absolutely fine with things like separating kids from their parents, forced sterilization, intense racism, celebrating and stimulating police violence, attempting to steal elections, open corruption by a sitting president and much much more. And yet you go “gosh darn that foreign interference is causing leftist ideas”. Maybe you should take a series look at your media consumption because it sounds like you’re a stereotypical Fox News viewer.
Strange country where the media says who won the election. Elsewhere, there is an official announcement.
Well I strongly disagree with all of that. You're talking about "uninformed choices of Americans" that are "unequipped to understand," but I was there in 2007 when the iPhone was introduced, and there's a reason that EVERY phone is essentially an iPhone and not a Blackberry. This did not "disenfranchise" anyone, it radically empowered us all (in the same way that google.com did).
Cutting off in the middle of the speech is not editorializing, it's essentially censorship of the elected president of the USA. Obviously he wasn't calling for terrorist attacks on anyone, let's not get ridiculous.
the individual mandate has been ruled illegal btw.

I'm sorry, but you're not denying that her point was my bill or nothing. you just seem to think that trumps desperation to pass a bill gives you legitimacy.

which is, lets be clear, rich with irony.

WOAH: "Notably, you ignore the important point that McConnell also doesn't want relief to take effect until next year."

what is your source for that lol. why on earth would that ever make sense. and I mean that kind of loses effect if dems have refused to pass anything for the previous 3 months just so they could pass something when trump loses
Warning that should have been given : the video link above in the parent has a decapitated dog experimented on ... We don’t know if it’s fake or real, but certainly disturbing footage if you are a dog lover.

He only did the voice over iirc but wasn’t present. Neither did he conduct any of the experiments. I think it was his loyalty towards his Russian comrades that made him lend them his credibility.

Also worth pointing out that in the case of Florida the exact opposite happened and the original count was Biden winning handily but as the panhandle started being added the election swung the other way to Trump. It's not like the big shift in results was unexpected, as soon as the results for Miami-Dade came in even though Biden had a large lead the NY Times election needle immediately swung hard to Trump because they knew the lead would be wiped out by in person voting.

Funny how Trump isn't complaining about the exact same thing happening when it winds up helping him.
If you’re intimidated by man pages, just be aware they vary in complexity and readability along with the tool they describe. I continue to check them first, and if they’re tl;dr, there is probably a tool that is more simple and suited for your use case. Reading (and searching) them becomes easier over time. Shameless plug for OpenBSD, which has the best man pages I’ve seen thus far.
I doubt tax returns would’ve stopped trump from winning in 2016. Ultimately the will of the people should prevail; that’s what a democracy is.

The article does list several real-world attacks on:

- Badly randomized large primes
- Re-used large primes
One can easily follow this all the way back to medieval Europe, at least in the Western world: early post-Roman European kings were just well-organized warlords, and for a very long time any idea of 'legitimate governance' was just a thin papering-over of the realpolitik involved in armies based on personal loyalty.
While anti-science exists at both ends of the political spectrum, only one of the major us political parties seems to embrace conspiracy theories with gusto. And that party has a not insignificant number of adherents that accept the belief that covid is a hoax.

But notice that you've shied away from the climate change claim; the scientific consensus has not gotten softer in the last 20 years, but as recently as a few years ago one party denied the existence of climate change. Even recently a considerable majority of the strong adherents of one particular political party disbelieve that climate change is happening.
The problem is the points you perceive as valid are the products of your own bubble, which operates as an automated factory of lies and deception. As with holocaust deniers, arguing with you is not a valid approach: only shutting you out.

Slapping +/- 5% on top of a prediction that is systematically off by ~5% isn't "in the margin of error", it's just simply off. For one prediction, two predictions, no problem. They fall somewhere in this range with probability distribution (usually a Bell curve around the mean). But for hundreds, if not thousands, of polls to be so systematically off, it is not "within the margin of error" or a statistical fluke. If it was, you would expect a normal distribution around the mean of the polls. The mean was completely off.

Put simply, it was sampling bias. Pollsters screwed up. They either sampled the wrong voters, the wrong areas, mispredicted who would turn out, or voters did not accurately report who they planned to vote for. Garbage in, garbage out.

You can try to correct for sampling bias, but if you are blind to it, as your comment pushes more people to be, then you will fail.
> We must build much higher level shared meaning - Images, Tables, Conversations and beyond, building a common implementation and understanding used by everybody.

Thinking you can build something like this is extremely naive. If you have been working in any company over a certain size. You will know that even inside a single company, people often don't use the exact same vocabulary. For example, what constitutes a product is very different across departments such a sales, production, design, customer service. Martin Fowler talks a bit about in this post on bounded contexts [1].

