I can't help but feel this a silly gimmick and waste of engineering time.

The practicality of this whole thing feels non existent, creating a product for a market that does not exist (people who wanted chicken warmers in their PC) - this just feels like a exercise in creating more unnecessary e-waste/plastics.

I went through a few stints in my late 20s when I literally didn't leave the condo for a span of 9 months, and at another point 6 months. It was within a span of a few years of deep social isolation. I had frozen meals delivered and left outside the condo. I mean fully that I didn't interact with a physical human during those months.

It was a painful experience at times, although I tried not to wallow in it. Becoming completely accepting of that sort of isolation, and growing to thrive within it, is something I wish everyone could experience.
Thanks!

> choosing output format at the start, not just at export

Got it, added to my todo list.

> file formats and conversion. Maybe auto-conversion could happen in the background while I cut with low-res?

I do support the popular formats for now. What do you mean by "conversion"? In my mind, that clearly happens when you import the file into the project.

At export, I do go through the original videos, to get the highest res for each video frame. If this is what you mean by auto-conversion, that is possible, but not sure how advantageous it would be - it takes a lot of CPU + GPU (even if in the background) and may disrupt your editing. I will dig deeper into this.
Just look at the rest of the thread for claims, whether they have evidence is something you'll have to ask them. Simply because they are evidence less does not dismiss their claims, due to the number of such claims. In other words, if a lot of people are saying something, you should probably look into it.
It’s even worse than that. Many of the compliance standards do require best practices, in most circumstances. For example, CSF, RMF, NIST 800-53 or 171 are all relatively sound from a technical perspective (e.g., data at rest must be encrypted, encryption must be FIPS-validated encryption, etc.).

Unfortunately with ISO 27001, NIST 800-171, etc., is that people see having written down policies as evidence of implementation of proper controls. If you have a policy that says you use role based access control, you have to actually do it. If you ha be a procedure that says you backup sensitive data to X alternate location and perform failover tests annually, you have to actually do it.

It’s sad, but 85% of compliance assessors I have worked with essentially look for “do you have a policy? Does that policy say the things the standard says it should? You’re compliant!”.

I blame the companies in part, but I also blame the people who are trusted to objectively and competently evaluate the system’s level of compliance. The standards and assessing compliance to them is great in theory, but in practice, people are...people.

The few areas I will say have succeeded are NIST 800-53/FISMA and FedRAMP. They are not perfect (see: SolarWinds), but the bar for obtaining an ATO and/or FedRAMP accreditation is relatively high.
When you vote to join the EU, you know what the trade deal and various other treaties will be before you vote. You are provided with the options of keeping things as they are or accepting EU laws and treaties.

Voting for Brexit provided none of that information, which is why it was wrong. It was a vote between keeping things as they were, or dunno we'll figure something out. The vote should have been whether they should negotiate a potential Brexit deal and then hold another vote to decide whether they leave.
Of course they knew, that's why they're mentioning Ammon by name.
How many times should voters be asked to vote on each issue?

Just once, but "Do you want to leave Europe in general, without knowing the deal?" and "Do you want to leave on these specific terms that will have this specific impact on the UK?" are different issues.
To your point, there was also a historical St. Nicholas.

Here's my answer to another user:

I do want to go multi-platform ASAP. However, because of the sheer complexity of video editing - and since I focused on speed + ease of use from the get go, I chose to go with a single platform (Windows) for starters.

Once I am close to feature complete (as in, be able to properly launch and be rock stable), I can think of porting to Mac (first), and who knows, maybe Linux.

I did think about this from the get-go, so I did isolate the complicated code in a specific module. So theoretically, it should not be very easy (read = 2-3 months :D) to port. But when reality will hit, we'll see :D

> you can actually devise a strategy and try to execute on it. if it works you win. if it doesn’t you’re unlucky or executed poorly.

I agree. The problem is that you find out fairly early on who is going to win, and then it's somewhere from boring to miserable for the rest of the game.

> I [...] consider the game to be pretty basic as far as board games go.

Definitely agree on that. I can think of a number of other both more complicated and more fun games, and can't really think of a good reason to play monopoly.
It's not black and white. Voters can vote 'yes' once, but you have to vote 'no' a hundred times. No is never no. Its 'not yet'. So there's a tremendous constant pressure to change things.

