CEC is always an incredible pain even with devices that supposedly have first-party support for it.
Back when I was 12 or so, I remember arguing with my "Computer Teacher" about various TLDs.

I had a similar point that ".com" doesn't need to be a commercial entity.

She continued to berate me in front of the class. I got detention and was told that all my .com domains were illegal.

Ah - the educational system at it's finest.
It's like crystallisation of the software. When you decide that this is the best version of an algorithm, you make a hardware that is extremely efficient in running that algorithm.

It probably means that, unless you have a groundbreaking algorithm on something that is available as hardware, you simply do software on something that is not "perfected".

It trims marginal improvements.
Why Your Business Needs a Chatbot
There’s another side, which is that from a source code management perspective, modern pattern matching forces you to group implementation by operation (to get all the benefits), modern OO let’s you group by “class”.

There’s no right or wrong answer here. For GUIs, it appears grouping by class is more effective. But many other times, it’s not.
There used to be something called PVM - Parallel Virtual Machine - a fairly simple library for distributed computing. Had to use it once back in Uni, it wasn't bad.

I’ll attribute the uncertainties chalked up to a lack of evidence as stated by a doctor to the doctor, and the uncertainties based on a fragile ego and willful ignorance to the doubly impeached former president.

For now, we’re talking about the former and his advice during the pandemic.
Not just any pipe, it's a "broken pipe".
That might be true except everyone thought the results were the as good as Google if you rebranded Bing or Yahoo! SERPs with Google branding, layout and style. So might be worth thinking about how marketing affected Google’s success.
Still sounds like science. A lot of effort, mostly tedious and mostly not exciting, a lot of work to tie up loose ends.
If anything it's just strange that such a part didn't exist before (if it really didn't). Accelerated encoding is hugely more power efficient than software encoding.
Free Sources for Your SaaS
A friend of mine just gathered 178 sources for your website's free traffic. We use them and got a huge amount of traffic for free. Every channel has its own rules and strategies and you should keep that in your mind!

I would also suggest you go with Capterra, G2 and TrustPilot as well.

We are doing this for last 6 month for Beupify and got huge results!

Hope the sources are helpful :)
You can split a video up across cores or even across servers. Encoding speed does not need to have a significant impact on publishing latency.
Thinking about it, v4 addresses and oil have a lot in common. The exhaustion/depletion is coming, but we keep finding ways to circumvent it. For oil you got fracking and sand. For v4 you see wider adoption of wide/carrier-grade NAT. In both cases it temporarily solves the supply problem really effectively. However it also ruins the environment.
>and suddenly people care and object, a lot!?

I object because I have no confidence that the unintended consequences won't be ecologically disastrous.
Perhaps they would serve ads?
Usually competition for a general platform like YouTube comes in the form of unbundling and in that case these last mile optimizations will matter little.
Somehow I never use tee because sed allows the same thing, with up to seven files. Sometimes I do not have a tee in the userland (yet), but in every toolchain I always have sed.

Sadly I think you're right. People who have an intuitive, intense opposition reaction to this idea probably think anyone who advocates it are literally Jurassic Park style insane evil villains who want to genetically destroy the planet and make money doing it. Or something. And it's just not true, but changing anyone's mind about that is probably impossible.
Very cool! I really love this idea, though I picked up a few things I found weird:

* Search kicks in properly at 3 characters, but removing a character (so aaa <- aa) produces results

* Same UUID used for invite links and profile images (may not actually be a 'problem' at all) - as a result of this and the wording of the 'follow invite' popup, I can give the impression that someone has invited someone else to follow them I guess? [1][2][3]

* Fully editable notifications with no signs of edit or history - makes context a little weird potentially

Other than this it'd be nice to have an opt-in follow option (so I get to approve followers) - along with discovery of followers/followed for contacts? Not sure how far that extends beyond app scope though, at least without becoming another LinkedIn :D

[2] IPster.io invite link = https://app.ipster.io/invite#npWDSXiTsWVpSNFO95Oh7z3eCy13

[3] Wording is "IPster.io has sent you a request to follow", which may/may not be misleading :P
ECB printed plenty and the block is not doing that great. Obviously bad vaccine rollout didn't help.