The Democratic Party didn't abandon labor. Labor and the electorate abandoned the Democratic Party. Starved for funding and votes, the Democratic Party moved right and embraced neoliberalism. Mondale was pro-labor. He was crushed by Reagan in 1984.

I don't dispute that, but also realise my comment is about the general population so inherently has to generalize.

I guess my reply would also be that in a well functioning democratic government people get to trust that those issues will get addressed in time, though that is also not universally true.
In fact he did not. This is yet another lie told to his supporters.

Trump expanded the global War on Terror and drone strikes in particular which are the biggest component of it. It doesn't make sense to exclude drone strikes, they are the largest part of the war.

I've had dengue fever. There are a few different strains and I had one of the milder ones but it was still enough to put me in the hospital for dehydration as an otherwise healthy 20yo.

In Thai it's known as hemorrhagic fever, but unlike in English, where "hemorrhagic" is a technical term where the meaning isn't clear or is softened, in Thai it's just three simple Thai words: ไข้เลือดออก, "fever [that makes] blood [come] out". Luckily I didn't have any hemorrhaging.
In a way it's a shame that we don't have something like the Roman Caesars or even like the Chinese Communist Party structure with a leader like Xi. If we did, we would have no successful enemies and could easily crush all opponents beneath our heel like insects(yes, we're that capable!).

But we're a republic, so we're always chewing on each others' legs and scrambling to get to the monetary/political feeding trough.

Trump would not have lasted as CEO more than a few months. Such blatant lying and bullshitting just does not fly in a corporation with a board. He only sat atop Trump empire for so long because there was no one but him running the show.
> By comparison, the top quartile hourly fees charged by corporate attorneys with 10+ years of experience is $450 per hour

I was a seventh year associate at a Silicon Valley law firm when I left for my startup in 2014. At that time, my rate was $600/hr. I'm sure there are cheaper firms out there, but I'm also sure that rates have gone up in the last 6 years. The figures he quotes for the lawyers that were used ($1,200 for partner, $900 for senior associate, etc.) are about what I would expect legal fees to be at a first- or second- tier firm in Silicon Valley these days.

Perhaps the $450 number is based on nationwide averages — but if so that's not really relevant to the cost of Silicon Valley lawyers. I know I wouldn't hire a lawyer around here who has 10 years of experience and charges only $450/hr.

I'm not quibbling with the major thrust of the article (I'm a startup founder, so I'm all in favor of VCs covering their own legal fees). But when I read the stat above, it made me suspicious because it is so far off from my experience.

> one single tribe that is objectively correct

There are conclusions that are more true than others, but it gets messy when people start talking policy. Ground level facts have regularly led to horrible policy decisions despite being 'correct' according to the science.

> am I not, objectively speaking, correct, because my opinion on those matters are backed by science?

It is true that shutdowns, distancing, masking are all evidence based methods to contain the pandemic. However, politics is not only about selecting what methods work, but where they are applied, and who bears the cost. There is rarely an objective 'backed by the science' answer across the board.

You've read right past everything the parent comment said and wrote a generic comment demonizing the "MAGA crowd". This is not what a dialogue looks like and until people start controlling their fanaticism - especially the American left - the USA will make no progress on healing the divisions that have been building up for decades.
Main trick is that ffmpeg is not really a command line tool. It's a set of libraries - libav* - built in C which lets you do absolutely everything you want with video/media files (and somewhat less successfully, with streaming data too, while for modern applications such as webrtc, ffmpeg sucks).

Command line tool is just a (rather lame) wrapper for (some) of those features.
I actually like the water sensor, and similarly gas sensors. I don’t really virw security cameras as a smart home thing.

Anyway, most people I’ve seen try to create a smart home end up spending a crazy amount of time managing it, while rarely using the stuff. I see it as adding complexity to my home, rather than making it simpler. Want to watch a movie? Close the blinds. Just set the timer on the washing machine, you don’t need it to be internet connected.

Interoptability is still low between manufacturers, price are to high and life time to sort. I was at a Microsoft presentation where they happily told us that their IOT OS woul get 10 years of security updates, great, but that it the absolute minimum I would expect for something like appliances, and no where near what I would demand for something built into my house.

It’s a gimmick because you need to interested in managing it and keeping it updated, which I am not. There’s enough complexity in our life, let’s not add more.
I really do think the amount of lying and cheating was significantly higher.

Do you really think there's an amount of "due process" that will convince all Trump supporters to get behind Biden? Trump has clearly been planning to call the election illegitimate since long before it happened - casting doubt on mail-in ballots, etc. He hypocritically advocated continuing counts in some states and stopping them in others depending on whether he was ahead. He claimed without evidence that dead people had voted, late cast ballots had been counted, etc. And he falsely claimed that only votes counted by election night were legitimate.