Thus it seems reasonable to put some brakes on some of the 'yesses'.
Not if you want the same level of access assurance.

I don't think you're entirely correct. Labour promised to hold a second referendum after making a deal, where rejecting the brexit altogether would be an option. The Shadow foreign secretary even promised to campaign against the very deal she'll herself make, and 100 labour MPs pledged to reject referendum result outright, not even through a 2nd referendum.

Given how much support brexit had in traditionally labour seats in the north, I think, with the benefit of hindsight, labour could have avoided that embarrassing election result if they firmly committed to a soft brexit.
Politics/business nexus. Unsolved problem since the dawn of time.
> If you can't trust your partner why marry them in the first place?

There are a lot of nuances here, than just trust before marriage.

Many of the marriages are arranged ones, where the families arrange and negotiate the marriage. If the woman is not satisfied with any aspect of the marriage, some of them resort to these tactics to get rid of the husband.

Of course, there are those who actually suffer and are rescued by this law, but those are few and far between.

> I won’t dispute that most constitutional courts around the world are conservative or ideologically neutral, since they are aware that they can interpret the law as written, and not act as a pressure release valve against the dead hand of their “Founders” as they know that their populations can amend their constitutions if there is a pressing need.

The difficulty of amending the constitution is a theoretical problem. It takes a 2/3 majority of the Bundestag and the Bundesrat in Germany to amend the Basic Law. And for most of the issues where there is a disconnect between what the people want and the constitution, there wouldn’t be sufficient public support for an amendment even under the lower standard. Take gun control: https://www.slowboring.com/p/national-democrats-misguided-re...

Could you get a 2/3 majority of the House and Senate to repeal the second amendment? No way. Maybe you could get a 2/3 majority of both houses to overturn Citizens United.

But note also that 2/3 of Americans still oppose the Supreme Court decision banning school prayer. So it works both ways.

Obamacare is a bad example. The ACA case wasn’t a liberal versus conservative thing. It was simply a matter of the law as drafted failing to respect federalism. Courts in other countries aggressively enforce the structural protections of their constitutions, more so than the Supreme Court. Legislatures in those countries just deal with it. For example, Canada’s health system is largely administered by the provinces, with the federal government mainly setting standards and paying block grants to even out funding inequalities between the provinces. Has the ACA been modeled on Canada’s system (and in fact Medicaid is pretty similar) it would easily have passed muster in the Supreme Court.

The FDR era is the best example of where the Supreme Court really did strike down the will of the people to adhere to a conservative reading of the constitution. But the Supreme Court folded like a cheap suit when FDR threatened it, and now we have a nationwide minimum wage and executive administrative agencies that act like legislatures in issuing rules that have the force of law and like the judiciary in adjudicating regulatory violations before administrative judges. I don’t think say the German constitutional court would have allowed an entire new branch of government to be created without a constitutional amendment. While some conservatives might say the entire administrative state is unconstitutional, the public got its way ultimately. And you’re right I think it was the Supreme Court acting as a pressure release valve.

But overall I think it’s rare for conservatives on the Supreme Court to be out of step with the public on a legal issue where there is enough public consensus that an amendment would be possible under a lower 2/3 standard. Generally, conservatives are in the position of resisting change in areas where liberals might have a narrow majority or not even a majority.

There are scammers that call people and claim their relative is in danger or badly hurt or in hospital dying and they need to urgently do this and that to help them - and people are deceived exactly because the stress makes their response less measured and more susceptible to deceit. That doesn't mean that ethical company would employ such tactics in a pentest. There's a limit of how far you can go in simulation. Surely, real criminals could do it - but the company can maintain vigilance without resorting to essentially replicating the villains and causing almost as much harm to the victims as the real villains do.

I'm astonished how nobody at GD could predict what emotional harm would such a trick cause. There's a lot of ways to test it without such a cruel method. Even reviews - that you mentioned - would work as well without being cruel.

I worked at Triplebyte until I was laid off in April due to COVID. I’ve disagreed with many company decisions (including opt-out public profiles) but I’ve never questioned Ammon’s integrity. I remember him as an honest person (at times perhaps to his detriment) and if he claims this this is unintentional, then I believe him.

Independently, from what I remember of those parts of the company codebase, my prior would be that this is a bug, not malice.

Supreme Courts observation and Recommendations given in the following website.

https://www.vakilno1.com/bareacts/laws/sc-directions-misuse-...