This seems insanely powerful and huge time saver.

> To me curfews that dictate that you cannot go outside is not the european way.

Is death the European way? In France, the curfew was implemented in order to avoid a more serious lockdown, and tightened when needed, only after hospital admission rates' progression were dangerously close to hospital capacity.

Nobody wants to limit personal freedoms, but considering the alternative was to let hospitals overflow and people die waiting for care, was there really any actual choice?

If temporary limits to personal freedom are the price to pay to not sacrifice your fellow co-citizens.. Who is still arguing against them? Are human lives less important than your right to go outside?

And of course everything is temporary. It has real life economic costs, people don't like it, and there will be elections sooner or later. Even if a power tripping politician likes keeping the population under curfew, they won't last.

“The Luxembourg unit (...) employs just 5,262 staff meaning that the income per employ amounts to €8.4m“

This puts things into perspective/scale.
You are right about cash.

And even if there was a windfall, eg imagine something silly like a gold meteorite just falling down on the treasury building: there are always opportunity costs to consider.

But monopoly profits aren't too different: they don't just fall from the sky either. An enforced monopoly like those granted from a patent works by restricting what other people can do.

What about non-regular smokers? Anecdotally I smoke once a month to once a year (sometimes not cigarettes but vape, hookah, cigars) and feel the stress relief without going into cycles. Even when I was semi-regularly vaping nicotine heavy liquid it wasn't because of _need_ to get the next dose, but the distinct relief.
What is floatplane, never heard of it? Seemingly an yt competitor by a somewhat popular youtuber. App on Android has "10k+" installs. Isn't it _way_ too early to say it wouldn't be a money losing business?
How is this a scam? The kids got what they paid for and the locals got paid. It might be a scam if the agency is pocketing most of the money but then we're not talking about people in poor countries making scams but Westerners scamming Westerners.

Did you watch the NRA guy's "elephant safari" footage? Rich people in Western countries pay good money for "hunts" with their only involvement being to pull the trigger for the final shot on the already downed and dying fully domesticated animal. No need to go through he hassle of actually teaching a foreigner to read tracks and shoot straight first if they just want to feel like they accomplished something.

The point isn't to scam Western kids. The point is to provide a service. The Western kids get to "help" build something, the locals get money to actually pay for people to build it properly (or literally anything else because unlike unskilled volunteer labor, money can be exchanged for goods and services).

I'm genuinely surprised you seem to think poor countries are poor in a way that can be solved with an influx of unskilled labor. Poor countries lack money, not unskilled labor.

What's going to convince more rich Western kids to do "charity work" in your country? Using them as the untrained and unskilled labor they likely are and telling them to haul bricks for a week until they are sick of it or hurt themselves, or letting them feel like they meaningfully contribute without overexerting themselves and then clean up when they're gone so you can go back to doing something productive? Contrast the PR implications of "yeah, I went there and they only let me haul bricks for two days until I threw my back out and now I might not get the football stipend" versus "yeah, I went there and helped them build a school but I heard they had to rebuild it later". People are much more likely to glorify the later (even if they didn't contribute much) and to dramatize the former ("the food was terrible, the weather was bad, there were mosquitos everywhere, I couldn't get any sleep, I was constantly in pain and they had no doctors"). Even without getting into liability, letting the wealthy foreign kid "play" rather than do anything actually important or dangerous to them seems a far safer option.

They're selling an experience and there's a lot of money in doing that. It's just another form of tourism.
Do mosquitos aid the ecosystem in any other way, apart from being food for insects?

Oh, it is that bad... Terrible.
You seem to focus a lot on fossil fuels. Have you reviewed the latest findings of the IPBES regarding the state of biodiversity? Fossil fuels and climate change are small factors when you consider all things. And the ongoing collpase of biodiversity is far more dangerous today than climate change.
I think it would be good if Facebook charged $10/month for an ad-free tracking free experience.

Sadly I suspect if you ran the numbers, you'd have to charge more like $80/month to fully compensate them from lost revenue. Only the richest users will pay, and those are the most valuable users.

