I take that you've never actually tried using it on Linux. The free version is pretty much the worst free video editor on Linux.

Both the free and premium versions are heavily crippled with virtually all common encoders and decoders either restricted or totally unavailable.

It also doesn't even start unless you have an Nvidia card and use closed source proprietary drivers. Despite all the users (paid or unpaid) reporting the issues on Intel and AMD, they just ignore them. And even if they fix those issues, H.264/H.265 encoding (premium-only) is only possible with NVENC with no CPU encoding alternative.
I don't either (although I certainly wish I did). I hope someone does too, though.
Have you met many people like that? For me, the person I think is most like that is Piotr Wozniak [1]. He's basically mastered everything: physiology, happiness, learning, creativity, communication. He's done it generally with global optima not local optima meaning he sacrifices things most people normally wouldn't (e.g. has no phone, only does barefoot running). Fortunately he has lots of writing on his lifestyle so I think I have a chance after a decade or two of approaching him but man, if he didn't exist there would be so many things I'd take for granted as unsolvable (enjoying exercise, being consistently happy every day, managing stress).

This is the problem with devices that rely on cloud servers to operate. They can cut you off as they see fit. They also leave the cutting of to an algorithm and don't care about the few edge cases where they ban the wrong people. Because that improves their bottom line.

Bold assumption :)
There's a pretty clear reason for passing legislation to force Apple to allow third party stores, and I think it has been explained well in the parent comments: some people believe users should control their devices. There are also pretty clear reasons for not doing so: other people believe Apple should control its devices.

Politicians can legislate things. They already get to dictate how parties interact. I'm not sure how rights come into it, since they wouldn't be breaching any of your rights that I can think of.

Plenty of people aren't okay with Apple's actions but there aren't exactly great alternatives.

Nothing is stopping Apple from allowing other stores other than control and in app purchase profits.
There were a few failures I read about. It's kinda silly to argue about which specific one did him in when they all could've. But if he had been truly anonymous - if there was no way to link any one of his actions to any of his other actions - then obviously it could not have happened.

Hmm, I think a better strategy might be embedding the ciphertext in the fur of cat pictures. Sending lots of cat pictures seems pretty normal for anyone. Might be possible to create a GAN that outputs a synthesized cat picture with a constraint of some ciphertext that can be decoded later. Or simple modulation might just work, if I can convince JPEG to not wreck it.

Not really. Ransomware works by creating an encrypted copy of your data and then deleting the original data. The direct harm comes from deleting the original. Where would the harm be if all they did was create an encrypted copy without deleting the original?

And the same attack works if instead of encrypting your data they upload a copy of it to their servers before deleting it. Albeit less efficiently, so we're back to indirect harms.
All we have to do is read the letters of secession from the slave holding states. They tell us why they seceded, and it was over slavery. We can read the Constitution of the Confederate States, and find slavery mentioned ten times, enshrining it in the highest law of that land.

> Alpha: Statisticians use a "confidence interval" as a way to communicate how uncertain they are about a particular result. In our trial we might say "patients were 15% less likely to have the disease after taking the pill, give or take 2%". We don't think the decrease is exactly 15% (what we observed) but is instead somewhere in that neighborhood. Alpha is a measure of the chance the real effect is OUTSIDE of your confidence interval. So in this case, the chance the effect is < 13% or > 17%.

I know this sounds intuitive, but it is wrong.

The true effect is not a random variable.

The random variable is the statistic.

When we say "95% confidence interval", we are referring to the fact that 95% of the confidence intervals constructed based on the sampling distribution under the null will contain the true effect, not the chance that the true value is in the specific confidence interval you constructed.

Edit: The latter is either 0 or 1 but you don't get to find out in the context of a single test.

I think arguably the electoral process makes fraud harder. If the goal was to tip the scales, in a popular vote you could basically do this anywhere across the country. But in an EV system, you would need to pick and choose 1 or probably more places (vulnerabilities) to attack to tilt things in your favor
> But if you disable location services, you cannot get your location at all.

I think this is exactly what the average user would expect. In fact, users may not think location services have been disabled if apps are still able to show their location after the fact.

Do you happen to know if the location look-up (probably for nearby hotspots) is anonymized or not? I can imagine this would be an issue if your specific query can be tied to a specific device. Obviously this isn't an issue if you have Find my iPhone enabled since you consent to Apple having your location anyways.
Motivation is not a discipline. If you are constantly motivated, then it’s like, I guess ... not motivation. It’s hitting the boost in a racing game, if you are just boosting the whole game, that’s your baseline speed.

If you’re out of boost (motivation), just wait for it to recharge. But, certainly stay disciplined (maintain baseline speed), don’t stagnate, don’t miss your turns. When the boost shows up, it’ll be effective.

If you fuck up, and fall behind, the only thing the boost will be good for is bringing you up to speed since you languished wondering where it was this whole time.

>stay quarantined if you are sick

Many jobs don't have sick days, they just have days you're not paid and, if the boss is nice, you still have a job afterwards. These workers cannot do the right thing without taking a hard hit.