Do you honestly think once his claims relating to poll observers go through due process, everyone will be satisfied?

Pragmatically, there is such a slim chance that any of his challenges change the outcome of the election, that it's reasonable to consider Biden President-elect at this point.
This is so cool!

one feedback is that you may want to link to the eisenhower matrix for people that don’t know how to interpret the results
That is almost always how these things happen. There is a policy. It collides with the real world. Someone "solves" it. People find out and there is outrage.

Usually that means it changes through political decision. I don't know what happened in this particular case since I don't keep enough track of US politics.

You mean the police won't be able to get your data? Can't they just hold your iPhone up to your face and then get your data?
Code review centered around maintainability isn’t comparable to the effect marketing has on customers. It’s more comparable to how marketing manages its process of ad creation, connections in the industry, etc. Indeed human expertise is useful for having a starting point and determining what directions one should go in to fix things. But without data, how are you supposed to tell that your changes have actually had an intended effect? Gathering data around marketing would be more comparable to having monitoring on your software systems. Much like not having any way to know if the code changes you just made have actually fixed a performance issue you were seeing in the system, not having any data to judge whether a change you made to your marketing had the intended effect makes making such changes pointless.

Experts are wrong all the time regardless. The best of them tend to like being able to check their work against reality.

Australia is one, New Zealand another. I can't speak too much for other countries I guess so I probably shouldn't have written "many countries" as that's just an assumption on my part.
Please point out the place I used the word "all" or anything resembling it.
We know where it is. It's everywhere, because huge parts of the country have given up on even trying to keep it contained.

As of today we're at about 10 million cumulative cases (a full 3% of the country's entire population), 132,000 cases per day, and the cases-per-day count doubling every 20-30 days. That's a progression that gives you millions of new cases a day just by May.
They're worse then Trump, by far the most exciting thing about him is that he isnt part of that political class that has lied and cheated America for decades.
Not to say I agree with that comment. But I think the case for why ECC would be easier to break than RSA using quantum computing is that key sizes of ECC are much smaller so would require less qbits to break.

Probably not what you want, but I was looking for a while how I can get rid of Pandas, and for the most part ClickHouse (DBMS for analytics) can do almost everything Pandas does (for my use case at least) and much more efficiently. It has very good support of array types, so it's pretty convenient for slightly nested data. Whatever you can't do completely in ClickHouse, you can export into Parquet/JSON/CSV/etc. and finish the analysis in Pandas or anywhere else.

Just be aware that ClickHouse is still somewhat experimental and idiosyncratic DBMS, doesn't have some SQL goodies like window functions or B+Tree indexes, or pivots. They only added CTE support a week ago, I haven't even tried it yet.

It has everything to do with it. You should ask the question why does a police chief want to put bullets in Biden supporters?

The sad fact is there is basically no mental health service in the UK at all. The UK could be dealing with this and giving people in need appropriate care but lack of access to care has been a consistent theme for a decade. It is critically underfunded like everything else in the NHS and barely works even if people do get seen. In a functioning society the government would have anticipated the increased pressure that all this would have on people, especially loosing their jobs due economic impacts, and ensured there was an appropriate safety net. That didn't happen and it just adds to the despair. Many mentioned money worries, not a surprise given the economic havoc this pandemic is delivering.

It isn't just about lockdown or not, there is a whole range of options on how to do all of this and right now the UK government has chosen a lot of bad ways for bad reasons and left a lot of people with no hope. The mental health crisis in the UK has been worsening for a long time now and this is just another log on the fire.
This is a crippling problem for the United States. In the absence of effective governance by Congress, control of the country slips ever increasingly into the hands of an Imperial President and an unelected Supreme Court. While Congress debates "only the most important issues" Presidents have taken to ruling by decree through executive orders and policy-setting Federal agencies, pushing the line as far as the Supreme Court will tolerate , politicizing the court and damaging national trust in impartial justice in the process. Recall that the Supreme Court granted to itself its most important powers in Marbury v Madison. It's a castle built on sand, and the only things that binds a President to respect its decisions are tradition and the belief of the American people in the idea of the court as a non-partisan institution that should be respected.

And then every 4-8 years the President changes parties, scraps all major ongoing efforts of their predecessor, repeals their decrees, replaces all of the experts and advisors they have brought into the government, and reverses their foreign and domestic policies.

This disfunction has been highlighted within the Chinese Communist Party as the main reason why China will eventually (soon) eclipse the United States in world significance. A country that is governed in such a schizophrenic manner cannot compete long-term with a country capable of planning on time horizons or more than 8 years (and sometimes only two!).