Tell HN: There is no reason not to use Brave
Hey HN,

Just wanted to share that I've just installed Brave (from Chrome) to see what it was like. I thought I'd have to recreate all my passwords and shortcuts and stuff, and that it'd be missing some functionality.

In fact, it feels exactly the same as Chrome (plus a builtin ad blocker).

I wish I'd known earlier that it wasn't half baked...

The only problem I have is that I am not used to the lion icon :-)

And yet not much consumer boycotts are happening, hard for me to understand that. In Germany, it’s really easy to not use Amazon – prices aren’t exclusively low on Amazon and because you have 14 days return rules and the deliveries done via the same delivery companies (I know Amazon does some of it on its own, but it’s not any better than the rest in my experience) it’s really not more superior in the general case to any other online shop. Anyway, if you are in Germany, use idealo.de or similar price comparison websites to compare the prices for the item you want and try to avoid Amazon if you can. Fuck Amazon and other schemers avoiding real taxation. It’s nasty. They use public services for their infrastructure, they benefit of the consumer society in the EU, they should pay taxes, really simple.
Problem is that it doesn't really work.

Most patents are written in such a way to be maximally defendable/enforceable in court, and minimally useful for reproduction. Often you need to pair them with lots of trade secrets to get anything to work.

The other common argument in favour of patents is that they reward innovation. And that might or might not be an argument that actually works. Patents certainly also hinder innovation, so it's an empirical question which effect dominates, and whether any net beneficial effect is big enough to overcome our basic economic presumption against encouraging monopolies.
well I do believe video transcoding chips have been there forever. But I think those chips should be tailored to their exact application making them more efficient
Corporate income tax is paid on net profits, not on sales revenue (if it were otherwise, it would just ban low-margin businesses, which would be harmful to society). Amazon not owing corporate income tax isn't at all surprising. In most years that Amazon has existed, it didn't make a net profit at all, worldwide. It's still quite a low-margin business and I can easily imagine that the Europe business is still loss-making.

> The point is "depression" or "PTSD" probably don't exist among many others. There are perhaps dozens or hundreds of unique conditions currently lumped together because they present in vaguely similar ways - the good news is that we are making progress towards much more arguably "real" understandings, the bad news is we're still quite far away from diagnosing mental conditions with the same specificity we can diagnose cancers or viruses.

One sees this in a bizarre number of fields, that specialists act as though the classifications actually be as rigid and objective as in, say, physics, and that something objectively is or is not something, and then debate it.

I've actually read some debates between linguistics that are quite passionately debating whether something is an allophone of the same phoneme, or a different phoneme altogether, and I do not find such distinctions to be all that objective as the language they used suggests.

Also just to mention something else that is very interesting related with MC : "quasi-Monte Carlo techniques" (small example in https://github.com/ChristopheRappold/MCandPython/blob/master... ). For people interested in MC, just take a look to those keywords.
Even if we did, that is not non-polluting energy. Wasting it in massive amounts would still harm everyone.
I've actually used tools like copy.ai and converstion.ai for a couple of copywriting projects and found them to be very useful.
Of course the output isn't perfect, human intervention is required, but it is way better than doing the writing myself from scratch.
I think going forward we are going to see a lot of human + AI writing projects instead of purely human or purely AI.
The empiric question is whether that system actually promotes ingenuity.

It also hinders ingenuity, especially prominently displayed with software patents.

> [...] we give credit to creators and encourage creativity.

You can do that just fine without patents, too.

Eg socially by recognising their genius. But also more materially via trade secrets.

And as you say, people don't like banging their head against the wall over and over again, and that's true whether there's a patent system or not.
Except that it's wrong: _revenue_ may be €8.4m per employee, but that's not the same thing as income. In a low-margin retail business like Amazon's, of course the revenues will be high, but almost all of that is compensated for by costs of revenue.
I did not expect that, but sure enough, makes sense when I look at it. Thanks!
I'm not surprised at this argument at all, it's guaranteed to come up given the nature of hacker news commenters.

Which is why I said