This isn't the only snag those very sensible measures hit in our economic system. We really need to just hand individuals money a few more times and help businesses cover upkeep. The $1200 check early on was a great idea. No complex applications, no oversight of how banks handle loans, no unexpectedly unused piles of cash, no need to negotiate for months about what concerns should be covered and how. Money goes out, people spend it as needed, keep an eye on the budgets of critical things (hospitals, local governments) to plug holes if not enough of the cash flows to them. Maybe reinstate the paycheck protection program and make sure nobody worries about paying it back. Done. And it's not going to be done beyond a year, so there's little reason for landlords to jack up rent and vacuum the cash.

This is a short term crisis, so we just need to use a crutch until we can run again.
Yeah; I was contemplating getting a Quest 2 a while ago, since it hits a sweet spot of being a standalone headset, while also being able to be connected to the PC for greater fidelity (which will be important when my living arrangements change and I can get a tower PC)...but seeing reports like this was a showstopper. I'll wait until I have the tower and just buy an Index.

Always interesting to see content moderation strategies in action IMO.
Great point. I don't know why some states all of the sudden want to trust the others' voting systems. One state could choose to go electronic with no paper trail, for example, and we all know that's a bad idea.

Voter fraud does not happen on any sort of wide scale. Election fraud could.

I don't know if it was edited, but the comment your responded to did specify police unions when I made my comment.
I treated myself and bought one last year. It failed electronically six months later despite spending nearly all its time in the box...I bought it to use when using an RPi. Unicomp fixed it under warranty but made me pay for shipping it back to them.

To me, not covering shipping on warranty is a tell that their quality is low enough that failed keyboards are common. I don’t think I have ever seen a device have an electronically failed USB port...cables sure but this wasn’t.

Anyway mine was junk and might still be. I wouldn’t recommend Unicomp anymore.
Mr. Trebek brought generations together, at least mine. Jeopardy! and The Sound of Music are the two things my grandparents (b. 1920 and 1921, now deceased) and I (b. 1981) could always watch together and enjoy. Even when I was a 17 y/o delinquent shit I could always watch Trebek with grandma, and it just felt good. As others have mentioned - the passing if Mr.s. Trebek and Connery is the end of generation-spanning eras. I’m having a few too many drinks tonight as my own way of remembering them.
Your argument doesn’t follow. It sounds like you have a problem with the winner takes all system in us elections and not the electorate. Conservative voices in Cali and Liberal voices in Texas would be more relevant in a proportional system and not a winner takes all. These would be particularly relevant for states with split populations.

> No places should control an election. People should.

You say this but you dont mean it. In practice, removing the electoral college today would guarantee that certain places (coastal/densely urbanized states) control the election.

Should a Taiwan be able to dictate the laws and policies of a Tibet just because they have a larger population? The reason there are borders (in theory at least) is for different communities with different interest to have certain autonomy to choose their own destinies. It was part of the “deal” when the union was made because of this. If you want to remove the electoral college, then there should be a painless and democratic way for states to secede.

There are very few countries as large as the US, this circumstance is not shared by many countries. We should have a proportional system and then there wouldn’t be much of a need for an electorate AFAIK.

The only product I know is the second iteration of Bose Sleepbuds. It might not fit the bill though, and they're quite expensive imo. They call it noise masking tech, so it depends on what you're looking for, but they're meant to be a earplug replacement kinda thing.

They feel amazing while lying down but that's all I know personally, the deal breaker for me is that you can't listen to what you want on them, only the sounds they've added in the app.
It looks like a good idea :)
I read the comment as "I have limited time and must be wise about what I spend it on. Apple is forcing me to spend time on something I don't want to as other things are more important".

Apple is controlling his product roadmap.

Whether people use it or not is not the point. It's the it's the opportunity cost of having built something else that would have been MORE impactful to customers.
That is a good question. Although tail-call is easy to describe and understand I've haven't implemented it myself. I'd also appreciate pointers to resources.
No, but if some white nationalists showed up at my door and threatened me, I'd at least have to consider it. Plenty of historical evidence for that happening in this country.

Meanwhile, my vote is completely irrelevant. There are plenty of people who didn't vote, and you only need to pay/suppress a couple thousand in AZ, NV, and GA to flip the election.

History says that buying and threatening voters is effective and can move elections. Seeing as there isn't much of an upside to public votes, why would we risk it on the naïve notion that the average joe would think that far ahead when there is cash or a gun on the table?
To copy the argument used by Apple supporters, you can choose another bank.

I don't want to deal with Apple and their draconian rules. They translate to "you're small peanuts not worth our time" or "you're not paying us enough".

This is the company that cares more about dollars than the lives of Belarusian protestors. I do not want to deal with these thugs. It's insulting, degrading, and costs people their livelihoods.

Security is always a matter of making things harder for the bad guys. Couldn't someone just bomb your safe, fly a plane into your house, send an ICBM at your car?

Of course they could, but you reduce the probability that any random person can do that by taking precautions. Screen photographs also betray information that screenshots don't, for example nearby surroundings where the photo was taken, any reflections on the screen which may show who took it, metadata that can be used to conduct forensics to figure out which device took the picture, etc. In order to avoid giving yourself away, you'd actually have to plan a photographing mission, which may be made impossible by the circumstances (e.g. the device is held in a room with security cameras, nearby coworkers question why you're taking pictures of documents on your screen, your workplace may not allow secondary devices past the entrance, etc.)

Whereas with a screenshot you just hold two buttons and you now have an image that you can exfiltrate through a variety of ways into the hands of the bad guys.