Important points quoted verbatim below

"a) That the allegations against all relatives of the husband cannot be taken at face value when in normal course it may only be the husband or at best his parents who may be accused of demanding dowry or causing cruelty and in order to check abuse of over implication, clear supporting material needs to be produced to proceed against other relatives of a husband"

"b) That there has been a growing tendency to abuse the said provision to rope in all the relatives including parents of advanced age, minor children, siblings, grand-parents and uncles on the strength of vague and exaggerated allegations without there being any verifiable evidence of physical or mental harm or injury which several times results in harassment and even arrest of innocent family members, including women and senior citizens."

"c)That misuse of Section 498A has also been judicially acknowledged in several cases."

"d) That in respect of relatives who are ordinarily residing outside India, the matter should proceed only if the Investigation Officer is convinced that arrest is necessary for fair investigation and In such cases impounding of passport or issuance of red corner notice should be avoided."

"e) That provision of counseling under Section 14 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, should be made mandatory before registration of a case under Section 498A ."

> GUI's. Plain and simple. It's gotta be as absurdly easy to use like iMovie but at least have the basic capabilities of a Sony Vegas Home version (the $30 kind).

Agreed! I do hope I've done this, but yeah, you would need to try it and let me know :D I'm sure it can always be made easier, and I will certainly constantly improve on it!

> Cutting, scrubbing, aligning, have multiple tracks, and for gods sake a simple and easy way to understand what I'm encoding/rendering (see Shotcut).

Got it! Cutting, aligning, multiple tracks - it's there. Scrubbing - it's on my todo list (this is really difficult to implement! :)) I do think I have a simple way to show what you're rendering (once you press Export), but I'll take another look at Shotcut.

> KDENLive and Shotcut are two OSS video editors I've used simply because they're open source, but by god do they still have a long ways to go in terms of stability and ease of use.

Hehe, I just took a look at KDENLive - it's decent, but the UI is pretty horrible :D So I guess I'm in good shape :D

> For me, 99/100 times all I want to do is trim, split, have multiple tracks, have some fades, add text (animation or not), and lastly read and output various codecs.

Yup, makes sense! I do have a bit to go on this front, but yeah - all that I don't yet have, added to my todo list.

> Update: I had a thought right after posting. Basically if you could take Shotcut, but make it look and feel more like Sony Vegas, I think you hit the nail on the casual/semi-pro you're looking for.

Got it! Not a huge fan of Sony Vegas, but I'll take another look. My biggest inspiration so far has been Final Cut.

You are factually wrong. The treaty of Rome of 1957, which is currently still at the foundations of Europe, though with a different name, did in fact state from its very first version that the aim is to prevent war between Member States.

Europe is the first and main reason, if not THE reason, we have had the longest period of peace in Europe since the fall of the Roman empire.

> 1. It's usually not actually helpful to signal that you are desperate and lonely and your life is in the toilet. Once in a great while, someone will be truly wonderful to you because you did that but it's usually counterproductive.

> 3. Signaling desperation attracts predators far more often than it attracts real friends.

Yep, these are excellent and hugely valuable life lessons. There is a real and common tendency among humans to react to negativity by either running away or moving in for the kill.

On the surface this is a depressing realization, as you get older you come to understand that nobody really gives a fuck (maybe a handful of people do if you're lucky, but I'm convinced that many don't even know how to care about someone else). Most relationships are only skin deep.

However it's also a powerful revelation, it gives you a tool for understanding people and that tool can change your life. If you suspect someone may be involved with you simply to take advantage (emotionally, financially, sexually, socially, whatever), you can start asking them for things.

The ones that care will give you what you ask for. The ones that don't will disappear almost immediately (which is one hell of a moment of clarity when you've known them for years).

When you feel a relationship is one-sided and you ask the other person (nicely) to do something which will even out the score, the result is always a win. If they value the relationship you get what you want and the relationship is reaffirmed. If they don't then a toxic relationship ends and you can go focus on the healthy ones.

This tool is so powerful that it's really on you to be fair and strike a balance. Once you start using it you'll find it's surprisingly easy to overuse, there are a lot of people who have problems with saying no. There are no rules but I try to strike a 50/50 balance of give and take even when the other person says they're happy. Aside from your innate sense of fairness the only other real check on your ability to use other people is your reputation (that's an enormous one over time, though).
